MET ROOSEVELT Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter VOLUME X. NUMBER 5. WHIT HITH LAMENT OF THE SUMMER TOURIST. By Roscoe C. Jamison. I've had a time, a jolly time, Throughout the summer season, The days and weeks have been a rhyme Melodious. No reason Had I to think of anything That leads to pain or worry, But, oh, this rude awakening— O Days, why did you hurry? I now arise to grimly face, Each morn the fearful warning, And though I smile my nerve to brace, I dread each new day's dawning. What shall I do? What shall I do? You seem to think it funny. Summertime is almost through, And wintertime means money!

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1917. Carthage vs. Rome Carthage vs. Rome Students of history are conversant with the conditions and spirit that once existed and thrived in these two cities. Carthage had subdued and conquered nations and had become so despotic, lazy, indifferent, self-centered, full of caste and unpatriotic that she even hired her soldiers to fight the battles for the city. Rome was just the opposite: she was united, energetic and patriotic and all Romans considered it glorious and heroic to die in arms for their country. Consequently with the motto: "Carthago delenda est," the famous Roman military machine wiped Carthage and all it represented and typified off the map. Rome's success was due to her efficiency, which was the culmination of unity and teamwork and the proper regard for all the citizens of the imperial municipality. Carthage's defeat was due to inefficiency, caste ideas and practices, "big I" and "little you" doctrines, all having been brought about by its conglomerate population and the Carthaginians' unwillingness to "pay the price." Her slogan was: "Let George do it." No nation can hope to be victorious in any war or struggle where the different peoples or races composing same are averse to getting together. Racial prejudice, discrimination, jim-crowism, mob law, segregation and other evil practices indulged in by those in power upon a less fortunate race must be abolished and completely eradicated, if that nation expects to win in battle. If men, representing the same cause, go to war at dagger's point because of treatment accorded one race by the other while on their native hearth, how can the enemy be defeated? America is at war with Germany and all that Germany represents and despite that fact it appears that we have not yet found our bearings and are content to squabble over trivial matters and quietly muse to ourselves: "Let George do it!" Apparently some people think that when the American army reaches France the Germans will direct all their firing at jim-crow cars and camps of race men and permit those of the white race to go unharmed. Some argue that this is a war for world-wide democracy and then add that it is a white man's war and that Negroes should not be permitted to kill white men even in a war, when race men's destiny is as much at stake as other American citizens. Others are in favor of segregating race troops and placing the signs, "For Colored" or "Niggers' Place" on their camps at the battle front as well as the training camps. Then there are some who cling to the idea that the training and conditioning necessary for the white soldier is too good for the Negro soldier and despite the fact that both must face and fight the same antagonist. WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING? Do we really intend to fight and defeat Germany or are we grandstand playing? All the hullabaloo about training Negro soldiers in certain sections of the country is calculated to retard our military progress and make our chances of victory less certain. We are not united, and no disunited, bickering and prejudicial nation can defeat another nation whose people are united, whose soldiers are fighting in unison for one common cause and who have a oneness of purpose. The fellows who are prating the loudest and most vehemently about Negro soldiers will be the last men to offer their services for the government in this or any other similar crisis. This country is top-heavy with four-flushers, wind-jammers, pork-barrel statesmen, soap-box diplomats and ham-fat would-be military advisers. When it comes to fighting they believe in the second and third person, but never the first person. They spend all their time resolving, denouncing, expostulating, advising, criticising, but when real patriots are desired they are conspicuous by their absence. They yell and holler "nigger," but do they ever come to think that if they had enlisted like the Negroes did, conscription would have been unnecessary?

Race Men Meet Roosevelt The Distinguished Ex-President, whom Chairman Crews termed "Not the Greatest Living American only, but the Greatest Man Living in the World To-day," Graciously Received Delegation of Fourteen Representative Colored Men. GIVES A STIRRING MESSAGE His Final Utterance to the Delegation was: Be not weary in well doing; be patient but progressive; trust God but remember all things that are possible are not always expedient." A delegation of prominent Colored men, upon an invitation extended by Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, soldier, statesman, hunter and traveler and the greatest living figure in the world today, visited him at his stopping place while in this city last Monday at 3 p. m. at the palatial residence of Hon. I. R. Kirkwood, son-in-law of the late Colonel Wm. R. Nelson, founder and editor of the Kansas City Star, and were graciously received by both Colonel Roosevelt and his host, Mr. Kirkwood. After being ushered into the magnificent reception room of the Kirkwood residence, Mr. Nelson C. Crews, as the spokesman of the delegation, introduced the members of the party to the ex-President, and after an exchange of greetings briefly stated their pleasure in having this distinguished honor conferred upon them of being permitted to meet the distinguished guest, to express their confidence in him and to thank him for his manly and courageous stand for the race in the recent controversy with Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor at the recent clash in Carnegie Hall in New York City. Mr. Crews said that when Abraham Lincoln uttered those splendid words in which he said "Government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the e arth" he gave utterance to a lofty and magnificent sentiment, but when you. Colonel Roosevelt, gave utterance to that stirring sentiment, "All men up and no men down," you forever endeared yourself to every Negro beneath what ever flag he may live in the civilized world. Mr. Crews then presented Dr. Wm. H. Thomas, the scholarly and eloquent pastor of Allen Chapel, who briefly but eloquently stated the difficulties under which the race has labored, the struggles through which it was passing and the need of encouragement from strong and powerful friends, and in conclusion, said, "Mr. Roosevelt, give us a text—a theme—a message of inspiration to carry to our people and we shall feel that our mission has not been in vain." Colonel Roosevelt seemed to be deeply affected by the eloquent plea of Dr. Thomas, and though he gave visible evidence of fatigue, having just returned from the memorable banquet extended him by the commercial bodies of the city, yet he entered with the Roosevelt vim and spirit into a brief discussion of the conditions surrounding the Colored people, told how it was his intention if he had been permitted to organize a bridegale for service in France to have had one regiment of Colored men with Colonel Young in command of that regiment and all the officers Colored, and vehemently said "I would have expected every man from that regiment to have measured up to the highest possible standing, because I knew more would be expected of them than of other elements in my regiment, but as I was not permitted to organize that bridegale, I can only say to you: Be brave, be not weary in well doing, be patient but progressive; trust in God and respect your fellows; always remembering that all things which are possible are not always expedient. I thank you, gentlemen, for having paid me this call, and bid you tell your race that justice and right The Sun Goes to 36 States and Canada. Are Your Relatives and Friends Getting It? PRICE. 5c.

A STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC. In reference to the Street Fair and Carnival, I wish to announce that the same failed to take place as advertised owing to certain unforeseen difficulties. The Carnival Company with which we contracted failed us at the last moment owing to the fact that its eight c ar loads of carnival attractions could not be placed in the space allotted to us by the city council. However, we are working to secure a suitable carnival company. If we are successful, a street fair will start Monday in full blast. If not, a statement will be made through The Sun later. F. MIDDLETON ATTENTION GIRLS. A garment manufacturing Company in the city proposes for the first time to use colored girls. They wish girls who have at least gone through the ward schools; preferably girls who have gone into or through High school. In addition to steady employment, a trade can be learned. Clean work. Hours: 7:30 to 5:00 daily; off at one on Saturday. This is an opportunity for our girls to get into a line of work which has not been open to them before. In order to be of help in this matter I will be at the Lincoln High School from 1:00 to 3:00 p. m. on Saturday, September 29th, to confer with any young women desiring this work. I am not acting as an employment agency. I am simply anxious to get our girls to embrace this opportunity, which has not been offered before, and which will mean larger opportunities later in other directions. Signed, J. R. E. LEE, Prin.

At 9:30 a. m. the Sunday school held a very interesting session. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Dr. Bacote, preached a grand sermon on "Owe No Man." In the evening services Rev. Waldron preached a beautiful sermon on "The Vision of God." Six souls were added to the church, of which on candidate received the ordance of Baptism. The Mission Circle held a very interesting session at the home of Mrs. Desmond last Friday afternoon. The B. Y. P. U. is progressing nicely. An unusual number was out to prayer meeting last Wednesday evening. Strangers are especially invited to all of our services. CHRISTIAN CHURCH The attendance and interest in the Bible School are increasing each service. Work good. The reception given the minister and wife Thursday night by C. E. Society was much enjoyed by all. It reminded the pastor and wife of another incident of the past in their lives. The program was appropriate and each number greatly applauded. The Lord's Day services were largely attended by both members and visitors. The spirit of devotion and worship predominated and was a very helpful service. There were eight additions to the church. Four conversions. The weekly offerings went above the standard. The choir was at its best all day in numbers and service and each song had Jesus in it. The minister's subject next Sunday at 11 a. m. will be "Miracles: Their Purpose and Mission." At 8 p. m.: "Conscience: Is it an Infallible Guide? If Nit, What Is?" All are cordially welcome to all services. By Delia H. Mosee. Dr. B. F. Watson of Washington. D. C., secretary of the Church Extension Department, occupied the pulpit last Sunday morning. Although not in the best of health, he preached an impressive sermon. In the evening Dr. Horsey of Billings, Mont., delivered an excellent sermon. During the day there were two additions. The Federation of Church Clubs has appointed the following committee to supervise a "rest room" in the annex: Prof. Wm. H. Dawley, Jr., chairman; Prof. R. G. Jackson, Mrs. E. Baldwin, S. H. P. Edwards, Prof. Joe E. Herriford. A musical recital will be given in this church by the Musical Faculty and Teacher of Elocution of Lincoln Institute Friday evening, October 5. Admission 25 cents.

We are asking all the ladies to support the little girl and all the men to support the boy. The polls will open at 7:30 p. m. and close at 9:45 p. m.

EDITORIALS. Be men. Fear nobody but God. Graft rather than "Glory" appears to have been the big idea at Electric Park this week. Members of the Marine Band, rendering free services, complained of extortion and all round bad treatment. Negroes were not entitled to any "Glory" and were rudely turned away fro mthe gates of the "Heavenly City," although they are at this very time enlisting to go three thousand miles away to fight for "world democracy." Colored people who went to Electric Park did not approach that divine institution in the spirit of cringing privilege seekers. They went because they had a right to attend as free American citizens who have at all times earned the right by patriotism and abject loyalty. It is amusing to note how the average white man squirms when he is called upon to take a stand on the question of discrimination. He grows red in the face, mutters incoherently, moons his eyes, puts the whole blame upon someone else, then suddenly has business somewhere else. Naturally the "independent" Star the "Republican" Journal and the yellow Post took no note of the stirrings encouraging, patriotic address which Col. Roosevelt delivered to a body of representative Colored men who were invited and called upon him. His doctrine was too widely at variance with the sentiments of these great American dailies. The thousands of friends of Prof. H. T. Kealing, the brilliant president of Western University and intimate friend of the late Bishop Abram Grant and Booker T. Washington, will be pained to know that this distinguished citizen has had a serious relapse and is very ill at his residence in Quindaro, Kas. The Sun but fathers the thought and wish of thousands of Americans, black and white, when it hopes for the speedy recovery of this very useful leader of his race. The Dubinsky Brothers have started the season at the Grand with more than ordinary success, and the many friends of Irene Daniel, Charlie Cubine, Barrow Le Page, Fred Butier, Sarah Louise Long, Hazel Stone and Barney Dubinsky have showed their appreciation in the shape of floral offerings and hearty receptions. Next week the versatile Dubinsky Brothers' Stock Company will present for the first time in Kansas City at popular prices George M. Cohan's funny comedy, "Hit-the-Trail-Holliday." Irene Daniel will play the part of Edith Holden, and Chester Bishop will play Billy Holliday, while Charlie Cubine, Lorena Tolson, Lloyd Sabine, Fred Butler, Sarah Louise Long and Gladys Busch will be seen in roles especially suited to them. The bargain matinees of Thursday and Saturday, when the Dubinsky Brothers offer one thousand seats at a dime, will prove an innovation. "Going Straight," which comes to the Garden Theater for one week, commencing with a matinee next Sunday, is a wonderful story of New York and New Jersey life. It brings in characters from all walks of the metropolis from the lower East Side line of New York City to Central Police Headquarters, and from there to the little town of Barton Falls, New Jersey, where many of the quaint characters of the little town are brought out in their best bib and tucker and shown as they actually are. The leading man of the piece is a reformed crook, a man who went wrong to save his poor old mother from poverty and starvation, and who, released from prison, sets out to do those who are doing others. One of his funny plays is the capturing of the detective in the very act of accepting a bribe of one thousand dollars. This reformed crook also saves the one widow of the little town of Barton Falls from being robbed of her little home and from being deprived of three hundred thousand dollars which she happened to own in stock in the Rainbow Mining Company. * Scalp and Hair Treatment or * Plain Sewing.

