PHIL WATERS KILLED The Kansas City Sun the disastrous move in this girl's life. This splendid organization and the action, entitled "The Spirit of 1918." nual entertainment of this now fam. R. B. Lee, and it is confidently ex stirring spectacle this year. All we know is that it happened. 500 students of the school will be seen Last year 8,000 highly pleased patrons, ous high school, which has made suchpected that 10,000 persons will be present the night of May 10 to witness this Those who really cared could see it in a brilliant pageant full of life and parents and friends witnessed the an-wonderful progress under Principal J. coming but could not save. One morning, Mrs. Blank hurried into the dining room where her husband was awaiting breakfast and throwing herself into his arms, sobbed out. "John, our "Baby" didn't come home at all last night. Oh what shall I do? Remember, we are not telling a detailed story. Just facts, though largely by inference. Therefore, the reader easily grasps the meaning of this tragic scene and knows the out-cry, which too true, has rung down the accruing centuries of this world experience. Today it rings in thousands of homes. That first night away from home in disregard of parental injunction has been the knell of pain to thousands of girls. "Mary," here, then, is a type, not an individual. One Year Later. In one of the slum districts I saw a figure moving along the street in a half halting fashion as the aflemm usually discover and those who are waiting for something to "turn up." The form was not bent, but jaded. The hair lay sluggishly and stringy in coarse inapt folds. The face showed unusual signs of bloatness as from the immediate effect or swift aftermaths of excesses strewn on with the listless and indifferent hand. Although she presented a coarse sight, there were plenty artful reminders about this person to suggest that she was something—once. The "reminders" seem to speak in the negative. That is, one was impressed with a sense of departed glory, wasted vivacity, and the absence of that spring of life which sustains the moral, giving the real the living and that which is right with God. But she moves on shortly. As she A PROTEST AGAINST BULLETIN No. 35 To The Secretary of the War Department, Washington, D.

I desire to protest against the ruling and decision in the case wherein a Colored officer, or soldier, must swallow discrimination without protest, and do humbly, yet strenuously, petition the War Department to change any such ruling or decision which is not based upon a man's moral or legal right of action, use or enjoyment of a privilege. I further protest because such a decision is vicious in principle, unjust in operation in any army of democracy, and un-American in suggestion. P.

