Bell Phone East 999 and 2789 VOLUME X. NUMBER 32. ROSCOE C. JAMISON We were paired to receive from Mr. William F. Neill of St. Joseph the announcement of the untimely death of the race's most famous young poet, Roscoe C. Jamison, who passed away at Phoenix, Ariz., March 28, whose body was brought to his home at St. Joseph, Mo., for burial Wednesday, April 3rd. Many hearts have been made to thrill from the inspired writings of this exceptional young man, and the race has suffered a distinct loss in his passing. He was an exemplary young Christian gentilman and won the respect and sympathy of all who knew him. Peace to his ashes, rest to his soul. A LITTLE LETTER By Chas. A. Starks. Dear People: By the time this letter is published the public will have learned all the incidents, happy and otherwise, that signalized the campaign for a Negro Alderman. The writer is sure most readers of The Sun would have hailed eagerly an answer from his pen to a certain person, who loomed up on the aldermanic horizon as one of those Black mysterious silhouette figures which stand so boldly against a background of light. Be it said, the writer was not with the dead. Not even with the helpless or those who can not strike back. Like the good sportsman, he disdains to shoot a rabbit "setting." He rather kicks him out of his nest and tries his marksmanship at the "Cotton tail" on the run: The Negro people demonstrated one thing quite positively and that was that they resented the pernicious efforts of that gentleman by voting him down to a contemptible, no name position in the race, thus, for his crime, placing the mark of Cain upon his forehead. All Glory for this! And your humble servant assumes a share of this honor on the ground that he gave the gentleman a considerable amount of advertising through the press and his cutting posture and bulletin system. Though the Colored people did not reach their "objective," the fight is not ended. Ours is a contest of 365 days in a year and nothing will stop us. A people shows its temper or greatness by overcoming all impediments to its progress upward. We, therefore, seek solace from whatever melancholic developments our recent effort showed by taking up our duty with a new energy and undiluted hope. Looking back briefly I fail to see where the Negroes are to be censured to any extent except the bad element. The White man, first and last, stands our most dangerous opponent to anything like progress for our people. Hence, at his door we properly place the cause of our non-success at the polls. The White man boasted of his intention to steal, browbeat and intimidate the Negro vote—and he did! So, barring the "Negro Democrats," "Home Rulers" (did you notice it in the Star?) and those miserable "Mercenaries," slaves of Hell, we rather hasten to congratulate the Good people if our Race on their intelligent campaign and vote. You have shown your approach to a single purpose and though we did not succeed completely we showed commendable signs of Unity which gives us splendid hope of the future. The Kansas City Sun MURDER AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Jefferson City, Mo., March 29.—Prof. Romeo West, secretary of the faculty of Lincoln Institute, the State Negro Normal School, was shot and killed tonight in a dormitory at the institute by Theodore Martin, superintendent of the school boarding house. Martin surrendered to the police thirty minutes after the killing, claiming that he killed West in self defense. The men quarreled over some dishes desired by West for use at a social. West became angry at the refusal and left saying that he would return in a few moments, which he did, and Martin claimed that he started after him in a threatening attitude and he shot him in self defense. It is alleged five shots were fired, three of which took effect, causing almost instant death. Prof. West was 31 years of age and had been connected with Lincoln Institute in some capacity for a number of years. He was reputed to have a violent temper and had been in quarrels frequently with various individuals. Martin was released on $3,000 bond, which was readily furnished, prominent white and colored men both of Jefferson City and Columbia (his home town) certifying their willingness to go on his bond. In view of former happenings it is predicted that Martin will be acquitted when his case comes to trial. WESTERN UNIVERSITY PRESIDENCY In Dr. William H. Peck, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church., St. Louis, Mo., former pastor of Allen Chapel, this city, are epitomized all of those essential qualities to make a successful president of this prosperous and constantly growing institution. Without disparaging the qualifications of any aspirant for this position, we have DR. WM. H. PECK. epitomized all of those essential qualities to make a successful president of this prosperous and constantly growing institution. Without disparaging the qualifications of any aspirant for this position, we have no hesitancy in saying that not one fills to such a marked degree the exacting requirements of this position as does Dr. Peck. Highly educated, an eloquent orator, an extraordinary gospel minister, a born reader of men, he possesses every quality that the Church, State and race desire to see in a man elected to the presidency of this institution. Dr. Peck has traveled extensively, is as well known in Washington, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Son Francisco as he is in Kansas City or St. Louis. He is thoroughly acquainted with the needs of Western University, where he was instructor as well as dean some years ago. Gentle in manner, dignified in bearing, genial in disposition, he is in every way fitted for this position. And The Sun without hesitancy recommends to the Board of Trustees Dr. William H. Peck as the next president of this splendid institution which we all love. GRAND EASTER OPENING. The Easter Opening at Dr. Theodore Smith's popular Drug Store last Sunday surpassed any of the efforts of former years, there being a larger attendance and a greater volume of business than ever before in the history of this famous and prosperous emporium. The beautiful silver service and the crystal glass topped tables evoked much favorable comment, while no small feature of the afternoon was the excellent music of Williams' string orchestra, which Dr. Smith announces will play every Thursday and Sunday during the season, beginning at 6 p. m. Yourself and friends are invited to drop in any time and be served. Or get the latest periodicals and magazines. 18th and Tracy avenue. A VETERAN SANTA FE PORTER GONE. Matt J.

Chaplain Collins was born in Kansas City May, 1884, is 34 years of age, was educated in the grades and High School of this city, did College work at Fisk University, and took Bachelor-Divinity degree at Wilberforce University in 1911. After entering the ministry of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was assigned to North Yakima, Wash., where he served five years (the limit) and then transferred to Hutchinson, Kansas, where he was pastoring when called to the Army. Chaplain Collins has always been active in community and uplift work for his race, appearing twice before the Legislature of Washington to successfully keep BLACK LAWS from the Statute Books of that State and has upon invitation filled the pulpit in several of the leading white churches of that state. He was married in 1916 to Miss Amelia Davis, one of our former teachers who graduated with him in Lincoln High School in 1902. Dr. William H. Peck, the distinguished pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, St. Louis, Mo., and former pastor of Allen Chapel, was called to the ecity last week to attend the funeral of his brother-in-law, Dr. E. J. McCampbell. Dr. Peck is doing a wonderful work in his new field, having added more than seven hundred members during his two and a half years pastorate and has mared St. James one of the foremost churches of the connection. He was accompanied by his devoted wife, who fills a large place in the hearts of all Kansas Citians and who has contributed much to the success of the Doctor in his various fields of endeavor. ELECTION RESULTS. Democrats Sweep the Entire City by Overwhelming Majority. The city election held last Tuesday was apparently a walk-away for the Democrats, that party electing every office save five Aldermen of the Lower House. The interest of the Colored people was centered in the candidacy of Hon. W. C. Hueston of the Eighth Ward but by methods peculiar to Democratic politicians by intimidation and chicanery he was beaten by the small margin of 86 votes. Judge L. A. Knox, the Independent candidate for the office, ran a rather disappointing race to his friends receiving only 22 votes in the entire Ward. The Colored people are not discouraged but with the large number of honors and flats, being received by NEW LOCATION: W. C. Hueston—C. H. Calloway We desire to announce to our clients, friends and the public in general our removal to our new offices located at North- west Corner 12th and Highland Avenue, where we will be pleased to see you.