THE PLATTSBURG OF A RACE By Rev. H. H. Proctor, D. D., Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 19, 1917. It is well known that colored men have taken part in every war of this country from the Revolution down to the trouble with Mexico. But the participation of the Negro in the present world war in case it continues much longer, will differ from that of any other, in that colored soldiers will be led by their own officers. In order that competent leaders might be prepared for this new task, another training camp was added to the sixteen already established for the training of officers for the army. This seventeenth camp does for the black what others do for the whites. It is the Plattsburg of a race. It would have been difficult to have chosen a more beautiful place than Fort Ds Moines. The climate for the season was ideal. Then, too, the broad-minded people of Iowa, where there is so much grand army sentiment, were just the ones with whom to try out such an experiment. At first, however, says Dr. Kirbye, there was perceptible a sense of suppressed fear, which soon changed to a spirit of open hospitality. Now, at length, the conduct of the men has been so fine that they are receiving the praise of all. One man of the street, whom I questioned, was led to contrast their conduct with that of certain white soldiers who had preceded them, emphasizing the orderliness, quietness and intelligence of these colored candidates. fter spending some days on the grounds I am compelled to say I never found myself among a bigger bunch of gentlemen. And well it might be so, for these 1,250 young men represent the flower of the manhood of their race. They come from our schools, our homes and our churches—the very best we breed. Some are just out of college, while others represent the professions. Among these are also the pick of the seasoned Negro soldiers, who have done duty in the Philippines, in Cuba, Mexico and Hawaii. One of the gratifying things of the camp is the fine physical condition of the men. Of the whole group, it is interesting to note the tallest is a Congregationalist from Georgia, which also contributes the largest quota of any state to the encampment. This company stands high in its rating, and regarded by many the best of the twelve. It reflects great credit on their race that of these 1,250 men only five were found to have venereal infection. Women of Des Moines have made no complaint against these men. There have been no outbreaks in the city. Des Moines not only regards them as an asset but looks on them with pride, as is indicated by the demand for their presence on such public occasions as the White Sparrow entertainment at the Stadium for the benefit of the Red Cross, and the state fair, where they made such fine impressions. I was glad on my visit to the guard house this morning to find it empty. All about there was much evidence of its lack of use. Very few were in the hospital. But the grounds were an animated scene. Some were marching, others were draughting, others were digging trenches, all doing something. Here they hustle! And whether they are meneuvering or digging they are doing it happily. A smile hangs on every face, and there is a song in every mouth. They march in rythmic swing, and they look like men of war. One explanation of the fine success of this camp lies in its commander, Col. C. C. Ballou, who was formerly commander of the Twenty-fourth United States Infantry of colored troops. At the beginning of the encampment he impressed the men with their exceptional responsibility. He showed them that it was their opportunity to make a place for their people in the sun. Their response is evident. Eliminations were only 20 per cent. So pleased is Colonel Ballou, who has now been promoted to a brigadier-generalship, with the success of his efforts that he urged anyone who was skeptical of the Negro's ability, loyalty or fidelity, to come and see. Hundreds come every day and go away convinced. It is an inspirin and thrilling moment when the whole regiment stands at attention and sings "The Star Spangled Banner," while the flag is being lowered, in the presence of many who come to witness the impressive ceremony. But the most significant thing of the camp is the religious response. True to the instincts of their race, these men, though soldiers, still retain their religious sentiments. It is not difficult to impress them that the permanent basis of physical, mental and moral strength is spiritual, and that in the exigencies of their hazardous task they need the fellowship of the great companion. Within one week 154 declared their allegiance to Christ. The camp has no chaplain. Instead of this traditional officer, there is the Young Men's Christian Association secretary, who, with ampler facilities and more ideal relationship, more than supplies this deficit. If I should be called upon to point out the most indispensable man on the grounds, next to the commander, I would say it was Secretary De Frantz, who has not only proved a friend to every candidate on the grounds, but who brings to his task such a large conception and such peculiar fitness that it would be hard to imagine this camp without him. He is the balance wheel of the situation. THE AMERICAN WOODMEN Kansas City Camp No. 5. Kansas City Camp No. 5.

G. Chapman.) Emma Baxter had gradually come to a realizing sense that her husband was tired of her, and had begun to look around for a younger wife. They had been married nearly thirty years, and she had attended steadily and faithfully to the domestic side of the partnership while Joel was out in the big world accumulating a fortune. Quite naturally these very different pursuits had very different effects on the two people. Mrs. Baxter had not felt that she could take the time for clubs and mental culture while the meals were to be bought and cooked, and the children's clothes to be looked after. Then when their circumstances no longer demanded that she should cook the meals there were the children growing up, and their interests to be looked after, entertaining their friends, and consulting dressmakers. Later on the business of betrothals and weddings took her time, till now when she seemed to be no longer needed for these things, and everyone else had gone on in the pursuit of his or her own happiness, she discovered that her husband had also found her no longer necessary or in fact desirable. At first this brought a sinking at the heart, and a good many tears. But Emma Baxter was not the sort to waste much time in tears. She had always been a resourceful woman, one who faced a situation, and courageously tackled it. She proceeded to do so now. Something like a lawyer she started out to consider both sides of the case, and to take the testimony of both parties. She took Joel's testimony first. He was being greatly at- A man and a woman in a room. The woman is standing and facing the man, who is sitting on a chair. They are both wearing dresses. The room has a window with a lattice pattern. "Well, I Tried to Do It Myself, and I Made a Mess of It." tracted to young girls with slender figures, very short dresses, and absurdly rakih hats. He had come to the time when he had more leisure for amusement, and he liked to take this kind of girl to suppers, the theater, and on little trips to Coney Island. Furthermore she had reason to believe that he wanted this girl to sit opposite to him at his own table, especially when he invited his gay friends, and the present Mrs. Joel Baxter was either silent or floundered hopelessly in the sea of modern frivolity. Joel was not a millionaire, and he could not pay an unlimited price for his new luxury. In fact he came near being stingy when it came to home expenditures. Now for the case of Emma Baxter, She looked in the mirror, and took account of her personal attractions. It was about the first time she ever considered this subject seriously. She had always been too busy doing things for others to take the time. She was a decidedly fat figure, a very double chin, hair streaked with gray, and a switch that didn't exactly match. There were lines around the eyes and mouth, and the cheeks sagged. To be sure the eyes were bright and the mouth still shapely in the line of the lips; but on the whole the reflection was a failure taken purely from the point of physical attraction. As for reducing, so many women of her age looked worse than ever in the face after they got reduced. No, that seemed a rather impossible proposition. She had heard of