Body Lincoln High Closes in a COMMENCEMENT AT CO More than 8,000 People Witness of this Excellent S Every Available Seat Being Taken. The past week has been a busy one in the history of Lincoln High School. The entire week being given to various activities of the school. The Commencement exercises began with the Annual sermon at Ebenezer A. M. E. church, 16th and Lydia, Sunday, June 3d, at 11:00 a.m., when the teachers, graduates, steering committee and the entire school led by the most excellent Cadet Band followed by the Cadets in full uniform, girls of the school and the others just enumerated, marched from the High School building to the church where the following program was rendered: Hymn—How Firm a Foundation. Scripture Reading and Prayer—Rev C. A. Williams, Denver, Colo. Hymn—Yield Not to Temptation. Special Number—Miss Anna Smith. Melody—Lincoln High School Chorus. Sermon—Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor. "Praise Ye the Father"—Lincoln High School Chorus. On Monday evening the Seniors gave their Annual Play rendering in delightful form "Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors." There was such a large sale of tickets that many could not gain admission to this entertainment and it was repeated for their benefit Thursday afternoon with another large attendance. On Tuesday evening one of the most inspiring programs of the week was the oratorical prize contest for two prizes of ten and five dollars in gold given by Mr. J. W. Perry, president of the Southwest National Bank of Commerce. There were eight contestants, all of whom rendered excellent orations. First prize being won by Edw. Fladger, nephew of Dr. M. H. Lambright, and the second prize by Emmet Gleed. One of the contestants, who stood excellent chance of landing one of the prizes was Melvin Tolson, who evoked much applause by his witty and eloquent opening remarks, but before he had proceeded more than a moment or two he was seen to stagger, hesitate and fell like a shot unconscious upon the platform. The excellent training of the students evidenced itself when a half dozen cadets leaped quickly to the platform and tenderly carried him into one of the anteroons where two or three of the young ladies of the school bathed his face and ad ```markdown ``` The Kansas City Sun ministered to him until Drs. Jones and Walker, who were in the audience, responded and in a half hour succeeded in restoring him. The judges were composed of officers and employees of the Bank of Commerce. The program was interspersed with several delightful musical numbers and much enthusiasm was engendered by the Class-Yelling Contest between the Juniors and Seniors. On Wednesday, the Alumni gave its play, "The Suffragette Baby," which kept the large audience in a constant uproar and the players acquitted themselves fine. On Thursday afternoon immediately following the second rendition of the Senior play, a social reunion of the graduates from '85 to 1917 was held and several impromptu addresses were given and on Friday evening, June 8, the greatest Commencement ever witnessed in the history of a public school in this country was given in Convention Hall. As early as 6:30, the people could be seen wending their way toward Convention Hall and when the program began at 8:15 promptly there was not a vacant seat in the vast auditorium.

Up to last night twenty-five men had been enlisted from Kansas City for the Negro officers' training camp, which will open at Fort Des Moines, Ia., on June 18. The government expects to train 1,250 Negroes at this camp, 250 of whom are to come from the enlisted men in the Negro units of the regular army. This leaves 1,000 to come from the rest of the UUnited States. Instead of giving publicity to the fact that men were wanted for training at the camp for Negro officers, Captain O. R. Cole conferred with Dr. J. Dibble, N. Clark Smith, musical instructor at Lincoln High school, and other well known Negroes and asked them to send in men whom they could recommend. "It is surprising," said Captain Cole yesterday, "the number of university graduates among the Negro population who have applied and have been accepted. As the quota from the entire Central division was placed at only 195, I believe that Kansas City has more than done its part in this office alone with twenty-five men already accepted and awaiting call. This will close in the near future, however. NEWLYWEDS. Miss Ida D. Jones of St. Charles, Mo., and Rev. F. H. Gray of Centralia, Mo., were married at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. P. C.

Cincinnati, May 30.—John McRoberts, an aged Negro barber, who has long conducted a popular shop on McMillan street, in this city, yesterday subscribed for $4,000 of Liberty bonds, the investment a lifetime of saving for him.

Bureigh, the distinguished composer of songs, at a meeting in the First Congregational Church, held under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Moorfield Storey of Boston, the national president of the association, presided; the presentation being made by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States Senator from Washington. The Spingarn Medal is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor. Harry T. Burleigh, the winner of the medal for 1916, is a composer whose songs have for two or three seasons past been sung by a list of prominent singers which would make any composer's mouth water, from John McCormack to Kitty Cheatham. One song, "Deep River," has probably appeared on more concert programs during the past season more times than the work of any other contemporaneous composer; and across the ocean Burleigh's "The Young Warrior," with words by the Negro poet, James Weldon Johnson, translated into Italian and orchestrated by the great Zandonai, has become a sort of patriotic anthem of the present war. Mr. Burleigh's compositions include about a hundred songs, a few festival anthems for church chorus, and a volume of plantation melodies which he compiled in the effort to save them from falling into oblivion. The small group of songs by which he is best known include "Deep River," "The Grey Wolf," to words by Arthur Symons' a superb setting to Walt Whitman's "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors;" "The Soldier;" and "Jean." This is the third year the medal has been awarded. The first was presented to Dr. E. E. Just, of Howard University, for original researches in biology, Governor Whitman making the presentation in New York. Last year the Governor of Massachusetts presented the second medal in Boston to Lieut.-Col. Charles Young of the Tenth Cavalry U. S. Army, for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia. Possibility of Human Voice. Possibility of Human Voice. It is said that the singing of Jenny Lind once spurred a bird perched in a tree to sing in attempted rivalry; perhaps a cantatrice who could sing in the tenth octave would bring forth a concert of voices from the crickets and katydids, while lifting her human hearers into a new heaven of harmony. e [Name not visible] DR.

