RIOT JURY SPEAKS Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter VOLUME X. NUMBER 3. A SPLENDID REGIMENT. That the Tenth Cavalry, U. S. A., is a fearless fighting body of men has long been known by the American people but that it possesses some' of the finest literary and musical talent of the race is not generally known.

J. W. Scott, former pastor of Allen Chapel, this city, and one of the most popular chaplains in the army, and his estimable and talented wife, Mrs. N. Poindexter Scott.

ECHOES FROM FT. DES MOINES Lt. I. E. Moore I am now at Fort Des Moines and am glad to admit that this camp is certainly conducive to good health and education. The requisites to one's success are certainly being instilled or inocculated, viz., discipline, obedience, system and punctuality. We are also blessed by having in our midst the Y. M. C. A. under the supervision of Mr. DeFranz, who has been instrumental in securing the following speakers and singers: Major Moten of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Rev. Proctor, Atlanta, Ga.; Prof. Kelly Miller, Howard University; the Roger Williams Jubilee Singers. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a great work by keeping the spiritual side of one's life well satisfied and we would certainly feel at a loss to be severed from such company, therefore we are indeed glad to know since we've given service and our lives if need be, for Old Glory and democracy that the Y. M. C. A. will accompany us to the theatre of operation. We had the pleasure to hear President Hubbard of the Meharry Medical College, speak in the Y. M. C. A. August 30. We have nothing to regret during our stay here. On September 17 Dr. Gershon Hill (white), assisted by his friends, tendered a banquet to the officers of this camp that will be remembered long at the Retreat, a sanitarium for infirm persons. The welcome address by Dr. Lewis Schooler (retired medical officer of the Spanish-American army), also the address made by Lieut. Thomas Duhigg, U. S. N., were great. The welcome address on the part of the Polk County Medical Society by Dr. W. E. Saund堡, vice president, and the musical selections by Miss Parks, organist and chorus of the Plymouth Congregational church, were indeed grand. The Retreat is composed of a garage, ice house, eight frame cottages, houses for 200 chickens and a shed and lot for 100 pigs. The main building is a large brick with an imposing tower and is covered completely with slate. The windows are of French glass. This plot of land was first purchased by Hon. James Callanan and his excellent wife, who came from New York to Des Moines, Ia., in 1863. Mr. Callanan was an Abolitionist and anti-prohibitionist and at his death gave $100,000 to the Talledega college, $1,000 each to three Colored churches of Des Moines, $20,000 to the Methodist church and $15,000 to the Congregational church. The Retreat is an incorporated sanitarium, established in 1905 by Dr. Gershon Hill, president; Dr. John C. Doolittle, secretary and treasurer; Rev. James Hill, Salem, Mass., and Dr. Russel C. Doolittle, a member of the staff, are stockholders. This plant is on a 40-acre tract of land, the whole of which is valued at $400,000. The banquet tendered us was in the very spacious hall of this plant. We would not do the occasion justice if we did not mention Mrs. Gershon Hill, who is also a physician and a very lovable woman, one who believes in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and assists her husband in every way possible to make our stay a pleasant one. She and the nurses will ever be dear to the memory of the members of the M. R. C. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1917. A Cry For Decency. "One of the nasty things noticeable on 18th street is the profane language used by a certain type of Negro. They have to be very aware of how men who they were animals like themselves. Are you afraid of these dogs? Are you afraid of these Hellions? Are you afraid of these skunks who use vile talk in the hearing of our children." Mr. Good Citizen, I appeal to you to organize a League of Decent People to put down these menaces of our public welfare. Help secure the arrest of these dirty violators of the law. Make in any way we can get their heads cracked or sent to Germany. Anything to get rid of these demainable pests. (Signed) CHARLES A. STARKS." The above statement appeared on a poster in the League Enterprise's window and has attracted considerable attention from the great mass of passersby on that street. Women in particular have taken notice and you can hear them reading aloud the drastic speech. Two little girls read it, one failed to fully grasp its meaning, thereupon the other was heard to remark: "Course they use bad language, don't I hear 'em every day?" (Strong indictment for our most thriving business street!) Every old lady who stops and reads lets drop some ejaculation such as "That man is sure right," while grimfaced men read and thoughtfully pass on, some even stopping to encourage with a handshake. THE REAL CONDITIONS. Now what is the matter? The matter is this: You have good Colored people in this town. Many, many. But you have too large a contingent of vicious Devils. Of these, who shall rule? The righteous or the wicked? The refined or the vulgar? The cleanmouthed or the profane? We ask, who shall rule? The conditions in this neighborhood are shameful. The very air is vibrating with corruption that hurts. Most of our fair brothers take the stand that "All Negroes are bad." Many of our own people take the equally ridiculous stand that all Negroes are good. Whereas common sense shows that Negroes are good and bad and even indifferent, like other races. But of these three classes, who shall rule? It looks as though the bad Negro is ruling when he is permitted to practice his demoralizing antics unmolested and unchallenged by those who believe in moral right and decency. We might well ask if we are cowards in this respect. THE DEEPER CAUSE. As usual, much of this evil is traceable to the saloon and barrel houses. A striking feature is that these places are invariably run by Jews and white Gentiles. Here you have the sons of Shem and Japheth pursuing mercilessly the haunts of the sons of Ham, corrupting and killing the moral fibre of these dark-skinned people. It's a long, long way from the drunken Noah, 'Somewhere' in antiquity to antiquity to Eighteenth street in Kansas City, but such is the connection. It's lamentable that the Jews, unjustly persecuted race that they are, should furnish the worse dives and hell holes in this city to corrupt another race. It would be fortunate if they were as clannish in confining their money-making schemes among their own people as they are in their social and religious propaganda, for then the "Zion movement" would make a better impression in Negro quarters. The poor Jew (poor when they come here) seeks a Negro neighborhood, his field being too corrupt in more than one way, though a squeezing pawn shop and a dirty saloon are his specialties. This is the only thing we hold against the Jew. In this He is striking against our manhood. We are trying to elevate ourselves in a neighborhood effectively set apart for our people. We are trying to raise the tone of this community to a higher moral standard and the Jew in his juxtaposition offers a very adverse element, therefore we feel justified in opposing him. Still we have a regard for the Rosenwalds, and others who symbolize a higher type of citizen, but we certainly have little respect for the Barrelhouse Keepers and their ilk, whom we have come to conceive as the corruptors of our race. Here are two definitions of a saloon. Webster would do well to copy: Saloon—A drink Emporium where men enter, assuage their thirst and go on their way. Saloon-An unsightly place where (This splendid shilling poem from the pen of our own Poet has won the prize of the National Poetry Prize and has been published in a number of leading white and Colored periodicals.)

