Schools Open Tuesday, Sept. 4 The Kansas City Sun VOLUME X. NUMBER 1. No Graft or Grafters Shall be Tolerated in the National Council of Colored Workers. WE SHALL BE ABLE TO NOT ONLY GET THE EAR OF THIS GOVERNMENT, BUT THE CIVILIZED GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD WILL RECOGNIZE OUR STRUGGLE FOR UN-HAMPERED CITIZENSHIP. The Fees and Dues shall be so small No One Need Not Hold Back on the Account of Them. By Rucker Smith. Most every member of the race considers that he knows the only way to better our condition, and usually so conceited about his knowledge, will except no other theory, no matter how wise the suggestion may be. In talking to men of our race, they invariably agree that we need a working class organization, but have no hopes of seeing one formed, nor do they care to help, usually offering the old worn out excuse, we won't stick together; we cannot stick together until we get together. I find that the working people of our race, hold some very wise, even brilliant ideas concerning their own development, then by far surpass our leaders, who are so far removed from actual contact with industrial troubles to know how to solve our A. E. many problems. We cannot do any thing by just hating the "old poor peck" as many call the working class white man, we must do as they have organized. It is true that the working class white man is very bitter towards us (all except the Socialists, they understand our problems) but he does not stop at that, he has formed organizations to fight us with, and in the last 30 years, they have pushed us back so far we are now in a very sad plight—All because they have taken the advantage of the present day methods of organization. Before they became so well organized, we could hold our own; they too, used to satisfy themselves by simply abusing, we laughed at them, because we thought the wealthy whiteman was on our side, and, being taught that wealth is superior to labor, which is not true, labor comes first, there can be no wealth until the hand of labor I repeat, being taught that wealth was superior, we failed to organize to protect our interest against the enemy. We invite the working men, and women too, of every honest and respectable vocation to join us. The World war is bringing many new problems to the front that we will have to face, they are working class problems too. The Council shall meet once each month after organization is perfected, the dues shall be small and the hour of meeting will be convenient for working people, Sunday afternoon. Come out labor day to 1307 E. 18th St. and hear our plans. Mr. W. M. Bonner is coming from St. Paul, Minn., to act as chairman, Mr. J. M. Still, a wide awake working man of Independence, Mo., will favor us with a good talk on the necessity of organization, also the editor, Mr. Crews has promised to be present, and I know that he will have something to say of interest to the race. Here is the time to show your racial pride. Come out if you have to make a sacrifice to do so. LINCOLN, NEBR. By W. W. Mosley. A. B. Mosley returned from a visit to Atchison, Kas.

LABOR DAY Roscoe C We'll drink to the mans No, no, Brave Soldier, I know your deeds of And you get it in so Great monuments are That will last the past In private home and Your name is honore LABOR DAY TOAST. Roscoe C. Jamison. We'll drink to the men who wear the blue— No, no, Brave Soldier, not to you: I know your deeds deserve our praise, And you get it in so many ways. Great monuments are built to you That will last the passing centuries through; In private home and public hall Your name is honored there by all! They whom I toast may never have broke Through blinding clouds of battle smoke, May never have heard the awful guns, Nor seen the crimson tide that runs; May never have stood for a single day Waiting the word to front the fray. Yet well know I that one and all Have heard and heeded Duty's call, Making to blossom as a rose The country you protect from foes. In mines they dig the coal and ore; They sweat before the furnace door. In every hour the weekdays bring We hear their busy hammers ring On buildings, raising iron beams, Plowing, and driving wagon teams. In the mills and on the trains, Wherever are needed brawn and brains, These heroes go working away From early morn till close of day. And some go forth on the verge of night To labor till the morning light. Yet be their hours short or long, We oft may hear the low hummed song. So here's to the brave, the strong, the free, The dauntless Knights of Industry, Without whom any nation falls, Without whom civilization crawls, For whom progress ever calls, The men who wear the overalls!

Kansas City, Mo., is a frank and honest discussion of the sex of the Bible. It shows that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of Spirit, and that the evil of the human race is within the sex. Its purpose is to show the awful destructive force of the sin of lust. The Author presents the Biblical contention that the insane asylums, jails and hospitals of the world are filled as the result of lust. The Bible is his authority and he has made out his case. This book should be in the hands of every Sunday School teacher, minister and father and mother in this land. It is sold only to adults. Price $2.00.

At the sixteenth annual convention of the American Federation of Catholic Societies at the Muehlemach Hotel, this city, August 26 to 29 inclusive under the auspices of the Roman Catholic church, the Negro Contingent was quite small in that there were but three representatives present but succeeded in having adopted the following resolution affecting the Negro: FAIR PLAY AND JUSTICE TO NEGROES. RESOLVED, That the American Federation of Catholic Societies deeply and painfully impressed by recent outbreaks of mob violence and lynchings against our negro population deplores the existence of racial hatred in our midst and commends to the authorities and people of the United States a humane and just and sympathetic consideration of the needs and conditions of the colored people and in their behalf demands such governmental action as will secure their natural rights and constitutional guarantees. This resolution was intrusted to the care of Bishop Joseph Schrembs of Toledo, Ohio, by Captain L. C. Valle, Chief of the Colored Roman Catholic Bureau, Chicago, Ill. It was Bishop Schrembs who endorsed the Colored Roman Catholic Bureau as well as the The M. & O. Hall has been newly papered and painted for the fall opening of the Cosmos Club, Friday, Sept. 7th.

But the features carrying off the prizes were the violin solo by Master William Carper of Kansas City, Mo., and the vocal solo by little Catherine Montgomery of this city. This program pleased the large congregation and is only a promise of finer things to come...Mrs. Cary of Utica, who has been called to the ministerial work assisted Rev. Ward at the A. M. E. church last Sunday. Figuratively speaking, the various claims to be raised before the meeting of the next annual conference have blown our pastor's hat over a fence high and difficult to climb. Yet, the result of last Sunday's rally, the entertainment being planned, and the untiring work of the faithful few are encouraging. And we believe that the majority of the members and friends of the church will be so touched at their sincerity that they will help them climb the fence and get the hat for Rev. Ward in due time. His success here as a pastor is a credit to the man and the people whose faiths and sacrifice made it possible. GLASGOW, MO.

The Presiding Elder presented to Mrs. Lula Pettigrew, the pastor's wife, a purse of $2.85, given by Brother Owens Holiday and wife. On Monday night, after the Quarterly Conference was over, the collections for Sunday were reported to be $50.25; total amount for quarter, $171.14.

But now, with the aid of mechanical hired hands, farming in the future will be mere joy-riding. Instead of following a team of panting, perspiring horses and stumbling over rough clods in the broiling sun while trying to keep under control a plow whose diabolical disposition is to twist and turn from the straight and even furrow, Mr. Farmer can put on his automobile goggles and gloves, seat himself comfortably in the spring seat of a tractor, and under a canvas canopy that shunts away the sun, guide his obedient steel steed across the fields. In the springtime the plowing can be done to the music of the birds, who gather around to watch for the luckless but luscious worms turned up by the blades. By one turn of the wheel, a battery of disk plows can be made to obey orders like soldiers. When the plowing is done, the mechanical hired man will as cheerfully pull a harrow or a seeding machine, and no stops need be made in the shade to allow the "critter" to "blow." A tractor loves to work and all it asks in return is that its stomach be kept full of the spirits that enthuse but do not intoxicate. During the dinner hour, if the farmer follows his efficiency book faithfully, he will connect up his tractor engine with the pump and fill the water reservoir, or perhaps he will turn the churn for mother. After a long pull at the cider barrel and the distillate tank, both master and servant are ready to resume operations. As the seasons merge one into another, and the crops are all planted and growing under the genial smiles of Old Sol and the sympathetic ministrations of Jupiter Pluvius, Mr. Farmer, with nothing to do but watch his grain grow, can drive his tractor over to the neighboring wood lot, and with the help of his husky sons, or his neighbor's stalwart sons, can cut enough cordwood to defy the advance and siege of Jack Frost. The modern tractor loves to be tied to a buzz saw, and it sings right merrily while doing its work. When the wood is cut, the obliging tractor will haul it to the woodshed, and then, like the famous man of history, will look for new work to conquer. The overwhelming advantage of the tractor over horses is that of power and endurance. If the supply tank of one of these machines is kept full of fuel, it will work on indefinitely without rest, whereas beasts of burden demand time to eat and sleep and rest. Then, too, it is much easier on the farmer to sit on a seat and plow by turning a wheel than to follow the furrows on foot. Consequently, the farmer with a tractor will do all his plowing in from a fourth to a half of the time required with horses. By equipping the machines with electric lights, generated by the motor, the surrounding ground can be made as light as day, and plowing can go on independent of the sun. Poor Dobbins would give up the ghost if subjected to such treatment. The superiority of the tractor is also demonstrated by the ability to get over ground so soft and muddy that ordinary horses and farm implements would mire in. The modern ball-tread tractor is built to run on its own track. Being wide and flat, with the weight of the machine evenly distributed, this caterpillar type of perambulator can navigate through a sea of mud, and by its great traction power can pull anything except teeth.