AMONG THE CHURCHES IN BUSINESS SINCE 1896 VINE STREET BAPSTEIT CHURCH. All services were well attended Sunday. Mr. W. Ross is improving. We hope he will continue. Mr. Geo. W. Taylor has been on the sick list but is much better at this writing. Mrs. Georgia Graham is much better. The young ministers will meet the 3d Sunday of this month with the B. Y. P. U. Everybody is invited. Miss Bloomer Gilham, president. Don't fail to come out and assist the Mission Circle in doing real mission work. Mrs. Gertrude Tibbs, president. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The attendance and interest in all the services were good. The bazaar given by the Aid Society yduring the week was both a social and financial success. The ladies desire to thank all for their liberal patronage and those who so kindly took part on the program, and especially the baby contest. Next Sunday will be the anniversary of the ministry of the pastor and wife. Special program at 11 a. m., 3 p. m. and 8 p. m. All are invited to all services. Last Sunday was Home Sunday at Allen Chapel and as it was an ideal day many were out and heard the ideal sermon delivered by Dr. Thomas. There was special music. During the day there were ten additions. In the evening Rev. Harrabellio Marrangeopa the Malay missionary preached his farewell sermon. He and his wife have adopted one of the babies born at the City hospital. A collection was taken for the baby and given to the adopted parents as encouragement for their noble deed. The ladies of the clubs in liquidating the mortgage indebtedness are expecting all who have pledged themselves to pay their money in Sunday. A special sermon will be delivered on this second Sunday in June which is Children's Day. It is hoped every adult will bring a little child with them. An excellent lecture was delivered by Professor Lewis D. Moore, Ph. D., of Howard university on "The New Science of Matrimony" at Allen Chapel the evening of May 30. PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH. The services last Sunday were all attended both morning and evening. The pastor, Rev. C. C. Callaway, preached two able sermons, in the morning from the subject "Sow Not Among Thorns," and in the evening, "Dry Bones in the Valley," which were enjoyed by all present. There were four additions to the church and the collection was $36.00. Deacon Wilerson on account of valuable services was presented a cornet. Sometimes ago he had lost his cornet causing him to be greatly inconvenienced in taking part with the orchestra over which he presides. Next Sunday morning the minister will preach on "The Eagle Stirring Her Nest" and in the evening "Guilty or Not Guilty, You must Die." The public is cordially invited to be present at both these services. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. At 9:30 the Sunday School held a very interested and well attended session. At 11:00 o'clock the pastor, Dr. Bacote, preached a very touching and soul stirring sermon on "The Promised Inheritance" to an overflowing congregation in the lecture room last Sunday. The B.-Y. P. U. was well attended. The evening services were devoted to Covenant meeting and the Lord's supper which was partaken of by a large membership. The Mission Circle held a very interesting meeting at the home of Sister Baker, 1712 Michigan avenue, last Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. Dedication of the new pipe organ will occur in the Auditorium Monday night, June 11. CLOSE OF DOUGLAS SCHOOL. Friday marked the close of another successful term of the Douglas (Colored) school located at Lathrop, Mo. On Wednesday evening the patrons were highly entertained by cipher contests by all grades. And the rapidity and exactness with which they did the work was pleasing to all. Then they were required to take a mental hike through large farms of Missouri describing the surface of the state, together with the cereals and mineral products, and showed themselves very efficient in the knowledge of geography in their state. On Friday we were entertained by exhibits in domestic science. Miss Jesse Madison, one of the 8th grade scholars, received three of the first honors: cooking, sewing and writing. Misfortune has visited our principal, B. B. Tully, who has beeen confined to his room for more than six months and the worse thing of all, has gone totally blind. Through the efforts of the assistant, Mrs. Tully, the school was carried to the end successfully and w with a good attendance. Mrs. Tully has stood the ests among other good schools and she shows that she has ability, friendship and patience with the children. We are glad that we have one of that type and we hope that she can be with us and instruct our children a few more terms. We congratulate you, Mrs. Tully, for your good efforts and your uniting leadership in this little school where we expect our little ones to get their foundation for education and perseverance to fight their own battles in times to come.

The elections in the various Masonic bodies have been going in the past week and the Sun hope to be able to give its readers a complete list of officers in its next issue. Summer School under the auspices of the Board of Education is to be conducted during the next six weeks for Colored teachers. The instructors will be all white and the sessions held at the Lincoln School building. In the Lincoln School Penny Lunch cafeteria this year eleven hundred fifty dollars total the receipts. The net profit for the year was less than five dollars, lunches being furnished that near actual cost. To implicitly obey the orders of our superiors is an unfailing rule in any position of life. Wherever one becomes bigger than his employer he is then too big for his job and will surely lost it. School will senn be out and thousands of Negro children will be exposed to all sorts of mortal danger unless their parents find something for them to do. That something might be taking care of a little back yard garden. It is not too late to plant now. CHILLICOTHE, MO.

H. Longdon...The annual service of the O. E. S. was held at the A. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon. An interesting annual sermon was delivered by Rev. J. W. Ward...Among our former citizens of prominence with us Decoration Day and after were: Prof. Joe E. Herriford, Mrs. Rena Jones, Mrs. Emma Green, Mrs. Jane Goins and Mrs. Laura Jackson of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Mitchell of Otumwa, wa.; Mr. Silas Clark of St. Joseph, Mo., and Mrs. Inez Wilson of Kansas City, Kan...Another vacant chair was noticeable in the rapidly thinning ranks of our pioneer citizens when a large number of white and colored people assembled at the A. M. E. Church last Friday afternoon to pay their last respect to Mr. Hannibal Nance who died Wednesday night. The funeral discourse delivered by Rev. R. H. Longdon was followed by a few timely remarks from Rev. I. L. Talley of the Baptist Church. Mr. Nance was ambitious and industrious but unpretentious. He was a loyal member of his Church in every respect. Few ever saw him ruffled or ugly temper as was illustrated during his years of parial deafness and his months of long suffering. And when the decisive moment came his was the unquestioning testimony of a soul at peace with its maker and strong in the assurances of a faith that would not shrink. "Till at the gate of heaven arrived, Tin at the gate of heaven arrived, The gate self opened wide, On golden hinges turning as by work divine." The deceased is survived by a wife, two children, a host of relatives and friends. Wanted—Children to care for by the day or week. 1514 E. 10th street. Bell phone, East 1147J.

