This splendid showing was made with a force of less than three hundred solicitors and during the height of the Red Cross campaign WHITE FRIENDS HELPED Lincoln High School With a Force of Sixty-Two Workers Led With a Total of $562.19 While Mrs. Fredericka Perry With a Force of 18 Workers Was Second with a Total of $274.22. MRS. M. E. DAUGHERTY LED The second annual tag day of the Negro Charities of this City held Saturday, December 22, the coming in competition with the Red Cross and the Funston Christmas campaign being conducted by the white people of the City was a distinct success. The total realized being $2,791.71 an increase over last year of more than $1,970.00. Much of the success of this campaign was due to the skillful planning of Secretary Fred W. Dabney,ably assisted by Mrs. P. M. Dabney, Dr. T. U. unthank and Mrs. T. G. Mc Dr. E. A. Walker, one of Kansas City's most prominent young physicians who has rendered magnificent service in achieving results in the Hospital campaign which ends today. Campbell. Every preparation was made for the campaign, the only regrettable feature being that enough workers were not available. Everybody from the grownups to the children entered with enthusiasm into the spirit of the occasion and staid matrons high school girls and children vied with each other in rolling up the largest individual reports. The honor for the largest individual collection goes to the handsome Mrs. M. E. Daugherty, 1517 Woodland Avenue who turned in $40.42 but she was closely pushed for first honors by the popular and charming Mrs. Nellie E. Young who turned in $39.14. The headquarters during the returns reminded one of a great election contest and the rooms were thronged with ladies until late in the evening awaiting the final count. Too much praise cannot be given each and every one of those who made sacrifice to do their bit during the day and many of the ladies were at the posts assigned them before seven o'clock in the morning which is yet dark demonstrating that they were thoroughly imbued with the principles of the cause for which they were laboring. After pay A Happy New Year to All Our Friends ment of all expenses the Childrens Home will receive $1005.00 and the hospital about $1512.00. Again the Sun says all honor to the unselfish men and women who made these results possible. We would not also forget to remember the aid and assistance rendered by Mr. O. J. Hill the banker and President of the Federated Charities which had much to do with our success. The amount reached was obtained in the following sums: one check for five dollars; one $5.00 bill; 1 check for $2.00; two checks for $1.00 each; forty two $1.00 bills; sixty silver dollars; three hundred three half dollars; twenty five hundred twenty quarters; eleven thousand seven hundred fifty dimes, twelve thousand five hundred sixty nickles, six thousand eight hundred fifty six pennies. Chief Flahive of the Metropolitan Police Force detailed all Colored Officers to assist the ladies and the Tag Day Association are loud in their praise of the kindness of the Chief as well as the uniform courtesy of all the citizefs white and Colored in the districts where they worked. The Sun predicts that with a complete and harmonious organization next year it will be possible for these charities to gather $5,000.00 on their annual Tag Day. The following itemized report tells the story of the day's work with the exception of two boxes which have been unaccounted for: TAG DAY REPORT. (1) Inez Page Chinn $ 5.95 (2) Louise Winn 14.85 G. H.

HOW THE SOUTH GOES TO WAR. It seems evident that the white than go on record as giving the bible. They are bent upon their pleasuresation to them.

It appears that 818 white men ton, and the board exempted 526 same county 202 Negroes were empted. There is nothing plainer than white south does not propose to upon te Negro. They are too low too immoral to live unto their law allow anybody to breathe in the comes this expression of patriotism with the spirit of mob violence, Iishness. To the whites of the south, the in their stead; he is good enough to stead; he is good enough to plant their stead; but he is not good enough to use their lives, nor to enter in the common courtesies they give to their idea of the south going let the whites be exempted. But moral Negro-hating hook-worm b. This is the war of the United States we do earnestly pray that the south battle, with no Negroes near to fu are not entering a war into which horse boys and "personal aids." "personal aid" are carrying their cowardly whites do likewise, and they will remember what Secret told them the other night "all for us are our boys, America's them." The President dismissed Judge board; S. J. Mitchell and Dr. C. M. gentlemen in Georgia. What would this is an example of the intelligent magazines of the country. A judge white men and send Negroes to the front row of the first firing line of machine gun known,—and we need progress.—Pittsburg Courier. It seems evident that the white south had rather go to hell alive than go on record as giving the Negro anything like a square deal. They are bent upon their pleasures and the country is of no consideration to them. The latest effrontery to the United States comes in the form of a typically southern insult committed by the Fulton County exemption board, which was dismissed by President Wilson because the board was found guilty of "unwarranted exemptions and discharges." It appears that 818 white men were called in the County of Fulton, and the board exempted 526 for one reason or another. In the same county 202 Negroes were examined, and only six were exempted. There is nothing plainer than the action of this board that the white south does not propose to do anything that can be imposed upon te Negro. They are too lazy to work for their daily bread, too immoral to live unto their lawfully wedded wives, too mean to allow anybody to breathe in the south but themselves, and now comes this expression of patriotism to the country they have ruined with the spirit of mob violence, lynchings, burnings and other hellishness. To the whites of the south, the Negro is fit to fight for them, and in their stead; he is good enough to till the soil for them and in their stead; he is good enough to plant cultivate and house the grain in their stead; but he is not good enough to ride in their street cars, nor to use their trains, nor to enter their churches, nor to be accorded the common courtesies they give their own dumb beasts. Their idea of the south going to war is to send the Negroes, and let the whites be exempted. But thank God those lazy, disloyal, immoral Negro-hating hook-worm breeders have met their Waterloo. This is the war of the United States, and all citizens must fight, and we do earnestly pray that the south will have to bear its share of the battle, with no Negroes near to furnish protection or comfort. They are not entering a war into which they may carry their Negro valet, horse boys and "personal aids." The valet, the horse boy and the "personal aid" are carrying their own gun for the cause. Let the cowardly whites do likewise, and perhaps when the struggle is over, they will remember what Secretary of War Baker meant when he told them the other night "all those boys who have gone to war for us are our boys, America's boys, all of them,—every one of them." The President dismissed Judge R. F. Thompson, chairman of the board; S. J. Mitchell and Dr. C. M. Curtis. These cowards are called gentlemen in Georgia. What would they be called in the trenches? This is an example of the intelligent south we hear so much of in the magazines of the country. A judge and a physician, trying to exempt white men and send Negroes to the war.

The Grand Lodge of the State of Missouri through the thoughtfulness of the Grand Master W. W. Fields and Secretary Geo. W. K. Love raised a fund among the lodges of the jurisdiction and were able to send to each one of the Masonic brethren of this jurisdiction o Comfort kit containing the following articles: I bath towel, 1 face towel, 1 wash towel, 1 complete toilet set including safety razor, 1 box of stationery, 1 pound of Prince Albert smoking to bacco. While the brethren were busy the ladies of the Eastern Star also assisted by sending to each man: one helmet, of gloves, wristlets, and a muffler. The Committee of the Eastern Star consisted of: Mr. G. W. K. Love, Royal Patron Chairman; Mrs. Virgie L. Waldron Grand Matron, Mrs. Bell Edwards and Mrs. Addie Allen. The boys are loud in their praise of the thoughtfulness and kind remembrance of their brethren and sisters of the Masonic family. REPORT OF W. C.

A CHRISTMAS GIFT. The Harmony Literary and Art Club assisted the Provident Aid Association by sending fifty Christmas baskets of food to fifty Colored families. The supply consisted of 5 bushels potatoes 3 bushels apples, 100 pounds cabbage, 10 pounds salt pork, 25 pounds sugar, 50 cans lima beans, 50 loaves bread, 25 pounds coffee, 60 rabbits. We wish to thank Dr. Martin B. Brookins and Mr. William McKnight for the use of their autos in the delivery of baskets and Prof. J. R. E.

