A GREAT SERMON What is the heart of Christianity? our hearts. Not the Christ who is Some will answer, "Living like" external; a Christ who is on the out- Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter VOLUME X. NUMBER 7. SUBJECT: "THE HOPE OF GLORY." The following sermon, delivered Sunday, October 7, 1811, by W. H. Thomas, D. O. Pasquier of Allen Chapel A.M. H. Church, Kansas City, Missouri, was stenographically reported by Miss Susie Recola Goodwin, now pursuing the Post Graduate Course in the Commercial Department at Western University, Quindaro, Kansas. Your attention this morning is invited to the words which are found in Colossians, first chapter and the 27th verse. "Christ in you, the hope of Glory," and the subject which we draw from these words is "The Hope of Glory." This is the last Sunday of the Conference year. Life's beginnings and life's endings are always significant. We think of those who began the Conference year with us and who are the year closes have left us. Where have they gone? Our hearts seem to answer the question, "The Beautiful Isle of Somewhere." We don't know all of their immortality, REV. WILLIAM H. THOMAS, D. D. who has been not only the efficient pastor of Allen Chapel, but has been the leader of his people in all civil social and economic movements for their advancement regardless of religious or political affiliations. but we do know that part of their immortality is on this side of the stars. It is in our hearts and in the hearts of all earnest, loving, striving people who share their faith in God. Christianity is a religion of hope. Hope for the individual and hope for the world. The church finds itself confronted with a new world crisis. The world has always had its burdens to bear, but the burden which has been laid upon the heart of the world in this day and time is harder and heavier than in any previous period of the world's history. For every church must meet this double test. Is it of God? Is it of man? Does it speak of God? Does it minister to the needs of man? Never in any previous age of the world's history has the opportunity of the church to speak of God been greater. Never in any previous age of the world's history has the opportunity of the church to minister to the needs of man been greater, and the great question which we are asked is not what will the church lose, but the great question is, what will the church gain? We speak of this temple in which we worship as being Allen Chapel Church, but you cannot make a church out of brick and mortar and boards and glass. You can make a building in which the church may meet out of such rude material. The church itself is formed out of consecrated flesh and blood. The church is a living organic structure having resident within it the spirit of the living God, and thus worthy to be known as the body of Christ. And for what ideals does the church stand? Fraternal societies devote themselves to emphasizing the one truth, "The Brotherhood of Man." The Labor Union stands for justice for all toilers. The Civic League stands for the betterment of our civic conditions, but the church is brave enough to stand up in the face of all the pain and anguish and struggles of the world and say: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven." The Kansas City Sun Christ." Others will answer, "To know God." But to answer that question in the light of the New Testament, we say that the heart of Christianity is to have a personal relation and a personal touch with Jesus Christ. Christ said, "I will build My Church." This was the fundamental purpose of his life. How did he build his church? He wrote no book, he painted no picture, he organized no army, he formed no ritual or creed. How, then, did he build his church? He gathered a few lives about him, saturated and filled with his spirit, and said of these will I build my church. Paul speaks of this as being a mystery. "Christ in you, the hope of Glory." And Paul uses the word mystery in this way: he meant a truth which had been hidden, but now revealed. The Greek mysteries were revealed only to the initiative, to a few select, and they were strictly kept from the multitude. But Paul's mystery was revealed to all. It was an open secret. "Christ in you, the hope of Glory." Not a few, but for the many, but you say Glory is something which can only come to the man or woman who is greatly gifted, and there are few among us who attain glory, very few. It is a rare thing to meet with a man or woman who has an idea of attaining what the world calls glory, and yet the Apostle Paul says here in the text that the hope of Glory is set before each one of us, even the humblest among us. Just recently here in Kansas City, we observed Old Glory Week, the object of which was a rebaptism of the spirit of Americanism. But Old Glory Week in all of its observance was for the white man only and not for the black man. We were not permitted to go to Electric Park and there have the fires of patriotism kindled within us by the war exhibits and the pageants. It was Old Glory week for some; it was Old Shame week for others. The shame of ostracism. The shame of unjust discrimination; but here is Glory for all. "The Hope of Glory." What is this glory, which every Christian, even the humblest among us, may attain unto? I answer first of all, it is the glory of character, and character is the sum total of a man's good qualities. We hear a great deal in this day and time about valuation, land valuation. I know very little about it, but I do know that there are some interests in our moral life which need revaluation. Take this very word Glory. It needs revaluation. It is like a coin which has long been in use and which by use has worn thin; lost its weight; so the word Glory has become cheapened and debased. Glory. When you hear the word mentioned, what do you think of? You think of rank, of title, of birth and wealth; but these are the mere trappings of the man, and not the man himself. They are his clothes, so to speak. A man's real glory depends not on what he has, but on what he is; not upon his possessions, but upon his character. The glory that depends upon externals is uncertain, temporal, rich today poor tomorrow, in the public eye today, in obscurity tomorrow; but the glory of goodness is permanent. It is beyond even the reach of the cold icy hand of death. The righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance. Fame, title, health and wealth all may go, but character remains. A man who had been rich came home one night and said to his wife: "Wife, we have lost everything, and the sheriff will come tomorrow and sell us out." But that man had a brave, courageous woman for a wife, and facing that desperate husband, she said to him: "Husband, will he sell me?" and the man said "No." "Will he sell you?" And the man said "No." "Will he sell our dear little children?" "No." "Will he sell our characters and our hope and our faith in God?" "No." Then said the courageous wife, "You have simply lost the external. We have the real things left: Manhood, womanhood, childhood, character, hope and faith." "Christ in you, the hope of Glory." You will notice that the Apostle says "in you," in the indwelling Christ; not the Christ simply in the Bible; not the Christ of the church; not the Christ who is simply a figure on the pages of history; but the Christ who lives and moves and has his being in our hearts. Not the Christ who is external; a Christ who is on the out KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1917. side of us, a Christ who is simply our example and our ideal: No, it must be a Christ within, living and inspiring us. Christ in you. When Jesus enters a man's life and takes possession of his heart, the most amazing transformation not only becomes possible, but certain. The woman who was a sinner became an example of virtue. Zaccheus, the miser, became a philatropist; Augustine, the rake, became St. Augustine, the preacher. This was Paul's open secret. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me and is the way to victory over self and sin and to the attainment of a holy life. Paul gives us here in this simple text: "Christ in you, the hope of Glory." Here is glory for all, the rich, the poor, the great, the small of every tribe and nation. The Sistene Chapel in Rome is adorned with beautiful angel faces, one of the wonders of the world, and these angel faces in that beautiful chapel were painted by Michael Angelo. Where did Michael Angelo ever see angel faces in order to reproduce them? It is said that he was frequently found walking in the suburbs and in the slums of the city of Rome, and as he went he studied the faces of the little beggar children in all their squalor and filth and dirt and those beautiful angel faces which adorn that beautiful chapel in Rome were simply the faces of those dirty beggar children which Angelo saw playing in the streets of the city; transfigured by his genius. But Jesus Christ can work a greater transformation than that. He can take a sinner, the vilest sinner, and make him a saint. He can take a Magdalene, an outcast woman, and make her a Madonna. He can take a miser and make him a philanthropist. He can take a rake and make him a preacher. This is what Jesus Christ can do if you will simply let him into your heart. Have you let him into your heart; into your life? He has knocked at your door; have you let him in? If you have, he can work a transfiguration in your life. Then what glory will be yours, "for as many as received Him to them gave He the right to be called the children of God, even unto them that believe on His name." "Oh that will be Glory, Glory for me, yes, Glory for me, When by His Grace, I shall look on His face, That will be glory for me, glory for me." The Lincoln High School Community Meeting for October 21st will be in the interest of the Parental Home for colored boys and girls of Kansas City. Mr. H. R. Farnum, president of the Colored Children's Improvement Association, and the officers will make a supreme effort to enlist several hundred members who can be counted upon to give their influence in the interest of this parental home. Mr. Farnum will be present and preside; along with him will be Judge Porter B. Goddard, attorney for Board of Education; Mr. James A. Nugent, member of the school board; Mr. John R. Ransom, police commissioner; Mr. Chas. Young, attorney, and Judge E. E. Porterfield of the Juvenile Court. Along with these gentlemen certain prominent women of the Women's Clubs, who are anxious to help us secure this parental home, will be present; among them, Mrs. G. W. Addison, Mrs. H. H. McClure and Mrs. Edwin Knapp of the Athenaeum and Council of Women's Clubs. This is one of the most important meetings that has ever been held in this city in the interest of the colored wayward youth. The purpose is to secure a home for colored boys and girls similar to the McCune and Parental. Home for white boys and girls.