Terms the most reasonable (Copyright, 1917, by W. G. Chapman.) "I'm glad you are asking little Zenalde Farr to your teas and tennis games. Poor child! since she came back from school, over a year ago, I haven't seen her anywhere but here." "Of course not, and you probably won't while that old crank of a father lives," said Mrs. Peter Maynard, handing her guest a cup of tea. He lives up there on the hill with Zenalde and a housekeeper, and he wouldn't let that girl outside the stone wall once a year if he could help it. "What's the matter with him?" asked Mrs. Felky between sips of tea. "He has peculiar ideas about women, thinks the way girls are brought up today is setting them on a swift run to the bottomless pit." "Well the hand-painted faces of some of them might easily lead to that disposition. But does he think he can keep her shut up forever? Some Romeo will get over that stone wall, and Zenaide will fly the coop." "I wouldn't wonder. Zenaide had brought back a good many twententh century views from school. But in the main her early training stays by her. Anthony Farr is a plious bigot, and thinks the stage an invention of the devil. I don't believe Zenaide ever was in a theater." "How strange," laughed the other woman. "How does he happen to let her come here?" "He knew my father years ago, and I've known him ever since we came here to live, six years ago. You could hardly find Oakhills on the map then, but it's getting to be something of a summer resort now." "What would he say," laughed the other woman, "if he knew you had introduced his little Puritan to an actor?" "For heaven's sake don't tell her or anyone else Robert Cary is an actor. She mustn't know just yet. I've got to THE WEEKLY PRESS A Small Boat. preek it gently to her. My conscience is snitting me now. But you see Robert is so fond of tennis, we couldn't make up the two on a side without her, and she's the best tennis player out here. So I said to him: 'Just wait till Zenaida Farr comes, and—' "Zenaida Farr!" he laughed. 'She must be a chorus girl! That's their brand of name.' Well you should have seen his face when the dainty little figure in the rosebud-sprigged muslin, demurely down to her instep, the frilled nchu and the big hat came into view. 'Ah,' he said as though smelling a rose. 'A mid-Victorian maid!' "Zenalae Farr, I informed him. But this time he didn't laugh. I'm afraid the poor fellow is in deep. As for Zenalde, I don't know. Girls with her training don't wear their hearts on the outside. But Romeo will climb that wall, and before that happens I've got to tell her." "Yes," answered Mrs. Felky, "if you're reckoning at all with the old man, I should say the sooner the better." "Robert Cary is a splendid fellow. I've known him a long time, and it's such a pretty romance, I hate to break it up." "Perhaps it has gone too far for you to break it up. How do you know but that he is just amusing himself? Men have done that before—and it will be the girl who will suffer." Mrs. Maynard was silent, thinking. Then she said with something like conviction: "Perhaps you are right. If she comes today I will tell her." Zennide meant to come. Even then she was dressing with a kind of ecstatic delight in every move she made. Cary had told her that he had some business that would take him near Oakhills that day, and though he never came out for week-ends to Mrs. Maynard's unless especially invited, he would try to run over there for an hour or two late in the afternoon if he might hope to meet her there. Like Juliet, time traveled a leaden-footed pace till she could see him, and she found herself starting out much too early. When she looked at her tiny watch she discovered it was only three. That certainly not be considered "late in the afternoon." So she concluded to make a detour of about a mile by the river road. She loved that way by the river, for often little boats went gliding past, sometimes with a solitary roower, but more often a man and a woman, and always they seemed happy. A small boat, keeping close to the opposite shore, came slowly down the river. The man was so earnestly talking to the girl in the stern that sometimes he stopped rowing and let the boat drift. She had flowers in her hand and she trailed them in the water and, as he bent nearer to her, she threw one of them in his face. He caught it, kissed the flower and thrust it into a little pocket. Then he looked up quickly toward the shore as though fearing he had been observed, and began to row quickly. As they came nearer Zenaide, who had been watching, suddenly recognized the man. It seemed that everything became chaos before her eyes. But she pulled herself together and went on watching. The girl was very pretty and the man, Robert Cary, stopped rowing and drew nearer and nearer to her. Suddenly he took her in his arms and kissed her many times on the lips. She struggled and tried to push him away. Then she screamed. Her cry must have attracted someone on the shore for he drew away and both looked toward the bank. She begged him to let her get out, and half rose from her seat, but he made her sit down and began to row swiftly down the stream and was soon around the bend and out of sight. Zenalde, crushed, horror-streicken, rose weakly and staggered on, not to go to Mrs. Maynard's, but toward home. After awhile she dropped down again in a secluded place on the road, away from the river. She felt too tired and exhausted to go on. Besides, she did not yet wish to meet her father and be asked questions about her visit to Mrs. Maynard. She had never yet tied to her father, and she shrank from beginning. She wondered what she would do about Jason. He was the old servitor who was always sent with the funny old cart to fetch her home from Mrs. Maynard's. She remembered how once, when the old man had been seen coming, Robert Cary had said: "Jason in search of the Golden Fleece!" He had looked meaningly at her hair, and added, with a sigh: "Fortunate Jason! He always finds it—and bears it away. It must be wonderful to be Jason!" She walked back to the road Jason would have to travel. It would not do for him to go to Mrs. Maynard's and find she had not been there. After a time he came jogging along with the old mare. She met him and got into the cart. Though he asked no questions, his perturbed face seemed to demand an explanation of such an unusual proceeding, so she simply said she had preferred to walk part of the way, but it might be just as well to say nothing to her father, as it might worry him. Jason promised discretion, but looked as though he would not be the second time a party to deceit. As the days went on Zenaide felt that she must invent some excuse to Mrs. Maynard for staying away, so she wrote her she was not feeling very well and had had a slight accident to her wrist, so that she could not play tennis. She felt like a wicked sinner for having written these falsehoods, but she could see no other way. One day as she came in from the garden she heard voices. It was Mrs. Maynard's! Yes, and her father's! She had actually invaded the sanctum! Zenaide went in. A man rose at her entrance. Robert Cary! She went so white at sight of him Mrs. Maynard thought she must have been more ill than she had said. Giving Cary a formal greeting, she paid all her attention to the lady. Her father chatted with Cary and the two seemed to be on very good terms. In a pause in her talk Farr broke in: "Zenalide," he said, "Mr. Cary tells me he knows you. I can't recall your speaking of him. Still, you may have. Simply the name Cary may have meant nothing. But Robert Cary, the son of my old college chum, Bob, means very much to me. He has promised to come again to see me. I want you to be friends." Zenalide forced a smile as she nodded acquiescence to her father, and again gave her attention to Mrs. Maynard. It was torture to be in the room with this man and, on pretense of showing Mrs. Maynard something, she took her out in the garden. After this, Cary came several times, but Zenide would never see him. Then her father took her to task. But how could she tell him? One day Cary brought her to bay in the garden. "Zenide!" he implored, "Why are you treating me this way? Mrs. Maynard thinks it may be because I am an actor. But if your father can forgive that, why cannot you?" "I wonder you dare come here," she said. "I saw I couldn't help seeing that disgraceful scene in the boat, and you—" He broke in on her with a peal of laughter. "And you can insult me by laughing! Oh!" He caught at her arm as she turned to go and made her hear him: "Listen to me! I am what they call a movie star. That was all for the camera." And he