Kansas City Sun

HUSBAND A WOMAN The Kansas City Sun BOY SHOOTS MURDERER OF FATHER VOLUME IX. NUMBER 51. MOORE-HAD BEEN OUT OF JJAIL ONLY A FEW HOURS WHEN HIS VICTIMS'S SON OPENED FIRE. In an attempt to avenge his father's death, Ben Bramlitt, colored, shot Will Moore, colored, shortly before six o'clock Wednesday evening, inflicting severe flesh wounds. Some time ago Moore shot Rev. Bramlitt, colored, near the tent in which meetings were being held on Wabash avenue, and the pastor died later from the effects of these wounds. Moore was arrested, given a preliminary hearing and held for district court. Yesterday morning his attorney, F. L. Martin, arranged his bond and secured Judge Sargant's approval. Moore was released from the county jail at 11 o'clock. A little while after he was released young Bramlitt met Moore's wife on the street and inquired if Moore was at liberty. They met somewhere in the 900 block on Eighteenth street, just before six o'clock, and Bramlitt began shooting. It is generally thought that he fired three shots, though some say that five were fired. One tore through the flesh of Moore's hips, making a nasty wound. Bramlit escaped and all efforts to locate him failed. An attempt was made at the preliminary hearing to show that the younger Bramlit fired the shots that struck his father and the testimony tended to show that he had a gun. The father, Rev. Joseph Bramlit, had been pastor of St. Mary's Baptist church for some time and was respected among his people in this city. This shooting was the outcropping of a fued that has existed in the church and has caused much trouble in the past—Wichitz Eagle. OFFICER WALTER HOWARD. OFFICER WALTER HOWARD, One of our most efficient and courageous Police Officers who succeeded in capturing the much wanted burglar who has been robbing homes on the South Side for the past two months. He was a Negro known as Rucks. Officer Howard captured him without a struggle. The people of the Sixth District feel secure when Officer Howard is on their beat. WHERE COLORED GUARDSMEN WILL MOBOLIZE. Washington, D. C., August 9—There are two complete regiments of Negro guardmen; the Fifteenth New York and the Eighth Illinois. There are two battalions, one from the District of Columbia and one from Ohio. Connecticut, Maryland, Tennessee and Massachusetts furnish four separate companies. These troops were mustered into service on August 5. The Illinois troops go to Houston, Tex.; the New York troops to Spartansburg, S. C.; District of Columbia, to Anniston, Ala.; the Ohio to Montgomery, Ala.; the Tennessee Company, to Charlotte, N. C. It is rumored that southern whites do not want the colored troops sent to the South. According to information gleaned from the War Department, that in the event of any trouble arising it will be handled by the United States Army, but no trouble is anticipated from the troops. Distinguished visitors coming to Des Moines next week: Prof. Wm. Pickens of Baltimore, Md.; Dr. St. Geo. A. M. McCallum of Florence, Ala.; Dr. H. H. Proctor, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga.; Principal Major R. R., Moton of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Prof. B. Du Bois of New York, editor of Crisis; Hon. Nelson C. Crews of Kansas City.—Bystander. HIGH PRAISE GIVEN FT. DES MOINES MEN. Physical Condition Said to Be Better Than in Any Other Training Camp. Men in training for officers' commissions at the Fort Des Moines camp are in better physical condition than in any other training camp in the United States, says Capt. John Cook, U. S. A., medical officer in the regular army for more than twenty-eight years. According to comparative figures the camp excels any in the United States for physical condition. The men in training are expecting the announcement to come any day of the awarding of commissions to the successful candidates. Examinations in the various companies are daily affairs, tests in different phases of the military game being given several companies every day. The process of weeding out the least capable men from the candidates is now in progress. Nearly 150 have been excused from further work at the camp because of apparent inability to become good officers in the length of time allowed by the training camp law. Not Actual Failures. The excused men, however, are not necessarily to be considered as having failed. Ninety-two per cent of these men were dismissed not because of their failure to absorb the business of war but for minor physical defects, too slight to prevent their acceptance for the camp, and too great to enable them to qualify for commissions under the strict standards of the United States army. Many of the 8 per cent excused for other reasons were considered by the officers as valuable men, who might have produced a number of good officers after a longer period of study, but whose measure of adaptability was not great enough for them to cram the knowledge essential in three months. The remaining officers are expected to supply enough men capable of holding commissions in the regiments of colored soldiers to be raised under the selective draft law. Regulars Take High Rank. Among the most valuable candidates are the privates and non-commissioned officers of the Negro regiments in the regular army, who are trying for places. These men have proved themselves invaluable aids to the instructing officers in the camp, and will, most of them, qualify as high officers under examination. Of the medical corps which is being established at the fort now to provide colored surgeons for the Negro troops, forty-two men have arrived and a number of doctors in civil life who had been candidates in the officers' training camp division have been transferred to the medical department. Several army officers have been assigned to the camp by the war department and are expected to arrive within a few days. NEGRO PATRIOTIC MASS MEET. ING. A Negro Patriotic Mass meeting will be held at the Ebenezer A. M. E. Church Thursday evening, August 23, at 8:30 p. m. Every Negro in Kansas City should attend this meeting. Addresses will be delivered by various men on "The Colored Laborer, the Backbone of the Negro Race." We believe that at this crucial time of World Wars, race riots and strikes all over the country and as the whole world is in an uproar, that the Negroes should have a general getting together and it is the intention of this committee to make this meeting a weekly affair to be held at the Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, 16th and Lydia, Thursday evening of each week as, Rev. W. C. Williams has kindly donated the use of his Church without cost. SIGNED: J. J. Allen, Rev. W. C. Williams. Dr. P. B. JJohnson, Prof. R. T. Coles, L. A. Knox, Rev. Wm. H. Thomas, W. C. Hueston, N. C. Crews, A. W. Harris, C. A. Franklin. MASONS. ATTENTION! The Past Masters' Council will meet Sunday, August 19, at 3 p. m. at the Masonic Temple, 18th and Woodland All invited. E. G. Lacey, Pres. Dr. E. C. Bunch, Sec'y. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1917. NoRoomforRacePrejudice The march down Fifth Avenue on Saturday of 8,000 Negro men, women and children in "silent protest against acts of discrimination and oppression" should stir the conscience of all America. Pitiful wrongs and grave acts of injustice have been and are continued to be committed against the Negro and the oppression from which he suffers is a reflection upon the democracy of the United States. Prejudice and race hatred must be foreign to the people of the United States. The founders of the Republic fled to these shores because the ywere discriminated against in the lands of their nativity. They sought freedom and the right to develop, to labor and to worship in accordance with the dictates of their conscience. The great majority of the citizens of this country are either natives of foreign countries who have come here to escape intolerable conditions, or they are the descendants of such refugees. Evry sympathy must be expressed to Negroes who are persecuted, denied the opportunity of gaining an honest livelihood, lynched and driven hither and thither. The inscription on one of the banners carried in the parade read, "We are maligned as lazy, and murdered when we work? No more smashing indictment could have been uttered against a state of affairs which is disgraceful to the citizenship of America. Neither the country nor the Negro gains by oppression. The late Booker T. Washington in a memorable address delivered some years ago before the Conference of Liberal Religions in Philadelphia, exclaimed, "When America freed the Negro slaves, America freed herself." A people that persecutes is a people enslaved. A country in which prejudice finds a place is not emancipated and its growth is stunted. The way to improve the status of the Negro does not lie through lynching and expulsions, but through education and making him feel that he is regarded as a human being possessing all the rights that are accorded to men. But above all, every right-minded American to whom the fundamentals of the Republic are dear and who wishes to maintain the spirit of freedom that is the cornerstone of the fabric of the United States, must protest with might and main against the persecution to which the Negro is subjected. The life of the meanest among men must be held sacred beneath the Stars and Stripes. The Negro has given evidence of self-uplift and of bing capable of good citizenship. Let nothing be done that will drag him down to the level of the brute. Extend to him the hand of brotherhood, for all men are created free and equal. It is man's inhumanity against man which creates inequalities. The dignified and earnest protest of the ethousands of Negroes should strike home and cause every American to regard his fellow citizen of the black race with fairness and justice. Let there be an end to wrongdoing lest we stand accused before the Bar of Justice as a people unworthy of freedom. —New York Jewish Daily News, July 31. XIX The above is a splendid likeness of the most beautiful woman in Oklahoma—Mrs. L. L. Sawner of Chandler—who has the unique distinction of being the only lady principal in the state, being principal of the High School in her city and an instructor in the Summer Normal at Langston University. Mrs. Sawner stopped over en route to the Supreme Grand Lodge, K. of, to visit friends while her distinguished husband is attending the National Business League at Chattanooga and will join him in St. Louis. Judge Sawner is Oklahoma's most successful cotton dealer, his business last year aggregating $150,000.00. He is the Grand Representative to the Supreme Lodge while Mrs. Sawner is Grand Representative to the Supreme Court of Calanthe. She is Grand Secretary of the Eastern Star of Oklahoma and also the Grand Treasurer of Endowment of the Court of Calanthe of that state. While here she is the guest of Mrs. Jacobs, 1321 Woodland Avenue, recently of Oklahoma, and of Mrs. B. M. Weaver of the Weaver Floral Co., and is being royally entertained during her stay. CHAPLAIN PRIOLEAU WRITES. Schoffield Barracks H. T Mr. Nelson C. Crews: For two or three years I have been reading The Kansas City Sun; it has become a real companion and it is eagerly looked for each week. I have not as yet missed a copy. I do not know when my subscription expires but I do know that every renewal of one's subscription establishes the "Sun" more permanently as a Champion of truth and righteousness. I am enclosing money order for $1.50 for a renewal. My regards to "Betty & Sam" and say to them for me to keep on telling us "what they say." I have been recommended by my Commanding Officer and intermediate Commanders to be advanced to the grade of Major for exceptional efficiency to fill a vacancy. There are about 22 who are eligible and therefore I am not overly sanguine; but whether we get it or not I have the distinction of having been recommended for promotion and that means a great deal to me and the race. Fraternally, G. W. PRIOLEAU, Chaplain 25th Infantry. 44TH ANNUAL SESSION OF GRAND CHAPTER OF MISSOURI. The 44th annual session of M. E.

