Kealing, President University, Passed Residence Quindarca a Prolonged The Entire Race Mourns the cator and So The many friends and admirers of this Community and the entire United States were grieved to hear of the passing out of one of the best loved men of this country, Dr. H. T. Kealing, the President of Western University Quindaro, Kansas, last Monday evening. As an orator Dr. Kealing ranked among the foremost of his race and could sway his audiences at will. His wit was spicy, ever quick at repartee, enjoyed a good story and was most successful in telling a good story, driving it home to its logical and moral conclusion. His last public utterance being delivered to an appreciative and large audience January 6 on "A man without eyelids." It proved to be his swan song. At the climax of an interesting little story told in connection thereof he made a striking appeal to his people for them to try to always be "somebody in particular." Dr. Kealing was distinctively an educator and a lover of aspiring youth. His life was characterized by simplicity, efficiency and quality. He placed character above achievement and honesty of purpose above attainment. He was not a radical but a practical reformer. Hightower T. Kealing, A. M. D. D. LL. D. was born in Austin, Texas, April 1, 1859 and departed this life February 25, 1918 at 8:55 p. m. at the age of 58 years, 10 months and 24 days. After completing the work of the public schools of his native city he graduated from Straight University at New Orleans, La. and still having an insatiable desire for more knowledge went to Tabor College, la. where he finished his collegiate course with great credit. He was ever a student of philosophy, science, languages, sociology and the Holy Bible. Thus he thoroughly prepared himself, for a great career. His first work after leaving college was to become Vice President of the State Normal school at Prairie View, Texas. From there he became supervising principal of the Colored public schools of Austin, then principal of the Negro High School of the same city. Later he became President of the Paul Quinn College at Waco, Tex In 1896 the General Conference in session at Wilmington, N. C., elected him Editor of the A. M. E. Review which position he filled with credit to himself, the Church and the race splendidly. Here he displayed his ripe scholarship, a profundity of information that can only be secured by wide and careful reading, a keen analytical mind of philosophical poise and a complete mastery of forensic expression. In 1901 he was a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference in London, England; participating in the deliberations of this meeting and in all of its constructive policies. While abroad he visited throughout England, France and Switzerland. On October 1, 1910, at the call of Governor Stubbs of Kansas and on the recommendations of Booker T. Washington, Bishop Abram Grant and Dr J R Ransom he resigned the Editorship of the Review and accepted the Presidency of Western University. In 1911 he became a member of the Anna Jeannes Fund Board which handles the million dollar fund for the education of Negro youth taking the place left vacant by the demise of Bishop Grant. Associated with him on this Board were President Theodore Roosevelt, R. R. Moton, Mr. Wilcox, E. J. Scott, and others of National prominence. He was also a member of the American Academy, Political and Social Science, International Peace Confer --- The Kansas City Sun ence, N. A. A. C. P., National Educational Association. He is the author of several pamphlets and books among them being: "History of African Methodism in Texas;" "Fortune Telling in History;" "Church Problems;" "How to Live Longer" and others. He has been a contributor to the Century, Lippincott's and the Journal of Education. For the past few years, Mr. Kealing has been on the decline in health, but continued his work, not stopping for rest nor recreation. He gave his entire and undivided time to the school and its work. On account of his condition school was closed a week earlier last May to give him more time to rest, however owing to the work of repairing, remodeling and installing machinery, etc., he did not go until August. He returned in September, spent a week at his desk and was taken down ill again. For eight weeks he was confined to his bed. Recovering slightly, he went to Texas to convalesce, where he remained until the first of the year when he returned to Kansas feeling improved but did not return to his desk. Remaining in bed he made an earnest effort to handle matters pertaining to the school, but failed. Several specialists were called in consultation but little hope was manifested by them for his recovery. On Monday night, after a seemingly restful day he passed to the Great Beyond at the hour of 8:55. His family had gathered at his bedside some days previous. He is survived by a loving wife, four girls and a son, Goldie E., who teaches in Philadelphia, Pa., Frances F. teacher in the high school at St. Joseph, Mo., Carolyn I. student at Tabor College, Cecelia M., a student at Western University and Hightower, Jr. The funeral and burial services were of the simplest order, as he would desire. They were held at the First A. M. E. church, 8th and Nebraska avenue, Thursday morning at ten o'clock. The body after having been looked upon by the students and friends of the university at the home, lay in state at the church all day Wednesday under military guard. A large number of out-of-town ministers and friends came. Among them were Bishop H. B. Parks, Chicago; Dr. J. R. Ransom, Wichita, Kansas; Secretary of Education, Prof. A. S. Jackson, Waco, Texas; Financial Secretary, Dr. J. R. Hawkins, Washington, D. C., Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, St. Joseph, Mo., State Business Manager, Hon. James A. Kimball, Topeka; Mr. Robt.

Let us be more determined in our lives to leave one behind us, of which it can be truthfully said of his, 'It was good; it was faith-formed in line at salute while the HIGHTOWER T. KEALING Orator, educator, scholar. A leader of his race, who passed away last Monday evening, February 25. The military department's cadets were on relief watch throughout the services, and at the conclusion a company of Lincoln High School cadets formed in line at salute while the body was being borne away. The music was rendered by the university Chorus club. The interment, which took place in Woodlawn Cemetery, Kansas City, Kan., was marked by the sounding of taps by two buglers, a solemn requiem by the band. Bishop Parks, assisted by Rev. Wm. H. Thomas performed the last rights. The eulogy of Bishop Parks was one of appeal, most especially to the boys and girls who, on account of lack of car service had walked a greater part of the way to the last honor that could be paid their beloved president. For them he saw in Dr. Kealing's life, a life of service. Quoting from Matt. 20: "Well done thou good and faithful servant," he dwelt at length upon the man's life. "His was a faithful service. He was an obedient servant. His was a determined service and a life full of service. Earnest and upright in every sense of that term. Orator, educat "It was my pleasure to form his acquaintance at the General Conference in 1896 when he was elected editor of the A. M. E. Review. At this time Bishop Abram Grant told me of his sterling qualities, his noble character. After his election he went to Philadelphia to take up his new work and we became more and more acquainted. I was drawn to him by his strong mind, his ability to give out truth and instruction. By nature he was an educator. He could not help giving out some truth when in conversation with you. The longer I knew him the more I learned to love him. "Throughout our travels over and through the southern states, where our accommodations were never the beat, I could always get some inspiration from him. 'Might is not right,' he would say. 'Truth will win. The length of years that it may take to overcome these conditions is not the thing we should worry over. It will come by and by.'" "The thought that I want to leave with you young people is that this faithful life of service has had its reward. It is having its reward now. It will continue with us. Let us be --- "I have never met a man in my life who was more conscientious of the faculties that God had given him. He realized early in life that God had given him great possibilities. He studied to live. He was a student, and as such was able to do so much more than many other men. I do not think that I would be over-estimating the facts at all if I said that he was a five talent man. We do not have many of them in either race. Seldom do you find a man of five talents. He was a great man. He was an exceptionally large man. All his faculties had been developed for the accomplishment of the things he did. "Turning to the brighter side of life, I would say that he has passed through the pain and sorrow of life. And enters into the joys of his reward." Prof. John R. Hawkins, who arrived during the services, was very eloquent in his remarks on the life of Dr. Kealing, and upon the beauty of the fam HIGHTOWER T. KEALING or, scholar. A leader of his race, wh last Monday evening, February 25. ily's home life. He said he counted him as one of his dearest friends, and through the life the deceased had lived he learned that man could really love man. When he went into their home he said that he always felt an inspiration and felt better able to enjoy and perform the duties of his own home life. "He was my friend who lifted as he lived; one who lived a shining light. His life became a heavenly benediction to me; it was a life of inspiration, and his life led me to know that men can love men. And so I come to mingle with you in sympathy at this last hour of tribute to him whose life was sweet to know." The floral offerings were beautiful! They were massed about, the funeral bier, around the chancel rail, and in the choir loft. They in themselves offered a most eloquent tribute to one of the race's greatest men. CHICKEN DINNER.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE EIGHTH WARD: As a candidate for Alderman of the Eighth Ward, I am taking this method of informing you as to how I stand upon questions affecting the public welfare, as well as the motives that impel me to seek this office at your hands. FIRST: I stand, unreservedly, for civic righteousness and Moral and Material advancement of the Negro Race. SECOND: I believe that all public utilities should be forced to give equal service for the amount paid to them by the people. THIRD: I believe that every citizen should pay his part (taxation) for the support of the municipality. FOURTH: I shall, if elected, be the Alderman of all the people and work for the betterment of the ward along all public lines. FIFTH: Since coming to this City, I have taken an active part in every movement looking to the advancement and general welfare of my Race. SIXTH: I fought the vicious Segregation Ordinance, which certain politicians sought to saddle upon the city—pointing out its weakness and lack of Constitutionality, and in addition thereto, I opposed the establishment of the vile smelling, health destroying Incinerating Plant in the heart of our Negro Residential District. SEVENTH: Under our form of Government, all of the people are supposed to have an equal voice in the conduct of its affairs, and any denial of this right is an open violation of the Federal Constitution. I pledge myself to fight for every right to which the Race is entitled. EIGHTH: The majority of the voters of the Eighth Ward are Negroes and the matter of electing a true representative of that Race is with them and if they wish representation in the City Government, the opportunity is ripe. I have absolute faith in the honor and integrity of my people and believe that they will stand by and be behind a true representative of the RACE. L. A. KNOX. RIOTERS. President Wilson Will Review Case of Five Houston Soldiers Washington. Feb. 27.—An indefinite respite has been granted five Negro soldiers of the 24th Infantry, sentenced by court-martial to be hanged for participation in the Houston riots. The number and character of appeals for clemency reaching the President from clergymen and Negro organizations caused the respite. The President has notified the War Department that he will suspend action on the cases until he has received the record of the court-martial proceedings in the cases of thirty other members of the regiment now being tried at San Antonio. Thirteen of the rioters already have been hanged and a large number are serving heavy prison terms. And now we see things aright under the revealing light turned on by the person who knows surely, "The Shadow of Years" have spoken the language to him who can best express or interpret it for us. "Days Should Speak and Multitude of years Should Teach Wisdom." Surely, fifty years, brimful ones, have taught this Disciple of Study, the Wisdom of Days and the Spirit of Understanding. The February Crisis marks the fiftieth Birthday of its Astute Editor. In a sketch, styled "The Shadow of Years," this gentleman lets us in on the ground floor by a few graphic strikes of his pen. It is just as if he stepped beyond his cloister and thrown open every access or portal and bid you to see for yourself, His Home and Heart, His Hope, His Work. We learn from poetic language that "He Was Born By a Golden River and In the Shadow of Two Great Hills;" further on he says, "With a Flood of Negro Blood, A Strain of French, A Bit of Dutch, and Thank God! No Anglo-Saxon." I come to the days of my childhood. They were very happy. This revelation of no "Anglo Saxon" in him causes us also to "Thank God." This has been one of the illusions of the people concerning him. This not only files his social identity, but refutes certain claims of Detractors who have advanced hereditary tendencies and aspirations as "Sins" of our most scholarly one. With a classic condensation, Dubois puts a history into a few pages. What he reveals is highly illuminating to his character and shows a "side" we did not know. He displays about himself and his own a characteristic frankness which is also beautiful. And so, Dubois, in this great southwest of ours in the very "Souls of Black Folk" greet you and congratulated you in the attainment of your Half Century of years. Your work and position compels us to place you as forming the third pivotal point in the Race's Triangle of Great Excellencies. First, Douglass in Statesmanship, Washington in Leadership and Dubois in Scholarship. Colored Children's Improvement Association.

