We Imploringly Ask Your Help!—It is a Step Toward a Greater Manhood—The Birth of An- The Colored voter of the Tenth Ward will have a chance to show their loyalty to their race this Spring, a treat that all of us cannot have. How often have you had the privilege of voting for a member of the race? Do you think that a white man, no matter of what political party, can truly and honestly represent a race who he considers inferior without forcing them to take the place of inferiority in the community? I think not. To get justice we must be represented by a sympathetic race man; such a man is Mr. Winston Holmes. The ballot is the surest weapon with which any citizen, regardless of color or economic condition, can protect his interests. For the race to just vote and never to get a chance to hold an elective office is to only exercise a partial right of suffrage. No class can be MR. WINSTON HOLMES. trusted to care for the rights of another at the ballot box and no class that is without rights in the making or executing of law can be expected to have any great interest in or to show any marked devotion to the government under which they live. Another word to the Tenth ward voters. The entire country has their eyes on you; your loyalty or disloyalty will be a subject of praise or severe criticism; think seriously, and do your duty for the race. You will be told, no doubt, that your vote will be thrown away voting for Mr. Holmes; "he can't win" will be hurled at you from every side. Remember there is a principal involved; to vote for a true race man is victory itself; to elect our candidate will only be a greater one—you can't lose. Watch for us January 20th; we shall visit every Colored voter in the Tenth ward with a petition for you to sign; we shall ask you to subscribe for the Sun also. You should keep in touch with this movement and the only way to do so is to read the Sun, the only race paper in the city. It justly deserves our support. THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF COLORED WORKERS.

In the French army today there are two Colored generals, four colonels, and one hundred and fifty captains, and lieutenants too numerous to mention. This is a much better showing than is made by the United States, which country has not even an officer as high as a colonel in the regular army, although the United States' population numbers more than ten millions of black folks. There is absolutely no color line over here in dear old France. Here merit alone limits a man's possibilities and opportunities. OLD CITY HOSPITAL IS HIGHLY PRAISED BY COUNCIL COMMITTEE. A great many complaints have been filed recently against the conduct and treatment of the City Hospital, but the Sun and the race are pleased to know that the Old City Hospital, devoted exclusively to Negroes and under the management of the veteran Dr. T. C. Unthank came in for nothing but words of praise at the hands of the committee. Of the white hospital it said: Of the white hospital it said: We find the kitchen range has burned out, the warming tables virtually useless, a lack of equipment in each of the kitchens, and each of them untidy, with dirty dishes and pans and returned food standing about and the kitchens unsanitary and unhealthy. We found mattresses unsanitary, pillows in many cases filthy by reason of having been used without pillow slips and the Tubercular ward we found in a most deplorable condition. The Old City Hospital. Conditions at the Old City Hospital, where Negroes are cared for, was found very satisfactory, the report said. "We found things there clean, tidy, and orderly, although they are short of equipment, but cleanliness and sanitation were found, despite the fact that they are handicapped by an old rundown building." The Sun congratulates Dr. and Mrs. Unthank, Superintendent and Matron, as well as their entire force of assistants and employees for the splendid condition in which they keep their department, fully realizing that it reflects credit upon the entire race to have our representatives in public positions measure up to the fullest possibilities of that position, however exacting conditions may be. The Sun again says: Hats off to Dr. and Mrs. Unthank. PROF. W. H. HARRISON, A. M., the brilliant and capable principal of Attucks School, 19th and Woodland avenue, this city, a graduate of Lincoln Institute, an orator of acknowledged ability, a firm believer in 'his people, and man of undoubted courage, wisdom and intellectuality.. Under his capable leadership the Colored citizens of 'his home town, Independence, Mo., raised nearly $300 for the Wheatley-Provident Hospital in the recent campaign. Prof. Harrison and that leader of men, Principal J. R. E. Lee, of Lincoln High School, are unquestionably a distinct and valuable asset to the Negro population of this great city. And The Sun predicts for him greater honors and responsibilities in this great common wealth. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1918. WHEN THE WAR WILL END.

He is the father and founder of the hospital movement in this city, having established long before the Wheatley-Provident Hospital came into existence the famous "Perry Sanitarium," which began in a modest little cottage of seven rooms, equipped and maintained from his personal funds. Dr. Perry has ever been in the front ranks in all movements for civic and racial uplift in this community and has been a potent factor in winning for the Negro medical fraternity in the great Southwest that secure and dignified position which it now commands.

Three of the local clubs of Colored women: "Lyceum Art, Woman's League and Sorosis Clubs, generously responded with ninety-nine heavy bathrobe flannel neck-scarfs for the soldiers at Camp Dodge, Ia. In response to a plea made by Mrs. Leanna McCampbell, chairman of the Red Cross workers among Colored women of this city, several women not connected with any club also helped to do their bit. Mrs. McCampbell received a letter from Colonel Charles F. Bates, 1st Colored 566th Infantry, of Fort Dodge, stating that such agility to the Colored soldiers would be very beneficial to the men and much appreciated by them. The scarfs were sent away last Saturday and Mrs. McCampbell is very much elated over the ```markdown ``` GOLDEN WEDDING CELEBRATED. One of the rare celebrations witnessed was that of the fiftieth or gold wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Isaacs, Sr., of Fayette, Mo., now residing with their daughter, Mrs. J. L. Tutt, 1311 Euclid avenue, this city. They were married in Fayette, Mo., in 1868, and were the parents of nine children, seven of whom are now living, and attended this golden anniversary last Wednesday, January 9. The seven grandchildren were also present. Mr. and Mrs. Isaacs are members of the St. Paul M. E. Church at Fayette, Mo. Mr. Isaacs is 77 years of age and Mrs. Isaacs is 70 years of age and are both in very good health. They were the recipients of quite a number of parents appropriate for the occasion, including $50 in gold from their children, $30 in gold from friends, many other coins, a small check and several pieces of silverware inlaid with gold.

M. H. LAMBRIGHT. who was one of the most active and enthusiastic workers in the recent hospital campaign and who solicited more individual subscriptions than any other person in the city. Dr. Lambright never faltered, never doubted, but always insisted that the fund could be raised, and predicted that before the close of 1918 Kansas City would have one of the greatest Negro hospitals in America. The race needs more men like Middleton H. Lambright, men with energy, courage and a purpose, and nothing that the race undertakes with such men in the lead will fall. Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Crews entertained at 6 o'clock dinner last Sunday in honor of Mrs. Grace Thomas Martin of Jersey City, N. J., and Mr. Charles D. Frazier of Grand Canyon, Ariz.

