The magnificent parade last Tuesday morning of the Colored citizens of this city was the finale of a series of receptions and entertainments given to the drafted men and officers who were assigned to Camp Funston for military training. The first reception was tendered them at the Paseo Y. M. C. A., Friday night, October 26. The large gymnasium was profusely and beautifully decorated with American flags and bunting and every one of the 650 chairs placed was taken and excellent music was rendered by the Second Regiment Band, K. of P. On Saturday afternoon a special reception was tendered to the officers and throughout the week various stags and house parties were given for individual officers. On Sunday night many of the officers and drafted men heard the gripping, thrill- DR. WM. J. THOMPKINS, Whose skillful management and untiring energy made possible the collection from Negroes of $120,000 for the Liberty Bond campaign. ing lecture of Dr. Burris A. Jenkins "On the War." On Tuesday morning at 7:30 a parade, estimated to contain 2,000 men and women of the race, left the Paseo Y. M. C. A., headed by the Second Regiment band and the Citizens' Committee, and marched a mile to the Union Station, where a thousand or more members of the race awaited their coming. And one of the most enthusiastic demonstrations ever witnessed in the Union Station took place. At 11:45 a special train on which the boys were to go to Funston pulled out amid the cheers of thousands and the waving of flags with our gallant boys, who are destined, if given the opportunity, to be the FIRST to go over the top. The Citizens' Committee, which made this demonstration possible, through the untiring efforts of Dr. Edward B. Ramsey, were: Dr. E. B. Ramsey, T. B. Watkins, F. W. Dabney, N. C. Crews, H. B.

PITTSBURGH AUDIENCES ADMIRE RACE FILMS. Special to The Kansas City Sun Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 23.—For the first time in the history of the local picture industry three leading competing theatres—the Star, Crescent and Eagle theatres of this city all catering to Colored patronage, are booking and playing the offerings of one firm in first, second and third runs to capacity houses. This is the first opportunity the race patrons of these theaters have had the opportunity to witness the classy productions of the Lincoln Motion Picture Co., Inc., of Los Angeles, the largest and only successful race Producing Film Co. in the world and they are showing their appreciation to the management by making the S. R. O. sign necessary. The Kansas City Sun NEGROES SUBSCRIBE $120,000. The Negro committee reported that $120,000 had been subscribed by Negroes. This does not indicate the bonds that have been bought by employees of various industrial enterprises and railroads. William T. Kemper said that he was surprised to see so good a showing, and that he did not expect the Negroes to subscribe more than $100,000, because their committee was not appointed until a few days before the close of the campaign. They did not have the complete organization and facilities for reaching their people and urging the buying of bonds. It is especially creditable to the Negroes of the community that they succeeded in reaching their quota of $100,000, a sum which the leaders of the movement among the people of their race had voluntarily established as their goal. The sum is small in comparison with the huge aggregates rolled up by other subdivisions of the population, but a great many considerations entered into the Negro campaign which were absent from that carried on by other "classes," interests, etc. That $100,000 should be raised exclusively among the Negroes of the community is an admirable tribute to their patriotism and no small testimony to the spirit of self-sacrifice which animated them. From every point of view, therefore, Kansas City lived up to the best traditions of the "Kansas City spirit," and all concerned in rolling up this victory may have an abundant share in the common credit.—Kansas City Journal. "THE BIRTH OF ALL NATIONS WAS THE BLACK MAN" BLACK MAN'S PART IN THE BIBLE" Will be shown from a Picture Machie by Elder James M. Webb, of Chicago, Ill., as follows: Moses was found and named by a black woman, and named by a black woman. Moses was educated in a black school. Moses also married a black woman. Solomon declared he was a black man. Solomon employed black men to work on the Temple. Jesus was rescued and rocked in the black man's cradle in Africa. God ordered it to be done. Jesus was a black man by blood. And when He comes to judge the world, His hair will be wooly, and not straight. AT JAMISON TEMPLE C. M. E. CHURCH, MONDAY, NOV. 5TH, AND BETHEL A. M. E.

ATTUCKS SCHOOL In the recent bond campaign that closed so successfully Saturday night, Attucks school took advantage of the opportunity to teach the pupils to be charitable as well as patriotic. There were $1,650 worth of bonds handled through the school. Five bonds were purchased for the school by pupils and teachers. The third and fourth grades, taught by Mr. Watson and Mrs. McClellan, purchased one bond. The fourth and fifth grades, taught by Miss Olden and Miss Moore, bought one. The sixth grade, taught by Miss Whiteside, bought one, and the seventh grade, taught by Miss Walton, bought two. These bonds are the property of the school and will be handled by a board composed of Principal Harrison and his faculty. The different institutions of this community will evidently be the recipients of these bonds or what interest might accrue from them. Such as the children who need greatly need clothing, shoes and so forth, the Orphans' Home, hospitals, and any other institutions that the board feels should be supported in this way. Each teacher and the custodian, Mr. Collins, is the proud possessor of at least one bond, some two. Attucks is progressing nicely and growing so rapidly two rooms have just been opened in the M. E. church across Woodland avenue from the main building. They are splendidly equipped, heated, lighted and ventilated. Two new teachers will be added to the present corps, which is as follows: Harriett S. Walton, Allice Whiteside, Maude Olden, Eva L. Moore, D. G. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1917.

Lott THE REGIMENT OF NEGRO INFANTRY NOW AT CAMP FUNSTON. Brigadier General Ballou to Command the Division. Camp Funston, Oct. 31. — Colonel Bigelow made the following address to the men in the Y. M. C. A. Building at Camp Funston: After serving for twenty-five years in the Army of the United States, I will at last have the privilege of serving in a capacity I have long wanted to be in during all this time. It is with pleasure that I stand before you Negro men as the Colonel of what will be the best regiment in this camp. There are many things that will cause you to become discouraged at times, but these are the things that only serve to make you real fighters for your country and race. I have served with your race, and I tell you that out of all my experience with these men, not from theory, you are real soldiers by nature; your steps as soldiers is a natural one—full and fast. Before I tell you what GIVEN BY ARMY OFFICERS TO THE PRESENTED. a regiment of the Army is composed of I wish first to tell you that as Colonel of this regiment of Negro men, and the one that will see that you are trained to highest degree of the profession you are into, the Army being the oldest known organized institution, so you can see being a solider is a profession, not a mere fighter. I say to you men today, don't fail to show the other men that you are real men, and I your Colonel will see that you get a square deal at all times. As to the matter of saluting, or military courtesy as it is better known, is only a form of greeting men that are in the same profession you are in and your officers you owe to them that greeting because the insignia of an officer means hard work, and they are responsponsible for your life, if it is in battle or peace. I ask you men that you show the other men in this camp that you respect the men that are to lead you in these times; show them you are in the game to be the best. There is one thing more I want to ask of you and have you get into your minds, this is no plaything; it is a business of killing; if you don't kill you will be killed; so determine today that you are going to learn to do it better than the German soldier. They are fighting in every way one can imagine these days, with guns, knives, bayonet, poison gas and, best of all, with the fist. Your regiment will be composed of 3,755 men, divided into 15 organizations. The regiments of the past only required 1,200 men in 12 company organizations. Men will go to France, yes, many of them; and, too, you men will, and maybe sooner than any other men in this camp. Let me say to you, going to France will do this one thing for your race, it will break down race prejudice that now exists, no The Sun Goes to 36 States and Canada. Are Your Relatives and Friends Getting It? on your account. To be a good soldier means to be clean. You have not yet received your uniforms, but I am very glad of that; we can get in the dirt and mud, and if you get soiled it will not be any great harm done; then after you are through your cluosed order drilling and the uniform is given to you I want you to be the cleanest regiment in the camp. When you come out for review they will say you are the best looking soldier after all. There is one thing more that I wish to say before I close. I, your Colonel, know there is not a man before me that will ever turn his back to the enemy; if there is one, I want those of you that do not turn your backs to kill me first, so that I will not have to report to your country and race such an act. Listen, we are going to Paris, to MISS LILLIAN TOOLEY, who gave a copy of her latest song, "While We Go Marching From America," to each of the drafted men last Tuesday. London to Berlin, and after accomplishing our mission there we with our band will march down the streets playing the National music of our country. Then we will return to our mothers and families and give a good account of ourselves while away from home. You men can then with pride sit by your firesides and tell your children how you helped win the great war for Liberty and equal rights as men in this the greatest conflict ever known between men. Y.