went on to explain. "Oh, Zenaalide! Dear heart! Don't make me suffer any more. There is no camera here now. I wait to tell you—I must tell you—I love you! I love you!" THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1917 The Wonderful Crimea BALAKLAVA WHEN, after the war, passenger steamers ply between New York and the ports of the Black sea, it may well be hoped that Americans, for their own sake, will discover and appreciate the wonderful Crimea. Probably most Americans, having forgotten the ancient history they once learned at school, have but few definite ideas connected with the name Crimea. There once was a war in the Crimea, for instance, involving a town which English-printing newspapers and others carefully missspell "Sebastopol." Also, it is remembered, there was Balaklava, and the charge that was "magnificent, but not war." And also, there was Florence Nightingale. All of these were, and some still are, notable. But there is much more than all these to the Crimea, says a writer in the magazine Russia, and indeed they suggest nothing whatever of the beautiful and extraordinary south coast stretch of the peninsula; nothing of its luxuriant and semi-tropical vegetation rising upon the steep heights which fringe the shore; nothing of the summer pastures in the high valleys —pastures as notable as the much better known almen of the Swiss Alps, which these grazing places for sheep closely resemble. Nor do our few American modern memories suggest the fact that the Crimea was one of the melting-pots of classical antiquity —not in the center of the ancient foundry, it is true—but the scene of colonizations by Greeks, Venetians, Genoese, invading Goths, Turks, Tartars; until in 1783 Russia established peace and control. Americans by the thousand visit the Riviera; by the thousands they may well repay themselves, a little later, by visiting what is often called "the Russian Riviera"—the south coast of the Crimea. Why the "Black" Sea. From the moment his ship enters the Black sea, the American explorer will find himself in a region of waters of a kind new to him. The Black sea is not actually black; but it is of a much darker blue than the Mediterranean. It is practically without tides, also—a great deep bowl with steep sides, with water some 4,500 feet deep close to the sides, and over 7,000 in the middle. The black mud of its bottom contains no animal life; on warm summer evenings its waters show phosphorescence. Into the northern side of this huge basin of the Black sea projects the peninsula of the Crimea, sloping upwards from the mainland towards the south until it reaches the summit of the Yalla range (Yalla is the Tartar word for "summer pasture") just behind the southern shore line; from there it plunges abruptly into the Black sea. It is this strip of steep, verdure-smothered coast land (five to eight miles wide) between the summits of the Yalla range and the sea that is the paradise of the Crimea. From the southernmost point of the peninsula, at Cape Sarytch, to Fayodosia (English, Theodosia) towards the northeast, the Yalla range bordering the coast is pierced by passes, through which carriage roads lead northward in general direction, across the high mountain pastures, and down the northward slope to the railroad lines from Sevastopol on the west shore, and Kertch and Fayodosia on the east, which join in the line to the mainland. This Yalla range (sometimes called the "Mountain Meadows mountains") is a continuation of the Caucasus, and has its western end at Cape Fiolente (the ancient Parthenium) which is the southwesternmost point of the Crimea. The ancient name of the cape is due to the legend that on promontory stood the temple of Artemis (Diana) in which Iphigeneia served as a priestess. The general elevation of the Yalla is from 1,800 to 2,500 feet. It is a creditable element in the Russian attitude towards the finer pleasure places that the generally ubiquitous railroad—or lacking that, the trolley car—has found no place on the south shore strip of the Crimea. This is a region of roads, southward from Sevasatopol on the west, to Fayodosla on the east. One may reach the coast places by boats plying between the two cities named, and there are some advantages, always, in seeing a bold and picturesque shore from the water side. But finally, one must depend on roads. Along the shore line is the main nighway, extending from Cape Sarytch on the west to Fayodosla on the east. To reach the south shore with the most satisfactory scenic accompaniments, one may well travel south by carriage or motor from the western rail terminus at Sevastopol. The road leads up the Baldar valley into the western heights of Yalla range and comes out on the heights above the shore through the Baldar gate, a passageway at an elevation of 1.630 feet which was blasted through the solid limestone of the mountain in 1848. Scenery Is Beautiful. From the opening of the Baldar Gate the characteristic beauty and magnificence of the views from the mountains down across the shore strip and out over the Black sea meet the visitor in striking fashion. The higher slopes of the mountains are thickly covered with forests of oak, beech, elm, pine, firs and other cone-bearing trees. Tatar villages, mosques, monasteries, the palaces of many Russian nobles, picturesque ruins of Greek and medieval fortresses and other buildings are set on the steep slopes, in the undergrowth of hazel and other nuts, groves of bays, of cypresses, mulberries, figs, olives, and pomegranates, with great vineyards, tobacco plantations, and gay gardens. The vineyards of the shore strip, covering nearly twenty thousand acres, have a high reputation, and the "grape cure" is one of the institutions of the Crimean summer resorts. Fruit of all kinds is abundant. Small wonder that the enthusiastic Russian considers his Crimea one of the loveliest and most desirable places in the world! To all this natural beauty are added the advantages of what is practically an island climate. In some winters the tops of the mountains are snow-covered, but snow and ice are rare on the south slope. The passage from the continental climate to the island type is shown by setting together the temperatures at Melitopol, on the mainland a little to the north of the Perekop isfhmus which is the neck of the Crimea, those at Simferopol in middle Crimea, and of Yalta, foremost of the coast resorts. At Melitopol, the annual mean temperature is 48 degrees; at Simferopol, which is just within the lower range of mountains, it is 50 degrees; while at Yalta it is 56.5 degrees. CAT AS AN AID TO HUMANITY Declaration of War on Feline Is Just a Fad and Is All "Tommyrot" Saves Writer. Society is very frequently a victim of fads. Many of these fads have been very harmful to the lower animals. Witness, for instance, the fashion of trimming ladies' hats with the surviving remains of deceased birds, until an Easter procession has been wont to look like an aviary funeral cortege. Some time ago certain wiseacres connected with our national government pronounced the doom of the English sparrow, "W. O. S." writes in National Humane Review. These wise scientists stated that they were driving away our native birds and that the sparrow was a public nuisance. Later developments have shown that the sparrow is one of the most active destroyers of harmful insects that we have and that he is living in peace with his feathered brethren. Now another fad has seized the extremists. The cat must go. It is a menace to birds. So are many other things which are not requested to go. Wild animated nature is largely made up of beast and bird and fish, with the stronger preying upon the weaker. Shall we kill all those with predatory instincts? The plans of nature have been maintained for thousands of years. The birds are increasing in number. The humane societies are killing tens of thousands of unwanted and tramp cats, and still the bloody-minded savants are announcing that the cat must go. We believe that this is tomyrot and that the cat is no more likely to go than did the sparrow. The sparrow is still with us and he is a useful little bird. The cat is proving man's protector from most undesirable vermin. His Problem. "Made any plans for this summer?" "No. I can't make up my mind whether to stay at home and keep the bugs out of my own potato plants or go into the country and help some patrolic farmer keep them off his." STUCK FAST IN THE TUNNEL Thrilling Experience of Officer in Escape From War Prison Deeply Impressed One Unknown to Him. "Nomad," a writer in the Boston Transcript, discussing the propensity of children to burrow into strawstacks and