women who had their faces peeled, and came out with the complexions of infants; but she couldn't consider that ordeal for a moment; and she had always said she would not dye her hair, no matter what came. Well the question of physical rejuvenation seemed impossible. She might go to a hairdresser, and see what could be done in that line. And probably her gowns might be made more becoming. Still on the whole the possibility of entering the contest with the svelte young thing in short dresses on the ground of outward attractiveness was distinctly out of the question. Here Mrs. Baxter sat down, and C. HARRIS & EWING A broke off diplomatic relations with the United States. Mr. Elkus' personality had so impressed the Turks that the sultan's government insisted upon his remaining in Constantinople until his health was thoroughly restored and he could, without danger of a relapse, undertake the long and arduous journey to America. Mr. Elkus continued the excellent impression created by his predecessor, the Hon. Henry Morgenthau, and by his efficiency and kindness had done more than make himself popular in Turkey; he has made the United States popular. Without any diplomatic training, the plain American lawyer who until then had been distinguished only by his philanthropy made an excellent record in an extremely difficult diplomatic post, and while engaged upon an errand of mercy, visiting a Red Cross soup kitchen, contracted the infection which so nearly cost him his life. Armenia was uppermost in my thoughts as I talked with Ambassador Elkus. Peaceful, industrious, intelligent Armenia, an intellectual people, clever in practical affairs and of lofty idealism. When Turkey entered the war there were two million Armenians, but the atrocities of 1915 and 1916 very greatly reduced their number. Systematic butchery and wholesale slaughter of these people by the Turks makes this one of the most terrible crimes in the history of mankind. Why has Germany allowed these things to be done? The atrocities committed by the Turks in Armenia are perhaps no worse than those of which the Germans themselves have been guilty in Belgium and France, but there is something peculiarly horrible in the cold-blooded extermination of a brave and cultured people. What interest had Germany in allowing this thing to be done? The only explanation that can be offered is that Germany wanted the Armenians exterminated because it suited the purposes of her commercial greed. The Armenians are the tanners, the molders, the blacksmiths, the tailors, the carpenters, the clay-workers, the weavers, the shoemakers, the jewelers, the pharmacists, the doctors, the lawyers of Asia Minor and of the Turkish empire. They are at heart a conservative people and for hundreds of years their trade has been done with France and England. They do not take kindly to German goods. Therefore Germany closed her eyes while Turkey was exterminating them. The presence of the Armenian was a menace, or, at least threatened to retard the Pan-German development of Mittel-Europa. There is throughout the Levant and the Balkans a real and deep-rooted sympathy for the United States. The leading Bulgarian statesmen are graduates of American schools and colleges. The Turkish government has taken a graduate of the American College for Girls in Constantinople and placed her in charge of the organization of Turkish schools in Syria. It is especially among the middle and the lower classes that the United States is genuinely popular. Emigrants who have returned, tourists who have traveled, all agree that America stands for democratic principles—that is, for liberty and equality of opportunity for all, rich and poor alike, without class distinctions. The present grand vizier of Turkey started in life as a telegraph messenger boy in Adrianople. Turkey broke off diplomatic relations with the United States two weeks after the declaration of war with Germany. The exact date was April 20. Ambassador Elkus was informed by a prominent member of the Turkish government that the pressure exerted by Germany upon the Sublime Porte to break off relations with America was daily growing stronger. It is significant that the note announcing the rupture of relations was dated Friday, which is the Turkish Sabbath. Yet on the day when all public offices are closed, the Turkish cabinet held a meeting and the note was drafted, signed and dispatched. To everyone in Constantinople this denoted that the utmost pressure had been brought to bear upon the sultan's government by his Teutonic ally. When the war broke out there was only $4,000,000 worth of paper money in Turkey. Everything was paid for in hard cash, and gold and silver were the currency almost exclusively used in the daily transactions of the people. Everything was on a cash basis. There is in Turkey today—after 33 months of war—more than $350,000,000 of paper money, the authorized emissions having reached a total of nearly 90,000,000 pounds heaved a heavy sigh. After all on what other grounds could she compete? The appearance was about all Joel could be thinking of. But was it all? Emma Baxter sat some time pondering this in her heart. Then she took a resolve. The next day when Joel came home to dinner he found Miss Mildred Cook there. To say that he was surprised would scarcely express it. Mildred was very pretty, very much up to date, and the girl to whom he was most devoted. She had a studio, studied art, and was exceedingly bohemian and unconventional. For these reasons Mrs. Baxter knew she would not mind her unceremonious invitation to dine. Baxter could not conceal his very evident delight at having the young lady to dinner. Mrs. Baxter promised her that Mr. Baxter would take her home in their car. But quite late that evening Mrs. Baxter on ordering the car heard that it could not be taken out on account of a break somewhere, so she begged the young lady to remain overnight, and take a motor trip with them to the seashore. Joel of course added his entreaties, and Mildred remained. Returning late, Mrs. Baxter again urged the girl to stay overnight, and the next day prevailed upon her to make them a visit of a few days. Mildred being something of the 'salamander' type, all being fish that came to her net, and convincing herself that anything she could get out of 'old Baxter' was clear gain, very willingly remained. The next day Mrs. Baxter received a telegram saying a near relative was very ill. She told Mildred she must take the next train, and begged her as a great favor to "stay and take care of Mr. Baxter," she would not be gone long. But Mrs. Baxter's visit stretched into weeks. She wrote often, speaking of the progress of the patient, and hoping to be soon home, adding she trusted Miss Cook was taking good care of him. During her self-imposed absence—for there was no ill relative—Emmas was doing some speculating as to the outcome. She was giving Joel a chance to find out if he really wanted to exchange her for the girl. Finally she decided to go home, and face the result, bitter though it might be. Mildred met her, exquisitely gowned, and smiling. Emma found her husband up in his room looking tired and rather worn. He seemed glad to see her. But that was undoubtedly just a bluff. "Good heavens! Joel what have you done to your hair? It's awful black in front, and three shades lighter in the back!" she exclaimed. "Well, I tried to do it myself, and I made a mess of it," he explained. Mrs. Baxter always "touched up" her husband's hair, and kept it a nice, even brown, and she carefully concealed her amusement at his discomfiture. "Great Scott!" he growled, rummaging in the closet. "I've bought two pairs of slippers since you've been gone! That fool maid never puts 'em where I can find 'em." Again Emma concealed a smile. Again Emma conceived a smile. "Look here Emma, I just can't dress for dinner. I'm all in. I wish you'd have it sent up, and tell Mildred I'm not well enough to come down." Emma found his slippers, made him comfortable, and promised to send up his dinner. Later on she heard from Mildred about the good times she had been having. Judging from the places where Joel had taken her, and the continuous round of galeety they had pursued, it was no wonder Joel looked worn and tired. The next evening Mrs. Baxter caught Joel with his dinner clothes in his hand. He gave them a vicious throw onto the bed, and turned on her with: "There! I'll be hanged if I'll put them on! I'm going down just as I am, if Mildred is shocked." "I haven't been shocked