If the hens have been industrious, or bossy's product has been converted into golden butter or cheese for the city folks, Mr. Farmer can haul them to market by hitching a trailer behind his tractor. Many of the machines are bought for their hauling ability alone. It will even take the folks to church on Sunday, if the jitney happens to break down on Saturday night.

Farming has ever been BIG LOADS ON BAD ROADS evolution. It has been with us for many years, but the older members of the family, though big in stature, were extremely awkward, had many ills and didn't believe in efficiency. They were very impressive to look at, but when the farmer bought one he usually found that it made the most durable impression upon the ground. It was a better staller than a politician. Through education, however, it was developed into a finer thing. It lost a lot of its awkwardness with its size and gained in strength and flexibility. Its groans were converted into action. It began to wear new shoes, and when a mudhole or a gully confronted it, instead of puffing and snorting and marking time, as the older ones did, it rolled on through the soft spots, or climbed out of the ditches. Its new revolving track shoes could go anywhere, and it did. The latest proof of this is seen in the reports from the European battlefields, where the armored "tanks" are walking over all obstacles.

Trade Secrets Held at Enormous Prices The Oxford Press syndicate values its formula for making the very thin, tough paper used in the Bibles and encyclopedias at more than $1,000,000. To perfect the process required 25 years of hard work and the expenditure of $1,000,000 in cash. A secret of even greater value is the formula for making the paper employed for the Bank of England notes. This is a family possession of the Portals of Lavenstroke, to whom already in two generations it has brought an enormous fortune. The brilliant red cloth of the cardinals' robes worn at the Vatican has been manufactured for many generations by the same firm of merchants at Burstheld, near Aix-la-Chapelle.

When the monks of La Grande Chartreuse were expelled from France, the senior abbot carried the recipe for the famous liqueur in a casket of tempered steel, and this was never for a moment out of his possession. In the open market afterward the formulae for the twin liqueurs, the green chartreuse and the yellow, were sold for $1,600,000. At the time this liqueur was first made the recipe was written on a single fragment of parchment, six inches by nine. One by one additional ingredients were introduced. It has been stated that at the present time the mixture contains 137 different substances. And every addition to the drink required an addition to the recipe. The result was a volume of more than 100 pages. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most valuable book in the world. This becomes rather amusing when we remember that the mendicant friar who first concocted the liqueur regarded his invention with considerable disfavor.

They possessed as one of their heirlooms a family recipe for a drink distilled from the marasco, or wild cherry. When they finally consented to part with their secret they received therefor a large sum in cash and land to the extent of several thousand acres. This is the cordial popular the world over as Maraschino. It has frequently happened that valuable trade secrets have been lost beyond recovery. For instance, the best watch oil, it appears, cannot be obtained today because the secret process of mixing perished with the inventor. It is said that the last quart of this famous liquid was sold for $200, and that was 35 years ago. Since then every effort has been made to analyze the product in an attempt to reproduce the oil, but without success. The man who made it the oil, without success, composition dled, and, it further appears, not even his name or the place of his burial is known.