Knox, the Independent candidate for the office, ran a rather disappointing race to his friends receiving only 22 votes in the entire Ward. The Colored people are not discouraged but with the large number of houses and flats being vacated by whites in the Ward each week and being almost immediately filled by Colored people, there is no doubt but what the Negroes can nominate an independent candidate if the two old parties are not inclined to tote fair and elect him by an overwhelming majority because we predict before the expiration of the next two years there will be less than 500 white voters residing in the Eighth Ward No we are not discouraged. We still feel that Mr. Hueston ran a magnificent race. As for the rest of the Republican ticket the majority of the Republicans evidently feel that it met the fate it deserved. REPUBLICAN DEFEAT. American Party never did, does not previous arrogant and domineering and file never could be made between the Democratic bosses and the Republican Party, and, therefore, campaign. It and open insult to the Colored and Eugene H. Blake cost them 2,000 kind of men are not in the lead time! open again this fall! Mrs. Mary Fuell Rollins, who about one year ago fell victim to the dreadful plague, tuberculosis, departed this life Wednesday morning, March 27, 1918. The funeral services were conducted Easter Sunday from the chapel of H. B. Moore, undertaker. The deceased was a sister of Melissa Fuell Cuther, former clerk and vocalist with the Blind Boone Concert Company. She leaves to mourn her loss this sister, another sister and brother, a mother, three children, Edith the Katherine and Richard Rollins. Interment was in Woodlawn Cemetery Kansas City, Kansas. MAY NOT GET PROF. LEE. Lincoln Institute May Miss the Services of the Great Educator. Prof. J. R. E. Lee has not decided whether or not he will accept the offer of the presidency of Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City. The well known conditions of strife which have characterized the work at the institution during the last ten years have taken such apparently permanent form as to make the prospect for anything like agreeable leadership there decidedly discouraging, especially to a man who likes to work better than he likes to fight and squabble. Notwithstanding the fact that Prof. Lee has been assured in a semi-official way that he will have the undivided support of the Board of Regents, in case he accepts, that fact is not at all certain and it is reported that a well formed plan is on foot already to make it unpleasant for the man who takes the place of the deposed president and that at least two members of the Board of Regents are in on the plan. Prof. Lee was not an applicant for the position but it is very likely that he would not hesitate to accept it if he could take charge and carry out the work untrammeled by political fuddittings and factional influences. He is a hard worker but he likes to sleep when he goes to bed. Soon after being appointed Prof. Lee was invited down to Jefferson City for a conference with members of the Board of Regents, the State Subperintendent extending the' invitation. The invitation was complied with on the day set down but when the president elect reached the capitol he found that State Superintendent Lamkin had gone away from the city and that the only members of the Board whom he could meet were the two who had voted against his appointment. One of these telephoned out to Lincoln Institute requesting President Allen to receive Mr. Lee and show him over the grounds and building. In due time Lee reached the institution but no amount of knocking could bring Mr. Allen to the door of the president's mansion. Romeo West, then secretary to the president, but since then shot dead in one of the local feuds, accidentally looked too far around the corner of the house and was seen by Prof. Lee who politely asked him to escort him over the grounds. West declared that he was not in possession of the keys but made a perfunctory effort to show the visitor a part of the institution. Things were not at all pleasant for Mr. Lee and he doubtless felt like a stranger in a very strange land. Upon his return he was naturally very much discouraged over the outlook and his friends have since been urging him not to leave his successful work at Kansas iCty to take up the less-promising though larger field at Lincoln Institute. The Board of Regents will make a great mistake if it loses the chance to secure Mr. Lee, provided it is really desired to make Lincoln Institute a live, progressive, useful school. Mr. Lee will make a great mistake if he accepts the position in the face of such dangers as naturally lie in a divided Board of Regents and a lot of political deceit and chicamery. One of the most pleasing musicales was the event of Mrs. L. J. Bacote presenting her pupil, Miss Lessie King, in a testimonial recital at the Second Baptist church, March 15, 1918. Miss King has a rare mezzosoprano voice, which she demonstrated in its fullest beauty. Her program, a very ambitious one, was rendered in a technical and pleasing manner. As for her stage deportment, style, enunciation, articulation, phrasing and interpretation, these things indicated method and steady application. She sang to a most appreciative audience of about five hundred. Her future indeed is very bright. She was ably assisted by Miss Faye Reed, violinist, and Mrs. Ida M. Becks, dramatic reader.

Mrs. Mary Ellen Beard Clare was born in Lincoln county, August 12, 1850, and passed away March 30, 1918, at 3:00 o'clock a. m, hence was 67 years, 7 months and 18 days old She was the daughter of Frank and Theodosia Beard who preceded her to the grave several years ago She was married to James Clare to which union was born six children, four girls and two boys, viz.: Mrs. Charles Parsons, Benjamin Franklin, Horatio, Mrs. Chas, Turley, Mrs. A. B. Wyatt of Bell Flower, Mo., and Addie Lee who preceded her to the grave in early childhood. She united with the Fairview Christian church about 40 years ago from which the funeral was held Sunday, March 31, conducted by Rev. Poindexter of Bowling Green, Mo. The burial was in the Christian church cemetery in Lincoln county. She lived a consistent Christian life and her attitude toward the world was Christlike. She has been a seminival for about a year. She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. B. Wyatt at Belle Flower, Mo. All medical aid and loving hands could be rendered but the Lord called her from suffering to rest. She leaves to mourn her loss a devoted and aged husband, five children, five grandchildren, two great grandchildren, a brother, Frank Beard, of Kansas City, Mo., and other relatives and friends. On Sunday morning she called her daughter to the bedside and said she was almost ready to pass away, was not afraid to die and to tell the rest of the children goodbye. Her last words were: "I am waiting, Saviour, on Thee." And when the shades of evening fall When life's last hour draws nigh, If Jesus shines upon the soul, How beautiful then to die! Since He has risen that once was slain Ye die in Christ to live again.

The funeral of Dr. Ernest James McCampbell, whose death shocked all Kansas City, was held last Saturday at 2 p.m. from Allen Chapel, of which he was a member, and was one of the most impressive yet simple funerals held in that historic edifice. Forty of the colored physicians, dentists and pharmacists of the city were in attendance and acted as an escort, pallbearers and ushers. In spite of the fact that no cars were running in the city a crowd that filled the auditorium was present to pay their tribute and respect to the memory of this most excellent young man. Such a profusion of flowers and floral of ferings have never been seen at a funeral in this city before, there being more than thirty designs and innumerable sprays, potted plants and other floral offerings which entirely covered the casket, pulpit chancil and all around the altar. The public was permitted to view the remains which laid in state at the church under a guard of his brother physicians from 12 until 2 o'clock, at which time the funeral cortege arrived and the casket was closed.

RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF ERNEST JAMES Mc-CAMPBELL, M. D. At a special meeting of the Kansas City Medical Society Thursday noon, March 28, at the Paseo Y. M. C. A., the following Preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It has seemed good to the Ruler of the Universe to remove from our midst our talented and beloved friend and professional confrere, Dr. Ernest James McCampbell. Therefore in view of the loss we have sustained and the still heavier loss occasioned to his respective relatives and friends. Be it Resolved, That the members of this Society hereby desire to express their sense of bereavement and grief at the loss of one of their youngest, most faithful and most gifted members and to record the enjoyment and profit which they have long had in the genial, social and ethical qualities of the deceased. Resolved. That we sincerely sympathize with the relatives and near friends of our esteemed associate and that we respectfully commend them for consolation to the divine power which the sometimes inscrutable in its dispensations, yet "doeth all things well," feeling sure that to them as to us there is comfort in the knowledge that the deceased was not only honrable and manly in all respects but was also a devoted and conscientious practitioner. Resolved. That the Secretary of this Resolved, That the Secretary of this Association is instructed to send a copy of these resolutions to the family of the deceased as a testimony of our grief and sympathy; a copy to the Kansas City Sun (a weekly paper), and that a copy be preserved in the archives of this Medical Association as a permanent record. L. E. BAILER, M. D. L. M. TILLMAN, M. D. The Kansas City Medical Society BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS— NUMBER SEVEN By Albon L. Holsey. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.—The war is bringing the people of this country into a closer bond of sympathy and understanding and it is my sincere belief that when conditions are readjusted ours will be a better and stronger country. Members of the race throughout the country are cooperating with the white people in local Red Cross, Food, Liberty Bond, Fuel and Thrift Stamp Campaigns and through these new relationships there will come increasing opportunities for demonstrating the race's value as a civic an economic asset. I have been especially proud of the recognition which has come to our newspapers. The various publicity bureaus at Washington are sending out their material to our papers just as to papers published by other people, and it is interesting to note that some of the leading advertising men of the nation are identified with these bureaus at Washington. After the war it is more than likely that these men will not forget the valued co-operation that the Negro newspapers are CHOOL ALL Girls Exhibition of 1918" R PRICES T WEEK giving now, and will give careful attention to their merits in making up lists of papers for national advertisers. It will be a long step forward when national advertisers begin to ask, "How much will it cost to reach the colored people through their leading papers?" The "signs of the times" are significant. I notice that the leading Press Clipping Bureaus are clipping editions from Negro papers in an increasing degree. "What the Negro thinks" is becoming more and more important to the men who control the political and commercial destiny of this nation. NOTES FROM THE 350TH MACHINE GUN BATTALION, CAMP GRANT, ILLINOIS. The Passing of General Barry. When the 2,500 or more officers met Tuesday evening to say goodby to him who had so guided the interests of the Camp from its very beginning, more eyes than one was filled with tears. Of course, press announcements had prepared us for the worse, but in spite of ourselves we could not help but be surprised when the great general told us he would be leaving forthwith. A Remarkable Man. General Barry was in every sense a remarkable man. As rigid as an ancient taskmaster, as positive as truth, and yet as sympathetic as a child, General Barry had a way of dominating large situations without domineering. Perhaps, by more than any other group will the general be missed by the Colored officers and men. To him more than to any other is due that wholesome "Camp Grant Atmosphere" about which we wrote last week. May he live long to see his precepts carried into practice "over there" and still longer to enjoy the soldiers' appreciation of a man whose life has been a benediction to many and whose example no one could err who emulated. The contributor of these notes is gratified to learn that so many readers are interested in what our boys are doing at Grant. Week before last our typewriter was ill, hence no news. Several readers reminded us that our notes did not appear. With the opening of Spring, Chicago visitors are blessing us with their frequent visits. Lieut Daniel T. Taylor, the Battalion police officer, is working overtime to make our portion of the area presentable. New walks have been made, flowers planted and other decorations and conveniences placed. Brigade Athletic Day next Wednesday. The Machine Gun Battalion expects to carry off honors as usual. Company A's Social Work. Captain Lewis W. Wallace has thought out an admirable scheme to help the men in his company feel as much at home as the surroundings will permit. Every Saturday night the men enjoy a helpful program, followed by a light repast and smoker. A committee is organized to co-operate with the Red Cross and other social agencies for the purpose of helping the men adjust certain difficulties at their homes that could not be adjusted otherwise. Already fruitful results are being seen. A. Brilliant Production "The Kaiser in Bad" is the subject of a new song written by Private Oliver D. Hillman of the Medical Detachment and dedicated to the 350th Machine Gun Battalion. Maor Lee, Lieut. Dunn and Adjutant Pitts by special request of the composer were favored with hearing a rendition of this tuneful air on Thursday evening. The song is now in the hands of the publishers and ere long will be in the hands of hundreds of others who appreciate good music. Private Bedford Crabtree has the distinction of being the first to sing Hillman's song. The Intelligence Personnel Class. Thirty-three of the Battalion's best noncommissioned officers and privates have been organized into a special class for the study of Military Intelligence. Lieutenant Henry E. Dunn who is taking the course at division headquarters has been detailed as instructor. The Battalion has been going to the target range regularly this week. There will be a prize offered to the company making the best showing in a Machine Gun contest soon to be pulled off. Corporal William R. Watson, Company B, has some real sensible things to say at times. How is this? "The army life has been so far an eyeopener for many men, and no doubt when the war is over, the men will go back to their homes with new deterffinations, enabling them to solve the problems which will confront each with more ease and satisfaction." Personals. Sergeant James Brown, Company C, has been appointed Provost Sergeant and will assume his duties with Police Officer Taylor at once. Promotions in Company C: Corporal Robert M. Penniston to Sergeant, Private Paul Jackson to Private, 1st Class. The usual number spent the week-end in Chicago. Sports. The Battalion Ball Team and a company of the 161st Depot Brigade (white) played an exciting game Saturday afternoon, the game ending 8 to 3 in our favor. The game was featured by hard hitting. Sergeant Louis Johnson better known as "Dicta" Johnson connected for two home runs. Sergeant Bluitt also found the pitcher for a home run. Sergeant Henry H. JQohnson pitched a wonderful game. If his arm continues to improve, he will be a puzzle for the players in some of our later games. Sergeant Major Halfacre robbed Sullivan of the Depot Brigade of two possible runs in right field. Sullivan previously played with the City League of Chicago. Batteries for the Battalion were: Sergeant Henry H. Johnson and Private Normal Maul. Batteries for Depot Brigade: Private Guit and Private Shamrock. Company A won her fifth successive game Sunday afternoon by defeating the Machine Gun Company of the 365th Infantry. The game was won by piling up three scores in the ninth inning. Score 11 to 9. Private Peter McGee pitched the first five innings, Sergeant "Dicta" Johnson finished the game. NELSON-PECK NUPTIALS.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Steady, boys! Judge Knox "also ran." Hueston made a gallant fight. Don't be discouraged, Black Men; the Eighth will redeem herself in 1920. Is it true that the white Republicans of the Eighth banded with the Democrats to beat Hueston? If so, then we will "meet them at Phillippi." We know of at least one great Negro orator who ought to be told that vanity and conceit are not virtues. Hueston was not beaten. He was simply cheated out of his honors by the trickery of the political machine in charge of the election. Without any show of egotism The Sun can see as far into a political situation as anybody else in this community, and it knew the crash was coming! If Judge Miles Bulger wants to be presiding judge of the county court again, as the Star intimates—Why Judge Bulger WILL BE PRESIDING JUDGE AGAIN, in spite of the twinkling Star—that's all. Although the election judges and clerks are by law supposed to be bipartisan they are not by any means nonpartisan. Hence votes can be switched or thrown out just as the prejudice of the poor white man finds it necessary to beat the Negro. The police were powerless in quelling the mobs which for over a week destroyed both life and property with out reserve, but the guardians of the peace used their clubs freely upon poor, unarmed Negroes who only claimed the right to cast their votes on election day. A nation that is weak at home cannot be very strong abroad. If the education of the American people inculcates the mob spirit in every phase of life, thus disregarding right and justice at every turn, then how can we as a nation be greatly respected or feared by any other nation? The Sun acknowledges the receipt of a neatly bound little volume printed in patriotic colors entitled "A Tribute for Negro Soldiers," by John E. Bruce, author of "Blood Red Record," "No Heaven for Negro," Biographies of Eminent Men and Women," etc., etc., and published by the Franklin Press, Kansas City, Mo. They are only 25 cents a volume and every Negro should have one in their homes NOTICE. Next week we shall have an article from the pen of Prof. A. B. Pittman teacher of "Economics and Home Gardening" in Lincoln High School on "How to Grow a Garden," which we earnestly request all our readers to give special attention. Prof. Pittman had wonderful success with his garden last year and he is going to show you how you can have the same degree of success. Democracy is fortunate in in having such astute and intelligent leaders among its Negro adherents as Dr. Howard M. Smith, Dr. William J. Thompkins, Dr. E. B. Ramsey and Mr. A. V. Monholland, all of whom are men of standing in this community and who did much to roll up the tremendous Negro vote in this city for the Democratic candidates. Whether we like it or not, it is becoming more and more evident that Negroes are going to be guided by issues and not prejudices and we may expect to have Negro Democrats in larger numbers unless the Republican Party does its duty without fear or apology by the Negro voters. The Sun was delighted to hear of the appointment of Rev. Henry Mansfield Collins, who was born and reared in this city, and pastor of A. M. E. church at Hutchinson, Kas., in the National Army and assigned to the 309th Battalion, stationed at Newport News, Va., where he reported April 6. Rev. Collins spent several days in this city and visited at Allen Chapel Easter Sunday morning and preached for Rev. Bacote Sunday night. His charming wife is also a Kansas City girl, formerly Amelia Davis, who was a teacher in our schools.

