STAND BY HUESTON MCDUFFIE ARRESTED AT TULSA EVERY REAL MAN WILL VOTE FOR MRS. ESS The fact that Mr. Hueston is being vigorously assailed for no other reason than that he is a Negro should cause every Negro in the 8th Ward with an ounce of manhood, whether he be Democrat or Republicans, to vote for him.

Interest in the campaign for a Negro Alderman in the Eighth Ward is becoming decidedly intense. After the elation over Mr. Hueston's nomination and ratification by an expressed discordant element, we now proceed to the more difficult proposition of clearing the path of racial obstacles so the nominee may move on happily to a seat in our City's Aldermanic body. All admit that this would be a glorious thing for the Colored people of this city. There are a thousand good reasons why we should have this Representative, and not one why we should not! We are now to prove our mettle as to our loyalty to the principle of Truth and Right. We are to show that we are really free from petty jealousy and that contemptible enviousness which characterizes people of little souls. In short, we are to make an honest and unfailing effort to elect the official candidate to office. There will be two particular things in action to defeat this purpose, namely: The Democratic Party and Mr. L. A. Knox's reprehensible campaign, essentially for L. A. K. The first will command, naturally, the White Democratic vote and will make strenuous efforts to corrupt a portion of the voters in our Race. Considering that there is a growing intelligence among us and that our integrity, in this case, is solidified by pure Race Interest, we look upon Democratic effort in the Eighth Ward with less apprehension than usual, unless this party insinuates itself into the folds of the Knox faction and there work out its usual insidious plan. This being plausible we now take up the most threatening thing against the move to win representation for the Colored people in municipal affairs. Last week, in recounting the nomination of Mr. Heuston, we point out plainly the honorable course any other Negro aspirant should take. We were not specific in naming the person we had in mind and upon whom all the people have their eyes cast to see if he dares to do the one thing which will bring eternal condemnation on his head. But now we proceed to address ourselves to the Hon. L. A. Knox. Mr. Knox, if you persist in carrying out the move you are now engaged in the situation immediately becomes KNOX VERSUS THE WHOLE NEGRO PEOPLE. As a Race Man, as a Lawyer, as one who expects to round out a professional career, can you afford to make such an uncanny name for yourself as being the man who induliously defeated his own people in their splendid and opportune effort to elect a Race Representative? The people would like to know one single basic principle you have upon which you can even offer any argument for your ungraceful move. By virtue of a great organized party and the favoring sentiment of his people, Mr. Heuston, the candidate, has an overshadowing officiality, prestige and support—you have none, except the possible overtures of personal friends. In monarchial circles he would be styled "The Heir to the Throne," you "The Pretender." He has a fighting chance to win—you cannot hope to. By stretching the possible a little the people could hope to win representation even in spite of you, but your withdrawal from the race would gloriously assure the people of victory, for then we would be united and, therefore, have that proverbial strength to win.

The first calls for a Man of Big qualities, one who clearly discerns the needs of his people and proceeds along the lines of well-judged effort to bring them to a Materialization. He places public weal above self interest, Duty above Desire. The second calls for a man, who finding himself in a position where he can either make or mar, leans toward virtue's side and is rather willing to make. Conservatism, lacking the heroic initiative of the Constructive, will allow one to kind a drift into Higher Truths. Of these we recommend either—as you feel. But don't, don't! Mr. Knox, choose the destructive! Keep away from it, avoid it, shun it! It will prove as coals of fire upon thy bosom; a boomerang; the way of self-annihilation! For as you destroy so shall you be destroyed. As you keep the people from their inheritance so shall you be disinherited. AND THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT FORGET! You, Mr. Knox, along with other lawyers, are to be congratulated on making considerable progress in the esteem of your people. What are you going to do—are you going to jeopardize this, yea ruin all by KNIFING the very people from whom you are going to expect your clientele? This is what will happen if you persist. I probably should tell you that Negroes are reading more and more every day and are, therefore, less easily duped than of old. They do not forgive as freely and they never forget. And there are many, many Race people educated and informed who do not aspire to positions of office or leadership, but who are more apt and content with improving citizenship. These will pass judgment upon your actions. If you value your professional or political life don't incur, unnecessarily, the Wrath of these, for if you do you are doomed to worse than obscurity. The Kansas City Sun KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1918. PRINCIPAL LEE APPOINTED. The appointment of Prof. J. R. E. Lee on last Saturday by the Board of Regents of Lincoln Institute to the Presidency of that Institution brought a thrill of satisfaction to his myriad friends in this community as well as the sincere regret that our High School is to lose the services of this valuable and distinguished citizen. It is no disparagement to any of the other Educators of our city to say that the most potent force and uplifting factor that has come to the city of our race in recent years has been Prof. Lee. Of magnificent physique, splendid appearance, genial disposition and untiring energy he has been "a live wire" in every sense of the word in things concerning the race; and has done great things for the High School and the Colored people of this city. We sincerely regret to lose him but are proud of the fact his splendid talent and constructive ability has been recognized by those in control of the state institution of learning; and have no hesitancy in saying that under his guidance and direction Lincoln Institute will soon become one of the foremost Institutions for the Education of Negro youth in this country. The Sun is exceedingly proud of the record made by Prof. J. R. E. Lee. Mrs. Randolph Wisdom, 1031 Highland Avenue joined her husband at Camp Dodge, Ia., last week where he is doing Y. M. C. A. work. She will remain with him until he leaves for France.

They earned their money selling rags, junk, running errands, carrying in coal and so forth and every child in this group contributed their share. The first payment on the Bond was made by little Berenice West who had the honor of presenting in a well chosen but brief address the Bond to Chairman Crews. He in response complimented them upon their splendid effort and told them they had set a wholesome example for the entire race in this community. After a few words from Principal Harrison and Miss Olden, the children were grouped in front of the building where they gave a salute to the flag and then posed for the splendid portrait which is pictured herewith. Hurrah for the children of the Fifth Grade of Attucks School. BARKER FOR TREASURER. Harry E.

He arived at the camp wearing a pair of No. 14 brogans which were too small. By and by Cleveland's No. 14's began to wear out, and army officers tried to find a shoe to fit him. They tried a pair of No. 12, double E shoes but Cleveland could not begin to get his feet into them. Rather than go to the expense of having shoes made at cost of $15 or $20. Private Ivey was given his honorable discharge. MRS. ESS ENDORSED. At a largely attended meeting held in the Women's headquarters in the Masonic temple 18th and Woodland last Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Women's Political League, Mrs. Henry N.

Strong pressure was brought to bear on the complainant by followers of the preacher to induce Mrs. Mills not to prosecute him, but the case was called and after the evangelist virtually pleaded guilty and apologies for his conduct promising to be good, the case was dismissed by Judge Daniel.—Tulsa, Okla., Star. THE 15th N. Y. REGIMENT BAND. Lyons, France.—The 15th N. Y. regiment, one of the units of the American army in this country, was recently here. No regiment received greater welcome than did this crack Afro-American regiment. The entire city turned out to greet it, the officials of the city extending the welcome. When its band, under the leadership of James R. Europe, swung down the streets of Lyons, followed by the regiment, the people of this city was treated to music that simply charmed them, and all Lyons now declares that it is the grandest band that ever visited here.