Jennie Endicott, a Negro Maid, Saves Mother and Child. Jennie Endicott, a Negro maid, saved the lives of two persons when fire burst out at the home of Mrs. Mable Greagoff, 155 Cleveland Avenue, Kansas side, early last night. Mrs. Greagoff was sick in bed when the flames burst through the floor of the flames burst through the floor of screams and carried her downstairs She then turned for dna Greagoff, 2 years old, who was sleeping in the nursery. The house was filled with smoke before the maid reached the child. The firemen found the flames had been caused by an overheated oil burning furnace. The loss to the property was $1,500. PRICE, 5c. A BRILLIANT PARTY. One of the most brilliant and up-to-date dancing parties ever given in this city was that given by Mrs. T. E. Greer and Mrs. F. W. Simon in honor of their sister, Mrs. Grace Thomas Martin, of Jersey City, New Jersey, at the dancink academy, Cottage & Vine streets last Thursday evening. The hall was beautifully decorated with much artistic skill with Christmas bells and natural foliage. Kansas City's famous Jazz band furnished music for the evening and delicious punch was served by a bevy of charming young ladies. About one hundred fifty Kansas City's prominent young people were present. And Mrs. Martin was the recipient of many congratulations on account of her splendid health and visit to our city. It was easily one of the most successful affairs of the season and the guests left at a late hour unanimous in their praise of Mesdames Grear and Simon for their delightful evening. CHRISTMAS SERVICES AT ALLEN CHAPEL The Christmas services at Allen Chapel were the most impressive and largely attended ever witnessed in its history; fully 2,000 people were crowded within its walls and never in the ten years these services have been held has Prof. Jackson, the wizard of the Musical World rendered such a magnificent musical program. The Choruses were grand; the professional was both spectacular and inspiring; while the singing of Miss Lena Moseley, Mrs. R. G. Jackson and Mr. Edw. Boatner deserves special mention. The only regrettable feature of the service, was the passing out of large numbers, many of whom course had to go to their places of employment, but those who missed witnessing the recessional which was really one of the most beautiful as well as musical features of the entire program missed a rare treat. Dr. Thomas' sermon was an epic as well as a classic and under its magnetic influence five persons joined the church. All in all it was the greatest service All in all it was the greatest service ever held in Allen Chapel. Dr. D. M. Miller, the splendid young physician who has recently come to our city, has the distinction of having given the largest sum of any physician in the city to the Hospital Campaign fund. Dr. Miller is an orator of no mean ability and has built up a splendid practice since coming here. DON'T FAIL TO ATTEND. The Emancipation Proclamation Celebration Tuesday, January 1, 1918 at Liberty, Mo., held at the Mt. Zion Baptist church.

TO TEN MILLION COLORED CITl-) | ZENS OF THE UNITED STATES. | Greetings of the Seasons: ‘The world is engulfed in the red ruin of war, The present titanic con- flict is not due to the inherent devil- try of one nation or the innate good- ness of another, The accumulative energies of society for generations have been dammed up by the barrier of hatred and greed. The stored up power is now breaking through the barrier ‘with cataclysmic outburst. | The social fabric is being shaken to its very foundation. As outcome of the war, the re-adjustment of the so- cial structure will be more radical than that effected by the French Re! yolution, The transforming effect up- on the status of the Negro will be scarcely less momentus than the Emanicipation Proclamation. The democratization of the world, coined as a fitting phrase, will be translated into aqjuality. The Declar- ation of eee penned by a | slave holder, sotfided the death knell of slavery, although three-quarters of ja century elapsed between promise and fulfillment. ®fhe democratization of the world is but a restatement of this doctrine in terms of present day attitude of the world. Political auto- cracy and race autocracy will be bur- ied in the same grave, Hereafter, no nation however strong, will be per- mitted to override a weaker neighbor by sheer dominance of power; and no - race will be permitted to impose a . Tuthless regime S-upon « the weaker - breeds of men through sheer assump- tion of superiority, Hereafter, Eng- . land will treat the East Indians; Tur- key, the Armenians, Russia, the Jews, and America, the Negroes, with a full er measure of justice’ and considera "tion than hertofore. , The peoples of all lands who are . heavy laden and oyerborne will be the | chief beneficiaries of this war. The | Negro problem is involved in the prob: |jlem of humanity. ‘The whole is great- ler than any of its parts. The Negro will share in the general momentum .|imported to social welfare. | Already, he has been admitted to , industrial opportunity in the north |with manifest reaction upon the ./harsh regime in the south. .| National prohibition, which is borne ;| forward on the wave of the world war, j| will immensely improve his moral -|status. Eighty thousand Negro sol .|diers have been enlisted, and seven | hundred Negroes have been commis. sioned as officers in the army of the United States, A Negro has been made assistant cabinet officer whose - funetion is to adjust harmoniously the jraces’ relation to the pending struggle | The improved attitude of the white race towards the Negro is apparent in two affirmative decisions rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States with unanimous concurrence. The Negro will emerge from this war with a double portion of privilege jand opportunity, | Every Negro should be loyal and | patriotic, although there are injustices jand discriminations whfeh try ou |souls, If we overcome, these trials |and tribulations will work out a more lexceeding weight of advantage. Bu | if we allow them to overcome us, woe |ful will be our lot indeed.

He often gets as much fs a peck of crabs at a dip. He bolls them, dries them in the sun and grinds them to a coarse meal. The chickens grow fat and lay well on this diet.

AMONG THE CHURCHES THE FIRST WORLD FESTIVAL OF THE YEAR ST. STEPHEN BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. J. W. Hurse is one of those self made but God fearing cross bearing God, called preachers who uses obstructions as stepping stones to success. Gifted with a striking presence and superb voice, he has in addition a flow of language excelled by few, for three successive years he has conducted an allnight Christmas service which has been a beneficial success. Madame Bartelle rendered an excellent program with the Choir that will long be remembered and cherished in the heart of every hearer. The members of the Motherboard presented a Bible wrapped in white linen representing the child Jesus and placed it in a cradle draped in white linen. Each mother was dressed in white. So very impressive was the meeting, that it was almost impossible for the Doctor to complete the service. The pastor will start an old fashioned Southern revival, everybody welcome to come and help us to destroy the camps of Satan. ALLEN CHAPEL A very inspiring sermon was delivered by the Minister, Dr. Wm. H. Thomas Sunday morning. Subject, "The Great Divide." In the evening he continued his sermon in pictures of the "Life of Christ." They are very interesting. The singing is performed by a full choir of forty voices. This service should be more largely attended. Class meeting Monday night, December 31, will be followed by watch meeting. An effort is being made to establish a new Mission church just north of Belvidere Hollow, if you wish to assist get a card holding $1.00 from the minister. Many visitors attended Sunday morning service, among them soldiers and little orphans from the Orphans' Home. A collection was lifted for the latter-to help cheer their Christmas day. Do not forget the date January 3rd, when Rev. T. H. Wiseman and wife will appear in a grand recital at Allen Chapel under the auspices of Douglass Hospital club for the benefit of the trustees.

FATHER CYPRIAN WRITES. Thursday's Times had an account of the shooting of Jean Rivers, the Negro at the Apartfents located at 43rd and Gilham Road by one C. O. Miles. Rivers is alleged to have been intoxicated and attempted to shoot Dr. W. J. Keohler who lives in the Apartments, claiming that he believed him to be a burglar, although the Doctor tried to explain yet Rivers fired at him several times until he was shot down by Miles with bullets shattering his thigh. Rivers is in the Old City Hospital in a critical condition. Relative to the above Father Cyprian, the much loved and devoted Priest in charge of St. Monica's Church and School writes as follows: Dear Mr. Crews: In reference to the incident recorded in The Times I wish to state that the shooting of Jean Rivers, Janitor at 4201 Gilham Rd., was not a crime, but a necessity to save the lives of good respectable people. The Negro who was beastly intoxicated threatened the life of Dr. W. Koehler and his wife and after he shot at these defenseless people was in turn shot by Mr. Miles. What are we coming to in this city if people cannot enter into their own homes without running the risk of being killed by a drunken janitor? And what a terrible calamity it would have been had the shots fired at Dr. Koehler and wife by this drunken wretch taken effect. The Koehler family are the greatest benefactors of the Negro parish (St. Monica's 17th and Lydia) and in return for their kindness towards the Colored people they are threatened with death by one of the race. Shame. If the man recovers he will be prosecuted and I shall prevail upon the judge to give him the maximum penalty. Father Cyprian, St. Monica Church. Laden ing Co.