I suffered with pains in my feet, legs, back, stomach and after examination I found the pain in my back to be Lumbago. Learning that Mackey's Liminiment was a curse for the same, I ordered a bottle at once and after applying the same as directed I was restored to my normal feelings. This was the fourth bottle used in our house the first time for Lumbago. I will highly recommend it to anyone disabled with the above named symptoms and for all kinds of pains. MRS.

LYRIC HALL CALES FROM BIG CITIES Why Mr. Pokey Jones Is Not Sporting a New Suit KANSAS CITY.—Meet Pokey Jones, forty, tall and overweight, an ordinary business man and common enough, perhaps, except he has some strange ideas. He prefers winter when it is summer and he likes summer when it is winter. He has a folly laugh and In good sidewalks. He enjoys motion pictures and he pays 17 cents for himself, 17 cents for his wife and 11 cents for Pokey, Jr., when he takes the family to see them. Mr. Jones dropped into his favorite clothing store the other day to get a new spring suit. He looked at several that did not please him, but presently found one that did. The price and the color and the style and quality were to his liking. The salesman told him the price was $30. Mrs. Jones was with Pokey. She wasn't so well pleased. There was some delay, and while the Joneses were conversing, the salesman, in closely examining the suit, found it was not a $30 value, but a $60 one. He told Mr. and Mrs. Jones about it, and Mrs. Jones was glad because she knew she could fuss so much Pokey would not pay that much. Mr. Jones still was pleased with the suit and would have bought it, even though it was much higher priced than he had counted on paying. Mrs. Jones wouldn't allow it, so he gave up the idea. The salesman brought forward many other $30 suits, but they all looked cheap after seeing the $60 one so that Pokey gave up. He told the salesman he had spoiled his taste for a suit and he guessed he would just let it go until next year. Finder of Rare Bug Has Vision of Great Riches SAN FRANCISCO—John W. Kehoe, who is making a fight in Superior Judge Edmund P. Morgan's court for half of the $1,500 his wife, Esther Kehoe, has earned since their marriage in 1913, testified that he expects to be a rich cisco store, where she earns $200 a month. He said he did the cooking, the mending and the washing, except that he did not launder the linen after he had tried to and failed. His wife sent the linen to the laundry after that. During the four years following his marriage, he said, he had worked 15 hours a day on his inventions, among which is one to "predetermine how many feet of film will be necessary to make a moving picture of any given subject." He has invented other moving-picture appliances, but told Judge Morgan that none of the producers would listen to him. Kehoe testified that he had worked for a while as a magazine solicitor, but was so "temperamentally unfitted" for this work that he sold only four magazines. He also worked in a butcher shop at one time, and all he earned he contributed to the household expenses, holding out only enough for luncheon and cigars. Mrs. Kehoe wants a divorce on the ground of failure to provide. Probably Belongs to Academic 'Academic Anarchists' NEW YORK.—Two men were talking about the war. To get it exactly straight, one man did the talking while the other played audience—in a car. "I tell you, old man, the anarchist is right. This war had to be; to kill future ahead? I wouldn't give a hill of beans for all the old masters and cathedrals you could make me a present of, except for the money they would bring. I'm a plain man with no frills, and I—sorry to have to get out here, but come around to my new place—here's my address—phone me any evening and I'll get in a couple of fellows for cards——" The man who had played audience chuckled over the card, and when, a bit later, he pressed a button, it was plain by the absentmindedness with which he let the thing fall that he had no intention of accepting the invitation. There are always prying people, who want to know more than the law allows—which means an apology for the woman in the seat behind for swiping the card—just for the fun of finding out by what name an anarchist defender, who despised the ancient landmarks of time, scorned ancestry and boasted his lack of frills, might "go by." And to show also that a prying person may be generous in the sharing of knowledge, here is the card, except for its first name: Proper Spirit Evinced by Youthful Patriots MINNEAPOLIS.—They have an Insurgent school orchestra at the Margaret Fuller school. It is a democratic orchestra, on the plan of the old town meetings. There is a president and a secretary—they do not need a treasurer them, and in their little self-governing club they have developed something of the spirit of Faneuill hall. They were given a new march the other day, to play in the hall at dismissal and assembly time, for the lines to march by. In the very middle of the first flourish somebody caught sight of its title. It was "Vienna Forever." "We won't play that," announced small Robert Souders, spokesman for the group. Patriotic sensibilities are being carefully fostered in the schools these days, but there was the plan of the music supervisor to be considered. She had assigned the march. "Wait till Miss Anderson comes," the principal advised. "We won't play 'Vienna Forever.' It's 'The Stars and Stripes Forever' that we want to play," the orchestra clamored when Miss Ruth Anderson, the director appeared. But, alas for the Americanism of the "insurgent 18," Sousa's marches have never been simplified for nine-year-old lads. So what they are marching by now at the Margaret Fuller school is "The Flag of Truce." winter. He has a jolly laugh and pleasant smile. He is bald headed, wears glasses, reads ancient history and the daily news. He goes to church to keep from wiping the Sunday dishes. His heroes are Napoleon, George Washington and Francis X. Bushman. Mr. Jones' family consists of his wife and a son, Pokey, Jr., who resembles his father at eight years of age. Father Jones has no motorcar, and for that reason he is not interested in good roads. He says he is more interested In good sidewalks, He enjoys motion on self, 17 cents for his wife and 11 cents family to see them. Mr. Jones dropped into his favorite new spring suit.

