Your attention is called to the efforts that are being made to elect a Negro Alderman in one or several wards of this city. The time is Ripe, Full and Supreme-Every Negro is expected to do his duty. This is the day for everything that is progressive. If World Democracy is all that its advocates claim for, it, then it is bound to spell this much for a submerged class: Taxation with Representation—Votes also Offices—Unreserved Industrial Opportunity—Protection of Life and Public Social Justice. These are the things we expect to realize immediately, if you please. But we expect to work and fight, and this we are doing. Our "War Aims" consist in meeting the exactions of Patriotism and the Draft Laws of our Country as Good citizens and at the same time extricate ourselves from the position of a Foot-Ball in this same Country's Social, Economic and Political schemes. We are tired of being mis-represented, or rather not being represented at all. We want someone, in all branches of endeavor, to make intercession for this Race of ours. We believe it is imperative. Remember, White men will never, never give or allow you these things willingly, therefore, we must proceed to take them and we are. Chicago, New York, Baltimore, New Jersey and others are glorious instances of such. Now why not Kansas City? Mr. Roosevelt tells us that: "Nine tenths of Wisdom is being Wise in time." We will heed this injunction and do some intelligent campaigning for Race representation in the City Council. We deserve it—We have a right to do it—We must have it. The engagement of Miss Josephine Robinson, formerly of Weston, Mo., to Mr. Anderson Dillard of Weir City, Kan., is announced. Both are highly respected young people.

The lynchings and burnings of human beings in this country still goes merrily along without protest and the people are struck with awe at the audacity of the same—but, like Pharaoh of old, the men higher up will not hearken to the cry of, "Let my people g!o" And the question, "How long, oh Lord? How Long?" still remains unanswered. Commenting on the situation, the following lines from the Dallas Express appear: "America leads the world. Up till Feb. 13, 1918 A. D., no nation except the 'Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave' has burned at the stake a human being. Countries—heathen, barbaric or civilized, desiring the most up-to-date methods of destroying human beings, should write the Christian hearted white people of either Tennessee or Mississippi. Just now they hold the front of the stage." Further on the same paper says: "Tennessee burned her human beings as a closing feature of her 1917 civilization. Mississippi opened up her bid for recognition by a fire at the stake in the early days of 1918. Tennessee, not to be outdone, comes back and offers up another Afro-American as a burnt off ring on the second month of the year of our Lord, the one thousand, nine hundred and eighteen. Other Southern states will please take notice and make a showing. Nothing succeeds like success. BITTEN BY VICIOUS DOG. BITTEN BY VICTIMS DOG. Mrs. D. A. Willis, 2610 Highland avenue, wife of the well known real estate dealer and business man, was severely bitten by a vicious brindle bull dog last Tuesday evening about 9 o'clock. She was knocked to the pavement by the vicious animal and had it not been for persons rushing to her aid after hearing her cries for assistance, she would have been seriously injured. As it was she suffered a lacerated hand and arm and a heavy coat she was wearing was almost torn to shreds. Dr. D. M. Miller, assisted by Miss Laura Brown the skilled nurse, attended her injuries. The 'dog was ordered killed by the authorities. There is a possibility that damage suit will be filed against the owners on account of her injuries. COLORED CHILDREN'S IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION will be held the 17th instead of the 10th at Lincoln High School, 3 p. m. Every member and friend should come and bring your neighbor. Let us make every effort to secure a suitable home for our neglected and wayward boys and girls. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1918. A group of the children attending the "Open Air" School at Lincoln School, this city, conducted under the supervision of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society and supervised by Dr. T. C. Brown. Kansas City's First Open Air School for Negro Children a Complete Success. A new and interesting venture that has passed the experimental stage is the Open Air School for Negro Children, located at Lincoln Ward School and established September 10, 1917, under the auspices of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society. Mr. Walter Root, president of the organization, has spared no pains, time or money to make this experiment a success, and has been ably assisted by Prof. J. E. Herriford, Miss Grace White, Miss Deatrice Sydnor and Dr. T. C. Brown. The ages of the children attending this school are from 8 to 14. Much of the success of this undertaking is due to the tireless energy of Dr. T. C. Brown. The open air school is not for tubercular children, as many eron- A group of the children attending the supervision of the A eously think, but for anemic children. The first day about eighteen children were examined, and up to this date 80 have been examined. There are now twenty-six enrolled. The underfed children are being cared for also, but thus far space will not permit the enrollment to increase. Each child is furnished with an army cot, sleeping blanket, eskimo suit, boots, weigh- Mr. Charles H Community Expert —AT Men's Meeting o Sunday, March Subject—"Playing ing slip, bath towels and rubber cap. Each child is weighed and measured twice a month and examined whenever necessary. Shower baths were installed for their use and a registered nurse is in attendance daily. The physician calls three times per week. They are given shower baths semi-weekly and are fed daily at 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. If necessary each child sleeps three quarters of an hour per day. Special instructions are given in breathing exercises. When considered necessary the nurse, teacher and physician visits the home of the child and leaves instructions for its care. WINS BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT Miss Eloise Lewis, formerly of Kansas City, Mo., manicurist in the Mecca Barber Shop, won her breach of promise suit filed a year ago when the same came to trial before Judge Bowles, who sent the case to Judge Baldwin to be tried before a jury. The jury brought in a verdict in favor of Miss Lewis for $2,250 as damages. Ellis & Westbrooks, 3000 South State street, were the attorneys. The defendant is a white man.—Chicago Defender. Heuston Shelton made a flying trip to Oklahoma City on business. NEGROES BACK ON THE JOB. Management Well Satisfied With the Change That Was Caused by Walkout. Wednesday was a day of "thrills" for the Hotel Baltimore as a result of the strike of white waiters and their replacement by Negro waiters. It was breakfastless morning at the hotel and there was a similar void at luncheon time, but there was rythmic step and urbane service in the various dining rooms—of the big hotel at night—for Negroes were at work. The Baltimore formerly employed Negro waiters, but changed to white service, taking on a crew of mixed nationalities—sort of a "congress of nations," as Manager Newhart expresses it. "Now," said Manager Newhart, "we have an all-American crew." Hardly had the Negroes become settled in their work when the strikers. the "Open Air" School at Lincoln Sc nti-Tuberculosis Society and supervised numbering about 100, and supplemented by about 300 sympathizers, formed a parade and marched through the principal downtown streets, finally reaching the Twelfth street entrance of Hotel Baltimore. There the parade halted and overtures were made to employees of the Hotel Muehlebach attaches, however, did not leave their posts, it being un- AR—— Howard Mills for the School Board THE—— of the Y.

Topeka, March 1.—George Washington Jackson, Negro bandmaster of Topeka, has offered his entire band, men, uniforms and instruments, to the War Department. He wants the band to go with the Three Hundred and First stevedore regiment. He says the boys will sure make music that will cause the stevedores to hustle. So will his offer has not been accepted. When you eat cornbread instead of wheat bread think of the victory you are bringing to us that much sooner. the crowd was dispersed, with the exception that a few pickets were allowed to remain. So long as they continue moving, the police will offer no interference. The strikers carried banners in their parade. Although there was considerable noise and much excitement the demonstration did not reach the riot status and no one was injured and no arrests were made.

Misfortune seems to be the visitor, in that death and migration have thinned the ranks of relatives and friends among us, and if straw shows the drift of the wind, we can infer from what we hear that some of our active and promising young men are to leave for the training camps this month. Of course, there is much guessing as to the young men making up the first class, but guessing is our privilege. It is certain that a number going are to be missed.