FOOD EXHIBIT AND FINE PROGRAM TO FEATURE TUSKEGEE CONFERENCE. Tuskegee, Ala.—"Meeting the Needs of the War Situation" will be the topic for discussion at the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference which convenes at Tuskegee Institute, Wednesday and Thursday, January 16th and 17th, 1918. In the first day's session, emphasis will be given to the problems of food and farming which have become especially important and urgent since this country has entered the war. The Annual Workers' Conference will be held on Thursday, January 17, and the special topics which will be considered are: "What Is Being Done in Spite of the War Conditions to Increase the Facilities for Rural Education"; "What the Schools for Higher and Secondary Education Are Doing to Help Improve the Rural Schools," and "What Is Being Done by the Rural Schools to Help Improve the Rural Community Life," along such lines as helping to promote better farming, improve the home, help the church, conserve health and direct the social life of the community. This session of "workers" will bring together teachers, ministers, and others who are engaged in some form of definite work for the improvement of the masses of the Negro people. A number of state superintendents of education, and other persons prominent in the educational work for the Colored people have been invited to appear on the program. The acceptances already received, and the general interest manifested in the subjects for discussion indicate that the Twenty-seventh Annual Conference will be largely attended, and very successful meetings held.

START HENNERY AND MAKE MONEY Method by Which It Is Shown, the Egg Problem May Be Large- ly Solved. UTILIZE WASTE OF KITCHEN Ten Fowls in a Small Yard Will Be a Paying Proposition—Need Not Be- come a Nuisance to the Neighbors. Every family which has even a small back yard can go far toward supplying itself with eggs and producing some poultry which will lessen its draft on the nation’s meat supply. Even in a small back yard, with the aid of a few hens, much of the kitchen garbage can be manufactured into food Instead of being wasted at a time when there must be no waste of anything that can be made edible. Keeping chickens even on a small scale can be made a pleasant, worthwhile recreation, par- ticularly Interesting to a child old enough to assume responsibility. This article ts the first of a serles of simple, practical Instructions on keeping poultry on a small scale. ‘The series is designed primarily to help beginners start their flocks, but should convey valuable information to those who have had experience or who keep poultry on a suburban or larger scale. The facts are those gathered by the government's poultry specialists on the department agricultural’s poultry farm at Beltsville, Md,, and from the thou- sands of private poultry yards which they have visited and studied. ‘These specialists will be glad to send bulle- tins or furnish advice to those Inter: ested In producing more eggs ana chicken meat during the emergency. Should | Keep Hens in My Back Yard? Keeping small flocks of hens in a village or city back yard has proved successful, It is an {important branch of the poultry industry, Though the value of the product from each flock 1s small In itself, the aggregate Is large. ‘The product of such a flock both in the form of eggs, and fowls for the table, may be made at a relatively low cost because of the possibility of utilizing table scraps and kitchen waste which would otherwise be thrown away. A small flock of hens, even as few as six or elght, ‘should produce eggs enough, where used economically, for a family of four or five persons throughout the entire year, except during the molting period and fall and early winter. By preserving surplus eggs produced dur- ing spring and early summer this pe- riod of scarcity can be provided for. Keeping pullets instead of hens also will insure production of eggs at this time, Not only will the eggs from the home flock materially reduce the cost of living, but their superior freshness and quailty are in themselves well worth the effort expended. The need for an extension of poultry raising ts particularly great in those sections where the consumption of poultry prod- ucts exceeds the production, with the result that prices are high, An Odorless, Crowless Flock. Objection frequently is raised to the keeping of poultry in towns and cities because of the odor which may result and algo because of the nolse made by roosters crowing, particularly early in the morning. In some cities regula- tions have beén formulated to prevent or control poultry keeping. Where there are such regulations It will be necessary for the beginner to find out their provisions and to conform to them. ‘The poultry flock need not: be- come a nuisance to the neighbors. If the dropping boards are cleaned daily and if the houses and yards are kept ‘na reasonably clean condition there will be no annoying odors, ‘The male bird need not be a nuis- ance, Unless {t 1s intended to hatch chickens from the flock, It ts unneces- sary to keep a male bird. The fact that there 1s no male, in the flock will have absolutely no effect upon the number of eggs laid by the hens, Those who wish to produce eggs for hatehing should get rid of the roosters when the hatching season ends. This is desirable not only to eliminate the nolse of the rooster, but also to save the ised that would be eaten by the male, and for the further reason that the eggs produced after the male Is disposed of will be infertile, Since these eggs are Incapable of chick de- velopment, they can be kept much bet- ter than fertile eggs and consequently are superior for keeping, putting up in water glass, or marketing, ‘The flock, of course, must be kept confined; otherwise the hens will stray into neighbors’ yards and gardens, where they may cause damage, and almost certainly Ul-feeling. ‘The next article will deal with the kind of chick. ens to keep, the size of the flock, and how to procure stock, Sannintinn Gna’ Miaralan. The practice it Is found that If a hen gets about half of the daily ration with little effort, she will be well fed and at the same time take exercise enough to keep herain good physical condition. As a rule, the mash—whether moist or dry—constitutes from one-third to siadait of the ration, ‘This, being fed In troughs or hoppers, the hens get without exercise. In eating the grain fed in litter fowls at first get it with little effort. As the supply diminishes they must scratch more and more to find what remains, Under this condition It ts necessary to feed grain more Uberally in deep litter than in shallow litter; other- wise the supply would run so low at times that the hens would have hard work to get it as fast as they should. The feeder is guided as to the quantity of grain to give by observing how the hens eat the mash, and by occastonally examining the floor to see whether grain is accumulating in the litter. Do you want to “do something” for the food supply—meat and eggs—even if only in a small way? Keep some hens. Not a new idea, of course, but until now it never was quite so neces- sary or mandatory to grasp every food- making opportunity. Try it in the back yard, beginning wisely in a small scale—say ten hens. How about a New Year's resolve on this? Let the table scraps help make eggs and meat. In every household, no matter how economical the housewife, there is a certain amount of table scraps and kitchen waste which