sandbanks, regardless of danger or perhaps because of it and the liking of imaginative childhood for stories of this kind, even though they are terrifying, goes on to say: "The particular terror of experience of this sort which most affected the Nomad's imagination in his childhood was the story of the escape of the Union prisoners from Libby prison during the war, by means of a hole burrowed from the floor of the prison, under the street, and out into a vacant lot somewhere. The prisoners took up some tiles or bricks on the floor of the prison at night, when unobserved, and dug down into the earth. By morning the bricks were ingeniously replaced, while the excavated earth was sent out in the prison refuse, or concealed in odd corners. Down into the earth and the darkness the prisoners dug a burrow that was just large enough for a man's body to pass. It ran far—it tunneled under the street, under a building. It emerged at last in a weedy lot. The time came when the prisoners made their attempt. Many never dared make it. They preferred an odious captivity to a glorious adventure. Through the grewsome hole, at last, 100 Union soldiers made their exit. Among them was Colonel Streight of Indiana, who was a big man, wide of girth. Midway of the hole he stuck fast. Those behind him could not push him through. He felt himself buried forever. No matter. He was out of the prison. But those before him, finding that no more came on, crept back and investigated. Then Streight was seized by the arms and pulled through! It was like being delivered from the grave. The 100 crawled through and sneaked out into the country. Forty-eight of them were recaptured by the Confederates and thrust back into the prison. Two were drowned; the other fifty-nine reached the Union lines and safety. It was a great adventure for them, a triumphant one. It gloriously nerved the excavation of many strawstacks. But think of Colonel Streight stuck in the hole!" Colonel Streight, a very large man even to old age, spent the years after the war in Indianapolis, and was a well-known figure on the streets, but probably few knew of his Libby prison experience. It is an odd thing that the grim incident should have made so deep an impression on one who never saw him. Wrote "Hall, Columbia." Although Francis Scott Key's "Star-Spangled Banner" is generally accepted to be the national anthem of the United States, there are those who prefer the sturdy American spirit which breathes in the first of the republic's great patriotic songs, Joseph Hopkinson's "Hall, Columbia." The latter was composed in 1798, 16 years before "The Star-Spangled Banner," and it was considered the national anthem for years after Key's song was written. "Hail, Columbia!" was first sung in public at a benefit given at the Chestnut Street theater in Philadelphia for a young actor and singer named Fox. This affair was staged April 25, 1798. Joseph Hopkinson, the author, was a Philadelphia lawyer, the son of Francis Hopkinson, also a distinguished lawyer and jurist. The father had gained fame as a poet by writing "The Battle of the Kegs," and the son inherited his poetic gifts. In answer to an appeal from Fox for a song to be sung at his benefit, Mr. Hopkinson wrote "Hail, Columbia!" It was received with great enthusiasm, and soon spread over the whole country. The air was that of the "President's March," then very popular. An Effective Ad. Jinkson, visiting a small northwestern town, lost his pet dog, which he highly prized. He therefore rushed to the office of the one and only newspaper in the place and handed in an advertisement, offering $100 reward for the return of his companion. A little later, thinking the matter over, he decided that he would be more likely to obtain the missing animal if he inserted the words: "No questions asked." He therefore went across to the office to see if this could be done. When he arrived only a small boy was to be seen. "Where's the editor?" he asked. "Out." "And the assistant editor?" "Out." "Well, the reporter?" "Out." "I'll see the printer, then." "Well, where on earth has the staff gone to?" "Out looking for your dog." Visible Means of Support A certain magistrate had the reputation of being very hard on vagrants. One of these came before him charged with loitering, and after he had pleaded guilty the magistrate put some questions to him, which he answered readily enough, says the San Francisco Chronicle. "Have you any visible means of support?" "Yes, your honor," replied Joe, as quick as lightning. Then, turning to where he perceived his wife in the audience, "Stand up, Mary, so that his worship can see you." NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS WASHINGTON.—The capital of the nation today is facing an era of unprecedented prosperity, both from the standpoint of the business man, the government employee, and the average citizen, and has greater opportunities more people spending money here from other cities than ever before. For the world war is doing for Washington what history has shown all wars do for the capitals of the nation at war—it has attracted thousands of people to the capital and put many more thousands at work to carry on the vast business which war has brought to the various governmental departments. Railroad officials report that since April 1 passenger traffic to Washington has increased at least 50 per cent over the usual normal at this time of the year. Every hotel in Washington is doing record-breaking business and reaping almost undreamed-of profits. Instead of an average of from 20 to 50 per cent of their rooms being empty, hotel men in Washington today are finding their buildings wholly inadequate to meet the demands upon them. Rooms are at a premium and at present there is no indication of a let-up. Office buildings in Washington are filled to capacity, every available foot of space being occupied and on a paying basis. Several of the larger office buildings report that they are daily forced to turn prospective tenants away because of inability to provide space. Even old buildings which until quite recently have been almost entirely unoccupied, today are procuring all the tenants they can handle. Youths of Capital Showing Eagerness to Enlist Youths of Capital Showing Eagerness to Enlist ARMY and navy recruiting officers on duty at the various stations in Washington declared that the number of applicants and enlistments had picked up considerably. A rush of recruits is expected by those who prefer to enlist newly accepted recruits expressed the philosophy of those who are too proud and have too much self-respect to wait to be drafted when the country is calling for men to fight Germany. "The man who waits to be conscripted," he added, "ought to have a petticoat put over his uniform. As for me, I am joining the engineer corps and I hope we'll be the first troops sent across the pond." Another recruit for the aviation corps was enlisted at the navy recruiting station, which fills vacancies in this branch of the service for the present. Lieutenant Morgan, in charge of the station, stated that vacancies exist for machinist mates. Troop B of the District National Guard, hfving reached war strength, is now encamped for a week's stay at the rifle range at Congress Heights. Their office was turned over to a recruiting detail from Troop A, of the District Guard, which is badly in need of additional recruits because 40 men from this organization alone have been designated for training at the Fort Myer Officers' Reserve camp. LeRoy Herron made a practice march to the rifle range and pitched camp. The cavalrymen will be put through an arduous course of training. Washington Has No Fear of Zeppelin Attacks Washington Has No Fear of Zeppelin Attacks ALTHOUGH it would be a daring aviator who would attempt to cross the Atlantic for a night air attack on Washington, if some intrepid German Zeppelin commander should attempt the feat he will not find the capital tective measures are complete. It is regarded as significant that the searchlights made their appearance soon after the arrival of British and French officers familiar with the methods employed in London and Paris to keep off the "Zeps." Major Rees, one of the most efficient of British airmen, who is a member of the Balfour commission, is authority for the statement that it is no longer healthy for Zeppelins to attempt raids on either the English or French capitals. Apparently American army and navy officials have little fear of a German air attack on American coast cities. They are confident of their ability to give any would-be invaders such a warm reception that an attempted attack would not be repeated.