Hermine's Neighbors By EDITH WELLS (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) The good neighbor rocked back and forth slowly before the crackling bank of embers on Hermine Whipple's hearth, and from time to time sipped the cup of steaming chocolate that Hermine had set beside her on the little teakwood stand. "It really does seem a shame, Hermine," she said, rocking back, "that you should have no one to share it with," rocking forward and looking through spectacles into Hermine's face. Then a sip of the chocolate. "My husband said only this morning, 'What a shame that there are no nice bachelors about here'—you mustn't mind, Hermine, that is just his way—'what a shame, there isn't some one to share that nice warm house these cold days', and really, I must say, Hermine, this is the warmest place I've been in for days. With coal so short and the wind so nipping, I'm sure I don't see how you do it. Why, this fire here makes the room perfect, and it's not a bit close, either." Hermine leaned over in her rocker and reflilled the neighbor's chocolate cup from the chocolate pot that she kept warm by the side of the hearth. "The cups are very small," she urged, and then: "Oh, it's just the way these grates are built. Then, you know, my grandfather made quite a hobby of laying fires, and old Rachel and I learned from him. But I'm sorry," she smiled, "that no one can share it. Do come often, if you find it comfortable, and I'll try to, get some of the factory girls to come up for supper. There are some who are really quite in distress this winter. They must be cold." "Oh, it isn't the poor only who suffer. Why, no one can get coal, and most folk haven't the knack you have with wood fires. Why, Mrs. Dalrymple has not had any coal for a week, and really she has to stay in bed to keep warm. She tells people she's ill; but she told me in confidence that it was simply that she hated to get up in the cold. And there is Mr. Denslow Gray, next door"—here the neighbor looked up from her chocolate cup and rocked forward at the same time, to study Hermine's face. "Mr. Gray, you know, hasn't any coal at all, and they say that he has all sorts of money, in spite of the way he lives—alone in that big house, with just his man Moses. I'm really afraid he'll take pneumonia. Poor Mr. Gray! It seems so strange he never married. Still, he isn't old—only forty, and I suppose there are a good many women would be glad to have him. Still, he must be very cold there." And then, rising to go, the neighbor murmured on: "I am so glad that you are warm enough, Hermine. Yes, I'll come again real soon, you are so comfortable"—then draining her cup—"such delicious chocolate!" Hermine saw her good neighbor to the door, and then calling through a door that led to the kitchen she summoned her woman of all work and sole companion, Rachel. The plump old colored woman hobbled in and, taking the chair the good neighbor had vacated, answered Hermine's questions. Yes, old Moses had been begging a little wood from their plentiful pile every morning. He said the master had no coal, and Moses' rheumatiz was so bad he could cut no wood till it got warmer. The cold weather always stiffened Moses' arms just that way. "Please tell Moses tomorrow," said Hermine, with a confidential tone to her good woman, "that he can't have any more wood. Tell him—but not as if I suggested it—that you think if they want more wood Mr. Gray had better ask me for it. And, Rachel, you might order two nice chickens tomorrow—one for that soup you make with the gumbo and another to roast; and see that you have a good fire in the range; and you might make crullers tomorrow—and if Moses begs any crullers for Mr. Gray you tell him he can't have them." The colored woman looked her surprise, but only rocked back and forth. "Yes, Miss Hermine," she said, "I always did think you were too good—it's a long time I've had to hand crullers and things over the fence on account of Mr. Gray. I certainly think you are showing good sense, Miss Hermine. I reckon Mr. Gray will be pretty cold without the wood, but it sure does serve him right." The next day Moses begged for wood in vain, and at ten o'clock the morning after Mr. Gray himself called and asked to see Miss Hermine. It was a most unusual occurrence. There was not, as some of the neighbors supposed, any feud between the houses of Whipple and Gray, but for ten years the bachelor had never called on his spinster neighbor. Then Hermine, recently left alone in her rambling old house, was twenty-five and Denslow Gray was thirty. He had called often then, till gossiping tongues had cut his calls short. He had heard through Moses that neighbors were expecting an engagement between himself and his neighbor, and so annoyed was he at the interference that the calls had ceased. He left the neighborhood and lived in the city for several years, and if was only within the last few years, when apparently all gossip had ceased, that he returned. On this momentous morning he called very formally and requested his neighbor, with great formality, to sell him a little wood. He regretted having to Soldiers Want Books--And Are Getting Them annoy her, but he had heard from Moses that she had plenty, and, owing to the coal shortage, he was actually suffering from the cold. As he spoke Hermine led him to the corner of the living room nearest to the crackling embers on the hearth. The only chair available for him was the comfortable one the good neighbor had found so inviting. The fire was unusually inviting, and the rows of Temple illies that bloomed on a stand near a sunny window at one side of the room gave a suggestion of warmth and cheer that captivated the neighbor. He rose to go, and then resumed his seat when Hermine went to the kitchen door and called to Rachel to ask her whether she could spare a little wood. At the door she whispered: "Hurry in with a pot of chocolate and nice buttered toast. Look surprised when you see Mr. Gray, and make a move to take the chocolate away. Hurry, Rachel." Hermine walked slowly back to the fireplace. "My woman is looking to see whether we have any wood chopped," she was saying, and then the old woman entered with the tray. She started at the sight of the caller and pretended to return to the kitchen. "That's all right, Rachel; you may bring it in," said Hermine. And then, turning to Mr. Gray, she went on: "You see, I usually have chocolate at this time on cold mornings. Rachel, another cup please. Oh! please, Mr. Gray, let me give you a little—it is so warm." A half hour later, when the caller rose to go for the third time, he asked Hermine whether he might send Moses over at once with a basket for a little wood; they actually had no fuel to cook dinner. Hermine looked puzzled. She said the wood was in a shed at the end of the garden, and that the man who came to carry the wood had the key. She was sorry, and then: "Won't you share my own very simple dinner? I believe Rachel is roasting a chicken. It is beedness day, you know, and Rachel is very patriotic. She has made crullers—I can't offer you very much. Please stay, and Rachel will call to your man Moses to have him get a bite with her in the kitchen." Mr. Gray accepted the invitation, though as he did so something that he mistook for his conscience pricked him. He felt that he was breaking down a barrier that it had taken him ten years to build up. At six that afternoon Mr. Gray still lingered. He was playing cribbage with his spinster neighbor before the fire, with the light of a skillfully arranged bracket-lamp that threw just the right shadows on the board and a mellow, becoming glow on Hermine's face, in the kitchen Rachel was making savory coffee. A pan of johnny cake was browning beautifully in the oven, and a broller of bacon was splitting on the fire. Rachel was laughing to herself—or rather to old Moses, who sat watching in admiration, with a growing appetite, at one side of the stove. Hermine did not even ask her neighbor to stay to tea—it seemed to be such a matter of course for him to remain there in the glow of her fire rather than to go home to his own barnlike abode to feed upon cold meat and damp, chilled bread. When Rachel had cleared away the things Mr. Gray drew his chair closer to that of Hermine. "You're a wonderful woman, Hermine," he said. "I made up my mind once that you were cold; but you've been thawing out my heart today—my heart and incidentally my fingers. I know it is only charity on your part. You are doing it in the same spirit that you had the factory girls here last night. The worst part of going home isn't the fact that it is as cold as a barn—it's because I'll have to leave you." Hermine's expression showed complete amazement. She told Mr. Gray that never in the world had she imagined that he might want to marry her—the fact was that Mr. Gray had not expressed his sentiment in just those words—but she did hate to have him go home in the cold. Her guest room was very warm; Rachel kept a fire there. She wondered whether it might not be arranged for him to stay. And that is how it happened that about eight o'clock that night Denslow Gray and Hermine Whipple roused the minister from where he huddled by his own meager grate fire. "We've been intending to be married for some years," Denslow explained, "and now we want to spring a surprise on the neighbors. Yes, it is rather cold," he answered, "but an old bachelor doesn't have time to think of the temperature on his wedding day." Eskimos Lunar Myth. An Eskimo myth relates that "when a girl was at a party someone told his love for her by shaking her shoulders after the manner of the country. She could not see who it was in the dark hut; she smeared her hand with soot, and when he came back she blackened his cheek with her hand. When a light was brought she saw that it was her brother and fled. He ran after her and followed her, but as she came to the end of the earth she sprang out into the sky. Then she became the sun and he the moon, and this is why the moon is always chasing the sun through the heavens, and why the moon is sometimes dark as he turns his blackened cheek toward the earth." Good for Some Love Letters. A letter written with a solution of lodge of starch in water is perfectly legible for a few days. It is not, properly speaking, in the "invisible" category—at all events, for a while. But writing thus made has the advantage that after a week or two it fades out and vanishes forever, leaving no evidence that can be used against its author. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1918 TYPICAL LIBRARY BUILDING AT CAMP DIX TYPICAL LIBRARY BUILDING AT CAMP DIX BRIGHTEN the dull hours of American soldiers and sailors, whether they be at training camps, on warcraft, on transports or back of the trenches in France, the American Library Association War Service has turned loose a stream of books BRIGHTEN the dull hours of American soldiers and sailors, whether they be at training camps, on warcraft, on transports or back of the trenches in France, the American Library Association War Service has turned loose a stream of books which is destined to become one of the most powerful factors in winning the fight for liberty. Already the efforts of the association have been crowned by signal success and this, in spite of the fact that as late as the end of last summer it had nothing but a concrete plan and a determination to put that idea into operation. Since the association set for itself the task of putting into the hands of the soldiers and sailors the books it felt they needed and would appreciate it has, by an intensive campaign carried on last autumn, raised a million and a half dollars; has procured, through donation and by purchase, more than half a million books which it has assorted and sent out; with the $220,000 donated by the Carnegie corporation for the purpose, has erected camp library buildings in 34 camps and has others in the course of construction; has opened a dispatch station at one of the points of embarkation from which books are being shipped to France and has got together a force of trained workers to carry out its plans on a gigantic scale The headquarters of the American Library Association War Service are at the library of congress. Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of congress, is the director. Assistants to the director are Carl H. Milan, librarian of the public library of Birmingham, Ala., and Joseph L. Wheeler, librarian of the public library of Youngstown, O. George B. Utley of Chicago, secretary of the American Library association, is executive secretary of the war service. William A. Slude, head of the periodical division of the library of congress, and P. L. Windsor, director of the library school of the University of Illinois, are also on the headquarters staff. Keep Down Expense. It has been the determination of Doctor Putnam and his associates in the war work to keep overhead expenses down to a minimum. Much of the most important work of the service is being done by volunteers and experts drawn from libraries all over the country who are working only for the salaries they receive from their regular occupations. The standard salary of the camp librarians is $100 a month, and by obtaining board at the Y. M. C. A. or at the camp mess the cost of subsistence is held to a low figure. To the war service the most gratifying result of its work so far is the tremendous demand for books, a demand so great and so wide in its range as to prove conclusively to the association that it has a definite field of endeavor and one which is bringing untold happiness to thousands of men. At all the camp libraries a system of book requests has been installed and it is giving accurate information on what the men want to read. To the great surprise of the older army officers the draft men are calling continuously for serious books. Fiction naturally leads, but not by so wide a margin as one who gave but casual thought to the matter might surmise. For example, a day's record at the camp library at Camp Meade, Md., the following subjects were represented: French history, mechanics and strategy in war, self-propelled vehicles, hand grenades, field entrenchments, bridges, chemistry, physics, astronomy, geology, hydraulics, electricity, medieval history, calculus, civil engineering, geography, American history, surveying, materials of construction, general history, masonry, concrete. GREAT OYSTERS ON THE NILE Discovery Made by Engineers is at Present Chiefly of Interest to the Scientist. Government engineers constructing a bridge from Boulae to Ghezireh, while boring for the erection of the piers, came across the remains of an old building, on which were found clinging a large number of oysters of a giant species. Some of them have most perfect mother-of-pearl. They along and finally the "What had halted "What the "susp "Thu had a "st "'Sh it by from It to There man leaped main.