has feeding value but which, if not fed, finds its way into the garbage pail. ‘The saving medium: Seme hens. Poultry 1s the only class of domestic ‘animal which is suitable for converting the kitchen waste, right where It ts produced In the city, into wholesome and nutritious food in the form of eggs ‘and poultry meat. Here are some safe figures about what can be expected of a back yard flock, Each hen in her pullet year should produce ten dozen eggs. The average size of the gack yard flock should be at least ten hens, Thus each flock would produce in a year 100 dozen of eggs which, at the conserva- tive value of 25 cents a dozen, would be worth $25, But the 100 dozen Is more important than the §25. By keeping a back yard poultry flock the family would not only help 4n reducing living costs but would have eggs of a quality and freshness which are often difficult to obtain, "Remember that eggs produced by the back. yard flock cost very little, as the fowls are fed largely upon waste ma- terials. Byen as few hens as six or elght should produce eggs enough, where used economically, for a family of four or five persons throughout-the entire year, except during the molting perlod of the fall and early witter, and TSS TP Eas 9 HAGTON a een pene ie ea | mM bean eh MU FY Nh ¢ ‘pea ALLL ee ma 4 ws SeenON Tcl Une Cupid Kept Busy During Week-Ends at the Capital W ‘your uentauariong? ‘tne aiticaal catia on eattotey ne Guneny ta foe HEC GAL Lig TOV Lace cles Gt es on Gane oe Washington's social week-ends brilliant. Social leaders have plunged into the effort to make the life of America’s soldiers a happy one, Dances, teas, recep- Uons and dinners abound over the week-ends for the soldiers and their sweet- hearts. And here and there among the many sweethearts are “the dearest sweet- hearts.” Little gray-haired mothers come to see their boys—perhaps for the last time before they “go over there.” In the midst of hurried war preparations and the mobilizing of men for battle, Washington seems to be a continual semblance of strife. But the week- ends bring relief with the sweethearts and lovers. One forgets the horrors of war and sees only the happiness of love. Fine work, Mister Dan Cupid; keep it up! Flock to See Prominent Men and Their Wives Force the “Diamond Horseshoe,” for it has been eclipsed by the brilliancy of Washington's concert audiences. There was a time when just plain ordinary women gasped at the mention of the “Diamond Horseshoe.” It meant wherever the afternoon's concert may be. Down out of the carriages step some of the world’s famous people. Even New York's brilliancy has been dimmed by the war, for many New York women are here now, giving their services to their country. Women, of course, give the real brilliancy to these concerts, but then there are the men, too. Straight-backed men in milltary uniform, erect naval offi- cers, and here and there some gayly clad allied soldier of France, Italy or England, add to the brilliancy of the occasion. Washington, despite the fact that it is the center of America and has for many years had famous men in \ts midst, is not entirely immune to curiosity. And then the big men of the Washington of today are of a different type. The man who gained prominence through politics has passed from the center of the state. He has been sup- planted by the man who has made a name for himself in business, These men are a curiosity to Washingtonians and then everybody wants to see what their wives look like, Where Royalty Rubs Shoulders With Democracy | eorogeae and democracy mix in Washington today just as though there was not a world war going on to make democracy supreme.

Fred Coon is a four-square, courageous, up- standing American who has the cour- age of his convictions, the confidence of the common people and will run like h—— if nominated to this office. Death has certainly reaped a rich harvest among the old and well known citizens of this town this winter. More than a dozen of the best known men and women of this city have passed out in the past sixty days, and it really seems that all records are to be brok. en in the number of deaths among Colored people in this city this year. Several complaints have been seut to The Sun office regarding the al. leged negligence or discourtesy of the Allen Chapel choir at a number of funerals held fecently in that historic ebureh. It is alleged that both or- ganist and singers have invariably left the choir loft before the services were completed, placing both the min- ister and congregation in an embar- rassing position and bringing unneces- sary pain and humiliation to the fam- ily of the deceased. The Sun knows that Prof. Jackson has duties in con- nection with Western University each Sunday afternoon that cannot be nes- lected and that often choir members are compelled to go from early Sun- day morning until oftimes late as 5:00 o'clock in the afternoon without meals or refreshments, and as they give their services free, they do not feel that they should be crticised for leay- ing, But nevertheless, the Sun is of the opinion that to obviate these em- barrassing situations in the future, ar- Tangements should be made for a special organist and a corp of singers 80 that no member of Allen Chapel, distinguished or lowly; rich or poor; high or low; shall be denied the com. mon rights that faithfulness, loyalty and devotion to Church entitle them to. This not only applies.to Allen Chapel, but to every other church that fails to do its full duty in these last hours of sorrow to its fallen mem- bers, ie Chicago, Il. Dear Editor:— I was much impressed by the ar- ticle which appeared in your paper December 29 “How the South Goes to War.”. I wish every Christian and well thinking man, white or Colored, in the United States could read it and also that every Colored paper this side of the Mason-Dixon line would print the same article on the front page of their paper so the world could read the truth, May the Lord bless you, LOUIS WIMBERLY, 2946 State St. Prof. H. 0. Cook, Vice Principal of the Lincoln High School, delivered an address by request at the Forum of the Westminster Congregational Church last week. The subject, “The Negro's Contribution to American Civilization,” was a live wire and stimulated an animated discussion by Dr. Turk, the pastor, Mr, Nat Spen- cer, Ex-Mayor Beardsley and others, ‘The address furnished an interesting fund of information on the achieve- ‘ments of the race in this country and also locally.

KANSAS CITY, KAS Hon, Nelson C. Crews, 1803 East 18th Street, Kansas City, Mo, Dear Sir and Brother: | This is a tremendously busy place, It has been below zero almost ever since I have been here. ‘The post has been besieged with a twenty mile storm, with snow to help out, ‘There is a splendfd spirit of fellow. ship here between the white and col- ‘ored officers. No matter where the white soldier or officer meets you they render the military salute un- hesitatingly. All the men of the com- mand haye excellent health, One interested in his work and anx- fous to learn cannot but find this work very pleasing and interesting. The men are all easy to handle and will- ing to learn, ‘The Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M, and the Grand Chapter, O. E. 8,, were ‘all yery thoughtful of me Christmas Long live the grand old orders for the cheer they are bringing to the mex and officers with the colors.

Of the nearly three hundred first lieu tenants of the 924 Division, 1 am the third ranking officer.