Despite the preachings of the pessimist that the entry of the United States into the war would bring ruin to business in general, and untold hardships to the individual, all indications today are that such gloomy outlook is entirely unwarranted. More money is being spent in Washington today than ever before in the history of the country; more money is being paid out here in salaries than ever before, and there are from other cities than ever before.

Their plows are worth many cannon. The seed they sow is worth regiments of men. For no army can fight without food and no nation can sustain war without food. The allies, our allies, are beginning to feel the pinch of want, not in the same degree as the people of central Europe, but that will come unless America puts forth all her energies to supply them. But it is most essential to feed America first. Even now a large class of our people are feeling the weight of food shortage. Food riots and partial famine are threatened by crop failure in the United States. So it is up to the American farmer to do his best. Many conditions have contributed to bring about the situation in which there are hunger riots in a land so rich naturally. Much of the shortage of food is primarily due to costly habits of eating which for many decades have been holding all classes in their clutch. The time is at hand when the nation will appreciate the many valuable articles which before Columbus came the Indians were developing. There are many food products native to the Western world which have been unaccountably neglected. The most striking examples of unused value in foods is the corn crop. Every other nation in the world is eager for American corn, and yet this cheap and highly nutritious cereal is neglected in the land which is its main source of supply. What wheat was to the armies of old, corn could be to the forces of the United States. The legions of Hannibal and of Caesar subsisted on the whole wheat; Gaul's conqueror in his "Commentaries" tells how soldiers chewed frumentum as they marched. To this day Roman and Punic skeletons are unearthed on the old battlefields of Europe and the skulls are firm and hard because of the valuable salts and bone-building constituents which came from the wheaten diet of the ancient soldiery. Corn is no less valuable as a builder of brave and sturdy men. The favorite ration of Davy Crockett was parched and ground corn, which he carried with him into the depths of the forest. It was a saying of his that if a man had a gun and ten pounds of parched corn he could easily live a year. His diet was a trick learned from the Indians, who were able to withstand the fatigues of warpath and hunting trail because of this simple and quickly assimilated food. The corn, rich in starch and protein, parched until it was made quickly digestible, was mixed with water. A cupful of this most simple of all the elixirs had the effect of almost instantly strengthening the tired body. The government of the United States urges upon the people of this country that at least one-fourth part of cornmeal be added to wheaten flour in the making of bread. As a matter of fact, corn has been used in the form of a fine flour for centuries by various tribes of Indians, and when well enough ground, it is fully as palatable as the wheaten product. The coarse cornmeal bears little resemblance to the impalpable powder of corn which the primitive races of this continent made by grinding between stones and that by hand. The outer covering of the kernels is scraped off after soaking them in hot water to which a little lye has been added. This flour is mixed with water at times, and the white liquid resulting is qunified with much relish. It is an emergency ration of the highest food value. Whittier has sung the praises of the dish of samp and milk by homespun beauty poured. The hominy block in the time of Daniel Boone was an adjunct of the cabin of every settler. It stood at the edge of clearings as a mark of the diet tw which those steel-thewed ploneers looked for strength. The Johnnycake and the corn pone of the hardy mountainers of the South bear abundant testimony to the body-building qualities of the staple from which they are derived. Corn enters into the composition of patent break- A man is cutting corn. fast foods, but long before the days of cartons and bright labels the Indians were making corn dishes which for delicacy of flavor and dietetic value put the products of this modern day to shame. They also constructed flapjacks which literally melted in the mouth. The tortillas of the Central American countries are a form of corn which appeals to travelers. The tortilla is made of corn flour and is a first cousin of the pancake. Before it cools it is rolled up and a surprise party put inside it, usually a little high-seasoned meat. It is then kept for future use. A favorite breakfast in the Central American countries consists of two tortillas which have been heated before the fire. They and a cup of coffee are enough to satisfy even the hungriest Indian. Totopztil tastes much better than it sounds. It is a very thin, light wafer made by the Indians in What the Insignia On Uniforms Means In times of peace by means of the amount of gold braid and shiny buttons displayed the average man could usually guess the rank of an officer within a few grades, but in the stern days of war, when officers and men are clad alike in business-like khaki, there is little to tell a private from a major. There is, of course, a method in this, for it would not do in modern warfare to make officers conspicuous to the enemy. In all branches of the service, infantry, cavalry and artillery, the same symbols or insignia of rank are used. The corporal, at the bottom of the scale of officers, is distinguished from the private by the chevron, consisting of two bars on the right sleeve. In the case of the sergeant, next highest in rank, the chevron is of three inverted V-shaped bars. All enlisted men, including these non-comissioned officers, wear on one side of their-coats or blouses a bronze button with the number of their organization, and in relief crossed rifles for the infantry, crossed sabers for the cavalry and crossed cannon for the artillery. Coast and field artillerymen may be distinguished by the fact that in the case of the former in addition to the cannon there is a shell at the point of intersection of the cannon. The second lieutenant, lowest in rank of the commissioned officers, may be distinguished from the enlisted man, despite the fact that he wears no insignia on his shoulder straps, by the gold marking on his collar. This symbol, as in the case of the enlisted men, is of crossed rifles, sabers or cannon, according to the branch of the service, and is worn by all regimental officers. On the other side of the collar are the letters "U. S." in gold. Infantry officers may be distinguished by the fact that the latter wear canvas leggings, while the officers have tan leather leggings. First lieutenants have a silver bar on their shoulder straps, while captains have two bars. Of the field officers, the major wears a gold leaf, and the colonel a silver spread eagle. The brigadier general has one silver star, and the major general THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1917. ers Will t War LESS GOLD sins.—I We ation Pilate' kneed cry of est pag the m innocen lel.