Washington.—Secretary of War Baker has received a letter from Governor Catts of Florida, complaining because the negroes in the first Florida draft have not been called for service, while all the whites have been in the training camps for several months. There have been numerous complaints and much agitation all over Florida, Governor Catts says in his letter, because the state has been drained of white men, and all the negroes have been left behind to eat, sleep and loaf. There is some discussion among the whites, the governor says, that the negroes should be taken to prevent them from attacking the whites. Six thousand whites were conscripted from Florida in the first contingent and put in training camps, while the 4,000 negroes whose names were drawn still are at home, Governor Catts says.

A delegation of white Baptists were in attendance and lent aid and counsel to the gathering and it was finally decided that the two bodies were to meet in the same city this summer, a place to be selected by a joint committee appointed of which Dr. Hurse is a member, where it is expected a formal consolidation of the two bodies will be perfect. Judging from the newspaper accounts of the gathering, Dr. Hurse was a prominent figure in the deliberations of the assembly and preached one of the ablest sermons of the gathering.

Volun- teer committees were secured to carry out several plans included in the prep- arations for the event, and along with these movements which took place on Sunday the 10th, $97.50 was raised toward conference claims.

TO TALK TO COLORED FOLKS. | After the plan of extension work be- ing followed in Lincoln High, the Kan- sas City Negro school, J. S. Moten, principal Douglas colored school, this city, has arranged for a series of Sun- day aftetrnoon meetings of colored school children and the colored people of the town, in general, for the next six or eight Sundays, at each of which some prominent professional or busi- ness man of Pleasant Hill will speak, the idea being to bring the colored children and their elders into closer touch with and better understanding of the ways and wherefores of bust- hess and the professions. The prin- cipal points out that his pupils get plenty of study and school work and the older ones, as well as the young, are quite consistent in their attend- ance at church services. But they do not get sufficiently into touch with the every-day activities about them, hence Moen’s commendable enterprise in behalf of those of his race, The first of the meetings will be at the Second Baptist church next Sun- day afternoon, 4 to 5 o'clock, at which time the Rev, McSkimming has prom- ised to speak. Mr. McSkimming will be introduced by H. H. Schaeperkoet- ter, superintendent of schools, Oth- ers who have promised to give brief talks upon succeeding occasions are G. R, Chamberlin, E. B. Pearce, Archie Mahaffey, principal of Central High and Dr. H. M, Grant, the latter to talk on “Home Sanitation.” PLATTSBURG. MO.

Every Negro in the Eighth Ward should support William C. Hueston. ‘The evil that men do lives after them, Take notice and govern your- selves accordingly. Possibly no writer has grasped the political situation as concisely and ac- curately as has our brilliant. corres- pondent Chas. A. Starks. Read what he says this week. And dispute it if you can, On Monday of this week there were seven Colored teachers absent from work on account of illness. There are no substitutes for the Colored schools and the work is embarrassed in this way almost daily. It should not require any intricate organization of political machinery to elect Hueston from the Eighth ward. Every black voter who lays any claim to decency and race loyalty should vote for him without being “seen” by the ward heelers. White Republican yoters of the Bighth ward are also on trial. We shall be able to see whether or not they will stand hitched to the doctrines of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Me- Kinley. If they show the yellow streak they cannot place the blame upon the Negro voters. ‘The Editor was pained to hear of the death of his life long friend, Prof. Herbert Beach of Chillicothe, Mo., last Monday. Prof. Beach was one of the race's most aggressive and accomplish. ed young men and his death will be a distinct loss to the community in which he lived, The Sun extends te the bereaved family its deepest sym pathy. THAT COMMUNITY SPIRIT. There is in this town a growing spirit to broaden as well as intensify the work of community interests, It is both Right and Beautiful. It is the thing that will bring us the most en- durable Good. About five years ago the Y. M. C, A, movement sprung in- to bigness and swept us off our feet with its magnitudinal success. This taught us four things with consider- able force. First, that we have re- sources, Second That we are respon- sive. Third, that we have competent workers. Fourth, That we can com- mand the cooperative attention of the other race with the undoubted things that go to make a better community tone for us and therefore, a Greater Kansas City for all. Since then we have noticed increased activities along the same line of uplift, all succeeding more or less and giving confidence and assurance of bigger and better things as we go. Then, too, we have not been slow in meeting the National eligencies the World War has brought about. As a community we have shown a reasonable patriotic spirit and we have sought place and oppor tunity without waiting on the ceorcion of the Draft, Our contribution to the Liberts Loan does us credit; our conduct to wards the Red Cross was beautiful; our Negro Hospital move was a Revel ation in specific race effort and now comes the Aldermanic campaign with its currents and cross currents, testing whether we are strong enough to over come the false parriers of petty jeal ousies and put Kansas City in with those Negro centers we have already named. I, for one, believe it can bi done.—Starks. TO THE WISE MAN. If you have a Few Dollars to invest in something to help you in years to come when old age and the rainy day set in, I can’t emphasize the fact with sincerity enough when I tell you to invest in real estate—either city or farm.