Iam yours truly, JOHN R. FAIRLEY, ist Lieut, 265th Inf, Camp Grant, Ii FUNERAL OF E.L. WARD. One of the most impressive funerals. in recent years was that of the late E. L. Ward, for many years.an officer in Allen Chapel and for more than, twenty-five years a trusted employe of the First National Bank, Midnight | services over his remains were held last Saturday night by the Scottish Rite Masons at the Masonic Temple, while the funeral services proper were held at 2:30 from Allen Chapel. Music was furnished by Allen's full choir, of which his wife is a faithful member, while one of the most im- pressive and fitting sermons Dr. ‘Thomas has ever delivered was given over his remains. Graham Lodge and Emanuel Commandery had charge of the ritualistic services, while one of the features of the service was the following tribute read by Mr. C. H. Cheney, auditor of the First National Bank, of which more than twenty-five of its officers and employes accompa- nied by their wives attended the ser- vices. Dedicated to the Memory of ELBERT L. WARD By the Officers and Employes of the | First National Bank. To live a clean and wholesome life, to be possessed of those virtues which endear one to his friends and asso- ciates, and to make the burden of life lighter for others, is accomplishing the aim and purpose of all good men. To live such a life, it is not necessary that one should be called upon to fill exalted stations, or that his name should be widely known, for, oftimes in.the humbler walks of life there ap pears a man who is endowed by na ture with all of these sterling quali ties, which endear him to all with whom he is associated. Such a man was Elbert L, Ward— a faithful, pleasant and honorable gen- tleman. ‘For over 25 years he ha: been associated with the First National Bank, where he was called upon tc perform duties which are only dele gated to those whose honor and in tegrity have been proven, In all tha time there has never been attached to his name the faintest suspicion o dishonor, but instead, there has grown a feeling of confidence and trust ‘which, added to his courteous an¢ ‘kindly nature, makes his loss most keenly felt by all with whom, he cam & contact, and today we mingle ou: sorrow with his family and othe ‘trlends, sincerely mourning his death ‘While his skin was black, there wa beneath that dark exterior a hear [that beat as true and faithtul us 4 the breast of any man, What mor could be desired?

President Wilson is undoubtedly the greatest phrase-maker who ever occupied the White House. His rhetoric is elaborate and impressive. His address before Congress last April, asking that the United States declare war on Germany, must ever remain as an English elastic. His lofty declaration that the United States must make the world safe for democracy was wonderfully heartening to all oppressed groups. There are ten million citizens of this country who were not only impressed, but literally stood amazed. The spectacle of the United States fighting for democracy is well capable of arresting the attention and of creating astonishment and interest. Thereby hangs a tale. Now comes one Theodore Roosevelt, perhaps the world's greatest publicist, who says that the President has betrayed democracy by not living up to the masterful phraseology of last April. Thereby hangs another tale, Mr. Roosevelt's arraignment is based on the fact that the President has as yet offered no constructive program looking toward the political enfranchisement of certain oppressed European groups. Those groups are of two types: (1) Those who have a country and government of their own, and are under the domination, surveillance and control of the Great Powers; (2) those who constitute the minority among the heterogeneous populations of the greater states. Those groups are subject to the will and caprices of the majority. Mr. Roosevelt feels that if the war does not result in the complete freedom of those groups, it will have been fought in vain. He also feels that failure to recognize and announce the achieving of their freedom as one of the objects of the war amounts to a betrayal of democracy. Perhaps this is true. In the United States there are ten million men, women and children in the same position as the second type of group mentioned above. Their racial identity makes them an homogeneous group, and being vastly in the minority, they are subject to the will and caprice of the majority. The majority has never hesitated to impose its will upon them, and in ways which a real democracy would never tolerate. Those ten millions have never had the pleasure of experiencing the fruits of democracy, having always been given to understand that they lie outside the pail of democratic rights and privileges. Nevertheless they are loyal and patriotic and have already sent nearly one hundred thousand of their sons to help fight the fight of democracy. They are not criticising the President at all, for they believe that the President means what he says; and that making the world safe for democracy does not mean democracy only for some men, but for ALL men. We believe also that Mr. Roosevelt will soon turn his attention to this phase of international ethics, as he is certainly as interested in citizens of the United States as he is groups beyond the Atlantic ocean. No one knows better than Mr. Roosevelt that no nation can seriously claim to be warring for democracy whilst maintaining a system of racial caste within its own boundaries. The hypocryt of that position will, no doubt, strike a man of Mr. Roosevelt's temperament with force, and we may expect soon to hear him speak out. We believe also that the President of the United States will at the proper time give us an earnest of the profound sincerity of the remarks uttered by him last April, and will in some conspicuous manner silence for all time the criticism of certain German newspapers to the effect that America's treatment of her Negro population shows her insincerity in reference to democracy. In short real democracy is about to begin in the United States. JUSTICE By Chas. A. Starks. We have waited a number of days and read all we could of the various comments upon a recent execution that took place in Texas. The White dailies used their space in backing up and glorifying the Supreme Martial edict. A few of the Northern ones pointed out the severity of said punishment but also cautioned us against losing the intended wholesome lesson. Southern comment breathed with the expected glee that goes with morbid satisfaction. Whereas, the Negro Press has been noticeably silent. Even that paper which industriously boasts as being the "World's Greatest Weekly" contented itself with giving over its news and editorial functions to the Associated Press dope. This is singular in a paper that really and truly approaches our ideal of a great fighting, constructive policy for the Race. And so the Negro constituent, looking with woe-smitten eyes for some place to lay his head, wanders up and down the columns of his own papers looking for the soothing and comforting word in vain. All admit that this is no time for rabid expression upon tender subjects. Still we are Americans; we are answering to the call of the emergencies of War. This being true it is only natural that we display every now and then a little temper and concern about our own. It takes this to be an American, and we are Americans. We have a soul, even "The Soul of Black Folk." You ask me how that soul feels under these strained circumstances. I know but I won't tell, I'm afraid! Yes, you are no braver than I. Why don't you tell? You know. It takes courage as well as patience "To be a Negro in a day like this." Courage to acknowledge that you are a Negro with a heart and a soul! Justice! We are not complaining about not getting it. Oh, no, we are rather getting too much of it. We want our White Brother to share this good thing with us and we are therefore, willing that he get a little justice himself. Yes, give him a little, he deserves it very much. Up there in East St. Louis after burning our men, women and children, investigation and trials develops the fact that out of about twenty convictions for rioting over thirteen or more are Negroes. It is just