Business firms are not the only possessors of trade secrets. Governments are just as zealous --- THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1917 around like a whirling dervish and can come close enough to a tree or the fence to caress but not offend it. A favorite trick of one make of a California tractor is to turn completely around on an ordinary railroad flat car. When one considers the width of these cars the feat is a remarkable one. If all else fails, the machine can get a job in a circus as a contortionist. One of the odd uses to which tractors are put is that of clearing land for cultivation. On the virgin fields of Canada the ranchers found the new land to be thickly covered with tough brush and young trees, forming a dense mat, to clear which by hand seemed a formidable task. A tractor owner rigged up a sort of "summer snowplow" made of two sharp blades at the bottom and a number of steel rods placed horizontally over a V-shaped frame that ran to a height of four or five feet. By fastening this contrivance to the front of his tractor, and by bucking the forest growth as he would a snowdrift, the brush was cut off close to the ground and thrown to one side and burned. Later the same tractor went over the ground with a gangglow and cut out all the roots and turned up the soil for planting. The tractor on the farm has come to stay, and the up-to-date farmer will find it as hard to get along without one as a wife, and much easier to get along with. in guarding valuable processes as are manufacturers. For example, the Chinese government is the owner of the secret of making vermilion red, which is held by many experts to be the most beautiful shade of red in the world. No one has ever been able to produce ce a like vermilion. The Turkish government, it appears, possesses a similar secret process of inlaying precious metals in the hardest steel. The work is done perfectly and defies all attempts at reproduction. In 1913 it was announced that a distinguished chemist of the imperial technical school of Moscow had solved the problem of making artificial rubber, and that he could sell the new product at about 30 cents a pound. Yet the price of rubber remains pretty much the same, if not more. The reason may be found by examining the patent office records. In the last decade many hundreds of patents for artificial rubber have been taken out. Substitutes have been made from petroleum, from coal tar, turpentine, peat, from nitrated linseed oil and by treating cereals with phytolin. The latter invention created a considerable sensation so long ago as 1900, yet, judging by the constantly increasing demand for the natural product, it has had little effect upon the real rubber market. The chemist, working in his laboratory, can take any substance and analyze it, that is, break it up into its original constituents, and tell you what they are and how much of each element the substance in question is composed of; but when it comes to building up the original substance out of its prime constituents he is at sea, for the most part. By dint of long and patient experiments or perhaps by pure chance he may succeed in reproducing some few natural products, but that is as far as he can go. Indigo blue took many years to synthetize. A German chemist accomplished it at last, but the curious discovery was made that if blended with the natural product made from the indigo plant the color obtained was both more durable and brighter than that made by either dye alone. So artificial indigo has not yet ruined the indigo planter. Artificial camphor has also been produced. It is now made from pine-tree turpentine. But the chemist has not yet succeeded in synthetizing gutta percha. This commodity yearly becomes scarcer. Enormous quantities are required for various purposes, notably the covering of submarine cables and the making of golf balls. A fortune awaits the man who can make artificial gutta percha at a price that will permit it to compete with the juice of the Dichopis gutta. Cork is another substance of everyday use that seems to defy the inventor. The only substitute for cork is paper treated with paraffin wax. But such a cork could not be used for a bottle of wine. So far nothing has been artificially made to compete with the bark of the cork oak. At Delhi, in India, stands an ancient iron monument which, though exposed to all weathers, never rusts or decays. Yet it has no protective covering. Here is a secret which would be simply invaluable to the world, which has been discovered by some Indian artificer of old and most unfortunately lost. At a meeting of steel and iron men in London, the chairman said that they could face the future with complacency if they could rediscover the secret. To shipowners alone it would mean a yearly saving of millions. Rust is the great enemy of the steel ship and she has constantly to go into dock to have her hull coated with an anticorrosive solution. Gutta Percha Becomes Scarcer. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER THE SHEPHERD OF CAPTIVE ISRAEL. LESSON TEXT-Ezakiel 34. GOLDEN TEXT-The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want—Psa. 23:1. With the complete subversion of the kingdom of Judah, the national consciousness was largely crushed and the people were without heart for the common affairs of life. Ezekiel, though born in Jerusalem, prophesied in Babylon near the River Kebar. The object of his prophesying was to encourage the captives by placing before them God's promise of their return to their own land. His name signifies, "God will strengthen," which is very appropriate to the mission which in the providence of God he was called upon to fill. 1. Israel's Faithless Shepherds Denounced. (vv. 1-10). These false shepherds included the kings, princes, judges and priests. Ezekiel points out that the captivity was because of sin, but he shows that the greatest guilt obtains with reference to these leaders. They were placed in the position to care for and protect the sheep. The following indictments are brought against them: 1. They fed themselves instead of the flock (v. 2). They were essentially selfish. They ministered to themselves instead of the sheep. Too many today are filling public offices for the sake of private gain. Sometimes even ministers are found who are more concerned about themselves, their pleasures and profits, than they are about the souls of the people who support them. 2. They were cruel (v. 3). They were not only mere hirelings, guilty of looking.after themselves, but they actually behaved like robbers, preying upon the flocks. All are guilty of this same sin who use their influence and power to the disadvantage of others. In the theocratic kingdom such behavior was peculiarly obnoxious, as the rulers and ministers were representatives of Jehovah himself. The minister and public officer today is acting in his capacity for God, not for himself, therefore he should make the cause of heaven his chief concern. 3. They neglected the diseased, wounded, wayward, and lost (vv. 4-6). As a result of their selfish cruelty the sheep were without food; therefore exposed to disease; had no bond of unity, were exposed to the ravages of wild beasts. God's flocks are in many places thus suffering and dying because they have not been fed. God's judgments are against such (vv. 7-10). 11. The Faithful Shepherd. (vv. 11-16). The Shepherd here is none other than Jesus Christ. The wonderful blessings here described will be realized by Israel in millennial times. This blessed condition will be ushered in by the second coming of Christ. How sincerely all should pray, "Thy kingdom come." When the true Shepherd comes: 1. He will seek his lost sheep (v. 11). Though they have gone astray through wilfulness on their part, and neglect on the part of faithless shepherds, Jesus will seek them out and save them. To save the lost was his peculiar mission (Luke 19:10). 2. He will rescue them from the power of their enemies (v. 12). God's sheep have real enemies and they have fallen into the enemies' hands, but the Faithful Shepherd is able to deliver them. "No one is able to pluck them out of his hands" (John 10:28, 29). 3. He will bring them back to their own land (v. 13). Poor, scattered Israel shall one day (may it be soon!) be brought back to their own land. This is the one unmistakable sign by which we may know the beginning of the end of this dispensation. Be assured that it is not wars, nor pestilences that mark the sign of the close of this age, but the movements of Israel. 4. He will feed them (vv. 14, 15). "I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment." 5. He will seek that which was lost (v. 16). That which has been driven away he will seek and bring it back again. 6. He will heal them from weakness and suffering (v. 16). All the wounds which Israel has received these many centuries shall be healed. III. The Golden Age (vv. 23-27). The vision of the world as it now is, is most disheartening. It is midnight darkness. In this blackness we wonder why God does not interpose. We wonder how he can be silent. While midnight is upon us we are hopeful, for we see the bow of God's promise of better things flung across the sky. This present order shall disappear before the new. In that new order: 1. Jesus Christ, David's Son, shall be king (vv. 23, 24). This new era of blessedness can only come into realization when God's Son shall establish his kingdom upon the earth. Fads And Fancies Of Fashion WHAT CAN WE DO? Suits and coats and hats lead off the fall fashion parade but in the reserve forces of the wardrobe along come the dependable separate skirts. They are beautifully fitted and tailored and made of all the staple or fashionable wool fabrics. There is an abiding attraction in these everyday clothes of the average woman—no one gets tired of them. Quiet colors in plaids, crossbar mixtures and figured materials share honors with plain goods for the separate skirt for fall and winter. Needlework, in the simpler kinds of embroidery, proved so effective on late summer skirts that it has carried over and become a new chapter in the story of fall fashions. In the skirt pictured it WHAT WE In order to have a clear comprehension of the Red Cross and its work, it is necessary to know about its construction and its methods. The president of the United States is not merely an honorary officer but an active president of the society. He presides at the annual meetings, appoints members of various boards and issues important public appeals in time of war or disaster. It is important to understand that it is the arm or instrument of the government for giving aid to humanity. Its work goes on at all times in the department of civilian relief. Under its charter all accounts of the American Red Cross are audited by the war department and an annual report submitted to congress by the secretary of war. To President Taft belongs much credit for the time and attention he gave to the affairs of the society, in order to build it up to its present efficiency and establish it in the public confidence. The central committee is the governing body, under it coming three important boards whose chairmen and vice chairmen are members of the committee. These boards are the war, national and international relief boards. They establish the policies in their respective fields of activity and recommendations for appropriations are made by them to the central or executive committee which has the sole right of appropriating funds. The chairman and vice chairman of the war relief board are the surgeon generals of the army and navy. Those of the international relief board are representatives of the state department and the navy and those of the national relief board are members of the central committee particularly familiar with this part of Red Cross work. "Under these boards are various subcommittees, the medical bugau, the first aid department, the nursing service, town and country nursing and the Christmas seal. State boards, consisting of from three to ten prominent persons, constitute permanent emer appears in silk thread on the pockets and on the skirt about six inches above the hem. But the designer refrains from breaking the length of the panel at the front and terminates the embroidered disks at each side of it. The pockets serve a double purpose for they are actual pockets as well as decorative parts of the design. The embroidery for them is placed on a separate piece of material, cut out the shape of the pocket and sewed over it. A belt of the material is finished with a plaited frill at the top which extends across the sides and back but not across the front where the designer refuses to allow anything to interfere with the straight line, and a large flat button is used for fastening. T CAN DO ? gency finance committees in each state, the governor of the state being the chairman. Besides the state boards there are local organizations which are called chapters, each with its own officers and members. The special duties of the chapters are to collect funds and supplies on appeal from headquarters or from the governor of their respective state, and, in case of local disasters, to co-operate with the institutional member in immediate relief measures." The above brief review of the organization of the American Red Cross is in part quoted from "Under the Red Cross Flag," by Mabel T. Boardman, which gives a very comprehensive and thorough history of the organization, its alms and its work. Julia Bottomly To Fix Buttonholes. For mending buttonholes in the neckbands of shirts, stitch pieces of tape flat along each edge of the buttonhole, bringing them together at its ends. The tape on each side should be just wide enough to extend to the edge of the neckband, where it should also be stitched. This new buttonhole will outlast the rest of the shirt. Bags to Match Hats This Fall The knitting epidemic will bring, forth hats and bags to match this fall, and it is a great opportunity for the woman who loves handwork. She can cross-stitch or embroider both and feel thoroughly in the mode. Duvetyn hats will be very smart, and it is soft enough to make lovely bags. Panel Effect in Evening Gowns. Evening gowns have paneled effects in the back and a sash or girdle in front, or again they are made with drapery to follow the lines of the body, somewhat in antique style. Many of these gowns have a satin foundation. THEKANSASCITYSUN PUBLISHED WEEKLY All communications should be addressed to the Kansas City Sun, 1803 East 18th Street. Bell Phone East 999.