SATURDAY. APRIL 6. 1918 ETERNAL CITY UNDER SNOW The Roman Forum Clad in Snow. Imperial Rome clothed in ermine was the vision the vanishing year of 1917 gave to a surprised populace. The Eternal city mantled in snow was the unusual and almost unheard of spectacle which greeted the Romans on the morning after Christmas, writes Alice Rohe in the Kansas City Star. Those who woke to find the city chastened with its white vestments, lying peaceful and mysterious, felt the spell of the unusual and wondered if it could be a sign of peace. Whatever private emotions surged through an astonished people, the ancient chroniclers announced that for the first time in thirty years a heavy snow storm had descended upon Rome. There are those who record more recent snow, but not of a similar heavy fall. And snowstorms in Rome, generally occur in January or February. This time for three days snow fell upon the sleeping city and then disappeared with the sun's rays at noon. Not only the people regarded the phenomenon with wonderment, but the tram lines and telephone wires were so overcome by the strain that they refused to operate. City's Routine Upset. The public conveyances were stunned into helplessness. Roman cab horses know nothing of snow and Roman cabmen are likewise afflicted. Consequently the intrepid pedestrians found themselves wading through deep slush by noon in a cabless town. The Piazza Colonna was, with the thawing, like a lake of sherbet across which a few venturesome scouts—generally foreigners—were wading. In the forenoon a group of American boys from the aviation camp at Foggia—up for a holiday—hired a car to take a trip out the Appian Way—but the chauffeur, despite the protests and stronger arguments of the aviators, that a little dampness wouldn't hurt a machine, had to renounce the trip at the Catacombs. To such an extent had the unheard of snowfall Value of Sense of Smell Proved in Discovery of the Substance Selenium Have you an ambition to found a new science? Why not measure a smell? Can you tell whether one smell is just twice as strong as another? Can you measure the difference between one kind of smell and another? It is obvious that we have very many different kinds of smells, from the odor of violets down to asafetida, but until you can measure their likenesses and differences you can have no science of odor, writes Alexander Graham Bell in Youth's Companion. In the first place we have to define an odor. Is it an emanation of material particles into the air or is it a form of vibration, like sound? If you can decide that question, you will have the starting point for an entirely new investigation. If odor is an emanation, it could be reflected from a mirror. Light and sound and heat can be reflected. I have even warmed my hands at the reflection of a fire in a mirror of polished metal. That a cultivation of the sense of smell may be very valuable was proved in the discovery of the substance selenium. In experimenting with the waste products obtained in manufacturing sulphuric acid, a distinguished chemist noticed the characteristic smell of tellurium—an odor that has no counterpart on earth or in heaven. But the smell was the only indication of the presence of the substance; all the chemical reactions declared that there was no tellurium present in the powder. The chemist therefore concluded that, if no tellurium was present, there must be a new substance there, as yet undiscovered, which resembled tellurium. When he had extracted from the mass all the materials that he knew were present, he found a residue, which proved to be, as he had disturbed the ordinary routine of Roman life. Scene of Rare Beauty. The beauty of the snow-covered city is a thing Romans will not forget. The panorama, from the Pincian Hill, itself carpeted with a 5-inch covering of white, its palm trees picturesque and curious sentinels in the winter setting, was incomparable. Saint Peter's dome, ermined, with the ball, a white world symbol, as ever dominated the picture. Nearer, the Pantheon, now white, shone in its new garment. Far away over white powdered roofs and terraces through twisted, irregular streets, rose the whitened Janiculum, the watchful figure of Garibaldi, mantled in snow. From the ghostlike whiteness of the Palatine, an undisturbed shroud lay upon the campagna, in early morning, through which a specter-like Appian Way stretched toward the truly named Alban Hills. In the heart of ancient Rome, the miracle of the snow brought umbrellas and oversheets out of American and English closets to go forth on wondering admirers thrilled by the startling transformation of Rome's antiquities. Forum Clad In Snow. All the year round vines and plants grow in the Forum, while lizards sun themselves on the fallen columns. The Forum, snow covered, and covered for three days until noon, was a sight of which the young generation will boast of seeing "back in 1917, the third year of the war." Up on the Capitoline Hill, the noble equestrian statue of Marcus Aurellus, rising from the center of the historic square, wore a new mantle of snow, while his horse was white with fresh and unforeseen trappings. But like the vines of Villon—the Eternal city's ermine disappeared beneath sun and squads of street cleaners, among whom the now common sight of women "white wings" told of a wartime world. suspected, a new elementary substance. This new substance, which was named selenium, resembled black sealing wax in appearance. In its vitreous form it was a nonconductor of electricity, but when heated almost to the fusing point and allowed to cool very slowly it completely changed its appearance. It acquired a dull, metallic look, like lead; and in that, its crystalline condition, it was a conductor of electricity, but of extremely high resistance. A little pencil of crystalline selenium, not much more than an inch long, offered as much resistance to the passage of the electrical current as 96,000,000 miles of wire, enough to reach from here to the sun. Yet it was a conductor. Immense Concrete Bridge Plans are now practically completed for the construction in Stockholm of what is claimed will be the largest concrete bridge in the world. The new structure, which will join Ropsten and Herserud, will be called the Lidingo bridge, after the island where Herserud is located, and will be 845 meters (2,772 feet) in length, with 52 arches supported by massive concrete columns 56 meters (183 feet) in length. The columns will be hollow, with an intersection of about 85 centimeters (34 inches). A few of the columns will be provided with concrete "rings," three meters (9.84 feet) in height, each "ring" having an expansion of about one meter (39 inches). Football in the Holy Land. There is a desert football league now, and its "season" is in full swing. There is also a Sinai team—a regret to say at the bottom of the list. In towns with quite famous Biblical names you can hear now shouts of "Well played!" and "Off side!" I wonder what the Jebusites and the Perezzites, the Hlvites and the Hittites, and Amorites would think of it all, if they could hear it.—From the London Daily News. AS IN SHAKESPEARE'S TIME Old Tudor Architecture of Town of Stratford-on-Avon Has Been Wonderfully Restored. Americans, who in prewar days, delighted in visiting "Shakespeare's country," would find many changes there now. Quietly and unostentatiously through the unwearying efforts of Marie Corelli, the novelist, and a few who support her artistic tastes, these last three and a half years have disclosed the ancient mysteries of Stratford. Old houses, with plastered walls, which were eyesores to the visitors and residents alike, have been stripped of their outward ugliness, to reveal the quaint picturesque Tudor architecture of Shakespeare's time. Wherever it has been possible the early appearance of the buildings has been restored, and the effect has been a transformation and the restoration of the place as Shakespeare knew it. The ancient "Sword of State" which hangs in Shakespeare's birthplace was removed from its scabbard in August, 1914, as an official notice that England was at war and the people say tradition forbids them to sheathe the old sword, carried by Shakespeare's father when he was high bailiff in 1568-9, until England is again at peace. Once at least, since war was declared, Shakespeare's old home has given expression to its feeling of gratitude to Americans for the tributes they have been privileged to pay to it from time to time. That was when the United States entered the war. President Wilson's memorable message to the congress was proclaimed aloud. Many of the townfolk had almost despaired of the momentous event, and it appears there were only two American flags in Stratford at the time. One was a great banner owned by Miss Marie Corell and the other waving from the house of John Harvard's mother. Both were promptly hurled out into the breeze of the "garden spot of England," and thus America had again come into the hearts of Shakespeare's people. War as a Leveler. With parents, limousines, chauffeurs, a new recruit arrived at the training camp, was registered, and assigned quarters. The chauffeur caught up the luggage. The officer held up a restraining hand. "Mr. So-and-So is now in the United States service; he will attend to his own luggage and find his own quarters." And thus, with no more aid or ceremony than a bricklayer would have received, the son of a man who could have bought the camp and all its appurtenances entered the American army. Not wealth, but what a man proves himself to be, places him as a soldier. Men start on the same level, save when they have had special training. The work of the war in breaking down class distinctions and occasioning the mingling of classes on more democratic terms has often been noted abroad. The English assistant has learned that Tommy Atkins possesses those virtues of honor, loyalty, courage, chivalry supposed to be instinctive through heredity in those of long and well bred descent. The great wind of the revolution blew a good deal of flunkeyism out of France; the war is removing its vestiges.—Detroit Free Press. Sugar Beet Pulp for Cattle The desert cattle ranchers of Arizona and New Mexico have learned that to raise cattle is one business and to fatten them is another. For this reason they ship their cattle to California, where sugar beet pulp is obtained in abundance. One factory is located near the fields where the beets are grown. The cattle are turned into this field after the beets are harvested. Under the fence is placed a trough which projects outside of the fence just enough to allow the beet pulp to be thrown into it from the cars. The cars run on tracks from the factory to the field and follow the fences around the corral. More space is thus obtained for the beef cattle to feed, and there is but little waste of fodder. In these war days the cattlemen are learning to conserve stock food, as the cattle themselves are conserved for our use.-Popular Science Monthly. War and the Churches. One hears much nowadays about the growing reunion of the churches which the war has brought about. But a dual service which recently took place is probably unique. Not far behind the lines two services were held simultaneously in the village church—the one being the usual Roman Catholic service attended by the inhabitants—while the other was a Protestant one for a battalion of Australians "resting" in the vicinity. The proceedings opened by the singing of a hymn by the Australians to music supplied by their own band. Then the French cure addressed his flock, after which it was the turn of the Protestants—and so on—each congregation taking it in turn until the service was concluded.—London Chronicle. New Light on Anarchism It was at our last meeting in Tiflis that the indomitable optimist threw new light on his anarchism. "Kropotkin, Reclus and myself were sitting together in London once, discussing our theories. We were taking a great deal of satisfaction in the thought that we were anarchists, who recognized no rights of coercive government. "But." he added with a smile, "I said to them: "There is one government before which we gladly bow and whose petty oppressions we willingly endure. You forget our wives."—Marynard Owen Williams, in Christian Herald. WASHINGTON CITY SIDLEIGHTS Chicken Thief Had Consideration for His Captor WASHINGTON.—Cliff Lanham, chairman of local exemption board No. 5, had an exciting experience the other night, and the thoughts of the participants therein are herewith presented for future examination by psychoanalysts. Lanham was slumbering peacefully that morning. Awakened he listened with that intentness one usually manifests on such occasions. His keen ear detected sounds out in the shed in his back yard. Jumping out of bed, Cliff grabbed his trusty 32 howitzer and made downstairs for the kitchen door. It was one of the cold nights, but Cliff plunged forth, regardless.