New York.—Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the Afro-Methodist Episcopal Review, was nominated last night by a convention of Negroes for the seat in Congress made vacant by the resignation of Murray Hubert. There are said to be more than fifty thousand Negro voters in the district. John A. Bolles, a lawyer, was nominated by the Republicans of the district. COLQRED CHILDREN'S IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.

Allen, after four years of service, has been granted a leave of absence at his urgent request .he has accepted another business opportunity which will occupy his time for several months. Mr. P. C. James, one of your own people of high integrity, has been made District Manager and placed in charge of all business handled by Mr. Allen. Seeking to please all of our policyholders and friends, we found that the office at 400 Shukert Bldg., did not meet with their approval, and for that reason Mr. James will be located at the old office, 1507 East 18th street until further notice. The Clover Leaf has made wonderful progress during 1917, 1918 will be a record breaker for the company. We urge to you the necessity of paying your premium on or before the first of each month to your collector or to the office. Very truly yours, Clover Leaf Casualty Co. R. Y. Rowe, Secretary. The Secretary of the Treasury has announced that neither the soldiers, sailors, nor their dependents or any beneficiaries under the soldier and sailor insurance law need employ attorneys or claim agents to collect the insurance; that the employment of such intermediaries is unnecessary and inadvisable and a needless expense. The procedure for the presentation and collection of insurance claims is very simple and the proper blanks can be secured from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance in Washington. The name of the person in the service who was killed or injured and the relationship which he bore to the person making the claim should be given. If further information or assistance is required by the claimant the Bureau of War Risk Insurance will gladly furnish it. Circulars have been sent out by claim agents and attorneys offering to assist persons entitled to the benefits of this insurance in collecting their claims. The "pension sharks," who once thrived and fattened under our pension laws, are still a rank memory in this country. It was hoped that when they were legislated out of existence we would never see their like again. But their successors seem to survive, and the action of Secretary McAdoo in giving prompt warning against these would-be profiteers under the insurance law will be commended by all.

"I don't suppose that I shall ever get this bill settled," sighed Mr. Sandy, the local bootmaker, looking rufely at a small piece of blue paper. "Why not?" asked the partner of his joys and sorrows, though not of his business details. "Whose is it?" A man and a woman are sitting at a desk, looking at a book. The man is holding a book and a pen, while the woman is holding a book and a pencil. "It's the account of Mr. Goodman, the deacon. I've asked him for it ever so many times, but I can't get it. I don't know how to bring him to the point. He is such a big-wig in the place. I suppose he won't pay till he wants another pair—in about twelve months." "Give me that bill," said his wife, with an air of determination. "I'll get it settled." That was Saturday evening. On the Monday evening the bill and the cash were sent to Mr. Sandy. "How did you manage it, my love?" asked the bootmaker in amazement. "Oh, it wasn't much trouble," said Mrs. Sandy, quietly. "You were not at church yesterday, or you would have understood. When he brought round the plate for the collection, I just put that bill into the plate, folded so that everybody could see the name and other particulars—the date and so forth. I thought you would have the money today. When you want any more debts collected, pass the bills on to me, Henry." And Henry said he would.—London Tit-Bits. Missionary Needs of Java. The island of Java is about the size of New York state, and has a population of over thirty-three millions of people. A few Dutch missionaries are working in scattered fields, and the Salvation army is doing a good work in some of the larger towns. The Methodist Episcopal church has about fifteen representatives. Many of the missionaries are teaching in the Chinese schools, and doing almost nothing for the native Javanese. Nominally the people of Java are Mohammedans. In point of fact, they are only a very little advanced over their old animistic religion. The Dutch government is gradually providing schools which will give them some knowledge of reading and writing. The native people of Java are said to be ready and willing to receive the gospel message. Wherever aggressive missionaries have been able to reach them, there have been definite and encouraging results. The famous French cross of the "Legion d'Honneur" was instituted by Napoleon in 1802 when he was first consul. It is not a cross at all, having five arms instead of four, and was designed for an eagle, the upper arm representing the head, the side arms the wings, and the two remaining arms the legs of the eagle. The imperial eagle was on the center of the obverse. The order is not exclusively a military order, being awarded quite as often for artistic or literary accomplishments or for industrial achievement, and for distinction in many fields of adventure, and its award is not even restricted to French subjects,—Scribner's Magazine. Where Tips Are Forbidden Where Tips Are Forbidden. Six states now have anti-tipping laws Illinois, Iowa, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas—and in last fall's sessions of the state legislatures bills were introduced with the object of ending the practice of tipping in seven other states—New York, West Virginia, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado and California. Iowa has recently refused to repeal its anti-tipping law. The bills now pending attack in particular the custom of letting tipping privileges to individuals or syndicates desiring to operate in hotel cloakrooms and dining rooms.—Christian Science Monitor. In England, Too! One of the most rapid building operations on record has just been accomplished by the great Vickers company of England, in putting up a canon factory, containing more than a thousand great machines.