THE PASSING OF A GOOD MAN, A TRUE MASON AND A PIONEER OF PIKE COUNTY. Frankfort, Mo. Thomas Williams was born in Hines county, Miss., December 15, 1841. Died near Frankford, Pike county, Mo., October 24, 1917, at the age of 75 years, 11 months and 9 days. He was married to Mary T. Keithley March 9, 1861, at Frankford, Pike county, Mo. His beloved wife died January 13, 1917, thus preceding him to the grave by nine months and eleven days from which death he never fully recovered and gradually grew weaker from grief of the death of his beloved wife who had been his companion for more than 56 years until about a week before his death when he was confined to his bed and passed away peacefully at 3:15 o'clock Wednesday, October 24. His ever thought was of her and his grief was ever apparent. He was a charter member of Guiding Star Lodge No. 130, Frankford, Mo., which was organized by his son, C. G. Williams, 1890. He was the original treasurer of this lodge of Masons from its organization until June, 1917, at which time he declined to serve further on account of his declining health. He was associated with Revs. Martin, Bryant, and others in the organization of Roger chapel, the first Methodist church ever organized in this community. He was instrumental in the erection of the present church and was a member of the Trustee Board many years. While not a member of the church he devoted his time and energy to the upbuilding of Christianity and believing that much more good could be done by not affiliating with any particular denomination he lent his ever effort to all religious and charitable organizations. He had the distinction of having qualified and signed the bond of every appointed Post Master for Frankford regardless of politics for fifty-two years. His whole life was devoted to charity and his beloved wife who preceded him these few short months, associated with him in doing much charitable work in this community. He leaves to mourn his loss one son, C. G. Williams; one sister, Frances Howard; one granddaughter, Estelle Williams Bruce; daughter-in-law, Josie E. Williams and grandson-in-law, B. K. Bruce; two nephews, Walter Sutton and Grant Peak, together with a host of friends. He was an honorary member of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M., being the only member of the Masonic fraternity bearing this distinction. Beginning with 1865 with nothing he was listed as one of the largest taxpayers of Pike county. Regardless of the advice of friends he continued to farm until he was stricken with paralysis October 16, 1917, and was constantly on his farm conducting his affairs in person. When stricken he had just made a general survey of his farm on his favorite horse and had just arrived at his home and was con- versing with Mr. Square Blackwell. His favorite horse was still standing within ten feet of him at the time. KELLEY'S BEST HIGH PATENT FLOUR Kelley's Best Beat all the Rest. Kelley Milling Co. K.C.U.S.A. His loss in this community will ever be remembered. A constant faithful member of his fraternity, a devoted husband, father and brother, his place can never be filled. Our tears are merely the outward signs of the grief which fills our hearts. Gone to heaven where today he rests with the angels and his departed wife and they are reunited in the city of eternal light from which none ever care to return.

Grand Master Fields was unable to remain for the funeral and the Masonic services were very impressively conducted by Deputy Grand Master Crittenden C. Clark. The sermon was preached by Rev. Link Lovell. A glowing tribute was paid the deceased by Mr. C. P. Covington of Louisiana. Many telegrams and letters of condolence were received by the family. Those from out of town who attended the funeral were W. W. Fields, G. M.; C. C. Clark, D. G. M., St. Louis; Tom Bass, Mexico; Mrs. H. H. Walker, St. Joseph; Mrs. C. G.