Contributor to The Sun is Praised by Great Literary Critic—Poem in the Crisis Attracts Wide Attention. Roscoe C. Jamison of St. Joseph, special contributor to the Sun, whose writings have already won for him an enviable place among the literary lights of the middle-west, is now the recipient of a distinction that gives him a seat among the recognized poets of America. His masterful poem "Negro Soldiers," which appears in the September number of The Crisis, published first by "The Sun." has caused its author to be showered with letters of congratulation from all parts of the country. Especially was he surprised to receive a letter from a man conceded to be one of America's foremost literary critics, and himself a poet of the first class, William Stanley Braithwaite, of Boston, Mass., whose favor is eagerly sought by the best writers of verse, in which Mr. Jamison is flatteringly praised for his achievement, and informing him that the "Crisis" poem will be given a place in the 1917 Anthology of Magazine Verse, and Year Book of American Poetry, which is a yearly compilation of the best verse published in American magazines, such as Harper's, Scribner's, etc. This will be the first poem selected from the "Crisis" for the Anthology, in fact the first lines written by a Negro to be reproduced by it during the ten years of its publication.

From such proceeds much of the twisted moral sense disseminating through our society. THE CURE. How can we improve conditions? Answer: By active work in fighting the evil. Let every organization in town, at least, send a letter or delegate to proper officials of the city asking that we have better police protection against the hoodlum who infests our neighborhood; ask that officers assigned to the prescribed district receive "Special orders" to arrest or curtail the persons making loud outbursts of profanity. Ask that business people be encouraged to swear out warrants, if necessary, or give information leading to the arrest of all violators. Talk about it, preach about it, cry about it. Let the "Civic League" take this matter up immediately and work in this direction. We have got to "weed out our own Jim-sons." If we just make it unsafe for the vicious to use their corrupt language out on the streets; we if we just can make them understand that arrest and severe penalty will surely follow their crimes; if every lady even frowns her displeasure and indignation upon hearing profane language we are contributing much to a higher community standard. But we have feared this type of Negro. Never again though! We have got to show that we are a discriminating people at least between right and wrong. We have got to learn to encourage the aspiring element among us and we have also got to learn to crush the bad element. Crush them in a way that will make it safe for reasonable people. This Negro behaves himself in the downtown district. He knows! We are going to make him do the same on 18th street. The writer promises never to cease work on this subject until Colored women may walk 18th street in perfect safety from contamination at least by their own inconsiderate race members. Chas. A.

The trial of Ed Frank of Muskogee, who killed one Arthur Day of the same city, June 3rd, at 1823 Walnut street, in this city, was held in the Criminal Court, Judge R. S. Latshaw presiding, last Monday. Frank was represented by Attorneys C. H. Calloway of this city and Brown & Stewart of Muskogee. It seems that Day ran away with Frank's wife, leaving three small children behind and also took with them several diamonds, all of Frank's cash money and the deeds to valuable property he owned in that city. The State Attorneys attempted to prove premeditated murder and that Frank shot Day in cold blood, but the defense was able to prove that as soon as Day saw Frank he began a fight and stabbed him in the arm with a table fork and that two other friends of Day's seized Frank and were holding him when y Hon.

Ousting of Chief Recommended in Report of Recent Outbreak. Houston, Tex., Sept.11.—Completing an inquiry into the causes of the recent Negro soldier riot, which cost the lives of fifteen citizens of Houston, the citizens board filed its report with the city council late today. The report covers practically every phase of the recent trouble and deals with the police situation in Houston. Chief among the recommendations made is that regarding Superintendent of Police C. L. Brock. "For Mr. Brock as an individual we have the highest regard," says the report, "and it is no reflection on his personal character to say that, in our opinion, he is not qualified for the position he holds, a position the duties and responsibilities of which will become more important and grave when Camp Logan is occupied. His course towards Officer Sparks shows his inability to enforce discipline in different cases; his course on the night of the riot shows that he is not a safe leader in an emergency." The committee is of the opinion that the riot undoubtedly was precipitated by two arrests of Negroes made by Officer Sparks, although sufficient evidence was presented at the hearing to reveal the fact that a serious disturbance was intended by some of the Negro soldiers before leaving Houston and the arrests referred to simply brought it to a head sooner and perhaps intensified the crimes which followed. Continuing, the committee says that the undisputed and convincing testimony of witnesses prove that the Negro soldiers went forth to slay the The Sun Goes to 36 States and Canada. Are Your Relatives and Friends Getting It? he wrenched himself away and tried to beat Day off but was unsuccessful and then an uncle of Day seized a gun and pointed it toward Frank but it was seized by a bystander and Frank then drew a revolver and fired the shot that killed Day. Attorney Brown exhibited great skill in cross examining the witnesses and the summing up of the case in the arguments produced by Messrs. Calloway and Stewart were said to be the best heard in the court in many days. It was a hard fight but when the jury returned their verdict of acquittal the attorneys as well as the defendant were showered with congratulations. Attorney Calloway is building up quite a reputation as a criminal lawyer in this community. Attorneys Brown & Stewart of Muskogee, Okla., who have been in the city several days, left for their home last Tuesday afternoon. They were feeling much elated over their victory in winning the Frank-Day murder case. 1930 Kansas City's brilliant young Attorhotly contested murder case in the onday. He was assisted by Messrs.

A full line of bakery goods are now on hand. A special line of cakes and cookies for school children in season, while a Dellacitessen menu will tempt all.

Mrs. Lulu Bright, 2729 N. 7th St., Kansas City, Kansas To Whon It May Concern: For 18 years I have suffered with Concern, Kidney and Bladder troubles: I have taken treatments from many noted physicians, tried numbers of patent medicines up in despair of being cured when by chance one day two years ago a sample bottle of Moore's Vigorine was handed me. I tried it and found great improvement from the first few doses. I then tried it again, and took it still more marked improvement until now I feel that I am entirely well.

The subject of his evening ser- mon was “The Prayer that Gets Re- sults.” It was very inspiring, ‘The music was splendid, especially the solo sung by the sweet voiced singer whom we so gladly welcome into our midst in the person of Mrs. R.

Association Park held 3,000 baseball enthusiasts last Sunday who journeyed out to witness the double header, but particularly to see Jack Johnson's Topeka Giants make their initial bow in this city, and the Sun has no hesitancy in saying that they were well repaid for their trip. The first game was between the Elliots and the Chelsea Parks, two white teams, and it was a scrap and a wrangle from the first to the tenth inning. And it was 5 o'clock before the Giants made their appearance upon the diamond, but when they did appear they set the grandstand afire with enthusiasm by a most amusing but skillful display of shadow baseball. Darkness stopped the game at the end of the sixth inning with a score of 6-3 in favor of the Giants. They easily demonstrated that the Elliots, their opponents, were not in their class. No doubt, when they meet the All Nations it will bring to gether the greatest crowd that has been seen at the park since Rube Foster's American Giants. RULING ON NEGRO TROOPS. To Be Organized in Separate Units and Train Where Raised. Washington, Sept. 10—Negro troops of the national army will be organized in separate units, as is done in the regular army, and so far as possible will be trained in the states where they are raised. The call for Negroes to mobilize at their camps will be postponed to allow the officers at the camp to arrange for the organization of these separate units. Both white men and Negroes of the selective forces will be given an opportunity to volunteer for service in the battalions of troops for service on the line of communication, their work being military but not combatants. However, there will be Negro fighting regiments of the national army as there are of the regulars and national guard. Secretary Baker outlined this policy of the war department today in a statement dealing with the method to be followed in the organization and training of Negroes liable to draft under the national army act. Presumably the Negro regiments of the regular army and the National Guard will be retained, as they are fighting units. Betty & Sam's Little Corner A THEY SAY —That a suit of clothes and a big feeling won't get you anywhere. —That she's just over the hill, boys.