Stevenson, the author, who is camp librarian at Camp Sherman, O., says that the first three requests that came to him were, first, for a book on the valuation of public utilities; second, for a book on conservation of national resources, and, third, for a Roumanian dictionary. He supplied the first two and later furnished the Roumanian dictionary. A young soldier walked into Mr. Stevenson's office and asked for a book on motors. Mr. Stevenson found one which looked highly technical. The young soldiers turned over the leaves and handed it back. "Shucks," he said, "I drew the pictures for this book. I want something more advanced." Mr. Stevenson promptly sent for a more advanced book. Public Libraries Help. A system of borrowing books from public libraries all over the country has proven a great aid to the camp librarians and they have been making the most of this privilege. All the libraries are doing their bit toward making the leisure hours of the soldiers happy by lending the camps what they need. The camp Librarians have found out that an extremely high percentage of the soldiers want to study. Most of them are ambitious to rise and are taking advantage of the opportunities offered them by the American Library association to read serious books. Because of the demand for serious literature the association has determined to spend most of the money it has for serious books and to look to the public to donate fiction and light literature. In the near future it will launch an intensive campaign for gift books. Judging from the freedom with which the public has given books so far the association has no misgivings as to the outcome of its campaign. The reason the campaign has not been made before is that the association wanted to perfect its organization and arrange for the prompt handling of the great flood of books it is expecting. So far the standard of books donated has been high. Few persons have shown an inclination to rid their library shelves of useless volumes at the expense of the soldiers and sailors. On the contrary, the best books have been given. Occasionally undesirable books are sent it, but they are promptly thrown away by the librarian. In fact, those who might be inclined to send such books may as well save the energy it would take to dispatch them. They will never reach the soldiers. Before its camp library buildings were completed the association distributed its books through the chapains of the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Red Cross and other organizations, which gladly volunteered to handle them. These organizations are still assisting in camp distribution by receiving books at their stations. The A. I. A. has established belong to what is called the Aetheria Nilotica, and traces of this species are found all over Egypt, but above the present level of the Nile. Their existence in such places has greatly helped scientists in determining previous courses of the river. The Nile oyster has some interesting comrades in the Nile crab and the lanistes, a sort of snail, which differs from the ordinary snail in that it has its spiral wound in the reverse direction. It remains to be seen whether this oyster is of an edible nature. READING ROOM IN CAMP SHERMAN LIBRARY its own automobile delivery system at all the camps where its libraries have been completed, and daily deliveries are made to all of these "branches" and stations. The men are allowed to take books out of the library and keep them from a week to two weeks. There is no penalty attached to overtime retention of a book. In fact, penalties are not necessary, for the men appreciate the books so thoroughly that they are assisting the camp librarians in every possible manner. Sending Books to France. With its system of camp librarians well organized, the American Library Association War Service is gradually developing its overseas service. By establishing a dispatch station it has begun a systematic distribution of books to soldiers and sailors on overseas duty. From the dispatch office books are being sent to naval vessels of all classes and are being placed aboard army transports for the soldiers back of the trenches. The Y. M. C. A. has arranged to put on transports book cases holding about 125 volumes each. Books for these cases are being supplied by the A. L. A. which later will supply the cases also. These collections will be used as circulating libraries on the voyage and will be emptied at the port of debarkation in France, returning to America to be refilled. The work of distributing the books in France will be done by the chaplains, the Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Columbus, the Red Cross and the Y. W. C. A., The A. L. A. will not attempt to set up libraries in France. Dr. M. L. Raney, librarian of Johns Hopkins university, has gone to France as representative of the A. L. A. His main responsibility will be to make certain that the books arriving in France get into the hands of the men. The A. L. A. War Service wishes also to arrange with the war department to add to the flow of books to France by having every soldier that goes across carry a book with him, a book that he and his companions will read on the way over and then hand to the Y. M. C. A. representatives upon his arrival, to be sent to other soldiers. Cheap Liquid Sugar The sugar shortage has encouraged Louisiana planters to broaden the use of pure cane sirup, which is made from cane juice, without taking out any of its sugar. This juice is boiled to a point just below that required to crystallize it into sugar, and can be used not only for griddle cakes and candy making, but it is recommended by the planters as a sweetening for coffee and tea. It is practically sugar in a liquid form, and on a basis of eight cents a pound retail for granulated sugar will yield economies of 40 to 50 per cent, at a price of four and one-half to five cents a pound for sirup. This discovery of pearl-bearing oysters is interesting in view of the experiments of the Soudan government in the Red sea. Fine Paint Made From Tar Fine Paint Made From Tar. The Revue de Chimie Industrielle notes that a brilliant black paint which dries well and is far superior to mineral varnish may be made by mixing equal parts of coal tar with benzine or coal oil. Spread thinly with a hard brush, it penetrates the wood, which it preserves from decay. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS Washington Sentries Have Many Amusing Encounters Washington Sentries Have Many Amusing Encounters WASHINGTON.—Contrary to general belief, the sentries guarding Washington's military establishments, bridges and public buildings are not automatons.

"Whaddye want, a good place to jump from or to put a bum?" queried the man in uniform. "I want my fountain pen I dropped; got a match?" was the answer. The pen was found soon, but remembering tales of explosive pens discovered in abandoned German trenches, the guard nearly wrecked the ink-spiller before satisfied it was not full of T. N. T. New Rules for Stenographers in One War Office ONE office of the war department doesn't believe in instructions savoring of red tape. So regulations have been evolved for stenographers. Greatly increased efficiency is expected to result. Here are the rules to be followed: 1—Conserve air by eliminating some of the unnecessary conversation. 2—Conserve shoe leather by remaining at your desk; remember you are supposed to be a stenographer, not a floorwalker. 3—If you're hungry, go out and get something to eat; don't hang around chewing the rag. 4—We have wheatless and meatless days; let's have feetless days. Keep your feet on the floor, not on your desk. 5—Don't acquire the saving habit to such an extent that with your pockets full of paper clips every night.

When the two women got to F street they stepped across the sidewalk to the curb. There was an automobile standing there, with a young man and a dog on the front seat. The woman in search of her darling boy threw her arms around the neck of the dog and said: "Oh, you darling thing! You're the prettiest dog in town." The woman had a good eye for dogs. "What kind of a dog is he?" asked the woman. The chauffeur winked at the dog and replied calmly: "Mexican fish hound."

The Hoover cook, who has a wide reputation in most exclusive circles of Washington, was one of the first converts to the conservation of food, and one of the most ardent. A prominent Washington woman remarked soon after the Hoover household was established in the national capital: "You needn't tell me the Hoovers save food. I know the cook, and she couldn't be induced to economize." Nevertheless, after a time of sorrow and of stress of wounded professional pride the cook became under the direction and persuasion of Mrs. Hoover, as enthusiastic delicious meals with the least possible outlay of wheat, meat, as the strictest "Hooverite" could wish.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. After a most bitted primary contest Major R. R. Jackson has been chosen over Oscar DePriest as Negro aldermanic candidate for the second ward in Chicago. The colored voters of the ward who are in the majority should now cease fighting and elect Major Jackson to the city council. A delegation of New York colored men called upon the President last week, asking him to review the cases of the members of the 24th U. S. Infantry condemned to dei as a result of participation in the Houston riot. They were politely received and left with the promise that the President would review the case in sympathetic manner. The funeral services of the late Dr. H. T. Kealing occupied less than one and one half hours. There was no public parade to view the body, no lifting up of the bereaved family, no long-winded tributes by casual acquaintances, no vanity of any form. Yet Dr. Kealing was one of the greatest men that our race has ever produced. His proverbial good sense al so seems to have been shared by his bereaved family. It is reported that the President recently declared to a body of colored men that he had not heard of the shocking lynchings and burnings that have recently occurred in the State of Tennessee and that he could scarcely believe the reports to be true. Is it possible that news of such atrocities reach the White House more quickly from Belgium than from Tennessee? Our local news service should be im proved at once. --- The independent candidacy of Hon. L. A. Knox for alderman in the Eighth ward is meeting much favor among the representative Colored men of this city and his headquarters at 1607 East 18th street, are crowded daily with citizens pledging their support. It is freely predicted by the wise ones that it would be a stroke of good policy as well as clarify conditions in the Eighth ward for the Republican convention sitting today to make him its nominee for alderman. The article on another page from the columns of the Nashville Banner, of the ablest edited white journals of the South, reflects much credit upon that paper and should be carefully read by every honest, law-abiding American citizen, white or black, for it tells truthfully and frankly conditions that threaten the very life of the republic. They also set a very wholesome example to other white papers especially our own Star. Post and Journal, in that they are decent and fair enough in all their references to the race to capitalize the word "Negro." READ IT, AND THINK! The National Negro Health Week, To Be Observed April 1st to 27th Be Observed April 21st to 27th. Tuskegee Inst. Ala.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of the Tuskegee Institute, and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, announced today that National Negro Health Week would be observed April twenty-first to twenty-seventh. He has received telegrams from Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the National Negro Business League and from Mr. J. C. Napier, Präsident, in which they give their unqualified assurance that they will help in every way possible to make the campaign a success. The Colored people of this city are determined and insistent in their demand to obtain representation in the common council of this city; and they are expecting at the Republican convention which convenes today to nominate one of the race as a candidate for alderman in the Eighth ward, a majority of the voters of which are both Colored and Republican. The thinking men of the race are agreed that the time is past for a few scheming white pot-house politicians to get together in some private room in a hotel to which Negroes are denied admission and map out a program which the Negro shall follow. That may have been alright in the past, BUT IT WON'T GO THIS TIME!