THE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. One week has now passed since we announced our handling of raincoats, cravenettes and gambardines for men, women and children, and the interest shown by the public in taking advantage of our offer to save money by making a trip to our place is certain evidence of the fact that the Negro is waking up. He is acting in time, he is not waiting for the cold blasts of winter and the high prices of hard times to catch him unprepared. At this time we are emphasizing our invitation to the public to give us an immediate call, save money and take your choice of the biggest line of raincoats of all kinds in the city. G. A.

The White Man Chooses Our Leaders and We Accept Them. The National Council of Colored Workers Shall Be Spokesman for the Working Class Colored Man Hereafter. By Rucker Smith. How would you like to be a Gompers, the president of the A. F. of L., or rather, wouldn't this race of segregated, jimcrowed and much despised black people be better off if they had a Gompers. Who is Gompers? Is he a leader of the white race? No. But he is the servant of the organized white working class. Does he mislead his people, like certain big interest has tried to impress upon the minds of the weaklings of the white working class? No. On the contrary, he has made himself so indispensable to this class, they have kept him in office for years, as the president of the American Federation of Labor. Was he a preacher or school teacher before he was placed in that position? No. He was a sincere working man with the peculiar ability to serve his fellow white workmen. Do the people who choose him as their leader, or rather, spokesman, honor him? Yes, he is an American white man and his whole sympathy is with them. You say he is not leader of the white race? No. [Picture of a man in a suit]. no one man could, with justice to all, be a leader of a race. If that is so, why is it that we Colored people are taught to honor one man as leader for the entire race? If a business man, preacher or teacher of the white race can not lead the working class, and do justice to them, how can we succeed as a working class without choosing one of our class and race to serve us? Are we smarter than the white working class? I think not. If we are, we have a mighty poor way of showing it. Dear workers, I say these things because they are not only true, but so plainly discernible, I do not see why we, as a race, have overlooked them. We imitate the white race in everything, why haven't we followed his method of class protection? The people, white people mostly, of this nation elect a president, but the working class white man does not accept him as their leader; if one colored man is chosen president of a certain school, he is designated as our leader by the white race; and if the President of the United States wishes to treat with the race on some subject, this leader who has been appointed by them, without our consent, is called on to handle serious questions for the entire race without our consent. Is this fair? The National Council of Colored Workers will meet Sunday, October 14th, at 1315 East 18th street, in the back of Mr. Hopkins' real estate office, at 3 p. m. The public is invited. J. L.

FROM BLADES OF GRASS. By Charles A. Starks. ‘Tis morning. I lie in bed, gazing out my kitehen window, looking per- haps for some hints of a sunshiny day. 1 finally note a few blades of grass with pointed tongues reaching up above the rock sill; these are brist- ling with a golden color which I know is not their own, and I conclude from this that the Sun is awake to the Sun, because the sun never moves, but lives and shines always, without ceasing, It cannot stop, it must shine, it must reflect the great prin: ciple of life-truth. But why do I only see one bright beam enjeweling the blades of grass: when there is an old wagon nearby and an old barn and other objects un der the sun's light? The thought comes to me that it is the location ‘of these blades of grass that peculiar izes them and appears to give them ‘greater glory. The other objects may be hidden even by other objects and lare therefore denied this present jglory. ‘This I have called position | because in a like manner it is true o! ‘us. ‘The Sun does not move—Trutt (does not change. If some object: ‘seem more glorified than others, we have learned it is owing to their po ‘sition. If the light of truth seems brighter in some people than it doe: in others, it is because of their differ ence of attitude. The Sun dos not move; truth does not change, but mer are restless creatures. And as I lie look and write, I note now that every thing is aglow with livelier hue. The old wagon, the old barn are now shin ing with the gliding’ dye of the Sun From this gleam that though some ob jects by their peculiar position re flect the sunshine before others, stil ‘all obpects are sure to be affectec sooner or later. And so learn th |truth—some early, some late. But al |shall know, All shall see the ligh’ of heaven. This thought makes m¢ |glad, and I find myself thanking th blades of grass—the reflection—thi | sun—God! WHAT PROHIBITION IS DOING FOR THE NEGRO. One of the most astonishing revolu tions in history is taking place in the southern states, A few years ago, despite all the optimistic talk of ‘his friends, the Ne gro was getting ahead chiefly as ¢ consumer of whisky. Today good times and prohibition together are making not only good citizens but sub stantial citizens of thousands of Ne groes who a few years ago owned 4 hound dog and a whisky appetite an¢ nothing else, Mr. N. L. Willett, writing in the Au gusta Chronicle, says that within a hundrednile radius of Augusta it is estimated that from 3,000 to 5,000 au tomobiles, ranging in value from $40¢ to $1,300, will be sold this season te ‘Negro farmers, One agent in Augusta ‘according to Mr. Willett, has already sold this fall 35 $1,300 cars and near » every one of them went to Negroes White men throughout the South are regarding the change with great complacency.

D., accompanied by his cadets and famous choir made a joyful noise in Allen Chapel Sunday afternoon.

Monday night the last class meeting of the Conference year was held; Dr. J. F. Griffen and members of the First A. M. E. Church Kansas City, Kans., were present and a glorious meeting was held.

To the Colored Brotherhood: This is to call your attention to the meeting of the Inter-National Christian Missionary Convention in Kansas City, Mo., October 24-31, 1917. Also call your attention to the great need of a national meeting of Negroes of the church. We consider we have in the meeting of the Inter-National Convention of Brotherhood here this fall, a great opportunity for a wise and helpful meeting in all respects for the Negro Christian Brotherhood. The three Colored Christian Churches of Greater Kansas City, their friends and sister churches join in cordially inviting the Brotherhood to Kansas City, and will make you welcome. Kansas City is in the territory of the disciples of Christ and is one of their strongholds, and the central states of the Mississippi Valley hold a big population of the Brotherhood of both races. Kansas City can be easily reached by railroads from all sections of the country. To the convention there will be special rates on all railroads to Kansas City. We can meet on this occasion in Kansas City much cheaper in all respects than any other city. We can witness the great Inter-National Convention and be in the atmosphere of one of the greatest religious Missionary bodies in the world. A part of the sessions will be held in the Second Christian Church, Twenty-fourth and Woodland Ave. The program of these sessions will be National in scope and nature. Some of our greatest preachers, speakers and workers of both races have accepted places on the program. The program will consist largely of symposium, conferences and round table talks respecting our local, state and National Missionary Educational work. The evening addresses will be made by men and women of the church of National reputation as convention and platform speakers. Representatives and Secretaries of the National Missionary Boards, and our National Field Workers have promised to be on hand and take part in the program. We claim the race has much in Kansas City, of which to be proud, and that you will enjoy. It will be well worth your time and money to spend a few days in Kansas City, especially on such a mission. So, all in all, this will be a great meeting ror you to attend, and we urge our ministers and faithful workers throughout the country to come.