One of Our Young Men Who Has Blazoned Out a New Path In the Profession In Which He Is Positively Making Good. In the district bounded by Campbell street on the West, Tracy Avenue on the East and Eighth street on the North, and on the South by tenth street lies Kansas City's Athens. In this territory are found colleges, hospitals and schools of Philosophy that are famous internationally and are conducted by some of the brightest minds in America. Heretofore among the graduates of these schools could be found members of every race under the Sun except the Negro. Now comes the Negro: aroused by the call of world-wide-democracy, the race unlimbers its giant form and battles for its place in the sun. It knocks for admission at the doors of the nearest institutions of all sorts of higher knowledge that the sons and daughters of Ethiopia might with equal dignity and competence stand beside the respected of the earth. Kansas City's pioneer in this endeavor is I. M. Horton who after passing a rigid examination as to intellect, previous training and character was admitted to the classes of Needles College of Optometry, 9th and Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, Mo., on equal terms with his white classmates and is now graduated with high class standing as is shown by the following letter which the faculty in appreciation of his class work and general conduct in this school joined in presenting to Dr. Horton on his graduation: Kansas City, Mo., March 20, 1918. Dr. I. M. Horton, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Sir:— We take this opportunity to commend you for the studiousness and efficiency which you displayed while a student in our college. The manner in which you passed your final examinations assures us of your ability to practice Optometry with proficiency. We have had many inquiries from members of your race regarding eye service and complaints of little opportunity to get proper attention for their eyes. We take pleasure in recommending you as being entirely competent. We made an exception in receiving you into the College but feel that we were justified by the results. Very truly yours, Needles Institute of Optometry. Members of his class are employed in the Optical departments of Pecks, Jones and Merry Optical Company. Graduates of this school are treating the eyes at Julius Baehr's and are prescribing in other of the leading Refracting Parlors in the city. And we are assured by the Faculty of the School that in ability Dr. Horton ranks with the best men the school has trained which is saying much for this school is famous internationally. The Doctor is located over the Peoples Drug store in association with Drs Lambright, Shannon and Carrion. The Colored people of Kansas City are fortunate in having among them an ex pert in Optometry to consult with when the eye-sight gets bad. Dr. Horton brought in the first cash subscription to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital during the recent campaign, being a member of Dr. Walker's famous team No. 3. The Sun speaks for Isaiah Horton. He is a Kangas City boy, Kansas City trained, completing courses in our Ward School, High School, and Lincoln Institute. He is competent and there is no reason why he should not be well patronized by us. If you need eye glasses or wish information concerning the care of your eyes, call to see him. In this connection and to help in the better Health Campaign for Negroes Dr. Horton will hold office consultation on Eyesight troubles free of charge from 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 M. every day except Thursdays and Sundays. On Thursdays from 2:00 P. M. to 5:00 P. M. Mrs. Ramsey, wife of Dr. E. B. Ramsey, has a serious case of pneudomonia and is under the care of Dr. Fletcher with Mrs. J. B. Beckham, one of the best nurses of the race in charge. We wish for her a speedy recovery. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION. W. T. White. "Self-reliance and self-denial will teach a man to drink out of his own cistern, and eat his own sweet bread, and to learn and labor truly to get his own living, and carefully to save and expend the good things committed to his trust." To become self-reliant one must appropriate unto himself that for which there is demand and acquire ability to dispense that which has been appropriated to advantage. Educators who have dared to advocate vocational activities in connection with general academic education have met with dynamic opposition. By many they have been styled as madmen at large, spreading a dogma that would prove as dangerous to the recipient as the poisonous hemlock was to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. To declare yourself in favor of any industrial propaganda, fostered by public funds, as a part of the country's great educational system, has been by many styled a grave lack of wisdom. Read history with your hearts and not with your prejudice and it will be found that a very large percent of the world's population must eat its bread through industrial activities. How necessary it is them, that preparation be made to meet the conditions that surrounds us. Those who work in the industries have a right to a training that will fit them for their task. The time has passed when the issue can be evaded, think we as we may concerning forms of education. Had industrial training been as general in the past as it promises to be in the future, many of the perplexing problems now confronting us would not exist. There is a call at this time for carpenters, masons, machinists, etc., that cannot be filled because of a lack of skilled men. Every day inquiry is made concerning the possibility of securing men, skilled in the trades, to fill places that pay well. How long shall we sit in lethargy and let the progressive procession pass unheeded? Industrial education has been advocated by the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial education for many years. This society has not any time, had in mind the inflicting of vocational training on any people because of race identification or affiliation. In fact the question of race has not been involved. Only moral, physical and intellectual qualifications are demanded. The National Vocational Act provides that Federal Grants shall be made for the purpose of co-operating with the states in the promotion of Vocational Education. This Act went into effect July 1st, 1917. The total appropriation for all states that quality in 1917 and 1918 is $1,700,000. This fund increases automatically until 1925 and 1926 when the annual appropriation will be $7,200,000. The great war now in progress over the major portion of the civilized world, is taking away from all countries concerned, many of the best mechanics and artisans. Many years will be required to replace what this great catastrophe has wrought. A true picture of the real condition cannot at this time be drawn. We are safe in saying, however, that the demand for skilled artisans to take the places of those whose fate will have been sealed when this great turmil has been concluded, will be large. Let no man sit idly by waiting for the opportunity to come before he prepares himself for the task that is surely to be his. Many are advised to steer clear of any tread of training that prepares the recipient to serve in the industrial world, but the advisors seldom if ever give their clients tangible solution with which to solve the problems that are sure to be met. That vocational education is to play an important part in many public school curriculums in the future is without question. Not what we say but what we do will count in this great onward march of progress. "The world will little note what we say here but it can never forget what we do here." Much has been said about preparation for life. Education for citizenship is the prime purpose which underlies every public school system. Training for these two conditions means the same thing. For after all, citizenship is only the expression of the life of the citizen. It is the fond hope of every pupil who enters the public school, to eventually earn a living. That he should receive training, as nearly as possible that will fit him for his future pursuit, is at least logical. Fourteen years of experience have brought to my observation various classes and conditions of children. Many of them expect to complete the courses offered in the public school and probably some special course beyond the high school in order to prepare themselves for the work they intend to follow. Statistics tell us that less than five per cent of the pupils who enter kindergarten ever finish any school beyond the high school course. Less than twenty percent finish high school and a large number never get to high school; still another host never complete the grade. A vocational program needs to be arranged that will apply all along the public school curriculum. Young people who have to leave school in the grades, and high school, perhaps because they have not been well advised and probably because it becomes necessary to earn the sustenance of life, have a special claim on any program that may be arranged in a public school system. These pupils, most of all, need a strong arm of protection thrown about them in order that they may make good citizens. I find that most children are eager to advance, and will follow instruction for good so long as they can be kept from the clutches of sinister advice. A program aiming to carry out the idea of helping the pupil help himself, by giving him an opportunity to learn to do well the task that is sure to be his, is not a substitute for existing school organization. Vocational education does not replace anything we now have, and the fears of some, that the introduction of such training will disrupt the whole educational system is entirely unfounded. Vocational education is wholly constructive in principle. It expands the whole school system so as to include in it a very great number of girls and boys, for whom heretofore the schools have been able to do very little so far as preparation for life is concerned. The purpose of the program as provided under the Smith-Hughes Bill, providing for the promotion of industrial education, is to do something for the individual as a member of society and society itself. For the individual it proposes to develop his skill and capacity to do things, to increase his wage-earning power, to develop in him a respect for and a pride in his work, and an ambition to excel in it, all of which are very desirable things for the individual citizen. For society it proposes to raise the plane of industrial efficiency and industrial citizenship. The Federal Board emphasizes the fact that vocational classes are not fostered under the Smith-Hughes Act for the purposes of giving instruction to the backward, deficient, incorrigible or otherwise subnormal individuals, but that schools and classes are to be established for the clearly avowed purpose of giving thorough vocational training to the healthy, normal individuals to the end that they may be prepared for profitable and efficient employment. Such training should command the best efforts of normal boys and girls. Y. M. C. A. Sunday afternoon at the Men's meeting the Rev. Morris H.

The musical instrument had quite a repertoire. The man in uniform had to feed it a large meal of nickels before it got around to "The Star Spangled Banner" again. When the strains of that song finally rang out, the soldier stood straight. All the dinners arose. Every man and woman stood, this time, while the song ran its course. The soldier looked pleased, but said nothing. He kept feeding money into the piano. Every time "The Star Spangled Banner" came around, everybody in the room stood up. Once more the national anthem came around. This time the man the two women who had refused to stand up in the first place made for the door. The man had his hat on.