The corn from which the cake is made is first slightly parched and then pounded to a fine dust. The cakes are flakellike and not much thicker than wrapping paper. They are carried in small bags thrown over the shoulders of the hardy Indians. Totopatil is dry and crumply and yet delicious in flavor as well as sustaining in its qualities. The biscuit and crackers of civilization are tame in flavor as compared with this aboriginal provender. Corn flourishes in the fertile bottom of the middle West, under the lee of the mesas of Arizona, and even in regions of the Northwest, where until recently it had a hard time to escape the frost. One of the greatest gifts which the Indians bestowed upon the world was this grain of gold. The general impression is that the redskin was merely a hunter, when in reality he was a walking experimental agricultural station. It is one of the favorite outdoor pastimes of the Indians of the Southwest to laugh at the government agricultural experts who have from time to time been sent out there to teach them how to grow corn. The Indians profess great interest, and not to appear unappreciative, they used to plant corn patches alongside those of the federal apostles of modern farming. The government corn came up bright and green and soon withered away, while that of the Indians flourished like weeping willows by the river's brink. The Indians in order to avoid the killing dryness often lodged the kernels three and four feet below the surface in the bottom of holes made by their planting sticks. Hence the development of the deep-growing corn which often raises only its ears above the surface. The corn or maize is essentially a tropical plant which had its origin in Mexico and was adapted to this climate by the Indians. The agricultural secrets of the Mandan Indians have recently been applied in the Dakotas with such success that the domain of the tassel-crowned King Corn has been much extended. The introduction of the Indian methods have made it possible for the farmers to grow a corn which can be harvested within 60 days after it is planted and thus escape the frosts which would ruin it even in its maturity. Corn, therefore, should be an ideal food for both the soldiery and the civil population, for it now may be raised abundantly in practically every part of the country. Vast tracts could be devoted to the grain and many crops could be harvested. In winter the Americans could learn the value of the hog and hominy, of the flavor of that delectable compound of cornmeal and pig's head, known as scrapple, and could eat with zest fried mush and corn cakes. The summer would bring them corn flour and polenta and many other foods derived from the yellow cereal. the highest officer in our army at present, has two silver stars. The campaign hats—broad-brimmed felt hats with stiff brims—afford another clue to the arm to which the weirer belongs. The hats of all enlisted men are allike, but the hat cord around the crown reveals by its color the branch of the service to which the man belongs. A blue cord signifies infantry, a yellow cord cavalry, and a red cord artillery, either coast or field. The men of the quartermaster's corps have buff, the engineering corps red and white, the signal corps orange and white, and the hospital corps maroon and white hat cords. Officers of all branches wear gold and black hat cords, the insignia on their collars being the only indications of rank. The insignia of the quartermaster's corps is a wing wheel crossed by a key and sword, of the engineering corps three turrets, and of the signal corps crossed flags. There are a few other emblems, but these are the most important. In addition to the hat cords used in the service there are frequently seen on the streets the red, white and blue cords of the men who have been at Plattsburg or other camps, but who are not actually in the service. The home-defense men wear green and white hat cords and slate-colored uniforms to distinguish them from the regulars —New York Sun. PROTESTS OF ESTEEM "Is Bliggins a patrol?" "I don't know.

SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School School of the Moody Bible Institute. (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 10 JESUS CRUCIFIED. LESSON TEXT-John 19:16-22, 25-30. GOLDEN TEXT-Christ died for our sins.-I Cor. 15.3. We are compelled to omit a consideration of that dark, despicable trial in Pilate's judgment hall. Pilate's weakneed subservience to custom and the cry of the politician is one of the blackest pages in history. His scourging of the man whom he, himself, declared innocent, is practically without parallel. After the mocking and the scourging, Pilate said unto the people, Behold the man" (v.5), and later in sarcasm he said to the same people, "Behold your king" (v.14). Teachers should emphasize at the beginning and all through this lesson that Jesus suffered and died for the sins of all men, ours as well as those of his own day. I. The Crucifixion of Jesus (vv. 16-22). It was about nine o'clock in the morning when Pilate gave his infamous order that Jesus should be crucified. It was indeed a sorrowful process which moved itself along the "Via Dolorosa" (the Sorrowful Way), consisting of the Roman soldiers, the totering, physically exhausted man of Galllee, and, Luke adds, "sorrowing women." They took him to the place of a skull, a hill about sixty feet high, at the foot of which was the rock-hewn pulcher in which his body was later laid. The place was called in Hebrew "Golgotha," the Aramaic for skull. Calvary is the Latin for the same. On either side of him were crucified the robbers, which was an evident effort to add to his shame as well as a salutary warning to the Passover pilgrims. Over the cross Pilate wrote a title on a wooden tablet. Following the usual custom, this was nailed at the head of Jesus, setting his crime. The words it bore were "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," as though Pilate would take malicious revenge upon the mob which had made him perform a deed he had sought his crime. The words it bore were "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," as though Pilate would take malicious revenge upon the mob which had made him perform a deed he had sought his crime. The words it bore were "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." Pilate knew that he was innocent, and sought to let him go free, but rather to incur the hatred of the Jewish authorities, he yielded to their demand for his blood, and became a party to the murder of the Son of God. Men today take a part in his crucifixion rather than surrender wholly to him, and pay the price of open confession. "They crucified him." How these words laid the pride of men in the dust. Human nature is the same today as it was two thousand years ago when the world's bitterest hate was wreaked not upon a bad man but upon the best man, the perfect man, the God-man. The pain Jesus suffered on Calvary it was no imagination. He suffered it all for us (Isa. 53:6), but the physical suffering was not the most severe agony he bore (Ps. 69:20; Matt. 27:46). The crucifixion of Jesus was part of the eternal purposes of God's love and redemption. II. The World's Darkest Hour (vv, 23-30). Each of the Gospel writers refers to the part the soldiers took in casting lots for his garments. They were unconsciously fulfilling the prophecy of Psalm 22:18, and it was from their number that one of the supreme testimonies to the character of Christ came (See Matt. 27:54). The first three evangelists tell us of the throng of pilgrims who passed along the highway from the north, close at hand, and who wagged their heads in imitation and mockery of the agony of the one who was being crucified. But there were others who were spectators of this event, a group of Christ lovers (v. 25). "It is finished." These are remarkable words. He had finished his suffering; he had finished that for which he came into the world when he began his ministry; he had finished the mission for which his father had sent him into the world; he had finished and fulfilled the prophecies concerning his suffering and death; he had completed the work of the redemption; the atonement was finished, and Satan's power was finished; the Mosaic