D. market. —That a certain thrifty housewife is canning everything she can get hold of, even canning lettuce. What in the world is she going to do with it? —That those Negro business houses who are too shiftless and trifling to wash their windows and sweep their sidewalks deserve to fail. Amen and amen! —That a Negro came here from Oklahoma to locate with $2,000 cash in his possession and what do you think he did with it? He was offered a five-room cottage on a thirty-foot lot for $1,850, but instead he paid $1,650 for an automobile and rented an apartment at $20 a month. Oh, you Colored people! That a certain dude went to the barber shop, paid 15 cents for a shave, 35 cents for a hair cut, 35 cents for a shampoo, 35 cents for a massage, and tipped the barber 15 cents and the porter a dime and then went to a Greek lunch stand on the corner and had him wrap up a pig foot and a piece of liver to take home to his family for supper. Some sport, eh? In these up-to-date times one must be very progressive to submit to the public something which can satisfy the most fastidious, and in booking The LaSalle Company's "Step Lively," their latest and best song and dance show, the manager feels that he has secured an attraction that will more than please his patrons. This company is scheduled for an appearance at the Garden Theatre for one week, commencing with a matinee next Sunday. It is composed of the best talent obtainable, among whom are the cleverest singers, dancers and funny comedians that have ever graced the local boards. In picking the chorus, special attention has been paid to the voices of those engaged so that the proper blending of same could be obtained. With "Step Lively" slap stick comedy has been eliminated and the comedy now offered contains matter that provokes nothing but hearty laughter.

Whether he is actually lonely or not, none of us knows. But it is a well-known fact in Washington that never has the White gayety. President Taft and President Roosevelt were always surrounded by a host of luncheon guests. Secretary Baker has been at luncheon once with President Wilson since the war began, and Colonel House perhaps twice. Other guests there have been none. Dinners at the White House are almost unknown. Only the most formal diplomatic dinners have been held there in the past six months. Dinner guests are few and generally immediate members of the Wilson family. Time was when the White House grounds were always full of White House guests. Now occasionally one sees Baby McAdoo playing under the trees; but other than this child, the grounds are deserted. Each week the president attends the theater. Always his box is filled with the same people—Mrs. Wilson, Doctor Grayson and perhaps one or two other attaches. Perhaps it is his studious nature which seeks seclusion, but the name, "The Lonely Man in the White House," outwardly seems fitting. Crowds of "Undesirables" Throng the Capital Crowds of "Undesirables" Throng the Capital PERHAPS you have heard of the "gimmeguy." He is a peculiar animal, but not at all rare. He is of the male sex and talks in terms of the word "gimme." It is always either "gimme a match," or "gimme a cigarette." is the youth who doesn't want to go to war. He has come to Washington in herds looking for a governmental position which will exempt him from the draft. Compensation doesn't matter; what he wants is to keep out of war. Then there is the great hordes of men who have come to get fat government contracts. Any day at ten in the morning you can find half a hundred important-looking men, guarding fat bundles of documents, waiting at the doors of the state, war and navy buildings in hopes of getting in to see someone that can give them a contract. They range from the man who has come to offer the government lumber for cantonments to the youth who wants to sell the army all its belt buckles. Women haven't been missing in the "get-me" class, either. There are great numbers of young girls and women who have come to the capital to get positions. They are willing to fill the places of men who can go to war, but most of them have found the conditions of work altogether too strentuous and they are thinning out rapidly. Unfortunate Washingtonians Pine for Amusements Unfortunate Washingtonians Pine for Amusements "PAINTING the town red" or "Making the rounds," can't be done in Washington. There is an amusement famine here. The war and the flood of business that has come with it to this city have caught the amusement dancing is allowed. Roof gardens are limited to three, two of which are private. Summer theaters—there are none. What does one do? There is just one popular Washington amusement for summer. Soon after dinner, just at twilight, the Washingtonian who wants to keep cool and have diversion hies himself to the nearest cabast. Here he charters an "open-face" hack, such as passed out in every other city with the advent of the automobile. Lounging back in the cushions the pleasure seeker orders "River drive," and away he goes for his night of fun. "Clickety clack" and "cluggety clug," the horses patter around the River drive. Hundreds of vehicles pass down the banks of the Potomac in an endless stream. The moon peers out from behind a cloud, and the lights on the opposite bank glimmer across the stream. It is surely a beautiful sight, but it is small amusement for the man who is striving hard to forget the war for the evening and wants to have his mind running full of "raggedy melodies." Washington offers the greatest opportunity in the world at the present time for a refined Coney Island. His Wild "Joy Ride" Brought to a Sudden End His Wild "Joy Ride" Brought to a Sudden End EVER since they placed those four large buffaloes on the Q street bridge there has been a question regarding just what kind of animals they are. Some say their faces are too long. Some say their amiable and rather dull our midst. A policeman sauntering along toward the bridge one night was attracted by a man who was spurring one of the buffalos. The man was full astride his mount and going like the wind—at least he thought so. He was plying phantom whip like mad and making noise enough for a Cheyenne round-up.