Modest Heroes in Navy Blue. The navy department has been informed of the heroeship of two sailors whose work was accomplished before their names could be learned. During the recent disastrous fire in Norfolk, Va., the city called upon the navy yard authorities for aid. Details of sailors and first aid men were sent in response. At the height of the fire the alarm was sent out among the workers that some of the city's firemen were trapped in a burning hotel. Two sailors who had fought their way into the building reached the spot where two firemen were cut off from escape. The fire fighters were injured and hardly able to walk. The sailors got them to a window and with their burdens descended an ice-cooled ladder to the ground. Having completed their work, they walked away and were soon lost among their mates. The crowd around the burning building had seen their heroesism and applauded it, but they never learned their names. Gentle Wild Beasts Many persons have the idea that all wild beasts are vicious and ready to attack a man at any time, says a well-known explorer and big-game hunter, Mr. Savage Landor, but this is not the case. This traveler has seen almost every species of wild animals during his adventurous life, and though he has been in close contact with many that have a bad reputation for ferocity and viciousness, he has never been attacked. Of course, if they happen to be wounded or ravenously hungry, or are first attacked, they are dangerous and liable to spring upon a man. Similarly, wild beasts in the unnatural state of captivity in menageries are usually sullen and not to be trusted. Mr. Landor states that he has found all these savage beasts, except the African buffalo, quite timid and almost gentle, under ordinary, natural conditions. Plowing in Either Direction. Because of the toughness of the stalks and roots from the previous season's planting, the plowing of cane-sugar land requires the heaviest of farm equipment. The conventional horse-drawn plow used by farmers would have little effect if any on the stumps and roots and soil of a typical cane-sugar plantation. For this reason a double-ended plow is used on Porto Rican sugar plantations for preparing the soil for a new planting, that is to say, they can be operated equally well in either direction. The motive power for the plow is furnished by two portable steam engines, one at each end, of the field, which pull the plow back and forth by means of wire cables. Health Gain. Professor Phillips of Amherst college, believes that the American women of today are physically much finer and stronger than the women of yesterday and that if the women continue their physical improvement in the succeeding generations as much as they have in the last generation it will not be many centuries before the American women will be as physical equal and fit as the American men.

Edition Went Like Wildfire. "Was your last book a success?" "Oh, immense! The publisher sent the entire edition to my house just as we ran out of coal." THE KANSAS CUTY SUN, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1918 What Well Dressed Women Will Wear CONSIDER THE TAILORED SUIT FOR SPRING. The time has come—it is here this minute—to consider the tailored suit for spring. It is an agreeable duty because the season has in store some happy surprises for us in novel trimming ideas and in ingenious combinations of cloth and silk. Designers have been asked to conserve wool and have responded in a way to reflect honor on themselves by furnishing models that use little cloth but are so cleverly designed, with such attention to good lines and so much originality in finish, that we may give thanks for the necessity which mothered such fine inventions. Make up your mind to have a sprightly suit for spring; because this year's suit has characteristics all its own. in plaits or folds or tucks that will take up material lately needed and they are and a half to two yards. Aprons have always being; they are of so many proclaims so plainly that tended for real use in suchivities or are merely decorivial. But times have a aprons, and now the mosting and useful of them are look well, to possess style strength. Necessity and have given the apron a bow we have "service aprons" low aprons, shapely and by women who are doing themselves and others Among them are to be mentioned the introduction of wests which are made of silk, brocade, crepe, plaque and of plain fabrics handsomely embroidered. Somewhere at the front—the sides of the coat may barely meet, or just fall to, they are held together by one or two link buttons. In other models fronts are cut away like a man's dress coat leaving an expanse of handsome waist coat to entice the eye. White cloth collars and cuffs, with collars lengthened into revers are another feature that add to the attractiveness of spring suits and they belong to an attractive class which includes suits with collars, revers and cuffs of figured or plain silk. Narrow braid and small buttons appear in coats not otherwise decorated, THE LIBRARY THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY and ingenious cutting redeems the plainest suits from being uninteresting. A suit of this character is shown in the picture, of serge bound with silk braid. Its lines are trim and graceful, the coat original in cut and of medium length; many are shorter and few longer. The fronts just meet at the waistline fastening with a link button there. Skirts might be disposed of very briefly by describing them merely as plain. They do not indulge themselves there are many them, if they are to be such moderate tion whether t doing the work depends upon spare and with it. in pliats or folds or tucks or anything that will take up material not absolutely needed and they are from one and a half to two yards wide. Aprons have always been interesting; they are of so many kinds and proclaim so plainly that they are intended for real use in substantial activities or are merely decorative and trivial. But times have changed with aprons, and now the most wear-resisting and useful of them are required to look well, to possess style as well as strength. Necessity and patriotism have given the apron a boost, and now we have "service aprons" and "bungalow aprons", shapey and neat, worn by women who are doing things for themselves and others which others used to do for them. Some of the bungalow aprons made of plain percale or chambray in all the light colors, pink, lavender, tan, maize, blue, green and rose, with collars and cuffs of flowered cretonnes, ought to be rechristened, they are so gay and pretty. They deserve to be called bungalow frocks at least—and perhaps that is exactly what they are. A service apron for every-day house wear is shown in the picture, made of plaid percale with plain white cuffs and collars. It has long sleeves. Many of the good-looking aprons for housework are made of plain percale or chambray, with plaid collars, pockets, cuffs and belts. Usually the sleeves are three-quarter length. They are designed to be easily laundered, and 1 there are many good patterns for making them, if one has the time. But they are to be had ready made at such moderate prices that it is a question whether there is any economy in doing the work at home or not. It depends upon the time one has to spare and what can best be done with it. Julia Bottomley HOW ONE'S COAL BILL MAY BE REDUCED THROUGH MOISTURE IN AIR. The advantages derived from the proper moistening of the air in the home are little realized by the average dweller. Increasing the humidity is a great help in the conservation of coal and, in addition, prevents an irritated condition of the throat which tends to the harboring of germs. The air in the home may be moistened at little or no expense if a few simple rules are followed. It is essential to keep the water tank in the furnace filled almost to capacity in order to obtain the results desired. The placing of pans of water in inconspicuous corners of the house will add greatly to the comfort of the occupants in the same manner. Humidifiers manufactured for installation on radiators are valuable and soon repay their original cost in the saving of coal. The principle involved in air moistening is a simple natural law, particularly noticeable during the warmer months. The temperature might be around 85, but if the humidity is high the heat is as uncomfortable as if the thermometer registered 95 with low humidity. Adapting this principal to the home will result in a big reduction in the coal bill and possibly the doctor's fee. SHOULD EAT MORE EULACHON Why Department of Commerce Urges People to Make Use of Fish as a Food. The eulachon, a species of fish much like the smelt, which lives in the water of the Pacific coast, and, like the smelt, has the habit of running into rivers and brooks for spawning, is suggested by the bureau of fisheries of the department of commerce as a war substitute for more expensive and less nutritious foods. In a booklet distributed by the bureau of fisheries the eulachon is described as "the finest fish in the world: tender, fragrant and digestible." The booklet says it is the fattest of fishes, and that its oil has a peculiarly delicate, agreeable flavor, and, when extracted, is solid at ordinary temperatures. The eulachon is found from Oregon north to Alaska in great quantities, and has been placed on the market fresh, frozen, brine salted, kippered and hard smoked and canned. The frozen fish is as good as the fresh, says the booklet but the consumer should buy them still fresh and thaw them in cold water be fore using. MOTOR LIFTS GREAT WEIGHT How Mysterious Power Is Employed to Do the Work of Great Number of Men. Almost, if not equally, as famous as the immortal "man with the hoe" is the "man with the magnet"—the man we see in all the leading industrial plants nowadays. The modern electric magnet described in a recent issue of The Experimenter, lifts a tenon billet just as easily as a man would lift a 25-pound sack of flour. At the touch of a switch the magnet loses its magnetic power and the billet drops or lays where it is. Attached to traveling cranes, the amount of work one of these electromagnets in the larger size can accomplish in one day is astonishing. It will unload a freight car full of pig iron in less time than a gang of men, and at a fraction of the cost. The larger sizes of electro-magnets are capable of lifting single pieces weighing as much as 60,000 pounds, or 30 tons. Such a giant electro-magnet as this measures $62\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter, consumes 72 amperes, at 220 volts, and weighs 7,500 pounds net. Why War Makes Criminals. At the annual meeting of the Young Men's Christian Associations of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, speakers said that investigations by judges and others in the United States had shown 65 per cent more crime among boys and young men last year than in the previous 12 months. The increase was largely due, it was declared, to conditions resulting from the war—decreased home supervision, caused by the absence of fathers and older brothers; employment at high wages, with a resulting increase in spending money; darkened streets at night, due to fuel supervision, and an interested spirit of adventure causing boys to imitate soldiers and sailors in their vices rather than in their virtues. Why Sawmills Are Kent Busy Why Sawmills Are Kept Busy. Sawmills all over Ohio are engaged in war work, turning the state's timber tracts into many different kinds of machinery used in the rear. J. W. Calland of the department of forestry of the Ohio experiment station, reports many mills are working on government orders. Several orders are for oak and hickory dimensions to be used in making artillery and escort wagons. Bending oak and elm go to firms making auto trucks. Select ash, walnut and quartered oak are used in the manufacture of airplanes. Considerable good white oak from northeastern Ohio is being sawed into ship timber and boat units. One Ohio firm has an order for a million tent stakes to be made from hardwood. The Housewife and the War (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) WHEN MEAT TAKES A HOLIDAY. MILK Meat and Other Foods You Can Eat for Protein—Cheese, Beans, Milk, Eggs, Bread. OLD FOODS TAKE PLACE OF MEATS Eat Substitutes Occasionally and You Save Fighting Material for Army. VALUE OF COTTAGE CHEESE One-Third Cupful Equals One-Fourth Pound of Sirlino Steak in Protein —Cupful of Baked Beans Is Another Equivalent. Why not use them oftener? There are numerous good ways of cooking them. They give you the body-building material for which you eat meat largely—protein—and a lot of it. ```markdown ``` Meat is only one of the foods which furnish that body-building material, protein. Cheese, milk, eggs, beans, peas, cereals, and nuts contain it in plentiful amounts. Take cottage cheese, for example. It is richer in protein than meat. You can eat a third of a cupful of it with relish, and this third of a cupful will give you as much of the protein as a quarter of a pound of sirloin steak—a good, generous serving. Or if you like baked beans eat a cupful to get the same amount of protein. The child to grow must have food that furnishes this kind of body-building material. You need it, too. Even if you are grown up you must have it to renew parts of your body used up by work and exercise. Eat meat substitutes occasionally, and you save a fighting material. Peas, beans, peanuts, and cereals are cheaper than meats and good to eat. They should be used, but eat some milk or cheese besides. Here are some suggestions: Kidney Bean Stew. 1 1/2 cupfuls dried kidney or other beans. 2 tablespoonfuls flour. Wash the beans, put in covered kettle, and soak overnight in two quarts of cold water. Cook the beans slowly in the water in which they soaked. If necessary, add more water to cover and continue the cooking until they are nearly tender, usually about two hours. Wash the rice, cut up the onion and add with the tomatoes to the beans. Cook until rice is tender—about 30 minutes. Mix the flour with a little cold water and stir in carefully to thicken. A small piece of salt pork cut up in cubes and added to the beans at the beginning of the cooking gives a pleasant flavor to the dish. This stew will make a whole meal in itself, with bread and butter and fruit for desert, to serve five or six people. Pea Souffle. 2 t a b l e s p o o n f l u o r. f flour. 2 t a b l e s p o o n f l u o r. f fat. 1 cupful skim milk. 1 cupful mashed cooked peas (any kind). 1 teaspoonful salt. 2 tablespoonsful fat. 1 cupful skim milk. 1 cupful mashed cooked peas (any kind). Make a white sauce from flour, fat and milk, as in preceding recipe. Mash the cooked peas to pulp. Beat white and yolks of eggs separately. Mix vegetable pulp, seasonings, sauce and well-beaten yolks. Fold in stiffly-beaten whites, put in greased baking dish and bake in slow oven until firm. Lima beans, split peas, cowpeas, or fresh or canned green peas may be used. Cheese, milk, eggs, and meat give body-building material in a little better form than the plant foods do. Creamed Peanuts and Rice. 1 cupful rice (un- cooked). $ tablespoonfuls mour. 2 cupfuls chopped $ tablespoonfuls peanuts. fat. 3 cupfuls milk (whole or skim). 2 teaspoonfuls salt. White Sauce. Boll rice. Make white sauce by mixing flour in melted fat and mixing with milk. Stir over fire until it thickens. Mix rice, peanuts and seasoning with sauce, place in greased baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Calcutta Rice. 2 cupfuls rice. ½ pound cheese. 2 cupfuls tomatoes. 1 tablespoonful salt. Peppers and celery or onions may be added if desired. Boll rice. Mix it with tomatoes, grated cheese and seasonings, and pour into baking dish. Bake half an hour. If peppers or celery are used, cut up and boll with the rice. All of these four dishes except the pea souffle have as much building material, protein, as a pound and a quarter of solid meat. The pea souffle furnishes only about half as much protein, but is very good instead of meat at a lighter meal. Nuts are concentrated foods, too. Twenty single peanuts are about the same as the inch cube of cheese. Remember that nuts are good food. Chew them thoroughly or grind them up for a cooked dish and eat them as an important part of your meal. More Uses for Toast. Saving stale bread by making it into toast is an economy. In many families, toast is served only for breakfast, luncheon, or supper, but the custom which many high-grade restaurants have adopted of serving thin, crisp, hot toast with the more substantial meals might well be followed at home. Such dishes as chopped meat with gravy, creamed chicken or fish, poached eggs, melted cheese, cooked asparagus, Swiss chard, baked tomatoes, etc., are served very commonly on toast. Cream or milk toast (that is, toast with a cream sauce or milk gravy, perhaps flavored with a very little chipped beef, salt fish, or other savory) may be used at the main dish at breakfast, luncheon, or supper. Slices of toast may also be dipped in water or milk and beaten egg and lightly browned on a hot greased pan. It may be used at breakfast, and has the advantage of making the eggs "go further" than if used in a separate dish, or it may be served with cinnamon and sugar, sirup, or any sweet sauce for dessert. Egg Toast. 6 slices bread. 1 cupful milk, skim 1 egg. milk or water. ¾ teaspoonful salt. Beat the egg, and add the liquid and salt. Let the bread soak in the mi- xture until slightly soft. Then fry to a light brown on a hot, well-greased pan or griddle. More eggs may be used if available. ```markdown ``` There's a great deal of food in a little piece of it. Don't eat it at the end of a meal when you have already had enough. You wouldn't eat a piece of meat then. An inch cube of American cheese contains a third more protein than a piece of lean meat of the same size. Cheese is excellent food if eaten at the right time. Get from the United States Department of Agriculture the Farmers' Bulletin on cheese, No. 487, to learn how to use it in many ways. Citric Acid From Cull Lemons The production of citric acid on a commercial scale from cull lemons has been solved by the United States Department of Agriculture. Citric acid prepared in this way has been sold at a price several cents above the market. Orange pulp for the manufacture of marmalade has been prepared and methods for preparing citrus peel for the market, developed by the United States Bureau of Chemistry.