Ursula had watched the principal guest of the evening with interest. It was the new instructor of psychology, Jorrold Greig, who was being considered for the vacancy in Professor Judson's department at Brompton college. He had come from one of the larger Eastern colleges and brought with him, and very obviously showed in his manner and bearing, more of urbanity than was possessed by most members of the Brompton college faculty. At the head of the table sat Professor Judson, and at the other end Mrs. Judson presiding over the teacups, for Brompton families still drank tea with their evening meal, and had the tea service spread before the mistress of the house in as stately array as the meat platter and carving things were spread at the other end of the table before the host. The rule of etiquette that directs the hostess to seat her man guest of honor at her right and the woman guest of honor at the host's right apparently did not trouble the Judson's, for Mr. Jorrold Greig sat where it was most convenient for the professor to talk with him at his own right, and Mr. Greig's elder sister—for this sister, who, in the event that Mr. Greig received the appointment, would be the head of his household, had come with him—sat at Mrs. Judson's left. Grandfather and grandmother Judson had their usual places on the other side of the table, and Rodney Judson, Professor Judson's eldest son, who had but recently graduated from Brompton, sat between the young aspirant and his sister. So there were a good many dishes for one small pair of hands to wash unmailed and a good many pots and pans had had to be used in preparation for the meal, and in Mrs. Judson's household no pots and pans, however stubbornly they had resisted the first ablutions, were ever left "to soak" till the next day. So Ursula was still at her work when the clock on the kitchen shelf pointed to nine o'clock. She heard a creaking sound toward the back stairs and wished that the light of the solitary oil lamp shed a more far-reaching glow. Then a door distinctly opened. Yes, it was the back stairs door, and a man's figure that was neither that of Professor Judson nor his son came out of the shadow. It was the young Eastern professor, and he stepped toward Ursula with a degree of embarrassment that was not in very good keeping with the appearance of perfect self-possession and poise that he had shown at dinner. "I just thought maybe you would give me a glass of water," he began, as Ursula leveled her eyes at him in unfeigned surprise. "Mrs. Judson, I guess, forgot to put any in my room, and I didn't want to bother any of the people upstairs," he fabricated, and then more truthfully: "These country college folks certainly go to bed with the chickens." "They usually drink the spigot water," Ursula commented with a voice that marked no inflection. Even from the shadow in which Mr. Greig was standing she could see that he was watching her with an interest that was not entirely necessary. She moved toward the tray, where stood a neat array of perfectly shining glasses, and took one. "Too bad to have to use a clean one," objected the professor. "I remember when we were youngsters the cook at home used to make us drink out of a tin cup—hated to have to polish extra tumblers, you know." Ursula made no comment, filled a glass and handed it to the intruder. "But, then, that cook was very cross," said the man, trying to make his voice sound perfectly self-possessed, but not succeeding, "and this cook isn't cross, is she?" Still Ursula made no comment. Jerrold Greig drank the water, for which he had no thirst, and then watched Ursula intently as she continued her task at the sink. "Iused to help the cook of ours dry dishes," he prevaricated, "and I don't see why I shouldn't help you. Every one has gone to bed and I am supposed to be in my room—no one will know." He had taken a towel from the rack and had begun to dry one of the pans that Ursula had just washed. "Do you know," he ventured, encouraged because Ursula had not repulsed his effort at helpfulness, "do you know, you are the most extraordinarily pretty girl I've seen in a long time. I noticed you the first thing we went into the dining room—couldn't keep my eyes off from you, and I fancy I made a jumble of what I said to the professor just because I was so intent on watching you." "You seemed perfectly self-possessed," commented the girl, without a smile. "I should judge that you are one of the sort that usually does keep a deal of self possession." A pause followed, and then Greig, seizing another pan from the draining rack, got back to his first track. "You are really too pretty. A girl as pretty as you are has no place in a kitchen. In the place I come from she wouldn't stay in a hole like this for a minute. Hands like yours weren't made for this sort of thing." Then, as the next pan was transferred from the soapy dish water to the draining rack, he tried to seize the slim white hand that held it, but, thanks to the soap and water, it slid easily from his grasp back into the suds. Then there was a silence broken only by the splashing of the water in Ursula's dishpan; and Ursula's deep blue eyes, as she washed pots and pans with her unwelcome assistant at her side, penetrated deep through the dish water into the region of brown study beyond. "A penny for your thoughts" was the way the young professor broke the silence. "I was wondering whether you knew anything about the girls in the college out here. You know it is a co-educational place." "I'm not especially anxious to meet them," sighed Greig. "A man doesn't care much for that sort of girl—brains don't county for much in women—not half so much as a pretty face like yours." He was looking intently at Ursula who for one fleeting second was tempted to rub the self-satisfied smile from his face with one swoop of her sony dish cloth. Instead, she looked at the kitchen clock. The hands pointed to a quarter after nine. She knew Rodney would be back from his call on the college president in a few minutes, and until that time she could manage the professor-elect alone. She assumed a yielding smile of coquetry. "Oh, some of the girls aren't so bad looking," she said. "Some of the poor farmers' daughters take places in the professors' families. In return for working three or four hours a day they get their board and keep and they eat with the families—all except when there is extra company. They call them 'student helps.'" For a moment the young man looked alarmed. "You don't happen to be one of those girls?" he asked hurriedly. To flirt with a girl who might later be a student in one of his classes and who possessed the dignity of being a candidate for a college degree was quite another thing from passing a few otherwise dull moments with a forlorn little kitchen maid whose youthful charms happened to take his fancy. "I don't look it, do I?" asked Ursula in a way that dispelled the instructor's anxieties. "Of course, you don't," he assured her. "When I get this job out here in the fall I'm going to manage somehow to see more of you. Perhaps my sister will get you to work for us instead of the Judson's. No one need know that I arranged it, and somehow we can manage to have a few good times together. I see you aren't going to be cross with me, are you?" "Then you are really going to get the appointment?" Ursula asked with feigned enthusiasm over the prospect. "Surely. Did you hear me pulling the wool over the old man's eyes? I did manage to make a good impression, even if you, you little beauty, were doing your best to rattle me. The only person standing in the way of me, I understand, was that son of the professor, Rodney Judson. And, of course, he wouldn't stand any show against me even with his own father." Young Mr. Grieg had abandoned the task of assistant and stood very close to the girl's side, where he could see every gradation in the coral that came and went in her cheeks under his gaze. "Good-night, Mr. Grieg," she said, as she heard the first footfall of Rodney Judson outside. "You won't send me away without a better, good-night than that—" that was what the young instructor intended to say, but he never said it. For before he could say more than two syllables Rodney Judson stood before him in the kitchen. He made a badly calculated step toward the back stairs. "Don't hurry away," said Ursula very sweet, turning to the professor's son, who was in the kitchen by this time. "Rodney, Mr. Grieg has been down to get a glass of water. Mr. Grieg, it will do no harm to tell you that Mr. Judson and I are engaged—though as yet we have not told even Rodney's parents. I am sure we can depend on your confidence. I was just telling Mr. Grieg about our system of student helps and I was going to explain to him that if it were not for that system I would never have had a chance of coming to college or of meeting you, Rodney." "Splendid idea," stammered Mr. Grieg. "By all means you can trust me," and then, selzing the empty tumbler, he hurried up the back stairs. "Good news," said Rodney when they were alone. "The president decided against Grieg when he saw him this afternoon. Wouldn't give his reasons. And he called me over tonight to tell me he would give me the appointment instead. Too bad for poor Grieg, but it means we won't have to wait many months more. Of course, they'll pay Grieg's expenses out here, but I'm sorry for him. He didn't seem like a bad sort, did you think so?" "I don't believe he would ever have fitted in here at Brompton," Ursula commented. "He wasn't just exactly our sort." And being wiser than her years Ursula never had another comment to make on the rejected instructor. The Way of It. "What a tall man Mamie married!"

There is a request from hospitals for scrapbooks made to interest the convalescent soldiers when time hangs heavy on hands forced to be idle. Certainly here is a simple and easy task waiting for those who are anxious to serve the needs of our soldiers in some way, but with little time or money to spare. And convalescents in the hospital are not the only ones who will find the scrapbook something to enjoy and pass along. So, if you are casting about for something to send to the Sammies for Christmas, consider the many virtues of a clever scrapbook. These books are to be filled with pictures, cartoons, very short stories, good and new jokes (especially those originating in the army). These can be cut from magazines or papers or gathered elsewhere. Old files of magazines might prove a good field for exploration in filling them. Kodak pictures, Fads Au Fasl Fads And Fancies Of Fashion # MODELS IN COATS FOR MISSES We can achieve smartness in coats that sell at a moderate price, if they are made up in correct lines and in accordance with accepted styles. This is a consummation devoutly to be wished for the mother of the young girl. No one is more sure of what she wants, or harder to change in her convictions, than the miss in her teens, but, thanks be, she is not exacting in the matter of materials. She does not yearn for ermine or sealskin and will gladly wear rabbit fur disguised as either, if only it is made up in the right way. For her the coat in the picture has been designed. It possesses all the style requisites which she, can demand, worked out in materials that are moderate in price—as prices go just now. This coat is evidently an adaptation of styles with the authority of at least two famed Paris houses behind them. It is of bolvin, a heavy wool cloth, banded with a fur fabric that has much the effect of moleskin. The lines are straight from shoulder to hem and there is the cozest and smartest of muffler collars about the neck, a narrow girdle, with long ends of the simplest "throw-over" variety, is finished with hanging ornaments of silk cord. On the original model there if good and of general interest, will help out, and those of animals or country life are always interesting, or those made on trips to places of great natural beauty of historic interest. The blank books can be had at the humble and useful ten-cent stores and the pictures pasted in them. There is really more interest in this work, if the books are to be sent to acquaintances who have joined the army, and it is not at all hard to get acquainted with some soldier boy who may have less attention from home than his comrades. One especially nice thing about them is that they can be passed along and another is that the work is interesting in itself. The pictures and stories should always be cheerful. The boys at the front have no use for "sob stuff," but they don't mind being a little sentimental. Here is a chance to be immediately seized, to do something worth while for Christmas. Fancies union were no pockets, but pockets are very practical on winter coats and they have been added without marring this design. Buttons are used for fastening the coat; three large ones, covered with cloth like the coat, are placed at the front, one above and two below the girdle. Three smaller ones manage the collar and the front of the body. The bands of fur fabric need not be like the coat in color; those in black look well on almost any of the fashionable colors in wool, but the best effects are not in strong color contrasts. Dark brown with brown bandings, taupe with taupe bandings, wine or dark amethyst with black bandings are good combinations for coats. All the neutral or "glove" colors are to be recommended.