EDITORIALS. --- Be men. Fear nobody but God. One thing is certain. A policeman who cannot arrest an unarmed woman without slapping her is not fit to be a conservator of the law. Maryland has enacted a compulsory occupation law and it is claimed that the legislation is aimed as much at the cabaret lounging white man as at the pool-room loafing Negro. School commences next Tuesday. Are your children ready? Will you encourage them this year into habits of promptness, regularity and industry or will you allow them to drift aimlessly through the bloomtime of their lives? It is claimed that the better class of people at Houston, Tex., are not so bitter against the Negro soldiers who engaged in the unfortunate affair of last week, these confessing that the black troops were subject to continual taunts and bull-ragging such as is a fine art with the greaser class down there. Race hatred is by no means the result of any shortcomings of the Negro people. It's just a cussed, low-down effusion of ignorance and jealousy upon the part of those who hate. It's the heritage of a mediocre class of anarchists who hate simply because their souls are black and because the mere fortune or misfortune of a white skin protects them. It is sheer folly to think that there will ever be a race war in this country. The Negroes are not dreaming of such concerted action against their fellow-citizens. They are peaceable and long-suffering by nature and for this cause they are so frequently made the target of bloodthirsty demons who revel in the agony of those who are helpless. Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

"The Little Girl God Forgot" is announced as the opening attraction at the Garden Theatre next week beginning Sunday with a matinee. This is the latest play from the pen of Edward E. Rose, to be produced and was well liked by the many who saw it here last year; quite a number of changes in the cast have been made, most important being that of Miss Millie Beland who will play the title role. The story of Nancy Barlow, the little milliner's helper in the play, is not an uncommon one and parallels hundreds of other Nancy Barlow's every day life. That is the psychological reason that Mr. Rose based his story on and from the large measure of success that this play has met. Mr. Rose is evidently justified in his behalf.