Demand For War Nurses Brings Problem FILM SERIES Public Must Aid by Releasing Trained Workers for Army Service T HE GROWING demand for nurses for service with the American army is creating a problem which eventually must be solved by the civilian population of the country. Every city and town in the country is affected by the unparalleled call for nurses, for upon every community there rests the responsibility of releasing as many nurses as possible for military service and adapting itself to the new wartime conditions which are bound to follow. The country has shown a determination that its soldiers and sailors shall have proper care, declares Miss Jane A. Delano, director of the department of nursing of the American Red Cross. Miss Delano has been responsible for the organization of the great war nursing service of the Red Cross. "The calls made upon the Red Cross nursing service by the government have been met up to this time," said Miss Delano, in discussing the growing need of nurses. "The gravity of the situation lies in the problem immediately confronting the country. It is inconceivable that our boys and men, who are offering all they have for us, should not have the best care that the utmost skill and devotion can give them. Nurses have responded splendidly to military service, as soon as they have realized the enormity of the needs. "The nursing profession will not fail. But the fact that must be brought home to everyone is that every nurse released for military duty leaves a vacancy in civilian life. And this, too, at a time when there is an increased amount of sickness and distress brought about by the very war conditions which decrease the number of nurses in civilian hospitals. "By a recent estimate of the surgeon general's office not far from 30,000 nurses may be needed, if the war continues, for our army alone, and the allies are depending on us to supplement their own nursing service. There are between 80,000 and 90,000 nurses registered in the United States. Approximately 17,000 of this number are already enrolled Red Cross nurses. This enrollment is the reserve of the United States army nurse corps and navy nurse corps, and from it nurses are also supplied to the United States public health service as required. "Since the declaration of war the department of nursing has selected and equipped for service with the army nurse corps 4,204 nurses, and with the navy nurse corps 570. It is maintaining several hundred more directly under the Red Cross, including 89 nurses in France, 12 in Roumania, three in Greece and one in Serbia, and 56 Red Cross public health nurses on duty in the sanitary zones surrounding the cantonments. There are also over 2,000 nurses organized into units and practically ready for mobilization. "Though the enrollment of nurses with the Red Cross averages 1,000 a month, not even this number will meet the constantly increasing needs of the government," continued Miss Delano. "So far, by careful adjustment these demands have been met without seriously disorganizing the home conditions. But from now on every possible effort will have to be made by the general public, as well as by the nursing profession and nurses' training schools to meet wisely and effectively the crisis that is created by the rapidly decreasing number of nurses in civilian hospitals." When asked how the general public could contribute to bring this about, Miss Delano butlined several plans of co-operation. "The general public," she said, "can co-operate in such vital matters as releasing more private duty nurses for military duty. It can do this definitely and immediately by utilizing hospital facilities, visiting nurses, and similar agencies where one nurse can care for several patients; by families learning to care for minor illnesses in their own homes, and by preparing by whatever means are afforded in their communities to assist in all matters pertaining to public health. "A striking example of how the women of the country have already begun to take hold of the situation is the fact that over 50,000 women have satisfactorily completed the Red Cross courses of 15 lessons each in 'Elementary Hygiene and Home Care for the Sick' and 'Home Dietetics,' which were established for the purpose of aiding women to care for the sick in their own homes. Several groups of men, about to move into isolated districts, have also taken these courses. "Then," continued Miss Delano, "public interest is needed in recruiting the nursing profession. The country through the surgeon general, through the Red Cross, through the council of national defense, HARRIS & EWING MISS JANE DELANO, DIRECTOR OF DEPARTMENT OF NURSING, AMERICAN RED CROSS through training schools everywhere, has expressed its need of more nurses. Capable and educated young women can perform no more patriotic service than by entering training schools for nurses and thus preparing to adopt nursing as a profession. This crisis is not just of this year and the next and perhaps the next, but for many years to come. The sick and wounded may before long be crowding our civilian as well as our base hospitals. We shall be confronted by serious health problems for many years as an aftermath of the war." Since the entrance of the United States into the war the number of pupil nurses entering training schools for nurses has increased 20 per cent over the year before. Very generally, Miss Delano said, superintendents and directors of training schools throughout the country have, with great resourcefulness and energy, arranged for the training and housing of an increased number of students. Sometimes when the latter has not been possible, public-spirited people have placed suitable accommodations at their disposal. In some cases, too, the hours of training have been arranged to permit students to take the course and live at their own homes. Miss Clara Noyes, one of the most distinguished women of her profession in the United States, recently superintendent of the training school for nurses in connection with Bellevue and its allied hospitals in New York, and at present director of the bureau of field nursing of the Red Cross, has been acting as field agent for this bureau for some weeks, addressing mass meetings in a number of cities, urging the recruiting of nurses. Hospitals and training schools are undertaking arduous, difficult and heavily increased tasks with enthusiasm, as a patriotic duty, she reported. Also, they have given and are giving in many instances the most valued members of their staffs of nurses for military service, in the same spirit of sacrifice that has made the individual nurse give up all consideration of personal comfort or advantage, to face stern duties abroad; and the woman who would eagerly have gone on foreign duty stands by her post when most needed at home, with the steadfast purpose of serving the colors with all her ability wherever she might be assigned. The young probationer, just starting out on her hospital course, finds one of her greatest satisfactions in the knowledge that she, too, is serving the colors from the very first day of her training, which she does very literally by aiding in the care of the civilian sick and thus helping directly in the present emergency. And another of the satisfactions of her work is that immediately upon the completion of her course she enters upon the full responsibilities and opportunities for usefulness of the graduate nurse. Miss Delano pointed out further the wide scope of activities open to the trained nurse, and the fact that after the war, when all the world will be looking to a new foundation of public health and welfare, women of superior ability will be needed in greater numbers than ever before in hospitals and schools of nursing as superintendents and supervisors, instructors and lecturers. The profession of nursing, Miss Delano emphasized, is not alone the care of the sick in hospitals and homes. It is the care of babies and prenatal instruction of mothers; supervision of the health of schoolchildren; instruction and care of tuberculosis patients; nursing and welfare work in industrial plants; mental hygiene work, and hospital social service; and it enters into almost every branch of the social service structure. Bulletins dealing in the most concrete way with all the questions likely to be asked by young women considering the nurse's training, have been issued by the committee on nursing of the council of THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1918. national defense, and may be had on application to the committee on nursing, council of national defense, Washington, D. C. In the great majority of schools the pupil nurse is at no expense for tuition, board, room, laundry or uniform. The regularity and interest of the life are strengthening physically and mentally. Salaries after graduation compare favorably with salaries of other professional women, and unlimited opportunities are waiting for the nurse at the completion of her course. "The training offers rich compensations for its exacting work," said Miss Delano, "for the capable trained nurse has gained along with knowledge of suffering and tragedy, the broad outlook of one who has learned to think in terms of humanity; and the realization that her work is helping to make the world a happier and a better place." What it means to be a Red Cross nurse is a question that is asked repeatedly at all chapter headquarters. To be a "Red Cross nurse" is to have met the standards of enrollment of the Red Cross, and to be subject to such calls of duty from the Red Cross as are specified in the enrollment. Red Cross nurses receive no compensation except when on active duty. When called on for service with the United States army or navy nurse corps they receive the pay and maintenance provided by law for these corps, and are entitled to the same war-risk insurance as officers and enlisted men. All Red Cross nurses assigned to duty in military or naval hospitals automatically become members of the Army and Navy Nurse corps, and after their assignment to duty are no longer under the supervision or direction of the Red Cross. In order to meet the increasing demands of the Army and Navy Nurse corps, the Red Cross has modified its former requirements for enrollment. The age limit has been lowered to twenty-one years, and in special cases nurses over forty may be accepted. Smaller schools for nurses have been placed on the accredited list, and applicants are judged on their merits. The American Red Cross has no schools for nurses, nor does it give or authorize any short course which qualifies one as a trained nurse. Short courses which it does give in "Elementary Hygiene and Home Care of the Sick" and "Home Dietetics" are not equivalent to hospital training. But satisfactory completion of the first course is the first step in becoming a Red Cross Volunteer Nurses' Aid, the term which is applied to those women who, having met definite requirements of the Red Cross, are available for such service as they have voluntarily pledged themselves to give. If it becomes necessary to rely on the assistance of volunteers to aid in the care of sick and wounded soldiers and sailors, they will be selected from among those who have had this instruction. The women so selected will be given an opportunity for practical experience of one month of eight hours daily in approved hospitals. No guarantee of selection for service is given by the Red Cross, but it urges upon the women of the country the practical value of these courses to home and community. "Every day, at the headquarters of the Red Cross in Washington, nurses are being mobilized for duty at home or abroad," said Miss Delano. "A call may come in the morning for a group of nurses for service with the British expeditionary forces, in the afternoon for another group specially skilled in contagious work for a cantonment hospital at home, or for public health nurses needed in the sanitary zones surrounding the cantonments. Sometimes they go in units of a hundred or more, sometimes in smaller companies and sometimes alone; prepared for any hardship, or any service, with the bronze letters 'U. S.' on the collars of those serving under the government in the Army and Navy Nurse corps, the Red Cross insignia marking the uniform of those serving directly under the Red Cross—small emblems of high service."