EDITORIALS. The Sun was favored with a pleasant call from Mr. Fred C. Williams, traveling representative of the Omaha Monitor. He is a p leasing gentleman to meet and makes friends wherever he goes. The attention of the Society for the Suppression of Commercialized Vice is called to the fact that there is still a very noticeable vice district in the North End which appears to be run by very low Negro women for still lower white men. It is indeed gratifying to note that the Lincoln Open Air School is already full and has aconsiderable waiting list. Parents have not been slow to appreciate the benefits of this modern treatment of delicate children and improvement in the health of the children are already being realized. In the continued illness of Dr. H. T. Kealing many friends have just cause for alarm over the probable outcome. Dr. Kealing is one of our really great men and one that we are by no means prepared to lose. His high order of intellectual, moral, social and religious service has for many years been one of the most highly cherished assets of the whole race. Starting with a matinee Sunday, October 14, The Dubinsky Brothers' Stock Company will begin their fourth successful week of permanent stock at the Grand with a splendid production of that clever comedy, "A Pair of Sixes," which is hailed as one of the funniest comedies ever seen in Kansas City. "A Pair of Sixes" was seen last season at the Shubert at two dollar prices and the Dubinsky Brothers will give an exact production of the play as first presented in New York, giving the theatergoers of Kansas City an opportunity to witness this attraction for the first time at popular prices. Charming Irene Daniel will appear in the part originally played by Ann Murdock in New York. Chester Bishop, Charles Cubine, Barney Dubinsky, Lloyd Sabine, Hazel Stone, Lorena Tolson, Gladys Bush and Fred Butler will be seen in comedy roles. The bargain matinees on Sunday, Thursday and Saturday have proved very popular. Marguerite Henry "Which One Shall I Marry?" is the new play by Ralph T. Kettering which Rowland and Howard are producing this year. It will be presented at the Garden all next week. The play is an allegory, and shows a young girl standing at the "crossroads of life" intent upon the question which is so engrossing to every girl. "Which One Shall I Marry?"—this is the question—and it is also the title and theme of the play. It is simple in story, but intensely interesting from its heart appeal, and abounds in comedy of the most amusing description. The Irish aristocracy is shown in the person of Mike Moran. The author sums up his intent in writing the play, when he says: "The play only consumes a single hour of life, and still covers Aeons of time in telling." The first and last acts form a complete play. The management of the Garden Theatre have opened up the entire mezzinine or box floor to the colored people. The prices will be 20 and 30 cents. These prices apply to the engagement starting Sunday, October 14th and all the time every week thereafter. Classified Wants and Rooms to Rent WANTED AT ONCE.

Hurse, and his deacons, invaded Allen 250 strong, and one of the most glorious halleluj, spiritual services ever held within its historic walls was enjoyed by the large congregation of all denominations who were in attendance.

Griffin has divided his church in Odd and Even clubs—fifty clubs on either side; each club required to report $25.00 each at the Grand Rally, October 28. The pastor and members are trying to make rapid strides toward paying off the heavy indebtedness. Men's day was observed at the A. M. E. Cchurch. A rare treat was enjoyed by all and the church was crowded with men.