Yes, you can do something—where there is a will you will surely find a way. Henry Armstead, 1727 Michigan, twenty-five years of age, was shot and seriously wounded Wednesday evening in front of the Gem theatre near 18th and Vine. Armstead was fighting with Jno. Spears, ticket taker at the theatre, and had succeeded in taking a gun away from him, when another man alleged to be Jesse Wilson, shot him, the ball going clear through his body. Armstead is at the City Hospital and Wilson is being held by the police.

D. W. PAZAR DEAD. D. W. Pazar died at Wichita, Kan. March 1, 1918, at 11:40 a. m. after an illness of four days of pneumonia. Mr. Pazar was a Pullman porter for fifteen years. He is survived by one brother, James Harvey Pazar, Columbia, Mo.; two nieces and three nephews, Mrs. Ella N. Lane, Columbia, Mo.; Miss Susie L. Brown, this city; Chas. H. Brown, Milwaukee, Wis.; Frank P. Brown and Harrison W. Brown of Chicago, Ill. Mr. Pazar was a member of Ebenezer Church of Kansas City, Mo., which he joined February 28, 1916. The funeral was held at 3:00 p. m. Monday, March 4, at Columbia, Mo. The Editor returned last Saturday from a pleasant weeks' stay at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. B. Frank Smart, Maryville, Mo., and it is needless to say he spent one of the most pleasant weeks of his life. Enroute he stopped off for Sunday morning service at Ebenezer A. M. E. church, St. Joseph, Mo., and heard a wonderful sermon from the brilliant and scholarly Dr. Maloney, the new pastor of that church and in the afternoon went over to Savannah, where he attended an old fashioned quarterly meeting conducted by Dr. M. S. Bryant, presiding Elder, which he enjoyed very much, going on to Maryville in the evening. The Editor, Grand Master Fields, Grand Secretary Love, Grand Lecturer Lacey and Grand High Priest, T. G. McCampbell will all go to Maryville, March 16th to help Cyrene Lodge celebrate her 3rd anniversary.

Worcester, Mass.—Councilman Charles Scott of the Third Ward is the happiest man on earth. This according to his own admission. He has completed over a month's work in the city council and he likes it. "Charlie," as he is affectionately called, has achieved an ambition of 30 years standing and has rounded out his career as baseball player, vaudeville actor and athletic coach by entering the city government at Worcester. Incidently he has the distinction of being the first Negro in the United States to defeat a white office holder in a district that is practically solid white. Of the three thousand voters in his ward at least 2,000 are of Irish birth or extraction. Of the remaining 1,000, some 400 are of Italian birth and the remainder are scattered between Assyrians, Armenians and other races. There are only 36 Colored voters registered. Some of the politicians say that the reason Charlie "went over the top" was simply because he was one of the best liked fellows in Worcester. Old time sport followers recall him as one of the best second basemen the town ever turned out and one who would have gone wap up in the sport if it had not been for the prejudice against his color. There is, probably, nobody in Worcester who has a wider acquaintance than Mr. Scott. He has three children. He has been a lifelong Democrat and the ward has been regarded as a Republican stronghold.

Sadly missed by Mrs. Eva Campbell, Shoshone, Idaho Master Joe and Haskel Campbell, Master Osborn Maddox, City. Woodcocks in London. Woodcocks, which during the past few days have been flushed "within 300 yards of the Marble arch," are by no means such rare visitors to London as some ornithologists seem to imagine, says the London Chronicle. They have from time to time been noticed in almost every park or "open space" that contains sheltering shrubs, and occasionally during very hard winters or their periods of migration, they have found temporary refuge even in the little derelict churchyards of the city. At the beginning of the last century the boys of Westminster school used to get good woodcock shooting among the wilds of Chelsea and Battersea. Most of those young sportsmen took preliminary lessons from a learned professor who lived near Dean's yard and styled himself "instructor of young gentlemen in the new art of shooting飞翔." Has:Two "Mermaids." J. E. Smith, a Spaniard, residing in Hamilton, Ont., possesses two creatures that are probably unique. He considers them to be mermaids. Though these are described as "fabled" or "fictitious" creatures in the dictionaries, those of Mr. Smith have heads shaped like those of human beings and bodies that are distinctly fish-like. One is much larger than the other, and is considered to be the mother, and reckoned to be 300 years old. Both have fine hair like a human being, and a small mustache and beard. The head is attached to a human-like neck which merges into the fish-like body, and the arms are like those of a monkey, only that the fingers are webbed. It is said that the "mermaids" were found in the wreck of a ship in the Arabian sea. Duty of Happiness. Keeping oneself reasonably happy is a duty that ought not to be shirked. Science is telling us these days that to get out of the habit of enjoyment is to get depressed in vitality and vigor, to weaken in efficiency, and to grow old before one's time. There is nothing like laughter—not empty-headed laughter, but the intelligent, wholesome, kindly hearted kind—to keep people young and fresh and fit for business and the obligations of living. Of course, this is a prescription not easy to live up to always, but there is no reasonable excuse for not trying to do it. Sometimes it is just about as easy to be happy as to be miserable if one makes up his mind to it, and there is no doubt at all as to which pays the best.—Onward. Weather Vanes in France. In France the original weather vanes were metal reproductions of knightly banners or pennants bearing their owner's heraldic devices and set upon the towers, and, like pennons, indicated the direction of danger, or a summons to victory, a fight or a frolic, a warning or a call, according to whether the day was to be fair or foul. An English, not a French, writer it was who first compared a vane to "the uncertain mind of a fantastical woman." The weather may be shifty, you see, but not the vane to its own duty, says London Review. Falsehood does not abide with it. Wherever a change in wind is important, it functions as a sentinel at the gates or as a courier spreading tidings, a silent, always visible Paul Revere. --- Kansas City, Kansas Mr. Goings, 1502 N. 9th St., is convalescing.

MAIN BUILDING AT WILEY UNIVERSITY DESTROYED BY FIRE. Marshall, Tex., Feb. 28, 1918. Friday morning, February 22, while the students and teachers of Wiley University were at breakfast, a fire was discovered in the attic of the main building. The alarm was given and the students filed out of the dining hall in a very orderly manner. Immediately the Wiley boys, who have distinguished themselves as firefighters both on the University grounds and in the neighborhood, got busy. Their efforts against the flames were heroic. Presently the fire department of the city arrived. It was soon discovered, however, that there was not sufficient water pressure, and the rapidly increasing flames had now got such headway as to render the efforts of the University bucket brigade ineffective. As a result all that now remains of Central Building is a huge pile of smoldering brick. The origin of the fire is unknown. Very little was saved other than the personal effects of the students. There was no loss of life. The building and furnishings, which were easily worth $75,000, were a complete loss. After the fire the citizens of Marshall, black and white, were extremely kind to the students and teachers of Wiley. Space will not permit the giving of each name here, but special mention should be made of President Maxson and the students and teachers of Bishop College, who gave dinner and supper to Wiley's girls and expressed a desire to help in other ways; Revs. E. W. Kelley and J. L. Blue, pastors in the city, who through their congregations brought large baskets of food to the University and fed the students until things were put in running order again, also deserve special mention. The building destroyed was used as a chapel, dining hall and dormitory for girls. Soon after the fire President Dogan called the teachers and students into the auditorium of Carnegie Library and announced the following plans: That the girls would occupy Coe Hall, a building formerly used as a dormitory for boys; that the boys would use the frame buildings scattered about over the grounds for dormitories; that the old frame dormitory would be used for dining hall and kitchen, and that the auditorium of Carnegie Library would be used for chapel. At this writing all of these adjustments have been made and the term will continue uninterrupted. JOHN H. HARRIS Dr. L. M. Tillman desires to announce to his many patrons and friends that he is now located in his own building at the northwest corner of 17th and Lydaia avenue where he will be pleased to meet his patients and friends.