GOAL FOR 1918 CANNERS—1,500,000,000 QUARTSI JARS Wash Boiler With False Bottom Makes a Home Canner Which a Girl Can Operate. GET READY FOR BIG FALL PACK Specialists Advise Ordering Equipment Early and See That Cans Are Ready. EXAMINE ALL USEABLE JARS Putting Up Food at Home Saves Transportation Later—Last Year's Pack Estimated at 850,000,000 —Goal Set for 1918. One billion five hundred million quarts of home-canned produce in 1918! A goal has been set for the 1918 home canners. The stupendous size of it might make it appear impossible of attainment were it not for the fact that the American family's ability to can, in a patriotic situation, has been demonstrated. The great canning effort for the year 1917 has been estimated at 850,000,000 packs by officials of the United States department of agriculture. But there are still thousands of unfilled jars in every township of the United States, the specialists say, in setting the new goal and advising early preparations for the 1918 campaign. If a slogan is needed "Fill every jar in every home, keep every jar busy throughout the year," is suggested. Pack for Last Year. The method of arriving at the estimated countrywide pack for last year is interesting. Eight of the principal concerns in the United States manufacturing rubber jar rings reported a production for use in home canning of 836,761,248 rubber rings. Retailers and jobbers, it is understood, carried over from the year 1910 a large supply of rubber jar rings. Taking into account the special caps that were sold and the use of jar rings a second time, the officials believe it is safe to estimate the number of packs made in homes last year at 850,000,000. Quart Jar for Canning. Quart Jar for Canning. Canning in most homes is done in quart jars. It is reasonable to assume that the two-quart packs may be used to offset the pint packs, specialists say, and that therefore the total pack estimated might safely be expressed in quarts. Placing a general average value of 20 cents a quart upon this product, the estimated value of hermetically sealed food canned in homes is $170,000,000. In most cases this food was produced on the farm or in the backyard garden, was canned in the family kitchen, stored in the pantry, and is being consumed in the home. The transportation facilities of the country were not taxed in the production of this food and in most cases it was produced on soil that otherwise would have been idle, with labor that would have been unable to find useful employment. Careful About Salt. The bureau of chemistry, united States department of agriculture, warns consumers against buying table salt from peddlers or other persons whose reliability is not established. Salt recently offered by a peddler In Washington was found to contain serious amounts of arsenic. The opinion is expressed that the salt possibly was recovered from a refrigerating plant or may have been the sweepings from a warehouse. Other lowgrade or by-product salt contains sufficient barium chloride to be poisonous and dangerous in food. Such salt, under the food and drugs act, must be labeled or invoiced "Not for food purposes." Irresponsible dealers, however, may offer it for sale for human consumption. Such sale is, of course, in violation of state or federal laws, and renders the leader, if caught, liable to prosecution. The attention of the public is called to the need of great care in the purchase of lowgrade food products offered at bargain prices. FEDERAL SERVICE SHOWS MORE SUGAR CONSUMED Returns from the first war emergency food survey made by the U. S. department of agriculture indicates that the amount of sugar consumed in 1917 was about 88.3 pounds per capita whereas the average annual consumption for the five-year period ending in 1916 was 84.7 pounds per capita. The evident increase in consumption, says the department, is due in part to the increased manufacture for export of commodities like condensed milk and to an increase in population coupled with an increased consumption by individuals and to an increase in consumers' stocks. --- Prepare for Home Canning. Collect all used jars. Examine each carefully. Discard all defective containers and damaged tops. Clean all useable jars and store with tops in place. Order any additional jars needed and lay in a supply of new rubber rings. Make sure that the clean wash boiler or other large vessel that you will use for your hot-water bath are free from leaks. Examine and test pressure or other special canning apparatus if you have it. If you use a wash boiler or large pail provide a false bottom of slats or bent wire. Strong wire trays with long upright handles make good false bottoms and enable the housewife to lift out groups of hot jars from the water bath. SAVE LITTLE SUGAR TODAY Substitute Other Sweets. Cook cereals with dates or raisins and serve without sugar. Cook dried fruits without sugar. Sweeten fruits with honey or maple or corn syrup. Make puddings, cakes and other pastry with part corn syrup, molasses, or honey instead of all sugar. For a cupful of sugar in a cake recipe substitute a cupful of syrup or honey and for each cupful so used lessen the amount of liquor in the recipe by one-quarter cupful. HOME IN WILD PLACES Adventures That Would Demoralize Ordinary Man Apparently Have No Effect on John Muir. John Vance Cheney, the poet, told me this story of his long-time friend, John Muir, William H. Hamby writes in the Outlook. "One night, after a long absence, Muir walked in, as he often did, looking like a wild man, and sat down by my fire. He had been up in the Sierra for weeks. "Had a beautiful storm up there," said Muir, after he got a little accustomed to the fire and the presence of a fellow human being. "Snow was waistdeep in most places. One night I found a crevasse where steam was coming out of the mountain. I lay down as close to it as I could and when one side froze numb I would turn it over to the steam. "In the night I dozed and waked to feel something warm on my face that did not feel like steam. I did not stir, but opened my eyes very slowly. It was a grizzly bear licking my face! "The geologist looked around at me with a twinkle. 'Now I call that a right friendly act of that old bear.' "Didn't you ever get scared at anything in the woods?' I asked. He always went into the wilds unarmed. In fact, usually the only preparation he would make for a five months' trip would be to take his hat off the hall rack. "Well,' he confessed, 'once I was a little embarrassed by fear. You know what acres of blackberries grow up in the mountains. They were ripe, and I waded into a patch to help myself. There was a scuffling noise 15 feet away and I saw an old grizzly also helping himself. His method was to reach out and rake in an armful, eating berries, tops and all. That old grizzly looked at me in a way that suggested I was an intruder, a trespasser, committing a willful misdemeanor. "I returned his look in the friendliest sort of way, trying to convey to him the impression that I had no thought of intrusion; that I admitted the berry patch was his, but in passing had merely stopped to taste a mouthful of berries—and that I was going on in a minute. "I did,' smiled John Mulr, 'n less than a minute, for he did not seem to get my impression, but started to gather me in with his next armful of blackberry vines." "Fittest" Under Arctic Circle. We think of Greenland as a frozen and desolate land, fit only for the abode of the hardy Eskimos. And yet in Finland, in a severe northern climate, has grown up a hardy and virile race, Nevin O. Winter writes in the Christian Herald. Perhaps it was because only the sturdiest could survive under such conditions, for isolation bred self-reliance and industry was necessary to existence. At any rate, the fact remains that the Finns have developed a civilization that is unique and of interest. It is not surprising, to one familiar with the Finns and their history, to know that a republic has been proclaimed. No people are more truly democratic. Under the autocratic rule of the czars Finland maintained her democratic institutions, and it was the only part of Russia where the traveler was free to move about without having a demand made almost daily for his passport. The Russian calendar, which is thirteen days behind our own, was ignored and in every way the public and social customs differed from those of the Russians A Chemist's Service. A few days ago a visitor at the Mineola aviation camp asked a skilled air chauffeur what were his most trying experiences when two or three thousand feet aloft. He said the worst was the numbing effect of the cold, high wind, combined often with rain. No equipment has yet been perfected whereby an aviator under these conditions can protect himself. A be-numbed aviator reduces the efficiency of an airplane 50 per cent or more. This aviator was informed that the chemists had solved the problem of a garment that will keep rain out, that will maintain a comfortable temperature of the body and protect from piercing wind. A distinguished chemist in the service of a large industrial corporation was asked if he could perfect a formula for cotton cloth that would furnish a garment practically indestructible, not cracking, as rubber does in high altitudes, and that would keep out cold and rain. He worked out a cloth which is the delight of those aviators now using it. It can be manufactured at very little cost. Dared Death for Shipmate. The unusual