EDITORIALS. Victory. Every right cause eventually triumphs. Thanks to the noble hearted men and women, white and colored in this city, the Hospital Campaign has been won. Look at the $1.00 list in the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Campaign. Look, just look. Among the men lost on the Destroyer, Jacob Jones, was Wallace Simpson, who enlisted in the Navy about ten years ago. Whenever history is to be made for the United States, a Negro is always there. Those who fail to hear Dr. T. H. Wiseman, the most eloquent young minister of the great Southwest next Sunday morning at Allen Chapel, will miss a rare treat. He is not only an eloquent preached but one of the race's sweetest singers. Hear him. There are the names of a number of people in the one dollar pledge column of the W.-P. Hospital Campaign Fund that will cause astonishment to all who read them because they hold responsible positions and people less fortunate than they are giving ten times as much. Read the list and judge whether they deserve the race's support in anything. The Executions for the Houston Riot It was a fearful penalty the Negro troops paid for their complicity in the Houston riot last August. After due trial before the court-martial, thirteen Negroes were put to death by hanging last Tuesday morning and forty-one were sentenced to life imprisonment. The conscience of the people of the country will approve of this penalty, notwithstanding the fact that the rioters had been driven to a frenzy not only by indignities done them in the city of Houston, but by the report during the day that one of their number had been killed by the Houston police, this last being the spark that lit the explosives. It was necessary to exact the severest penalty. But this Houston riot is not the only race riot that has stained our honor and claims our attention as a people. Just a trifle over one month earlier, on the eve of the Fourth of July, human fiends in the city of East St. Louis burned to death scores of living and innocent men, women and children. Gentlemanly Negroes coming into East St. Louis on the interurban cars were torn from the cars and murdered. Soldiers filed through curtained windows and killed women in their humble homes. These seems to be one difference. The soldiers who shot into Houston were Negroes; the soldiers who shot into East St. Louis—troops of Illinois—were white, and their victims were "only niggers." There is one very strange phase of this matter. The President of the United States has never—we quote as authority the New York Evening Post—given one word or one sign to the people of this country on the horror of East St. Louis, which rivaled the atrocities of the "Huns," and by which more than two hundred human beings of darker skin were massacred. Does not this distinction justify certain inferences that are very humiliating in the presence of our boast about going to war in behalf ow democracy, that is to say, in behalf of downtradden peoples? Justice should not lift the bandages before her eyes to see what is the color of a criminal before rendering her verdict. As it is, Houston and East St. Louis stand out in glaring contrast—Central Advocate Wishing One and All A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR EUGENE EDWARD VAUGHAN, Real Estate and Insurance Brokerage Manager Quinoleum Manufacturing Co.

Two other species, though rare, are in cultivation: f. crassifolia and f. hind-sil. Sometimes Best to Forget There are deeds that are unpardonable; people who merit neither excuse nor good will, nor forbearance. Is this sufficient reason for remembering them for ever? Let the injury fall to the ground, and do not stop to recover it—Charles Wagner. Manuscripts That Last In ancient times the Hindoo priests of Java wrote on leaves of the lontar palm. Lontar palm leaves, after being soaked in water two weeks, then carefully dried, may be used as parchment. Insects will not eat them, and they will not decay for centuries. But She Is Curious If folks think she is hurt because she was not invited to Mrs. Oldfriend's party they are mistaken. But she would like to know why she wasn't invited.—Claude Callan in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Homely Hint The air of a cellar or any dark storeroom can be kept sweet by hanging lumps of charcoal there in net bags. Every few weeks the charcoal should be taken out, made very hot and returned to the bags. Too Big a Risk The one thing that the intrepid and usually venturesome Lloyds will not guarantee is the keeping of a New Year's resolution.—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Plenty of It. From a boy's essay: "Pain tells us that all is not right where the pain is. There are many kinds of pain, enough for everyone to have some."—Boston Transcript. Saving Illustrated "This thing can't go on!" exclaimed the shoe clerk, vainly trying to get a number two shoe on a number four foot. Moderation One out of every three human beings it is stated, dies from diseases to be escaped by self-control and moderatt precaution. Giving Aid to Destiny. We give the name of destiny to all that limits us. Let us do our utmost that destiny become not too circum-scribed.—Maurice Maeterlinck. Justice and Decency.

He has to consider them as well as himself. He has to check his impetuosity, curb his imperiousness, listen to objections and suggestions—provided he wishes to round out his career successfully. He must be content to give and take, to be indifferent to cross-currents, to know and feel at all times that however important he may be he is one among others of power, of ability, of humors. —Boersianer. Only a Diamond. Columbus people stopped in amazement when they saw an unusual window display at a jewelry store of this city. In the center of the window, in a plush case, was a large diamond. On one side, also in a plush case, was a piece of genuine soft coal and on the other side, mounted in silk and plush, was a genuine egg. "This is a mere diamond," said a card over the precious stone in the center.—Indianapolis News. Armenia. Armenia was the seat of an independent kingdom at different times long before the Christian era, though frequently at war, sometimes under foreign rule and with an unstable government. It was one of the first countries into which Christianity was introduced. There is no record of its frequent and repeated changes of govern ut and rulers. For many years past it has been under Turkish rule. She Kissed the Waiter: Two young women who had the table d'hote habit, sat alone tonight in a red ink establishment in the Forties.