The Scrap Book FRENCH FLINGS AT ENEMY Men Responsible for These Should Be Careful to Flee Paris Before the Kaiser Gets There. A. D. W. sends us a clipping from Le Mercure de France, which we think might interest American read- ers. Translated, it goes thus: The scene takes place at a meeting of the council of revision at Berlin. A recruit enters. The president of the commission says: A man sitting at a desk with two men standing behind him. "What the deuce do you pretend is the matter with you? Asthma? Why, Hindenburg has asthma. Fit for service! March! A second recruit enters. The president says: "Why do you hold your arm so? Lift it up, species of a pig! Paralyzed? Impossible to lift it? And you think you are incapable of service? Why, our emperor has a paralyzed arm. Fit for service! March!" A third recruit enters. The president is about to question him, but the corporal makes a significant gesture. The president says: "What's the matter here, corporal? The man's an idiot? Incapable of serving? Ridiculous! Why, Gott in Himmel, our crown prince is in the same condition! Fit for service! March!" —Cleveland Plain Dealer. Comparison Should Sting Huns We have been looking at a copy of "L'Echo des Gourbis," a newspaper published in the trenches in France. And we are moved to translate the following simple little anecdote: A certain German, a great personage, taken prisoner and severely wounded, was nursed in a village near the front. He was so well taken care of that he recovered. In his Teutonic character, the said personage thus addressed the medical officer who had cured him: "I wish to prove my gratitude to you in a practical way. Ask me anything you wish, and if I am able I will do it. And don't forget that I am a very wealthy man. What can I do for you?" The major answered, simply, "Spare our hospitals!" The relator of the anecdote comments: "One knows, however, how the Boches have acceded to this request. We heal their soldiers—they finish ours. It is not proved that we are in the wrong."—Exchange. Just an Incident. On a crowded rush-hour car the other evening there was a homeward-bound citizen who carried a bag of flour over his shoulder. There was no seat for him; every time the conductor cried "Move forward, please!" he'd hunch the bag into a more comfortable position and bore his way a little farther into the crowd. He was about in the middle of the car, and could not move a step farther, being wedged in on all sides—when it happened. Yes, the sack broke. We never saw a sack of flour that went so far. Everybody in the car got some of it, but, of course, the man's immediate neighbors fared best. They looked like amateur Santa Clauses, every one of them. They didn't appear to enjoy it, either. And to make the tragedy complete, it happened on a wheattess day.—Cleve land Plain Dealer. Ukrainian Soil Rich The name Urkraine was lost after the struggles of Mazeppa, whose deeds and fate are preserved by romance, and the fateful battle of Pultowa. The people came to be known as the "South Russians" or the "Little Russians," and in Austria as the "Russianjaks" or "Ruthenians." Roughly traced, Ukraine includes the southern part of the European plains extending from the Carpathians to the Caucasus, and from the Black sea and the Danube delta to the forests of the Polissje at the middle course of the Dnieper. Within this boundary lie the immense fertile plains of southern Russia, "the Black Earth" provinces and a land rich in coal, iron, salt and petroleum. England's Valuable Waterways. England has found her inland waterways of great practical importance since the question of transportation has become so urgent, because of the war. Those owned by the railways, taken over by the government along with the railways, and later the independently owned canals, have come under the same control. In the South Staffordshire district, which has become an important munitions area, it was found that the canals could be relied upon for a great part of the haul between producer and consumer, and in other districts, both in England and Wales, the waterways have been called upon to do their bit. Gardens for Railroad Men. Sugar shortage, flour fluctuations, potato paucity soon will have no terrors for the 2,000 railroad workers members of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. The plan is to utilize lots and prairie lands for gardens. The purpose is to assign a certain amount of ground to each department, get the land plowed and turn it over to railroad men and their families for gardens during spring and summer months.

The newcomer had hardly sented himself in the railway compartment before he began to talk. "I am a pacifist," said he in a voice as if he wanted to disarm all interruption. "If we can't beat the enemy in three years it's time we started waving the olive branch instead of the sword." ed to disarm all interruption. "If we can't beat the enemy in three years it's time we started waving the olive branch instead of the sword." Just then a severe feminine face inserted itself at the carriage window. "Is there a John Tamson here? Aye, there he is. Camot o' that smokin' carriage, ye heathen, before I tak' ye by the lug. Due ye think your wife's a haddle for the curin'?" John Tamson left, and the astonished silence which followed was broken by one passenger remarking: "Puir fellow, nane wunner he's a pacifist. It's mair nor three years o' war he he's had, I'm thinkin'."—London Mail. Unique Concert. A description of a unique concert which I have read in a German paper, says a writer in the London Daily News, deserves to be rescued from oblivion. In one of the prisoners' camps are a number of Russian musicians, who have formed a chorus and an orchestra, which are apparently so good that the inhabitants of the nearest towns were anxious to hear them. The commander of the camp accordingly agreed to allow them to give a concert of Russian sacred music in the principal church of the town. Germany always has an eye to business nowadays, and the takings, which were considerable, were devoted to the benefit—not of the Russian prisoners, but of German prisoners in Russia. Among the singers, I see, were two who have appened with the Russian opera company at Drury Lane. Saving Bison, Elk and Antelope Saving Bison, Elk and Antelope. The United States had within its big-game reservations in the Northwest last July, when the official count was made, 246 head of buffalo, 184 of elk and 49 of antelope. The bison herd on the National range in Montana had increased to 194 from 37 placed on the range in the fall of 1909. Antelope are harbored at the Wind Cave preserve, in South Dakota, where the small herd is steadily increasing. Antelope born on the range are wilder and apparently harder than those transferred to the refuge, and it is believed that in time a satisfactory herd of these beautiful and rapidly disappearing animals will be built up. Improved Wire Entanglements Improved Wine Entanglements. The latest barbed-wire fence which the French have designed to check the advance of the enemy, employs a series of immense barrel hoops, on which barbed wire is strung. The hoops are securely fastened to a wooden fence-form—six hoops to a section of fence—so that it is possible for each entanglement section to roll over and over like a string of lopsided pushballs joined together to form a solid unit. When the sections are to be set up, they are dragged out under cover of darkness and so arranged that the natural land formations of the vicinity coalesce them from advancing troops.—Popular Science Monthly. An Argument. "Are you still of the opinion that you won't let Fred marry me?" asked the daughter. "I am," replied the father. "I told you I would never consent to your marrying a man who drank." "But now that prohibition is making such headway, father, I thought perhaps you might change your mind." Double-Cross Work "You, sir," thundered the judge to the pickpocket, "are a parasite, a human leech living off the honest endeavor of a nation that is heroically sacrificing itself to win this war. Answer me, you slacker, what have you done for your country?" "Your honor, I'm engaged in relief work."—The Gargoyle. Could Hold Her Nicely "Have a good time while you were away?" "Yes, I met a college boy who can hold 200 pounds with one hand." "Well met, girlle. You only weigh 135." THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1918 WHAT CAN WE + DO? A shortage of trained nurses confronts the Red Cross and young high school and college women must save the day for the organization in this dilemma. Even though these young women have no expectation of following nursing as a life vocation they may benefit themselves and show their willingness to help when help is badly needed by qualifying to do Red Cross work. The time spent in the nurses' training schools of the country, and in actual nursing, will prove a lifelong asset—broaden the vision and sympathies and make better and less anxious mothers of the girls who undertake such training. We are to discontinue the knitting of trench caps because the government is to include a trench cap in every man's equipment. And furthermore, we are asked to use the yarn for socks and more socks. The hand-knitted varieties are most satisfactory and even when the upper part is made by ma- FANCIES : O --- FANCIES:OF:FASHION COATS WITH "THROW" COLLARS. Gauntlet cuffs and "throw" or scarf collars are among the small innovations in coat styles that distinguish them from preceding seasons. Another almost universal feature of new coats is some sort of definition at the waistline which may be either above or below the normal waistline and is oftenmuch above. Nevertheless, many of the new coats achieve an almost straight silhouette. Bearing these three peculiarities in mind, it will not be at all hard to acquire an up-to-date coat, for spring styles show no radical departures from those of the winter Although the throw is merely a supplement to the spring coat for wear on keen, chilly days, it may be made a style note full of charm. There is a knack in wearing it which all lies in adjusting it becomingly. Each of the two coats illustrated here is provided with a throw and one of them is further favored with one phase of the gauntlet cuff. Both are of wool velour, which has proved itself an ideal fabric for coats. Rippling skirt sections are tabooed by some of the smartest modistes. Gray handkerchief linen is used for some of the most distinctive of French hand made blouses. Cat stitching in heavy silk is in some cases replacing fill tire work on blouses, since it involves less time and labor and is almost as effective. A novel edging, introduced by Lanvin on some of her blouses, is made of tiny seam beading, cut in half and applied by hand. Colored pique is used for collars and cuffs on lingerie blouses for spring. Heavily embroidered front panels are used on some of the hand made lingerie things. Blazer stripes are reported as returning to favor in England for sweaters. Most of the best bandeau brassieres are now fitted with a shaped diaphram band. --- NEW FASHIONS --- chine the stitches may be taken up on needles of the correct size and the foot knitted by hand.

It has straight panels down the front and a rather wide girdle set in about the sides and back, defining a long waistline. The skirt of the coat is shirred, to the belt with scant fullness. The sleeves are roomy and finished with ample cuffs that are embellished with small buttons. There is a long, rolling shawl colour which may be fastened over the throat. The scarf hangs to the waistline and ends in large, soft tassels. It amounts to an ornament and is pictured with the throat uncovered and the ends hanging at each side of the coat. The coat at the left resorts to small box plaits in the back to provide the required fullness in its skirt. It chooses the high waistline and a scarf in white with tasseled ends in dark taupe like the coat in color. Julia Bottomley Old-Fashioned Brocks. Frocks of organdie in combinations that harken back to the fifties give an inkling to what may be expected this season, and illustrated in a model seen of gray organdie, the skirt fulled slightly into the waist is banded at the foot with self color and finished at the top with cord and narrow knife plaiting of pale yellow. The quiet tight-fitting waist, modified by modern influence, depends upon knife plaitings and cording to trim.

(Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) It was late spring in the mountains, and Dud Embury was gazing questioningly into the clear blue eyes of Doris Baldwin. They didn't know each other very long; only for two weeks, to be exact, but both were graduates of the same college, which makes all the difference in the world. "It's just as if we had known each other for four years," the man explained. "So I want you to treat me as one of your oldest friends." That had been two weeks ago, when Dud had arrived at the Smith farmhouse for a brief rest from business worries. It was just a coincidence that Doris happened to be the village school teacher, but the new arrival considered it about the luckiest thing that ever happened to him. For Doris' eyes were like the October sky on a cloudless day, and her lips matched the petals of a crimson rose. She had only been out of college a year. Their two weeks together had flown on enchanted wings, and the time had finally come when it was necessary for Dud to go back to the city again. So he looked into the depths of the girl's eyes and became suddenly brave. He had always thought that when he spoke those words, the girl to whom they were directed would open her arms and smile at him. But Doris did no such thing. Instead, she dropped her eyes and traced an almless pattern on the floor of the porch. The man could not see that her heart was wild with the joy of his confession; that her whole being quivered for the touch of him. He only knew that she did not come to him at once; and because his knowledge of girls was limited, he imagined that she did not care. So, very quietly, he turned away from her and hurried upstairs to his room. He went away the next day while she was making a mockery of her geography lesson; and for a seemingly endless month he ate his heart out for her and then, when he could not stand it an hour longer, he wrote her a letter, telling again of his love and asking her if she could ever care for him. But in a week the letter came back with the announcement that Miss Doris Baldwin had gone from Mountainville and had left no address. And then, having found business suddenly uninteresting, he applied for admission into the first series of officers' training camps and was admitted to Plattsburg early in the summer. In the course of three months he was graduated with a captain's commission and was assigned to Camp Dix, N. J. Then it was that he heard about the war service bureau of Glenwood college. The bureau was established by a classmate of his who was unable to fight because of physical defects and who had decided to devote his time to the Glenwood men who had entered the service of the nation. Every week he sent a letter to the alumni and students of the college in the camps telling them of the campus meetings, the football games, and all other gossip. He offered to answer all questions about Glenwood men in service, sent sweaters and socks which the ladies of the faculty knitted, and did a hundred and one things to make easier the days of those who had answered the nation's call. Dud enjoyed the letters immensely; and one time in the late fall, when he happened to be in the college town, he dropped into the office of the war bureau. Jim Handy, the director, greeted him cordially. "Even the co-eds are doing things," he said enthusiastically. "Who are they, and what are they doing?" asked Dud. "Oh, lots of things. There's Doris Baldwin, for instance. She has charge." "There's you who?" Dud's eyes were popping out of his head and his hand had gripped the wrist of his classmate convulsively. The director of the bureau looked at him wonderingly. "And you mean to say you know where she is?" "Of course I do." Dud rose suddenly from his chair and clapped the astonished Jim Handy resoundingly on the shoulder. "Jim," he announced jubilantly, "I thought your war service bureau was a pretty good thing before, but now I know it's the greatest thing ever invented. Where is she?" "I suppose you mean Doris," Jim answered. "If you do, she's one of the ladies in charge of the Hostess house at Camp Dix. Where are you going?" Jim was already half way to the door. "There's a train for camp which leaves this town in just five minutes," he said, "and I'm going to be on that train." He caught it without the least bit of trouble, and when he reached the camp, the first thing he did was to make a bee-line for the Hostess house. He found Doris there, waiting as if she had been expecting him for a long time, and in just two minutes he made right the misunderstanding of many months. So it was that the war service bureau served two people in a way which was not mentioned on its letter-heads.

WHO'S WHO in the WORLD NEWSBOY TO RAILWAY HEAD From newsboy to railway president. Such is the achievement of William P. Kenney, who has just become president of the Great Northern railway. Louis W. Hill, chairman of the board of directors, will continue as active as heretofore in the management of the railway system his father built. Selling newspapers was the starting point of Kenney's career, back in the eighties. He progressed step by step, later becoming a Western Union messenger boy. The clicking of the telegraph instrument was a lure to him. He mastered the key and became an operator. That opened the way for Kenney's railway career. He turned his attention to traffic and before he was forty became a recognized traffic authority. In 1912 Kenney was made vice president and traffic manager of the Great Northern. He then came into close executive association with James J. Hill and L. W. Hill, who had a high regard for the young man's keen knowledge of traffic affairs. From their youth up Louis W. Hill and William Kenney have been closely associated in railroad affairs, first as clerks and later in management. James J. Hill and L. W. Hill, who have keen knowledge of traffic affairs.

Peyton Conway March, lately appointed acting chief of staff, has the unofficial designation of speeder up. A man of quick decisions, as he has proved himself to be both in military campaigns and in the direction of semicivil governments in newly acquired American possessions, he is thought to be admirably fitted for the new role. Participating in two expeditions to the Philippines, his name is associated not only with many of the decisive battles and campaigns in those islands, but with the names of some of the most notable of the Filipino leaders who were captured or forced to surrender. General March is a son of the late Francis Andrew March, long a professor in Lafayette college, and his brother, Francis Andrew, Jr., is now a member of the faculty of that institution. Peyton Conway March is himself a graduate of Lafayette, but m appealed to him, and in the very year 1884, he entered West Point. self a graduate of Lafayette, but military life rather than the classroom appealed to him, and in the very year that he finished his academic course, 1884, he entered West Point.