Zoe Strathair jumped from her horse, scattering the ring around two small boys who were indulging in a slugging match in front of Bell's grocery. She shook the larger boy, who had been getting the best of it very vigorously, and used some strong language to the other, whose bleeding nose and damaged eye did not seem to call for any further punishment. Next she told the men and youths who had formed the ring what she thought of men who could stand around and watch a big boy pumpel a smaller one. For this and similar "unladylike" performances Miss Stratha was not exactly popular in the town of Hazelwood. She had, too, the reputation of having a bad temper, and of leading her sister something of a dance since she had come to live with her. She certainly did not have extreme youth to excuse her escapades, so said the neighbors, for she was older than her sister, Mrs. Cole, who had come there a bride some two years before, so Zoe Stratha, they avered, must be all of twenty-seven or eight. Helen Cole, quiet, conventional, and agreeable, found herself quite powerless to effect a change in her sister's disposition, and tried to make the best of the situation. When the father died there seemed to be nothing else to do but to ask Zoe to come and live with her. But Hazelwood had not taken kindly to the unconventionalities of Miss Stratha, and Helen saw that she, herself, was beginning to be left out of some social gatherings on this account Naturally, she encouraged the attentions of Donald Brooke to Zoe, in the hope that her undesirable sister might be taken off her hands. Donald Brooke was a very eligible bachelor of thirty-five, owning a fine place in the town, and being cashier of the bank. Most of Hazelwood wondered A "Don, What If I Tell You I Don't Love You—" how he could be attracted to the girl. Zoe did not return the feeling he plainly felt for her, and one day painfully surprised her sister by telling her this. She skillfully warded off all attempts of the young man to propose, but kept him dangling in worried perplexity. One day it came to her ears that his family was greatly opposed to her, and were moving heaven and earth to make him see the error of his ways. Whereupon Zoe, true to her nature of contrariness, took a sudden resolve. When Brooke came that evening, she made it easy for him to ask the important question. Then she looked him squarely in the eye and sald: "Don, what if I tell you I don't love you—as a wife should. I think you are the finest, truest man I ever knew, but that isn't what love ought to mean, is it? Perhaps I don't know—but that is how it seems to me." "I don't care!" he broke out passionately. "I love you so, I can afford to wait—if you will marry me—and let me try to win you—I believe I can." "I am not easy to get on with, you know. You are taking a large contract." "I know what I am taking," he said, "and I am very humble in the asking." "Your people do not like me," she added. "My people are not marrying you. We can do without them." "Don, it is a great adventure. Weil," she said softly, "we will take it together." After he had gone she told her sister, who received the joyful news in high elation, and began at once plan for the wedding. Zoe seemed to take no interest in the trousseau, but sat deeply thinking. Suddenly she said: "Helen, I begin to think I'm a criminal!" "Criminal!" echoed her sister in mystified stupefaction. "Yes. I don't love this man. I just made up my mind to marry him because his people are all down on me. Just in defiance, I said to myself, I'll show them! What right had I to do this to so good a man as Don is?" Her sister, fearful lest she should change her mind, began to use the usual arguments as to honor in keeping her word, and the like. "Oh, I'll do what I promised. I'll not back out," she said. And so they were married. And so they were married. They came back from the wedding journey, and went to live in the pretty home that Don had renovated and made beautiful for his bride. Contrary to the expectations of the townpeople things seemed to be running very smoothly in the Brooke family. The two servants employed there helped to substantiate this impression, and declared they couldn't wish a better mistress than Mrs. Brooke. "I declare," exclaimed Helen one day to Zoe, about six months after her marriage, "I never thought you could be made over like this. How did Don do it? He has got you so you'll jump through a hoop and feed from his hand. I'd like to know how he tamed you." "He didn't. If there has been any taming, I've done it myself." Helen looked simply mystified. "His people have come around beautifully, haven't they?" laughed Zoe. tifully, haven't they?" laughed Zoe. "Sister-in-law Gertrude told Mrs. Duncan I was simply a model wife, and Mamma Brooke cried on my shoulder, and said she couldn't imagine how those dreadful lies ever got around about me. They were all true, you know. Good joke, isn't it?" Again Helen looked mystified. She never could understand her sister, and now she seemed more enigmatical than ever. "You remember," said Zoe, "I told you I would show them. Well, I meant to show them I could make as good a wife as any woman living, if I gave my whole mind to it. I have been giving my mind to it. And people seem to think I have succeeded." "And Don?" queried Helen. "He never lets me know—if I haven't. He is very kind and dear." Helen wanted to ask if she had really learned to love him, but she did not dare. One day Don came in when Zoe was giving a carpenter a rather forcible expression of opinion as to some bad work he had done. A surprised smile came upon his face, and when the man was out of hearing, he said: "Well! well! the old spirit broken out again!" And he playfully pinched her cheek. "Do you want it back again?" she laughed. "Dear!" he said, taking her in his arms, "you are more adorable every day, a kind of miracle. I never expected it to happen. I knew I loved you—but—" "But someone has said love is a miracle," she said softly. "It has happened to me." "Do you mean—" He could not trust himself to go further. "I mean, dear, you have wrought the miracle. You have won. I am a game loser, you see!" she laughed in her old v.imsical way, "but such as it is, this love of mine you have it all. I shall never ask it back." His heart seemed too full for speech. He held her close, and a tear fell upon her shining hair. Japan Seeks Match Trade There was a time when Japan made matches for the entire eastern world and other countries in the west. Lack of standardization and export of goods of inferior quality by some of the makers has greatly injured the match trade in recent years. A conference was recently held in Tokyo at which the minister of commerce was present. Practically every section of Japan where matches are made was represented. Mr. Oka, director of the commercial and industrial bureau, recommended a definite scheme for standardization of matches for export, says East and West. His plans were adopted and all Japanese matches made by the Federation of Japanese Match Manufacturers will be examined hereafter at Kobe and Osaka before export. A high standard will be restored and the United States may expect to see Japanese matches take the place of the Swedish article, now almost gone from the market. Chinese Are Tea Drinkers In China and Japan tea is drunk even more frequently than in Russia, and as no Russian travels extensively without a samovar, so no gentleman in China travels without a tea-caddy and the rest of the tea-serving equipment. In China there is a saying that the tea drinker becomes early lame, and among Chinese beauties there is a feeling that extensive tea drinking destroys youth. Whenever tea is taken to a great extent, there are some such prejudices, and we Americans are perhaps wise in restricting our use of tea to the social cup at four or five o'clock. —Exchange. Keep Your Pluck. One gets rather tired of hearing about girls who perform some herote action, and then faint away or go into hysterics. It would seem that if one has pluck enough, for a courageous deed, it ought to be equal to the sequel. Sometimes, it is true, the tax upon the strength is so great that a reaction is inevitable, but more often the breaking down of the girl's self-control is due to the fact that she no longer thinks it is necessary to make an effort to control herself, when once the emergency has passed. "Do you believe in the power of oratory?" "Yes," replied Senator Sorghum; "but too often it's merely power of endurance." THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1917 In The Far Away Falklands THE FALKLANDS' ONLY SEAT OF LEARNING FAR out in southern seas, a thousand miles from Montevideo and several hundred miles eastward most prominent buildings in Stanley are the governor's quarters, the barracks, which shelter a small English "400" PAPER The Chronicle One's Family ing Subs Every once a does something thought of doing of which leads the latest magazine York, which has and by society. The publisher phrase is the p it, but the fact certain persons subscribers were their family his the close scruit from the "land of fire," Tierra del Fuego, lie the lonely, dreary, barren Falkland islands. Ceaseless surges from Antarctic wastes dash upon the rocky headlands to the disturbance of only the wild and stately penguin; the mighty roar of the breakers wasting their beauty, far from the haunts of artist or photographer, is lost in the dismal fog. A land far away from the busy world; a land without a tree, without a newspaper, without a cable to the outer world, with few land birds, beyond the course of the average steamer; indeed, a land without sunshine, it might be said, for the sky is usually overcast, producing annually 250 days of cloudy or rainy weather. Despite weather conditions, however, the Falklands present interesting sights and afford the traveler experiences not met with elsewhere, writes William A. Reld in the Los Angeles Times. There live and move and have their being 2,000 hardy and industrious people, whose remoteness denies them the pleasures of modern life. They extend the hand of welcome to the visitor and he is entertained with stories of those South Sea islands and the part they play, insignificant though it may be, in the world and its progress. Almost exactly 100 years after Columbus sighted San Salvador, John Davis discovered the Falklands; a century later one Strong visited the islands and gave them their name. From that time onward they have been the scene of conflict and disputed ownership. The French planted their flag there in 1765, and very shortly thereafter the British arrived and established Port Egmond, 100 lilles or COLLEGE THE HOME OF THE HUNTINGFIELD HUNTINGFIELD HUNTINGFIELD SHIP HOTEL, PORT STANLEY so from the French. The latter ceded their claim to the Spaniards, who drove away the English in 1770. Later the islands were abandoned; Bueos Alres founded a colony in 1823, but in consequence of a dispute the colony was destroyed by a United States man-of-war (1831). Shortly afterward the British again gained possession, which continues to the present time, although it is said that Argentina claims the islands as her right and lawful possession. Two Large Islands in the Group. The Falkland group comprises two large islands, known as East and West Falkland, respectively, and more than a hundred smaller ones, with a total area of nearly 7,000 square miles, almost as large as the state of New Jersey. East Falkland is the larger of the two and they are separated by a narrow strait. When we sailed into Port Stanley, the capital of the little colony and the largest of the twenty or more settlements, the usual cloudy weather prevailed; several days of ocean-buffeting had been followed by calmer seas and the entrance to the small bay, known as Port William inlet, was a pleasant diversion. The low, brownish hills, barren and somber looking, presented little to attract the business traveler; yet, to the lover of nature who delights to wander far from beaten paths there are always sights to please. Comparatively few ships make the port of Stanley; other than the coming of vessels in distress there is not much traffic with the outside world, and as a consequence the arrival of a passenger ship is a matter of some interest to the people. The day of our coming was not an exception, and both old and young came to meet us, and it might be said that we received a cordial reception. Once upon terra firma the hardy appearance of the inhabitants and the weather-beaten but clean and neatly kept homes are especially noticeable. The thousand persons composing Stanley's population have not troubled themselves with street making; it is a kind of go-as-you-please town, very much resembling the French-Canadian settlements along the New Brunswick coast. The people of the Falklands are largely of Scotch descent they have a strong Scotch brugue and a Scotchman's knack for doing things. The most prominent buildings in Stanley are the governor's quarters, the barracks, which shelter a small English garrison, a cathedral, a new school building, a number of warehouses, a few stores and several hotels. The stores and hotels are about the only business concerns excepting the houses of the English company, which practically monopolizes the great industry of the islands—that of sheep raising and the industries resulting therefrom. Not Much to See in Stanley. A short time is sufficient to see alh that Stanley has to offer. A visit to the stores, as in other lands, reveals to some extent the needs and occupations of the people; and this fact is especially emphasized in the town of Stanley. The articles offered for sale are of the most substantial kind, such as coarse clothing, heavy boots, tin and earthenware, ships' stores, medical supplies, and in fact everything required in a sheep-raising community where the winters are long and severe and the summers short and cool. The average temperature of the islands is 47 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool and constant winds from the southwest send a chill through the stranger and urge him to physical exercise. In fact, the very isolation of one's surroundings kindles the wanderlust and if he is at all inclined to pedestrianism here is an excellent place to gratify his inclination. An overland tramp is most pleasant and invigorating. The country rises gradually from the little bay, and after one walks a few miles he looks back upon one of the world's most isolated towns. Proceeding, the wanderer is impressed with the awful loneliness. Few people are seen and not a tree breaks the horizon, save 1 here and there small patches of stunted growth which rise only a few feet above the ground. The brownish appearance of the landscape is uninviting but when the undulating hills and valleys are reached the traveler's interest quickens and he beholds the "sheep upon a thousand hills." The animals appear to be in fair order, but how they thrive upon such a meager supply of grass and sprouts is past understanding. Yet there are nearly a million sheep on the islands and each sheep is supposed to require a pasturage of several acres. Every year the old animals are slaughtered for the tallow, or, to use the local term "tried down," the returns from the wool, the tallow and the hides in a recent year amounting to more than $1,000,000 "Stone Rivers" of Quartzite. Farther inland we catch our first glimpses of what appear to be glistening streams, but on closer inspection are found to be quartzite. This substance, the particles somewhat resembling crude diamonds in shape, lies in long rows, to which the natives have given the name of "stone river." Scientists say that these so-called "rivers" are a kind of glacier and that they are slowly moving toward the sea. "What becomes of your students after they leave school?" In inquired of the English master of the only place of learning in the islands. "Almost without exception," he replied, "they go out to become herders of sheep or to some employment in connection with the sheep industry." "You see, sir, there is little for our boys to do outside of this one calling, yet few of them leave their island home for the great outer world." Then the master pointed out from among his brightest pupils one little fellow perhaps fifteen years of age. "That boy," said he, "has completed the work of the school, but he is so ambitious that for two additional years he has been going over the same course. We have no advanced classes, so this little fellow—and there are several others like him—are denied the advantages of a training which, to my regret, we are unable to give them." Some people can best make their presence felt by their absence. "400" PAPER IS EXCLUSIVE The Chronicle of New York Probes One's Family History Before Tak- ing Subscription Money. Every once in a while somebody does something nobody else ever thought of doing, and puts it over. All of which leads us to the Chronicle, the latest magazine published in New York, which has been called "of, for and by society." The publishers won't admit this phrase is the proper one to apply to it, but the fact has leaked out that certain persons who sought to become subscribers were turned down because their family histories would not stand the close scrutiny of the social mi- croscope. The Chronicle is published monthly, at the rate of $12 a year, and is not on public sale. Just who the backers of the project are no one seems to know. It has been said that a certain group of well known women got together and said, "Isn't it about time that something be done to kill the idea that society does nothing but engage in 'butterfly balls,' 'monkey dinners,' 'all night bathing parties,' and the like? Let's get out a magazine that will show we have real thoughts and are doing real things. And let's keep it a secret." And here enters James W. Pennock, Jr., formerly of Syracuse, N. Y., a dapper little man who talks high-browish and wears suits, ties and hose of the same shade of green, brown, violet or grey. He is the man you are referred to when you call at the Chronicle office at Fifth avenue. "Yes, I'm in charge here," he draws. "It's immaterial who the publishers of the Chronicle are," he answers to the direct question. "Oh, no, it would be impossible for you to see a copy. They're for our subscribers only, and, you know, our subscribers are invited to subscribe. Our contributors? Well, they're our subscribers. That is one of the basic ideas concerning the Chronicle. The terms contributors and subscribers are synonymous." American Machinery for Swiss American Machinery for Swiss. Since the beginning of the war Swiss peasants have paid increased attention to American agricultural machinery, especially to motor plows. The principal drawback to the introduction of modern American agricultural machinery in Switzerland is that few farmers own more than five to ten acres and about five to ten head of cattle; but recently the larger peasant associations have shown an interest in such machinery, and they might act as purchasers of the machines, renting them to the farmers. The war has made unusual demands on the farmer, because of the lack of laborers and horses. This has created sentiment in favor of the introduction of motor-driven machinery for working the ground, to avoid a serious short age at the next harvest. Donkey Engine Crosses Slough. A donkey engine employed in clearing land on the lower Columbia river, Oregon, made a record for itself by crossing a deep slough under its own steam not long ago, when no scow was available for its transportation to a new setting. The feat is described in Popular Mechanics Magazine. The slough was 160 feet across, several feet deep, and had rather steep banks and a soft bottom, but the engine forged it safely, although the water at one point reached the crown sheet of the firebox. The steam gauge showed 150 pounds pressure when the engine was fired up for the trip, and 15 pounds of steam was left when it landed on the opposite bank. Fish Had Four Feet. While fishing in the Iowa river Raymond Peterson caught a strange thing. Local scientists have pronounced it a "hicoperiotisbysgashaway," but some of our best-posted nimrods say it is a mud puppy. Anyway, it was a strange-looking creature with a body shaped like an eel. It was $24\frac{1}{2}$ inches long. It had a head like a fish with the exception that instead of gills it had a collar of fur just back of the head. It had four legs and in some respects resembled a baby alligator. The little animal put up a pretty game fight for a while, but it soon died when exposed to the air. It was sent to a large museum in New York city. Made for Concealment Stick insects, which are so called because of their resemblance to dry sticks, have two forelegs, which they fold over their eyes when disturbed and evidently think that in so doing they are lost to view. The eggs of these insects take over six months to hatch. They are only one-tenth of an inch in their widest part, yet an insect which at hatching is three-quarters of an inch in length is packed into them. The stick insects destroy the weaklings soon after they are hatched by eating their legs—Exchange. Had an Alias... In order to save his dog's life Howard S.