Miss Mariana Winn's old house fronted on Shannon Square. Shannon Square was not large. It was one of those blessed bits of green that offer playgrounds for children, shade on hot days, and sunny benches on the crisp, cool afternoons that come in the late September. There were always plenty of people in Shannon Square, for below it was a poorer section of the city, crowded with children. The children sought the park as ducks seek water, and older people followed—big sisters to look after the children, old men who liked to sit and watch life go past, and sometimes young people who anxiously scanned the "Help Wanted" columns in the papers. Miss Mariana liked to open the long white shutters at her front window and watch the people in the Square. She had no veranda, and the little parks was her front yard. She loved it at all times of the year, but especially in autumn, when the leaves piled up for children to play in and the branches, half unvelled, traced delicate patterns against the sky. In truth Miss Mariana was sometimes a little lonely and she found comfort in the people outside. She used to imagine things about them; make up romantic stories about their apparently sordid lives. Her own life had been so quiet, so remote from romance, that it thrilled her delicately even to think of romantic things, such as love affairs and travel and adventure. Miss Mariana was only twenty-eight, but she had spent her life in a quiet round of duties that was like a still back-water in the city's busy life. Her mother had been an invalid, requiring constant care, and when she did Mariana was thin and a bit faded, with a spare figure and plain coiffure that were far from gillish. Yet there was a look of innocent youth in her eyes, shy, and a bit wistful. There was no one to notice it, however, and she continued to live alone in the old house, watching the people in the park and filling her days with dreams. There was one young man in particular who sat in the Square very often. He brought a little boy with him—a fine, sturdy child of about four, who romped on the patch of lawn with the other children. The young man himself always seemed to be busy. He would write steadily for several hours at a time, only looking up now and then to call the child, or going after him if play became too rough. Sometimes the little boy would come and climb upon the bench with his father, snuggling a curly head against his shoulder. And the young man would pat the child and go on working, now and then looking down to smile at his little son. They seemed to be good pals. Mariana tried vainly to imagine what the young man might be doing. Also, she wondered where the mother was and why there was no one one else to care for the boy. She often hoped that the young father, who must be a widower, would notice some of the pretty girls who sat in the park. It was a shame for such a pleasant man to look so lonely. But he never did notice any of the girls. After all, he looked quite like a gentleman, and they were not his kind of girls. He was probably an author; she had heard that they were usually poor. "I wonder that child doesn't get into mischief," thought Miss Mariana. "I guess it's a good thing I'm sitting here wrapped up in that book, or whatever it is he's writing." And then as the young man looked up, gazing abstractly, apparently toward the window where she sat, Mariana leaned forward eagerly to notice his fine, clean profile. Her eyes were bright with an innocent interest. It never occurred to her that he might be looking at her—nobody had ever cared much about looking at her, even when she was very young. Unconscious of his gaze, she sat there, rocking gently, between her long white shutters, the very picture of homely pence and quiet. After that the author's eyes strayed often from his work, as though he must seek inspiration in the walls of a red-brick cottage or the long white shutters at its windows. The day after this the young man did not come into the park at all. Mariana, having finished her simple household tasks, took her place at the accustomed window, eager for a sight of the life that moved about outside. If she was eager for the sight of one particular person she did not know it herself. Her heart was unused to even the first throb of that emotion called love. Love as she had read about it was a thrilling thing, that came upon one suddenly, usually in some picturesque environment, and she had never imagined that it could steal over any woman like a gentle warning tide of happiness. However, she was happy; there was a shine in her eyes and a budding smile upon her lips. Although she did not know it, Mariana Winn was looking younger than usual. But as the afternoon went on the smile faded a little. She wanted to see the little boy. She searched eager ly among the throngs of children. Ah, there he was! A stout, rosy-faced young girl had him firmly by the hand. She was leading him toward the bench where the father usually sat. Miss Mariana craned her head to look at the young woman. Somehow she had never supposed the little boy's mother would look like that. He was adorably brown-curled, but she wore flaxen frizzes that looked suspiciously artificial. She was a bit untidy, too, and her soiled white shoes were run down at the heels. A long sigh of disappointment escaped Miss Mariana, and some frail thing of the spirit seemed borne away from her on its faint breath. The shine had left her eyes, but she sat watching. Being comfortable established on the bench, the blonde-haired young woman drew out a novel and began to read. The little boy danced away to play, and the autumn afternoon shadows lengthened visibly. At last it grew very dark and chill at Miss Marlana's window. Suddenly the air was rent by a child's shrill scream—shrill enough to be heard above the sounds of traffic and the noise of children's play. Marlana Winn looked out quickly to see the little boy—his little boy—with blood streaming from a hurt on his forehead. He had fallen perhaps, or—Miss Marlana did not wait for conjectures. She rushed out into the park and gathered the weeping child into her arms, smoothing the dark curls from the cut on his head. It was not a serious injury, but she bore him into the house, followed by a troupe of curious youngsters. She had completely forgotten the blonde-haired young woman, and it was not until she had washed the cut and bound it up, and established Tommy on the sofa with a ginger cooky, that an angry ring at the door proclaimed the fact that the young woman was in search of him. Moreover, she was not alone. The father, white with anxiety, stepped in first. "Where—" he began. Then, seeing Tommy, he hugged the child and turned to Mariana with eager, anxious questions. "He isn't hurt much," she assured him. "Only he was frightened, and there seemed to be no one near—" "Where were you, Theresa?" he asked sharply, turning to the rosy blonde. "I—why I was just over by the gate talking to a fella. I—" "That will do for you, then. I hired you to look after Tommy. If you can't do it better than that you may go." "All right, I'll go then," she retorted pertly. And Miss Mariana's door slammed after her, leaving a strange quiet behind it. The young man sat looking at her with wistful eyes, that made Miss Mariana drop her own, and a warm blush filled her cheeks. He was speaking—something about being very grateful to her for looking after the child, something about being very lonely, and having no one to care for Tommy. Whatever it was he said, it sent strange thrills of ecstasy through Mariana Winn. When she spoke she looked so young and eager one would scarcely have known her. "Bring him here again," she was saying. "I'd love to take care of Tommy sometimes. I've nothing else to do, and I love children. Bring him when ever you like; but please don't leave him to any such nursemaids again. I'd so much rather you'd bring him here." "I will, then," he agreed, "if you really mean it. And I wonder—could I come again some time, too?" "Oh, yes," she nodded lightly. "Of course. Only I don't believe I know your name." "Henry Moore. And you are Miss Winn, I know. I will come again." He said this as if he meant it. And Miss Mariana knew that he meant it. She went about her work singing after they were gone. For deep in her heart she knew. Portable Telephone: "This is only the eleventh time I have been up and down stairs to answer that telephone this morning," sighed a physician's wife. "I should like to sew just one hour in peace." "Why don't you have a portable telephone?" suggested the sympathetic seamstress. "Mrs. X has one, and my! you have no idea the steps it saves her. You know she is quite a club woman, and has so many calls. The arrangement is simply an ordinary desk telephone with a very long cord. When she goes up to the den at the head of the stairs to sew or write, it seems funny enough to see her go telephone in hand. In the kitchen she has it handy on the cabinet, and when resting on the living porch she does not even have to get out of the hammock to answer a telephone call. Your telephone being stationary at the stairway landing, a similar arrangement could be effected." Impertinent. "I wish to report the clerk in your office," said the irate spinster of mature years to the manager of the seaside hotel. "She's most impertinent." "How so, madam?" "I inquired whether my rooms had been reserved, and she called out to the porter, 'Do you think this lady's sweet sixteen?' " And it took the manager a quarter of an hour to convince her that "suite" 16 was meant. Congratulations. "Allow me to congratulate you," said the mild stranger. "What for?" asked the grumpy man. "Oh, anything—nothing—the glorious weather, the green fields, the birds, the fact that you are well and strong. Isn't that something?" "No." "Then congratulate me for not having a disposition like yours." THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 29. 1917 OLD STONINGTON BY THE peaceful waters of Long Island sound, ancient Stonington sits and dreams of the victorious conflicts of the past. The summer visitor is now the only invader and even he is oftentimes conquered by the beauty of sea and shore. If he loves the flavor of antiquity, his fate is sealed and Stonington has added one more to the list of her conquests. What other Connecticut town was ever the scene of an American victory over the British? Stonington twice defeated the naval forces of England; once in 1775 and again in 1814. they felt too poor they petitioned the Hartford for leave this purpose. The general as petition, but it was the lottery was secured. At that arry war had been money was used the village; the been invested was lost by reas depreciation. Captain Palm The conquests of the old town were not, however, limited to battle alone. The sea was hers, traversed as it was by her whaling and sealing ships as well as by her passenger packets. The unknown corners of the earth acknowledged her supremacy, for a Stonington captain was the first to see the Fanning islands, and Capt. Nathaniel Palmer discovered the Antarctic continent. In the world of art, James MacNeill Whistler was a pioneer spirit, and Whistler lived at two periods of his life in Stonington. After the long stories of conquests, beginning with the Indian and ending with the summer visitor, Stonington now enjoys the fruits of victory. In peace she sits under her ancient elms, while the harbor waters lap her shores and surge beneath the ruined wharves. It is recorded that Rufus Choate once said of Stonington that it was the only place he had ever seen that was entirely finished. Spirit of Its Early Settlers. The spirit that moved Stonington to defy the British on the 20th of August, 1775, more than ten months before the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was indigenous to the community. In fact, the earliest settlers of the region, in 1658, published their own Declaration of Independence. After Massachusetts and Connecticut had united to overthrow the Pequot Indians, each colony claimed the con- WAMPO WAMPORSETT INN House of Capt. Nathaniel Parker. quered territory, which extended from the Thames river to Connecticut to Weekapaug in Rhode Island. The settlers of Stonington (then called Mystic and Pawcatuck) applied to the general court at Hartford to be set off as a separate town, but the opposition of New London led to the refusal of the application. In 1657 the petitioners sent an urgent message to Massachusetts, which colony had a claim to the area in dispute, but Massachusetts likewise refused the request of the little settlement in the wilds. Whereupon a miniature republic was evolved under the name of "The Association of Pouquatuck People." In the same year, however, the commissioners appointed to settle the dispute between Massachusetts and Connecticut returned their decision. They divided the conquered territory equally, with the Mystic river as the boundary line. Thus the little settlement of "Mystic and Pawcatuck" was not left alone "to defend the peace of the place." Lottery for a Church. These settlers on the borders of the wilderness had for the most part sprung from the better classes; indeed, a large part of them could trace their descent through a line of knights and gentlemen. Yet in this new country they were proud to become good farmers, blacksmiths, shoemakers or weavers. In 1774 the residents of that part of Stonington borough known as Long Point (now Stonington village) were in dire need of a church edifice. As they felt too poor to build a new one they petitioned the general assembly at Hartford for leave to hold a lottery for this purpose. The general assembly granted their petition, but it was not until 1777 that the lottery was drawn and the funds secured. At that time the Revolutionary war had begun and most of the money was used for the defense of the village; the remainder, which had been invested in continental bills, was lost by reason of their complete depreciation. Captain Palmer and His House Capt. Nathaniel Palmer, when only a boy of twenty-one, became master of the sloop Hero and sailed on a sealing voyage to the South Shetland islands. Whaling and sealing ventures brought wealth to Stonington shipowners and captains, but this voyage of Captain Palmer resulted in a "find" more valuable than any cargo, however rich. The "find" was the Antarctic continent. The Hero was one of a squadron of vessels that reached Yankee Harbor, Deception island, during the season of 1820-21. It was from that place that the lookout, on an unusually clear day discovered a volcano in action. Captain Palmer was dispatched in the Hero, a sloop of only 45 tons' burden, to examine the mountain and the region in which it was situated. The boy sailed safely across the uncharted sea and found an unknown continent. The home of the discoverer of the Antarctic continent still stands in Stonington and is now the Wamposset inn. Like its old owner, it has withstood the buffetings of the sea. In a great September gale which swept the coast a century ago, this house was lifted from its foundations by the force of the waves and dropped into the cellar. As there were no jack screws in those days, the building was gradually brought back into place by wedges. Stonington "before the war" was a Newport where it is said the Wada- POSSETT BIN wanuck sometimes registered 100 new guests in a day. People like the Van Alens, the Whistlers, the Duc de Chosseul and Col Vose who were known on two continents, chose to sojourn for the summer by the peaceful waters of Stonington harbor. The old lighthouse which stands at the tip of Long Point and looks out over Little Narragansett bay is nowadays only a monument to the past prosperity of the port. For years it watched over a multitude of successful ships as they came and went, until at last they sailed away never to return. Now it is itself discarded; like the old 18-pounders on the Green, that once roared their defiance to the British, the lighthouse is but a reminder of the conquests of Stonington. "I thought you said your cook was a jewel beyond price." "So I did." "But she's gone." "Yes. One of the neighbors discovered that she had a price." Mr. B. (during the quarrel)—Well, if you want to know it, I married you for your money. Mrs. B.