all these years when you didn't dress for dinner," quietly observed Emma. "No," he answered. "See here Emma, couldn't you tell Midred you and I are thinking of taking a trip away to the mountains. We'll go away together, and have a good old rest." Emma was so happy she made an errand into the next room to do away with the tears that would come. ONE THING SMALL BOY KNEW He Appreciated the Various Wonders of the Farm but Couldn't Be Fooled About Tomatoes. The little boy who lives in a big apartment house where almost everybody else is grown up had just the best time out in the country. There were so many things to see and so much to learn that he hardly knew which way to turn. Pheeny, the freckled little girl, was a famous guide and exhibitor, and enjoyed almost as much showing off the wonders of the farm as the little boy enjoyed beholding them. Her knowledge was amazingly wide, but he caught her in one grave mistake. “These are tomatoes,” she said, indicating the red and green globules hanging on their stems. "No," courteously replied the little boy. "Tomatoes don't grow like that." "They do, too!" returned Pheeny. "Can't you see 'em?" "Yes," said the little boy. "I see them, but they are not tomatoes." "Aw, they are, too!" insisted Pheeny. "It isn't polite to con—cont'adict—" (It was a pretty long word for the litte boy) "—a lady. But tomatoes, tomatoes don't grow on weeds; they grow in cans."—Kansas City Star. The Way of It. "So the rich old miser is ill. Are his relatives expecting the worst?" "Hardly that, but they're hoping for it." in Turkey THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1917. As related by Ambassador Elkus, the American representative at Constantinople, to a newspaper correspondent S.I. SORFIA MOSQUE AL CONSTANTINOLE (Built 1400 Years Ago) BRAM I. ELKUS, ambassador extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to the Sublime Porte, is the only man in this country today who by first-hand knowledge can tell of things as they are in the land of the Turk. Stricken with the dreaded typhus, he lay at the point of death when, obeying the mandate of Germany, the imperial Ottoman government The poor in Turkey find it hard to keep themselves alive. The only reason many of them do manage to live in the cities is because the government allows each inhabitant half a pound of bread a day, for which the recipient has to pay two cents. Somehow or other they all manage to get their two cents a day. Then there are soup kitchens run by the American Red Cross, the Turkish Red Crescent, the Jewish Charities commission, the Greek Patriarch, and other societies. Some soup kitchens give food free; others sell at cost price. There are now no dogs in the streets of Constantinople. Time was when they acted as scavengers, but now there is no surplus left around to eat. The people save their last crust. There are no bones. The dogs were not shot or used for military service, they were sent off to a semidesert island in the sea of Marmora and have undisputed sway of its barren shores. The government makes free distribution of beans, cheese and olives to the families of soldiers, but this support is doled out in driblets. Destitute families among the civilian population also get supplies free from some of the charitable organizations, but before the war one never heard of men and women dropping dead from starvation in the streets. Even now it is comparatively rare, but deaths from malnutrition and lack of resistance to even mild diseases are not uncommon. People weakened by lack of food fall easy prey to ailments which in normal times would not be serious. The aspect of Constantinople has changed considerably since the outbreak of the war. Curiously enough, it has immensely improved, and from a cause which is entirely unrelated to war or political conditions. It happened that during the first year of the war an unusually capable and honest man was mayor of Constantinople—Djemil Pasha, the foremost surgeon in Turkey. He went to work on the city as if it had been a diseased human being and performed surgery on the streets. He cut out and removed unhealthy slums and widened and relaid streets; he paved streets and cleaned streets and made parks and open breathing places. He got the telephone system completed and the street car system electrified. In 1915 he resigned because of trouble with the government and went to Switzerland, where he had been educated. Later he made his peace with the powers that be and is now back in Constantinople. How far Germany seeks to dominate Turkey, not only in military but also in civil matters, may best be shown by the fact that Berlin insisted, as part of the recent treaty with the Sublime Porte, upon the reorganization of the court system and the abolition of the religious tribunals. This means a profound modification of the Mohammedan political and civic system along German lines. The U. S. S. Scorpion is interned in Constantinople for the duration of the war. There are only three officers and sixty men on board. Permission for shore leave under proper restrictions is not denied by the Turkish authorities. Sympathy for the United States. The wonder of wonders in Constantinople is that women workers are beginning to be seen. Woman's first step toward emancipation through work in Turkey was brought about by an American invention—the telephone. "Hello girls" were first employed. Then the city got permission to use women as street sweepers—if they could sweep the houses, why couldn't they sweep the streets? Then the post office went short of men and a few women were used as letter sorters. There are also Turkish women employed as hospital nurses and in the soup kitchen. Although Turkey is virtually dominated by Germany in military matters, the Turks do not love the Germans. In the estimation of the gentle Turk, the German lacks tact and delicacy. Teutonic ability, energy, initiative and capacity are admired and genuinely respected, but the Turk and the German do not mix any more than oil and water. Yet Germans are everywhere in Turkey, and are almost falling over themselves in Constantinople. There are German officers, German military experts, German civil advisers, German educators—for Germany is paying particular attention to the education of the rising generation of young Turks. Even the Germans put in a military officer as adviser to the Turkish police headquarters. The Turks somewhat resented that. The Turkish police system is about the best organized thing they have in Turkey. Here the Oriental love of intrigue can give itself full play, and as for astuteness and "finesse," the Turkish secret service is not to be beat. It has more weird and curious devices, more strange and secret methods than the mathematical mind of German efficiency ever dreamed of. The legal limit for Mohammedans is four wives. As a matter of fact, most of them get along with one. There are, of course, some old-fashioned reactionaries who insist upon their legal matrimonial complement, and a few poor men who want a servant and cannot afford one. These marry What's Been Happening In Turkey a second wife, who becomes the household drudge for he keep only. But polygamy in Turkey is fast disappearing in the best classes, as the educated Turkish woman of today will not marry a man who already has one or more wives, nor will she consent to share her husband afterward. Of course Turks still refer to their harem, but when they do so they rarely if ever mean what the American understands by the word. Harem means womanfolk, and a Turk speaking of his harem includes his mother and sisters and his cousins and his aunts as well as his wife or wives. The part of the house set aside for their use is called the harem, and far from being furnished with Oriental luxuriance, as most people imagine, it not infrequently contains Grand Rapids furniture, uncomfortable chairs, pianos, phonographs and the other appurtenances of an average American flat. There are a number of theaters in Constantinople, or structures that go by that delusive name, but one rarely sees anything even approaching a decent show. The moving picture houses are legion, and when the staff of the American embassy left Constantinople they were showing, in weekly installments, a wonder film called "Mysteries of New York," which is said to have cost a million dollars. Every title and "cut-in" bore the added remark, "Captured in Roumania." French films, however, are rarely seen, sometimes a few Italian ones, but usually the "Mester" films "made in