This lesson deals with the last of those four events which mark the crisis in the life of our Lord at Capernaum. It occurred just before the third period of his Galilean ministry and the time of his final departure for Jerusalem. We have seen what the attitude of Jesus was toward the law of his nation. In this lesson we see his attitude toward the rabbinical traditions of the people which were the opinions of men and not the law of God. Just so many today look upon the forms and ceremonies of the church as being verily the law of God. Moreover, these traditions were made a pretext whereby men evaded the law. So today we find men very religious and punctilious in their churchly duties, who fail miserably in their application of the moral code to conduct. The analysis falls into four general divisions: One, the accusation, (vv. 1-5; two, the answer, (vv. 6-13); three, the application, (vv. 14-23); four, the illustration, (vv. 24-37). 1. The Accusation. (vv. 1-5). The growing hatred of the Pharisees, led them to make long journeys from Jerusalem that they might spy on Jesus and find a pretext for accusation. While they were studying him, they revealed their ideas of the kingdom of God. They took special notice that the disciples of Jesus ate without washing their hands. We must not understand this to mean so much the removal of defilement, as the neglect of a ceremonial observance over which the Pharisees were punctillous. (vv. 3, 4). Verses three and four illuminate certain traditions to which the Jews adhered tenaciously. Thus exemplified we can see that their ideas of man's relation to God were largely a matter of external ceremony. Purity to them was an outward matter largely governed by the traditions of men. (vv. 4). II. The Answer (v. 6:13). The answer of Jesus reveals the very opposite ideal. He begins by calling the Pharisees hypocrites. A hypocrite is a play actor—one who hides behind a mask. Applying the prophecy of Isaiah, Jesus plainly tells the Pharisees that they are hiding their true character behind the mask of ceremonial cleansing. Such play acting is but a poor imitation of the real heart condition demanded of God, (Psa. 51:10). Their hearts were far from God, even though with their lips they professed to serve him. The love we express to God consists not in ritualistic worship, but in doing his will from the heart. III. The Application, (v. 14:23). Jesus takes advantage of this discussion, and, turning to the multitude, upon whom the Pharisees would bind a grievous burden of ceremonialism and falsehood (Matt. 23:4); warns them that it is not so much that which enters into a man that defiles him, as that which issues from him (v. 15). It seems quite natural that in their perplexity the disciples should ask Jesus what he meant by that. In his reply (vv. 18:23), Jesus shows very clearly that "the issues of life" (Prov. 4:23), reveal the corruption which is within. See Matt. 12:34, 35; Gen. 6:5; James 3:10(12). If the heart be not cleansed, what will it avail if we wash the hands? What then is the application for this present day? Clearly we are taught the danger of lip service without a change of heart. Substituting good for the best is sin. Forms and ceremonies are good and have their place; they are significant for they are important teaching factors; but they must not be substituted for a pure heart. We must beware lest we hide behind such a mask. There is here also plain teaching as to Jesus' estimate of the Pentateuch and inferentially of the prophecy of Isaiah. He specifically calls it "the Word of God." Surely we can accept his estimate as contrasted with the tradition of the elders or the "consensus of modern thought." Less preaching and more practicing, Less organization and more of the spirit Finally, we have two illustrations as to how Jesus sets men free. (a) Jesus' silence appears to deepen faith in the pleading Syrophenician woman (v. 24-30). (b) We have the cure of the deaf and the dumb man, (vv. 31-37); instantaneous healing, showing divine power. Jesus was setting his people free from their bodily infirmities and at the same time delivering them from their sins and imperfections and bringing them into his spiritual Kingdom. This he is still doing. What Well Dressed Women Will Wear THE WOOL COAT FOR MOTOR AND GENERAL WEAR Coats for general wear—it almost goes without saying—should be weatherproof; but weatherproof garments have to be that and much more to meet the approval of the sophisticated woman of today. She requires crisp style and substantial quality in them and cheerful colors. Two rainproof coats that declare themselves ready to meet the most critical eye are pictured above. The only departure they make from the rules that govern in the season's coat styles, appear in the matter of length. Nearly all coats are several inches shorter than the frock worn under them, but the rainproof coat is privileged to be an inch or so longer. ments that manufacture nearly like hand-knitted not always easy to dress them. There is more machine-knitted swatches exactly all them are finished with. Leaving out the sweater coats of silk and are worn with spoon wise, that are an smart woman's war many styles in the sweaters for real sweets these are shown in one for the "flapper" one for the grownup of wool, closely knitted The coat at the left is a smart example of the military style and nothing will be quite so appropriate for a coat for all weathers. It has big patch pockets on body and skirt, a convertible collar and narrow, loose belt of the fabric. It fastens with a fly, to the left of the front and is equal to protecting the gown under it perfectly. It is of a fabric resembling covert cloth, in every way to be recommended. The story of the coat at the right is told so completely in the picture that Q TENNIS IN THE WAKE OF SPORTS there is almost nothing to say about it. It also is made in double-breasted style fastening to the left with bone buttons and is a good style for any of the usual waterproofed wool materials like serge, twill, covert cloth, etc. To add to our comfort milliners have added rainproof materials to their stocks and even the most fragile fabrics are made impervious to moisture. But to wear with rainproof coats, small tailored hats made of millinery patent leather or of satin or lacquered braids look their capable part. A satin hat with silk cord and tassel is shown with the military coat in the picture and in style and utility they are two of a kind. There are sweaters—and sweaters, in greater variety of design and texture and color than ever before and in almost universal demand. Silk, fiber silk and wool are the yarns used for the handsome machine-knitted gar- --- ments that manufacturers make so nearly like hand-knitted ones that it is not always easy to distinguish between them. There is more precision in the machine-knitted sweaters, all the stitches exactly alike, but many of them are finished with hand knitting. Leaving out the sweaters and sweater coats of silk and silk fiber which are worn with sport skirts or otherwise, that are an essential of the smart woman's wardrobe, there are many styles in the very practical sweaters for real sports wear. Two of these are shown in the illustration—one for the "flapper"—at the right and one for the grownup. These are both of wool, closely knitted and are classed as fitted slip-overs. The sweater for the little girl has collar and cuffs of angora wool and is a good general utility model, while the other proclaims itself an ideal garment for all sorts of sports. A very clever model in a loosely knitted, heavy coat swater, designed to provide warmth when it is needed, has a small square cape collar that may be turned up over the head and buttoned so that it forms a hood. It also buttons up close about the throat and has two comfortable-looking pock- L ets. The sports woman who has it among her belongings will be fortified against any weather emergency. The loosely fitting, sleeveless, silk slip-over is coming in for much consideration as a novelty for midsummer wear. It is shown in vivid tones of green, in rose and in blue shades. It is not so altogether practical as the regulation sweater coat, buttoned at the front and provided with sleeves, but it is amazingly smart. Among the sweater coats there are loosely knit models with plaited skirts and knitted sashes, finished with fringe that are very handsome for mature women.