—I wish I could tell as easily what I married you for. Great Expectations. He—Do you think your father will put down anything when I tell him we are to be married? She—I know he will, dearest; his foot. Lured Away. Her Last Word. BRINGS OUT LATENT TRAITS War Develops Hidden Qualifications of Many Young Heroes Now in Government's Service. "It takes all sorts of things to bring out latent traits in us all." The speaker in the club car rolled his cigar to the other corner of his mouth. The other occupants sat silently, surmising that a story is coming, recounts a writer in an exchange. "Knew a young fellow over East. Father had lots of money. Son did not seem inclined to add a great deal to it by working, but made several dents in the family purse by his spending. Not that he was a bad boy at heart—only thoughtless. Sometimes I think the rich father was attempting to make a business man out of a man never intended for that sort of life. The boy did not seem to be able to find his niche. Said to me one day when he had gotten confidential: 'You know, my only fear is that I am not going to make something out of myself that will make dad proud of me.' And the two surely did love each other. One day the boy asked the father for several thousand dollars. It was forthcoming. Then he asked the father to cash a check for some money left him by his dead mother. He got that. Then the boy sort of dropped out of New York life. "Next thing I knew he was a lieutenant in the aviation section of the army. He had bought two airplanes, taken them down into the country to one of his father's farms and learned to fly. Guess those that knew him thought it was another of his money-burning ways. But when he thought himself competent he went to the government and simply said: 'Here I am, ready for any service you may have for me,' and the government took him up in a hurry. He may be in France. But you should have seen that father's face light up every time he mentioned that boy. And when he does get back from France he and his father are going to be greater pals than ever, if that be possible. "Now I am not going to say that many young men are going to have about $20,000 at their beck and call to demonstrate that it only needs the occasion to make men out of them, but I do say that there are scores of young men doing just as much or more." Switzerland Like United States. Switzerland Like United States. Switzerland is the only European example of a federative and democratic republic of the American type, observes a writer. Switzerland, as the United States, was born from a desire for emancipation from autocratic despotism; like the United States, Switzerland never believed in the divine right of kings. The very past which the ancient federates, on that quiet spot, the "Rutil," on the classic Lake of Lucerne on August 1, 1291, swore to, embodies that great principle for which now, 626 years later, the United States is fighting, namely, to quote President Wilson's own words, "For the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments." There the old Swiss proclaimed self-government against the autocratic rule of the Hapsburg, in the following words: "We ordain and direct with unanimous accord, that in the above-mentioned valleys we shall recognize no judge who shall have bought his rights with money or in any other manner, or who shall not be a native and an inhabitant of these districts." Futile Disputes. In stating prudential rules for our government in society, I must not omit the important one of never entering into dispute or argument with another. I never saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument. I have seen many, on their getting warm, becoming rude and shooting one another. Conviction is the effect of our own dispassionate reasoning, either in solitude or weighing within ourselves, dispassionately, what we hear from others, standing uncommitted in argument ourselves. It was one of the rules which, above all others, made Doctor Franklin the most amiable of men in society, "never to contradict anybody." If he was urged to announce an opinion, he did it rather by asking questions, as if for information, or by suggesting doubts—Thomas Jefferson. German Schooling. German schooling has proved antagonistic to co-operation, although demanding unity of action through mass obedience, Winthrop Talbot writes in the Century. It has failed to foster real co-operation, for co-operation is a method by which persons of their own volition and by no compulsion may work together harmoniously. Only when training and schooling are the common privilege of all is that state of civic development possible which permits society to become co-operative in its action. In other words, a socialized society becomes more possible only as all individual members acquire each the widest vision, and thus the power to co-operate harmoniously. Pay of Our Marine Chaps. The pay of officers and crews of vessels in the American merchant marine is as follows: Captain, $250 a month; chief officer, $140; second officer, $130; third officer, $120; chief engineer, $190; first assistant engineer, $140; second assistant engineer, $130; third, assistant engineer, $130; carpenters, $75; boatswain, $70; oller, $60; coal passers, $50. In addition to the regular wages the officers and men now receive bounces, which materially increase their earnings. FOR THE SOLDIERS Button and Sewing Bag Suggested as Suitable Gift. Monograms or Initials May Be Embroidered on Outside of Needle Case if Desired. A button and sewing bag has been suggested as a very suitable gift for the soldier boys in France or in the home-training camps. The directions for making such a bag are given as follows: Use khaki cloth or brown ribbon one-half yard long, and as wide as a spool of linen thread (first hemming or binding the edges on the length). Make a loop of ribbon, leaving unhemmed edges at top. Place spool in loop and sew across at top (or cross stitch or binding could be used), thread pulling out at one side. Next place paper of needles above spool and sew at top, leaving it loose buttons and thimble needles thread Button and Sewing Bag. enough for the needle ease to be slipped in and out easily. Sew up both side edges above to form a button bag, turn down hem at top and run in red, white and blue ribbon, leaving long loops to hang up by or to roll up and tie. Monograms or initials may be embroidered on outside of needle case before the bag is finished. Round pinballs may be made to fit each end of spool, filled with pins; a hole bored in center of each and loops or bows of ribbon attached, letting the ribbon go through spool and fastening tightly to hold pinballs in place. Also a row of safety pins could be inserted just as the needles were, but extra length must be added before you start to work. These are very pretty made of fancy ribbon, using French knots or cross-stitching, bows, etc. FRESH AIR GOOD EOR FACE Idea That Skin Should Be Protected by Thick Vells in Winter Is Declared Mistaken One. It is a mistaken idea that bundling up to the eyes and covering the face with thick vells protects the skin in the winter, says a writer in Farm and Fireside. The more the face is exposed to the fresh air the better it will be for the complexion, and there is nothing more invigorating and beneficial than a brisk walk during a snow flurry. Never carry an umbrella when it is snowing. The best kind of water to wash your face in is soft rain water, and as snow is only frozen water, there is surely no reason why it should be inlurious to the skin. Do not wash your face before going out into the open air, but if cleansing is necessary, apply cold cream and rub it well into the pores, afterward wiping the face well with a soft towel. Cleanse the face with cold cream and a good massage cream at least once a week, and apply a lotion to the face, hands and lips every night before retiring. The lips are more susceptible to cold and chap more easily than any other part of the face. SIZES OF HOUSEHOLD LINENS Cut and Dried Rules Exist for Guidance of Housewife Who Makes Own Sheets and Pillow Cases. Many women make their own household linens, especially bed linens, preferring to buy their material by the yard and seam it up into bed size. Better material can thus be afforded for the same outlay of money. There are some things which the housewife who makes her own sheets and pillow cases ought to know. First, that a sheet should be 30 inches wider than the mattress and from 20 to 30 inches longer. This allow, for a comfortable tucking in all around. Sheet hems should be 3 inches wide at the top and 1 at the bottom. Pillow cases are one yard long and $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches wider than the pillow. Hems of pillow cases should be 2 to $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches deep. Central seams in a pillow case should be finished with a flat hem on the right side. This kind of a hem not only looks better, but wears and irons better than a French seam. Table linen has a more or less cut and dried rule for aze, too. A cloth should hang not more than 18 inches at the sides. Dinner-size napkins run about 27 by 27 inches. Breakfast or informal meals require a 22-inch cloth, and luncheon napkins vary from 12 to 15 inches square. In towels a certain amount of labor is saved if a scale of sizes is followed. Thus for guest towels it is well to know that the standard size is about 15 or 16 by 24 inches; face towels, 22 or 24 by 40 inches; bath towels (Turkish), 22 or 24 by 24 inches. MATERIALS FOR THE WRAP Self-Brocades in Soft Satin or in Satin and Velvet Preferred by Some to Gorgeous Metallics. For those who do not care for the gorgeous metallics and the luminous velvents there are self-brocades in soft satin or in satin and velvet, which are decidedly worth while for the wrap. In some instances these come in dull gray, which combines beautifully with chinchilla or with better grades of squirrel. And right here it is worth noting that Austrian opossum is back and is being used allike for evening and day coats. Kolinsky is another fur to which the Paris and American designers have been partial in its association with rich wraps. Ermine, of course, is considered the fur par excellence for evening wear. It is wonderfully alluring when associated with the beautiful velvets or with dark brocades. It does not seem to be as effective when it is used to trim the metallic garments, perhaps because the latter need a dark fur to bring out their special beauty. GOOD YEAR FOR MADE-OVERS Economy the Watchword In Providing Clothing for Grown-Ups as Well as for the Children. Dresses made entirely of velvet or velveteen are considered very smart for girls of all ages, from the very little girl of five or six years to the twelve-year-old, but when other materials than velveteen or velvet are selected, it is usually noted that either two colors or two materials are combined. Plain serge may be combined with plaid, velvet or velveteen may be combined with serge or wool jersey or with taffeta, etc. This state of affairs as regards styles serves the same excellent purpose in dressing the younger members of the family as in outfitting the grownups. That is, economy may be served without appearance suffering, as last-season garments may be brought attractively up-to-date at slight additional expense. ATTRACTIVE DANCE FROCK UNDERWOOD E UNDERWOOD C This charming dress is made of white georgette with a broad sash of silver tissue, and drapery of white silver lace. The frock is made for the fanciful bud, who knows just what she wants, when she sees it. Youth Has Charm. The smartest women are today dressing in the simplest fashion. This is not only on account of the war, but it is also because the women of this country are coming to realize that clothes must express personality, and they do not wish to be classed as women who are loud in their tastes and given to magnificence of dress on the street, says a fashion writer. The girl who keeps herself young as long as she can, who is dainty about her person and wears simple things, will find that her charm will be much greater than that of the girl who starts in at an early age to copy some actress or other woman of mature years, who would give all of her aids to beauty for just one-half of a young girl's charm. The Useful Tunic The tunic is to make an important feature in the winter's fashions, and women who have last seasons' gowns that they would like to remake will be glad of this. Very often a wide skirt can be cut off to make a successful tunic and worn owed a narrower skirt of contrasting material. A variety of tunic designs are offered. Plain Sleeves. Sleeves, this season, are long. A good many of them fit close enough to outline the arm, and there is an attempt being made to introduce a little fullness into the top of the sleeve, something on the order of the leg o' mutton. And it looks as though the attempt might be welcomed. America ts going to save thousands of French and Belgian women and children from death by starvation or freezing this winter, but every American must lend a hand to the work— * than the cabled dispatches which wé fre accustomed to read under the fugue date line, “Somewhere tn France.” Many of these narratives have been brought by men and women who, under the aus- pices of the American Red Cross, have been inves- tigating conditions created by the invasion of the Hun, The range of vision of these investigators extends from the battle front to the cottage hun- dreds of miles away where war's misery-—more in- sidlous than bombs on the fighting front—has pene trated, Woven together these accounts make a composite story of devastation and suffering on the part of noncombatants comparable with the torture en- dured ty the soldiers in the trenches; of refugees staring blankly at cratered areas where villages once flourished; of thousands of children, too young to understand, crying for mothers who can- not hear their cries; of children poisoned by gas bombs thrown from German mortars; of emaciated children sent by hundreds from behind the German line; of crippled soldiers to re-educate and of civilian men and women to comfort and provide with the necessaries of life—a story of battling against disease and of the heroism of mercy. Sometimes the cable supplements tales told by returned travelers. A day or two ago, the war council of the American Red Cross received a eable- grain from the Paris headquarters of that organiza- tion containing a simple statement of every-day oceurrence on the French frontier, yet graphic in its portrayal of one phase of war's frightfulness, It read: The Red Cross at Evian. “There arrived last/week at Evian, where the repatries from France and Belgium are received buck into France, a train loaded with Belgian ehil- dren. There were 680 of them, thin, sickly, alone, all between ages of four and twelve, children of men who refused to work for the Germans and of mothers who let their children go rather than let them starve. They poured off the train, little ones clinging to the oldest ones, girls all crying, boys trying to cheer, ‘They had come all the long way alone, On the platform were the Red Cross work- ers to meet them, doctors and nurses with ambu- lances for the little slek ones were waiting out- side the station. ‘The children poured out of the station, marched along the street shouting. “Meat, meat; we are going to have meat,” to the Casino, where they were given a square meal, the first in many months. Again and again, while they ate, they broke spontaneously Into songs in French against the German songs which they had evidently learned In secret. The Red Cross doctor examined them, Their little clawltke hands were significant of thelr undernourished bodies, but the doctor said: “We have them In time, A few weeks of proper feeding and they will pull up.” Evian 1s a French resort on Lake Geneva, and every day one thousand homeless people arrive there, 60 per cent of whom are children, Thirty per cent of the older people die the first month from exhaustion, They were once the occupants of happy homes in northern France. The Huns invaded their country, swept on past thelr homes and left them behind the enemy's line. ‘The invaders, now their masters, impressed them Into labor and transported thousands of them to work In German fields and factories. ‘Those who are returned by the thousand daily by train through Switzerland are all that are left of these men and women and children—manhood and womanhood sapped until the vital spark is almost out and, no longer of use as German captives, sent back to die or to be cared for in thelr helpless condition by thelr own people from whom they had been ruthlessly taken away In thelr health and strength. Hope for Kaiser's Victims. Thanks to the American Red cross, coming to the assistance of the overburdened French agen- cies for mercy, there is hope for these unfortun- ates, Besides a hospital and convalescent home for children at Evian, the Red Cross ts operating an uinbulance service for the returning repatries. Ten automobiles are in commission for handling sick and infirm persons, and a tuberculosis hos- pital near by is planned. When the returning re- patries reach the railroad station and have been cheeringly greeted by crowds of compatriots, they fare taken In charge by Red Cross workers, Nour- ishment ‘Is provided and medical attention be- stowed. Buths are inade available and fresh cloth- ing Is supplied, According to American eye wit- nesses of scenes at the railway station at Evian, there are men In the ranks who have suffered broken arms, the bones of which have been set by the Germans so that the hand ts turned the wrong way. They present a horrible deformity, denoting « form of cruelty which excuses Itself on the ground that the man, should he ever regain his former strength, will be unfit for milltary duty. In many of these cases American Red Cross doc- tors have been put to the doubly painful task of again breaking the arm and resetting It, so as to remove the terrible deformity purposely in- flicted, William Allen White of Kansas and Henry J. Al- den, who 1s prominent in the public life of the game state, are among the Red Cross workers who recently have returned from tours of Inspec- tlou in France, According to their statements it 1s scarcely , possible to exaggerate the suffering brought upon the civilian population of the coun- try; a suffering, however, thit 1s being alleviated to the greatest possible extent by the American TL’ Cross, which ts sending Its experts, Its army ot volunteers and {ts treasure without stint, Ac- «ol ding to Mr, White, the real work of the war, so 4a1 us America ts concerned, will be carried on by the Wed Cross in France this winter, Not only + aS Ge 2. gm Wee 9 CO oe oo rma 4 Dp Pak See he OP keg XY!