LITHUANIA International Film Service Koenigsberg, Prussia, Claimed by the New Lithuania. ITHUANIA, which has declared collected a large army. Its independence of Russia, has the Germans and stopped a history that for hundreds of advance of the Mongolian years was intertwined with that of Poland, with which it long maintained a loose sort of union. At the time of the dismemberment of Poland it went for the most part to Russia. Lithuania now comprises the Russian "governments" of Kovno, Vilna, Grodno, Vitebsk, Minsk, Mogilev, and Suwalki (the last a part of Russian Poland.) This territory is almost entirely occupied just now by the Germans, who swept over it in their campaign of 1915 against the Russians. In the heydey of the Lithuanians the dominies of their princes extended, however, far beyond the limits of today, reaching even the shores of the Black sea, and embracing districts now included in Ukraine, Poland, and other parts of Russia. A most interesting point about the claims of those who have brought about the Lithuanian declaration of independence is that, in their extreme form, they contemplate not only the separation of Lithuania from Russia but also the incorporation into the new state of German territory which centuries ago formed part of Lithuania. This district includes the important city of Koenigsberg, in what is now East Prussia, as well as Tilsit and other towns. If this district should form part of the new Lithuania, and if an independent Poland should have free access to the sea after the war through the seaport of Danzig, formerly Polish and now German, there would be a small wedge of German territory, isolated from the rest of the empire, between Polish Danzig and Lithuanian Koenigsberg. The Lithuanians re-enforce their claims to Koenigsberg and other cities now under German or Russian rule by pointing to the fact that they have names for them in the Lithuanian language which the cities bore in the old days before they were selzed by Teutons or Slavs. Once a Great Principality. The Lithuanian nation in the fourth century of our era was living along the coast of the Baltic sea between Riga and Koenigsberg. From the tenth to the sixteenth century the Lithuanian principality extended from the Baltic to the Black sea. In that territory were White Russians and Ukrainians or Little Russians. White Russians are mostly of Lithuanian stock. Whoever goes from Lithuania to White Russia soon notices that the same types, customs and festivities exist there. The language of White Russia is 25 per cent Lithuanian, and the attitude of the people toward the Lithuanians is very friendly. The Lithuanians are Indo-Aryans, fair, light-haired, blue-eyed, tall, and strong. They are in no way related to the Slav or Teuton. They are said to have crossed from Asia to Europe about 2.000 B. C. They settled along the Black sea, near the mouth of the Danube. Gradually they were driven by other races until they came to the shores of the Baltic, where they finally settled. Here Lithuanians grew and prospered. They were peaceful folk, never fighting unless attacked, ousy with agricultural pursuits, and a few with hunting and fishing. As a nation they were prevented from going into manufacturing or into commerce by physical surroundings, but some of the more venturesome made trips to Roman territory with cargoes of amber and various products of their country. The language of the Lithuanians has been preserved to this day. Some even say that it is the oldest language in use. It closely resembles the Sanskrit and, in many cases of research work, is the key to it. Beat Germans and Mongols. The Lithuanians lived in clans until the thirteenth century, when, because of national danger, they banded together. They chose Ringadas as the first grand duke of Lithuania, and he soon collected a large army. He defeated the Germans and stopped the western advance of the Mongolians. He likewise defeated the Russians and increased the territory of Lithuania considerably. Mindaugis, the next grand duke, a capable organizer and administrator, continued the work successfully. Gedeminas, a shrewd diplomat, as is shown in his correspondence with the popes of Rome and the Teutonic order, was the next grand duke of note. He established the grand duchy of Lithuania on a firm basis, vanquished the Russians, Teutons, and especially the Tartars, and so helped save Europe from the greatest disaster that could have befallen it—invasion and occupation by Mongolians. At this time Lithuania extended from the Baltic sea to the Black sea. After the death of Gedeminas, his two sons, Algirdas and Keistutis, reigned, and waged ottes with Teutons and Slavs. In 1569 a sort of dual Polish-Lithuanian government was adopted. Even then, Lithuania kept its independence. In the three partitions of Poland the major part of Lithuania was annexed by Russia and the smaller by Germany. Thus Lithuania was removed from the map of the world. The people were forbidden to use the Lithuanian language, and the possession of any Lithuanian books, even prayer books, was considered a political crime, and schools teaching Lithuanian were closed. The Russian government prohibited the use of any type in print but the Russian. The people as a result, smuggled in books and newspapers printed in Latin type, from Germany. Eventually the imperial order was revoked and the use of Latin type re-established. From that time on Lithuanian literature has flourished, many newspapers having been published and many books printed. There are probably about 7,500,000 persons of genuine Lithuanian stock. In addition to these, the Lithuanian state would include 1,500,000 Poles, Jews, Russians, and Germans, making a total of 9,000,000 for Lithuania proper. If Lettland should be united with Lithuania it would add 2,500,000 Letts, making a grand total population of 11,500,000 for the new nation. Russian Peasant's Hard Life. The whole existence of the Russian peasant is out of joint. He is born in a world of earth and wood, where his life is circumscribed oy a log cabin that is thatched in fall, when it assumes an appearance of tidiness, but becomes a huge harp for the March winds to play their woeful dirges on. The thatch is fed to the few starving animals, and the dispensable wooden props and decorations used to cook dinner with long before the approach of spring. Here between the unplastered, undecorated walls he lives with his horse, his pig, his hens—always provided he has any—under the same roof, glad of their sociability and animal warmth, being much in need of both. His home is one of the maze of zigzag, lopsided, weather-beaten, broken-down ibaz that stand huddled together, freezing in God's solemn peacefulness and uncanny dreaminess. Enchantingly idyllic on a canvas, but a dreadful place to live in. Java's Sugar Production. Java is such a fruitful land that one hesitates to specify the principal crop, but it is one of the great sugar-producing countries of the world. The annual export of sugar amounts to something like 1,700,000 tons. People are go accustomed to thinking of sugar in terms of pounds that nearly 2,000,000 tons of sugar seems to have a stupefying effect on the mind. There are more than 400,000 acres of land under cultivation in sugar on the island of Java and the average yield per acre is four and one-half tons, which is a yield that is high above the average of sugar land. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1918. TALES FROM BIG CITIES Pantagall and His Princess Live in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO—They eat raw meat and live in the heart of San Francisco. Pantagall, a South Sea islander, and his wife, a Piute Indian princess, are having their first experience with civilization in a tiny shack crowded among apartments and fac- plains, had to turn to roots and raw potatoes in place of four-inch tenderloin. He turned also to the luring eyes of Highana, a dusky Plute princess, camped with her tribe nearby. At once the course of true love began to loop the loop, for Papa Plute wasn't going to have any raw meat eating son-in-law in his family if he could help it. The chief tried the old, shop-worn stunt of imprisoning his headstrong and romantic daughter, but even the Plute love god laughs at locksmiths, and one fine night Princess Highana up and out and rode away on a fleet cayuse. Pantagall, who had meantime learned the language and customs of the Plutes and had become a regular Vernon Castle among the dancing women of the tribe, set out in pursuit. He found his princess, after many days, staving off starvation by eating the cayuse she had fled on. There on the prairie they were married, according to the rites of the South Sea islanders. Pantagall swore by his own gods and his bride's that no vampire should ever turn him aside. Then they finished the poor cayuse—raw—and proceeded to be happy. Vicissitudes and a papoose came to make life complex. They drifted to San Francisco, penniless, hungry, out of kilter with a world that likes its bacon crisp and its steaks well done. Charity found for them a tiny shack in the heart of the city. First Women to Visit New York Stock Exchange NEW YORK.—Seven New York women roamed among the bulls and bears on the floor of the consolidated stock exchange recently and emerged unharmed. An excited messenger boy looked straight into the eyes of one of cordial gesture. "Isn't it nice that they greet us so cordially," exclaimed an effusive miss. "Lovely," dryly responded their guide. "They are wigwagging about stocks." "Did you ever see so much wasted energy in all your life?" queried one of the visitors. "Think of what could be accomplished if they would conserve it and devote it to knitting." "There's a delightful place to serve tea," murmured another sister as she spied the thronelike seat of Valentine Mott, who has called the meeting to order for 19 consecutive years. Mr. Mott says it is the first time in the history of the exchange that women have invaded the sacred precincts. The visitors declare it is their last time. Rare Find of a Philatelic Junk Hunter in Gotham NEW YORK.—Among the many strange livelihoods practiced in New York is there any stranger than that of the junk hunter. Junk hunters are subdivided into classes, such as those who reclaim metal, paper, lost articles, as they are called in the stamp row and some were of real value. In a jiffy the junk hunter rushed to Park Row to his principal with the find, receiving $15 for three envelopes from Hawaii. The stamp dealer who bought the three old covers for $15 tried in vain to interest his customers in them. Month after month he held them at the fixed price of $10 each, but none made an offer, despite their apparent rarity. Finally came a stamp auction for the benefit of the Red Cross, and the dealer, wishing to do his bit, contributed one of the Hawaiian covers. To the surprise of all it brought $37.50, the buyer being a Hawaiian specialist in Syracuse. That worthy, much interested in his gem, traced the source of his find through the auctioneer and wrote to the New York dealer—principal of the junk hunter—for verification of its origin. Incidentally he asked where there were any more. Now, knowing the value of his find, the New Yorker promptly sent the other two envelopes to the Syracuse man with a price of $125 for the pair. It was a deal. The Syracusan took them and when he died soon after and his estate was settled the three covers were sold again at auction, this time bringing a trifle more than $200. Of course the hunter got a liberal bonus from the New York dealer and there came to the Red Cross another check for $12.50.

Ten years ago a circus brought a bronze giant from the Antipodes to America as "Pantagall, the wild cannibal." He devoured great quantities of raw meat before curious crowds, and life was one long, sweet song.

THE CHEST OF THE CHEST A Homemade Cabinet That Is Sanitary, Convenient and Attractive—Not Expensive. KITCHEN HELPER FOR HOUSEWIVES Cabinet Saves Walking To and Fro Necessary in Preparation of Food. WELL-SEASONED WOOD BEST Convenience Especially Suitable Where Space Is Limited—Place Provided for Fireless Cooker When Not in Use. A kitchen cabinet is just as important to the housekeeper as the bench to the workman or the laboratory desk to the chemist. With it the housekeeper can sit down comfortably with her whole kitchen workshop easily within her reach. It saves walking to and fro to gather this thing and that to prepare the food. And every kitchen should have a stool of the right height to enable the worker to sit at her work at the cabinet. The homemade cabinet shown in the illustration is sanitary, convenient, and attractive. It is especially suitable and compact for kitchens in which cabinet space is limited. A home-made cabinet can be built with moderate expense if outside labor need not be employed. If both lumber and labor must be purchased, the cost will equal that of a ready-made cabinet. The cabinet must be made of good wood, well seasoned. That is the most important consideration. Poorly seasoned wood warps and swells and is a constant annoyance in opening and closing doors and drawers. Dimensions of the Cabinet The cabinet shown in the illustration is 6 feet 3 inches high to the top of the closet, 31 inches high to the top of the table. It is 21 inches deep and 48 inches wide. The part of the cabinet below the table contains the flour bin, large drawer, rack and dough or pastry board. The bin is fastened to the frame with loose-pin hinges. By removing the pins the entire bin can be removed, cleaned, and replaced. The bin can be lined with tin to make --- This is the first of a series of articles which will describe household conveniences. The difference between the tired, over-worked housekeeper and one who has some time and energy left for reading and recreation after the day's work is done, often may be accounted for by the kind of equipment used in the kitchen. Under the direction of the state and county home demonstration agents of the United States Department of Agriculture, home conveniences already have been installed in several thousand country homes. Such conveniences not only effect a real saving in the work of the home, but they help the farm woman to get a greater amount of happiness out of her daily tasks. Many of the improvements that will be described can be used as well in village and city homes. --- it moisture, insect, and mouse proof. The dough board should be made of a wood that is tasteless and odorless and should be fitted well in the opening just below the table.

Though we like it, it is not a necessity. It is always best to eat candy as a part of the meal to replace some other food. Eating it between meals not only means needless use of sugar, but often causes a loss of appetite for other foods. Apply this suggestion to the children. If they are to eat candy it should be a part of the meal. Between meals let them have bread and butter, a cracker, or fruit. --- low the drawer. A drop table 21 inches wide and 19 inches long increases the table surface. This table is supported by inexpensive folding brackets, Provisions for Many Things.