A location for a home should be a site with a restful aspect. Home builders should persistently and seriously consider all of the numerous features entering into the situation and construction of a house which they themselves are to occupy. Very many problems of location and construction must be soiled even before excavations for a home are started. All members of the family which is to be the first occupant of the building should be privileged, in fact, they should be invited, to freely express their ideas as to proper location and construction, both as to type or architecture, and construction materials. Every requisite of those who are to occupy the house, every possibility and limitation should be carefully considered and decided upon before the site is chosen and before the plans are drafted. If part of the family goes to business each day it will be necessary to construct the home near a railway station or trolley line. If there are children of school age in the family it is imperative for the young folks' welfare to select a building site in a community with good schools and to locate the home within a reasonable distance of the school or schools which the children will attend. These and other details should be given careful consideration. TURNING SEWAGE INTO ASSET British City Shows How Profit Can Be Made by Scientific Handling of Waste Effluent. Through installation of modern sewerage and garbage disposal systems many cities of this country are securing valuable by-products from waste, but our municipalities could probably emulate to advantage the method adopted by an English city in creating an asset out of a waste effluent difficult of disposal, says the Manufacturers' Record. According to a statement in commerce reports by the United States consul at Bradford, England, that city recovers the grease in the sewage coming from many wool-washing and scouring establishments located there and turns it into a profitable by-product. This grease by-product is said to be of value in the leather-dressing trade and to some extent in branches of the textile industry. The sales of the recovered grease by the sewage works of the city of Bradford were reported to amount to $389,320 in 1916 at the present high price of $122 a ton, and it is estimated that for this year over $340,000 will be realized from this source, in addition to nearly $25,000 derived from the sale of manure or fertilizer made from the sludge left after the extraction of the grease. Because of the development of this by-product it is thought the Bradford sewage work will be self supporting in 1917. Danger in Municipal Pigs. One method of disposing of garbage is that adopted by many municipalities of feeding it to pigs. Approximately 10 per cent of the total collection in 1909, according to reports of cities of 30,000 and over, was handled in this manner. This may be a slight improvement over dumping it, but only for small places where the garbage can be handled before it decays. So serious a matter is this system that the state of Colorado has passed a law compelling all meat markets to state whether the pork sold by them was fed on untreated garbage. Another state board of health finds that of 1,000 hogs fed on city garbage, 33 per cent had tuberculosis. "The idea of eating garbage-fed pork is disgusting," says one mayor. The eating of it may be injurious. Hainault Forest. Hainault forest, where the London county council golf courses will be closed for the remainder of the war, bears a title that torments the antiquaries, some of whom have gone to Germany for a derivation. But "Hainault" is really a modern corruption of a word variously written "Hineholt" or "Henholt," which stands obviously for the Saxon hean-holt, meaning "worthless wood." This same name of "Hyneholt" was formerly borne by part of the royal forest near Colchester. Anciently Hainault forest comprised that portion of the great forest of Waltham which lay south and east of the River Ruding, and was administered by the same officials as Epping forest.—London Chronicle. Employers Build Homes for Workers. Employers Band Holmes for Workers Coincident with the change of the building trend toward manufacturing work, there is a tendency for corporations to build moderate priced houses for their employees. The obvious necessity of keeping labor stable and halting the roving tendency of employees at the present time undoubtedly has much to do with this movement. It is probable that the idea will be adopted more widely as the war progresses and labor stringency increases. What Well Dressed Women Will Wear THE MIRROR WITHIN HER OWN FOUR WALLS. Next to the tallored suit the afternoon dress takes its place as the most important element of success in the dressrobe, to be assembled in the fall. It has been made in such variety that a selection merits a great deal of attention. It appears in satin and in wool, with satin preponderating, and is more or less elaborate (if one can call any of the season's styles elaborate) according to the uses it is to be put to. Many of the new models are entirely of satin, with even the lovely and beloved crepe georgette in sleeves and bodice replaced by satin. But crepe is not entirely banished and is not likely to be. It is too valuable an asset to the designers of gowns and too becoming to their wearers to lose favor. A satin gown appears in the picture made with a tunic partly of satin and partly of embroidery, which has the appearance of beading, made by applying a tiny silk cord wound with a THE HAT THE MAD HATTERS SOFT VELVET HATS FOR MISSES. minute silver band in a pattern to fabrics of any kind. It is particularly good on gray, taupe, black and dark blue. A trace of the tonneau idea remains in the skirt of this gown, which is cut to flare out at the hips. The long sleeves are of plain crepe and the bodice and upper part of the tunic of satin and of crepe with the new embroidery. The lines are almost straight, with an inconspicuous and soft girdle of satin, playing hide and seek with the embroidered crepe on the bodice. Measured by present standards, this gown may be called elaborate. A cluster of silk and chenille flowers on the bodice do their part toward brightening its dignified color, which is taupe, might be dark blue or gray or black with equally good effect. Even the little miss of eleven (or more) years may be happy in the possession of a velvet hat this winter, for those who make it their business to look after her needs in headwear have gone in for velvet. The soft crowns and soft brims of the new shapes make just the kind of headwear for little girls; flopping brims and big puffed crowns that belong to youth. Velvets in black, dark brown and other dark colors make up a large part of winter illinery for misses. For trimming, heavy ribbons, silk cord and tassels, fur ornaments and bandings, are featured with ribbon in the lead and used in many ways. The three hats shown in the group printed above are representative types among velvet hats for girls. The picturesque model at the left is much like the familiar old favorites, in leghorn and other straws, with broad, floppy brims that have always belonged to youth. But the crown and brim are both softer than those of its prototypes. It is of black velvet bound with grosgrain ribbon and has a small fur ornament at the front. The hat at the right is merely a large puff of velvet over a narrow drooping brim, bound with ribbon. It has a collar, and long ends at the back of grosgrain ribbon. The small hat at the center has a collapsible crown, mounted on a narrow, upturned brim. The head supports the crown, which is weighted at one side with a silk cord and tassel. The edge of the brim is bound with narrow grosgrain ribbon. These hats represent the ideas of people who specialize in this particular kind of millinery. They seem very A simple, but the hand and eye of the experienced designer is evident in all of them. Julia Bottomly Novel Designs.