In furtherance of this great scheme, designed to bring comfort and cheer in the family of every French soldier that 1s needy, General Pershing, General Petain, commander in chief of the French forces, and Maj. Gen, M. P, Murphy, American Red Cross commissioner, have formed themselves into a committee of co-operation. Company officers will go through their ranks and ascertain from each Soldier whether he has any worry on his mind concerning sickness or want at home. Reports will be made to headquarters weekly and not a single case will be overlooked In the relief work thut Is to be guided by the addresses of families listed. Special attention will be given to the treat. ment and prevention of tuberculosis, which has as- sumed proportions almost as deadly as the infernal machitiery of war itself. Food and clothing will be supplied when necessary and the spirit und courage of the previously depressed soldier in the trenches will be enlivened by the news that his family is having its wants attended to, “The great struggle of the winter will be the economic struggle,” said Mr. White. “The Red Cross practically will fight the American fight un- Ul our boys take their places on the firing line next spring. It should be kept in mind that every French soldier who is saved this winter means the ABomb Raid by Shell-Light The picture of a night attack executed by the English on a German trench in France is drawn in the Cornhill Magazine by Boyd Cable: “The hour chosen for the raid was Just about dusk, ‘There was no extra-special preparation immediately before it. The guns continued to pour in their fire, speeding {t up a little, perhaps, but no more than they hud done a score of times in the last 24 hours. ‘The infantry clambered out of their trench and tiled out through the narrow openings in their own wire entanglements, “Out in front a faint whistle cut across the roar of fire. “They're off,’ said the forward officer into his ‘phone, and a moment later a distinct change in the note of sound of the overhead shells told that the fire had lifted, that the shells were pass- ing higher above his head, to fall farther back in the enemy trenches and leave clear the stretch into which the infantry would soon be pushing, “For a minute or two there was no change in the sound of battle. The thunder of the guns continued stendily, a burst of rifle or machine gun fire crackled as spasmodically, “Men gulped in their throats or drew long breaths of apprehension that this was the begin- ning of discovery of their presence in the open, the first of the storm they knew would quickly follow. But there were no more shells for the moment, and the rattle of machine gun fire di- minished and the bullets piped thinner and more distant as the gun muzzle swept around. ‘The ing fantry hurried on, thankful for every yard made in safety. “But at the attacking point the infantry were almost across when the storm burst, and the shells for the most part struck down harmlessly behind them. The men were into the fragments of broken wire, and the shattered parapet loomed up under thelr hands a minute after the first shell burst. Up to this they had advanced in silence, but now they gave tongue and with wild yells leaped at the low parapet, scrambled over and down Into the trench, Behind them a few forms twisted and sprawled on the broken ground, but they were no sooner down than running stretcher bearers pounced on them, Mfted and bore them back to the shelter of their own lines, “In the German trench the raiders worked and fought at desperate speed, but smoothly and on what was clearly a settled and rehearsed plan. ‘There were few Germans to be seen, and most of these crouched dazed and helpless, with hands over their heads. They were promptly seized, bundled over the parapet, and told by word oF gesture to be off. They waited for no second bid- ding, but ran with heads stooped and hands above their heads straight to the British tne, one or two men doubling after them as guards, Some of the prisoners were struck down by thelr own guns’ shelifire, and these were just as promptly grabbed by the stretcher bearers and hurried in under cover, THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1917. ee os Ba AY ee re, rs he ee AN AL Cg Bart) j VX oS KS ey =, > NI Met 2 ON saving of an American boy when the big drive begins a few months hence.” L. D, Wishard of California, a schoolmate of President Wilson, well known for his interest in Y, M. ©, A, work as well as that of the Ameri- can Red Cross, Is another re- cently returned observer from France, He brought a doubly Interesting story. First, the awfulness of many conditions existing; and, secondly, the great work the Red Cross Is doing and the much greater work it is preparing to do to meet all the conditions scien- tifically and energetically. Mr. Wishard expressed the TOE ey Oe ee ee ane the Importance of giving primary attention to the economic side of the equation during the winter months, He quoted General Pershing as saying that the greatest thing that the Red Cross cun do at present to insure victory is to stand by the fam- ilies of French soldiers. Gas Bombs Poison Soil. An interesting fact dwelt upon by Mr, Wishard during a visit to Washington was that of the pois- oning of the soil in agricultural fegions by the gases spread over the country by the Germans, It is stated that this gas has worked it##nsidious way deep into the ground, so that unless heroic means are discovered and applied it will be years and years before the land is fit for cultivation of any sort. The devastation, he says, Is beyond anything in the history of the world, with shel! craters so thick that plowing of once fertile fields is abso- lutely impossible, Yet in this hopelessly devasta- ted region the Red Cross has set to work to repair some villages and to restore certain agricultural communities, not alone for the humanity directly involved with respect to the people who will thus have shelter and means to go to work, but as an example to the thousands of others and an inspi- ration to them to start in and begin life anew. The hopelessness of it all might seem complete from a single instance ¢eited by Mr. Wishard—that of a mun who had owned a mill in a village near Ver- dun, who told him that when he went.to look for the spot on which it stood he had to take a survey- or along to locate it. It {s into the hopelessness of hundreds of situa: tlons akin to this that the American Red Cross is advancing with {ts banner of mercy and its bugle blast of inspiration. ‘So help the Red Cross! “Up and down the selected area of front line trench the ralders spread rapidly, ‘There were several dugouts under the parapet, and from some of them gray-conted figures crawled with thelr hands up on the first summons to surrender. Yhese, too, were bundled over the parapet. If a shot came from the black mouth of the dugout 1n answer to the call to surrender, {t was prompt- ly bombed, At elther end of the area of front line marked out as the limits of the raid strong parties made a block and beat off the feeble at- tacks that were made on them.” NEW WRITING IMPLEMENT. A writing Implement composed of a mixture of wax and finely ground pumice stone contain- ing particles of ink has been invented by William ©, Geer of Akron, O., to take the place of ordinary and fountain pens, pencils, crayons and all other writing Implements, says the Popular Science Monthly, As the body of the new writing device 1s composed of a mixture of wax and pumice stone, which ts easily worn away when rubbed against a paper surface, the inventor claims that the cells of ink intermixed with the wax and pum- ice stone will also,be liberated, giving a uniform supply of ink, ‘The device is made by mixing the wax, pumice stone and ink together. When tt 1s heated to the proper temperature it 1s suddenly {mmersed in cold water, ‘This chills and solidifies the wax mixture, producing a body having a cellular strue- ture, each cell being filled with ink.