chance of saving a man who was endeavoring to save another came to an American sailor and he has just been commended for his bravery by the secretary of the navy. The incident occurred off the aeronautical station at Pensacola, Fla. George Buckley, a seaman, and A. J. Gash, an apprentice, were sailing in a motor dory attached to the station when it caught fire. Not being able to extinguish the flames they jumped overboard. Gash became unconscious and Buckley went to his assistance. A life preserver was thrown to the men, but by accident it struck Buckley in the face. He was then trying to keep Gash afloat, but the unexpected blow caused him to lose his hold. On the commandant's barge, which had reached the scene of the accident, was John R. Hay, a coxwain. Seeing what had happened to Buckley he jumped overboard and dove to the bottom of the bay in an attempt to recover Gash's body. Hay enlisted in the navy in October, 1913 IGOROTS,WILD BUT LOYAL THE TRAVELLER'S GUIDE TO THE HOLIDAYS OF THE HUNGARIAN PEOPLE Igorot Chiefs and Warriors. THOSE wild men of the mountains of the island of Luzon, the hardy, brown-skinned Igo- the hardy, brown-skinned igorots, have gone to the caves and hiding places where they buried their treasure in the long ago before Dewey broke the shackles of Spanish rule and have unearthed sacks of Spanish and Mexican coins and carried them over mountain trails to Gov. Hillario Logan as their Liberty loan contribution. "Please send this offering for the use of the Great Apo across the sea," was their simple request. It amounts to about $8,891. As an example of how this primitive people answered the call of the Great Apo for help when the last Liberty loan drive was made by Governor Logan, it is told that three Benguet Igorots came in from an out-of-the-way corner of the mountains one day, carrying sacks of old Spanish treasure, amounting to more than $1,447.50. Commenting on this humble offering, the Manila Bulletin says: "The 1,500 pesos, while not in themselves a great amount when the Philippine total subscriptions of over $6,500,000 is taken into consideration, are regarded by the authorities of the mountain province as the most significant contribution to the entire Liberty loan campaign in the islands, coming as they do from an aboriginal people who never before trusted any savings bank but mother earth, but have been led in 18 years to confide in the integrity of the "Great Apo across the seas" to such an extent that they unearth their treasure and lug it over the mountains that it may be sent to him to aid in prosecuting the war against Germany. "This was not all of the Igorot subscription by any means, according to the reports which have just reached this city from the mountain capital, these stating that the 4,000 pesos subscribed by the Igorots of Benguet province formed a part of the 44,000 pesos ($42,640) subscription given by the civilian residents of Bagulo and the immediate vicinity. The greatest surprise of all was the eagerness of the Igorots throughout the subprovince and Governor Logan may well be proud of his work. In the few days he had at his disposal he reached even the most distant towns in the mountains and aroused the Igorots to their great demonstration of patriotism." Want to Go to the Front. Not only did the Igorots give their treasure, but they offered their services to Governor General Harrison, and are anxious to go to France to help the Great Apo to win the war for freedom. Judge James Ross of the colonial administration, who recently made an extended tour of Luzon, said that every mountain station where he stopped was filled with natives who asked for a chance to enlist. Each native came in with his discharge papers, showing the length and quality of service he had rendered to the government of the Philippines. Then, saying that he had heard the United States was at war with Germany, he would urge his claim to bear arms under the American flag. Judge Ross would advise the sturdy volunteer to rejoin the constabulary, in which many vacancies exist, but this would not satisfy the Igorot. One and all wanted to fight. When one stops to consider the barbaric life that the Igorot still lives, this offer of treasure and service to Uncle Sam is all the more remarkable. For the Igorot is still very much himself and is totally different from all his other Philippine brothers. Americans are establishing schools, and education is making some progress. But the Igorots have no laws, and each community is ruled by a council of old men, they live in the northwestern section of the island of Luzon, and number about 185,000. Theirs is a mountainous country, six days' march inland from the nearest civilized town. They are a mixture of savage, barbarian and civilized people. Worship One God. They have one god, Lumawig, and their religious system is a sort of worship of the spirits of the departed, whom they believe to inhabit the earth just as before they died, except that they are invisible to mortal eyes. The Igorots are moral and upright, from their standpoint, and their code of conduct, although simple, is strict. They worship in their homes, and in the fields, but have no priests. They have no written language and no literature of any sort. But they, have a number of curious folk tales. One is somewhat akin to the Adam and Eve story. Lumawig, out of love for his people, sent an old couple to earth with a new food for the Igorot tribes. The old couple on a certain day were to explain its use to the mortals, but the latter became curious and could not wait until the appointed time. Two of the Igorots stole the bag in which the new food was hidden. This so angered Lumawig that he said the Igorots thereafter would have to till the ground and gain their food by the sweat of their brows. The new food was rice. It today is the great staple of the people. Rice and sweet potatoes are the only things they raise. Another legend tells of the origin of head hunting. In warfare the Igorot always brings home the heads of his victims. One day the Moon, which is a woman, was beating out brass. The young child of the Sun stood near by, watching. His scrutiny angered the Moon, and she threw a stick at him, causing decapitation. The Sun then appeared and put his child's head back on his trunk, declaring that because of the Moon's wanton act mortals would henceforth cut off each other's heads when in wrath. Know How to Irrigate. Although primitive in their planting and harvesting the Igorots mastered all the details of irrigation. This is the source of their prosperity. They have terraced all the mountainsides and raise two crops of rice a year. While the Igorots as a race are small, they are exceptionally well developed. They are great mountain climbers. Dress reform does not bother them. A thin breechcloth and a happy smile make up their costume, which they wear the year round. They are much like the aboriginal Indian of America in many customs, one in particular being that the women do all the work, while the men sit around in indolent ease, smoking green tobacco in ill-smelling pipes. The women and children smoke, too. Superstition enters into their cures for sickness. When a part of the body is injured they tattoo little stars all over the spot, believing that by this means they will drive out the little devils that have taken up their abode there. Being exposed to the sun and weather at all times they are constantly shedding their skin. When death occurs in a family the natives take chicken meat and other foods and a great feast is held, followed by a wild dance similar to the dances of the American Indians. The body is then buried, and the personal belongings of the dead person are handed among the relatives and the visitors depart. For ornamentation the women gather little berries, which they string and which are then plaited in the strands of their black hair. They relish dog meat, and after they have fattened a dog on rice they have a barbecue and a wild dance, beating doleful music from the copper and brass and wooden tomtoms. But with all their quaint and savage customs the Igorots are patriotic to the American flag now, and want to go to the trenches for the Great Apo. As a Man Is Judged. Remember, it is not the kind of work you are going to do, but the kind of work you now turn out that counts. Your future is a guess forecasted only by the present. Exceptional unexpected fitness seldom appears. It never happens. It is a matter of growth if it comes at all. Latent ability may lie dormant until challenged by some great task, but it will be a mental competence physically handicapped if it hasn't been working up to its job. With the right intelligence and will power there is no reason why you can't work up. You have the same chance that has made others great. If your mentality and skill are equal to theirs, why can't you do what they have done. If they are not you have no reason to complain. When you make your life count, obstacles and problems will become pleasures. Men of metal rejoice in the chance to prove themselves. As a Man Is Judged. STORIES OF AMERICAN CITIES Not Strictly Ethical, Perhaps, but He Got Results Not Strictly Ethical, Perhaps, but He Got Results CAMP WHEELER, MACON, GA.—A company of negro soldiers, called to the National army from south Georgia cotton fields, failed to grasp the technical military terms of the drillmaster after several days' discouraging work on the parade grounds, so into the tion.