as though you are punished for the insolence of not being lynched. If (Justice) overlooks you at the Burning party it will pay its respect to you through the fine machinery of political intrigue and juggling of the law. But at Houston it was different. It was not the Negro who was offered upon the unfortunate altar of wrath, but punishment came swift and firm to the perpetrators, making us to believe that in view of its usually slow working processes, Justice really has a turn to swing curiously now and then, where the objectives are Black. But the Negro accepts as Good as possible the inevitable Judgment, but may be pardoned if he fails to acquiesce in any claims of its infallibility at this time. We may affirm that whatsoever is just or unjust, or the things that hurt us, we may with sincerity say that there is still among us no Anarchists, no Dynamiters, no Pro-Germans, no Food poisoners, no persons practicing espionage for the Enemy; in fact, the cause of World Democracy is just as safe with us as it is with any other American Group, and sometimes the safest. This, in spite of the oppressive measures directed against us as if calculated to alienate the affection and loyalty of this people. Our sensitivity to wrong is less expressed in active resentment than any other class. This being true, then surely we may sorrow over events, that affect us so vitally in heart and soul. Surely we may shed a tear without involving ourselves in "Lese Majeste." Surely we may call in Our Neighbors and mingle our sorrows with one an another without the fear of being hung or shot, and like the Child who receives a whipping and is forbidden to cry; surely this will not be visited upon us. This would be the "unkindest cut of all." This Government, in its new spirit of Democracy cannot ask more than intelligent allegiance to its Constitution on the part of its citizens and it ceases to be a Democracy if it demands slavish acquiescence to the possible bad working of any of its functional machinery. Negroes are waking to the probability that after all this so-called New Democracy may bring him a remedy for certain ills. This hope, however distant, will give a certain stimulation to his efforts in War. The thought will at least aid him in holding on to his patience. Finally the Negro has a compact with Heaven never to relinquish his fight for Truth and Right. That, though he uses this patience under trial and oppression, he will never fail to look up; to look above everything that evil. Mortal men may do to him and at the same time actually fight for that which is his Divine Right, namely, Liberty and Freedom at Home! Liberty, to be a Man with a Heart for the Good things of Life and Freedom for the soul that aspires to the best. This is the Truth. You know it, Mr. Reader, as well as I. OUR GRUESOME CUSTOMS. By Joe E. Herriford Most people agree that the customs which we continue at funerals are little short of shoulf and that certain reforms in these ceremonies are long past due. Yet it seems that no great number of our people have had the moral courage to take a stand strong enough to accomplish any tangible changes. Other races, except those uncivilized, have long ago abandoned the gruesome burial rites which we still cling to even in the face of our better intelligence. In the first place, we refuse to give up the notion that all funerals should be held on Sunday, even if the body of the dead must be kept unburied several days for this purpose. This is only the catering to a vain desire for show and for the attendance of as many curious, disinterested persons as possible. Our funerals are all too long, especially in the cases of persons in any way prominent in social or professional life. Bereaved relatives of the dead are put through the terrible ordeal of sitting sometimes for nearly a whole day in uncomfortable, illly ventilated churches while countless eulogies of doubtful sincerity are being poured out by apparently everyone whom the deceased ever met. Common sense strongly appeals against this sort of indulgence, but it is kept up just the same, supposedly with the idea that it measures the popularity of the dead. No one can explain just why our people believe that the spirit of the dead cannot repose in peace if the body is honored in a place open to the outdoor air. Suffice it that from the time breath leaves the tortured clay it is kept either closely shut up in a small room of a home or in the sacred precincts of a church into which no fresh air is allowed to enter. The embalmed body is kept in an embalmed atmosphere filled with embalmed germs of all sorts of diseases ostensibly to hurry up other funerals. The practice of opening the casket at the close of the services in order that the morbidly inclined may pass in review over the pallid features of the dead has long fallen into disuse by every body except the Colored people. No one will dispute that it is unsanitary and unholy. Ie serves no aim whatever that has the slightest claim upon a reverent treatment of the dead. Those who have any distinctreason for desiring to view the face of the dead could much better indicate the element of respect by calling at the residence of the family prior to the hour of the public funeral. There ought to be a law carrying the death penalty for those who insist upon lifting the suffering mourners up to take what they call "a last view" of the deceased and to display their soul's deepest anguish in the presence of many who happen to be present out of a curious desert for this very heartrending climax. Nothing could be more inhuman and more lacking in good, common sense. There is no more reason why the family should be the last to view the body than that they should bt the first to meet the departed spirit in the other world. If certain secret societies insist upon holding ritualistic ceremonies over the dead at the unholy hour of midnight the attendance of the family should by no means be allowed and no place should be arranged for this display of physical endurance and dispair from those already bowed Commencing Our Annual Sale of Silks Beginning Monday, January 14 The Greatest Silk Event of the Year Silks of Unquestioned Values and Styles Particularly Tempting Emery, Bird, Thayer Co.

POMILIO HEY were just airplanes two years ago, but the demands of war have stimulated the evolution of aircraft so intensively that in the last few months at least three different species of airplanes have been developed, and these are as distinct from each other as condors, pigeons and swallows. T The monoplane has gone the way of the high-wheeled bicycle; it is seen no more in the air. And instead of just airplanes, we have bombing machines, reconnaissance machines and battleplanes, each a specialized type designed for a specific duty. Then, in a class by themselves, there are the hydroplanes, writes Arthur Benington in the New York World. Bombing machines are the heavy artillery, the condors, the Percherons, the buildogs of the air. Reconnaissance machines are the intelligence service, the carrier pigeons, the hunters, the pointers, of the air. Battleplanes, which combine the duties of light cavalry and machine-gun squads, are the swallows, the thoroughbreds, the terriers, the wasps, of the air. "You might as well ask me what kind of horse I consider the finest," replied an Italian aviator when asked for his opinion on the finest airplane. "It all depends upon what service you want your plane for. For dropping bombs on cities there is nothing like our own Caproni; the finest climbers I personally have encountered were German machines; the swiftest flyer up to date is the Italian S. V. A.; and I think the Austrians have the most reliable hydroplanes." Of course this was merely the aviator's personal opinion, and it is given here not at all because of its value as a judgment on the several makes of machines, but merely to illustrate the diversity of type and the wisdom of not confusing the different types in one's mind. For a bombing machine the primary requirement is ability to carry a heavy load. Then, In order of importance, come: Medium speed (80 to 100 miles an hour); climbing power (13,000 feet); defensive armament and a radius of action from 60 to 100 