His quips were known everywhere, Now, however, since he has gained considerable vogue, he ts taking himself and his work very seriously. Owen Johnson, the novelist, saw him th a res- taurant the other night, sitting solemnly alone. “Too bad,” he sald, real pity and tenderness in his voice, “Poor Arthur! He has severed his Jocular vein.” ‘ HIS POINT OF VIEW. “Mike, didn't you tell me once you have a brother who ts a bishop?” asked the contractor, “Yes, sor, I did that." “And here you are a hod carrier, Well, things of this Ife are not equally divided, are they, Mike?” “No, sor,” replied the Irishman, shouldering his hod and starting up the Indder; “indade they 1s not.

Like Moses on Mount Nebo, let us glance over the whole period of the monarchy and note the progress and development of the Jewish people. The Jewish race is the marvel of all times, a nation without a country, scattered and peeled, chastised and driven from sea to sea, even slain in large num- bers; yet possessed of a vitality which has caused them to endure through the centuries, Their contribution to the civilization of the world has been immeasurable, ‘There 1s no walk or rank In life, in polities, literature, art, scence, business, religion, or any oth- er realm where they haye not made their impress and rendered their con- tribution, Any movement which seeks to promote their welfare and to strengthen the bonds of sympathy which preserve race feelings, deserves the aid of all patriotic, liberty loving, God fearing people, for the Jews are still God’s chosen heritage. The united kingdom with its three Kings, Saul, David and Solomon, last- ed from about 1100 B. C. to 83 (Mee cher), a period of 120 years. ‘Then be- gins the divided kingdom—Judah and Israel side by side, a double experl- ment in the progress of the kingdom of God. ‘This period extended from about 982 B, C, to approximately 723, or 721 B, ©. Judah had a territory of about 9,400 square miles; Israel 9.400, Ju- dah’s capital was Jerusaleti ; in which | was the temple; Israel's capital was | Samaria, while it had two centers of false worship. Judah was more shel- tered than: Israel from close contact with heathenism, especially politically and religiously, Judah had one dyn- asty of rulers; eleven kings and one queen, all of them from the house of | David, Israel had nineteen kings, be- longing to nine different families or dynasties, Judah had several very good kings, and there were marked re- vivals of religion of prosperity and of deterioration of varying degrees, though resisted from time to time and helped along moral and religious lines through the work of Elijah and Elisha the prophets. The final period of events of this past quarter have refer- ence to Judah alone from the days of Hezekiah, B,C. 722, to the time of the destruction of the city and the temple being destroyed 586 B, C,, and Instly we have the period of the exile from | the first captivity in 605 B. ©. to the restoration and the new temple being erected 516 B.C, This was a period of great discipline and sifting as like ‘unto wheat or of a purifying fire, ‘The return from exile and the new spiritual nation, dates from about 538 to the close of Bible history, say 400 years before the coming of Christ. A map should be used, and the scholars ought to be familiar with the contem- poraneous secular history, ‘There are several particular lessons we ought to learn from this history. First: Every failure, every moral wrong, every fall into idolatry, every diminution of power for good fs the result of a separation from God.—a departure from the ways of God and righteousness. It also shows us that God's constant solicitude that the Jews should be kept separate from heathen: ism and fdolatry, had in it the best Interests of his own people and could only lead to those blessings which he had prepared for his particular people. Secondly: ‘The overthrow of Israel Is directly attributed to its complete abandonment to idolatry, Beginning with false worship and a dependence ‘upon men, there was the introduction of idolatry and a development of evil which led to a rapid decline, the in: troduction of revolutions and the final extinguishment of the kingdom. ‘As to Judah, {t finally was brought into captivity because that was the only way that God could purge the na- tion from the sin of Idolatry, ‘They must be taught that there is but one God, that the word of God must be obeyed, and that thelr safety lay in the faith which they placed in his promises, The leaders of this period were Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah, herole men, men of great consecration and power; also, Esther, the heroine, ‘The prophets of this period are Dan- fel, Isaiah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Notice how each and every one aided the cause of righteousness, ‘There are two great heroes of the return, Ezra and Nehemiah, Take up the actions of each and show how he proved his heroism, A good method of recelving the past quarter will be Yo summarize the teachings which cen- ‘ter about these two grent men, ‘The period of the return Is the one that What: Well Dressed » (omer ul Wear Ay ES.