Weaver, Kansas City's live wire and hustling business man, visited Oklahoma last week for the purpose of advertising the Afro-American Automobile Training School of Kansas City of which he is president and founder. Mr. Weaver was a guest of the Negro State Fair Association at Muskogee. From there he went to Tulsa and Talequah; then to Smithville, just five miles out from Oklahoma City, to visit his foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Smith better known as Deep Fork Smith, the cotton king, the founder of Smithville. Mr. Weaver spent his boyhood days on the farm with his foster parents and says the credit is due them for his inspiration and whatever success he has made in life. Mr. Weaver is president and founder of the Afro-American Investment and Employment Company, Inc. Though this company he has been the connecting link between the white property owners and business firms and the Negro citizens of Greater Kansas City he has made it possible for them to buy nice, modern homes in desirable sections of the city on the easy payment plan and to furnish them employment while paying for them. He is the founder of the Kansas City branch of National Negro Business League and has been its president for the past nine years. Through this institution hundreds of Negro men and women have been encouraged to open up business enterprises of various kinds in and about Kansas City. Through his earnest work in the League and his co-operation with the late Booker T. Washington, the National Negro Business League was entertained last year in Kansas City. At this meeting Mr. Weaver was elected as one of the members of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Weaver and his devoted wife, Mrs. Bessie M. Weaver, also own and operate the Weaver Florist and Fruit Shop at 1510 East Eighteenth Street, Kansas City, Mo. This is one of the most popular and best patronized Negro business places in Kansas City. Their floral department furnishes hundreds of dollars worth of flowers each month for parties, weddings and funerals both in and out of the city. The various lodges and societies order their floral designs for funerals by telegraph or telephone and they are made up and sent in perfect condition hundreds of miles away. Mr. Weaver says there is no line of work at the present time that offers the Negro man or boy such a fine opportunity as the automobile mechanic and chauffeur. Hundreds of good positions and openings for repair shops await the Negro who has the ability to repair, rebuild and keep automobiles running and for this reason he is giving his valuable time and attention to the establishment of the Afro-American Automobile Training School for Negroes. There are hundreds of our men and boys who have not had the opportunity to educate themselves along professional lines. Neither have they had a chance to learn a trade. This school offers them a rare opportunity to learn the most interesting trade of them all, and one that will enable them to go anywhere in the country and earn big wages. It only takes eight weeks to master the trade and the cost is only $75 for the complete course in the school. Mr. Weaver says the Negroes of Oklahoma own more automobiles than the Negroes of any other state in the Union, and the majority of them own high grade cars. Quite a number of our men and boys took out scholarships in the school and will report in Kansas City within the next thirty days.—The Black Dispatch, Oklahoma City, Okla. MONEY TO LOAN.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Cranks From All Sections Seek to See President WASHINGTON.—The real president of the United States arrived in Washington the other day. He admitted it. "I come," he announced, as he stepped off the train from Keokul, "to take possession of the White House. Wilson was elected by fraud. I will A man throws a ball. I COME TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE WHITE HOUSE WILSON WUZ ELECTED BY FRAUD "Welcome," said a cordial secret service man. "Permit me to escort you to the White House." Whereupon the self-styled president was whirled to police headquarters. Eventually he held forth in pomp at the psychopathic ward of the Washington Asylum hospital. In the last few months this institution has welcomed a few other presidents, the Queen of Canada (who had come to ask Secretary McAdoo for $500,000 for coronation expenses), the Most August Oracle of the People (including Mexico), numerous crack-brained inventors, miscellaneous "chums" of the president (who just wanted to chat with him), and sundry other members of the batty battalion. One chap—educated and ostensibly intelligent—came all the way from California to arrest the president. He ran the secret service guantlet at the Union station and calmly walked up to the White House before guards nabbed him. Another sage came from New York with a weird tale of the shooting of 400 German spies on the Brooklyn bridge every day. He wanted President Wilson to have the same system started in Washington. Eagle-eyed plain-clothes men stem the tide of cranks at the Union station. Only the cleverest crank can get near the White House. And it takes a sane man to get inside. Why One Treasury Official Is Short on Vacation Why One Treasury Official Is Short on Vacation BYRON R. NEWTON, as assistant secretary of the treasury, has had occasion to dispense a few hundred millions for the erection of public buildings. But such fiscal gymnastics are not helping him one bit when it comes to recovering that $50 of the Newton family's money which went up in smoke a few days ago. THE 850 As a result Mr. Newton, who sits all day in the home of the greenback and talks amiably with foreign gentlemen about billion-dollar loans, faces two alternatives. Either he curtails a vacation or he floats a personally conducted Liberty loan of his own to finance a much-needed trip. It happened like this. A few evenings ago Mr. Newton wended his way homeward to dine with his family, and Mrs. Newton called his attention to two articles of which she thought the assistant secretary was in need. One was a pair of garters. The other was the roll of bills—$50 worth of them. Mr. Newton seized upon the garters and thoughtfully placed the bills inside the garter box. Then Mrs. Newton proceeded to impress upon him the urgent need of the vacation. Next morning the frugal Mrs. Newton asked if Mr. Newton had put that money in a safe place. No wife would trust even an assistant secretary of the treasury when it comes to his own household finances. Her suspicions were fully justified. Mr. Newton searched his pockets, racked his brain, and then remembered he had put the money in the garter box. And a careful maid, it was later discovered, had cast the garter box into the fireplace. It was a case of money to ashes, of vacation to the four winds, and Byron R. Newton back to figuring on the expenditure of hundreds of millions in new taxes, but not a cent for vacation. Capital Crowded as Never Before in History EVERY department of the government is engaged in drawing recruits to the national capital. More than 15,000 clerks, alone, have been brought here since the United States cast itself into the war. The regular public buildings were filled to their utmost capacity long ago. In the big State, War and Navy building the corridors of every floor except that occupied by the three respective cabinet members are filled with desks and busy people. Outside, all over town, vacant office buildings have been rented. The other day I heard John J. Fitzgerald, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, who has much to do with the subject, declared that there was not left in 2021. long ago. In the big State, War and Navy building the corridors of every floor except that occupied by the three respective cabinet members are filled with desks and busy people. Outside, all over town, vacant office buildings have been rented. The other day I heard John J. Fitzgerald, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, who has much to do with the subject, declared that there was not left in Washington a single building for rent. The rents of apartment houses have joined the aviation corps, and many natives have felt compelled to seek cheaper quarters to make room for the influx of war boomers. Houses of the best grade, long a drug on the market, are now in such demand that an unoccupied one is hard to find. Before Mr. Wilson and his Democrats came here this city was the favorite refuge of the rich and the overrich. Congress had exempted all form of securities from taxation in the District of Columbia and there was no income tax to annoy one. Since this ceased to be a haven for money and also since Mr. Wilson married a widow whose husband had been "in trade" a lot of these people have abandoned their palaces and gone elsewhere, leaving their Washington windows planked and the grounds shabby. Recreation Keeps President Fit for Hard Work EACH day sees the solution by President Wilson in a few hours of some great problem which in the old days before the war would have been given weeks and even months of consideration before a decision was reached. Numerous special boards have been given special problems for solution. Seldom does any board reach a decision without the president's assistance. Usually a board will become deadlocked after considering a question for several weeks and will rush to the White House for the president's advice. Sometimes the president will go to the office of the board itself to render his assistance. GOLF Then after the whole situation has been laid before the president he will consider it for a comparatively few hours and announce a decision. Sometimes the decision is given as that of the board. More frequently the president announces it and takes the responsibility himself. In the whirlwind of events it probably is thought outside of Washington that the president has little time for entertainment. Nothing is further from the truth. Each morning at 8:30 he goes for a game of golf. He is away from the White House until 10:30. After a bath and a change of clothing he is ready for the day's business. Most of his work is done between eleven in the morning and one o'clock in the afternoon, when he has lunch. After lunch he receives two or three callers and then goes out for a drive through one of the city's parks. In the evening he goes either for a drive or to the theater. One evening out of every week he spends at a vaudeville show. Another he devotes to a current theater attraction, frequently a musical comedy. Sometimes he takes a turn around the Speedway after the theater before returning to the White House. The president accomplishes a great deal of work each day and undoubtedly he could do more if necessary. He believes, however, that a certain amount of relaxation is necessary to keep him in the best possible trim. It is only when there is business of a very pressing nature that he foregoes the theater and his golf game. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1917 What Can We Do? When the men of the National Army are located in the training camps they begin to look for letters from relatives and friends. There is a friendly rivalry among them in the matter of numbers of letters and cards received, About the easiest and most agreeable thing we can do for those we know is to drop an occasional line or so Another convenience for the men in cantonments is an inexpensive, small portfolio, made of linen or khaki. It is about nine inches wide and fifteen inches long, with pockets on one end for stationery stamps, cards, and for three blotters, one above the other, fastened at the corners, on the other end. At the center there are two loops, made of narrow straps of linen, to hold the pen and pencil. The blotters make a writing surface, thus serving a double purpose. Even ink can be carried now in small sticks to be dissolved in water when needed. This portfolio is a simple affair, easy to make and very convenient. A leather portfolio may be taken as a model. Made of denim or khaki the soldier's portfolio weighs next to nothing and will stand wear. The men are kept busy and do not find it always easy to get mail off; also they are sometimes dilatory. It is a good idea to address envelopes and cards, enclose writing paper in the envelopes and stamp them. Mail a package of this ready-addressed stationery to the boy in camp and all he has to do is to write and seal the envelope ready for mailing, or merely write his message on a ready addressed post card. Fads And Fancies Of Fashion THE LADY OF THE MUSEUM DISTINCTIVE SEPARATE SKIRTS. Two things, above all others, are required for the success of the separate skirt. When it is made in plain, familiar materials it must be rescued from the commonplace by faultless fit and workmanship. When made of novelty weaves the selection of unusual and appropriate patterns reflects the best talent or modistes. It takes an instinct for dress or an educated taste to make the most of the separate skirt. with its opportunity for variation with different blouses and its all-around usefulness for afternoon and evening wear. Julia Bottomley New materials and models in extra coats are coming in for their share of attention and one must be hard to please who cannot find a coat or cape to her fancy. An unusual cape coat is of prim Quaker gray wool jersey cloth, the garment falling to the bottom of the dress. The sleeves are in gathered bishop shape, the collar convertible above a flat pointed hood. Flat, pointed pockets adorn the packet front, which is betted in closely. A navy blue novelty cloth with a large overline plaid of yellow is made in the same model and has a high military turban made of the same material. Beautiful color combinations. In broad and narrow stripes, and original methods in making are found in the new separate skirts for afternoon wear. Some very handsome plaids are among them but stripes afford better opportunities for the designer. A fine example of what may be done with them appears in the picture above. Taffeta, in black, old blue and white stripes, laid in wide plaits makes a skirt that can afford to dispense with any cost of trimming. It hangs from a high walstiline where three overlapping bias folds make a wide girdle extending to the hip. The same fold is laid in the semblance of a pocket at each side finished with a row of small black, silk-covered buttons. Renew Old Silk Dress. Cut a piece of cardboard the width of the hem and about five or six inches long. Lay the cardboard on the hem, lengthwise, and trim it off half an inch narrower than the hem. Open a seam on the under side and slip in the cardboard, running it back close to the stitching, then turn the broken edge over the cardboard and overcast. The cardboard prevents any stitches from showing or going through and makes a more even edge. There is a wide range of color combinations to choose from in the striped and plaid silks and satins shown in the shops and they promise an increased vogue for handsome separate skirts. Blouses to be worn with these skirts, are most effective when made of the same shade as one of the colors in the material. For informal dress such a costume merits consideration INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE CITIES New York Cafe Owner Has Moving Tale of Woe New York Cafe Owner Has Moving Tale of Woe NEW YORK.—Michael Ginty made it clear to the police of the West Thirty-seventh street station that he never again will hear without questioning the voice of man or bird. At two o'clock he figured himself out $50 and in one porter, but when he left the city one parrot, but when he left the station house his conduct indicated that the parrot may not be long for this world. I OUGHTA WRING YER NECK Mr. Ginty, who owns a saloon at 331 West One Hundred and Thirty-seventh street, explained that early one morning, before he shut off all faucets and counted the proceeds, a wretch entered his place of business with a parrot. The parrot was good appearing, as the police could see, and, when he appeared at Mr. Ginty's damp ring he seemed to have a marvelous vocabulary. Mr. Ginty told the stranger that never in his life had he listened to as well educated a bird. To which tribute the bird rapidly replied at that time: "Well educated! My dear fellow, you have no idea what I know. I know it all, if anyone should happen to ask you, and I'm always willing to chirp at a moment's notice." Mr. Ginty told the police that the owner of this marvelous conversation-alist made no effort to sell the bird, but that he, Mr. Ginty, had asked if he might buy it. The man appeared reluctant to part with the parrot, but when Mr. Ginty had raised the price until it was $50 the man consented to sell. He bade the bird good-by and assured both Mr. Ginty and the parrot that the parting gave him great pain. He had reached the door when the parrot, looking after him called: "Remember, boss, if you are such a cur that you'd sell me like this I'll never speak another word till you come back and get me again." "Don't mind that," called the owner to Mr. Ginty, "he'll get over his grouch." After which the owner vanished. For five hours Mr. Ginty tried to get a single intelligent word out of the parrot. Then a customer dropped in and made a suggestion which sent Mr. Ginty scurrying to the police station, parrot in hand. It appears that the man who sold the parrot is a ventriloquist and has broken cafe owner's hearts in all five boroughs. The birds, far from being well educated, are more of the other. They're speechless. "Clients" of Fortune Teller Somewhat Peevish "Clients" of Fortune Teller Somewhat Peevish ALLENTOWN, PA.—After a hearing before Alderman Gotthardt here, Isaac Hertzog of Nazareth was held for trial at court on a charge of fortune telling. The accusation was brought by Mrs. Mary Brong, who testified that in two years she had vainly paid Hertzog $83 to recover some silver spoons and a sewing machine that had been stolen. It turns out that Hertzog visited Allentown every week for "consultations" with his customers. Mrs. Brong said she could "feel" when he arrived in town, and then she was impelled to visit him and give him money. I WISH TH' SNAKE WOULD HURRY UP WITH TH' SPOONS AM SEWIN' MACHINE On one occasion, she said, Hertzog declared the thief would assume the form of a snake and come wriggling along with the spoons and the sewing machine, but no snake ever appeared. He had given her a large collection of roots, and a number of "benedictions," which he signed with the names of the saints. Another witness against Hertzog was pretty Miss Mamie Schoch, in a short blue skirt and with a vanity box, which she used frequently. She testified she had paid Hertzog 50 cents for the receipt of an incantation "to get back her bean," who had transferred his affections to another girl. Hertzog told her to squeeze a bag of salt and repeat the three hardest words in the dictionary. She followed instructions; but her lover remained recreant. Hertzog's defense was that his customers took up his time when they consulted him and he was entitled to pay. He seems to have had customers by the score for years, some of whom seemed to like being bamboozled. Mere Man Tires of Too Much Feminine Curiosity S. T. LOUIS. - Fifty to one—and then some—is too many. A. Hubell says so—and he knows. An island in an ocean of girls is mild in comparison. A. Hubell is a cook in a kitchen full of cookresses. He's the one lone man down at food, conservation, headwriters. at food conservation headquarters. That is, he was. He canned peaches and he canned pears, he canned tomatoes and he canned potatoes—and now he's canned himself. HERE'S WHERE I QUIT Every morning Hubell has given a demonstration on canning. Besides the some odd fifty nifty maids in the kitchen, there are some odd but not so nifty women who come to learn to can. They stand just outside the kitchen—looking in. The other day Hubell, in his most becoming bib and apron, was showing how pears are canned. The crowd go how pears are canned. The crowd gathered thick about him. "Hasn't he big arms?" a woman whispered. "You cook the juice to a thick sirup." Hubell said, seeming not to hear. "How thick?" came an inquiring chorus. "And then you add more sugar," Hubell continued, getting ready to measure the amount to be added. "How much sugar?" screamed the chorus, and someone remarked on the misfit of Hubell's apron. "Now you sterilize the jars." Hubell went on. "Do you do the same for apples?" asked a woman nudging to the front. "My blackberry jam won't jell," said another. "Do you think soda is good in tomatoes?" queried one close by. "How do you make sauerkraut?" someone demanded. Hubell set down the pears. He wiped his brow. He turned to a conservation committee member. "You can count me out," he said. "I can can apples, blackberries, tomatoes and sauerkraut. But I can't can 'em with pears." Women Pilfer Zoo Buffalos' Fur for Cushions Women Pilfer Zoo Buffalos' Fur for Cushions SAN FRANCISCO.