miles. Load-carrying power involves strength of construction, great stability, and engines that shall develop tremendous power and yet be as light as possible. Types of the bombing machine are the Italian Caproni, the British Handley-Palmer, and the German Gotha G III and Friederichshafen G. H. The reconnaissance machine must have room for at least two persons—the pilot and the observer; installation for wireless apparatus and cameras for taking both still and moving pictures; fuel capacity sufficient for three or four hours of flight; fairly high speed—say from 115 to 120 miles an hour—and ability to carry a machine gun with which to defend itself if attacked. The camera installation makes great stability necessary. Types of this machine are the Italian Pomilio S. V. A, and Savola-Pomilio; the French Volshn, and the German Brandenburg, Albatross C III and Avlatiks C III. Speed and climbing power are the essentials in a battleplane. The latest types of this sort—the Italian S. V. A. and a new model of Pomillo; the French Nieuport and Spad, and the German Albatross D I and Albatross Bue—can carry only one man, who acts as pilot, observer and gunner. Most of them haye only one gun, which is not mounted on a swivel, but is an integral part of the engine itself, for, as it discharges its bullets between the blades of a propeller revolving so rapidly that it cannot be seen, it must be perfectly synchronized with the motor, otherwise a bullet might strike a blade of the propeller. These machines are nothing but flying cannon. They carry no passenger, no cameras, no bombs, nothing except a single operator and the ammunition for the gun. The difference between reconnaissance and battleplanes appear slight when set down in figures, but then every fraction of an inch affects the speed and stability of an airplane. Some idea of the differences may be obtained from the dimensions, and these can be given only approximately except in one or two cases. It is, of course, impossible to describe our own American planes, so the comparisons that follow are based on foreign machines. One of the smallest of the battleplanes is a new Pomilio which has not yet been tested in America. American representatives of the Ansaldo company of Genon, which makes the S. V. A.—another very small one—decline to make its dimensions public at present, but Capt. Alessandro Pomilio, designer of the machines that bear his name, has no objection to it being stated that the Pomilio which flew from Fortress Monroe to Mineola and which soared over New York on Liberty Loan day, has a wing spread of approximately 38 feet. This, however, is a reconnaissance machine. The one that is coming is a battleplane and its wings have a spread of only a fraction over 30 feet. Both these Pomilio machines have exactly the same motor, a 200-horse-power IsettaFraschini, but the greater size of the one already here enables it to carry a passenger and cameras, while the smaller one can carry only one man. The reconnaissance Pomilio makes 120 miles an hour; a scout is said to have made on tests in Italy 160 miles an hour. So Jar as official tests are known, the S. V. A. holds the record for speed. This is the machine that made the sensational flight from Turin to Rome, 396 miles, in two hours and fifty minutes, averaging 130.8 miles an hour. The French Nieuport machines are unofficially reported to have made as high as 175 miles an hour. The dimensions of the German Albatross D I are known exactly, having been published by the French military authorities after measurement of captured machines. Its wings have a spread of 20.7 feet; its fuselage is 23.6 feet long; its speed is 124 miles an hour and it can climb to 18,150 feet. It carries two rapid-fire guns, discharging through NEW AIRPLANES DEVELOPED BY WAR CAPRONI ALBATROS GOTHA S.V.A. the propeller, and 100 cartridges for each gun. the propeller, and 100 cartridges for each gun. Returning now to the bombing machines, the types best known are the German Gotha, which is virtually a copy of the British Handley-Palmer, and the Italian Caproni. The dimensions of the latter cannot be given, for the machines are in several sizes, the smaller being biplanes, the largest being a triplane. Those of the Gotha G III are known. It is a biplane with a wing spread of 77.7 feet, and fuselage 40.38 feet long; it can go 96.8 miles an hour, ascend 14,850 feet and carry a load of 1,320 pounds of bombs besides at least two men. It was necessary to put three planes on the larger Caproni, in order to carry the immense weight at high speed. It has three fuselages, each with its own motor, the one in the middle being much shorter than the others. The right and left fuselages have propellers in front, the middle fuselage has a propeller behind. The motors are 240-horse-power Isotta-Fraschini. The Caproni are slow machines—only about 90 miles an hour—and is capable of fighting single-handed against the little wasps of the air. They are unique in that any one of their motors suffices to propel the machine; therefore, all three must be stopped by bullets before it is disabled. In this last respect its only rival is—so far as known at present writing—the great German Gotha, which has two motors, either of which will propel it. One of the most striking facts about the evolution of air craft since the war began is that the monoplane has virtually disappeared. Quite early in the war the French Nieuport grew an extra pair of wings. The principal reason why two pairs are better than one is that lifting power in the air depends upon the area of the wings. Now the Gotha's two pairs of wings are 77.7 feet long and 7.326 feet wide, which gives an area of 569 square feet for each pair, or 1,138 square feet as the total wing surface. If this were all in a single plane, the wing would have to be about 153 feet long if they had the same breadth as now; and the leverage of the wind on their ends would be so great that the machine would be absolutely unmanageable. For this same reason the biggest of the Capronl, which is by far the largest thing in the air, has three planes instead of two. The Gotha is, however, more than a 'bombing machine; it is a veritable aerial battleship. Over its bow on a swivel is a machine gun that can shoot forward over a horizontal arc of more than 180 degrees, and over a perpendicular arc of about 240 degrees. On its fuselage, behind its wings and behind the propellers, is another gun that shoots astern over a horizontal arc of nearly 180 degrees and over a perpendicular arc of about 190. Besides these two guns the Gotha has a third, mounted on a pivot in the body of the fuselage and pointing downwards, through a port hole THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1918 in the bottom of the fuselage. By means of this last gun it can defend itself from enemy machines attacking it from below and behind, a position in which all other machines but the Gotha are vulnerable. The Germans have been most ingenious in designing their airplanes for maximum effectiveness of gun fire. Their single-seated Albatross D. I and D III, Fokker D, Halberstadt Roland D, and Ago D have two fixed guns firing ahead through the revolving propeller, and these machines are able to carry 2,000 cartridges for each gun. Their two-place reconnaissance machines Albatross, Rumpler, Aviatik and L. V. G. have one fixed forward gun firing through the propeller and a second lighter gun on a swivel mounted behind the planes and firing to the rear over an angle of 180 degrees. The French have adopted this system for the airplanes of similar type. The most ingenious armament, however, is that of the new Pomilio scout plane. It is not advisable to betray the secret of this plane at present, but it is permissible to say that the single pilot controls five guns, all shooting ahead simultaneously, and that four of these are so perfectly concealed that even a photograph does not show where they are situated. It is in reality a five-barreled Gatling gun on wings. This machine is now on its way to America, if indeed it has not already arrived. Talking with the Italian aviators now here about motors, I found them deeply interested in the new Liberty motor, but none would venture to express