Bell Phone East 999 and 2789 VOLUME X. NUMBER 35. By Chas. A. Starks. (A short story in two parts, treating the causes which lead to vice conditions and the "safe guards which preserve and save our girls from such a fate.) (Continued from our last issue.) Though christened "Mary," "That Other Woman" was the name by which she was known, like her Biblical counterpart who walked and carried the burden of oblique and scorn and out of whom the Science of Truth did cast "Seven Devils." All Glory to this Divine power which masters the strongholds of so called evil, casting out, purifying and adjusting to the Fine law of Harmony. Mary! and beautiful she was. Her face looked as though some partial and highly exquisite mould had formed the singular cast. Complexion as the sun-kissed corn or half burnished gold. Her eyes, black and glorious, shone radiantly with fun and mischief in every twinkle. Her black hair, not the boasted Angio-Saxon variety, stood out and fell back primitively to the graceful shoulders, making a wonderful background to her sun-lit countenance. The mouth, though happy, seemed to pucker up with pouts as well as smiles. As she walked one could see the sculptored hints of her form which responded lithely to a vivacious nature. Whatever may be said in panegyric words of the women or other races, we are satisfied in saying that here was a Poem in Brown! Too bad; Too bad to be compelled to spold the above picture. The writer feels guilty of some sacrilege of Art or beauty. But truth, thank God! has a greater, claim upon his muse. To those readers who are content to see beauty happified with virtue's simplicity should stop at the first picture. Go no further. For we shall discover beauty when coupled with the foolish. And so this girl, in her home, was an idol. And like all true "idols" she responded poorly to the desires of her worshippers. And what the "Idol" wanted herself, she demanded imperiously. When timid censure came from parental uqarters which essayed to admonish little infractions committed by the worshipped one. She pouted, overruled and had her way. Still there was a charm about her. Young men seemed to rave over her and for each of these she had a smile. "My! but it is fun to see them scrabble over me," she often said to herself. But chaperoning she despised. She had sense enough to take care of herself. She would choose her own company. She didn't like for her brother to go along with her, for he was continually raising some question of propriety. The girl across the street went out when she pleased and with whom she pleased. Why shouldn't she? They should stop nagging her! Thus the "Idol" waxed in strength of privilege and grew even more beautiful. In a great city where humanity gathers in colossal herds, who can trace the currant of thought or action surging through this density and vastness? We meet, look and by some wave of the hand or turn of head we have conveyed the subtle something that may, who knows, turn the world upside down? So ask me not when started the disastrous move in this girl's life. All we know is that it happened. Those who really cared could see it BAND AND ORCHESTRA KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1918. LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL CADET CORPS AND THEIR FAMOUS REGIMENTAL BAND. than a year ago. That's Miss Blank, used to be a good looking gal, but she's blowed up now." Strange feelings creep over me, I recognize the once idol of a beautiful home. Wrath, disgust and pity wring my soul in turns. One year ago this thing was in the glory and flower of young womanhood—a peer in our best social circles—protected by the respectability of that home she grew to despise. She who overruled the restraints of those safe guards of society went down even like the lamentable "Titanic," only reaching more embittered depths than the sea. Look at our boasted "Poem in Brown"—Now! Oh muse, sing me a song of the heart distressed; a soul broken upon the wheels of desolation; bowed down with the sorrow of its own sin; the suffering of its own folly; the depths of its own mis-judgment, tested by the thoughtless plunge into the forbidden and unknown. And yet there is reality down there, but how grim! I seem now to see the victim lying flatly on the cold floors of error, raised on one elbow, staring painfully into the awakening that is too cruelly real. Alas, too late! The time of recall is past. If there is repentance it must prove the hand maid of reform, ere full Redemption comes. Till then there is nothing left but far off hope, dimly 'mid the obscuring shadows of gloom. The 25th Infantry The Sun is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. George W. Prioleau, wife of the distinguished chaplain of the 25th Infantry, Major George W. Prioleau, containing programs to the series of recent entertainments given by the officers and members of the regiments located at Schoffield Barracks, Honolulu, beginning with an impressive program rendered Good Friday and continuing through Easter with a benefit dance and entertainment on the evening of March 26. Mrs. Prioleau also sends a copy of the patriotic and war songs compiled and sung by the men of the 25th Infantry, which includes such stirring hymns as "The Star Spangled Banner," "Onward, Christian Soldiers," "Over There," "Goodby, Broadway; Hello, France," "For the Freedom of the World," "Canning the Kaiser," "Smoke Yankees," "Marching Through Europe," and an original composition to the air of "Onward; Christian Soldiers" composed by Mrs. Prioleau. The following from the columns of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin of April 5 speaks for itself: "On Tuesday evening in the post gymnasium a large dance was given for the men of the Merry Matrons' Club of the 25th Infantry, the proceeds of which were for the benefit of the Red Cross and the tobacco fund. This club, under the leadership of their chaplain's wife, composed of the wives of the non-compassioned officers, has been very successful in giving benefit entertainments. The hall was artistically decorated with flags for the occasion. Colonel Earl C. Carnahan and Mrs. George W. Prioleau led the dance. A splendid dance program was furnished by the 25th Infantry Regimental Band. During the evening, sandwiches, punch and programs were sold by the members of the club, netting $200. Many compliments are due to the members of this club upon their success." REV. D. NORFLEET. The pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church, Armstrong will conduct a ten days' meeting for Rev. A.

Waters was the first notary public of color to be appointed in the state and was several times clerk of the committee on finance and taxation on one or the other side of the legislature. He was active in politics from boyhood, and attended, always in an official capacity, every Republican National Convention since that of 1892. He had attended also every state convention of his party since that year, serving as reading clerk, in which capacity he had few equals. His circle of acquaintances and friends was unusually large. From these, Colored as well as white all over the country, telegrams of condolence are pouring into the city to the bereaved family, the immediate members of which are the widow, daughter, father, mother and two brothers.

MOTHERS, LISTEN! Please allow me space to express my heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Joe E. Herriford, Sr., for that most excellent article concerning our girls. I believe that I voice the sentiment of every right thinking mother when I say that that article alone was worth a year's subscription. Mr. Herriford, with many others, knows more about the doings and misdoings of our children than we, because they are with them ten months out of twelve and see and hear things that we never know. The great mistake that we have always made is not uniting ourselves for the uplift of our people from a moral standpoint instead of gossiping all the slander we hear. Another point I would like to add, that is about parties given by our children between the ages of twelve and seventeen; boys and girls out until 11 o'clock at night with no protection whatever. If they must give these parties, why not between 2 and 9 o'clock? We must awake to the duty of saving our boys and girls. When we save a boy we have saved somebody's girl. The time has come and it is going to take the entire force of parents, teachers and preachers to save our children. We must stop so much gossip and slander and get right and live right if we would save our children. Think of what our blessed Savior said, "He that is without sin cast the first stone." Let us thank and encourage this man who thinks and can put his thoughts into words. A MOTHER OF SIX. Mrs. Joseph H. Richardson, 1216 Woodland Ave., Kansas City, Mo.