—The hides of the buffalos in Golden Gate park these days look like the next to the last picture in the "going, going, gone" advertisements of a certain hair restorer. Attendants have been wondering why women who passed up the herd in the days of its hirsute glory have been flocking about the corral as the buffaloes become homelier than ever. I HOPE I CAN GET ENOUGH FOR A SOFA PILLOW "They even pet the big brushes, said one puzzled attendant. He walked over to the pen, determined to get the secret of the feminine change of heart. He learned the women were not fondling the buffalos, but trying to help nature along by pulling out their fur. The big beasts seemed to appreciate it, as they stood quietly by the heavy picket fence through which the women reached. Now everybody is happy. picket fence through which the women reached. Now everybody is happy. The park attendants are glad, because the buffaloes, if their fur is piled by women, won't try to rub it off on the trees, which generally suffer in the process. The buffaloes are happy because fur pulls off a lot more easily than it rubs off, and the former system sort of tickles. And the women are joyous, because they are getting a lot of buffalo fur, which is ideal for sofa cushions. HOMETOWN HELPS HOME-OWNING AIDS THRIFT Being Tied to One Place Is More Profitable Than Being Foot-Free and Homeless. The owning of a home, a fortune greatly desired by every man, is achievable by most men. And yet the proportion of Americans who live in rented quarters grows larger year by year. One of the prime reasons for this increasing tenancy is that an increasing proportion of earners are employees, and being employees they wish to hold themselves free to move as better employment may offer itself. To this hope of better employment the home of a home is easily sacrificed. The fear of being tied to a home is not uncommon in those who are not employees, says the Minneapolis Journal. Some are not content to settle down permanently, being lured by the enchantment of the beyond—that beyond being the other side of the continent or the other side of the street. Moving becomes a habit, made easy by those whose business is transportation. But in the end the habit is expensive. As a matter of everyday demonstration, two facts stand forth: First, being tied to a home is vastly more profitable than being foot-free and homeless; and, second, the home-owner need never be tied to his home in an undesirable way. Few men ever accumulate enough to carry them through life without first being caught and tied up. Every well established business is a financial hitching post. The business of the life insurance agent is to catch and tie those who will not otherwise accumulate. Buying a home while living in it is one of the surest ways on earth to persuade a man to accumulate property. IS THE BEST WAR MEMORIAL Town Hall or Library Serves Purpose Well and May Replace Monuments of the Past. The question of war memorials, of fitting tributes to those who have met death through military service or whose deeds have been marked by signal acts of bravery, has been for a long time discussed in the foreign architectural press. A plan proposed, and one that has met with general approval, has been the building in each town of a permanent memorial to mark appreciation of the heroic men who have gone forth in this war. This plan will undoubtedly be found to be as admirable in this country as it is in Europe. No one, says the American Architect, will criticize the patriotic impulse that prompted a grateful people to set up in our cities and towns the many soldiers' monuments that so often disfigure public squares and commons and which as often cause a feeling of deep regret to every artistic observer. Now will be found an opportunity to take steps to avert in the future a very serious artistic blunder, and no class of men can exert a greater influence in these matters than architects. As the town center is the logical place for these memorials, it is equally logical to assume that when properly conceived they would exert a very decided influence on the future development of the neighborhood. We need in this country a better development of community life, a more intimate intermingling of the people, and there is no greater or better method than the facilities offered by the town or village hall. A well-designed village hall or library will admirably serve the purposes of a memorial and provide for all the people a constant reminder of the purposes of its erection. Food Handlers Examined. To deal with the "carrier" problem and many others along this same line, the New York city department of health has passed an ordinance that demands a certificate of health from every person who in any manner handles public food. The manufacturers and employees are enjoined from hiring any person who has not such certificate, and they are made responsible for his compliance with the law. They are examined free of charge, and the public institutions have been very generous in supplying them with free treatment, when they are found not up to requirement. These regulations include cooks, bakers, butchers, dairy employees, candy makers, waiters, dishwashers, delicatessen workers, food peddlers, etc. Model Homes for Working Classes. What is designated as "Model Labor Colony" is being started on Staten Island by a company in connection with the new $2,500,000 garbage disposal plant that is being placed in operation. The colony is designed to house the working classes of this plant and other large industrial establishments in the vicinity. There will be a number of cottages of five rooms each, equipped with running water, electric light, bath and toilet facilities, steam heat, etc. There will also be a large dormitory to accommodate single men and a restaurant for feeding the entire community. An Emergency Call By Matilda Emerson (Copyright, 1917, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Madge had been at Mercy hospital nearly a month as a probation nurse. It was her first week on duty in the emergency room, helping Miss Paterson write the entry record of each patient as the ambulances brought them in. "I don't see how you can be so—" she hesitated for a word that would not hurt the feelings of the other nurse—"so used to it all. Seems to me each case is worse than the last one." "Oh, nearly all of you girls play tunes on your heart strings when you first land here. It just has to be, and you can't help it. Try to look at it in that way. You can't afford to be sorry for them all. It uses up your nerve force." But she did not get used to it. Not then, nor during the whole six months of her probation. Miss Paterson had taken a fancy to her from the very beginning. She was willing and well educated and all of the doctors liked her. The last two weeks of her probation period she was placed at the emergency desk at night, and it was here she met Mrs. Crosby Latimer. It was a wild, spring night in early May. There had been a heavy rainstorm, followed by a high wind, blowing in from the sea to the east. Madge had just stepped across the room to close the window as a sudden gust of wind blew a lot of her papers on the floor, when the door was pushed open by a woman. Madge saw at a glance that she was not the sort who sought the shelter of Mercy hospital. While she wore no hat, her long broadcloth cloak was unmistakably correct in its lines, and costly in quality. Her heavy, dark hair was streaked with gray and the wind had loosened it so that it was A "Will You Tell Me Who I Am?" naft tumbling to her shoulders. The pallor of her face was like the hue of a jasmine flower; even her dry lips seemed bloodless as she moistened them nervously, leaning heavily on the little shelf in front of the brass grating at the entry clerk's window. A wave of compassion swept over Madge, as she saw the look of utterly dazed helplessness in her wide, dark eyes. "I beg your pardon." she said, slowly, "but could you tell me who I am? Please, please tell me who I am. I've walked so far and I couldn't find any one I dared to ask. I saw the light from your window. Will you tell me who I am?" She suddenly burst into a fit of nervous weeping, and bowed her face in her hands. The door leading upstairs swung open, and little Blair, one of the internes, came in, humming. "I say, Miss Laurence," he began, but Madge motioned him to be quiet. "Mr. Blair," she cried, pleasantly, "do you think you could take my place for just a few moments? I want to take this lady into the reception room." Blair gave the stranger "the once over" as he would have expressed it, and murmured, as he took Madge's seat: "Better land her in the 'din'!" "Better land her in the 'dip.'" But Madge shook her head. This was no case for the dipsoniania ward, and she knew it. As they stepped into the big white marble hall together the woman put out her hand like a child for Madge to lead her, and she took her upstairs. When she came back, Blair noticed that she seemed excited, but not one thing would she tell him, except that she had placed the woman in care of Miss Gage, and it seemed only a simple case of aphasia. She told him she would report it as soon as Doctor Alkin came in at six o'clock. He was the house doctor on nervous diseases. Just as soon as she was alone she lifted the receiver from the phone. Utilizing Forests to Double Their Value by Robert H. Moulton COLLECTING OLEORESIN BY THE OLD METHOD OF "BOXING" Forest Products Laboratory hopes to bring about COLLECTING OLEORESIN BY THE OLD METHOD OF "BOXING" of a little-known branch of government, the forest products laboratory, situated at Madison, Wis., Mr. Hallauner and his associates hope to teach this country how to save two billions of dollars annually. He is confident that it can be done; that is, that the annual cut of wood, now valued at two billions, can be made into articles of use which at present prices would bring double that amount. It is a man-size job, but the confident engineer points proudly to unbelievably vast economies already effected in the wood trades through the work of the forest products laboratory's chemists. They are in such terms that it would be hard to tabulate the exact savings, but there is little doubt that they run over $100,000,000 a year. Few persons outside the wood trades know of the laboratory, the first of its kind ever to be established, but which has been imitated in a number of countries since it began operation. Its annual appropriation is small for the work it does; something less than $200,000. He is confident that it can be done; that is, that the annual cut of wood, now valued at two billions, can be made into articles of use which at present prices would bring double that amount. Germany has been driven to extreme use of her forests by necessity, but no country with the exception of Germany has made such a systematic effort at developing forest products as the United States. Charcoal for the manufacture of black gunpowders is being obtained from dogwood, willow and alder. Great quantities of alcohol and ether are made from imported molasses, but if we were cut off from this raw material we could depend upon the forests. Alcohol could also be made from grain, but in war times grain would be required for food. It is estimated that during the present year 40,000,000 gallons of denatured alcohol will be used at home, while huge quantities are being exported.