an opinion about it. "I could not judge of its value," said one of them, "until I had taken it up 5,000 or 100,000 feet in the air and watched how it behaved there. The Flat company, which has been making motors ever since these were first invented, needed two whole years of experimentation before it was able to turn out a satisfactory airplane motor. Several times it thought it had it; several times it offered a motor that performed perfectly under the most exacting laboratory tests, but each time it failed when tested in the rarefied air of 10,000 feet above the earth. After two years of trial the Flat people produced the wonderful motors now so extensively used. The Isotta-Fraschini company had a similar experience. We all admire the perfection of mechanism of the Liberty motor and we all hope that actual flight will prove it to be as perfect as it looks, but no one of us would venture to give a verdict on it until he had flown with it at all possible altitudes." These men, all of whom are youths who have had thrilling experiences in actual warfare, are fond of discussing the probabilities of a flight across the Atlantic. Any one of them would be willing to attempt it, but they disagree as to the machine most likely to be the first to make it. Some say the giant Caproni, which would need at least 24 hours, and probably 40, to fly from Newfoundland to Ireland (the shortest route), while others say some such machine as the S. V. A., as it could make the flight easily between sunrise and sunset. In the one case it would be like a giant condor relying on the power of its wings to sustain it a day and a night in flight, in the other case it would be a sea gull or a swallow relying on terrific speed to carry it over daylight. NAMING OF WARSHIPS. The law requires that all first-class battleships "shall be named for states and shall not be named for any city, place, or person until the names of the states have been exhausted," and a recent article by Walter Scott Meriwether in the Rudder points out that Secretary Daniels' recent order assigning the names of New Mexico, California, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Idaho to the five superdreadnaughts now under construction completely exhausts the list of unused names. In selecting names for the five battle cruisers authorized by the last congress, recourse was had to names which never should have disappeared from the navy register—Constitution, Constellation, Saratoga, Ranger, and Lexington. The famous old frigates Constitution and Constellation, now preserved as relics of the wooden fleets of a century ago, will be known as "Old Constitution" and "Old Constellation." The present Saratoga was formerly the New York, the armored cruiser which served as Admiral Sampson's flag ship. EVERY MAN TO HIS LAST. Because you are an excellent carpenter, declared Socrates in his famous Apologia at Athens, it does not therefore follow that you are the wisest of men. Yet the tendency persisted and persists, and Alexander Cruden, a great maker of concordances, was found offering his services to the British government, over 150 years ago, as "corrector of morals," just as many rich business men in England today are offering their services to the government "under the conviction that they can do in one day what an expert can barely manage in three—Christian Science Monitor. IN MONTENEGRO There's a peculiar superstition in Montenegro where the peasants believe that the iron kettle chain over the hot fireplace will not heat at all on Christmas night, as at all other times, but remains cool to the touch. To explain this they claim that a similar chain hung over the fire built on the floor of the stable at Bethlehem, and that at the birth of Christ, the virgin mother grasped it for support. It became cool at her touch lest it burn the saintly hand. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 13 JESUS BEGINS HIS WORK. FR 1:12:22 GOLDEN TEXT—Repent ye, and believe in the Gospel. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS—Matt. 4:11-11; 8:18-22; Luke 4:13; 9:57-62; Heb. 4:14-16; Acts 9:1-9; John 4:34-38. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus chooses four helpers. MEMORY VERSE—Come ye after me.— Mark 1:17. INTERMEDIATE TOPIC — Overcome temptation. MEMORY VERSE-I Cor. 16:13. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-How Jesus faced his task. 1. Introduction (vv. 12, 13). Mark devotes little or no attention to the early incidents of the life of Jesus, and only suggests the events immediately following his baptism. Indeed, for the record of the Temptation and the Sermon on the Mount, we have to look to the other Gospel writers. In teaching the lesson we must not, however, overlook making some reference to these two outstanding events in the life of our Lord. II. John the Baptizer (vv. 14, 15) This section not only disposes of John as having been put into prison, but immediately plunges Jesus into his public ministry. Jesus' entry into Galilee was a part of his connection with John, inasmuch as he withdrew himself to that place (See John 4:1-3), and made Capernaum his headquarters (Matt. 4:13). The message here recorded as proclaimed by Jesus was the identical summons which John the Baptizer had uttered. Jesus speaks of this new kingdom as being already come, referring, of course, to his own person and ministry, but in its actual establishment it was not really "at hand" until he shed his blood upon the cross and the Holy Spirit descended on the day of Pentecost, when there was opened the fountain for sin and uncleanliness for the world at large. III. His Helpers Called. (vv. 16-29). In this record, we have the call of four of his helpers: Simon, Andrew his brother, James and John his brother, the latter being the sons of Zebedee. Luke tells us (5:3) that Jesus was teaching. Those called were certainly at work and God always issues his call to those whose time and effort are being occupied, even though perhaps for selfish purposes. There is no place for an idler in the spiritual kingdom. This call was to "come ye after me" (v. 17), the purpose being that they might become "fishers of men." Notice he began upon the common, familiar ground of fishing, something mutually and thoroughly understood, and led them from that to a spiritual truth. In this we see a good pedagogical hint and a wise suggestion to the preacher and teacher, viz., that we must begin to teach our lessons through the medium of past experience and of present interests. Simon (Luke 5:5) appears to have been a doubter when Jesus called him. Nevertheless, he was willing to try Christ at least once, and so at his word, he let down the net. The evidence of obedience is found in verse 19, and Matthew (4:8) also Luke (5:11) tells us that when they left their nets, "they left all." IV. His Helpers Trained (vv. 21, 22). The result of this call was (see v. 21) that as they went into the city they entered into the synagogue where Jesus taught them. The inference, of course, is plain. Whenever God calls a man into his kingdom, he begins at once to teach him the duties and responsibilities of the kingdom. Notice that in becoming fishers of men, then began close at home, Brother sought brother. This was not the first time that Jesus had called these brothers. (See John 1:40, 41). In the call, as accorded by St. John, we are led to believe that John (the unmentioned disciple) first sought an interview with Christ. The question of harmonizing the various calls which Jesus gave to his disciples is an interesting one and one which has given rise to a good deal of discussion. The one recorded in the first chapter of John occurred in Judea; this one occurred in Galilee. As to whether this is the one recorded in the fifth chapter of Luke, there seems to be a general opinion that it is not the same, though we can with profit compare the two callings in teaching this lesson. The probabilities are that there were three calls: First, the one recorded in John 1:35:42; second, that one recorded in Matthew 4:18:22; and the third and last was that which occurred just before their appointment to become apostles, the one recorded in Luke five. Conclusion. When Jesus faced his great task, he did not face it