Booze of Mississippi who contended before the Republican National committee that the Negroes do not want anything which the white people do not want them to have and who succeeded in defeating the Negro contestant for a place upon the Committee is an even greater curse to the race than booze who as insidiously sponsors the claims of the Hon. John Barleycorn. Does this appear sound? If the Negro newspapers at a very great and constant expense give free advertisement to the many and varied interests of the church then the church should at least reciprocate by refusing to give free advertisements through their Sunday services to enterprises which otherwise would be compelled to patronize the newspapers. In the loss of Dr. H. T. Kealing the race has again suffered a loss for which we were in no sense prepared. Dr. Kealing was not only a leader of the most unimpeachable moral and spiritual character but he was a real, polished scholar in a class practically all to himself and stood out as the finest example of what the Negro can achieve along the line of broad classical learning and efficient attainments. It is now the time of year when the school authorities are casting up values in teachers preparatory toward making up the list of workers for the next year. The Sun insists that the colored teachers should be held to the same degree of efficiency as those of the other race, at least in a reasonable ratio of their respective opportunities. Those who are known to be incompetent and inefficient should be no longer tolerated but the best available material should be secured for the training of our children. That food may win the war, it is necessary that you have a war garden, so as to produce food. If you have no ground then rent a vacant lot. The amount of food which can be raised on a small lot, if carefully worked, will surprise you. A few seeds, a little work with the hoe will give you many a fine meal. That the world may be free from the rule of the German Government the almost sainted French women are doing a greater part of the agricultural work of France while the men are in the trenches. The French women do not complain, except that they are not able to do more. Most people eat too much, even when the price is high, and it is from this eating too much, or "stuff.ng," that the doctor and the druggist make their money. Try making pies without a top crust. The ablebodied man or boy who is not doing something to win this war is a slacker. Take your hoe and help win this war that we all may not be governed by Germany.

No use, old sports—you can't come back. —That when you've bought a piece of meat, a dozen of eggs, a package of lard and a little sugar and given the grocer a five dollar bill, you're lucky to get car fare back these eatless days. --- —That a "Cullud" brother ambled into the Old City Hospital the other day and said "Doctah put me out of my misery quick."

That Doc Carrion in a little "kidding" argument with Lawyer Bruce the other day said "Bruce when you find a Negro homelier looking than you, go kill him". A few minutes later, up walked Doctor Ramsey and Bruce with a twinkle in his eye said "Doc I have to kill you," Ramsey said "Why?" "Because you are homelier than me" said Bruce.

IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of Isaac W. Smith, who departed this life January 12th, 1908, nine years ago, Ida Carter, who departed Dec. 18th, 1909, eight years ago and Emma Smith, who departed March 4, 1914, four years ago. Our precious ones from us have gone. Their voices we have loved, are still ed. Whose places vacant in our home Which can never be filled. Sadly missed by Josephine Smith, wife and mother. About one thousand heard Dr. Bacote's powerful sermon on "Go Ye Unto All the World and Preach My Gospel" at the morning services. At the evening services the pastor again preached a grand sermon on "Search Me O God and Know My Heart" which was enjoyed by all. During the day there were eight additions—three re A ceived the ordinance of baptism. The B. Y. P. U. rendered a special program and installed a new blackboard which had recently been purchased under the able leadership of Mrs. Ida Becks. The Prayer Meeting last Wednesday evening was interesting and well attended. The leaders were Miss Watson and Mr. Talbert. At the meetings of the Mission Circle Mrs. Ida Becks is giving special instructions in soul training to prepare the workers for the coming revival to be held in this Church in March. The Church is having a two dollar rally which will end the Second Sunday in March on the event of Dr. Bacote's 23rd Anniversary as pastor of this Church. Every member of this Church is urged to pay his two dollars in this rally. All soldiers and civilians visiting the city are especially invited to share our Church home. ALLEN CHAPEL. Many were in attendance Sunday. Dr. Wm. H. Thomas, the minister, occupied the pulpit, at both morning and evening services. The text of his morning sermon was: Acts 15-37:38. Subject, "The Gospel of the Second Chance for John Mark." Subject of the evening sermon, "Failures in Disciples." There were two additions. Mme.

I must say Mackey's Liniment will do all I am recommended to JOHN SAULSBERRY 2414 Highland Ave., Bell East 3757. Kansas City, Mo.

THE VALUE OF A HOME Is most keenly realized and the home itself most thoroughly enjoyed if you own it. There is an eyen greater benefit than the personal, as evidenced by the timely and sagacious words of Gov- ernor Gardner of Missouri, who spoke recently to the Negro Industrial Coun- cil meeting in Jefferson City, Jan. 12, 1918. He said to them: “Cultivate the habit of thrift and economy. Become property owners and thereby better citi- zens. This can only be done by the exercise of economy and stern self-denial, but the reward fs worth the effort. I give it for my opin- jon that the surest way for the members of your race to overcome the prejudices that have existed against you for so many years is for them to become @ race of property holders. * * *” My seyen years in the real estate business 1s at your service.