The use of wood for gunstocks is, generally familiar. Our supply of seasoned black walnut, the most suitable wood for the purpose, has been entirely exhausted by the heavy demands of Europe. Heretofore the practice has been to let gunstock material air season for months before it would be worked up. Time became so important that artificial seasoning was resorted to, but improper methods destroyed too much of the material. The forest products laboratory has now perfected dry kilns which overcome the trouble, and as a further aid is perfecting methods of using other woods, notably birch, for gun stock. Then there is the near relative of the gun stock, the wooden leg, making heavy demands for willow. Millions of feet of lumber and heavy timbers are required in war times for structural purposes, such as the erection of docks, bridges, trenches and temporary shelters. Disinfectants are now a necessity. They can be made from wood. Pure wood alcohol is the only substance that can be converted into formaldehyde, universally used for disinfection The forest products laboratory has now perfected dry kilns which overcome the trouble, and as a further aid is perfecting methods of using other woods, notably birch, for gun stock.

Pure wood alcohol is the only substance that can be converted into formaldehyde, universally used for disinfection against such contagious diseases as smallpox, scarlet fever, diptheria and tuberculosis. It is also used to prevent crop diseases by disinfecting the seeds. But the importance of forest products for war supplies in no way compares with their importance for industries. The largest of these are the lumber, pulp, and paper, naval stores and distillation industries. They employ more than Latimer? This is Mercy hospital. No, I'm only the night nurse in the emergency room. Mr. Latimer, your mother has just wandered in here. She had lost her way, and her memory. No, she is not hurt. I found your name in her handbag on a letter. You will come at once? Yes, I think that is best. What? Oh, I have the letter; there will be no publicity." About twenty minutes later a limousine passed under the red brick arch and Stanley Latimer jumped out. He did not mince words at all; but Madge caught the relief in his eyes and voice when he saw her. "I am sure, Miss Laurence," he said as they went upstairs together, "that I need not tell you how grateful I am to you for sensing the whole emergency in this case. My mother has not been herself for several days. I have been out of the city on duty with the National Guard, and she made some very ill-advised investments without my consent. I blame her broker far more than I do her, but between them they lost thousands of dollars, and I'm afraid I might have been rather harsh with her when I found it out." Madge looked at him gravely. "Perhaps you did not realize that she was in a very low state of health. We have only made a slight examination. There seems to be some organic heart trouble. Don't you think there are some things more important than the mere loss of thousands of dollars, Mr. Latimer?" Perhaps this was why, when he took his mother away that night, Latimer carried with him a vivid memory. No woman had ever said anything to him like that before. The following day the superintendent called her to his office. "We're very sorry to lose you, Miss Laurence," he said, "but it appears there was an emergency case last night which was not entered properly or reported to Doctor Alkin. In fact you took it upon yourself both to admit the patient and to discharge her. You will leave the staff at the expiration of your probation period." She went back to her desk, somewhat dazed, but still she felt that she had done exactly the right thing. The telephone rang about five that afternoon. It was Mrs. Latimer's voice—eager and pitifully anxious. It sounded—begging her to come at once and act as special companion at any price she might see fit to ask. She was leaving with her son for an extended trip by automobile through the mountains, and he joined her in the hope that Miss Laurence might be able to join them. It was several weeks later at a little mountain inn in the Adirondacks, Madge had just returned from her daily hike, and Stanley joined her as she stood on the wide veranda overlooking the sweep of forest. She did not meet his eyes. Somehow she felt as though she could not trust herself while she told him the determination she had come to that afternoon. She wanted to give up the case, she said, and go back to hospital duty. She loved Mrs. Latimer, but she felt she must go. "But why?" he insisted. "Oh, you needn't answer. Do you consider my making love to you an insult? Why not let me go away instead, if it is that? Haven't I asked you to marry me, and you've had the pleasure of refusing me several times?" Tears filled her eyes in sudden anger. "Oh, I think you're horrid. Do you think I care anything about your mon- ey? You treat me exactly as though as though you were sure I couldn't help but say yes, because you are such a prize in the matrimonial market." He laughed. "Dear, you're all wrong. I find that mother's little coup in Wall street cleaned us out, instead of just sinking a few thousand. I'm going back to work on a salary in my uncle's office. Doesn't you want to try to teach me how to live on it properly? Make me your last emergency case." Madge did not even answer as she smiled up at him. Somehow she felt glad that her days of probation were really ended. Over the Fence. I have noticed that any fence gives a feeling of protection to the speaker who talks over it, prompting him to frankness which he would not venture without that slight barrier, much as a child outside the lion's cage addressed it with bravado. Especially is this true in respect to the close back fence over which only the elevated passer-by can spy the worker in the garden. With horseback riders, truckwomen, expressmen, farmers on hayracks, and bespurred linemen—those the Welsh call "folks,"—I am on terms of familiarity which is never abused when we meet in other localities. A fat vegetable woman stopped her horse and wagon one day to look over the fence. Me she acknowledged with a smile and a murmur about the pretty garden. Then, lifting her voice, "I have great respect for you, great respect!" Eager to rise to the situation I begged her to come in sometime and see the garden. "I will do that."—Lucy E. Keeler, in the Atlantic. How to Save the Mothers According to a circular issued by the children's bureau of the United States department of labor there are annually about 15,000 deaths from maternal causes in the United States, and available statistics show no decrease in maternal mortality since 1900. The Medical Record comments that "these 15,000 deaths are but a rough indication of preventable illness and suffering among mothers." And it calls attention to Dr. Grace L. Melgs' suggestion that centers of maternal and infant welfare be started in every county THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1917. Forest Products Laboratory hopes to bring about a saving of two billion dollars a year—it's a rather neat saving! S AID the Chicago pork packer: "We make our money by saving everything but the squeal." Says Frank J. Hallauer: "The wood industries are going to go the pork packers one better; they are going to save everything, including the bark." And it is to teach the wood industry how to do this that Mr. Hallauer has been working for six years. Engineer It is a man-size job, but the confident engineer points proudly to unbelievably vast economies already effected in the wood trades through the work of the forest products laboratory's chemists. They are in such terms that it would be hard to tabulate the exact savings, but there is little doubt that they run over $100,000,000 a year. Few persons outside the wood trades know of the laboratory, the first of its kind ever to be established, but which has been imitated in a number of countries since it began operation. Its annual appropriation is small for the work it does; something less than $200,000. The laboratory is now looked upon to save the paper situation of the country, and it cheerfully tackles the job. Only recently announcement was made in Washington that the laboratory had discovered that good grades of paper can be made from a number of far Western woods and that Wisconsin paper mills were already ordering trainloads of wood chips from the West for paper pulp. The cost of freight to Wisconsin is more than offset by the cheapness of the chips, and the paper thus made is expected to prove a considerable factor in relieving the paper famine. A visitor who leaves Mr. Hallauer can scarcely believe that there is anything which cannot be made from wood. "How about the cabled story that the Germans have discovered a food they can make from wood which they are feeding to Russian prisoners?" was the first question asked. "Almost surely not true," he said. "The human stomach cannot stand it. It is possible to convert sawdust into cattle food, and that was probably the foundation for the story." But Germany from her forests is obtaining such great results that if, as an English writer recently suggested impractically, England were to destroy Germany's forests, the war would surely end very soon. Artificial cotton is one of the things which are being supplied from wood. Paper shirts are also being used, but then-Japan is supplying these to the Russian soldiers. THE TREE IS NOT THE MAN IMPROVED METHOD OF COLLECTING OLEORESIN 1,000,000 farmers. Their products are valued at $2,000,000,000 annually. The most promising and novel developments in the line of by-products from wood are in the nature of chemical utilization. It might be said that the chemists of the forest products laboratory have put the prod to forest products. The lumber industry draws upon the forests for many times as much material as do all the other industries, and only about one-third of the tree cut for lumber is actually put on the market in that shape. Right here is more than enough waste, although not often in the right form or readily available, to supply raw material for all the other industries. The problem now becomes one of adopting means of utilization to suit the conditions. Years ago wood ashes were leached for home soap-making, to furnish potash. The practice disappeared. It is now being revived as a source of potash to offset the shortage of fertilizer due to the war.