If the black man loafs in the South, he starves. If he works in the South, he is poorly paid, more or less in kind—chips and whet-stones—and his wife becomes a "pan toter." If he leaves his low estate in the South and goes to work in Northern industry, he is mobbed and killed. He was brought to these shores from Africa a captive. He is held by his captors in economic bondage today—forbidden to rise above the lowest serving class. He is herded by himself in a ghetto; and if, while he is there, he reverts to the jungle type, he is burned alive. If he tries to break out of his ghetto, and, by assimilating the white man's civilization, rise, he is driven out by his white brothers. If he goes to school he becomes discontented, and is unhappy and dissatisfied with his social status. If he does not go to school and remains ignorant, he is then only a "coon" whom everybody exploits, and who has to swindle and cheat in return, or go down in poverty to begging and shame. There are not ships enough in the world to take him back to the land of his freedom; there is not room enough here except on the crowded bottom round of the ladder, and there always the grinding heel of those climbing over him topward is mangling his black hands. Race riots, lynchings, political ostracism, social boycott, economic serfdom! No wonder he sings: "Hard trials, Great tribulations; Hard trials— I'm gwine to live with the Lord." No wonder he looks dismally back at the forest whence he came, and dismally forward to the hopeless sea into which he is slowly being pushed, he lifts his plaintiff voice in its heart-broken minor, and wails: "Swing low, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home." "Home" is about the only place he can go where they don't oppress him. SHRINERS MEET. The Nineteenth session of the Imperial Council of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine was the center of attraction in Detroit this week. Being attended in large numbers by the most prominent nobles in the United States. At the same time a large number of the Daughters of Isis met in annual convention.

Former Spouse of "Dr. Ackerman" Testifies at Coroner's Inquest. Toledo, O., Aug. 4.—For nine years Mrs. Sarah Ackerman Wise lived as the wife of "Dr. Samuel Ackerman" and did not know that "Dr. Ackerman" was a woman. Testifying at the inquest over the body of "Dr. Ackerman" this afternoon, Mrs. Wise, now the wife of a carpenter here and the mother of a fine boy of one year, said: "I married him in New York. I lived with him as his wife for nine years. I cannot yet believe it was a woman I married." A baby son in New York may have been a contributing cause of the suicide of "Dr. Ackerman." Fred Harms, city painter who worked with "Dr. Ackerman" when the latter for a time worked at the city filtration plant here, declared today he believed Ackerman had a son. "Sammy" carried a picture of the child constantly, Harms said. "He wrote letters to New York and sent money for the care of the child." WHAT NEXT? Colored Men Touch White Man's Mule —Lynched. Montgomery, Ala., July 26.—Two race men alleged to have brushed up against a mule owned by James Suggs, a white farmer, who was driving, and were lynched.

Church of this city, who has given to the Colored people of Greater Kansas City a recreation resort—Lincoln Park—worthy of the city and its name. his mule and the men are reported to have told Suggs that it was only accidental, but he need not get so mad about it. They cursed Suggs and told him they would give him as good as he could send. Suggs then told them he would kill them if they said another word. They said they had a right to talk as they, pleased. Then the white man is said to have organized a mob of white men, who later in the night found William and Jejsse Powell and hanged them to a tree. ANDERSON-TONEY WEDDING.

A SAD EVENT. One of the most tragic and shocking events ever experienced by this community was the death of Richard Lester Bryant on Thursday morning, August 9. Mr. Bryant was excavating an intake at the Electric Light Plant of the L. K. Green & Sons Co. when a slide of heavy clay inundated by the recent rains, fell upon him and buried him alive. His nephew, Howard Mills, was working with him at the time and barely escaped with his life. Anxious hands hurriedly dug out the lifeless remains of Mr. Bryant and a waiting physician announced the sad verdict, death of suffocation. Mr. Bryant was born and reared in Pleasant Hill and numbered his friends by his acquaintances. Ever upright, fair, square and honest in his dealings he was respected and loved by the entire community. He was married November 17, 1897, to Miss Nellie Snead who with six children, mother and father, five brothers and three sisters survive him. He became a member of the Second Baptist Church in 1901 and has faithfully served his Master and fellowmen as deacon and trustee of the same. The funeral services were conducted over his remains Sunday, August 12, under the auspices of Gipson Lodge, No. 256, U. B. F, Rev. A. H. Burbidge delivered the funeral oration the equal of which was seldom if ever heard in this city. Miss Ethel Crawford of Kansas City sang sweetly over the remains "He's the One." Among the out-of-town mourners who came to escue with the family and offer such consolidation and assistance as was possible were: Mrs. Mae Wood, Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Court of Calanthe, E. & W. Hemis; Mrs. Mamie Street, Mr. and Mrs. Acquilla Hill; Mr. and Mrs. Sam Speers, Miss Ethel Crawford and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bryant, Mr. Ed Snead and Mr. Charles Monroe of Kansas City, Mr. E. W.