alone. He had first of all the approval of God the Father. He also had the announcing of God the Holy Spirit, and he called in the co-operation and help of human agents. Jesus met his temptation and his tasks not in his own strength, but in the strength of the Spirit of God. At the same time being God, he called to his side those who in turn were to become fishers of men, leaders of others. His call to these disciples was three-fold; (a), to discipleship, (b), to fellowship, (Phll. 3:10); and (c), to service. Interesting Coat Dress With Novel Trimming I Millinery Birds of Passage The lady in the picture has on one of those coats (or is it a dress?) which leaves us in doubt as to its identity. "Will you remove your coat?" might bring the answer: "I cannot, this is also my dress," without surprising anyone. The coat-dress proved a convenience to the tourist who wished to travel light, especially when designed to allow an extra undergarment upon need of warmth, and a coat-dress like that pictured is a thing of beauty and distinction. If you are looking for a garment versatility enough to play this double role, be assured you will not find anything handsomer than the model shown here. It is of plain, smooth-faced cloth, and will appeal to good taste if we imagine it in gray or tan, or in darker colors. It is lifted into the ranks of the exceptional by its decoration. This is a bordered scroll in which cable cord, covered with cloth like that in the dress, is used instead of braid. The large covered cord, wound with a small silk cord in a darker shade of its own color. The coat is simple in design with straight Millinery Bir Hats for winter resort wear, along with other apparel for tourists that journey southward, are all ready for the companies of women that will soon turn their backs upon the lands of snow. A glimpse of them is alluring enough to fix a wavering purpose and determine those who may to follow them to the ends of the earth; that is to those ends that project themselves into the Gulf of Mexico, or the South Atlantic, or the Pacific in California. Wherever they go they must vie with the best efforts of millinery designers. Many of the models prepared for tourists are not so distinctly summerlike as to bar them from wear in the north, but the greater number belong only in lands of the sun. At the top of the group pictured, there is a fine turban of black sipper straw, with crown-top of black satin. It is a typical southern tourist model, beautifully shaped and simply trimmed. Its broad spread of black, glossy wings suggests flight in a happy course—southward. The black hat at the left, of mallines and panne velvet, bows to edict for simplicity in millinery and makes its marvel at the style and beauty of its lines. It belongs to no section or climate, being an adaptable hat for afternoon wear anywhere; and dress hats of this kind now extend their usefulness to evening wear also. It could hardly be simpler, with its finishing touch merely a pln that cannot even be classed as "fancy." Its head is a long coll of panne velvet, and that all is there of trimming, and no one who sees the model wishes for more. To some millions of us who spend our full shirt, joined to a semifitting, roomy bodice, having plain coat sleeves and a long, square cape at the back. This, with the turnover collar, the cuffs and belt give additional opportunity to feature the novel decoration. The large scroll pattern, appearing on the skirt is repeated in smaller motifs on the belt, across the cape and collar and on the cuffs. Unexpected details in the costume appear in the slit pockets in each side of the skirt and in the small scarf made to match the coat. This scarf idea has been developed by costumers in several clever ways, sometimes attached to the coat and sometimes not. The turban worn with this very interesting garment is evidently a part of the outfit, for it depends upon a covered cord to furnish its decoration, but goes further and adds an odd new pompon which looks much like a chrysanthemum made of ostrich flues. Nothing illustrates better the "difficult simplicity," which is demanded of designers of the dress of today, than this smart coat dress. ds of Passage winters north this is the most interesting hat in the group. At the right the hat of "peanit" braid belongs, like the butterflies among growing flowers. It is a novel weave in straw in a light turquoise blue color, with a narrow lace mesh woven in two rows in the body of the hat. The brim is faced with orchid pink velour, and narrow strips of it are laced through the mesh in the hat. Tassels that finish the trimming are made of these narrow strips. This is something new under the sun, and hats of braid are shown in all the lovely light colors that herald the spring. Julia Bottomley Washable Blouses Popular. Lingerie blouses will always be preferred by some women, and many of them are being shown this season. Batiste and fine cotton volle are the favorite fabrics for lingerie models, and fine tucking, hemsitching, and dainty lace edgings constitute the favored trimmings. Tallored blouses of men's wear sill and of satin are extremely popular also. For a Stretched Sweater To restore the shape of a sweater wash in hot water and white soapsudu. Rinse in cool water and lay to dry on a covered table top or other flat surface. Pin the arms up, fasten the buttons and lay the whole garment so that the width is stretched rather than the length.

In view of the fact that living has increased 180 per cent in the last 18 months, the Colored working women of Kansas City have organized into what is known as the Day Workers' Industrial Union, under the American Federation of Labor, for a 50 per cent increase of wages, thus receiving $2.10 per day instead of $1.60 per day. The Union members are demanding the Union wage, $2.10 per day, and all are receiving it with little protest. We are making an earnest appeal to all women that do any kind of work by the day to join this union. Do not be afraid of losing your work, as no one is doing day work but the Colored women, and this is your opportunity to ask for what we want and receive it as well, as the high cost of living makes it necessary.

D., recently of Portland, Oregon, has been transferred here to take charge of the St. James African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, on Woodland Avenue, near Eighteenth Street. He was accompanied to this city with his very accomplished and amiable wife and assumed pastoral charge last Sunday morning. Bishop L. W. Kyles and the District Superintendent, Rev. E. J. Dodson both being present and commending Dr. McKenney and his wife in the highest terms of praise and efficiency for the present needs of this field to a good sized audience being present. Rev. McKenney has had considerable travel and wide experience in our missionary work at home and abroad, having but recently returned to this country from the Hawaiian Territory where he was engaged in religious work in the Island of Maua. His wife has been engaged in educational work since 1912, and is well qualified for the social work of the church. We are satisfied that they are well qualified for the requirements of this field, and will render great service to our people in this civic center. Rev. McKenney's sermons are evangelical and carries a strong inclination to a broader vision of service to the whole community in its spiritual uplift and advancement of the kingdom. We believe that he, with the cooperation of his members and other Christian workers in this community will fill up a long felt need of Zion Methodism in this city. He also stands ready to co-operate with ministers and other Christian workers in the city in whatever way he may, in promoting the cause of evangelism and civic righteousness. Therefore we take pleasure in commending him to the entire community and would ask a hearing for him at the earliest convenience. Services at St. James will be as usual, with evangelistic services every Sunday evening, from now 'till the opening of spring. Thorough reorganization is under way in this charge, and at an early day we look forward to a strong and effective organization here. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