law was finished as far as its claims upon the believer were concerned (Rom. 10:4; Col. 2:13; Eph. 2:15 and 16). Outwardly it seemed to be Satan's supreme hour. It was the world's darkest hour. The seven last words. These would be an interesting study for any class, (1) "Father forgive them for they know not what they do;" (2) "Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise." (3) "Woman, behold thy son; (4) "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (5) "I thirst;" (6) "It is finished;" (7) "Father into thy hands I commit my spirit." Christ had power to lay down his life. He had power to take it up again, but he laid it down, submitting to a burial in the tomb. At that moment note the effect upon the malefactor, upon the centurion, upon the elements of cloud and sky, upon the veil of the temple, upon the people and upon his friends. What is the effect of this story upon yourself, teachers, and upon those who are listening to your instruction? Fads And Fancies Of Fashion J ```markdown ``` New Ideas in Graduation Frocks If it were not for net, crepe georgette might be said to hold first place in the esteem of fashion for midsummer dressy frocks, and if it were not for crepe georgette, we would certainly concede that distinction to net. As it is they flourish with equal success and appear side by side in the most enchanting dresses. But when it comes to choosing materials for graduation frocks there is nothing quite so well liked as net. It is sprightly and youthful looking and dresses made of it are planned to visualize the young summer. Plain, fine meshed nets are exactly suited to the youth of those who are just about to bid farewell to schooldays. In spite of the lovely, interminable procession of white-clad maids that have passed along this same path, some new touches have been found to distinguish the dresses of this year's graduates. Little, inconspicuous accessories and novel decorations make them interesting and the daintiness and refinement of net and organdie make them beautiful. ```markdown ``` Gifts Made of Ribbons No matter what dull or matter-of-fact business may lead unwilling feet along the ways of department stores, something interesting is going to happen once they are inside. For all paths lead past the ribbon counter—those who know women and ribbon plan it that way. Ribbons are the one luxury that all women afford, and she is a cold-hearted creature who can pass them without lingering awhile to look at the most beautiful and the most splendid products of the looms. They refresh the soul like flowers. In June and in December ribbons are at their best, for in these months people make many gifts. Just now there are displays that merit the name of gorgeous, in which the richest ribbons are shown made up into bags or used to ornament plainer ribbons in girdles. Plain satin and flowered ribbons are chosen for exquisite corset-covers to be worn under blouses of georgette crepe or net. Breakfast and boudour capes are made of satin ribbon with The net frock shown in the picture will set off a youthful figure. It is simple enough with a plain, moderately full skirt and wide hem. Fine or glandle ruching is set on the skirt in medallions and about the collar and sleeves. The bodice is very simple with square neck and a collar that simulates a fichu at the front. It ends under a girdle of taffeta edged with narrow ribbon. Narrow ribbons are placed over the shoulders and they pass under the girdle, at the front and back, and fall below the waistline to about half the length of the skirt. They are finished with little pink rosebuds near the ends. Also, there are tiny pink rosebuds at the neck. The ribbons and the girdle may be in white, but in the dress, as pictured, they are in blue. These simple net dresses are worn over slips of white or colored organelle. Lace and crochet balls, small tuckles and embroidery appear in their decoration and the fashion of the hour favors light pink and blue combined in girdles and ribbons worn with them. ```markdown ``` hand crochet or fine machine made laces combined with them. Luxurious negligees and even petticoats are added to the long list of things suggesting gifts for the bride or her maids, and for girl graduates. Two girdles are shown in the picture. One of them is of wide black satin ribbon, with bands of brocade, in turquoise blue and silver, across the ends and a finish of little silver balls. The other is a handsome Roman stripe in a long sash with ends finished with black silk tassels. The girlfle slips through two black silk slides. The corset covers are of flowered ribbon and plain satin ribbon joined with needlework stitches and of wide moire with satin stripes combined with lace. In the latter, clusters of the tiniest roses, made of baby ribbon, are set across the front. Julia Bottomley Music-Baseball-Gym-Theatre-Boxing The Secret of Getting Rich! Something Doing Every Night AT THE Lincoln Electric Park 20th and Woodland HOMES NOT HOUSES. By Beni. V. Longdon. A house may be ever so humble and its furnishings poor and yet there is in it the atmosphere and spirit of what we call home. There are some homes into which we like to go. And we are apt to drop into one of these places and finish the evening chat for which we needed no prompts of duty. What is the charm? The beauty of the house, the forms of entertainment offered having nothing to do with the matter. We like to go to certain houses because we recognize something "homey" the moment we get into their atmosphere. The real thing that makes a house a home is something that money can't buy. A home is made of mutual love and service, of kindness and gentleness and truthfulness. And this making a home, we are urging, should be the most earnest and constant endeavor and holy ambition of every Negro. We once called upon a gentleman who was a perfect stranger to us whom a friend wished us to meet. Our arrival was inopportune. Our host had just returned from a long visit and had not had time to renew his toilete. But we stayed in that house an hour and would have stayed all the rest of the day had any decent sense of courtesy permitted. Why is it? As nearly as we can tell it is be cause this stranger upon whom we ```markdown ``` In fallen arches there is one little bone in the foot that has to bear the brunt of all the trouble. Doctors call this the seaphoid bone. It is the keystone of the foot's arch. When it is displaced—down tumbles the arch and foot-misery follows. The Crossett "Doctor" Shoe supports every bone in the foot. The outside of the heel is extended so as to form a sturdy foundation. The soft, pliable leather of the "upper" is so carefully shaped that it fits as snugly as a bandage. Try on a pair of Crossett "Doctor" Shoes.

One would have supposed that he had endless leisure and that no other occupation could be quite so congenial as was that of entertaining chance strangers. We told our experience to the friend who had asked us to make the call. "That house," said he, "has been for years the most popular home in the city. Other people think they are clever if they can entertain you well but his guests believe that they are entertaining him." A writer in a recent magazine so finely told us of a lady who said "I like a hostess to seem glad to see me, even if she merely says, "My dear Mrs. So-and-So, I am delighted! Just sit right down on this bent pin." Now what of the host or hostess who puts you on such good terms with yourself that you never feel the pin at all? Can you do it? Do you live in a home or in a house? KANSAS CITY ADMIRES LINCOLN PHOTO-PLAYS. Noted Race Photo Plays Make Record Run.

The first Separate Battalion, District National Guards, under command of Major James E. Walker, is still doing guard duty in a highly acceptable manner and about the national capital. The State, War and Navy Building, the filtration plant near Howard University and points about the bridges of the city are being carefully looked after by these gallant soldier-boys. Neew recruits are coming in daily and there is a hope that the battalion will be expanded into a regiment. The four companies will furnish two men each, or eight all told, for the officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa.-Washington Bee.