Recent geological investigations tending to prove that the present site of Spo- kane, Wash., once was the center of @ vast Iake are corroborated by tra- ditions handed down by local Indian tribes, according to Maj. R. D. Gwydir, wt spent many years among the natlves of this section. The traditional story of the origin of the local tribe ‘was told to the major by Chief Whis- tel-posum of the lower Spokanes, us follows: 6 “Centurles ago; long before the pale- face Was known on the American con- tinent, the present site of Spokane, and the country for many days’ travel to the east was an Immense and beau- tiful lake. Numerous wooded islands Tose from its surface, abounding with game. The lake swarmed with fish. Many well-populated Indian villages lay around the shores of the lake, “One summer morning the inhabi- tants were startled by a rumbling and shaking of the earth. ‘The waters of the lake began rising aud pitching and soon the waves were running moun: tain high. ‘The flood threatened to engulf the entire country. To add te the terrors of the situation the sun was obscured by an eclipse and dark: ness enveloped the scene. The terror: stricken inhabitants fled to the hills for safety. . “The quaking of the earth continued for several days, and was followed by a rain of ashes so heavy that there was little difference between day and night. “This downpour continued for sev- eral weeks, The waters of the lake receded and dry land appeared where onée the waters roiled. “The remaining Indians died of star. vation “by the thousands. The rem: nant which escaped followed the course of the receding waters until they arrived at what now is Spokane Here they established their first vil: lage near what 1s now the intersec tion of Broadway and Post streets.” | The remnants of that tribe stil dwell in Spokane, and, though theit ancient home is now a part of the city’s park system, they are permitte¢ to live there in their tepees, unmo lested, m J ’ { f ; Kansas y | Famous Wheat | makes I A 4 r - : es ard, winter, ‘‘turke; d’’ is th ‘ld’s fl get wheat supreme, Given the,benefit of 1-H modern Wane coo} milling, this fine raw product becomes a super-fine is Ry food—I-H Flour—the aristocrat of every ‘te grocery, Try it 3 so 2 se ‘ \, Ismert-Hincke Milling Co. gee” y oo j Kansas City, U.S.A. { 4 bo eee aff Of Course, He Could.