His White Folks done told him dat all the husbands who did not support they wives had to fight for Uncle Sam and Lord Child you ought to seen old Slap Jack looking for a job. He said, he didn't want Mylinda to work no how; but Mylinde jest would work and of course one in de family was enough to work at de time, now can you beat dat?

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The following account of the success of Mr. John M. Maxwell was presented by Mr. H. S. Murphy, of the State Normal school, Montgomery, Alabama, in one of the letters submitted in the contest for the best and most interesting account of Negro business enterprises: Politeness has piled up $100,000 for John Murreau Maxwell, age 37 Orangeburg, South Carolina. Starting in 1904 with politeness and $200.00 Maxwell fixed the gaze of trade by these means: 1. He always smiles. 2. He sells some without obnoxiously seeming to "corner" your money. 3. He makes you know your bill is becoming a "bad debt" without scolding. "What is your bill?" he asks, hoping you will agree politely. 4. He is politely interested in every one's personal affairs, knowing whose babies are sick, who needs charity, who needs a teacher, or a new horse and where to obtain them. 5. He learns even his customers' voices over the phone. "Maxwell's grocery," he replied to ring once. "Mr. Maxwell," called a lady. "Yes. LINCOLN COM F Annual Cad Phys Pageant-- SEATS----50 B Boxes reserved on 4,000 Seats- 2,000 Seats- Tickets, except B Drug Stores, and a Proceeds amount n Miss Massey," came the instant reply. 6. Nothing is never "out"—in theory at least—at Maxwell's. He goes personally to every grocery in town to find a promised article, if necessary. 7. Trained under the veteran colored grocer, E. H. Dibble, Camden, South Carolina, who is known as "the politest man in town," and who has piled up $100,000 by the same method, Maxwell seemsm to treat even a female cat with extraordinary courtesy. He takes off his hat to talk to a lady over the phone, and never sits while a lady is in his store. RESULOS: (a) That $100,000 aforementioned, gleaned in 13 years. (b) Ability to sell several "Maxwell's Specials" because of large orders given; (c) When the war cry sounded, Maxwell contracted, among other things, for 500 tons of lard and 100 tons of cotton-seed meal.

M. of which her deceased husband, Benjafin Frye was a member for forty years. She leaves to Mourn her loss two daughters, several grandchildren and a host of frinds. Sister Frye was a very debot ed Christian; her every day talk was that she was just waiting for the Lord to take her. J. S. Saunders. EDITOR GIVENS DEAD. EDITOR GIVENS DEAD. The Sun was shocked as well as pained to hear of the death of Prof. P. C. Givens of Sedalia, Mo., the brilliant and hard working Editor of the U. B. F. Searchlight. Prof. Givens was a high class, courteous, and refined christian gentleman who was sincerely admired by all who knew him and who rendered invaluable service both to the U. B. F. and the Masonic fraternity in this state. The race mourns his passing and his place will not soon be filled in the hearts of the people of this commonwealth. Mrs. Harris, wife of Dr. J. H. Harris of Sedalia, Mo., passed away after a long illness last Monday at the family residence. Mrs. Harris' husband is not only one of the ablest physicians of the race but she has two splendid sons, one Dr. Earl A. Harris of Springfield, Mo., and Dr. Mayo Harris of the home city, who have made rapid strides in their profession. Another commendable coincidence is the fact that her three brothers are all eminent members of the Medical fraternity in the person of Drs. T. A. and W. P. Curtis of St. Louis, Mo., and Dr. J. Webb Curtis of Hot Springs, Ark. The Sun extends its sympathy. A UNIQUE AND NOVEL WEDDING. It is possible that the first time in the history of Kansas City that a wedding took place in a jewelry store, happened in J. A. Wilson's store last Monday evening week. It happened in this wise. The contracting parties were prominent young people of Greater Kansas City and the ceremony was to be performed in Kansas City, Kans., at a private residence of a relative of the bride. An elaborate lunch was ready to be served at the close of the ceremony. The preacher was ready to perform the cermony when it was discovered that owing to the young man not having much former experience in such matters, the license he procured was issued for the Stat of Missouri and the ceremony could not be legally performed in Kansas. The blushing-to-be bride became nervous, the bridgegroom was at his wits, when the lady of the house remembered that the nearest acquaintance and friend on the Missouri side was J. A. Wilson, the jeweler. She at once phoned and requested that he would allow his place to be used for a wedding ceremony. Thinking that a practical joke was about to be played on him, but in accordance with his disposition of trying to please his friends even at his expense, he readily consented. In a short time he was surprised to see, entering his store, a party of nearly a dozen persons, including the prominent Mrs. Jenkins CHOOL ALL 10 Girls Exhibition of 1918" N. $5.00 for a box. at Lincoln High School) each (not reserved.) each (not reserved.) aseo Y. M. C. A., at high School students added to ing Office of Kansas City, Mo., and the stalwart figure of the Rev. Griffin of the 1st A. M. E. church, who proceeded without much prefare to perform the ceremony. There were no lilac blossoms nor floral wreaths, no wedding march nor trailing veils; instead the decorations were silver and gold, diamonds and one fern, which after all were very appropriate. But the strangest part of the whole thing was that the jewelers observant eye saw that the groom had provided no wedding ring but he was so "flustered" by the unusual occasion that he forgot to mention the deficiency and offer to supply the same from his stock. Mr. Wilson says that on another occasion he will use both his eyes and his wits. MRS. HATTIE WILEY Graduate of Prof. Yhnell's School of Scien- tific Swedish Body Massage.