Novel Designs: HOME-READING COURSE for CITIZEN-SOLDIERS Issued by the War Department and All Rights to Reprint Reserved YOUR POST OF HONOR. You have been called to serve as a soldier in the national army, because that is one of your obligations as a citizen of the United States. The citizens of a republic must always be ready in the hour of need to leave their homes and take up arms in defense of their rights and principles. Otherwise the republic could not long continue to exist. The men who now enter military service deserve the gratitude and respect of their fellow citizens. You are doubtless making a heavy sacrifice in order to perform this duty to your country. Hundreds of thousands of other young men and their families are face to face with similar sacrifices. All our citizens will sooner or later be called upon, each to bear his or her share of the burden. Men and women, rich and poor, alike must do whatever is necessary and must give up whatever is necessary. For no personal interests or feelings can be permitted to stand in the way at a time when the safety and honor of the country are at stake. As a citizen-soldier you are chosen for a post of special distinction. America is justly proud of the soldiers of the past who have won for us the rights today denied and put in serious danger by the high-handed attacks of the German government. America will be no less proud of you. Your personal responsibility is great. As warfare today is conducted, the individual soldier counts for more than ever before. Your own skill and bravery, no matter how humble your rank, may easily be important factors in deciding whether an engagement is to be won or lost. You cannot depend upon anyone else to carry this personal responsibility for you, you must depend upon yourself. Americans are well-fitted to meet this test. During the Civil war, at the battle of Antietam, the Seventh Maine infantry lay, hugging the ground, under a furious storm of shot and shell. Private Knox, who was a wonderful shot, asked leave to move nearer the enemy. For an hour afterwards his companions heard his rifle crack every few minutes. His commanding officer finally, from curiosity, "crept forward to see what he was doing, and found that he had driven every man away from one section of a Confederate battery, tumbling over gunner after gunner as they came forward to fire. At the end of an hour or so, a piece of shell took off the breech of his pet rifle, and he returned disconsolate; but after a few minutes he gathered three rifles that were left by wounded men and went back again." In the Confederate armies individual soldiers were no less skillful, cool and brave. Tales of heroic courage can be found in the annals of all armies and of all nations. Other things being equal, an army made up of self-reliant, thinking men has a great advantage over a merely machine-like army, and this is especially true in present-day warfare. A second tradition of the American army, which need only be mentioned, is that of fighting fairly and treating even the enemy with as much humanity as his own conduct will permit. As for slaughtering or enslaving the civilian population of captured territory, attacking prisoners or assaulting women, American soldiers would as little commit such crimes in time of war as in time of peace. There is a third splendid tradition of the American army which you will help to carry forward. It has fought always and everywhere in defense of principles and right—never merely for territory and for power. Even the Civil war resulted from the clash of opposing principles—the principle of an indivisible Union upheld by the North, and that of freedom to withdraw from the Union upheld by the South. To protect the rights of citizens, the American people have several times opposed tyrannical governments—the English government in 1776 and 1812, the French government for a short period in 1798, the Mexican government in 1848, the Spanish government in 1898. The final effect in each case has been to advance the cause of liberty and democracy throughout the world, even in the countries against which we fought. Our weapons have not willingly been turned against any peoples, but only against the rulers who misgoverned and misled them. In fighting for our own rights, the American army has fought also, in President Wilson's phrase, for the "rights of mankind." For a like high purpose, the American people have entered into the present war against the German government—a government which in our belief misrepresents and misleads the German people. Only by so doing can we make America and the world "safe for democracy." But one ending can be thought of—an ending that will guarantee the continuance of all those principles and rights which the American army has in the past so nobly fought to establish. Never lose sight, even for an instant, of the fact that all of your training, your efforts, and your sacrifices have this one great object in view, the attainment of which is worth anything it may cost. MAKING GOOD AS A SOLDIER. The national army, in which you have taken your place, truly expresses the American character and ideals. It is a great democratic army. It includes men of all degrees of wealth and education, chosen through fair and open selection by lot. All are brought together on terms of equality. There has been and there will be in this great national army no favoritism and no "pull." The poor man will drill side by side with the man who has been raised in luxury. Each will learn from the other. The place each man makes for himself will be determined by his own work and ability. The commissioned officers of the first contingent are picked men who have voluntarily gone through the hardest kind of training. The officers of later contingents will be drawn largely from the men enlisted in the first contingents. There is plenty of opportunity here for every man to use his brains and his energy and to earn promotion according to his worth. In order to make good in the National army you must, first of all, fit yourself to carry with credit the simple title of "American Citizen-Soldier"—one of the proustest titles in the world. This means that you must develop in yourself the qualities of a soldier. The more quickly and thoroughly you cultivate them, the greater will be your satisfaction and success. There is very little real difference of opinion as to soldierly qualities. They have been determined by ages of experience. There are three basic qualities, without which no man can be a real soldier even though he may temporarily wear a uniform. They are: Loyalty. Obedience. Physical fitness. A man without these qualities is in the way and is a source of weakness to an army, both in the camp and on the field of battle. The articles of war in the United States set forth the military crimes which are punishable by heavy penalties. Among these crimes are deserion, cowardice, insubordination, drunkenness while on duty, sleeping while on duty as a sentinel, disclosing the watchword, and giving aid or comfort to the enemy. Run over this list and you will see that every one of these military crimes can result only from the absence of one or more of the three basic qualities of a soldier. A soldier's loyalty governs, first of all, his feelings and actions toward his country, his government and his flag. There can be no such thing as half-way loyalty. The slightest compromise opens the door to treason. But a soldier's loyalty does not stop here. It governs also his feelings and actions toward the army and toward all the officers under whom he serves. It absolutely forbids disobedience among both officers and enlisted men, or disrespect toward those in authority. Going a step farther, loyalty governs also the soldier's feelings and actions toward his own regiment, his own company and his own squad. Without this form of loyalty there can be no real comradeship; without it you will never feel that personal pride and satisfaction in the service which should mean so much in your army life. The second of the soldier's basic qualities is obedience, based-on discipline. Without obedience and discipline an army cannot long continue to exist; it will quickly degenerate into an armed mob. As the infantry drill regulations put it, discipline is "the distinguishing mark of trained troops." Frequently the recruit, with his inborn dislike of being bossed, makes the mistake during his first few weeks in the army of resenting the fact that immediate and unquestioning obedience is required of him. He quickly learns, however, that obedience enforced throughout the army is in all situations the chief safeguard of the rights, the comfort and the safety of every man, from the raw recruit to the commanding general. It is a guarantee that the small number of unruly or cowardly men to be found in every group shall be kept in check and forced to comply with rules made for the benefit of all. Military discipline is always impersonal. Obedience is required not merely of you, but of every man in the army. It is required of officers by their superiors with fully as much strictness as it is required of you. It will