A cavalryman must learn to drive by the pressure of his legs so both his hands will be free to fight with, for a cavalryman is a regular armory all to himself. He carries a pistol, a rifle and a saber, and he must be able to use them freely without being thrown from his horse. There's something very romantic about the cavalry, something very thrilling about the thunder of hundreds of horses' hoofs, something that makes one's heart leap with joy—or terror, or a mixture of both. For myself, if I were "the enemy," I believe I'd much rather face a machine gun than a cavalry charge, writes Mary Woodson Shippey in the Southern Woman's Magazine. But, somehow, the cavalry has not proven practicable in the present war, and as France and England can furnish about all that might be needed, most of our cavalry are to be made into artillery, because of the great need of artillery. In fact, all the new cavalry regiments are to be trained as artillerymen, while the old ones are being trained as infantrymen, although they will all keep their designation as cavalrymen. This gives them a double dose of training—for they must be able to drill equally well afoot or on horseback—as well as a double lot to learn. But they all insist, to a man, that they're not infantrymen—or "doughboys" and "leather-necks," as they derisively call them—but "dismounted cavalry." And so be it, since they are so terribly proud of their branch of the service and so loyal to it. There were fully as many, or more, of these "dismounted cavalrymen" up on the hills going through regular infantry drill as there were cavalrymen astride horses—hundreds of them, olive-drab" units marching, marching everywhere among the wheeling, circling horses, making one dizzy just watching. And standing on on lone prominences were various officers, silent, alert, their horses like statues—if statues could switch angrily at flies—their keen eyes watching very critically this army of these United States grow, picking out the mistakes and flaws in under-officers and men. It gave one a strange, comforted feeling—a strange impression of a determination to see to it that all these hundreds of boys were perfect in all the tricks of the trade, so they could take care of themselves. And how young the most of them seemed! Slim, smooth-cheeked boys, their faces just growing up to the square manliness of their trim shoulders, for the cavalry takes younger boys than any other branch of the service. Good Resolution Didn't Last. Good Resolution Didn't Last. When Nathaniel Ripple was just a youngster he did very little work about the place. In fact he didn't do anything. But one day, when he was almost ten years of age, he decided to take some of the work off his mother's shoulders. When breakfast was over he ordered his mother to the front porch. He was going to wash the dishes for her. When they were finished he called her to look at them, and she was very much surprised. She could hardly believe that he had done all that work by himself. Then he told her that he was going to wash them for her every meal. Of course she was glad, and she told him he might run out and play. Him play? Not a bit of it. He took the broom and swept every floor in the house. Mrs. Ripple, who is a very truthful woman, said that he swept them just as good as she could have done it herself. He then informed her that he was going to sweep them for her every day. That was the last time Nathaniel ever washed the dishes or swept the floors.—Claude Callan in Kansas City Star. Bible War Bread Recipe The ninth verse of the fourth chapter of Ezekiel reads as follows: "Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, . . . and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof." In the thirteenth century David Kimchi, the commentator, wrote: "The prophet thus warns the disobedient children of Israel that, during the siege of Jerusalem, they will not longer be able to make their bread with pure wheat, but they will have to mix it with all kinds of grain and vegetables with which flour is not made, unless extreme need makes it necessary to do so." War bread in Europe is now made according to the recipe of Ezekiel. But it is not baked with the same kind of fuel. For particulars see Ezekiel 4: 12. Fake, Salvarsan. The New York city department of health has unearthed a sensational fraud in the manufacture of fake salvarsan. The imitation, which was put up in New York and sold widely throughout this country, as well as in Canada, Mexico, and Central America, consists of ordinary table salt colored with a little aniline dye. The package, circular, ampoul and every visible detail of the original article are cunningly imitated. It is believed that at least 50,000 doses of the fake article have been sold. His Place.

HAPPENINGS in the BIG CITIES Difference in Business Ethics Caused Trouble NEW YORK.—If the actions of two old clothes men are to be accepted, the first vital effect the world war had upon the United States is to produce an unheard of scarcity of second-hand garments. Both men made it clear ment later there developed what sounded like the advance of a Roman mob on the floor below where the beckoner lived. Doors were opened, slammed and locked, windows raised and the roars of alarmed tenants presently brought the police. They found the two ol' clothes men rolling over and over and hither and thither and elsewhere on the second floor. When separated they immediately accused each other of everything and made it clear that from henceforth until the day they roll into their mausoleums they will sue each other in every available American court on every possible charge attending the sale of old clothes and allied industries. In the Harlem court each man insisted that the other had attempted to cut him out of business and that the flat dweller had never even considered the other when he beckoned. They declared that nowadays a suit of second-hand clothes is a clothing Kohinoor and that for another clothing dealer to crash into a house and steal a beckon is "positive the worst as can be in such business like this." Each insisted that he had bought nothing all day and had intended to break his luck not his head, upon entering the flat house. They sang foreign hymns while paying fines of $2 each. Proved Herself Worthy Member of the D. A. R. Proved Herself Worthy Member of the D. A. R. KANSAS CITY.—The flag was a very old one and ragged and dirty. It had served its time and earned repose in the treasure chest of the police station No. 6. For flags may not be placed in waste boxes. Police station fully inquired. Then, without waiting for an answer, she told her errand, the words tumbling over one another in the haste of their delivery. "I am a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. We protect flags. The one you have flying out there is in a condition that makes it a disgrace and a legal offense, for a federal law forbids any public office flying a flag that is either torn or soiled. Please take it down. It has been soiled and torn a long time." The officer looked very much surprised. He gazed earnestly at the bright-eyed woman, exquisite in appearance and a little bit frightened. Then he turned to a policeman seated in the office. "Go out there," he thundered, "and take down that flag." The incident was closed. The lady departed. But the next morning, when she passed that way, taking her surgeon husband to St. Luke's hospital, a fine new flag was flying from station No. 6. Doorkeeper Succumbed to High-Sounding Title Doorkeeper Succumbed to High-Sounding Title WASHINGTON.—At a night session up on Capitol Hill not long ago a large person from the West, with considerable nerve and no modesty, endeavored to get into one of the public galleries. Because of the fear on the person didn't think he could bluff his way into the president's own reservation, but he waltzed up to the diplomatic gallery, and it was just his luck that the regular veteran doorkeeper was not on the job at that moment. The substitute, though, looked him over, and decided he must be something or other with all that mustache and that fleet of females. "It is necessary to have your card, though," said the doorkeeper, "because I have to know who you are." "I have no cards with me," responded Nervo. "But I am the Ahkoond of Swat and these are three of my wives." And with that the doors swung open and the quartet of four-flushers went in, sat down, gazed upon the session below and later retired. The next day someone told the substitute doorkeeper that Nervo had put one over on him. "Aw, shucks," replied the substitute, "that ain't nothing. Freaks like that butt in here every day." Allege That "Millionaire Miser" Stole Potatoes Allege That "Millionaire Miser" Stole Potatoes CHICAGO.—John H.