Germany" are shown. There is, of course, a weekly war film, but invariably the Austrian war films are more popular than the German. Nothing but victories are ever shown. Constantinople has had little to fear from air raids, and the streets have remained brightly lighted at night. One unexpected effect of the war has been the rapid spread of the installation of electric light to all classes of buildings, despite the exorbitant cost of wiring and of electric light fixtures. The reason is that petroleum oil, formerly used for illuminating, now costs $5 gold a gallon, and the high-proof gasoline cannot be had for love or money. All the fuel for automobiles is under military control. WHERE SOME NICKNAMES GIVEN WORLD'S FIGHTING MEN HAD ORIGIN Will it be "Sammies?" Probably not. The history of slang shows that nicknames of soldiers (or anything else) come from the soldiers themselves, or very often from the enemy. It apparently has occurred to nobody who writes letters to the newspapers that the American soldier has gone through several wars without any fixed slang name such as the English soldier's Tommy Atkins. Most of the letters advocate the Sammy appendage. Who started it nobody knows. Probably the idea of Sammy after Uncle Sam broke out in eruption in several quarters at the same time. Word from France says that the men of the Pershing expedition do not like the idea. Sammy or any word ending in the affectionate diminutive to the American mind is unmanly. That is not so in England and British possessions. "Tommy Atkins" sprang, according to well-established reports, from a word written on a sample form of application to the British army. It represented the British "John Doe." And anyway Tommy applies only to the English soldier, usually a little fellow, and not to the big-boned colonials, Scotch "Kilties" or Irish Dragoons or Fusillers. With Sammy as a basis the letter writers next decided on Samson as a fitting name—less effeminate. "The Sons of Sam—Uncle Sam"—fine and manly, they argued. But Samsons didn't stick either. Then many advocated "Yanks" from Yankees, the old Civil war nickname for the Union troops. That, of course, did not appeal to the Southerners. Somebody wrote in that Yanks wouldn't do because Yankee came from an Indian word which meant coward. That isn't shown by Webster, who gives a dozen other theories about the origin of Yankee. Like all other slang words it comes from so far back that nobody's memory would serve in untangling the mystery. In the Civil war the Northerners were "Yankees" or "Yanks," meaning properly in the States a New Englander, but a word applied abroad to all Americans. The Southerners were "Rebs," from rebels, or "Johnny Rebs." It is apparent that each got his name from the enemy. So in the Mexican war the only slang name the American soldiers had was "gringo," also given to him by the enemy. "Gringo" means nothing in Spanish. The Australian and New Zealand soldiers of the British army have been dubbed "Anzac," a combination of the initial letters of Australian and New Zealand army corps. The Scotch retain their name of "klatties," of course, from the klits they wear. The German soldiers are said to call them "the ladies of hell," but that was too long a title to remain, although it probably pleased the "klittes." There has been much discussion about "booche," the name for the German soldiers, and "polu," the French soldier. "Boche" is French slang, and its birth is clothed in mystery almost surrounding a slang word. It means a most despicable sort of person and is an insult. In that connection the American army already has its slang term for an infantryman. It is used commonly in the army, but generally unknown to the civilian. The term is "doughboy." Since "doughboy" long has been an American infantryman the United States army already has as explicit a slang term as the French army has in "pollu." "Doughboy" is in Webster as meaning an infantryman in the United States. Probably "doughboy," by reason of its use and popularity in the American army, will become the general word for the American soldier before the war is over. "Gringo" also may become common usage, for the American soldiers have seen so much service in and near Spanish speaking countries that they often refer to themselves in fun as "gringos."—New York Herald. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1917, Western newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 30 THE GOODNESS AND SEVERITY OF GOD. (Review.) LESSON TEXT—Daniel 9:3-19. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.—Psalms 103:8. A profitable way to spend the hour would be to make a study of Daniel's prayer as recorded in the lesson assigned for our reading today, and have the lessons of the quarter as illustrations of the goodness and severity of God. Announcement of the plan may be made the Sunday before, and the different lessons of the quarter assigned to different members of the class to tell how they bear upon the topic of the lesson for this week. A broad analysis of Daniel's prayer is as follows: I. Confession of the Nation's Sine (vv. 3:15). The circumstances of this prayer were extraordinary. The crisis was so serious that Daniel sought after prayer to the Lord with fasting, sackcloth and ashes. In his confession the people's sins are placed in contrast with God's righteousness. He acknowledges that their sorrows and sufferings justly belong to them. Daniel, the holy man against whom there is no record of wrongdoing, includes himself with his people. II. Supplication for Mercy and Forgiveness (vv. 16:19). He pleads for God's anger and fury to turn away, and his remembrance of the Holy City and his chosen people. The Lord's honor was at stake. He confesses that Israel had no merit, were utterly destitute of righteousness, and pleads consideration on the ground of covenant relationship. Another way to conduct the review would be to ask different members of the class to report on the different lessons by giving the vital and central teaching of each. The following are suggested as vital teachings of the several lessons: Lesson 1. God is absolutely holy, therefore those who have been sanctified by fire from the heavenly altar are qualified for his service. Lesson 2. He who turns away from the Lord shall be judged by the Lord. Lesson 3. In Hezekiah's reformatory work the Passover Feast was restored, showing that the only way to get people to return to God is to gather them around the Cross of Christ—the Atonement by Blood. Lesson 4. Though our unfaithfulness and cowardice have shamefully humiliated us, we should turn to God in prayer. Lesson 5. God's gracious invitation is extended to all without money and without price. Lesson 6. No matter how wicked one may have been in his apostasy from God, if he sincerely repents, God will be found of him. Lesson 7. Regardless of one's age and experience, God can use him in doing mighty work if he will but open his heart unto him. Lesson 8. The Word of God found and read will mightly convict of sin, and transform one's life and environment. Lesson 9. God's predictions as to the captivity of Israel were fulfilled to the letter. Nothing shall fall of that which God has said he will do. Lesson 10. Jehovah is the shepherd of captive Israel, and will surely gather them out from their wanderings and save them. Lesson 11. One should be uninflishingly loyal to God under all circumstances. Lessons 12 and 13. God is able to deliver those who trust him, from fire and from wild beasts. When God Probes God loves us too much to let what would hurt us stay with us. So, because of this love, he himself is willing to hurt us in order to save us from the greater hurt. Probing is done in order to get rid of something that would injure. And so, as Prebendary Webster has said: "Do not be afraid of God's probing. He never wounds except to heal. He never humbles except to exalt. Do let God deal with you; do not be afraid of his probing." Most of us have been afraid of it; we may be dreading it just now. We shall not fear if we remember what kind of love is back of it: that all-sacrificing love that died for us on the cross. So we can safely, gladly let ourselves go utterly into his hands and ask those nail-pierced hands to do with us what they will. Then he can begin to show us his love as we may never yet have known the meaning of love.—Sunday School Times. When we are content to live on the lower levels of life it is because we haven't caught the vision of God.—L. K. Smith. Martyrdom Sublime.