Cadigs Oe Fig OR SR BEES Gon On the Mountain By Susan E. Claggett (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) From the railroad a faint path stretched upward to a cabin high on the mountain above Horseshoe Bend. The same path continued downward to a cluster of houses, broadened into a narrow road, and came to a full stop before a rough porch, upon which several men were seated in varying degrees of comfort. They were listening to one of their number. He was reading, with a trace of impatience—as if compelling himself to be neighborly when his desire was to hasten away—the market reports, the sporting page and the stock market. But what interested him, the war news, apparently did not hold their attention. They turned deaf ears to news from the front, but were absorbed in the Army and Navy ball game that had taken place the day before in Philadelphia. With a sigh of relief, Willy Warren at last folded his paper, wished them good-day and, walking rapidly away, was soon lost to view upon the higher path. As he disappeared from sight the chair of Uncle Johnny Peyton came down on its front legs with a thud, and the old man said, addressing no one in particular: "Pears like Billy's mighty low in his mind. He's in a heap of trouble I'm thinking." "What sort of trouble, Uncle John?" a girl asked casually, as she came through the door of the post office and general store. "Now, Miss Ma'y, y'know he's 'listed an' don't know what'll beom o' his leedle gal. He's feared he'll have to go fore he kin place her." "I had not heard; but things right themselves in time, and this will be straightened out." "Maybe, Miss Ma'y, maybe. But y'know Billy's got no one, leastwise down hym. There's an old aunt in Ioway, an' I guess he's writ to her, but hain't seen fit to answer, so I reckin she's dead. Course, we-all's 'luk arfter her, but he's riz her difrunt. She's a pretty leedle gal. "Billy don't b'long hyar, y'know. He jest come. Something the matter with him. Never hearn tell of his wife. Jest came with that tgal an' she was a baby. Hired that cot cabin up yonder an' didn' make freen's till the fever tuk we-alls, then he come down an' tuk kyar of Jim," nodding toward a mountainer sitting on the steps, "then he tuk hold o' me. Reckin we'd both be in the boneyard if he hadn'." "So he made friends, after all," said the girl, "I think the child will be taken care of, Uncle Johnny." "Sure. But that's not the pint, Miss Ma'y. She's riz difrunt." His voice took on a wheedling tone. "I jest wonder if you couldn't think up some way to help Billy? He sartinly needs it!" "That would be unwarrantable interference, Uncle Johnny. I scarcely know Mr. Warren." "Don't take no stock in sich talk," said Uncle Johnny, reaching for his twist of tobacco and cutting off a piece of goodly size. "When it comes to doin' things, an' thinkin' up things, Miss May, you're right smart. You didn't know we-uns when you come to the mountains, but you now has us trained to eat from your hand—almost." She threw back her head and laughed heartily. "'Almost' is well put, Uncle Johnny; but I do not see how I can help you in this." "Twon't hurt to think erobut it, anyhow, an' p'haps you'll see light," was his concluding comment, as, with a glance toward the faintly outlined path she turned from the group and walked away. She had been in the mountain three years—at first for her health, then because it claimed her. She had heard all about Billy Warren, had occasionally met him, but save for the merest courtesy no word had passed between them. For some reason he had not impressed her pleasantly. This was probably due to the fact that he had made no effort to know better one who had made friends with all the mountain people. But the talk of old John Peyton, or some subconscious sense of trouble in the man himself as he stood silently beside her that morning, waiting for his mail, influenced her in the direction of her walk that afternoon. Yet she was not aware that she had been so influenced until she found herself watching a child dabbling bare feet in the rushing water of a tiny stream the while she hushed a corncob doll to sleep. There was no fear in the child's eyes as she raised them to the woman beside her. Instead there was a whispered "hush; you'll wake her. She's been real sick and is just going to sleep." Mary Hilton dropped upon the ground, and in an equally low voice asked what was wrong. "Daddy's says it's a case of mumps or measles, he's not sure which; but she's been so awful cross and has tired me so, he says there is no living with either of us." "Betty, to whom are you talking?" The voice came from the shadow of the cabin. "A pretty lady, honey?" "Don't tell me fairy tales, child: pretty ladies don't climb the mountain." "She looks real, daddy. Shall I pinch her and find out?" "I wouldn't. I'll come and find out for myself. There was a rustle of leaves, and Mary Hilton raised her eyes to Billy Warren's face. She did not move, and the child, with steadily advancing fingers, again asked: "Shall I pinch her, daddy?" He did not reply. Instead he drew his hand across his eyes as if uncertain as to the reality. When he did speak his voice was sadly unsteady. "Thank God! Hereafter I shall always believe in prayer." Mary looked at him thoughtfully. "You have been praying, and I am an answer to your prayer? In what way, especially?" "You have come." "You wanted me?" "Yes." "Then why did you not come so?" "I want help. I could not ask for it unless as a last resort. Offered, it is different." "And you think I will offer it?" "Judging from your goodness to the mountain people. You give comfort to them." "That is different. They are poor. In my humble way, I give help where it is needed. Years ago I took a course of training in an eastern hospital. It has stood me in good stead in my life here. But my work does not approach yours. You are a physician?" "An army surgeon, retired on account of ill health, which I have regained on the mountain. You know what that means at this time. I am ordered to Fort Oglethorpe by the 15th. That leaves me but two days, and I feared I would have to ask for that which I hope will be offered." His gesture toward the child was eloquent. "I am all she has." "If I do this thing, do you surrender her entirely, or will you claim her upon your return?" His eyes held hers with an expression quickly veiled. "I will not return." "I do not quite understand," she replied slowly. "We are strangers. You must have friends who would gladly do this for you." "Yes, but I would choose you from all the world." There was a certain controlled emotion in his voice that affected her strangely, and she rose to her feet. "Again I say that I do not understand." "That is natural." He walked the length of the level in front of the cabin and back. "Upon the eve of a great upheaval a man can allow himself a certain latitude of expression, especially when he knows it can do no harm," he said gravely. "I do not expect to return. Because I am convinced of this, I can say to you what under other circumstances would be little short of impudence, for, as you say, we are strangers. But I began to case for you when you first came to the mountain. I want you to know this, and to believe it. I could not let you know before. My wife—I do not wish to speak of her. She is dead, and I offer you not affront when I tell you that I love you. It is because of this I wish to leave Betty in your care." With troubled eyes Mary looked toward the child. "I did not imagine this." "How could you? My effort has been to keep you from knowing. Will you do this for me, now that you do know? It will be my comfort when my time comes, 'over there.' He burned from her, looking out into the limitless space. "It will be my comfort," he repeated. "Why are you so sure you will not return?" "There would be no incentive, with Betty cared for." Then it was that Mary surprised herself by saying deliberately. "Mr. Warren, if I told you that my interest—" "Interest! I would want something more than interest," he interrupted. "Would that not do for the present?" "No. It must be something more definite." For long she hesitated, then said steadily. "I think it is more than interest. I am not sure. But if an overwhelming anxiety for your safe return is an evidence of a deeper feeling, it is yours." He took her hand, raising it to his lips. "In that case, Mary Hilton, God willing. I will return to you and Betty." Goat Milk Is Valuable Milk from the goat has probably been used for food purposes ever since the advent of the first "Mrs. Gotee," and the chances are that it will until time is no more. In Europe the milk goat is one of the most popular of domestic animals, and more and more its popularity is growing in this country. What thoroughbreds we have are kept on feather mattresses, almost, and fed the best and chofest that the market affords. We are just beginning to see what the "baa baa" can really do and what it is actually worth. The Irish "Long Car." There was a time—and it was only as long ago as the last century, too—when the Irish traveled about their country on odd little cars. They were called "long cars" and they were not very different, really from the "outside cars" which are still commonly used in Ireland. But the outside car carries no more than two persons on seats, while the long car carried sometimes as many as sixteen passengers in all. 'The luggage was piled up in the middle. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1918 The American In London TOWER BRIDGE The Tower Bridge, London. GOOD Americans, when they die, go to Paris, so it is alleged. While they are alive many of them are content to spend a considerable part of their time in London. They cannot help it, for, according to Emerson, the English have made London "such a city that almost every active man, in any nation, finds himself, at one time or another, forced to visit it." In normal times a census of the strangers within our gates would disclose a large proportion from the other side of the Atlantic, says Herbert W. Horwill in Country Life. The West End shopkeeper knows this well, as a scrutiny of his windows will show. He has even gone so far in catering to the taste of the American visitor as to establish in our midst that un-English institution, the soda fountain. Tailors, tobaccoists, "dry goods" merchants—all combine to confirm the verdict that London is "the best and cheapest shopping-place in the world." No doubt, most of the Americans who find their way to this city are "translants," but some who arrive with the intention of making only a brief sojourn remain here for the rest of their days. One remembers, for instance, the Chicago millionaire who took up his permanent abode in a London club and whose decease gave Sir William Harcourt's Death Duties so magnificent a send-off. What do these Americans come out for to see? The answer is obvious—what they have no chance of seeing at home. To the citizens of a country where every church over 100 years old is regarded as an antiquity, and where the Washington sightseer, on his trip to George Washington's home, is told that he is "now approaching the ancient city of Alexandria" (dating from A. D. 1748), the treasury of historic material provided by London is of almost inexhaustible interest. In the older parts of the city nearly every step brings them into touch with some building whose associations recall a period anterior to the Declaration of Independence. To say nothing of the remains of the Roman wall, there are the Tower of London—that "sweet boon," as Artemus Ward described it—West minister Abbey and Hall, the Temple St. Paul's, and old churches and houses innumerable. His Literary Pilgrimages. A conspicuous characteristic of the American visitor is his enthusiasm for literary pilgrimages. The average Englishman, Londoner or provincial exhibits nothing like the same zeal in tracking the footprints of our great writers. St. Giles', Cripplegate, the burial place of John Milton, is probably visited by ten Americans for every one Englishman. How many Englishmen could tell you where Oliver Goldsmith was buried? Thousands of American visitors have stood reverently beside the grave. Memories of Doctor Johnson are another powerful magnet. In this connection a good story is told of how the American enthusiast is sometimes victimized by his fellow-countrymen. Mr. George Ade was one day sitting in the "Chesire Cheese" over a beefsteak pudding and a mug of ale, when there entered a Chicago woman, Boswell in hand. She had been told that the great man's autograph could still be seen penciled on one of the walls. The waiters declared they had never seen it, but with her dauntless Chicago spirit she began a long search upstairs and down. While she was upstairs a warm glow of benevolence rose in Ade's heart, and, taking a pencil from his pocket, he wrote with quiet eighteenth century flourishes on the wall behind him "Sam Johnson." On her return from upstairs the visitor promptly spotted the autograph and was overloved. "Is it not amazing," remarked Mr. Ade in telling the story, "how much happiness we can give to others by these little acts of kindness?" To the tourist from overseas even the great figures of the Victorian era wear a halo of sanctity. Carlyle's house is a constant center of attraction. Some years ago an Englishman in America, happening to enter into conversation with a negro schoolteacher, learned that one of the keenest desires of her life was to see London, and that she especially wanted to visit every place that was connected with the characters in Dickens. Places of Special Interest. Many Americans, again, spend industrious days in hunting up buildings that have some historic connection with the foundation and early development of their own communities. There is a long list of churches where eminent Americans of the colonial period were baptised: William Penn, at All Hallows, Barking; Roger Williams at St. Sulphere's; Calvert, the founder of Maryland, at St. Giles-in-the-Fields, General Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, at Martin's-in-the-Fields; and John Harvard at St. Saviour's Cathedral, Southwark, where the incident is now commemorated by a memorial window. St. Ethelburga's is of interest as the church where Henry Hudson and his crew are reported to have made their last communion the night before they sailed. The house in Newman street, occupied by Benjamin West, may be quoted as an example of many buildings whose associations appeal to American visitors almost exclusively. It would be quite a mistake, however, to suppose that to the American London serves no other purpose than to make more vivid what he has learned at school. However diligent he may be in following up its historical and literary associations, he finds time to sample its lighter side—its theaters and other entertainments, and its social festivities, in so far as he has access to them. Even that ornament of the American-learned world, Dr. Andrew D. White, the late president of Cornell university, records in his autobiography how, after working in the British museum, he found refreshment in an evening at Maskelyne and Cooke's "great temple of juggery." Yet, after all, as Oliver Wendell Holmes puts it, "the great sight is London." In the old days, before the era of motor traffic, nothing could beat the top of a horse-drawn 'bus as a means of regaining oneself with the ever-changing panorama of the streets, and, although the petrol engine has banished the more leisurely progress of that time, an outside seat on a 'bus remains unvruled as a point from which to observe the everyday life of the city. The streets themselves impress an American with their tidiness. Their paving is kept in good repair, and they are free from the litter that disfigures important thoroughfares in New York. Some of the Exceptions. As a rule, the American in London means to have a good time, and gets it. There are, of course, exceptions—people who lack the gifts of sympathy and imagination, and who accordingly miss all that is of unique interest in the scenes they visit. A man of this type was once, it is said, standing on the Terrace of the House of Commons and bragging about the glories of some river in his own state. It was a much finer river than the Thames—cleaner, wider, and so on. John Burns happened to be close by and could not stand it. "Do you know, sir," he broke in, "what that brown river is? It's liquid history." But that narrow-minded provincialism is not the prevailing mental attitude of cultivated Americans. On the contrary, the impact of London upon them would more faithfully be expressed by the passage in which James Russell Lowell, under a different figure, emphasized that sense of historic continuity which appealed so strongly to John Burns. "One thing about London," he said, "impresses me beyond any other sound I have ever heard, and that is the low unceasing roar one hears always in the air; it is not a mere accident, like a tempest or a cataract, but it is impressive, because it always indicates human will, and impulse, and conscious movement; and I confess that when I hear it I almost feel as if I were listening to the roaring loom of time." 'SUICIDE' SAVED BY ICE AND POLICE Chicago Architect Hadn't Realized How Cold the Nights Were Getting. Chicago.—Charles J. Hancox, an architect, stood on the bridge at Van Buren street, felt in his inside coat pocket to see that the note he had written was safe, and then climbed up on the lee ralling. While he is balancing himself for the leap the reader may glance at the note: "Please notify my wife, Mrs. Charles J. Hancox; my sister, Miss Lottie Hancox, 5010 West Monroe street, and S. W. Hancox of Oak Park." Mr. Hancox cast a farewell look toward the loop lights and dived. It was a good dive. He came up like a sea lion and quickly crawled on a cake of ice and began crying for help. He THE FLOOR Quickly Crawled on a Cake of Ice. hadn't realized how cold the nights were getting. Bridgetenders John Maloney and John Ryan at Harrison street heard him. Maloney threw him a life preserver. Hancox jumped from his ice cake and seized it. Then Ryan, who had notified the fire department and police, tied a rope to the railing of the bridge and let himself down hand over hand until he was treading water. He hauled Hancox to him and held him by the neck until the fireboat came and took him aboard. A police ambulance met the fireboat and Hancox was rushed to St. Luke's hospital for treatment, his hands having been frozen. Otherwise he was uninjured, it was stated. He declined to talk. Bridgetenders Maloney and Ryan also suffered frozen hands. They rubbed them in snow, put a little kerosene on them, and went back to work. NOBODY WANTS HUSBAND WHO SLEEPS WITH HORSE Cleveland.—Nobody wants a husband who insists upon sleeping in the barn with the horse. At least, that's what Mrs. Louise Chrissinger thinks. The court thought so, too, for when Mrs. Chrissinger filed her petition for divorce the court promised her a writ of separation. "He would eat his supper and stick around the house until bed time, and then he'd go out and bed down with the horse," the complainant told the udge. OREGON BOYS STAGE DUEL One Shot to Death in Effort to Relieve Monotony of Hunting Trip. Oregon City, Ore—Leslie Ledoux, aged sixteen, is dead at Park Place, near here, because he and his boy companions staged a duel in the woods to break the ennui of an unsuccessful hunting trip. Unable to find any game, the boys decided to stage a battle, and Ledoux armed with a magazine, 22 caliber rifle, agreed "to stand off" Cecil Green, thirteen, and Lake Smith, fifteen, each armed with single shot 22s. Crouching behind a stump and only rising to fire, Ledoux stood his companions off for 15 minutes, and then dropped dead with a bullet hole in his forehead. His companions went home and told their parents Lexoux was sick, but later confessed to the sheriff what had happened. AUTO ON PILOT OF ENGINE Lincoln, Ill.-Carried 50 yards in an automobile on the pilot of an engine, was the unusual experience of John I. Miller, his father-in-law, N. A. Serner and Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Rickards. None was seriously hurt. The party was accompanying Mr. Rickards on a questionnaire-filling trip. The machine did not even upset. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS Alien Enemies Must Avoid the District of Columbia WASHINGTON.—Allen enemies, beware. Keep out of the District of Columbia. Don't even come near the District line. If you do you will be locked up instantly. Such is the warning of the United States attorney's sent to the District Jail. The man, who formerly lived at 3721 Conduit road, pleaded homesickness for his wife and babies. He had coached his family as to what to do in case he was apprehended and they assisted him to hide. This is his second trip to Washington. He stayed in Baltimore for a while and, according to his story, he failed to secure work and-took a chance and came back to Washington. Another alien, Joseph Obrecht, said to be an Alsatian, was informed by Marshal Splain that his joining an Alsatian society, of which the French ambassador is president, did not make him a Frenchman, and he must go out with the rest of the German subjects. Obrecht came back to Washington after a visit to New York city and again took up the occupation of a chef. He was placed on the train for Baltimore. Bootlegger Sadie Picked Wrong Man for a Customer Bootlegger Sadie Picked Wrong Man for a Customer DETECTIVE HARRY EVANS ran into a walking "bootlegger" one morning while on his way to police headquarters. He was about to board a car near his home when he saw Sadie Patterson, colored, lugging a heavy suitcase. Sadie gave him a smile and the produced the whisky. She was arrested, to her astonishment, and taken to police headquarters on the charge of violating the Sheppard act. Washington has become literally as dry as a bone. It has been that way since last autumn, and that is one of the most striking phases of the wartime changes a stranger notes here.