become your duty, whenever you are given authority over other men, to demand from them the same full measure of obedience that others will require of you. Discipline is not only essential in developing the army, but also in developing your own character as a soldier. "The soldier who is by nature brave, will by discipline become braver." The third basic quality, physical fitness, is so essential that a large part of the time devoted to your training will be spent in building it up. Physical fitness includes not only muscular development but good health and endurance as well. It is a quality which every man who passes the physical examinations can develop in himself by reasonable care and by obedience to instructions. This is a subject more fully discussed in a later lesson. Joe's Menagerie By F. L. HENDERSON (Copyright, by W. G. Chapman.) "For land's sake! what is that man bringing home this time?" projected Mrs. Huldah Green and hurried to the door to find out. She was the mother-in-law of good-natured Joe Beamish, and because she recognized and appreciated the fact that her son-in-law of five years was just that, they had got along famously. "She knows I'm a harum-scarum, ir-responsible piece of humanity." Joe was wont to chuckle to his familiar, "but she likes me and I count it a double blessing to have won the daughter and the mother at the same time. I coaxed her to rent out the old farm where she lived and come with us, and I wouldn't have her leave us for a fortune." So, with Joe and his mother-in-law strictly friendly and harmonious and Mollie the happiest little wife and daughter in the world, they were an ideal family. Joe had his feelings, or rather his fads. He had rented a 20-acre farm and was making a fair living out of it, but nothing more. Nothing more, because he invested his surplus in pets. Joe was born to love nature and all her marvelous works, particularly dumb creatures. His team of horses were treated like fellow humans. There were half a dozen dogs and double that number of cats at the Beamish farm. As to his chickens, there was scarcely a week that Joe did not add some new species of duck, hen or gander to his already populous brood. He had to cart his product 20 miles to market and this gave him a wide range to select from. Such investments used up his surplus, took up his time and meant considerable in the way of care and feeding of his motley aggregation. The limit was reached when Joe began on an actual menagerie basis. One day he appeared, buoyant and triumphant, with a crate on the old farm wagon containing a great, placid, but cumbersome bear. He passed a delightful week in rigging up comfortable quarters for his new accession. The following week he added two silver-tailed foxes to his list. "I've struck it rich!" he announced grandly, a month later. "Go out, mother and Mollie, and look at the two cages in the wagon. Lion in one and a genuine royal Bengal tiger in the other. Don't be afraid—the lion is toothless and the tiger old and gentle as a kitten." "But, Joe," remonstrated Mollie, "what in the world do we want them for?" "That's so," nodded Joe soberly. "I never thought of that. They were selling out a stranded circus and I felt sorry for the poor critters; they went cheap, and—oh, I like to have them around. Just as I do you!" shouted the light-hearted fellow, seizing his mother-in-law and giving her a swing and a kiss. "I suppose it will be a camel or a rhinoceros this time!" observed Mollie on the present occasion, as she crowded to the door after her mother. "He's capped the climax!" gasped Mrs. Green, and both started in wonder. Hitched to the wagon by a chain and clumsily keeping up with its progress was an elephant. It was scarred and aged. One ear resembled a tattered sail. Its tusks had been sawed off short and it was minus an eye, but it was an elephant, and, stringing after it were half a dozen village children, taking in this great free menagerie treat. "The bargain of my life," announced Joe enthusiastically to the two dazed women. "A bill poster took old Romeo for a debt, but the animal was eating its head off and he could not afford to keep it." "Then how can you?" ventured Mrs. Green mildly. "Oh! we've got a farm and can raise its feed." Alackaday! not for long. The inevitable developed. At the end of the season Joe was unable to pay up his lease. Two cereal crops failed. The future loomed ominously. There was a week of anxiety and uncertainty. Then the great blow fell. The owner of the farm found a new tenant. "Don't be discouraged, Joe, dear," soothed mother-in-law. "We'll just go back to my old farm and begin all over again." "Yes, but the animals," remarked Joe pathetically. "Give up that fad and get down to practical work, son," suggested Mrs. Green. "You must sell off everything except the furniture and that like. Mollie and I will go on to Moorside and get the old place in trim for you." It took Joe a week to make all due arrangements. It was when he came to the animals that he found himself all at sea. No one would buy his royal Bengal tiger, nobody wanted Romeo. It looked as though he would either have to abandon his menagerie, or turn its members adrift. He advertised in the city papers, but no clients came. He was living alone at the old place, but was due to report at Moorside in three days. Daily he fed and petted his animal friends. He had almost decided to lead them to Moorside and brave the decision of his mother-in-law, when one morning two automobiles came swinging around a bend in the road. They were filled with pretty girls and smart-looking men, laughing and singing, taking in life in its fullness. The evident leader of the group halted the advance machine, leaped out and walked to where Joe was cutting up some feed. "Can you give me a pitcher of water and a glass?" inquired the stranger. "The ladies out yonder are thirsty." "All our kitchen ware is gone. We're moving," explained Joe, "but I can give you a bucket and a thump." "Grand!" voted the man, and when he carried the water to the road Joe stood quite enraptured as the strains of "The Old Oaken Bucket" rang out. Then he stared as a saucy-faced damsel came rushing past him with an: "Oh, mister! a real ostrich!" and she sped for the Inclosure where she had made out that member of Joe's household pets. Out from the machines there came piling the others. They massed about the inclosures that held bear, lion, tiger, elephant and the rest of the animals. They drowned out the clatter of the fowls with their excited and delighted appreciation of this extraordinary discovery of a menagerie in this unexpected quarter of the world. "Say, friend," spoke the leader of the noisy visitors, "what you got here, anyway, and how did you come to get it?" Joe told. There was a shade of sadness in his tones as he came to the calamity phase in his nature-loving experience. All the others had crowded about to listen to the unpretentious and pathetic narration. "Why," exclaimed a bright-eyed miss of the party, "it's like a movie romance." "Moorside," repeated the leader of the group, "why, that is near where we are building a movie studio. See here, I've got a big idea!" The "big idea" was to buy the whole menagerie outfit, for these were movie A man in a hat stands in front of a cage, looking at a tiger inside. A monkey is inside the cage. He Found Himself All at Sea. people, and engaged in that industry in a pretentious way. A bargain was struck. "Isn't it wonderful!" jubilated Joe to wife and mother-in-law on his arrival at Moorside a little later. "I got six thousand dollars for my collection and half that a year to ride once to the studio grounds each day and see that the animals are well cared for. Just to think of it!-they won't be starved or ill treated. You see, folks, my menagerie fad hasn't turned out so bad an investment, after all!" LED HIM TO THE SLAUGHTER Chorus Girl Neatly "Worked" Admirer When They Went to Buy Her Diamond Brooch. In "My Own Past," by Maude Foulkes, the authoress tells some good stories of her experiences as a chorus girl. One of the best concerns a girl whose rather mean-minded admirer had at last been persuaded to make her a present of a diamond brooch. "Something simple for me," she told him. "I hate clusters and twirls." "Well, dear, I admire your taste. Something simple let it be," answered the careful lover. "I've been thinking," said the artless girl, "how nice it would be to have my name made into a brooch. Will you go with me and order one? "He came like a bird," she told her appreciative audience in the dressing-room, "and I chose a fine brooch—nice large stones, too." "Well, I never!" cried an amazed listener. "Fancy that! But your name is so short; it couldn't have cost much. You were a fool, Ida." "My name wasn't 'Ida' in Bond street," said the young lady demurely. "I asked him to let me wear the name by which mother called me before I went on the stage. "And what is that, darling? he asked. "Gwendoline,' I said, "but, girls, I tell you that I didn't dare look at him when I said it." Easy Payments. Too Tom—Justwed claims everything in his house is right up to the minute.