EDITORIALS. Attention has been called to the fact that T. R. is a Mason which only completes the category of virtues which go to make up the greatest private citizen the world has ever known. In studying the effects of the Harrison anti-narcotic law from all sides one is convinced more than ever that it is an ill wind which blows nobody an automobile. The Italians of Kansas City, whose brethren at home are being overwhelmed by the savage Huns, subscribed for only one-third as many Liberty Bonds as did the members of our race. Let's help win the war. Let's be unselfishly patriotic. Let's forgive and trust. Let's hope. Loyal devotion to that which is true, right and just has never been wholly in vain. Kansas City is proud of the Women's Committee who worked so faithfully and untimely to secure the $120,000 subscribed by Negroes for Liberty Bonds. This excellent committee was as follows: Chairman, Mrs. G. G. Mason; Vice Chairmen, Mesdames Rosa Jenkins, Sarah Radford, William J. Thompkins, H. O. Cook, Emma Collins Payne, T. G. McCampbell, Pearl M. Dabney and Clara Adams; Secretary, Mrs. Nannie Bunch; Treasurer, Mrs. Minnie Crosthwait; Executive Committee, Mrs. Josephine Finney, Chairman, and Mesdames Estella Woods, Mattie Lewis, Louise Wynn, Fannie J. Dawley, J. R. E. Lee, Josephine Jones, Naomi Foster, Josephine Abernathy, Dora Harris, T. B. Watkins, Mazelle Washington, J. E. Perry, Amanda Wheeler, Ladd Smith, Fidella Mitch ell, Bertha Estol and Inez Page Chinn The editor received from Mr. J. E. Walton of Bishop, Cal., a fine specimen of mineral containing 80 per cent tungsten, the highest grade ever found. It was taken from the claim of J. McCoy (Colored), located in the Sheepshead Mountains in California. Brother Walton says he is destined to be one of the wealthiest men on the Coast if the find holds cut. When Denman Thompson first produced "The Old Homestead" the sum of human happiness was added to considerably; everywhere the play and its noble characters were seen. Its homely charms warmed into life precious memories. Every heart responded to its natural life. The hardened lines of a formal, selfish world were melted in their places and faces made to beam with softening thoughts of other days and their best joys. It was a glad experience and did the soul good. It spread good cheer wherever it went. It was a sort of dramatic landscape, fragrant, and glowing with healthy life, with Uncle Joshua lifted up and standing out from it all, an evident king amid the greatest glory. A grand revival of this famous play will be presented at the Garden Theatre next week, beginning with Sunday matinee, with an exceptional cast. So the social workers have found out that my people need better homes, have they? Why? Because the insurance companies feel the necessity of prolonging the lives of their policy-holders. But Vaughan has been preaching better homes for seven years. And because better homes make better people. Better people make a better race. Don't live in these "cubby-holes." Buy a home—it's the safest way—you get what you want then. MME A.

Jenkins last Sunday night at Allen Chapel. —That wedding bells are not ringing as often nor as loud as in days past and gone. Why, girls? —That out in some sections of the city they are trading a pan-full of coal for a cup of sugar, and a cup of lard for a pan of flour, etc., etc. Well, we've got to live. —That it never pays to take a dude's money to buy clothes, as a certain young widow was undressed last week in the presence of her many admirers. Better be "keerful," girls. —That it took Mamma, brother and sister to pull one sweet thing away from her soldier boy when he was about to leave last Tuesday. Well she hated to give him up.

THE LAST HOPE. By CHARLES A. STARKS. (Written under the inspiring music of Gottschalk's immortal religious meditation.) The evening is here, the sun lastly sets, I see the soft twilight which meltingly comes. Overcasting shades of night now enter, Glowing and bristling with satin jewels. And they move, move silently, closing in, Somber like. Oh this flitting experience, Going out from the earth, the flickering Dying light, farewell to all and adieu. But now I see the stars, Oh ye sky marks, Intensely shining in burning orbits. I ever look on, ye and hope. Behold. Ye are the Divine expressions of soul! But goodbye stars e'en beyond you I look. Though night is on yet still it is nothing. Eternity wakes to me, thou art all Receive me, Oh my real and living Hope. Into Godly regions I see, I float, Etheral passages, beautiful thoughts Moving on and on, on and on, Great God! 'Tis Thee, I kneel, I trust, To Thee I bow. Thou are kind and sweet angels are with Thee The Sun for 25c from now until January 1, 1918. In Eastern lands they talk in flowers, And they tell in a garland their loves and care; Each blossom that blooms in their garden bowers On its leaves a mystic language bears." Words cannot express my gratefulness to my many friends in the city and out of town for their earl courtesies and flowers during my illness. I wish to thank Rev. S. W.

CLEVEREST CROOKS MAKE MISTAKES Little details overlooked by criminals often lead to their undoing—Some instances given T HE most absorbing detective stories are based on the proposition that a series of truthful events dovetail together with exact nicety, while a fabricated story of similar events must always have a missing cog, which with diligent search will be discovered. It is beyond human ingenuity to construct a false story of a series of events and not make a mistake. Prosecuting attorneys are always on the watch for these little openings that explode the false testimony. Nor are there lacking numerous examples of this situation in the daily court grind and in general police work. A few days ago a merchant reported to the police that a large shipping case had been opened nearly $500 in merchandise abstracted and the case unified shut again. A police detective was detailed to make an investigation of the theft. He went over the ground with a department head and at the conclusion of his investigation had learned absolutely nothing. At a loss as to the next move he engaged the head shipping clerk in conversation, the talk being relative to the man's trade. The clerk, an affable mechanic, took pride in demonstrating the efficiency of his department. He explained everything about the business and at last demonstrated the method of making boxes. This was a new thing to the officer. The boards were placed in position about a form of the dimension the finished box would be and with one movement nearly 100 nails were automatically driven home. The box was thus made as quickly as a man could assemble the boards, there being no time lost in the nailing process. The detective booked over the machine that in one operation drove all the nails and—got a hunch. Strolling back to the packing case that had been riffed of its contents he made a careful examination of the surface. Then for the first time in his experience as a detective he took stock of the fiction detective and brought into play a magnifying glass. The surface of the box indicated that instead of the mechanical nail-driving process the nails had been driven with a hammer. The magnifying glass disclosed that the hammer marks were made by a badly chipped hammer. Continuing his search the officer eventually found a hammer in the tool chest of a delivery boy's equipment that made exactly the kind of marks found on the packing case. It only required a few hours' investigation to ascertain that the youth was the thief and that he had been disposing of the goods in a foreign settlement. The discovery of the hammer marks unfolded the crime in a few hours, while had the usual process been followed the detectives would have had to investigate the entire force of employees who had access to the basement. The theft and sale had been entirely covered up and it was only the one cog in the wheel that had been missing. Arson Plots Revealed. It is in cases of arson that this theory is oftenest demonstrated and the prosecuting attorney must ever be on the alert to detect the point where there is a divergence of the fabricated story. Within recent years there have occurred in a limited district more than 100 fires of more than a suspicious nature. Many of these have been exposed in court and others by some law in the construction of the crime. An arsonist planned a fire and was highly successful. He had also concocted an alibi and proved by excellent witnesses that he had left home 24 hours prior to the fire. The district attorney's office, while feeling that the man was lying, could hardly refute the testimony of the witnesses produced. It was not until the last day of the trial that a member of the district attorney's office discovered that on the day the man declared he left home by train, owing to a wreck the train had not been sent out over the regular route and it was therefore impossible for the man to have taken that train. The prisoner was convicted on this one circumstance. A woman conducted an unprofitable apartment house venture and planned for more than five months to destroy the property by fire. She placed more than 100 gallons of distillate and gasoline in various vacant rooms in the house. The place was a vertical bomb and had it been fired it would have been blown to pieces with great loss of life. On the night the fire was to have been started the woman opened a stopcock in the furnace room, permitting 40 gallons of distillate to escape into the room. Then she went to the top floor of the building for the purpose of overturning the many cans of inflammable liquids. In the first room she entered, long vacant, the fumes of the gasoline overcame her and she swooned, falling against a table and overturning a telephone. The light on the switchboard alarmed the operator, who, knowing the room to be unoccupied, made an investigation and discovered the plot. The ring and gang of arsonists fired the home of a wealthy fellow-countryman, but in arranging their plans spilled some of the liquid on their clothing. When they struck a match to light the slow fuse that was to have exploded the bomb after their departure they were both horribly burned. The men were given long prison terms, but were released on a technicality after serving two years of the sentence. A jeweler desired to get a quick return on his insurance and planned a fire. He placed a gasoline bomb in a closet, floated a lighted candle in the mixture and died to a neighboring city, thereby hoping to establish an alibi. When he opened the front door of his home to leave draught was created and the closet door blew shut. Lack of air extinguished the flame. A policeman witnessed the flight of the jeweler and made an investigation. The fire trap was discovered and an officer went in pursuit of the jeweler. When apprehended the police searched the man and found on him his fire insurance policy. On the envelopes were figures that later turned out to be an invoice of the property as it stood and a computation of the of ash and that the fire but that holding. described a brass-finished kis, tables.