"The royal lap of luxury, and fed on the fat of the land!" Seth Dockrill would state, with a complacent smack of the lips, gloating over a fond remi- placence. "Now, husks and hominy!" he would add, sorrowfully, but instantly would brighten up and add, with an expression of reverence and affection upon his furrowed face, "and Allie!" He designated Allie Bruce, his step-peace, orphaned, poor, unabandoned by friends, like himself. And then old Seth would expatriate upon the virtues of this paragon of all devoted, unseifish maidens, bravely, loyally steering the frail bark of destiny for both. This had happened: Uncle Seth, after years of roving, had returned to his native village, according to the local paper, fabulously rich. When this hint of opulence was slummed down to a practical basis its essence proved purely prospective. It appeared that Seth had bought a gold mine in Arizona with the earnings and savings of years. He had come East to secure financial co-operation in developing it. He had a few thousand dollars in liquid funds as a nucleus for future operations. There were three families in Benton to whom he was kin. They had forgotten him for years, they had ever re- W. C. H. "Oh, Uncle!" Cried Allie. ferred to him indifferently as the shiftless rover. Ah! how changed, or rather how affectedly changed, were their sentiments now that rumor had it that Uncle Seth was rolling in wealth. He was a reckless, whole-hearted soul and he heaped up gifts for his many pensioners. Each one, down to the babies, had some kind of a trinket set with one of the nuggets discovered in his mine, a small bagful of which he had brought East as samples. He was feasted, toasted, petted, each one of the three families vied with one another in outdoing in hospitality. Then came the disillusion. Seth had gone to the city and had interested capital. That is, a brokerage house had agreed to furnish machinery for the mine and build a connecting railroad link across it, provided investigation verified his representation. One fatal word closed this exploitation and shattered all of the hopes of the chrysalis Croesus. That word was "Salted." Seth had been "hocused." Some real nuggets scattered here and there among the carboniferous velas, and the mining sharks had impoverished guilleless, credulous old Uncle Seth. Soon the truth came out. Instead of warm roasts among his doting relatives, Seth began to receive cold shoulders. One by one his former time-serving friends began to edge away from him. Only one remained true. Allie, the slave of the place, where she was barely tolerated because she was a child of toll. "I've got a thousand dollars left," Seth told her, "and I've learned my lesson. I want to adopt you, Allie, and I'm good for years of work yet. We may not live very luxuriously, but we'll be happy, eh, little girl?" "Yes, surely that, dear Uncle," responded Allie, with her sunshine ways and tender smile. "I'm a famous house-keeper and I'll try to make you comfortable." Unceth Seth was brisk, original and tireless. He rented a neat little cottage with a patch of land around it and started in to raising medicinal herbs on contract for a city chemical house. The plants required extreme care, but the promised returns at the end of the season were large. One afternoon Allie, gazing down the road looking for the return of her uncle from the village, was startled and terrified to discover him hanging timp and helpless in the arms of a young man she had never seen before. She ran out to him, pale and trembling. "Oh! what has happened?" she palpitated; but her uncle, though wincing with pain and white as a sheet, tried to smile. "Just a broken leg, dear," he said, "I fell through the old bridge. It's lucky this young man was near, for I couldn't stir and was nigh to the point of fainting." "We must get him into the house and I will run for a doctor, if you will tell me where to find one," spoke the young man. His tones were clear, they had a ring of genuine sincerity and somewhat reassured Allie. It was hours later before Uncle Seth, advised by the doctor that weary months of idleness were before him and that he would never walk without a crutch again, had time to thank this stalwart young fellow who had performed prodigious though silent and undirected helpfulness during the disorder attending the accident. Intuitively, while the doctor was setting the injured leg, the young man seemed to guess out neglected work. He fed the horse, milked the cow, attended to the chickens, weeded the long rows of plants and then came into the kitchen and offered to help Allie prepare the evening meal—all of which she dilated on to her uncle. "Oh, Uncle, he is so thoughtful, so helpful—a regular miracle man. He looks at a task and it is done." "My mind is mightily relieved," her uncle told her the next morning. "This young man we kept all night seems just looking for a quiet home. He's bargained to stay with us until the fall crop is in." "I'm glad," said Alle, frankly. "I like his ways very much. Where does he come from, Uncle?" "Jail." "Oh, Uncle!" gasped Alle in a shocked way. "It's truth, child," declared Uncle Seth, gravely. "His name is Glen Fairchild, he bore the brunt of a thieving political crowd in the city, whose tool he was, and is just a week out of prison. He didn't sulk there, he says. He took his medicine and did the tasks expected of him and studied nights. Besides he's acquired a wonderful smattering of information—law, medicine, science. He's truthful and square as a die and he's learned his lesson in politics, just as I did in gold mines." "If Mr. Fairchild had been in jail all of his life I would trust him and like him." Allie told her uncle a month later. "Oh, he is so intelligent! He has got things working on a system that makes my head dizzy, and so kind and entertaining and true, Uncle, Oh! true blue all the way through." Glen Fairchild lingered at the pleasant little home long after the crop was in and had been delivered and paid for at a splendid profit. He had got interested in old Seth's story of his mine investment. "See here," he said one day, "give me a power of attorney and let me go out to Arizona and see if there isn't some saving clause in the muddle." "Oh, Uncle!" cried Allie, six weeks later, coming into his room, a fluttering telegram in her hand. "Read! read! No, I'm so excited I'll read it to you," and she did, as follows: "Wire quick. District gone copper crazy. Your claim rich with it. Am offered fifty thousand. Will you work it or sell it?" "Sell," went the vivid response over the wire an hour later. "The miracle man, indeed!" said Allie, and her eyes were fixed wistfully upon the landscape, as she realized how greatly she had missed Glen Fairchild during his absence. "Thank you, but I don't go junketing around much with my lame leg." Uncle Seth politely but pointedly observed to one of the old-time relatives who had heard of his new accession of fortune and had invited him to a family dinner. "Besides, Allie and I are engrossed just now over some wedding preparations down at our house. That will make a new relative, Glen Fairchild, and of course we feel like giving him special attention just now." Remarkable Mirage Seen at Dairen. Remarkable Mirage Seen at Daliren A mirage was witnessed at Daliren, formerly the Russian "dream city" of Dalny, on the Liaotung peninsula. The vision, appeared upon the side of the bay and was discovered by the purser of the Shanghai liner Sakaki Maru, while coming into port. Looking northward, he saw vast structures upon the side of the bay, where he knew no such buildings existed. A crowd assembled, and the vision was promptly declared to be a mirage—one of the most remarkable ever seen in the far East. It originally appeared to be three buildings, six stories high. This disappeared and then a whole city rose out of the waters of the bay—a great city with a tall church tower in the middle ground. The tiles upon the church roof were plainly discernible. At the right of the picture stone walls of a large roofless structure, blackened by a destructive fire, were visible. No such aerial images have been seen before at Daliren, and superstitious citizens are variously commenting thereon.—East and West News. Growth of British Debt During the year ending March 31, next, $8,260,000,000 will be added to the gross debt of the British government, according to an estimate by the London Statist. If this estimate proves accurate the gross debt will then stand at $27,530,000,000. Of this sum, however, $7,150,000,000 will represent loans to British allies and dominions leaving a net debt of $20,380,000,000. At the close of the fiscal year ending March 31, 1914, the debt totaled $3, 256,000,000, so that the war will have added $17,124,000,000 to the net debt if hostilities should continue until March 31, 1918 THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. AUGUST 18. 1917 WASHINGTON GOSSIP War Does Not Seem to Worry Washington People War Does Not Seem to Worry Washington People WASHINGTON.—We may be at war, but it really doesn't seem to be serious business. Everyone in Washington seems to be going along with no very serious thoughts about war, and about everybody is engaged in some sort of war work, writes a well-known news- war will ever get the truly horrible impression of war that the people of Europe have. War today seems to be a distant and foreign undertaking to most Washingtonians. The city is too far away from Europe to ever really realize that our men and boys are going to suffer horrible things. They can never bring many wounded back here to Washington, and they will probably never bring bodies back. There will never be a funeral cortege across the great bridge over the Potomac to Arlington, where other dead heroes of the nation are laid away. I have wondered since I have been here if America isn't going to suffer too much because she is too far away from the front line trenches to ever know what her men are actually undegoing. American women have given their sons, and it seems to be the duty of the government to take just the best care of these American boys. Perhaps they are doing it, but everyone I have talked to has talked only of guns and troops and shells, and none have said anything of souls or bodies or young lives. War is not in women's vocabulary. She suffers too much from war to be able to face it. But Washington is all war, everyone talks and eats war. It wears terribly on a woman. I am heartstick and weary of war talk and I am going back to a little house on the Schuylkill, in the shadow of the battlefields of old, and see if I can forget amid the peace of Valley Forge the horrors of the war across the seas. Presence of Cranks Worries Capital Officials BIG men and big offices the world over are pestered by cranks. It is in the nature of things. Washington has known this before. But the present situation surpasses anything yet known. The flood of cranks constitutes one been receiving an average of one nut a day—nuts who are "literally "crazy about the war." Of late this average has increased enough to worry the guardians of the capitol. In the last month about 84 cranks were seized by the police and sent to "the nut factory" for mental examination. Fifty-four were finally sent to the Government Hospital for the Insane. "Since April," said a Washington police officer recently, "every large city in the country has been getting complaints about men and women who have been unbalanced by the excitement of the war. But the situation is particularly acute in Washington because Washington is the official seat of war operations in the United States and because the president's life is endangered by some of the fanatics." When a crank becomes violently convinced that war is what Sherman said it was, he immediately steps on a train to Washington—if he can raise the money. Many of them come great distances to give President Wilson some "inside dope." They insist that their information is strictly confidential—so confidential, in fact, that the police let them keep their secrets behind the bars of an observation cell. Friendship of Early Manhood Remains Unbroken Friendship of Early Manhood Remains Unbroken WAY back in the nineties Ray Lyman Wilbur was a dignified senior in Lealand Stanford university, at the same time that Herbert C. Hoover, then a big sowky mining student was a junior. Both students were earning their silent partnership based upon absolute trust and confidence in each other. Clear down through all the years since the two students were graduated this partnership has continued, sometimes separated by half the distance around the earth. Letters were regular and often. When Doctor Wilbur was elected president of his old university, Leland Stanford, he called his partner, then away over in England, and had him elected to the board of directors. And so they ran the university. Now Herbert C. Hoover, food administrator of the United States, has reversed the case and called his old partner to his assistance. Doctor Wilbur is to head the food conservation department, while Hoover heads the food control department. Thus continues the friendship, never a question when the other calls, each ready to give up everything to go to the other, with not a thought of material gain for more than 30 years without a strain or friction. Just an Incident Common in All Large Cities Just an Incident Common in All Large Cities THERE were half a dozen ragged and very poor-looking little children on the sidewalk just in front of the exit of an open-air motion picture place. They had a fine chance to see free of all charge the wonders of a movie drama neat-looking policeman, as his blouse was open and he was chewing gum. But he was on the job. He saw the little ragged children, and, after threatening to "run 'em all in," he fanned at one of them with his stick, kicked at another and drove them off, as they will be driven off by everyone, probably, until the end of time. Like that dear little poor boy in the Dickens book, someone will always be asking them to move on. After performing this duty, Bluecoat No. stood at the open exit himself and was joined later by three chauffeurs and two large men who had nothing else to do. They took the places of the ragged children. Ten minutes later the chauffeurs had gone, and the loafers also, but Bluecoat was there all right, only he was eating peanuts and had gone inside the place. Perhaps it is too womanly, but it does seem to me that war is grave and serious business. No one in Washington seems to think that way. They take it as a matter of course. "Walt until the first casualty list comes in," an officer told me. He seemed to think that would wake the city up to the horrors of war, but I am beginning to doubt whether these men and women who are carrying on the war will ever get the truly horrible ima- Europe have.

Hoover got himself elected financial manager of all athletics, with a small salary for his work, and thus added to his small income. This was one time when contrasts did not draw to each other.