To 12 pounds of the fruit pulp add six pounds of light brown sugar, three teaspoonfuls of ground cinnamon, two teaspoonfuls of ground allspice and one teaspoonful of cloves. Cook until thick, stirring often. Grape Juice. Wash the grapes well, just cover with cold water and let simmer until the juice seems to be well extracted. Then strain through a jelly glass and add a cupful of sugar to each quart of strained juice. Put on fire and bring to the boiling point, bottle and seal in well-sterilized receptacles, and the juice will be perfect after a year in the cellar. Take a basket of perfectly ripe Concord grape, six Duchess or other apples which cook quickly, and with a little water to keep them from scorching, cook until the juice is extracted. Then drain and to each cupful of juice add two cupfuls of sugar. Stir until every grain of sugar is dissolved and turn into glasses. This makes a jelly that tastes like fresh grape juice. Be sure to try it. Nellie Maxwell BOOK FOR FIGHTERS President Wilson Urges Soldiers to Read Bible, Key to Own Heart. Bibles for American soldiers and sailors, to be given by the Scripture Gift mission of Philadelphia, will carry a foreword by President Wilson urging the troops to read the Scriptures diligently. The president has written this inscription: "The Bible is the word of life. I beg that you will read it and find this out for yourselves—read, not little snatches here and there, but long passages that will really be the road to the heart of it. "You will find it full of real men and women not only, but also of things you have wondered about and been troubled about all your life, as men have been always; and the more you read the more it will become plain to you what things are worth while and what are not; what things make men happy—loyalty, right-dealings, speaking the truth, readiness to give everything for what they think their duty, and, most of all, the wish that they may have the real approval of the Christ, who gave everything for them—and things that are guaranteed to make men unhappy—selfishness, cowardice, greed, and everything that is low and mean. "When you have read the Bible you will know that it is the word of God, because you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness, and your own duty. "WOODROW WILSON."