Jim rancher oker to jail porate story money from insurance, indicating that the man anticipated a fat profit from the transaction. A well-known detective once overthrew an insurance fraud that was all but perfect in detail. The fire was to all appearances an accident and there was nothing on the surface to indicate fraud. Notwithstanding, the officer went into court to contest the claim for insurance and to prosecute the insured. The case went slowly along until the defendants put in their claim, mostly for expensive furniture. Then the officer showed his hand. He produced the entire remains of the fire in the form of ash and charred wood and convinced the jury that the fire was not only of an incendiary origin, but that there was nothing of value in the building. The owners of the furniture had described a number of brass beds, elaborate, brass-finished furniture, dressers, wardrobes, trunks, tables, lamps and other metal-bound articles. The detective showed that there was not a trace of metal in the ash—no hinges, knobs or brass bed frames—nothing in fact but several hundred nails, such as come from packing cases. While it was impossible to prove arson, the insurance was never paid, as the insured fled the same night. Rancher Robbery Victim. Only a few weeks ago a Lankershim rancher saved $2,700 and sent a dishonest broker to jail for a long term by breaking up the elaborate story of the accused. The rancher drew the money from a local bank for the purpose of purchasing an additional piece of ground. He went to his home to meet the agent, and while awaiting his arrival worked about a windmill in the yard. Becoming warm with the exertion of tightening up a number of rods and replacing a number of iron pipes the rancher removed his coat and hung it on a board at the well. After a time he went to a nearby building to secure an additional section of pipe. On his return the coat was on the ground, the money missing. The rancher heard the muffled roar of an automobile driven at a high rate of speed and rushing into the road saw a small machine disappearing in a cloud of dust. The rancher believed he recognized the broker's automobile, and going to a telephone he notified the police and sheriff's office of the theft and of his suspicion of the broker. But while waiting to hear from the officers the rancher was surprised to observe the broker coming down the road in an entirely different car than the one he usually rode. The rancher formally welcomed the broker, made a quiet statement of the robbery and then declared that he had recognized the thief. He did not mince words, but openly accused the broker of the theft. While the men were wrangling a deputy sheriff appeared. The rancher was so positive in his identification of the broker as being the person that had fled that the deputy placed the man under arrest. A search of the broker's safe revealed several sums of currency that totaled a little more than $2,700. The broker fell back on the plea that there could be no identification of money unless it was marked or unless the numbers on the bills were produced. Nevertheless, after a consultation between the rancher and a deputy district attorney a warrant was issued. The money in the broker's safe was seized, placed in an envelope and marked evidence. At the trial the rancher was unable to prove much of a case on the broker. The machine was one of several million of the same model. He could not swear whether the broker was in the machine, and he acknowledged that he did not have the numbers of the lost currency. Then the broker was placed on the witness stand and endowed to show that he was at a certain office at the very time of the robbery. Then by relatives he tried to show that the money in his safe had been delivered to him in several sums. At this point the district attorney called on several persons who alleged they had paid him money. In each instance they declared the money had been drawn either from a bank or had been secured on the day of delivery from another. The district attorney's representative then arose and walking over to the accused broker, broke the seal on the package of money held as evidence and, holding it in front of the prisoner, demanded if there was any identifying mark on the currency. Nonplused for the moment, the man replied there was none. Turning to the rancher the deputy asked the same question. "Yes, there is a decided mark of identification on every bill," the man replied. Turning back to the broker the deputy gave him another opportunity to identify the money, and a third time appealed to him to know if there was any way in which he could establish ownership. Remember the rancher had not viewed the currency since it went into the hands of the deputy district attorney. The deputy then called on the rancher to identify the money. "If the bills in that package are mine the edges will be found smeared with red lead. I dropped the roll onto a splotch of the red lead while I was working on my windmill and, after cleaning off as much of the stuff as I could, I put the money in a coat pocket, letting the damp edges project out so they would dry. That is how this man (pointing to the prisoner) came to see the money." The bills were examined and each one was found to have the telltale red mark along the edge. More than that, three witnesses came forward to testify that they had observed traces of red on the broker's hands on the day of his arrest and the broker declared that he "must have cut his hand." He Forgot the Rain. In a prepared story meant to deceive, quite as likely as not the impostor will overdo his part and thus lead to exposure. A youth with a serious charge hanging over his head managed to quite fog the issue of the case by a cleverly prepared alibi. Two reputable but mistaken witnesses assisted him. In an effort to find a point on which to selze the district attorney permitted, or rather, THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1917 insisted, on a complete detailed account of the man's movements on the day in question. The story was glibly told and it was impossible to confuse the witness. Then came the stumble. Among other incidents the prisoner told of visiting a bootblack and explained that in addition to having his boots polished he had received a thorough brushing off, all because it was an exceedingly dusty day. The records were produced and these showed that one of the heavy rains of the season raged not only on the day of the crime, but on the days prior and following. The witnesses were recalled and they also remembered that it was a dusty blowy day. This so confused the prisoner he made several other misstatements which in the end led to his conviction. A ranch hand accused of the wholesale theft of grain from the fields of California ranches declared that he was not in California until after the date of the alleged robbery. He then convicted himself by describing a clump of gum trees in one of the fields. The prosecution was able to show that these trees were cut down two weeks before the robbery and that the accused could not have described the trees except from personal knowledge. His alibi upset, the unfortunate ranch hand pleaded to turn state's evidence and implicate what he was pleased to term the ringleaders of an extensive gang of grain thieves. Identify Coin by Perfume. Several weeks ago a woman dropped her purse, containing a large sum of money. A child of tender years picked up the valuable container and started to carry it home. Two men in an oil distributing station saw the incident and managed to get the purse from the child, glying him a few pennies. The men hid the money in an oil can, first extracting a few bills for immediate use. The same day the owner of the money made a report to the police and also instituted a personal search. She inquired all along the street in which the loss had occurred, eventually embracing the very child that had found the money. The little tot immediately pointed out the two men who had taken the purse and the woman made a formal demand for the return of the money. The men denied the theft and by their fierce denial frightened the child. Police officers were summoned, but by this time the child was thoroughly demoralized and refused to identify the men, declaring that he was not now certain to whom he had delivered the purse. The owner of the money, among other things, declared the bills of currency could be identified, if located, by their odor. She explained that following her securing the currency from a bank she had purchased a bottle of perfume and that this bottle had been accidentally opened in her purse and the bills saturated with the liquid. The police visited the stores in the neighborhood and learned that one of the suspected men had paid a grocery bill a few hours after the money was supposed to have come into his possession. On examining the bills that had been paid to the grocer they were found to be strongly impregnated with perfume. Then the officer searched the oil station, sniffing into every can and box in the place. Within a few moments after the search was instituted one of the officers found the bills secreted in a can of cotton oil waste, the perfume being distinctly discernable in spite of the oil. Minor Matters Trip Crooks. Instances of a similar nature may be found in the police court without number. A thief was convicted recently on a charge of larceny because, although he had memorized the numbers on the case and works of a watch and produced what purported to be a bill of sale, still he did not know that in the scroll work on the back of the case were the initials of the owner. Another criminal was justly convicted and later made a full confession after the police had dispaired of fastening the crime on him. He was accused of cutting open a number of packages in an express office and extracting articles of value, repairing the damage to the package so that there could be no exposure for several days after the theft. While the trial was in progress the prosecuting witness picked up a pocket knife, the acknowledged property of the accused, and on a close examination found a red coral bead in the slot where the knife blade reposed when clasped. One of the beads had stuck to the knife blade and had thus been imbedded in the knife slot. This simple find resulted in the man's conviction and the return of several thousand dollars' of loot to the express company.