The pair went to Camp Sullivan park, where they met another man, and the trio decided to visit Riverside park, One of the men had a bundle and confided to Jack that it contained $15,000, and after they reached the park he asked his intended victim if he would permit him to place the bundle of money in the suitcase, Jack agreed and they proceeded to enjoy the evening riding on all the racers and coasters and drinking “pop.” Jack declared in broken English that he never met more companionable men, As the night wore on they returned to the city and Jack obtained a room after bidding the men good-by and having an understanding that he would Meet them again on Friday. In the morning he opened his suitcase and dis- covered that his purse and $1,800 were gone, but was consoled when he saw that the paper bundle remained.

Stubborn to the last, she refused to give any name when she was “slated” at the police station and placed in a cell, At the apartment house it was explained that the woman came there three months ago as a servant, Her employers had discharged her.

There were self-sacrifice, ingratitude and heroism in it. Ralph Protta, nine years old, scaled the fence from the sight. Women and children sereamed and men shouted. Policeman Flannagan responded to the neighborhood hubbub. He entered the yard with his pisrol in one hand and his club In the other, The two dogs were finishing their work, They turned and made for the policeman, But he did not budge from his position by the gate, He fired a shot, The bullet penetrated the brain of the black dog. Then, with the club, the policeman beat the red dog until the animal cringed at his feet, Ralph Protta died in the ambulance on the way to the’ hospital.

D. Walters, profes- sor of architecture and drawing in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Persons erecting new dwellings should equip them with screens that will last many years, he says, “An average two-story house con- tains upwards of two dozen openings that should be screened,” said Doctor Walters. ‘The best screens are made of a strong white pine sash and a cop- per wire screening. Another grade is made of fir lumber and a screen ma- terial made of a composition called white metal. ‘The cheaper grades are made of yellow Southern pine and coy- ered with common {ron wire screening. “The first screen named is rather ex- pensive on account of the high price of copper, but it does not need to be painted, and should last 12 years. The iron wire screen, on the other hand, will rust out the first season and rare- ly lasts more than two or three years. “A screen door should be made with a hardwood sash and should be pro- vided with the best kind of spring hinges and a knob lock. ‘There should be sufficient cross rails and cross braces in it to prevent sagging. The window screens are usually fastened at the top by cheap black varnished butts and are hooked at the bottom with a Gast: halt ant whine ®: WILL TRAIN CITY MANAGERS Kansas State University Establishes Course Which Is First of the Kind In This Country. Kansas 1s preparing to establish in its state university a four-year course in city management, the first of its kind to be established in the country. ‘When a man, or a woman either, is graduated from this course he will have had thorough training in every department of city affairs except poli- ties, and will go out to help run cities as a trained man goes into a factory or business, Prof. F. W. Blackmar, who is head of the economics depart- ment and has been instructed to pre- pare the details of the course, had this ‘to say concerning the need for such a school : | “No man can manage a business un- ess he has a thorough understanding of its nature. The man who manages a city ought to be as experienced as an engineer, or a teacher. Why can- not universities train men for manag- ing cities as well as it can for other professions? That i what we propose to do, The course of study for train- ing city managers should be about one- half the ordinary classroom and Tec- ture work and the rest laboratory in- vestigation Into the actual needs of municipal operation.” Pretty Exterior Finish Effects. _ Beveled siding, shingles and brick are used to finish the exterior of many houses now. ‘The combination of these materials does not produce a patch finish, but they harmonize beautifully. ‘The brick are used in the foundation walls from grade to the sills, and in the porch railing wall. The sides of the house are finished with beveled siding up to the second floor, and with shingles the rest of the way to the roof. If the shingles are stained some fairly dark tint and the beveled siding 1s painted some light color or white, with the window sash dark, the effect produced is very pleasing. ‘Trade Development Profitable. ‘The competition of cities to secure trade for thelr manufacturers, whole- salers and jobbers is particularly keen. ‘The development of package car serv- fee, the expediting of merchandise, the extension of trade territory through co-operative effort in shipments and the covering of districts, the quick ad- justment of claims, the generating of enthusiasm for certain communities as trade centers—this work is vigor- ously und persistently carried on by chambers of commerce, with field sec- retarles, trade magazines and trade trips, and the money spent in this work returns a hundred fold in new ‘accounts and Increased orders. Retail Interests Benefited, ‘Through chamber of commerce work the retail interests In a community are brought together to work together for improvement in local methods of mer- chandising, for investigation and elimination of “fly-by-night” concerns and fraudulent advertisers, Credit bu- reaus are often maintained, and truth- ful advertising 1s a thing insisted upon, Universal trading conditions lo- cally are considered and worked out, not only for the protection of the re- tail stores, but for the protection of the customer.