People are flocking South in winter like the birds, Railroads have annihi- lated distance so that the Journey be- tween Innds of snow and lands of sun 4s measured by a few hours. ‘The won- der is that anyone who ean possibly help it endures the sting of Northern winters for months and months, espe- cially as the genial South has many al- lurements besides {ts climate. Among them are the smart clothes that the fair Southern tourist Indulges in. ‘This business of furnishing apparel for winter tourists’ wear has become an important factor in establishing fashions and all womanhood 1s inter- ested In the parade of styles at Palm Beach, Coronada and other centers where people of wealth assemble. The | best things that money can buy are seen in these places and they tone up the dress of women all over the land. For instance, the hat and bag to match shown in the picture above is one of many beautiful matched sets ‘made in anticipation of the demand for smart and novel dress accessories which comes Into a rush Just about Christmas time or immediately after the holidays. Of course milady of fashion 1s accompanied everywhere by her knitting bag, and she may have several of these indispensables made to wear with several hats. This set “will be Just as appropriate in the North ‘as in the South, ‘The small hat 1s of ‘black taffeta and is a simple affair, | oy i A. a Pr J BEST-LIKED STYLES IN FURS. shirred over cords. It is faced with a color and bound about the edge with gold braid. The small blossoms applied to It are made of ribbon and are lovely examples of millinery art, ‘The bag, in the shape of an old-fash- toned basket, 1s made in the same way abd its lning matches that of the hat. Its handles are of the gold braid lined with silk and it 1s flower-trimmed Mke the hat with ribbon flowers. The shape is a happy thought of the de- signer giving a quaint flavor of old times to a most up-to-date accessory. Next to the natural shape of the fox pelt, with head, tail and legs, square capes and straight, wide scarfs of medium length, are the best-liked styles In fur neck-pleces, ‘This is only a general and rather vague description of the great variety of fashionable nock-pieces that smart women find In- dispensable in all climates, ‘They are as much liked to throw about the shoulders at indoor affairs, after coats have been taken off, as for outdoor wear, One of the cleverest new scarfs is made of Hudson seal, and ts about a yard and a half long and In the neigh- borhood of fifteen inches wide. At each end of the scarf there is a small pocket, hardly discernable, but quite equal to keeping the hands warm. Along the edge of the searf, on one side, there Is a band of martin for, four inches wide. It is only half as one as the scarf and therefore does not reach to the ends on either side. ‘It protects the back of the neck and proves a becoming addition to this nov- el neck-piece. Another novelty in the same combl- nation Is a short sleeveless mantle of sealskin with a wide shawl collar of martin, The mantle is merely a square eape at the back and front, joined at the shoulders, In the group of neck-pleces showm above, it will be noticed that short tails of fur, along with legs and claws, have returned to favor as a finish; also that neck-pieces are scarfs that look like capes, or capes that look ike. scurfs, lending themselves to a casual adjustment that 1s considered yery chic. ‘The square cape of kolinsky at the left has a narrow flat collar of the same fur, The scarf at the center is of Hudson seal with fot collar, At the right a longer flat scarf is shown, and this {s developed in fox fur. It is liked for all the rarer furs as well as sable, mink, martin, Ermine is at ite best In small scarfs and collars or as trimming on other flat furs, OUR BIG SPECIAL SALE on all kinds of Men's House Slippers, from 75 cents up to $5.00.

Good Weather Finds Hospital Workers Busy. Determination and Enthusiasm Brings Campaign Goal Nearer—Tag Day Today. The close of the third week of the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Campaign for $25,000 to pay for, remodel and equip the new building purchased by the Association at 1826 Forest avenue finds the half way post between the beginning and goal passed. Nothing has been able to lessen the enthusiasm of the workers. Cold weather, sloppy weather make no difference. Everyone works regardless of the weather and each day finds volunteers coming to head quarters offering their services to go out and secure subscriptions. The enthusiasm is not confined to the workers alone but has reached out and taken hold on the public. So great is the desire to help that every day persons who have not been reached by the volunteer force of solicitors $5,000—A large corporation (Congitional) Cash on hand 4244.100. Percentage from Tag Day collection, $1,512.00. This represents the sum of money raised in the campaign three years ago when an effort was made to secure funds for a new hospital. A good many knockers and evil minded people tried to give the impression that this money had been squandered but it remained intact in the hands of the treasurer until a few days age when a thousand dollars was paid as the first payment on this splendid property we are seeking to acquire. $1,000—Mr. William Volker $1,000—Mr. Charles W.