She had found her bureau of information. She wanted to know if spies had done it, and what it was, and if anybody was killed. And the boy grinned contempt. "Nothing but a gas leak in a manhole. An accidental spark set it afire—that's all." "Well, I'm glad it wasn't true about them trying to bomb up the car full of people who weren't harming anybody." "Betcher I'm not, then.

Teacher of English in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1917, Western Newpaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 4 DEFEAT THROUGH DRUNKEN- NESS. (World Temperance Sunday.) LESSON TEXT-I Kings 20:1-21. GOLDEN TEXT-Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.-I Kings 20:11. 1. Samaria Besieged (vv. 1-12). 1. By whom (v. 1.) Benhadad, the Syrian king, accompanied by 32 kings, came against Samaria. These 32 kings were not allies, but rulers over the neighboring cities-vassal princes. 2. Benhadad's message to Ahab (vv. 2-6). He offered peace on the most abject and insulting terms. His demands meant more than the exaction of tribute. He over-reached himself in this; thus defeating his purpose. He not only demanded tribute money, but the surrender of that which was most vital to Ahab's manhood and self-respect—his wives and children. He thus made a thrust at his tenderest spot. Many a man has been thus aroused to do his duty, who otherwise would have submitted to shameful indignities. 3. Ahab's reply (vy. 4. 7-9.) His reply was tame and humiliatingly submissive. Perhaps, he thought it only meant the giving of tribute, which he was willing to do in face of Benhadad's overwhelming army. Conciliatory measures were regarded as most prudent. But the peremptory demands of the enemy repeated, awoke Ahab to his senses, and caused him to call together the elders of the land, who counseled against submission. Thus stiffened for the opposition, Ahab refused to make full compliance with his demands. 4. Benhadad's bluster and boasting (v. 10.) The design of this was to strike terror into the hearts of the king and people. He vows that he will make Samaria a heap of dust, and that this dust will not be sufficient to fill the hands of his army, so overwhelming is the number of his host. 5. Ahab's answer by a proverb (v. 11.) "Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off." This is a proverb full of points for all boasters. God's purpose may overrule all man's proud presumptions. "Man proposes, but God disposes." "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." 6. Readiness for the attack (v. 12.) In the full confidence of victory, the Syrian king was giving a banquet to his princes. In the midst of this feasting, the command was given to invade Samaria. Incited by strong drink, he gave no attention to the striking proverb of Ahab. Many have gone to ruin because through the stupor of drunkenness, they have failed to heed proper warnings. 11. A Prophet Sent to Ahab (vv. 13, 14.) Who the prophet was, we are not told, but why he was sent, is made clear. He brought from God a promise of victory which was to cause Ahab to know, Jehovah. It is a marvelous display of God's goodness and grace. Israel deserved the most severe chastisement, but God promised victory for his own sake in order to make his glory known. The agency by which the victory was to be achieved, was the young men, an agency purposely feeble, that the victory might be seen to be of God. III. Ahab's Victory Over the Syrians (v. 15-21) The army of Abah was but a handful compared with that of the Syrian king (v. 15; cf. v. 10). Benhadad, with confidence in his superior numbers, ordered the young men of Israel to be taken whether they came for peace or war. He, with his princes, continued their drunken debauch. The young men struck right and left, creating great consternation. When the seven thousand reserves joined the young men, a general panic was produced among the Syrians. From the human side, the victory is accounted for by the drunkenness of the Syrians, but from the divine side, we see that God wrought for his own glory. Ahab pursued the Syrians with a great slaughter, but Benhadad escaped. Many have been the defeats which have come through drunkenness; defeats in morals, defeats in religion, defeats in business, defeats in physical endurance. The man who indulges even moderately, has reduced his opportunities of success very greatly. Most of the accidents by automobiles, railroads, etc., are traceable to the use of intoxicating liquors. Short-Sightedness. Few people, rich or poor, make the most of what they possess. In their anxiety to increase the amount of means for future enjoyment, they are too apt to lose sight of their capability for the present—Leigh Hunt. Duty for All. I am sure that it is a duty for all of us to aim at a just appreciation of various points of view, and that we ought to try to understand others rather than to persuade them.—A. C.

Four Hundred Tons of Egg Shells to Make Kid Gloves Many people imagine when an arti- cle is cast into the dustbin its days are ended.

Corks, too, are a valuable Item, for they sell to manufacturers at the rate of 9 cents a pound and In a year no fewer than $500,000 worth are thrown away.

Regiment of French Dragoons in Fighting Game Since 1635 The Twenty-secorid Regiment of Dra- goons of the French army ts one of the oldest regiments of the republic, It was organized in 3635 under the name af the Orleans regiment, and took part from 1689 to 1756 in all the great wars in which the French were engaged be- fore the Revolution. From 1798 to 1814 it was continually at work, first under the republic and afterwards in Napo- Jeon’s time, It took part in the great battles at Austertitz, 1805; Jena, 1806; Eyluu, 1807, and Oporto in 1809. Many pennants fly from {ts standard in honor of its bravery in battles, At the end of July, 1914, the regt- ment was stationed at Reims, where It ad been for many years in peaceful occupation. War clouds burst suddenly. Soon the elty of Reims was awake, the streets filled with people, all wending their way towards the cavalry bar- racks to have a last glimpse of the de- parting dragoons. ‘Three hours after the bugle call the regiment stood ready awaiting the command of the colonel to mount. In a long address the colonel reminded the soldiers of the achievements of their forefathers, hoping that they would be brave to add another pen- hant to those already attached to their standard, and with the shout of “Long live France! Long live the Repub- le! they swung into the saddle and left the barrack yard for an unknown destination. - 7 * : Popular Science. % : ‘An avernge tar yields 70 per % cent of pitch and only 6 per cent : of materials useful in making & = ayes. = $ If a grain of granulated sugar % %& were a hollow capsule it would 3 % hold 400,000,000 typhoid bacilli. x & A 80-passenger auto bus with % $ 0 four-wheel truck in front, runs on a standard railway track in % the Hood river region of Ore- % gon.