The house numbers at Pasadena, Cal., are placed on the curb in front of each residence, conspicuous num- bers being placed on a white rectangle, At the street crossing the names of the streets'are painted on the curbs. iNiady And fancies/{) Sa VF— Bee J ashion/ ‘ srpermctiemcacce: i ( % i fj H 5 ee asf i ie os ieee eee ie " “a } f Ber eccrine Bees Fe, © ‘ eae Be ag fe eS) ‘& a eS Fe Pe Sie Lo os. saa - DIVERSITY IN ONE-PIECE DRESSES There is a wonderful diversity in vne-piece dresses, and there must be. “We must have new things all the time or women will not buy,” siys one of those who sells frocks nearly all the days of the year. It isubusiness that makes the world move forward, and so designers call upon the four quarters of the globe for fdeas and Inspirations. This fall there are Chinese and Rus- sian and American Indtam ideas inter- preted in new suits and dresses, or dis- cernible in their trimmings, along with clever Inventions that are home grown and very modern. But with all this casting about for new inspirations there are almost no freakish dresses. Everything must bow to the decrees of the mode and manage to arrive at simplicity in effect, no mat. ter how much elaborated In details of trimming or finish. “Mhe-tesultis. the prettiest and most wenrable frocks that can be imagined, with the straight Une models in great favor and the smart Russian blouse winning Its way to the front. But the straight line dress has no monopoly, as may be gathered from the clever model in a one-piece frock shown here. It follows’ the lines of the tonneau skirt, at a snfe and sane distance, with the smail. side drapery that holds its place ‘In’ the season's styles, Just how its wearer gets in or out of it Is a secret that Hes between her and the dressmaker, but the belt is discovered fastening at the ide and probably the bodice does the same S lpg i Sg a Fae | om Gal a Sy oi es FURS ARE EVERYWHERE thing, with fastenings along the under- arm and shoulder, At the front and back of the belt embroidery finds a place in the sun of approval, and a row of misleading buttons down the front of the bodice haye no duty other than to make a pretty finish for It. It fs the collar in this frock that be- speaks much thought on the part of its maker. It 18 of colored satin over- laid with white satin with little satin- covered buttons set In w row at each side, and is altogether Independent of the high neck which finishes the bodice. The plain sleeves have small flaring cuffs with overlay in white satin, Making a Joke of deprivations is one phase of French fortitude in these times of trial. The Parislenne makes light of the scarcity of coal and says she will rely upon furs and exercise In the open alr to keep herself warm ‘this winter. This prediction seems to have influenced the mode, and furs are everywhere. On suits and frocks they appear In bands, sometimes con- tinuous and more often in sections, on the bottom of skirts and coats. Collars and cuffs, fur-covered buttons, and narrow fur bands and fringes of fur find a place on all outer garments, Deep cuffs, both close-fitting and flaring, and narrow collars that widen into brond revers are among the new: est phases of fur trimmings. But with the broadest collars and the most gen- erous cuffs are coupled very narrow bandings in pockets and about the bot- ‘tom of coats, Collars are as luxurious and enveloping as those introduced last winter, those on suits of the convert- ible variety that may be brought up about the throat at will, One of the new fall suits, trimmed with gray squirrel, Is made of wool velour, Squirrel looks well on the wine, blue and green shades of the Present season and combines beautl- fully with the soft ‘glove finish” of wool fabrics. The suit pictured Is a conservative model with a straight- hanging coat, belted in at the waist. line and trimmed to long points at each side. It is plain except for big Patch pockets, also trimmed in points to correspond with the coat, Several of the French designers are turning to Japan for much of their inspiration this autumn. ‘This proba- bly means that we shall see Japanese motifs In embroidery, as much as we saw them last year, on the new frocks, Syeescntiens Nl Si A VAFIOWAIACA PERSE WL A Wer Ree ASA ie a Toe FAM an eT Rte SS Ne ZEA hie PISS ; R SA4 RA 2s A WA Ae sia eee re CALAIS Y . =o Nation’s Celebrities Gathered at Washington W. when your wohntey GME Geer Ate fae eeteiriel we oud ae fo Nashington. Strolling through the corridors of Washington's hotels in the course of a day, one wonders if there are any celebrities left in New York. The hero worshipers must have to confine their worshiping to the movie stars and chorus girls, because all of the literary and art high-lights seem to be In Washington. Newspaper men of note have taken up their permanent headquar- ters in the national capital. The fourth estate is represented here by tne cream of the nation’s Journalists, and lunch time at the Press club appears like @ congress of famous Journalists gathered to debate ways and means, Famous artists, ranging trom “Tad,” who draws comics for the delight of newspaper readers throughout the country, to Henry Reuterdahl, whose marine paintings are welcomed in any salon, roam the streets of Washing- ton. ‘The paragraphers have had thelr fling at fun In the senate and depart- ments. Don Marquis has brought his “archie” here, while “F. P. A.” has worried the mailman with his great number of contributions which go to make up “The Conning Tower.” ‘The sporting men are not altogether missing. John K. Tener, president of the National league, has come here, and scores of other men in the Spotlight of sport come and go, most of them coming here to join the aviation corps, which is regarded as the sporting war gaine. All of these are the “foreign celebrities.” There are, of course, Washing- ton’s own celebrities.

CORRECT ENGLISH. Much attention is being given to the teaching of correct grammar. Various newspapers and periodicals are devoting much space to this much needed instruction. Adults as well as children have forgotten, or become careless, and have never taken or had the opportunity to know how to speak correctly. However, we have learned that some sentences make statements, others ask questions, some give commands or make requests, while others exclaim about something. These sentences have names according to their different uses. Consult your grammar and learn the definitions of the four different kinds of sentences. And decide whether each of the following sentences is declarative, interrogative, imperative or exclamatory and give your reason to some reader of the Sun. "Mr. Roscoe Jamison of St. Joseph, Mo., will be the first Negro poet to have a poem reproduced by the Anatheology of Magazine verse"; "Have you thought of the woeful neglect of our youth today?" "Do not write back home that you have found a land of plenty, place of equal rights to all and finally return looking starved and humbled"; "How difficult it is to be good and to be idle at the same time!" "There are few who like comparisons except when the comparison is in their favor" "Is it not right to believe that every editor who desires to issue a better publication, every second wife who desires to be a better housekeeper than the former wife, will come nearer being what he or she ought to do and be if too many comparisons are not made?" "Consider the applause or silence of the multitude and refrain from writing or speaking as the conscience dictates"; "We know what we are, but know not what we may be."