As a matter of fact, Albania is a network of mountain tribes under hereditary chieftains, each of whom is independent of the rest and of all the world, and they do not want any other form of institutions. Any general government they regard as a limitation of their immemorial freedom. They are natural fighters, and esteem no privilege higher than the privilege of warfare among themselves, tribe against tribe. They are of several faiths and churches—Moslem, Catholic, Orthodox Greek, Moslems with Christian customs and Christians with Moslem customs, and in some tribes, in the same family, the boys are brought up as Moslems and the girls as Christians. With these people religion is a mere incident. The main thing is to be let alone. Only in this disposition and in their language are they united. Yet these picturesque and free-spirited barbarians are the oldest, purest and probably the handsome representatives of our race. In lineage they are the Aryan aristocracy of Europe, Ardent tribesmen, most dignified shepherds, devoted mountaineers, they nevertheless wander over the earth; and many of them are engaged today in blacking boots in Boston, New York and Chicago. Individually capable of civilization and education, well endowed with brains, their native preference for the wild nationless life of their mountain home suggests a doubt whether they have not after all the right idea of life—whether the rest of us, in modifying the purity of the blood which these rude Skipetars have maintained so nobly, have not degenerated instead of risen, says the Boston Transcript. Why else, a curious mind might ask, should the Albanians placed in the most beautiful nook of Europe, facing the Adratic sea, poised between Rome and Constantinople and Athens, have remained illiterate barbarians through all the centuries, never Hellenized, never Latinized, while at the same time they preserved some of the noblest characteristics and virtues of the race? Isolated they have been, and very much civilized some of their members have become. But of progress they will have nothing Consolation. When one is filled with lils and groans, when one has cares and aching bones, when every scene presents to view but woes and bills far overdue, in short when all the world's a place of treffulness and sorry case, then what a solace one can find if he will only call to mind the words that someone used to say, "This too will only pass away!" They seem to have the proper ring, a heap of comfort they can bring and when the day is drab and drear they somehow seem to please the ear; when in a wretched circumstance they may not make you sing and dance, they may not fill you full of glee and make you joyful as can be, they may not seldom fail to please. So when you have no shirts to wear or when you're losing all your hair or when you're filled with aches and moans or when you can't collect from Jones, when you are weak with toothache's lils and when you cannot meet your bills, when all the weary world's askew and you, in short, are really blue, here is the little piece to say: "This too will soon pass away."—Illinois State Register. A Frequent Result "Ah, Mr. Howkins," said Brown to a wealthy merchant, "I believe a poor boy named Wilks took your assistance twenty years ago and you were very kind to him! You gave him food and sound advice, a suit of clothes and a half dollar, and dispatched him on his way rejoicing. He told you at the time that you never would regret your kindness. Am I right?" "Yes, you are," replied Mr. Howkins. "He said." Brown went on, "that if he prospered he would see that you never had occasion to regret your kindness to a poor struggling lad." "Gracious!" exclaimed Mr. Howkins, "It sounds like a fairy tale! Why, you must have seen him!" "I have," said Brown, "and he sent a message to you." "What is it?" Mr. Howkins asked expectantly. "He told me to tell you that he would like another half dollar," replied Brown. Another Extremist The business politicians were discussing the uplift. "How does Jones stand politically?" asked one. "Oh!" exclaimed the other. "He's impossible!" "How is he impossible?" "Why, the man's a howling radical; he's practically an anarchist." "I heard that he advocated the public ownership of public utilities, but I didn't understand that—" "Public ownership? He's daft about it. Why, the man even believes in the public ownership of legislatures!"—Baltimore Sun. Wonderfull "Smith is a remarkable man," said Brown. "What is so remarkable about him?" asked Jones. "Why, he can sing the whole of the 'Star-Spangled Banner' from memory," replied Brown.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Prospects Good. Creditor—I shall call upon you every week until this bill is paid?