Well, after Bill had shoved scores of men into the army, he sat down and took stock of himself. He found he was a bit over age and a bit over weight, but that his disposition was just right. He wanted to find a nook for himself in that big military machine, and set about finding it. The first thing that turned up was the army need for field clerks. That's where Bill thought he would shine. He didn't wait to find out what it paid, or whether it paid anything. He just took a car to the war department and handed in his card: "I am Representative Winslow's secretary. I am familiar with all office work. My chief pays me such and such a sum over and above the regular allowance for congressional secretary work." "Step inside," said the officer. That night I met Bill downtown, in the worst fitting and heaviest army uniform ever made, I do believe. But Bill was satisfied. He had found the right niche. And later, when the army really found out that Bill Dearden has a record of unbroken excellence at the house office building it sent him to General Pershing as the best thing yet discovered in the army field clerk line. And so it was that Bill Dearden, who had been working political and departmental pull for everybody that asked him for it, fell into a remarkably good army job himself, without the slightest kind of influence. Surely There Is a Destiny That Rules Our Ends THERE have always been women and women. There always will be. One, for this instance, is a plain soul, as like as a match to all the other plain souls you see going around alone—not being the sort of matches that are still, she ought to have peaches. And as she turned a corner she bumped into an old, old woman who was carrying a basket and talking to herself, as old women will. Also, old men. Naturally, the plain soul apologized, and, equally natural, the old woman was only too thankful to be jostled for the sake of voicing her wall. She had taken home the clean wash, all tucked under oilcloth to keep it dry, and the lady said she couldn't break a bill tonight, and being as it was so far to come, she had better take the solled clothes back with her and she would pay for both washes next week. "She always does me that way—and I told her my daughter was ill in her bed and that I had to buy milk for her baby. But she wouldn't give me my money. And I said my beads all the way going, and the Blessed Mother she didn't help me either——" It takes very little to tide over needs scaled to the income of a wash basket, so that was all there was to that, but—— As the plain soul went back to where she belonged—almost forgetting to go to the stand around the corner to buy four peaches for ten cents—she said to herself: Women Workers in Big Demand at Washington THERE'S as much hustle and bustle here when the departments quit work as there is in an industrial city when the six o'clock whistle blows.

Men have been going into the army, into the reserve camps, into the navy, into other occupations directly related to war activities. Their places must be filled. The civil service examinations have been taken by hosts of American women here and elsewhere, by many women who never cared to be called into service, at least by very many who never expected to be called into competition with the best talent in their respective cities. But now the call is no longer only for the best. The demand for clerks, typewriters and stenographers is so great that those who pass with a fair average are certain to be invited to take positions—no longer at $600 or $700 a year entrance salary, but at $1,000. Where formerly the bureau chiefs would accept only those who passed with something over 90, they are satisfied with those who go to 80, and they are not adamant in that particular, either.

Bill has been secretary to Representative Samuel E. Winslow of Massachusetts ever since Winslow came to congress. In addition to doing his congressional work thoroughly and well, looking out for constituents by the dozen, answering letters, landing jobs for Massachusetts college men, and all that, he has been quietly writing a lot of interesting magazine stuff. So you see Pershing's new secretary isn't a loner. When the war broke out, Bill moved. found himself getting Massachusetts men turned up. He had little trouble in media.

She declared, however, he apparently was so engrossed in his conversation with the painted daughter of Neptune that he forgot to provide for his wife and child. It was disclosed also that Thrain registered for conscription under his stage name of Marlow, but his attorney insisted there had been no intent to evade the call for military service. When he was permitted to talk, the husband said he had broken off the chat with the mermaid and was working for a patent belt company. He was released on his promise to pay $5 a week for the support of his child and provide a home for his wife, and the case was taken under advisement for 60 days.