"Now all along de line dar, lift dem guns, lift dem guns," Sergt. T. W. J. threw his hand forward in another convincing half semicircle and snapped his fingers again and again. Instantly every one of the Georgia cotton field patriots shouldered arms and eagerly awaited the next command. They were an ambitious lot; they were anxious to do their best for Uncle Sam. "Now pint 'em! Make ready! Let 'em go! All along de line, dar, let 'em go!" The rifle butts were pressed against the shoulders, aim was taken and the triggers snapped. The darkles worked in perfect unison. "Drap dem guns, all along de line dar, drap dem guns!"

"Sergeant," said the drillmaster, congratulating Thomas Washington Jefferson, "it looks mightily as if your chances of winning chevroons are good. Your methods are not according to the letter of the military decalog, but they certainly attain the same prescribed results." Mr. Blue Crane and the Indigestible Bed Spring SAN FRANCISCO.—Mr. Fletcher, who slew his wife and fled to the wilderness or somewhere, has come back, his penance apparently done. Such was the rumor that has stirred Golden Gate park, and it was confirmed by Ser and snapping up every gopher or field mouse which came his way, and then being a twig again, he now abstains from meat eating, only fish, as he might in Lent or in Advent. "He came and settled in Slattery's pool, down by the race track; stood on one leg, as in the old days, but only dipping after fish and eels. "Lots of things that are neither fish nor eels get into Slattery's pool. One of them was a bed spring. "Mr. Fletcher dipped his beak on the bed spring and gave it his usual one gulp. "Well, Mr. Fletcher is only a blue crane, and bed springs are bed springs. "The bird may well, thank his stars this night that our friend Kavanaugh, here, was just going by on his horse at the time. There was the crane fighting the bed spring in the middle of Slattery's pool, and the bed spring—half down the crane's neck—fighting Mr. Fletcher and refusing to budge one way or the other." His Conscientious Scruples Apparently Overcome C LEVELAND.—It took A. E. Giblin, chief clerk of the district draft appeals board, about three minutes to overcome the conscientious scruples of a selective objector. A man about twenty-seven, weighing upward of 200 pounds ashamed of you!" By this time Giblin's visitor all but frothing at the mouth. He had thrown his hat onto a chair and squared off for action. "Don't call me a coward," he yelled, making a lunge at Giblin. "You've gone too far now with your talk. I'll make you eat those words." Giblin was accomplishing his purpose, and knew it. "Just a minute," he said. "You suggested when you came in that Germany and the allies ought to arbitrate their difficulties. Let's arbitrate." "Arbitrate, —!" shouted the visitor. "I'll make you fight." Then Giblin laughed. "I knew," he said. "If I got you mad enough you'd want to fight. That's the spirit. When you get to France and the Germans get you mad, you'll account for a dozen of 'em. Go on home now and get ready to join the colors." And the conscientious objector of a few minutes before, now thoroughly angry, stamped out of Giblin's office.

On his first morning at home the officer was seated on the back porch when uncle came out, removed his coat and began his exercise—arms up, arms out, arms across the chest, etc. The officer watched him in increasing astonishment.