She worked in the post office of her home town, and is the kind of material which should be invaluable to the government in these stressful times. She visited the civil service commission. "Are you a resident of Washington?" asked the clerk. Her home, the applicant explained, was in Texas. "Then," said the clerk, "under the regulations you must go to Texas and take your examination." "But," protested the applicant, "if you want clerks as badly as you say____." The clerk was inexorable. "You must go back to Texas and take the examination," he repeated. And Uncle Sam thus lost a clerk. A prominent expert—one whose time is supposedly of considerable value to the government—was recently ordered to make some tests in a Western city. He went there two months ago, stayed two weeks and returned to Washington without having done anything—for the simple reason that none of the material required to make the tests had been sent to him. About a month ago he made a second journey. The offices in which he was put to work were so cold that the work could not be carried on. About half of the required material had arrived. He came back to Washington. He made his third trip to this city to do the work he set out to do two months ago, and he is there today waiting for the necessary paraphernula to arrive.

In the ranks one finds the majority of soldiers from the upper class of Russian society, and by their sides fare serfs and peasants accustomed to working in the flelds of Siberia and Russia with the men of. thelr households. Ladfes of Russia are noted for their proficiency In outdoor games and sports; they are great walk- ers, skaters, horseback riders and devotees to sledding, games that require vigor and furnish ex- cltement, and to their summer and winter carni- vals and pageants, which occur several times a year. At these times it is their pleasure to in- ‘dulge {n native folk dances, and daneing on the ‘ice is a pastime to which they are devoted, and to which, I believe, they owe much of thelr muscular development and rapidity and ease of action. ‘The life of the Russian woman has bred her to war's service; she does not care for afternoon teas or any form of indoor amusement during the daytime, Instead you will find her engaged in active sports on the frozen Neva, beside the trolley tracks that Unk icebound towns in a chain of gay activity, even more bustling than when boats ply the river in summer and fetch and carry between Russla’s ‘capital and the Neva’s outlying villages. _ And now you will find women at the switches along the shining miles of {ce-floored single track ‘of the Neva’s winter trolley lines. In singular contrast to the sturdy, mycular bulla of Russian women, stocky of form and short of stature, are Russian men of the upper class, who, when they acquire refinement and high-breeding, seem, also, to become weak and effeminate, Not only in trench work, but in the ordinary avo- cations of men one now finds Russlan women, Street-car conductors and motorwomen handle the traflle with efficiency. Conductors call out the streets, and from the second belt on the man's coat that tops their blue skirts, they draw checks of varying colors and hand them out In receipt of fares, These colors represent from one to five fares, and also indicate the distance a passenger expects to travel, One fare now costs fifteen ko- pecks, or two and a half cents, Under ordinary conditions fifteen kopecks were worth five cents, But two gud a half cents is a lot of money in Rus- sia today. On the other hand, while women fil places on railroads and street cars, there are still to be found many men driving motortrucks, Another ayocation of women Is the driving of draskeys—Russian diumpcarts—a flat, two-wheeled wagon drawn by one or two horses, In the latter case one horse is always harnessed outside the shafts, leaving the burden to be borne by the ant- mal Inside of them, ‘This peculiar method of harnessing Is even car- ried out in ambulances at the front, and a wound- ed man transported In this fashion usually has the life bounced out of him on his way to the hospital, Sometimes, indeed, such makeshift ambulances are drawn by men, for life 1s accounted so cheap in Russia that the Russian will not use horses when men can serve the purpose of draft animals, Not only men, but women, take the place of horses, ‘They often draw their field kitchens about, arid bivouac to cook thelr good bread, made of wheat and rye flour; thelr soup, horse meat and vegetables. Russian horse meat 1s not halt bad, ‘and that 18 thelr principal army meat. Horses are plentiful, but very small, and they do not furnish wuch baef, so that numbers are slaughtered to obtain a sutlicient supply. I should judge that Russian ponyskin coats, which have often been so popular In America, ought to be cheaper than ever this season if there has been any way of curing and transporting the skins of these glossy- coated animals of the steppes. Women's army kitchens are adequately sup- plied with horse meat, und from Indies of rank to serfs the women soldiers have learned how to Prepare palatable food. ‘They have also learned not only to draw their field pieces, but actually carry them, All women are enrolled in the infantry division of the army, so that theirs are machine guns, which three or four women can carry together. Some of these guns are light enough to be borne on the shoulders of one woman, While Russians are not good marksmen they are expert at bayonet work, and there is nothing the Germans fear more than a Russian bayonet en- counter, when the sturdy dwarf of the North not only sticks his ehemy through, but has an appal- Ung habit of ifting him up on the bayonet. 1 saw one victim of this shocking act slide off the keen blade, dead, And if the Germans fear such attacks of unin- spired Russinn men, they dread the savage charge of fiery Russian women, and when they succeeded in capturing three in battle they tortured them to death by way of satisfying splte aguinst those hundreds of young women who lay slain—murtyrs to patriotism, I watched women soldiers dig out their own trenches, where rain or bombardment had caused them to fallin; pull around their heavy ummuni- tlon wagons and guns, as well as their field kiteh- ens, and set up their barbed-wire entanglements, Many of them were noblewomen and wealthy mem- bers of the “upper froth” of Russia; quite a num- ber were wives and mothers whose husbands were fighting In another sector on the line; and every one was a volunteer, + / With courage went cheerfulness, In the midst of the hardships of trench lfe—nnd they can scarcely be overestimated—these women sang bal- lads und catchy songs as they Worked at the busl- ness of death, Some played on musical Instru- ments that they had brought into the trenches, while most of them found time to attend to the eom- fort of thelr pets, especially the buttalion mascots —a parrot and a cat. All were short of clothing—simple as was their uniform. It consisted of a grayish khaki colored material, like washed-out khak!, made in overalls and jumper, with a tight-fitting high collar and belt, They wore the same boots as were used by men, and some had their feet encased in shoes and puttees. One of the chief difficulties in equipping women has been to fit the “upper froth” with boots, and to the rigors of trench life has been ‘added the discomfort and, I fancy, pain of dainty feet in coarse, heavy unaccustomed boots, stand- ing often in a mire of mud and water. Women soldiers had shifts of ten days in first- Une trencties of the enemy, with four hours on and four hours off duty. At the least unusual noise or sudden skirmish the whole 2,500 women were ‘out and 1 readiness for battle. Every thirty feet In the women's sector stood a “post,” or sentry, who fired without ceasing. It was her duty to call out, on occasion, the soldiers who rested in thelr malodorous dugouts on shelves that protruded from the walls along each side, Mere children were many of these modern Ama- zons, for their ages vary from fifteen to thirty-five years, and for ten days on a stretch they had no opportunity to change or remove their clothing. When not fighting or on sentry duty the women rest as best they may in their dugouts, where roar of guns does not penetrate very loudly. No ven tilation reaches these deep burrows under the hills except that at the entrance to the trench, and con- ditfons are offensive to every sense of comfort and sanitation, Our Red Cross commission sought to remedy some of the worst features of Russian trench life, but modern war fs one of unbelievable horrors, not the least of which is the Insect pest- lence of the trenches. Every ten days a section of trench is cleaned up ‘and Its occupants are stripped, sprayed with an {nsect destroyer, brushed down with brooms, given a bath and clean clothes. In singular contrast to the many antiquated methods of battlefield exist- ence common in the Russian army are comfortable bath trains provided for the soldiers’ fortnightly bath, As the world knows, the Battalion of Death was organized by Madame Vera Butchkareff, who lived in small Cossack settlement in Siberla at the outbreak of the war. When Madame Butchkareft’s husband was killed in battle she formed the Legion of Death, mainly to shame Russian men Into ac- tion, and partly to relieve the awful suspense and monotony of village life far from the scene of strife, Therefore, in the original ranks of women warriors were to be found hardy peasants from the vast agricultural region of Siberia, and many such women belong to the present regiments of feml- nine soldiers, Far different from thelr once peaceful, remote lives fs the terrific action of the battlefront, where instead of distant sparks of stars in quiet skles, they witness clusters of shells shrieking upward, five a minute, and bursting around a moving speck in the heavens—some airplane target for great guns, Timed to explode at 5,000 or 6,000 feet, as well as the distance of the plane can be gauged, the shell turns to fall at the designated height and shrapnel sprays the night skies with vivid foun- tains of flame. In the great Russian upheaval Siberia has deter- mined to achieve an independence of {ts own. I found the people in this vast storehouse of na- ture’s wealth distinct in type from those In any other part of Russia, They are a mixture of Mon- gol and Russ; a peculiar young-old folk. Nowhere else in the world have I found as strange looking people. ‘The men have a drawn expression and fixed, staring eyes. Women, too, exhibit this char- acteristic to a murked degree, and everywhere one finds the form of youth surmounted by the facial appearance of age. I wondered whether this ex- pression proceeded from the squalor of thelr meager lives. ‘They are an exceedingly dirty, filthy people; ragged for the most part, and with feet shod in a sort of straw sandal, With a land of rare agricultural, timber and mineral wealth sur rounding them, they yet wear ca appearance of stolid dejection, HAD A GOOD FATHER. , The store was crowded with customers when a child walked n and with an important air ap- proached the owner of the store, held up a quar- ter, and remarked tn a high treble: “My father said I could buy anything I wanted for my sup- per.” “Well, you have a good father,” sald the store keeper. “Yes," replied the kidlet, “and its me that knows it.” IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL @y fF. 0, LESSON of the Sunday School Course ef the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.)

Both Master and friends are soon to meet a great ein- ner but first they must encountered @ great storm. 1, The Great Storm. The Master of forces sleeps calmly on. Why not? Who else could afford to be so appar- ently Indifferent! Not so these dis- ciples, They have yet to know him perfectly, and hence it is natural that in their alarm they should awaken him as they view the rapidly filling boat, and exclaim, “Master, earest thou not that we perish?” Weary and un- concerned as he appears to have been, he arose and rebuked the wind and the waves. Wind and waves are mate- rial things nd therefore not suscep- tible to rebuke. Jesus fronted the in- tangible eavse; he rebuked the devil who was responsible for this turbul- ence; and the calm was commensurate with the storm, The Psalmist says, “Great peace have they that love thy law.” Individuals and nations are now in the midst of a “great storm,” a day of crime, stress, distress an@ tragedy; struggle, temptation, grief and loss, and the cry “Lord save us!” is growing louder and more tnsistent, | Some of us look for the early return of the king, but all should listen for his words “Peace be still” for it 19 _|the peace which he alone can give _| that has power to calm the growing || turbulence of this age. I, The Great Sinner. Reaching the other side, they entered the land of Gadara and there met a demoniac who is, we believe, a type of tae great sin- ner, for he was, (a) without restraint ; “no man could bind him” (v, 8); (b> he was injuring himself, “cutting,” ete. (v. 5); (¢) he was separated from his friends, “dwelt among the tombs” (v, 8); (a) he was “unclean” (v. 2). ‘There was also evidence of the futility of human resolutions and the vainness of attempt at control or reformation (v. 4). “No man had the strength to tame him.” Note the tor- ment of his life (v. 7). As he healed this man, the people saw their illegal gain interfered with, and hence the selfish request that Jesus should “de> part out of their coasts” (v, 17), and this even In the face of what had beers done for the stricken one, Selfishness knows no law. ‘The Jews could not eat pork but they were raising it to sell to the Gentiles of the land, which amounted to an insult to thelr God, and an evasion of thelr law, Jesus “permitted” the demons to enter the swine thereby rebuking the avarice of the people and conclusively showing’ that they had left the demoniac, Luke tells us (8:37) that the Gadarenes were “taken with a great fear.” Fear of what? Surely no fear of the Gall- lean teacher, but rather of the effect: of the restored man’s testimony om their material prosperity. Big bust ness will have many sins to account for In the face of greed for gain while ignoring the ery of the affiicted ami@ unsuitable and unsanitary lving con- ditions, Church members have ne right to condemn the liquor traffic, while they rent stores to carry on thi destructive business, A suggested outline for this lessom would be as follows: 1.

Text, "No Man Liveth to Himself Alone." Men and women from every vocation in life came and knelt at the altar for prayer. There were six additions to the church, while still eleven knelt morning and evening for prayer. Sunday seemed much like a great revival at Ebenezer. Rev.

All captains in Classes 3, 6, 14 and 19 made a good showing in the first report, also those in Classes 8, 9, 15, 20 and 5, 2, 12 and 17. Some of them in the other classes made a good showing but the majority did not come up to the standard....The next drama, "Out in the Streets," March 21, by the Who-So-Ever-Will Club. This Club, under the talented leader, Mrs. Ola Sewell, has been a great help to Ebenezer during the severe winter and is leaving no stone unturned to raise the one hundred dollar assessment for May. The play is the best of its kind written, bearing a strong moral. Mrs. Osborne is assisting Mrs. Sewell in training the characters. Mme. Lillian Tuley is also rehearsing a jubilee chorus to appear on the same night between the acts. One of the biggest affairs of the season will be the drama, "Out in the Streets" and the Jubilee Chorus March 21....The Art Club, through its president, Mrs. Bessie Mason, presented the church a beautiful large clock. This is another wide-awake club with a wide-awake leader that has greatly assisted Ebenezer this winter....A great program will be rendered at the Sunday School tomorrow by the Sunday School Missionary Department.