Bv EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—War department officials are expressing their gratification at the record of four months' recruiting for the different branches of the service. The enlistment books show that the volunteer spirit in the United States is a living thing. Recruiting figures compiled from official sources show that in the last four months more than 1,750,000 men have volunteered for the military and naval services of the country. This does not mean that this number of men have been accepted for service, but it means that volunteers to the number given have tried to get into the ranks either of the army or the navy. For every man accepted by the army, navy, marine corps, the National Guard, the officers' reserve corps and the various reserves there is official sanction for the word that at least two men willing and anxious to serve their country were rejected for physical or other reasons, for every one man that succeeded in passing the examinations. The regular army and the National Guard, according to the last figures, have each gained in four months' time about 185,000 men. Everyone of these men was a volunteer. The rejections numbered something over one million. During the same period of four months the navy has taken in for fighting purposes about 88,000 men. More than 150,000 young Americans have applied for a chance to enter the various officers' training camps throughout the country. The marine corps virtually is recruited to its full war strength and every man of them is a volunteer. Plays No Favorites. The war department officials in Washington believe that the selective conscription plan for a great army is the best that can be adopted, because it plays no favorites. It makes every man of military age, no matter what his social position or his wealth, take his chance with every other man. The officials have tried to keep the volunteer spirit in everything that has gone to make up the new National army, and seemingly they have succeeded. They say that the selected man will be considered a volunteer. It is pretty well known that hundreds of thousands of young Americans, if they had not known that selective service was coming, would have volunteered for the regulars, the National Guard, or the navy. The fact that young men saw a chance to serve in the new army, the war department officials believe, kept many of them from entering the established services. It is held, however, that nearly 2,000,000 men having shown their willingness to enter the regulars or the Guard is proof enough that the volunteer spirit is still vibrant. Here is the table indicating the number of men who have volunteered for the American service in four months: Branch. Applied Accepted. Regular army ..... 540,000 ..... 180,000 National Guard ..... 540,000 ..... 180,000 Navy ..... 225,000 ..... 75,000 Marine corps ..... 45,000 ..... 15,000 Training camps ..... 150,000 ..... 50,000 Naval militia ..... 75,000 ..... 25,000 Army reserve ..... 25,000 ..... 15,000 Naval reserve ..... 150,000 ..... 50,000 Totals ..... 1,750,000 ..... 590,000 Ranking officers of the United States army, ranking in position and in military sagacity, have come to take the position of the French army men in the matter of the necessity of the early dispatch of large numbers of Ameri- can troops to the training camps back of the battle line. A definite plan has been submitted giving the number of divisions that should be sent to France and fixing the latest time limit for their arrival abroad. It is not best to give the numbers of men asked for, nor to fix definitely the time when the army men hope they can be put into the place of greatest advantage to the war cause, but there is no harm in saying that the more active minded army men are asking that the order for "double time" be given. Speed Up Preparation. There has been an acceleration of the pace of preparation in the army and the navy departments, but things in the military service are comparative as they are in civil life. If the quick-spirited ones of the service have their way the Germans will feel the American hand and hand grenades with much greater force and in much greater numbers than the wise men of the kaiser's militaristic machine had any thought would or could be the case. Little by little the civil authorities in the land and sea departments have been yielding to the advice, occasionally emphasized by the spur pricks, of the soldier element. There was a disposition on the part of civilians for some time to point out obstacles supposedly in the way of quick support for the allied lines of Europe. All that army officers had to do was to point to the campaign rule which provides means for troops to surmount or to get around obstacles. There is a very distinct understanding in Washington that the transport problem is in a fair-way of quick solution. With this problem solved there remains the problem of supplies, but in this matter also hope has come in "great quantities." Then there is the matter of the preliminary training of the recruits who in large numbers have joined the regulars and the National Guard. In every newly formed regular regiment there is something more than a nucleus of veterans. Army men say that green men can be made into soldiers twice as rapidly when they have a battalion of seasoned men to train and to rally about. The trained regulars who, with the recruits make up the new regiments, are of course in better shape for immediate fighting than are the National Guardsmen, no matter how long the state troopers may have been in the service, with but dally drill and instruction it will not be long before the Guardsmen are regulars. Therefore, the training of the Guard recruits ought not to take much longer than that of the rookies who have joined the regulars. Make Rapid Progress. Reports to the war department show that the troops now in France have progressed rapidly in the lessons of the school of the new warfare. It is pretty well known in Washington that army officers now abroad believe that one week in camp in France is worth a month in camp in the United States. This fact has quickened the desire of army officers, and presumably that of the civilian authorities, to increase as rapidly as possible the number of troops now preparing for actual conflict. While some persons are still trying to delay democracy's work and thereby gratify the Germans, there seemingly BRITAIN REVEALS ITS AIR SECRETS America Given Results of Experiments Carried on for Several Years. BIG FLEET PLAN OPPOSED Turning Out of 30,000 Craft Deemed Unwise, in View of Continual Changes Made Necessary by War Experience. London.—If the United States produces airplanes on a large scale and they prove successful in the fighting on the western front it will be due in no small measure to the great aid rendered America by the British government in aeronautics. Britain is today supplying American aero factories with concrete results developed by experiments carried on for several years, a few of which are outlined in a recent report by the advisory committee for aeronautics. The work of the advisory committee has grown to such an extent in the last year that subcommittees have been appointed for special work along certain lines. One subcommittee is experimenting on internal combustion engines, while another is dealing exclusively with light alloys. As a result of experience gained in actual warfare changes are made in construction almost daily, and it is this fact that makes the plans of the United States for the immediate construction of 30,000 airplanes seem inadvisable. Perhaps the greatest advance in airplane construction has come through the work of the committee on aerodynamics, which has tested models of every type of aircraft now employed. Important tests have been made of various shapes to discover which offered the least resistance and which best distributed air pressure. Airship Stability. Along this line a vast amount of experimental work has been carried out along the theory of airship stability. A complete series of tests have been completed relating to air propellers with a view to increasing the accuracy of prediction of performance, thus facilitating the design of propellers for special types of aircraft. Extreme care has been devoted to the study of design to secure adequate strength in high-speed fighting machines. These machines which the United States already is at work upon require high power, while the weight must be kept to the minimum, and the best compromise between these two opposed conditions does not admit of precise determination. Special attention has been paid to the manner in which strength varies with dimensions. Machines have been placed upon test tables which allow of accurate observations of the effects of vibration. Every wire, brace and stay has been put to severe tests. The use of light alloys has become of paramount importance, and the improvements made in the last year along this line are going to have tremendous effect on future development. The national physical laboratory has REGISTERED; "FIRED;" THEN SUES FOR $1,000 Tulsa, Okla.—Alleging he was discharged because of the time it took him to register for military service, Albert Golden has brought suit against Bumgarner & Downing, furniture dealers, for $1,000 damages. Golden, who was employed by the defendants as a teamster, claims he left the store at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon to go to his precinct registering place, but when he arrived the line-ahead of him was so long that the registrar did not get to him until 10:30 o'clock that night. The following morning, he says, he was discharged. --- is no chance that they will be able to "submarine" our transports before they leave port. There is only a small backing in congress for the attempt which is being made to prevent the sending of National Guardsmen and the new National army to France. Of course if this attempt should be successful the war would be lost unless the allies could win it for themselves. Officials believe that there is virtually no chance that the Supreme court on a constitutional question would decide that the members of the National Guard and of the new army must stay on this side of the water. An attempt to take a test case before the court is, however, one of the blocking schemes. The training of the National Guard troops will be quickened if the war department does not yield to the demands of the politicians and make brigadier generals out of unserviceable civilians. The brigadier general under the new fighting rules must be a man of military parts. Washington looks for quick results in the National Guard training camps and as goes without saying in the camps of the regulars. The word is for troops and more troops quickly to move to the front, and seemingly belief is that the word "will go." been conducting experiments in light alloys for many years, and during the last two or three months results of special interest have been achieved. To carry out the manufacture of the newest type metal the subcommittee on light alloys hopes to co-ordinate the work being done in various centers and of placing the information gained by experimental work at the disposal of manufacturers. Fabrics and Varnishes. This information, in part, has been sent to the United States and will take its big share in the final achievement of tremendous output. Collaborating with the military air department, the advisory committee for aeronautics has taken up several questions dealing with the use of fabrics and varnishes and protective coatings. These materials have been tested for use in the tropics and for use in the cold high altitudes and in the winter months on the western front. Conclusions of importance have been reached in this line and changes have been made in the materials and coatings for wings with regard for the changes worked by sunlight, rain and other atmospheric conditions. Aviation schools have aided greatly in the work of perfecting bombs to be carried by airplanes and the same schools have also supplied valuable information, regarding the use of aerial instruments and the effect of altitude on them. Two new types of bombsights have been tested and a new form standardized. Lastly, the advisory committee reports that establishment of stations in the proper areas to report upon the development and procedure of thunderstorms. They are traced across the map and reported to the affected districts. CRAVE FOR WHITE BREAD Americans In Paris Envy United States' Soldiers Home-Baked War Ration. Paris.—The decision that real white bread is to be furnished the United States troops now encamped in France has awakened a feeling of envy and a craving of appetite among Americans living in Paris. For months they have been eating the dark, heavy war bread, and, as the English say, are quite "fed up on it." An American hostess who was giving a small dinner recently wished to give her guests a treat. She arose at five o'clock in the morning to get to the one place in central Paris where white bread is procurable before the limited supply was exhausted. She paid 10 cents for a tiny loaf the size of the ordinary 6-cent loaf in New York, and it occupied the place of honor on her table that evening. Hair In Form of Cross Petersburg, Ind.—Lester Battle is going to leave his hat at home for a while. After much study Lester decided on what he thought would be the best scheme to show his enthusiasm for the Red Cross. He went to a barber shop and whispered a few words to the barber. Then the barber got busy. When Lester left the shop his hair was cut closely—except for a spot on the back of his head, where the hair was left in the form of a cross. Experiments by a British expert in reforesting some of the hills of China have led to the establishment of a comprehensive course in forestry in a university in that country. FOR THE SMALL GIRL --- High-Waisted Effects Seen New Fall Coats. One Smart Model Would Develop Attractively in Bright Red Velour With Black Collar and Cuffs. The little coat here shown, designed for a girl of six to ten years, is decidedly small, but it is simple enough for the average home dressmaker. A soft fabric of medium weight should be selected. Yoke and sleeves only require lining, as the overlapping plaits of the lower part give it weight and warmth. The deep yoke with upper part of sleeves cut in one with it is a feature of the garment. The lower part of the sleeve is attached with several rows of stitching in heavy silk twist marking the seam, and the same slight trimming touch should be applied to the lower part of the yoke. The simple little rolled collar may be of velvet or of self-fabric. If velvet in contrasting color is used the narrow cuffs should also be of velvet. This little coat would develop attractively in bright red velour with collar and cuffs of black velvet. Navy ranks first, as usual, in the juvenile color card, but many vivid reds and greens are also used, and various tan and brown shades are also favored in coats. It is interesting to note that all manner of liberties have been taken with the juvenile waistline also. High-waisted effects for girls of four to eight years are featured considerably, but the normal and low placing of the waistline are shown as often. In many coats for the winter of 1917-18 this elusive line is ignored, the garments being cut straight from neck to hem. To make the little coat shown in the sketch for a girl of six to eight years, two and a quarter yards of material 36 inches wide will be required, with TEA GOWN OF BEAUTY Copyright Downtown & Underwood Changeable coloring, especially when the colors are gold and green, are an almost sure method of making miladi see beauty. This tea gown of those colors with an iridescent patch chiffon tea coat combined makes a tea gown of regal beauty. FOULARD MORE WIDELY USED Dressmakers Contrive Way to Use Material in Frocks Intended for Wear in the Afternoon. Mme. Jenny gets the credit for introducing the combination of white organdle and blue and white foulard. This model did not meet with as much success in the spring as it did later. Those who did not accept it in its entirety built up an adapted gown which was quite successful. There was a knife-pleated skirt of blue foulard, with loose Russian blouse of white organdle, belted, collared and cuffed with the foulard. This is still considered one of the attractive frocks of the season. The majority of women, however, prefer velling a fouled frock with dark blue volle. This deadens the design and renders the staring white dot vague and mist-like. The combination of volle and fouled is kept for informal hours, but the dressmakers now see a way in which fouled can be made to serve for the afternoon. This is done by draping it in combination with cream chiffon, using a weave of silk that is dyed in unusual colors. In one such frock the fouled is in broad stripes of cream and old rose. The skirt is made of a separate piece of the material, with a coin dot border, and the sevedge is allowed to drop at each side in order to show a panel of the cream chiffon skirt. There a quarter of a yard of velvet for collar and cuffs. Three buttons on the yoke and three others at the bottom of the skirt effect the fastening, although the average small girl will probably disregard the ... Fall Coat for Small Girl. latter three and allow the coat to swing open or stay closed, according to the weather. are loose sleeves of the chiffon, a panel of the foulard at the back and the front of the bodice and a deep collar of the much sought after Van Dyke lace. DAINTY PATTERNS NO MORE Loud Colors and Most Daring of Designs Now Predominate in All Sport Costumes. In general, delicate shades and dainty patterns have vanished from sport costumes. It's a splash of brilliant color today and the most daring of designs. Gone are the sprays of rosebuds and sprigs of forget-me-nots. Instead we have big dots, wide stripes, bold checks and curious Chinese, Japanese and Egyptian symbols. The sheerest of crepes flaunt a design that used to be thought suitable only for a sport fabric. Shantung, so fashionable, is striped in the loudest of colors or shows a big embroidered dot. The crinkled khaki kool, not satisfied with its last season's beauty, now shows a jacquard design or the widest of fancy stripes. There are cottons with a crepe weave and cottons and tussahs combined, splashed with dots, in colors that fairly dazzle the unprotected eye. Circles, both on cottons and silks, are favorite designs. A white khaki kool shows circles of Chinese blue or steel and another shows citron-colored dots. DOING AWAY WITH THE HIPS Exercise Is Essential and It May Be Obtained Outdoors or in One's Room Morning or Night. Exercise is essential if you would reduce the hips. In case it is impossible to walk or exercise outdoors during the day, you can obtain the same results by exercising in your room morning and night, says an expert on this subject. Even a few minutes will produce results in time if this exercise is taken regularly. It sounds very simple, but you may find it hard at first. Walk rapidly around the room on your tiptoes, raising each knee as high as you can without losing your balance. Continue for at least five minutes, and then take a cold sponge and a brisk rub. At night, after you have taken the exercise, dip a Turkish towel in very hot water and drop it about your hips, placing a dry towel outside and keeping it in place until cool. Repeat this at least six times; the effect will be much the same as if you had steamed your face, and you should apply alcohol to close the pores. No Waistline In Sight. So far as any change that one might predict in the matter of new corsets planned for the coming season, the novelty all depends on fabric, trimming and workmanship. Perhaps plink will be used rather more than ever before. But as far as silhouette goes things will go on much the same as ever. Designers and dressmakers who hoped to have a more shapely—or one might say a more substantial foundation upon which to fit the gowns of the coming season are doomed to disappointment, for the woman of fashion will still go on with her figure very little confined. The woman who likes to be comfortable, and who knows that in comfort is grace, will be glad to know that among the new corset models there will be rather more rubber inserts to give elasticity where it is needed most, according to the type of figure for which the particular corset is designed.