BLIND BOONE COMPANY Editor Kansas City Sun: The interest taken in my previous letter to you seems to indicate a live appreciation of the signs of progress, social, economic and political that the careful observer finds in the racial life in the Southland. Since writing you, the Blind Boone Company, after spending three months along the Gulf tidewater, arrived in Montgomery, Ala., one of the most progressive places, from the racial standpoint, we have found in the South. The atmosphere of the racial life accurately reflects the dynamic influence of its superior school environment. The location of the State Normal within its limits and the proximity of Selma University, with an enrollment of about five hundred students, and Tuskegee Institute with, this year, about fifteen hundred students, reacts upon the racial life of Montgomery, as it is in one of the most used lines of approach to each of the larger institutions named. The average intelligence is higher, and more practically progressing than in many places of larger racial population. The religious side manifests itself in the ownership of handsome and substantial modern church edifices; and the First Baptist, Rev. Stokes, the treasurer of the National Baptist Association, as pastor; Old Ship, A. M. E. Zion, Rev. Matthews, as pastor; Dexter Street Baptist Church, Rev. Callahan, as pastor; St. John A. M. E.; First Church, A. M. E. Z., Rev. Marshall, pastor, are fine types of the hope of the future of church of the race, progressive and liberal—practical in appointment and breadth of view of both pulpit and new. Rev. Stokes appeals to your consideration, first, as just a great big monly man—sincere, high minded and capable—a natural leader of men; ecsondly, as a Christian gentleman in the fullest sense of the term, sincerely concients in assuming the profession of a minister—for it is one of the greatest possibilities for good or evil in life, deifying or mocking religion; thirdly, as a philosopher, an altruist, an economist, giving, out of the broad experience of mature years, his people the benefit in money, public service and ideals, the things to elevate an unfortunate race and modify a hostile environment. The following is a case in point of one of the many varieties of service rendered: It seems to be the custom in the Southland to celebrate the Christmas time much after the fashion the Fourth of July is celebrated in the Northern States; hence, New Year's Eve is the occasion of much fireworks and bilarity. It is also about the time that the Northern tourists begin coming south for the winter. Among the plans of local committees (white) to entertain the visitors and about forty thousand soldiers of the National Army, stationed at Fort Sheridan, close by, was the idea of having a "basket tooting" contest. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with the idea, I wish to explain that it is a contest to determine who can carry the largest and heaviest bundle or basket on his or her head; of course, the winner usually receives some inconsequential amount of money for being the "champion basket toter," etc. You can easily imagine what a "basket toting contest would be like on Main street in Kansas City, and also about what class of individuals would be the "toters"; you can also appreciate the mental attitude of the spectators, the press account and the consequent moral effect of the same. Thinking of the "bunch of unframed pictures" who would qualify as "professional toters," and the consequent reflection upon what the race has accomplished or attempted in fifty years, you can better appreciate the indignation and resit ment with which Rev. Stokes of the First Baptist Church addressed his congregation, assembled at the Blind Boone concert on New Year's Eve night in the church chapel, concerning the duty of the race toward such parading of the direclets of the race before the world as the racial type, especially before the Northern visitor—many of whom no doubt have contributed much towards those grand denominational schools that first raised a light darkness, and who are still the educational first line of defense in the South. Big, brave, courteous, but positive, he made plain to the humblest mind that there are some things that one may not do, thinkingly, even for money; and through the presence of several white soldiers in the audience made us feel that in a city that does not permit the Chicago Defender to be sold, he possessed courage of the highest order, for he, in no uncertain terms, expressed his disapproval and demanded that every race man not only refuse to take part, but use every influence to prevent the less intelligent from so doing. The fact that the attitude taken by Rev. Stokes was also taken by the pastors of the other leading churches and individuals of influence, caused the crystallization of a public sentiment that completely killed the "toting contest"; and self-respect, intelligence and social service had won one more of the thousand of victories to be won in the elevation of the race. The intellectual expresses itself indirectly in the personnel of the professional classes, i. e., ministers, teachers, physicians, dentists, male and female, pharmacists, merchants; and the appreciation the average audience shows for the higher orders of entertainment such as visit Montgomery on their route from Tuskegee to Selma University, etc. It may be observed indirectly in the economic status of the race, i. e., in the substantial homes, places of business and well located business and income property in the downtown district. Rev. Stokes is rated as, possibly, Montgomery's most wealthy Negro; but Mr. Tulane, a member of the board of directors of Tuskegee College; Dr. D. H. C. Scott, supervising surgeon of Camp Sheridan Emergency Hospital, and many others are the leaders in that new philosophy of the race that a "leading citizen" should stand for something more tangible than those possessed by the character portrayed by the lamented Booker T. Washington in one of his droll stories. They are men of fine character, successful in their respective lines of endeavor, economically independent and an inspiration to the race. No survey of the Southland would be complete without due mention of that gentleman, educator and publicist, Prof. A. F. Owens, D. D., expresident of Selma University, former member of faculty of Tuskegee and at present Dean of Theology at Selma University, who, in his characteristic way, explained his resignation from the larger to the smaller field of endeavor by saying that he felt that he could accomplish more good for his race by "denaturing the empyotic Bible beaters" and teaching the students of theology the full responsibility both to God and man of having a "call to preach." While the present scope of his work is limited largely to theology and the social sciences, his possibilities for the good of the race are unlimited, in view of the fact that, for some mysterious reasons, there are reported to be seventy-two and in another city eighty-four churches of one denomination, neither city having a racial population greater than fifty thousand. One may not observe a large number of congregations consisting of from twenty-five to a hundred in nearly every city of any size "Hooverizing" by having preaching once or twice a month in a large city without being compelled to wonder why. Perhaps Dr. Owens knows and has never chosen his smaller field of endeavor; and if he is greatest who renders the greatest good to humanity, "his place in the future history of the race is secure." His is a character one is compelled to admire, even on first meeting—well poised, sincere, forceful—respected alike by both races, and able to personally command more space and consideration from the white daily papers than any other writer of the race in the Southland; and much of the complimentary notices of individuals and organizations of the race emanates from his pen. The Blind Boone Company acknowledges its obligations to him for the appreciative receptions, economically and socially, accorded them throughout the Southland. At another time I hope to write you some observations and thoughts of Tueskegee and Nashville, but each is worthy of a "sole agency." The Blind Boone Company is doing a fine business and all are well, though we have our joys and sorrows. Mrs. Marguerite Day, mezzo-soprana and secretary, was called to the bedside of her father, Andrew Giles., 1186 West street, Topeka, Kas., and spent a few hours in Kansas City en route. Mr. Giles is improving, however, Mrs. Day is again kissing "Her Brown Skin Baby" and getting "big hands" with the Boone Company. Miss Edna Lee gave the Boone Company a thriller by quietly being married to Dr. T. C. Goodwin, the leading dentist of Newport, Ark., at Walnut Ridge, Ark., Monday, March 4, 1918. The happy couple are spending a week in Newport and Little Rock with relatives and friends, and Mrs. Lee Goodwin will join the Boone Company at West Plains, Mo., March 11, and finish the season. Mr. Boone seriously questions whether he is conducting a marriage bureau, without license, as in thirteen months he has, by struggling, made three brides happy; i. e., Miss Marguerite Boyd, now Day; Miss Marie Jackman, now Cox, and Miss Edna Lee, now Goodwin—grilts take notice.