Here is a group of suits for spring that even the unpracticed eye—at a glance—will perceive to be quite unlike the suits of yesterday. Their designers have wandered into green fields and pastures new, gathering ideas, and are displaying the results of their wanderings now in suits that have many interesting style features. They appear to have centered attention on coats and to have agreed that skirts shall be plain, hang straight, or show a little narrowing toward the bottom, and reach at least to the shoe top. In coats the most noticeable innovation is the uneven line at the bottom of the coat skirt. There is only an occasional coat that is even at the bottom edge, but this variety is good style always. Another new feature in coats is the fitted-in lines at the back, which are achieved by new methods of cutting and shaping, that almost vie with semifitted models in point of numbers. There are many coats that fall to close at the front, and some whose only closing point is at the waistline. These open models are worn with light waistcoats in some cases, or over blouses that are glimpsed to the waist. At the left of the picture a very graceful and clever coat has pointed fronts and its skirt is set on to a ```markdown ``` L TUNIC SKIRT OF STRIPED SILK. double-breasted body ending in a belt across the front. There is a little ripple in the skirt of the coat, which slopes upward from the front and across the back. Some models of this kind are very short at the back. The collar and cuffs are of satin with white polka dots and the skirt narrows toward the hem. At the right of the picture the suit of serge maintains more mannish lines, but reverses the order of things shown in the other suit. Its coat slopes down in a curved line across the back, and is one of the longest models shown. It is worn over a low-cut vest of white wash satin and has a satin overcorollar. The edges are bound with narrow silk braid and strips of this braid, with two bone buttons finish the cuff. The skirt is plain and hangs almost straight. Little sketches elsewhere in the picture reveal the diversity of the new --- styles. Assortments are so wide in suits that every woman may have the satisfaction of satisfying her own style and preferences when she makes a selection. The dressy, separate silk skirt has made a history for itself that insures its welcome every season, but its great day is ushered in with spring. Its rival, the sports skirt, has promoted it; success for the separate skirt of silk is sure and deserved, and there is no end to the variety in silks and color combinations that make it a thing of beauty this spring. Two or three shades of one color in stripes and plaids, or combinations of contrasting colors, or colors with crossbars in black or white, in as many designs as we find in ginghams, make the choice unlimited, but so far stripes have been developed into the most attractive of the new skirts. The season is dominated by two styles, each with many variations. One is the skirt laid in plaits about the waistline and the other is the tunic skirt. The plaited skirt is not so new as the tunic, but it is too good looking, and may be fitted with too much good style for women to leave it out of their reckoning. Tunicls, like coats, are usually uneven in length. They are ingeniously ```markdown ``` draped and here the art of the designer either shines or falls. In the skirt shown above a single piece of silk is so well managed in the draping that the stripes run diagonally across the front and horizontally across the back. A feature to be noted is the disposition of most of the fullness in the tunic at the front of the skirt and the sash of silk, like the skirt, tied in a bow of two loops, at the front of the waist. The square end of the silk used for the tunic is cascaded at the left side and nicely finished with a row of small, flat buttons set close together. The underskirt is plain and narrow, merely two lengths of goods sewed together and finished with a three-inch hem. Julia Bottomly --- Beecher Street By R. RAY BAKER (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) If Ethel Drayton had done some real reasoning instead of leaping at conclusions and acting on impulse, it is likely that her bark of romance, with Clif Elridge in command, would have sailed scenely down the river of agreeableness into the sea of matrimony without encountering a storm. On the other hand, that kind of journey would not have been real romance—it would have lacked zest—so perhaps it is just as well that Herman Hartell came over to Ethel's desk that dreary, rainy afternoon in April and unfolded the secret. "I have something to say that is very disagreeable to me," began Hartell as he brushed a hand caressingly over his miniature moustache and looked down at Ethel's curly brown hair collar on the back of her head in a business-like knob that served as a pencil holder. "Nevertheless," he went on. "I feel in duty bound to say it." Ethel jerked a sheet of paper from her typewriter and turned her black eyes up at the head shipping clerk. The tiny, bristling ridge of hair on Hartell's upper lip forced a smile to her face, but this was dispelled when Hartell explained: "It's about Clifford. You see, last night—" While this conversation was taking place, the subject of the remarks sat on a high stool at the other side of the Lewis Wholesale Paper company's shipping office and poured over a file of orders. Out of a corner of his eye he saw the head shipping clerk approach the stenographer's desk, and he frowned. Hartell leaned over Ethel's chair as he revealed the secret, and Cliff ruffled his flaxen hair with one hand and chrummed on his desk with the other. Half an hour later Cliff slipped from his stool and into his light overcoat. Carrying his hat, he approached Ethel, who was still busy at the typewriter. He passed and smiled pleasantly, but she continued rattling the keys. "You needn't trouble yourself to wait for me," she informed him in licy tones without pausing in her work or looking up. "Til be a little late, and Mr. Hurtel has promised to see me home." Cliff's smile vanished. Before he had a chance to reply, she had slipped a ring from a finger of her left hand and extended it toward him. She looked into his eyes with a stare encrusted with ice. "I can't wear this any longer," she said, "after the way you have acted lately. I have heard that all men must sow wild oats, but I assure you that my man won't. If you must gamble and carouse, you can't expect to become my husband. I have learned all about your going to a saloon or gambling den on Beecher street almost every night, and that's enough for me. Good-night." Cliff stumbled down the steps to the street and walked three blocks, heedless of the pouring rain, before he came to himself and found the ring clasped in his hand. Then he stopped dead still in the middle of a street crossing, undecided whether to leap in the river or go back and throw Herman Hartell from the roof of the six-story Lewis building. He decided to do neither; instead, he headed for Beecher street. Ethel completed her work and was escorted to her rooming place by Hartell. At the door she took his hand and said earnestly: "You don't know how I appreciate the revelation you have made to me. I know it must have been hard for you to come and tell me about seeing Clifford go into that terrible place so many times; and I am grateful." "Don't mention it, please," protested Hartell, striving unsuccessfully to reach his mustache with his tongue. "I couldn't bear to see you throw yourself away on a worthless fellow. I save a good many blocks by cutting through Beecher street on the way home and that's how I happened to notice him there." The next day Ethel failed to appear at the office, telephoning that she was suffering from a headache. The succeeding day was Sunday. The rain had ceased but the weather had turned chilly and the sun hid behind clouds. Ethel listened in vain for the doorbell or the telephone, hoping Cliff would appear as he had done each Sunday for more than a year. True, she had told him it was all over; nevertheless, she had expected him to come and make some kind of a protest and attempt an explanation. The morning passed very gloomily for her. Early in the afternoon the landlady summoned her to the telephone, and Ethel tripped over a chair in her haste to answer the call. "This is Mr. Hartell," said the voice on the wire. "Could I call on you this afternoon?" "I'm sorry," she replied, "but I'm too ill to entertain." And she went back to her room to gaze thoughtfully at a picture of a flaxen-haired, smiling youth. About five o'clock a delegation of three girls from her Sunday school class called on her. "We were anxious to learn if you were ill," said one, "and if not we wanted you to go with us to visit a poor family that the class has decided to help." Ethel took decided interest in the er- curstion when it was explained that the family lived on Beecher street. They walked past the gloomy, rickety wooden dwellings, through throngs of dirty urchins who hooted and made faces at them, and finally came to a dingy opening that proved to be the entrance to a flight of stairs. Up these steps the girls stumbled, their way lighted by only a few rays that sifted through the cracks in the filmsy outside wall. One of the party knocked at the door that confronted them at the top of the stairs. Footsteps sounded on the floor, evidently those of a child. Some one fumbled at the knob and the door was swung open to reveal a chubby, round-faced boy of about four years. A matimed, disreputable toy bear was suspended by its leg from one hand of the tot, who blinked curiously at his four visitors. The opening of the door permitted a warm, pungent odor to penetrate the hull and each of the girls involuntarily shuddered. "Who is it?" called a voice from within—a weak, plaintive voice, that of a woman. The tot, who was clothed in a nondescript suit of several materials and colors, turned and called: "Tree girls." "Come right in," answered the voice, "I am ill and cannot come to the door." The girls entered and noticed that the pungent odor increased. The room was permeated with an unhealthful warmth, caused by keeping all the windows closed and thus conserving the heat radiated from the small wood stove. The designs on the wall paper had all but become eradicated by accumulation of smoke, grease and dust. On one wall was a framed picture of a young man and woman, evidently a bridal couple. A row of picture postcards was the only other decoration. A table occupied the center of the room, and nearby were a three-legged stool and a dilapidated rocking chair. The floor was covered with a faded rug carpet. "Here I am," called the woman, from the dingest corner of the room. "Don't look around. I'm too ill to keep the place clean, and Jimmy here is too young." The girls found her lying on a narrow bed, or rather, a bunk. She was frail and emaciated, but she carried a pleasant smile of greeting. Jimmy hovered near, still clinging to the bear. Ethel, a lover of children, picked him up in her armst "My, my, what clothes!" she murmured to herself, but Jimmy overheard her. "I'm donna have new suit," he announced. "Man's donna bring it." "Who do you—" Ethel began, but at that moment Jimmy, hearing familiar sounds on the stairs, scrambled from her arms and dashed toward the door. "He hears his man," explained the woman on the bed. "Nearly every night he brings us food, and sometimes candy or something to wear. He found Jimmy on the street one night and came home with him. Jimmy told me his man was going to bring him a new suit today." The door was flung open and a young man entered, placed a bundle on the stool and gathered the little boy in his arms. "My man," breathed Jimmy, hugging the newcomer, while Ethal started forward in amazement upon recognizing him. "Cliff!" she cried. Clifford Eldridge placed his human burden on the floor and stared in astonishment that equaled her own. So it was decreed that a home of poverty should be the setting for a proud, sensitive, impulsive girl to ask forgiveness—and get it. Let Children Pick Clothes Everyone remembers when he or she was a child how irritating it was to have our parents pick all our clothes without giving us any choice in the matter. In the Woman's Home Companion a writer says: "Now, what I am asking for the boys is this: Take your sons with you when you buy their clothing. Consult their tastes somewhat. Don't let them select anything ridiculous, but give them a choice of half a dozen sensible coats or hats or whatever it may be. Don't scold them too much if they come home with the straps on their bloomer trousers unhooked so the trouser legs are almost long. No doubt the captain of the baseball team and 'all the other fellows' wear theirs that way. Or if your boy comes up the street with his cap over his right ear, while you are telling him that he looks 'just like a little street tough' remember it was the style that you, yourself followed last winter, and that 'what all the fellows do' means just as much to Johnny as Parts notes do to you." Snakes. An explanation of this hallucination is offered by the result of French experiments a few years ago. Sixteen alcoholic patients were examined with the ophthalmoscope, and it was found that the minute blood vessels in the retina of the eyes were congested. In this condition they appear black, and are projected into the field of vision, where their movements resemble the squirming of serpents.