SURELY "PUT FOOT IN IT" In Portland, Ore., there is a bakery window that usually contains a tempting array of cakes. Sponge cake, pound cake, lady fingers, puffs and, indeed, a dozen other kinds of sweet-bread, served to make the mouths of the children fairly water when they go past the big window. The other day a gentleman went into the bakery to leave an order, and with him went his dog—a good-sized animal, of a frisky disposition. When that gentleman came out he shut the door behind him, forgetting that he had left his four-footed friend and follower inside the bakery. As for the dog, he was in a great way. Seeing the door closed against him, he got into a state of mind ordinarily described as "crazy." In his eagerness to keep track of his master, he looked around for a place of exit. Now, one of the saisons in the big show window aforementioned was raised an inch or so, and the dog therefore made a dash for the window. His first leap took him on top of a fine, frosted wedding cake, and his paws sank into it just as a boy's boots break through a crust of snow. Finding himself still in a trap, and being unable to break the plate glass, the dog began to hop around, with his forepaws against the panes and his hindfeet down among the precious cakes. The more the people both without and within shouted, the more the dog danced, and the more the rich and highly-ornamented products of the oven suffered. Talk about "putting his foot in it"—he put his foot through a cake at every jump. At the height of the excitement the baker, who had been away, entered. The dog saw the door fly open, and, quitting the window at a bound, he darted away. Nothing more was seen of the animal, who probably did not know what havoc he had made in the unfortunate baker's window. "Algy consulted a brain specialist yesterday." "That's pretty good. What happened?" "Oh, the specialist is a tactful fellow. I understand he merely talked about the weather." To Help Blinded Soldiers. A committee has been formed in this country the purpose of which is to assist men who have been blinded in battle. Joseph H. Chote is president of the committee. CHURCH DIRECTORY. CHURCH DIRECTORY.