Design and Coloring of Attractive Frock for Fall Wear Are Drawn From Modes of Far East. The continued oriental influence on dress is emphasized by the model here shown, which is Chinese in design and coloring. The underneath frock has a decidedly narrow skirt of plain black satin that suggests the loose trousers of the Oriental, while the overdress, made of navy serge embroidered in rich colorings, simulates the mandarin coat. The present season tendency to favor a rather high waistline is expressed in the belting of the front of the overdress. The back section hangs in a straight panel effect, drawn in only slightly at the waist, but unbelted. This combination of fabrics is the favorite for early fail. Though the model shown in the sketch is youthful, it is not too girlish to be worn by a mature woman of slender, graceful figure. The satin part of the garment is in reality a perfectly plain princess frock, and if it is desired this may be worn entirely separate and apart from the overdress, a touch of distinction being given by the use of white lace or embroidery collar and cuffs. To make this dress, the skirt of which should not measure more than two yards in width, four and a half yards of satin 36 inches wide and three yards of serge the same width will be required. The frock may, of course, be made up in any preferred combination of fabrics. Serge and satin are suggested as the most popular fabric blending. Heavy wool embroidery is being considerably featured as a trimming, and it is really very effective, especially on wool fabrics. The use of beads is somewhat discouraged by the high prices. The prices of beads in steel, glass Is Very Useful Article and Makes a Pretty Addition to Any Room Where It May Be Placed. It is not difficult to drape an ordinary small clotheshorse, and in that way make a very pretty and inexpensive little screen. The one shown in the sketch is prepared in the way mentioned, but it is A Useful Screen of a very novel nature. The sides of the clotheshorsse are placed at right angles, and then two pieces of board are fastened upon the center bars with screws, and form a shelf. This shelf is covered with pale green silk and finished off in front at the edge with braid and brass-headed nails of a fancy pattern driven in close together. The back of the screen is draped with pale green silk arranged in narrow plaits, and finished above the top and below the lower bars of the clotheshorse with tiny frills. The upright portions of the woodwork are painted dark green, and each piece is ornamented at the top with a small brass ball. In the center of each of the upper bars a brass-headed nail is driven and upon these nails small pictures can be hung, as shown. This little article makes a pretty addition to any room, and it is very useful for holding the afternoon tea things, or it can be placed in a corner and some pretty ornamental china arranged upon it. NOTHING HAS ESCAPED IT Even Crepe De Chine Underwear Shows Wool Embroidery Is Being Used for Trimming. "I have just seen some of the prettiest things imaginable in underclothes," announced The Girl Who Sews, as she came in from a shopping trip, according to the Christian Science Monitor. "No, I did not buy any," she continued, "but I looked at them in the shop windows. Do you know, they are actually using wool embroidery on the crepe de chine combinations and other things? I saw one envelope chemise in white crepe de chine, with all the edges bordered by rows of darning stitch in yellow wool, and all around the bottom, at intervals, a row of marigolds, embroidered in yellow worsed with black or dark brown centers. "Then there was another envelope chemise of pale pink crepe de chine which was bound all around with narrow bands of pale blue crepe fagoted on. Still another had inch-wide bands made of pink and blue crepe in one-inch squares which were fagoted together. Such a combination of col- 1 Fall Frock of Chinese Design. and chalk, which are the principal varieties, have advanced from 100 to 400 per cent. An aggressive trimming manufacturer has recently placed on the market an array of wooden beads in various sizes and colorings, and these promise now to have quite a vogue. ors as there is this year in the underwear, as well as in the outside things. Pink has been popular for some time; now pale blue is following it into favor. A blue crepe de chine combination was edged about with narrow bands of yellow fagoted on. "I noticed a number that were finished off with narrow hems, and these were buttonholed over with rather heavy silk of a contrasting shade. It made me think of the blankets in my grandmother's house, for they were finished off in that same way. I remember that I had to do that stitch when I was little, and I learned to sew by making patchwork quilts and other things for my dolls and their belongings." Jabots to Be Worn. It would be bootless to try to predict the cut and style of the suits that will be most in favor in the coming autumn, but one thing is certain concerning street attire, and that is that the smartly dressed women of the autumn will wear jabot and collar combinations with the tailored suit. Large mesh fillet lace will be extremely good and there will be nothing "dinky" about the smart jabots. Simplicity is the keynote, and it is a mistake to attempt to use up odds and ends of lace and embroidery. For a Laundry Bag. To make a laundry bag take a square of cretonne as large as the width of the cloth, line with a contrasting shade of cambric and sew a small brass ring to each of the four corners. The four rings are hung on the closet hook, making a bag with four openings to receive the soiled linen. To empty just take down a ring and out the clothes drop. TAM-O'-SHANTER CROWN M. This bonnet has taken a lead on most of the fall fashions in that it merges the seasons of autumn and winter. It is a stunning little creation and somehow or other suggests the tam-o-f-shanter worn by the Chasseurs d'Alpines, France "blue devil." The hat is of midnight blue velvet with a tam-o-f-shanter crown. For decoration it is trimmed with rosette of pink roses and purple grapes. WHY WE FIGHT GERMANY IN PLAIN WORDS Dean Shailer Mathews of Chicago University shows how the Kaiser and his militarist gang pounced on democratic world like a wolf pack. Besides being an author, editor, clergyman, and educator, Doctor Mathews is a member of the National Security league's committee organized to spread throughout the United States information on the causes of our war with Germany. The committee was formed because of a prevalent belief that many Americans were unfamiliar with the extent of our grievances and the reasons why war could not be avoided. Doctor Mathews is known as a student of international politics. In 1915 he and Dr. S. L. Gulick went to Japan as representatives of the churches of the United States. (From New York Times Magazine.) AMERICA needs to be told why it is at war, its ignorance is to its credit. A nation that has tried to live like a gentleman among nations has naturally found it difficult to believe that all nations are not moved by respect for the customs and the laws which codify gentlemanly relations between nations. We have at times overpraised our virtues and purposes, and in consequence for the last generation we have listened with a rather amused tolerance to successive proclamations of the kaiser and the laudation of Germany by subsidized mouthpieces. After war broke out in 1914 for two years we struggled to treat Germany and its agents as we expected other nations to treat ourselves. Our attitude might have characterized the Good Samaritan if he had come upon the robbers holding up the traveler, and schooled himself to believe that the whole affair was exaggerated. We simply could not realize the German attitude of mind. Accustomed as many of us had been to interpret the finer ideal life of Germany, we could not believe that men like Eucken, Harnack, Herrmann, and Diessmann could freely and without reserve lend themselves to the defense of that which was unworthy of their words as we had understood them. Against our will we have been disillusioned. We have not gone into war, we have had war thrust upon us. A chain of circumstances over which we have had no control has brought is built from the Baltic to the Persian gulf. Great Britain was maligned and threatened with destruction. South America was in part colonized by Germans, and the Monroe doctrine was repeatedly threatened. The highest authorities in Japan have repeatedly said that German intrigues were endeavoring to bring about misunderstanding, if not war, between Japan and the United States. As far back as 1003 representative Germans frankly said that Germany would have to fight America because it was Germany's commercial rival. In Samoa and the Philippines German interference twice at least brought to the verge of war. Had it not been for Great Britain, which has always recognized American policy in the Western Hemisphere and submitted disputes to arbitration, German arrogance and ambition would have years ago brought on the crisis. With the commercial expansion of European nations, the United States has no quarrel. If, however, such expansion is based, guarded, and enforced by the threat of war, the United States can see the machinations of men who are disirous of expansion at the expense of the rights of other nations. Since the outbreak of the European war, the ruthlessness of this German hostility to other nations, and particularly to those that have regard for international law and really representative government, is apparent. We have seen treaties disregarded whenever they stood in the way of German militaristic plans. We have seen conquered states treated with a brutality worthy of Assyria. We have seen a policy of terrorism applied systematically in the abuse of prisoners, the massacring and deportation of civilian populations, the indescribable abuse of women and children, the destruction of noblest works of art, the devastation of abandoned regions, the wholesale execution of Poles, Bohemians, and Serbians; the incitement of Mohammedans to a holy war, and the permission of an attempted extermination of the Christian people of Armenia. We have seen hospital ships sunk, unfortified towns bombed and bombarded. We have seen a medal struck in honor of the sinking of the Lusitania. Up to the date in which we finally recognized that Germany was waging war upon us we had seen 226 American citizens, among them many women and children, killed by German submarines. Altogether, on the first of April, 1917, we DRIED EGGS TO U. S. FROM CHINA Imports of eggs products this year have amounted to about 10,000,000 pounds, valued on the average at about 15 cents a pound. These products are imported chiefly from Japan and China and include eggs that have been dried, frozen or powdered. They are used in this country principally by bakers in the manufacture of various kinds of pastry. The consumption of Asiatic egg products in this country has greatly increased in recent years, and therefore the conditions under which they are prepared become of greater interest to the public. The operation of a model plant at Shanghai is described as follows: "The eggs are received at the door of the factory in baskets containing approximately 1,000 eggs, and as the factory offers better prices for choice eggs it is securing the highest class of egg produced within a circle of probably a 100-mile radius. The eggs are brought into the examining room, where the contents of the baskets are gone over and all cracked or otherwise damaged eggs are separated. The eggs are then candled by Chinese, who pass them before the candling lamps at the rate of 500 an hour. The handling rooms are kept in a temperature not exceeding 56 degrees Fahrenheit, the range of temperature in the building, used both for freezing and for drying eggs, being from zero to upward of 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the freezing and drying rooms, respectively. "From the candling rooms the fresh eggs with unbroken shells are taken to the breaking room, which in point of sanitary appliances and attention to details of personal hygiene scarcely is surpassed by the operating room of a hospital. In fact, the general effect of the room, aside from its low temperature, is that of a well-ordered hospital, but with ten white-capped and aproned nurses where the ordinary hospital would have but one. The factory now employs 100 girls, each of whom is expected to break and separate from 1.500 (From New York Times Magazine.) II home to the Americans, anxious to maintain their faith in Germany, the conviction that America's sovereignty was being outraged, its people killed, its inner peace deliberately attacked, and its institutions, founded in sacrifice and offered to the world, not only despised but in danger of destruction. Germany has forced America, as it has forced almost the entire world, to defend itself by arms. Nobody but those suffering from myopic idealism sympathies can see anything else. Some of us have suffered when the scales have fallen—cut away by facts. At last we see clearly. We have not been drawn into the war by capitalism, or by commercialism, or by national policy. For months we have been living in a state of war, deliberately planned by a nation whose leaders for ten years have been preparing some day to fight America and who have counted our good nature as cowardice, our unpreparedness as a lack of national self-respect. Here are the facts: We are fighting this war, in the first place, because Germany made war upon us. For years she has sought to build up in America a community more loyal to herself than to the United States. Money has been lavishly spent in Germanistie societies, alliances, and associations to win the admiration and loyalty of American citizens. Our universities have been flattered, our professors have been honored for this reason. Praise of the kaiser has been inserted even