APPLE SCRAPPLE IS GOOD Fried apples are good with fried scrapple. Yes, answers the healthy appetite, even though it be not acquainted with fried scrapple. Every cook knows how to fry apples, many do not know how to make scrapple—excellent at any meal. Ingredients. Whole hog heads.....pounds. 10 Hog livers and hearts.....do. 2½ (A small quantity of beef can be used also if desired.) Corn meal (yellow or mixed)..pounds 6 Buckwheat or rye flour.....do. ½ Spices, as marjoram, sage, thyme, and pepper in proportion as desired, or omit those not desired.....oz. 3 Salt .....pounds. ½ Liquid in which meat is boiled; use a quantity equal to the total weight of the combined solids. The proportion of ingredients may be varied to individual taste. Directions for Preparing Clean the hog heads thoroughly, removing the eyes and ear tubes. Split the head lengthwise and remove the teeth and the soft bones in and near the nasal cavities. Place the hog heads and other meat into a large kettle or calderon with a liberal quantity of water and cook until the meat falls off the bones. Remove all of the meat and soft tissues from the bones and chop the meat by passing it through a meat grinder. Strain the cooking liquid to remove any small pieces of bone. Place the liquid back into the kettle. Heat to boiling point, at which time slowly add the meal and flour, and stir constantly to prevent the meal from forming into lumps and also to avoid scorching. Boll and stir until the mass becomes thick, and then add the salt, spices, and chopped meat. Boll ten minutes, and while still hot, pour the product into deep wet molds —bread pans will do. Pour two to four large spoonfuls of melted lard over the product in the pans. As soon as the product has cooled it is ready for use. The usual way of serving scrapple is to cut it into slices about one-half inch thick, dust the slices with flour or cracker dust, or dry cornmeal, and fry until the outside is somewhat crisp. Serve hot. (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School School of the Moody Bldg.) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR MARCH 10 JESUS RESTORING LIFE AND HEALTH.

This is one of the most beautiful stories of the Bible. It appeals to the loving parents' hearts and charms the attention of every child. The introduction of the woman who touched the Master's garment is referred to by three of the gospel writers and gives us an intensely interesting sidelight on the reception accorded to Jesus during his Gallilean ministry. The dramatis personae is as follows: (1) The Father is about to lose all the poetry and music of his home. (2) The Child, twelve years old, is just on the threshold of Jewish womanhood. It takes little imagination to picture how her life had entwined itself about the heart of the father and the other loved ones. The stricken child is still to be found in the land, and it is this background which makes the picture so vivid. Why the suffering? Why the separation? Only our Heavenly Father knows it all, and some day we will read the answer in the glory of his presence. (3) The Woman, who—where from or whither to we are not told—only one of a vast throng who had just faith enough to touch the hem of his garment and be made whole. (4) The Galilean Prophet's response to the furtive touch of need was instantaneous, but without the marring movement of haste. We can fancy these characters walking along the highway. Jesus paused as they were interrupted. The woman was healed the moment she touched his garment. What is the meaning of the pause? Having taught the multitude and encouraged the heart of Jairus, they reached the home, where Jesus excluded all but Peter, James and John, who entered with him into the house of tumult, made somber by the weeping and walling of professional mourners and relatives. Again we are impressed with the Calm Dignity of Jesus. as he asked, "Why this tumult? the child only sleeps." Their laughing scorn is due to their ignorance of the power of the Mighty Christ in face of the fact that the child was really dead. When he had turned the unbelievers out, Jesus took the father, mother and disciples into the chamber of death. The occasion was not for a spectacular demonstration of power. Having restored the child to life and to its parents, Jesus admonishes them not to publish the news broadcast. Evidently he was not yet ready to precipitate matters in the minds of the multitude, for of a surety he knew that in certain quarters the fact of the cure would be made known. This is a beautiful picture of love: (1) The Father's love (vv. 22-24). (2) His need; (b) his position "at Jesus' feet"; (c) his plea, "I pray thee;" (d) his insistence, "besought greatly." (2) The Stranger's Plea (vv. 25-35). (a) An interruption; (b) "Of long standing"; (c) Jesus' knowledge; (d) Jesus' response; (e) her confession; (f) her blessing. (3) The Master's Love (vv. 35-43). (a) Jesus' knowledge; the child was not dead in his sight; (b) delay does not mean refusal; (c) the tender resurrection in answer to faith; (d) the provision for her needs. Sorrow brought Jairus to Jesus. Sorrow today brings more men to Jesus than perhaps any other means. Certainly it has been so during this great war. As the ruler of the synagogue Jairus laid aside his pride and hostility to make his plea for help and accent service of Jesus. There are three recorded instances where Jesus raised the dead. This "only daughter," which was a simple and apparently easy matter. (2) The "only son" of a widow, when he "stopped the bier." This was apparently attended with more difficulty than that of the little girl, for "she only slept." The raising of Lazarus, a grown man, apparently presented still greater difficulties. Viewed from our human angle there were difficulties, but with God there are none. His flat created the time and matter worlds. To ascribe difficulty to God is but to judge hib by our standards. The great need in the foreign field is evangelization supplemented by education and the ministry of healing through dispensaries and hospitals. In the midst of the present war situation let us not forget our responsibility to the unevangelized at home and abroad. Jesus is still the Resurrection and the Life for "sleeping" children, communities and nations. Why did Jesus spend so much time in working miracles? To impress the value of his life upon the world as testimony to his divine office, and prophecy of his authority in his coming Kingdom.

Without special regard to the disgraceful and revolting outbreak of mob violence Tuesday in what is usually one of the best ordered of Tennessee communities, it is time for the people of this state who have its best interest at heart who desire its progress and who wish that it may be considered in the front rank of Twentieth century civilization, to consider that for the attainment of these desirable ends such practices must stop. This applies to the whole South, but the Banner wishes now to speak for its own state and the people whose immediate interest it serves, those among whom it moves, lives and has its being, and where it may hope that its voice will be heard. This practice of burning Negro criminals at the stake and subjecting them to torture is rank savagery. It is of no avail to try to excuse or modify it, or call it by any milder name. No really civilized people ever indulged a practice of that kind. The Banner is willing to admit the surprising fact that such outbreaks have occurred in communities where refined and cultivated people live, and where all the outward exhibitions of a Christian civilization are found, but such acts in themselves are unmixed savagery and mark a most painful reversion to primitive conditions, to the wild men who knew no law, in whom human instincts had not developed and who, lacking the power to administer justice, resorted to merciless cruelty in dealing with those who gave of fense. The Banner hopes to see Tennessee grow beyond the possibility of such revolting deeds, and has long hoped for it, but it is a painful and discouraging fact that they grow more frequent, more violent and are characterized by more sickening exhibitions of barbarity. The lynching began with hanging Negroes for rape. It was extended to hanging them for all manner of crimes. Then Negroes were burned for rape and now they are burned and tortured for other offenses. Lynchings are placing the South in the ranks of the backwood, half-civilized people of the earth, and they must be suppressed. It doesn't put any better phase on such evil happenings to argue that they have occurred elsewhere. They are wholly evil and without excuse in one place as much as in another, and our own faults need correcting for our own sake, no matter what those of other people in other regions may need. And it is undeniably true that they occur in about the ratio of ten to one in the South. It avails nothing to rave at the critics of the outside world who condemn us when he have given ample cause for all they say. To torture and burn to death a criminal is not civilization, it is not Christian, and there is no defense for such practice. There is a large and enlightened element of Tennessee citizenship to whom the sinister aspect of such happenings is wholly apparent, and whose minds are not begged and whose morals are not blunted by the manner, of excuse made in their behalf. This element should vigorously assert itself to oppose such practices, and endeavor to awaken the civil authorities to the duty of preventing them. They should try to create a better, higher and more enlightened public sentiment that will not tolerate or give countenance to anything so utterly intolerable. The news of these constantly recurring lynchings go abroad, and they make on people of other lands the same manner of impression concerning Southerners that accounts of the massacres of Armenians by Kurds makes on Americans. When the story of such happenings get to other lands the sympathy is all with the victims and the race that suffers. The Southern whites are charged with revolting brutality because of this lynching, and the trouble is that one such deed in a remote locality will be charged to the whole South, and years will not eradicate the reproach it puts upon us. It is only the encrusted provincial mind that doesn't recognize this fact, and the people need to be brought to a wider and more enlightened view. Mob violence is no proper way to enforce white supremacy. It degrades the white man and argues his inability to keep order or to properly enforce the laws that he has himself created. He can best rule by absolute justice and by commanding universal obedience to law. And it is the duty of the white men, the ruling class, to the Negroes, whose submission to the law they require, to insure the blacks the full protection of the law and absolute justice in its application to them and their affairs. Nothing less is worthy of a race that asserts its superiority. By no other rule can that superiority be safely maintained or its rightfulness impressed on the outside world. It is not the Negro's fault that he is here. He is not an intruder. He is a native to this soil as much as the whites. He is a human being and he is entitled to full recognition of his living rights and his humanity. He is in many ways exceedingly useful. The South needs his labor and prefers it to any other. There is serious objection to his emigration, and, without any regard to his social and political status, he is entitled to humane treatment and the full protection of the law. Anything else reflects on the white people and works to their detriment more than it does to that of the Negro. It is an unquestioned fact that no other people in the position of the Negroes would be so tractable and submissive to the dominance of a superior race. But without regard to this fact it is for the reputation of the whites, for the good of the community in general, for its material prosperity and moral advancement, that lynchings should cease, and these horrible exhibitions of mob madness that resort to barbarous cruelty be forever made impossible. Tennessee should not tolerate them, they should be nowhere tolerated, but the Banner's interest is especially in Tennessee, and it strongly urges that the state should rise to better conditions. The man who writes this article is a native Tennesseean. He was born of a Southern slave-holding family when slavery was still existent. He was reared in a county where there has been always a heavy Negro majority and where all the political evils arising from that condition were suffered. His inheritance, traditions, associations an daffees are wholly Southern. The welfare and advancement of the South in general and of Tennessee in particular, are to him a supreme desire. He knows the full import of the white man's burden. His ideas of race relations are those that prevail with the Southern whites, bue he abominates lawlessness in any form and especially in mob, violence and the revolting creulty of the barbarous lynching.