They are less bother than chickens, not requiring such varied feeding, and a fence two feet high will keep them where you wish them to stay, says one writer. They will not dig up the garden, never fly up onto anything, and are never troubled with lice or bowel troubles as are chickens. You can feed them the same kind of feed from the fifth day after they hatch until they are full grown, which they will be in 10 or 12 weeks. Do not feed the young ducklings until they are 36 hours old, taking particular pains to see that they are kept dry and warm. It is not desirable to try to raise them with hens, as they step on so many of them and the ducks are even worse to raise them with. Brooders are much less bother and will raise a larger per cent of them. For the first five days feed breed crumbled and moistened with milk, American Boy Tells Efforts to Save Wounded Under Fire The following letter was written by Robert Redfield, Jr., a University of Chicago student, who went to France to serve in the ambulance corps and who is in the section awarded the Croix de Guerre. The letter was written to his family: "I know there is certainly no way that in writing I can give you any idea of the experiences I have passed through and the things I have seen. I might just as well confine my remarks to 'I am well and confine you are the same.' "At present I am writing on a hardwood table under an electric desk lamp. I am within a few hundred yards of the German trenches, and hell is loose above me. But here it is perfectly quiet; I am three stories below ground in a sort of catacomb. Here I wait till my car is needed. The air is fresh but somewhat damp; the place is dark, cluttered with stretches; brancardferds pass in and out. Must Forget All Feeling. "Across the table sits an officer at a telephone switchboard. Every little while—perhaps once every five minutes—men come in by the communication trenches, bearing silent, dirty, bloody lumps. They are carried under acetylene lights in a small room in the second cellar and the surgeons slit the filthy woolen and begin their work. "I am surprised at the excellent control I have over my nerves. This afternoon I opened a box of sardines, carefully spread the fish on a hunk of bread, and ate the light lunch with relish while the priest heard confession from a torn and crushed ghastly thing beneath which the red patch grew and grew in spite of the lint bandages. I know it sounds heartless, but one has to develop the faculty of giving opiates to one's sympathetic reactions. "It is only afterwards that I remember these horrors and shudder—a man with face torn away; a shameful animal thing out of which came a slight, indescribable sound; a man suffering from shell shock, mind gone, every muscle of his body crawling, crawling. But enough of that. "Well, if I am 'on deck' and they have a load of wounded ready, I emerge from the quiet cavern into a world where the sky is shattered, split, sundered by report after report. The earth shakes and quivers. Airplanes above, 75's below, German artillery over the hill, mitralilleuse, whining shrapnel, the shriek of shells passing above—a hell of noises. "Somehow Eames and I start the engine; we receive our freight of wounded; we are off, at first through gilding a heaping tablespoonful of sharp, sifted sand. After the fifth day feed one and a half pounds of middlings, one and a half pounds of chop, three pounds of bran and one and a half pounds of sifted sharp sand, well mixed, and a small amount at a time wet up into a crumbly mash. Never feed only what they will clean up in ten minutes, three times a day, always giving fresh water when you feed them, and be very sure that none of the feed is dry or they will choke to death. CREMATE DEAD FOWLS. The average amateur poultry raiser has a handy spot in some corner of his yard for burying dead chicks and fowls. Their alliment may be roup, cholera, gapes, or any other contagious disease, yet when the bodies are buried or thrown into the compost heap the poultryman considers his duty well done. The careless burial of victims of any contagious disease is a crime against the living. In the poultry yard it is well to remember that earthworms work unceasingly, disintegrating the soil and bringing disease germs to the surface. Cremation of all fowls that die is the best plan. Fire is called "the great destroyer," for there is no chance for contagion from ashes. Fowls may be cremated in any kind of a furnace or stove. Simply wrap the body in paper saturated with coal oil, and it will burn fiercely and sometimes not leave even a bone. There is no odor or unpleasantness about such a process, and surely it is less labor than digging holes for burial. In the summer one may make a small outdoor cremation with a few bricks and an old, burned-out grate. On Foot. Sir Gold goes by in his motor car, I trump the road and take his dust; But a friendly wind from the hills afar is in away, with a laughing gust. Sir Gold goes by in his motor car, But let me follow the winding way That leads to the hills and the stream That leads to the hills and the streams I know. Where the birches bend and the fisher play. He has not seen in the sheltered nook. The winddower swing on the threadlike skiff. He never knows how the fern lends look. Nor listens to jack-in-the-pulpit's talk. And where the orole's nest is swung. A web of dreams against the sky—Precious and sweet with her eager young. Blind and stupid he rushes by. Well, let him go if he likes the race. So long as he leaves the road behind; In spite of his speed he has lost the race. The tingling zest the foot-wise find. Ho! Ho! I laugh at his sorry flight. A speeding slave, when he might be free trees In God's green weather of sweet delight, On the good brown road, attramp with me. —George Edward Day. the narrow, cluttered streets of a place where a town once was. Then we dip into a stretch of road marked on our maps 'unavoidably dangerous.' It is about three-quarters of a mile long. Up the valley we can see the German positions. "You can imagine that we don't stop to pick wild flowers on this place Bang, bang, whine, crash everywhere. In spite of the souls in agony behind us, in spite of piteous 'doucements' and 'pas si vites,' we tear madly down this stretch with every ounce of power the car has. Once safe around the corner we go slowly, until we deliver our load at the hospital. Shells Hit Three Cars. "Three of our cars have been hit by eclats; two put temporarily out of commission. One car hit a new shell-hole two nights ago and tipped over. The driver left the car to find a telephone, and when he returned he found a shell had passed through the driver's seat. "I have no hatred of the Germans. Somehow I am beyond that. Even when they came down in airplanes on our hospital the other night, and with bombs killed and wounded 14, including nurses, I could not summon hatred—only horror, and wonder. "On one trip down from the Poste de Secours I carried a half dozen French doctors of importance and one wounded man, a 'couche' of considerable interest. He was a Prussian first lieutenant, the highest officer taken in the recent attack. After lying in the trenches for a day he was brought in with the remaining French wounded. When we unloaded him I addressed him in German: 'Guten morgen, Herr Lieutenant, we befinden Sie sich?' He answered in German, but I soon discovered that he spoke excellent English. I had only admiration for him; he had such magnificent control over himself. Victim Betrays No Pain "He lay there on his stretcher, on the ground, in the center of a ring of questioning Frenchmen. One leg was badly torn; his face, with thin, straight nose, thin, colorless lips and wide, intellectual eyes, betrayed no pain or any emotion. As he answered the questioners in his beautiful, flawless French, he took off his round shell-rimmed glasses, and with a piece of rag cleaned them with meticulous care, settling them back on his ears. It was quite a sight. "I am 'en repos' now for two days. Then I shall have two days of the safe and easy work of evacuation; then two more of repose. This is good, after 48 hours' duty at the Poste de Seours." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. B. FITZWATER, in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). Bible Institute of Chicago. (Copyright, 1917, Western newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 16 THE FIERY FURNACE. LESSON TEXT—Daniel 3. LESSON 10 TEXT-DM188 3. GLESSON 11 TEXT-DM188 3. How walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shalt the flame kindle upon thee.—Isaiah 48:2. 1. The Occasion (vv. 1-7). The fact that God said to Nebuchadnezzar, "Thon art this head of gold" (2:38) was too much for him. Though he appeared to have been deeply impressed with Daniel's God, his pride got the better of him. As he grew great and became conscious of it, he grew proud. This moved him to set up a colossal idol of gold in the Plain of Dura to be worshipped by all the people of his realm. It was an attempt at self-definition. It combined with it a political move, the object of which was to weld together the various kingdoms and peoples into one homogeneous body. He inaugurated a religious festival, and called upon all the people to worship the image which he set up. He backed this demand by civil authority. The penalty for refusal to bow down and worship the image was to be cast into the burning fiery furnace. Imposing images are set up in many places, and men and women are being called upon to bow down and worship them. Some of these images are money, fashion, scholarship, worldly ambition, pleasures, etc., and wee to be those who will not worship before them. II. The Behavior of the Hebrews (vv. 8-18). (1) the accusation by the envious spies (vv. 8-12). Daniel's three friends had been promoted to positions of honor and responsibility. Certain Chaldeans whose envy had been excited by the promotion of these Hebrews, sought occasion against them. This they found when the Hebrews would not bow down to and worship the image. Envious eyes are always watching God's faithful ones. Had these Chaldeans been faithfully worshiping, they would not have seen the Hebrews. (2) The king's rage (vv. 13-15). (2) The king's sage (Vv. 13-18). He calls the Hebrews before him, questions them and gives them another chance. The offense was not serious—they were defying the authority of the one who had honored them in their promotion; it savored of ingratiance. After closely questioning them he gave them another opportunity to consider their position before consigning them to the fire. His supreme mistake was in the challenge he made to the God of the Hebrews. He seems to have forgotten entirely the confession he had made with reference to God (2:47). (3) The courageous reply of the faithful Hebrews (vy. 16-18). They replied without passion or fear. The peace of God filled their hearts. Their behavior is an expression of triumphant faith. "We are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up." They courageously showed their contempt for death. They were not afraid to die, but were afraid to sin against God. They knew that to down before this image was to disobey and dishonor God. While they did not know what God would do, in the premises they knew that he would do the right thing. These Hebrews were far away from home, exposed to the most severe temptation, but they saw their duty clearly set before them. God's law plainly settled it for them. They did not try to find an excuse to evade their duty, and seeing the way clearly they acted accordingly. III. The Glorious Issue (vv. 19-30). (1) The harmless furnace (vv. 19-25). The infuriated king ordered the heat of the furnace to be intensified, his most mighty men to bind the Hebrews and fling them into the fire. Though the heat was so intense that the soldiers who cast them into the furnace were slain, the Hebrews were seen walking loose in the fire without any hurt. Equally astounding was the fact that a fourth one was seen with them. (2) The convinced king (vv. 26-28). The spectacle was so wonderful that the king called the Hebrews together out of the fire. They came forth unharmed, for the fire had no power over their bodies; not even a hair of their heads was singed, their coats changed, nor the smell of fire upon them (v. 27). (3) The king's decree (v. 29). This was most foolish and wicked. Even a king has no right to kill people for not worshiping God. (4) Promotion of the Hebrews (v. 30). Their fidelity in this trying ordeal resulted in their promotion instead of downfall. May we learn from this that: (a) God alone is Lord of the conscience. One's faith and worship should be determined by the individual before his God. No church, king or ruler has a right to interfere. (b) We should meet religious intolerance by being obedient to God rather than man. (c) God will support those who are faithful. (d) We should prepare for fiery trials, and through them all be true to our conscience. Amateur Farmer Had Had Enough of Seeking to Coax a Living From the Soil A man stood on the center of a cultivated quarter acre, a scuffle hoe in his hand. Before him stretched an army of beets, their files joined with a growth of weeds, evil and insinuating, like Maximalists. Two months ago this man had had the Kerensky spirit, but the weeds seemed too much for him now. Every shower brought up new batches of them. Behind him long rows of lettuce were going to seed. On his right the hills of potatoes, fertilized, hoed and sprayed, now were wilting before their time under a blight as mysterious and unfair as poison gas. The heat rolled up the garden slope like the gray waves at Verdun, but irresistibly. Over in a neighbor's field it seemed to scorch the stubble, yet kept enough moisture so that the hay would not cure. Up the hill by the house the lawn was uncut and bees roared as they fed on the flowers of the neglected privet hedge. Flies buzzed in the hot barn where the motor car lay idle. On the yellow, dusty road that led to Pickerel pond nothing stirred until the rural delivery carrier's horse showed his head above the hill, a silhouette against the burning blue sky. The grass in the orchard was high. It could be scythe and piled about the trees as a mulch, but for what immediate purpose when the peaches, victims of another blighting mystery, hung like mummies? A creaking of the well chain made the hoeman turn toward the house. The mall carrier had driven in to get drink for his horse and himself. He waved a letter to the man with the hoe. "Here it is!" he called out. "Here's your notice to report on the first call." Then he added, as if fearing to shock; "but you won't have to go. You're a farmer." The man whirled his hoe about his head like a hammer-thrower and sent it whizzing toward the barn. He looked about him at the travail of his field. "The devil I'm a farmer!" he shouted. "Give me that letter, quick."—New York Sun. Scots Hobnob With Australians. The peculiarly fraternal sentiment of the Indian Ghurka regiments toward the Highland corps has long ago been indicated by Kipling and was amply demonstrated again when the Ghurkas were in France. Quite as remarkable now is the warmth of comradeship that exists between the Scots and the Australians. They "draw to each other" like old school fellows, and in those bigger towns behind the lines to which soldiers at long intervals resort on a pass when the monotony and squalor of trench or billet life make certain towns as fascinating as a metropolis. Highland bonnets and Australian sombreros generally go about in pairs. Isolated Scots troops who find themselves just now in the extensive area where Australians dominate the landscape are assured of a welcome as hearty as if they were mascots, and the billy boils with an enthusiasm no other occasion would engender. "You see, we understand each other, the Jocks and us," say the Australians; "we have both the same idea of a joke." Royal Aviators. King Albert of Belgium has now added to his many experiences that of being the first monarch to make an airplane flight over hostile guns in action. So far the kaiser has confined his air exploits to a modest trip in a Zeppelin in peace time. His brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, also had a little flight with Count Zeppelin in pre-war days. Other prominent royalties who have been up in airships are King Victor Emmanuel of Italy and the queen of Sweden. In the English royal family several members made airplane flights when flying machines were novelties, notably Princes George and Albert of Battenberg and the Princess Louise of Battenberg. Prince Leopold of Battenberg even went so far as to loop the loop, his pilot being none other than Gustav Hammel. Prince Axel of Denmark is another royalty who risked his life aloft when airplanes were not nearly so safe as they are today. Architects for War Service An important work is being accomplished by the various state chapters of the American Institute of Architects in carrying out the request of the council of national defense that a census be obtained of architects willing to serve the government in the various departments where such technical services as they might offer would be useful. Each chapter is compiling a list in which every qualification of each man enrolled is set forth. By this very wise method we may be sure that every man that goes into the service will find work awaiting him for which he is best qualified, and we shall, it is to be hoped, be spared experiencing the unfortunate conditions that beset the profession in France and England during the early months of the war.—American Architect.