in the spelling books of our public school system. Spies have been everywhere. When the war came in 1914 German officials, many of them in high diplomatic positions, treated the United States, a neutral nation, as if it were an enemy. Pro-German publications were founded and subsidized, strikes were organized, manufacturing plants were blown up, plots against nations with whom we had treaty relations were formed within our borders, bombs were placed on ships in our ports. Hatred of America was systematically disseminated through Germany and efforts were made to involve us in trouble with Japan and Mexico. In reply to our repeated protests against these and other acts of Germany, to be mentioned presently, we have received promises and explanations which were little less than insults. The treaty that had existed almost the entire life of the American republic was set at naught and efforts were made to coerce us into favorable modifications of its terms. The right of trade with belligerents, which Germany had always claimed, even to the benefit of our enemy in the war with Spain, and which at Germany's own insistence is universally recognized in international law, was treated as the violation of our neutrality and alliance with her enemies. And, finally, the proclamation of unrestricted destruction of neutral ships upon the high seas was a notification to the United States that it was no longer a sovereign people, but that if it would sail the seas in safety it must conform to conditions set by a power that defied international law, humanity, and elemental morality. In the second place we are defending ourselves against Germany because the German state has entered upon a program which means the destruction of democratic institutions. The Prussianization of Germany means that the policy of Prussia to carry on economic and political expansion by war is to be extended throughout the entire world. We recognize that there were once, and we dare believe even now that there are, two Germanys, one liberal and the other an autocracy based on militarism. The struggle between these two forces since 1815 has been a steady subjugation of liberalism in Prussia and the other German states to the will of a Prussian feudal nobility. Representative and responsible government in any true sense of the word has been fought by Prussian leaders relentlessly. Education has been made a creature of autocracy and a source of international hatred. The same fate has met every land Prussianism has touched. Austria was beaten into submission in 1806, and all the other German states were made practically subject to the will of the Hohenzollerns between that date and 1870. France was robbed and humiliated. The Balkan states were kept in perennial war in the interests of German expansion. Bohemia and Poland have been treated with the same disregard of popular rights as has been Alsace-Lorraine. Turkey became a vassal of the kaiser. A great militaristic, ant-democratic state like, southern Germany, subservient to Prussia, has been started and all but GERMANY OS DEAN SHALLER MATHEWS --- THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1917. had seen no fewer than 668 neutral ships sunk by submarine warfare. We saw Germany precipitating this world war, in which she has used poison and fire, as a part of her official policy at a moment when in the opinion of her leaders she judged the rest of the world to be unready to defend itself against an attack for which Germany had been preparing for 40 years. The plain catalogue of facts makes it plain why America is fighting to defend itself and democracy. We have entered the war primarily in self-defense. To have done anything less would have been to surrender our sovereignty and to have waited passively until the German program had been so far carried out and the truly modern nations of Europe so weakened that we in our unpreparedness would have been forced to fight a rapacious, conscienceless military autocracy, whose ends in war are avowedly indemnities, aggrandizement, and the control of the world. Our alignment inevitably was with and for democracy. An epoch of civilization hangs in the balance. Not to have co-operated with a world that is endeavoring to protect itself and its future from Germany with its militaristic autocracy, its terrorism, and its disregard of international law, that noblest product of civilization, would have been a bid for suicide. We do not fight for aggrandizement, or indemnity, or the forcible imposition of our institutions upon any country; we fight for self-protection. We do not fight to further British ambitions or French schemes of colonization. We are fighting for the institutions which with varying degrees have spread from America all over the world except Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria. Our success will make it possible, we believe, not only for our children and our children's children to enjoy peace, but for German liberalism to master the forces which for nearly a century have been its oppressor. The American Revolution preserved in America and in England the liberty that goes with independence. Our Civil war assured the future of democratic institutions in our united nation. The present war is not born of our independence, but of our interdependence among those nations who have dedicated themselves to the task of seeing that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth. to 20,000 eggs a day of 12 hours. Owing to the factory paying higher wages than other similar plants and working only six days a week instead of seven, which is the rule of the cotton mills and silk filaments of Shanghai, it can pick and choose in its labor, so that the type of girl employed in the egg-breaking room is far above the standard of any other Chinese factory, and a composite picture of them all probably would come nearer the Chinese idea of feminine beauty than any other 100 girls that can be found in Shanghai. As the workers enter in the morning they are dressed in freshly sterilized clothing furnished by the factory, and after their nails are manicured they are allowed to proceed to the workroom. The breaking room is solid concrete and is sterilized each day as carefully as the operating room of a hospital. The girls are seated on metal stools at low zinc tables. Before each of them is a curious appliance which mechanically separates the white of the egg from the yolk. The girl takes an egg from the can, into which they have been counted by the candlers, and with the right hand cracks it on the bar of the separating machine. The breaking is then finished by a dexterous movement of the fingers, which permits the egg to drop into a shallow cup, where the yolk is caught and the white allowed to drain off the sides. The drying room is described as embodying all the latest features in the sanitary handling of this product. The air used in the drying process is filtered, being forced through the drying apparatus under heavy steam pressure. The egg yolks or whites come out of the dryer in flakes, which are allowed to cool to a temperature slightly above the freezing point. Then the product goes to the packing room, where it is placed in boxes lined with waxed paper, which are stencled and made ready for shipment. For the freezing of eggs the separation and straining are carried out just as for the manufacture of dry yolks, only after the straining the large cans are taken to the freezing chambers. Here the temperature is kept close to zero, Fahrenheit, and the separate whites and yolks are poured into cans standing on racks that line the walls of the freezing chamber. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1817, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 19 FINDING THE BOOK OF THE LAW. LESSON TEXT-II Chronicles 24:14-33. GOLDEN TEXT-I will not forget thy word.—Fsa. 119:18. I. The Book of the Law Found (vv. 14-17). 1. I. The occasion (v. 14). It was found while the work of repairing the temple was going on. At what part in the temple we do not know; perhaps in the treasure house, for it was found while bringing out the money to pay for the reinsals. Perhaps this was in or near the ark, for the law was usually kept in or by the ark. 2. By whom (v. 14). Hilkiah, the high priest, was the finder. It is strange that the high priest was ignorant of the place where the law was found. It is a sad comment upon the moral and spiritual condition of priests and kings, since they were appointed guardians of God's law. It is, however, always true that when one does not want to have his life ordered by the Bible he will put it out of his sight. The disappearance of the Bible from our homes, and the neglect of it in our study, is a certain sign of evil in our lives. Be assured, however, that though the law of the Lord be removed from our sight it shall sooner or later come before us to judge us. God has declared that his Word shall not return unfo him void, but shall accomplish that whereunto it hath been sent. 3. Its disposition (v. 16). Hilkiah gave the law to Shaphan the scribe, who delivered it to the king along with his report as to the disposition of the money which had been collected. II. The Book of the Law Read (vv. 18, 29, 30). This was a most impressive scene, the king listening to the reading of the law of God. It was the proper thing to do, for those appointed by God to rule over the people should be anxious to know the will of God concerning them. The plious king, believing in it as God's Word, was anxious to know God's thought concerning the nation. His interest became intense, as he was made conscious of the apostasy of his people from God's law. His chief anxiety was to know what was God's purpose as to the nation in view of their idolatry. It is a sensible thing to make oneself intelligent as to his responsibilities, even to know what judgments shall befall those who have turned from God. One should know the worst while there is time yet to escape his wrath; for repentance is the only door of escape from perdition. 2. To the people (vv. 29, 30). At the direction of the king the priests, elders and all the people were called together to hear God's Word read. This was as it ever should be. People have a right to hear what God has, to say to them as well as the king. To keep the people ignorant of the Word of the Lord is a great crime. The crying need of the age, with all its boasted knowledge, fine church equipment and cultured ministry, is for the Word of God to be brought to the ears of the people. 111. The Effect of the Reading of the Law. (vv. 20-28; 31-33). When God's Word is intelligently read and understood there is bound to be an impression made. 1. The king rent his clothes (v. 19). The man who will honestly listen to the reading of God's Word will be brought to his knees, for he will be convicted of sin, and will take the place of self-abasement before the Lord. The king first saw his own sins and confessed them. It is a good sign when one sees his own shortcomings and failures, and not primarily those of others. 2. The king made inquiry of the Lord through Huldah the prophetess (vv. 22-28). His supreme motive in this inquiry was to find out whether there was some way to avert the awful judgments which were impending, as set forth in the Word of God. After all, the human heart instinctively turns from threatened woe to inquire whether there is not a way of escape. Alongside of the flaming, thundering Sinai was placed the Levitical system of offerings. Law and grace are not far removed. The law becomes our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Through Huldah the message came that God had taken account of all their sins and that judgment must fall, but Josiah would be spared the sight of all God's visitation of wrath. The penitence of the king turned aside God's wrath from himself, but the nation would be obliged to suffer for its awful abstasy. 3. The king made a covenant (vv. 31, 32). This was to the effect that he would walk in the commandments of the Lord. He also made the people stand to this covenant. He no doubt acted from the sincerity of his heart. 4. Further reforms (v. 33). Josiah now reached out as far as the national boundaries, took away their abominations and made Israel to serve the Lord their God. The fact that the book of the law was found implies that it had been lost. The way it had been lost is not definitely set forth, but numerous ways may be suggested. The Bible is a lost book to many professing Christians today, maybe through lack of interest in it, willful neglect or neglect through the stress of life's business and pleasures. May we not each one inquire as to whether our Bibles are lost? What Well Dressed Women Will Wear Here is a new, separate skirt for fall which shows no very radical departure from the styles in skirts that prevail now. It would be difficult to improve upon the simple, well adjusted skirt of today, with their good hugs and interesting vaguaries in pockets and belts. The material in the skirt pictured is a novelty, with moderately wide stripes in a darker shade of the color in the skirt, set far apart on a cross-bar surface. The belt and flat pockets are cut in one piece and stitched to the skirt. ```markdown ``` THE WEEKLY PRESS THE WEEKLY PRESS SIMPLE. WELL-ADJUSTED SKIRTS. Slits provide the openings for the pockets, but their practical use is open to debate. They are capacious, however, and might carry a handkerchief or coin purse without spoiling the line of the skirt. The belt is shaped to fit the figure, and this is the characteristic of belts in general. They are not mere bands about the waist, but are so cut and placed as to give a graceful definition of the waistline. The business of supporting the skirt is not theirs, but is taken care of by a webbing belt on the under side, which fastens with hooks and eyes. A single large bone button at the front of the cloth belt looks more than equal to its responsi- GREAT STOCK FOR SHORT WEEKS A Copyright Charles W.