Professor See states that the irregularities in the moon's motion may be calculated, and that thereby the accuracy of the predicted places in its orbit may be in- creased twelvefold. “No irregularity,” he asserted, “now remains in the moon's motion large enough to be seen in the transit circles used by astronomers, Thus with the previous mathematical development curried out by Newton, Laplace, Hill, Newcomb, Brown and others, the lunar theory will be entirely perfected. Professor See regards his discovery as to the cause of the lunar fluctua- Hons, and his successful working out of tables that Indicate the place of the mioon in Its orbit more accurately than has been done heretofore, as corrobo- rative of his theory of the cause of gravitation, He has sent a report on his diseovery to the Royal Astronom!- cal society, London, and to scientific societies in Paris, Stockholm and Edin- burgh. Skim Milk Most Valuable When Used as Food. (From the United States Department of ‘Agriculture.) While skim milk is useful for animal feeding it will serve Its best use as food for humans, By substituting graf, green feed, buttermilk and whey in anl- mal feeding, much skim milk may be left for human use as a beverage, in cooking, condensing or for making cot- tage cheese. Only the surplus of this valuable human food should be fed to stock. While skim milk ts good for stock, the fact remains tha its highest eff ciency cannot be had through turning it into meat, Skim milk Is used most economically in animal production when fed to hogs, yet it takes 20 pounds when fed alone to produce one pound of pork, The same quantity ‘will make three pounds of cottage cheese, In addition, cottage cheese contains 13% stimes as much protein and one-third as much energy as pork, so that the skim milk tn the cheese form gives quite as much energy and 4% times as much protein as it would if converted into ham or bacon. Even at the highest prices recently paid for hogs, skim milk fed to them {8 worth not more than one cent ¢ pound. Yet one cent a pound or ap. proximately one cent a pint, is very cheap for any human food, and par- ticularly for x food so high in nutri- ‘tive value as skim milk, Carlyle’s Long Clay Pipe. Thomas Carlyle, whose memory will remain as a man who has given much to history, enjoyed his long clay pipes. They were made in Glasgow. These pipes were made with long green glazed tips for the mouthpiece, and those who visited at his home say that he smoked a new pipe every day or perhaps oftener from the stock that he kept in a box. Usually the pipes were in a corner of the fireplace, with- in the fender, and ready for Carlyle's further service. Here he stored also a half pound tin canister of his to- bacco, which was often replenished from his larger supply. The box stood usually on the table, though at times, It occupied a place of honor on the mantleplece. .

He was one of those solitary-looking men, According to the eagle device on his shoulders, he was a colonel in the United States army, He Issued forth from a lunchroom on lower Fifteenth street, and a newsboy not over twelve, stepped up to him with a paper. He seemed to be one of the kid's steady customers. ‘The unsmiling face of this man who seemed alone in the world lighted up us he saw the boy. | “Good-by, old top,” he said to the youngster, as he took the paper, “I won't see you any more.” “Are you going to war?” asked the boy, with an anxtous note in his voice. “Yeh; in a day or two now. Good-by, old fellow.” ‘The kid looked at him a minute in silence, and said slowly: “Good-by !” ‘The officer stuck the paper under his arm and turned up Fifteenth street, with a strange mistiness in his eyes, One got the idea that there wasn’t anybody else that the officer wanted to bid farewell—Exchange. Heavy Work Done With Steel. British and French alike use the heavy grenade for defensive work, where the thrower Is sheltered by 2 tvench or shell hole, But when the word comes to “go over” the Enghisn give little thought to the grenade, The hombardiers make a few long range throws as the force approaches the other trench, but once in the iriton does his work with the iron, The mop- pers-up who follow earry grenades for their work, while their comrades tear across country for the next trench. This appears to be one of the essen- tial differences {n French and English grenade practice which the Americans Will be called on to decide between. At present the opinion of the Amert- can Une officers seems to lean to the English idea that the light offensive grenade is of scant worth, No decis: ion will be reached until both plans have been subjected to trial. Give Cheerfulness a Chance. Cheerfulness Is a much rarer quality than ts generally supposed, especially among the rich. It was not common even before we learned that, in spite of Browning though God may be In his heaven, nevertheless, all is wrong tn the world, It “most men lend lives of qulet desperation,” as Thoreau says they do, {t is, I suspect, because they will not allow cheerfulness to break in upon them when it will, A good disposition ts worth u fortune. Give cheerfulness a chance and let the professed philoso- pher go hang.—A. Edward Newton, in the Atlantic, Japanese Champagne. ‘The Flowery Kingdom has, in the course of the war, been saturated with so much wealth that the government brewery at Takinogawa deemed It a good investment to go into the cham- Pagne producing business at 9 yen (yen, 50 cents) per bottle, ‘The effer- vescent power of the Japanese “Mad- ame?

The remodeled house is often more, comfortable, charming and satistying) than one built new, Buying a house, already built is much like purchasing clothes ready-made; it is never quite, a perfect fit; there ts never perfect) harmony with individual needs and re- quirements, says Noble Foster Hoggson in the Phialdelphia Publie, Ledger, Remodeling mnkes it virtue ally a new house, with the added ad- vantage that, the general plan being satisfactory, it is easier to see Just what modifientions and improvements| are needed than to see them in imag-! ination from a study of the archt-! tect’s plans for a complete new, bullding. An old house, endeured through Years of occupancy and association, grows into a familiar adjustment to} the needs of the family. But usually! there comes a growing realization of} the many ways in which it might be altered and improved. ‘The growing, family requires more rooms or! changed arrangements; or the taste off the owner, becoming finer with the, years, or bettered fortune making It! easier to make his dreams a reallty,, brings him face to face with the problem of remodeling, should he not; care to move to a new dwelling which) ‘might prove, when tested by occu paney, less satisfying. ; ‘The two principal reasons for res modeling are the utilitarian and the esthetic; the need of more space or more convenience and comfort and the natural desire to make the home more beautiful to the eye, Both re- quirements ean be met perfectly by proper remodeling, which may really prove an actual transformation. Re+ modeling gives a stamp of individu- ality to a dwelling as nothing else ean, for it means the revising of the bullding within and without to har- monize with individual tastes and needs, COST SHOULD BE IN HARMONY: Amount Put In House Should Not Ba Out of Proportion to the Value ‘of the Site. One of the most grievous mistakes the owner can make is to build a house which 1s out of proportion to the value of the land on which it is erected. The higher the cost of the land the better, as a rule, the character of future build« ‘ing operations in the neighborhood, For instance, It is generally unwise to build a house costing $5,000 om $6,000 on a site costing less than $25 to $40 a front foot. Nor should the reverse mistake be made of building # cheap house on an expensive site— though that Is governed by the re strictions which most developers of high-grade subdivisions impose. Cost of house and cost of site should be tm fairly striet proportion, Buy as much ground as you ean reas sonably afford. ‘Twenty-five-foot lots in a suburban section are an abomina- tion. Fifty-foot frontage should be the minimum for any modern residence bullt for a home, and 100 feet with the added possibilities of attractive lawn and garden fs better, ‘As a bit of advice here is an excerpt ‘from a booklet recently issued by @ realty broker: “Forced growth in anything is hnan ardous; natural growth is a guaranty, of stability and permanent values. De- mand governs supply, not supply de- mand. A plece of renl estate has 10 fixed value until someone takes it ta. keep and improve.” : Native Trees Are Desirable. Many people have the decidedly mty- taken idea that the only trees worth buying and setting out are the more or less expensive shrubs or evergreens which are not native to most sectiona of the country. The fdea of paying out good money for # pine or a birch or @ maple seems to go against the grain, As 4 matter of fact there are many} places where such trees are to be had for the trouble of digging them up an@ transplanting them, but even this ig considered too high a price, And yet for many purposes pines and maplés are as good trees as cun be had, ang there 1s nothing listed In the catalogue, more beautiful and graceful than s well cared-for group of white birches, Fall Best Time to Paint House. ‘The fall of the year is by far the best time to paint the exterior of @ house, for paint dries more slowly cool weather and consequently insta longer. ‘The heat of the summer sum on 2 house painted in tffe spring does much more harm than any winter weather and a fall painting is well seae roned before the next summer arrives. ‘Small files and insects are also a peat in spring painting.