In the Red River valley of Texas the Indians used to use Osage orange for dyeing, but that wood never gained commercial recognition as a dyewood. Within the last year, however, we have succeeded in getting it into the market as a substitute for fusible, which we import from Jamaica and Tehuantepec, and more than $1,000,000 worth of these dyes is now being made by American manufacturers. The forest products laboratory has just completed an analysis of the oils which can be obtained from the needles or leaves of all the coniferous trees of the country. From a number of species the oils obtained have very attractive odors; other oils can be used in greases and shoe blackings. In Europe the finer needle oils are used as perfumes in soaps; others are used for inhalations for lung diseases. It has been working on the production of alcohol, from wood for five years.

One of the most interesting examples of how specialized spy work is shown by the way Germany has her secret service organized in the conquered portions of Belgium and northern France. German officers have found by experience that the men and women who are left do little talking outside of selected groups where they know everyone can be trusted. But, often, the invaders learned, these citizens forgot themselves when they are talking before their children. So Germany sent experienced schoolteachers, men and women who understood child psychology and who could speak French, to the occupied cities and towns to open French schools. When it is possible the teachers win the good will of the children, and through the innocent boys and girls learn what the parents are thinking and talking about. —Carl W.

WOOD DISTILLATION LABORATORY lowering the cost of production and raised the yield to such a point that the introduction of this alcohol as a motor fuel seems likely, particularly with gasoline going up as it has been. As Mark Twain said, "What chance has prohibition when a man can take a ripsaw and get drunk on a fence rail or drink the legs off the kitchen table?" Western larch has an unusually high percentage of galactan, which it is believed can be converted into a fermentable sugar for use in making grain alcohol. This same galactan in oxidation yields large quantities of muric acid, and muric acid can take the place of tartaric acid in the manufacture of baking powder. A number of lumbermen recently visited the laboratory and one of the chemists made baking powder from wood, and his wife made biscuit with it. Another advance is the preparation of a fine, sweet sirup from galactose, a sugar derived from galactan. So if the people of Montana, the home of the Western larch, get hard pressed they can make their flapjacks with larch baking powder, bake them over a stove heated with larch alcohol and sweeten them with larch sirup. lowering the cost of production and raised the yield to such a point that the introduction of this alcohol as a motor fuel seems likely, particularly with gasoline going up as it has been.

Converting cellulose obtained from wood into a gelatinous material known as a viscose opens up another field for research and adds a new line of products running all the way from sausage casings to tapestry. Five million dollars worth of silk socks sold last year got their silk from wood, as did many silk neckties and fancy braids. Probably it won't be long before the whims of the silk-worm will have little control over silk market conditions. Kraft paper is made from sulphate pulp, and the method of making it came to this country from Sweden ten years ago. Kraft is much stronger than other papers. It is brown, like what we usually think of as wrapping paper. Large quantities of it are used for that purpose and it is particularly suitable for large envelopes. Kraft is used for book covers, for imitation leather and for cardboard suitcases. An attempt is being made to produce a paper twine that will replace the binder twines now made from imported fibers. This question has become more active because of the recent shortage of these other fibers on account of the conditions south of us. A successful paper substitute would provide for the utilization of a large amount of wood waste and at the same time build up a home industry independent of foreign raw materials. The problems put up to the laboratory to solve are many and complex. One man in the frog business was suffering heavy losses from the death of his tadpoles. He asked the laboratory to find out if there was anything in the wood which when washed out polished the tadpoles. The government chemists undertook to study the matter. They could not locate the trouble, so it was put up to the section of timber tests. After a few experiments it was found that the resonant croaking of the large frogs produced vibrations in the boards of the tanks. The vibrations were transmitted through the water to the ganglin of the tadpoles (they have no brains), causing a disease somewhat akin to infantile paralysis. The remedy was simple. The man was advised to separate his tadpoles from his large frogs, thus confining the vibrations to the older generations. This was done and the mortality among the tadpoles decreased wonderfully. AIRPLANE COMPASSES Of the thousands of inventions relating to the war which have been filed in the patent offices of the United States and the countries of the entente allies in the last three years many have been for compasses for airplanes. The points aimed at particularly have been the elimination of errors that result from tilting and banking. The problems are complex and have been studied for years, as the troubles worried users of compasses long before airplanes came into the world.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 14. RETURNING FROM CAPTIVITY. LESSON TEXT: Form 1 GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.—Psalms 126:3. Israel went into captivity because of her sins. The time of her disciplinary process was about to end, as its purpose was now accomplished: namely, the cure of Israel's idolatry. Ever since the Babylonian captivity the Hebrew people have been worshipers of the one God. Monotheism has stood forth as a vital characteristic. The main reason for the Jews' maintenance of racial identity in spite of their national dislocation and the breaking up of their social ties, is the unity of their faith, around the one God. 1. The Proclamation of Cyrus (vv. 1-4). (1) The Time of (v. 1). The first year of Cyrus; that is the first year after his conquest of Babylon. (2) How It Was Brought About (v. 1). The Lord stirred up his spirit. The Lord often uses very unlikely agents in the accomplishment of his purposes. There is nothing too hard for him. He can readily use a heathen king to accomplish his purpose. He can find a way of approach to any heart. Likely Daniel was the agent used to bring the matter to the king's attention. Daniel was still the influential prime minister of Babylon. From his study of the prophecies of Jeremiah (Jer. 25:12; Isa. 45:1; compare Daniel 9:2), he knew that the time was near for the return of the people to their own land, so he likely brought the matter to the attention of the king and persuaded him to thus favor his people. (3) Its Contents (vv. 2-4). (a) A confession of the true God (vv. 2-3) He acknowledges him to be the God of heaven, the Most High, the Supreme God, a God of goodness. He declared, "He has given me all the kingdoms of the earth," and that God had with authority laid upon him the charge of building him a house at Jerusalem. (b) A Generous Permission to Israel (v. 3). All who desired to go up to Jerusalem and build the Lord's house were permitted to go. He even commanded the blessing of the Lord to be upon them. (c) A Positive Co-Operation (v. 4). None were obliged to go up, but a positive obligation was laid upon those who did not go up to render assistance to those who did. They were to aid in the building of the house of God by giving money, beasts and goods. It was more than a free-will offering, an obligation in addition thereto. The obligation was even wider than the people of Israel. The heather were asked to render aid. II. Response to the Proclamation of Cyrus (vv. 5, 6). (1) By Israel (v. 5). Strange to say the decree of Cyrus was not met with great enthusiasm. Only a small number, chiefly from Judah and Benjamin, returned (v. 5). For most of them it meant giving up business interests, for they had settled down to the regular callings of life. Besides the sacrifice of business interests it involved great risks as to the future. The entire company, including servants, was about fifty thousand (2:64). Of this company we note the following divisions; first, chiefs of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, that is magistrates; second, priests, and Levites, leaders in religion; third, skillful artificers, head workmen. (2). By Their Neighbors (v. 6). This response was apparently more hearty than that of the Jews themselves. Their neighbors gave freely of gold, silver, beasts and goods. God had not only graciously disposed the heart of Cyrus toward his people, but then found peculiar favor from their neighbors, so that their wants were abundantly supplied. III. Restoration of the Sacred Vessels (vv. 7-11). These vessels had been carried away to Babylon many years before. Little did Nebuchadnezzar realize that he would put into safe keeping the vessels which would be needed at this time. They were carefully numbered and turned over to the proper officers. Except for their desecration in Belshazzar's feast, they were none the worst for having been carried away. These were brought up to Jerusalem from Babylon. Poverty. Poverty is only contemptible when it is felt to be so. Doubtless the best way to make our poverty respectable is to seem never to feel it as an evil.—Bovee. Love's Secret. Love's secret is to be always doing things for God, and not to mind because they are such very little ones.—Frederick W. Faber.

(Not a Moving Picture) THE WORKING AREA The above is a view of the first unit of the Lincoln High School Mechanical Building, in course of construction by the Lincoln High School boys, under the direction of their instructors. All of the work of laying the bricks and of making the cement floors in this building was done by the class in brick masonry; and every part of the woodwork, including window frames, roof framework, floors, etc., was done by the boys who are taking the course in carpentry This first unit having been completed, they have begun the erection of a second unit. The monthly musicale concert of the Lincoln High School Community Organization was held in the auditorium of the High School at 3:30 p. m. last Sunday. The auditorium was crowded to its capacity and one of the most pretentious and high class programs ever offered by Prof. Smith was faultlessly rendered. Encore after encore greeted the singing of the matchless quartet, composed of Mrs. Effie Grant Hardy, Miss Anna Smith, Prof. Reynolds and Major Smith. Every number was a masterpiece, and the vast audience was more than pleased with the splendid offering presented them. SELECT TRAINING CAMPS FOR DRAFTED, NEGROES.