LESSON FOR MARCH 24 JESUS MINISTERING TO THE MUL TITUDES LESSON TEXT—Mark 6:32-56. GOLDEN TEXT—The son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.-Matt. 20:28. DEVOTIONAL READING—John 6:35-40. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS: Prologus 16:14-18; Matt 25:31-46; Luke 4:62-; James 1:27; Rev. 17. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus a helper at all times. MEMORY VERSE—Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.-Mark 6:50 INTERMEDIATE TOPIC—Helping the needy. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-7 This parable marks the high level of the year of popularity in the life of our Lord. It is such an important miracle as to be the only one recorded by all four gospel writers. The returning disciples (v. 31) are urged by the Master to come with him into a desert place and rest and also that he might comfort their hearts over the death of John the Baptist. "They had no leisure." Jesus knew the need and also the proper use of leisure, but the multitude would not grant him this but flocked to his retreat in the desert. They followed that they might listen to his gracious words, or behold some new wonder, but Jesus also saw and ministered, (v. 24). Carlyle said he saw in England "forty million people mostly fools." Not so with Jesus; he saw and was moved, not with sarcasm, but with a compassion that took the form of teaching (v. 34). It is better to teach a man how to help himself than to help the man without the teaching. We also infer that the soul of a man is of more value than his body. It is not enough, however, to say "God bless you; be warmed and fed," when a man is hungry. Sympathy must issue in action. A Great Task. John tells us of the conversation with Phillip. Phillip lived in Bethsaida nearby, but to feed this multitude was too great a task, even with his knowledge and resources (John 6:5, 7). Yet we need not be surprised at Phillip's slowness of faith. Moses in a similar case was once nonplussed as to how to feed the thousands in the wilderness (see Numbers 11:21-33). The central fact concerns neither the need nor our poverty, but the absolute surrender of our all—however little—to God. Another disciple, Andrew, who had brought his brother, Simon Peter, to the Savior, in his desperation found a boy whose mother had thoughtfully provided him with a lunch consisting of five barley biscuits and two small dried herrings (John 6:9). This is a great commentary on the tide of interest at this time—that even this hungry boy should have forgotten his lunch; the circumstances emphasized the helplessness of the disciples in order that Jesus might show his power. His command "Give ye them" (v. 37) teaches us that we are to give what we have, not to look to others, nor to do our charity by proxy (Pro. 11:24, 25). Again the Savior asks his disciples to seek (v. 38) as though he would teach them the boundless resources of his kingdom. Give what you have and he will bless and increase it to meet the needs of the multitude. The secret of success points to the moment when he took the loaves and looking up (to God who also saw their needs), he blessed it. Living Bread. This conservation process was a stinging rebuke to the orientals, and is being emphasized in these days of food conservation in connection with war needs. Too long we have been prodigal of God's marvelous bounties. God gives us that we may use; and we lose it unless it is shared. Jesus, the living bread, (John 6:48) will satisfy hunger and give life. As bread generates in the human body heat, energy, vitality and power, so he will feed the hungry souls of men. We have at hand the Word. It is for lack of it that men die in the deepest and truest sense of that Word. The poverty and perplexity of the disciples in the presence of similar great need, is being repeated over and over again, and yet how faithless it is. We have not enough to feed the multitude. Our few loaves of comfort, amusement, counsel, etc., will not sustain them in the present world's crisis; but when we break unto them the living bread, it meets the deep hunger of the human heart; and they will have enough and to spare if they will only eat it. In these days when the emphasis is being laid on material bread for the sustenance of the nation, there is great danger lest we forget the necessity of breaking the living bread to the starving multitudes of the world. We must maintain the supremacy of the spiritual, or lack the dynamic to provide the material. How true the words of the late Dr. Multible Davenport Babcock: Back of the loaf is the snowy flour; Back of the flour the mill: And back of the mill is the wheat, And the showers, and the sun, And the Father's will. The problem which the disciples could not meet, Jesus discerned and solved. As they co-operated with him and gave of that which he had first blessed, each had a basketfull to take away and thus was well repaid for sharing with the multitude.

B. 365th INFANTRY, CAMP GRANT, ILL. Mr. N. C. Crews. Mr. N. C. Crews, Kansas City Sun, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Mr. Crews: I am enclosing herewith, at your request, a few notes taken from this issue of Trench and Camp as well as a leaf from the paper of the 365 Inf. The multitude of details which have crowded upon me as a new comer at Grant has prevented me from looking after this news personally. However. I can say even at this brief observation that conditions here are ideal when it comes to considering how well the Negro is treated and utterly absent any friction between white and colored found in other camps. From. Major Gen. Barry down through all officers, line and staff, we receive the highest consideration and every wish and comfort of the men is looked after with speed and patience. I feel sure you would relish a visit this way, and I know the men would be much inspired by your presence and a cheerful message. With the coming of sixty new men from Camp Sherman the number of men in Co. B. B. 3655th Infantry, was brought up to 203. The men are of the highest type, and undπ the leadership of able and experienced commanders, are fast rounding into shape to cope with the Kaiser's men. Everything is running smoothly, and the Co.'s slogan is "Team-work," and every man has the spirit...."Tattle Box" It would be interesting to know how lst Sgt. Edwards out of the muddle that was started by his last trip to Chicago. While he was in Chicago, two long distance calls were made for him, and the operator made the mistake of telling the party, he was in Chicago. Now all of us would like to know who he called on this time....If Co. Clerk Robinson doesn't get a furlough soon, it's liable to be a case of wol, and in all probability he would be found on Covington street in Youngstown, Ohio. And he has good reason for it. It is interesting to hear Corp. Savage talking about all the girls he never had. But here's hoping....From the actions of Co. Clerk Bomer, the boys have assumed an impression that he has the state of fever....There is a party who only goes to Chicago after each pay day, and always comes back broke. He's a Sergeant and his last name is R....We wonder who it is....James Griggs, formerly 1st Sergeant at Camp Sherman, has joined us. And it, is so far to Springfield, Ohio....All of the boys welcome the good weather, and hope the girls will take advantage of it to visit our Camp. There are plenty of us willing to act as guides, in Co. B., and Mess Sergeant Jennings will satisfy the call of one's inner self. A DELIGHTFUL BANQUET A DELIGHTFUL BANQUET. On last Saturday Mr. T. M.

After being served a delightful breakfast at the residences of Mr. and Mrs. Smart and Prof. and Mrs. Boone, the Kansas City Contingent left at 8:00 o'clock for St. Joseph, Mo., where they had the pleasure of attending service at Ebenezer A. M. E. church and hearing a splendid sermon from the scholarly Dr. Maloney and after having dinner at the Wichita Cafe they left for Kansas City where they arrived at 4:00 o'clock, tired and sleepy but of one opinion that they had attended the most enjoyable reception ever held. Rev. G. W. Boyd, 1618 Tracy, who has been ill for the past three weeks, is improving somewhat. The 92nd Division (Negro) National Army is in need of soldiers who can qualify as stenographers, electricians, auto-mechanics, machinists, pharmacists, hospital attendants, clerks, typists, saddlers, harness-makers, bakers, horse-shoers, etc. Through the co-operation of the Press we have secured a number of specially qualified men, but our needs as yet have not been fully supplied. Doubtless there are many Negro registrants who are qualified to meet the requirements of the Division, who will be called sooner or later, and who are willing to enter the military service ahead of their turn on the register in order to serve. Reciprocally, there are distinct advantages to such men of entering the Army when they are needed most. In so doing they fit into places for which they are best fitted and which they prefer to fill. I will appreciate very much any publicity you can give this appeal. All correspondence should be addressed to Lieut. T. T. Thompson, Assistant Personnel Officer, 92nd Division, Camp Funston, Kansas.