The new skirts are cut about six or eight inches above the ground and finished with three-inch hems. Beautiful tailoring is required in them, and is their chief charm. A grateful humanity betakes itself to the water in the burning days of August, and thereby makes life bearable. And the feminine half of it goes clad in better looking garments than ever before within the memory of man.

Now that everybody swims or takes part in water sports, beach clothes have become as important as any other part of the wardrobe. It is the bathing suit that applies the acid test to the comely woman's attractions. The newest arrival is an inspiration of the chimise dress. It is made of taffeta and worn over short bloomers. It has a sailor collar and two small pockets on the body and the straight line of the skirt portion is broken with larger pockets at each side. I Chain-stitching has the effect of embroidery on collar and pockets. A cap to match adds to the distinction of this modish water-dress. It is of white rubberized satin. A band of black taffeta converts it into a small, roomy turban with coronet cut in scallops at the top. The girdle is made of the silk at the top and slips through a silk-covered buckle at the front. The second suit is much less simple, but a delight to the girl with a Venus de Milo figure, which it will set off to the best advantage. It has a bodice and short skirt, gathered to give trim waisttails. Bands of white rubberized satin are stitched to this rubberized satin are terminating in a SEAHORSE small white button at the front. The collar is of the same satin. Short puffed sleeves are gathered with five rows of shirring, finished with a narrow ruffle about the arm. The smart cap is made of the satin and the upstanding satin ends at the front are probably wired. White cloth sleeves, faced with black, and black silk stockings, striped with white, bring this suit to a charming end. Although so many of the season's models are made of silk, the virtues of mohair for water sports should not be lost sight of.

Seventy Thousand Dollars Is Price Paid for Historic Hostelry—Will Be Turned Over to New Owners on January 1—One of the City's Greatest Necessities Filled by the Deal.

When properly equipped for the purpos e, with the buildings erected in several other cities for the colored Y. M. C. A., some of these bosting from $150,000 to $200,000. 1 SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH.

All Duncan House For Use Seventy Thousand Dollars Over to New Owner This property will be used as a Y. pose. It will compare favorably with the costing from $150,000 to $200,000. The Duncan hotel has been purchased by the board of directors of the Nashville Young Men's Christian association for the colored men's branch, Y. M. C. A. The price for the building was $70,000. Thus what has long been considered one of Nashville's greatest needs—a modern association building for the conservation, physical and social salvation of the young negro men and boys of the city—will be renified. The Duncan is to be turned over to its new owners on January 1. In securing this property for the negroes Nashville has taken her place along with other cities throughout the country, as a widespread interest in the welfare of colored men and boys has resulted in providing for Young Men's Christian association buildings in many cities. Some of these are Atlanta, Baltimore, Kansas City, Chennai, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and New York. The local colored branch has done its work for the past five years under the supervision of the Nashville Y. M. C. A., and the board of directors of the Nashville association has been fully advised at all times as to the progress of the work by the Nashville colored men. In none of the cities named is there a better spirit manified on the part of its colored people than in this city, and as an indication of the seriousness and earnestness of the local colored men, the modern building of this kind for their race it will be recalled that when the Nashville colored men held their campaign some months ago, three of the local colored men gave each $1,000 in cash and another $300. This record has not been equaled in any of the cities where they have been conducted for the colored men.

A. building for the negroes of Nashville buildings erected in several other cities for cational lines here are considered the equal, if not a higher, type of citizenry than in perhaps any other city of its size. They may be counted on to do their full duty towards helping themselves, and the colored people propose to raise sufficient money among themselves to make possible the remodeling of the Duncan hotel property in order to meet the requirements of the Y. M. C. A. service. The board of directors of the Nashville association will have direct supervision over the colored men's branch, which will be operated on such a business basis as will insure the minimum of expense with the maximum of revenue consistent with its service and mission. Receipts from membership fees room rents, etc., must be supplemented by a modest annual subscription budget. It is planned to ask the citizens of Nashville during the month of February to provide the money which will be necessary to pay for the Duncan property, and with the additional sum which the cofeded people themselves will contribute, it is hoped to claim the conditional gift of $25,000 which Julius Rosenwald, a Hebrew philanthropist of Chicago, has offered to give to Nashville. Nashville Negroes Are Asset to City. That the negroes are an asset to Nashville is generally admitted by those who have kept up with the progress of that race. An evidence of that fact is shown when it is realized that: 1. Nashville is the center of educational and religious influence among the negroes of the south. 2. Five leading negro institutions of learning are located in Nashville. These schools have a teaching force of 152. They are the largest medical colleges and year. 3. The largest negro medical college in the world is in Nashville. The largest arts college for negroes in the world is in Nashville. 4. Two negro publishing houses in Nashville own property valued at $300,000. These publishing houses employ regularly the workmen. They send literature to 2,000 black men. These are but small arguments that denote that it is worth while to encourage the negroes in their efforts to make better and more useful citizens in the community. On the other hand, it may be clearly shown that the negroes are also a babblity, as indicated below. there were 1,539 male arrests among the negroes in Nashville, nearly 17 per day. 3. There is not a public place in Nashville that can secure an apartment, a bed or a wholesome meal with desirable surroundings. 4. There are 35,000 negroes in Nashville. The negroes in Nashville tend to tensions more dense with safeguards much fewer than those of the white young man. 5. These conditions vitally affect the white young man's face, and must not be permitted to continue. In providing this building for the colored men and boys it is proposed to contribute to the solution of the problem of housing, health, education, moral influence and religious training of the members of that race. The program of service is here indicated; 1. Housing. Sleeping accommodations will be provided for negro young men away from home in keeping with the ap- All services were well attended Sunday.

These rooms will (a) supplement the present school dormitories which are inadequate and entirely unsatisfactory; (b) provide a place for colored boys and young men coming to the city, with safe, moral conditions; (c) furnish accommodations for transient negro young men such as are now absolutely lacking. 2. Health. The fact of physical deterioration of the negro amid urban conditions is coming to be pretty generally known. Recent developments in Nashville prove beyond question the closeness of the relation between the physical condition of our negroes and the health of our white population. A Y. M. C. A. gymnasium with baths, gymnasium and a program of physical development and sex education will make large contributions to this problem. 3. Education.