In loving memory of our two children who departed this life two years ago April 13 and 18 respectively. Just two years and a few days ago Since we received the heartrending blow; Death's messenger came, his sad story to tell The Master has't need of the dear Willa Belle. Oh how we have missed thee, thou dear little flower; Still we gladly submit to the Master of power; For all that He doeth, He doeth it well; He will love thee and keep thee, dear Willa Belle. The messenger came, to be merciful He tried; He then went away but was not satisfied. And we know our dear Savior must have suffered great pain This time we could see him, hope could not decoy. He called to Leroy, come with rejoice. Rejoice with thy sister and all of the blest; Await thou in Heaven to welcome the rest. Sadly missed by ISAAC SMITH, Father; EVADINE SMITH, Mother; THORNTON SMITH, Brother. FAST WORK. Dr. W. J. Thompkins Greases the Matrimonial Wheels For An An- xious Couple. Lieutenant Frank L. Lane of Camp Funston arrived in the city last Sunday for the purpose of meeting his fiancée Miss Cecelia Ruth Scott of Houston, Texas, who arrived the evening before. Ohe Lieutenant had forgotten that the license bureau was not open on Sunday and as he had to report back early Monday morning, he was very much worried as to how he would secure his marriage license. But an old friend in the person of Dr. William J. Thompkins came to his rescue, drove out to the County Recorder's Home and secured the license then telephoned for Judge C. J. Welch to come to his residence and in the presence of Dr. and Mrs. Thompkins, Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Felix H. Payne to the accompaniments of a wedding march played by Mrs. Thompkins they were made one and left on the midnight train for Camp Funston as happy as two turtle doves. P. S. If you want things done, see Dr. Thompkins. Mary Helen Floyd of 1639 Cottage avenue, daughter of Mrs. Anna E. Floyd, was seriously injured last Sunday by being thrown from an automobile, which collided with a truck at 18th and Forest avenue. Her hip was dislocated and she was seriously cut and bruised and was hurried to the hospital, but was brought home Monday evening, where she is under the care of Dr. Unthank. She is recovering rapidly, to the pleasure of her many friends. Are You DEAF?

You can have it if you want it because most everything seems to be happening in April. The Sun believes in practicing what it preaches and for that reason it has put a new front on its offices, have painted and decorated the interior and equipped it with new furniture until we are really egotistic enough to believe that we have one of the handsomest Negro newspaper offices in the country. Seein's believin'. Come and see. The splendid record being made by the Cadets of Lincoln High school under the skillful and experienced direction of Major N. Clark Smith is a source of gratification not only to the fathers and mothers but every Negro citizen in this great city because by their neat appearance their soldierly bearing and their gentlemanly deportment, they have broken down much of the prejudice that has existed in this city and under the incomparable leadership of Principal J. R. E. Lee are helping put Kansas City on the educational map. It would be well if every Negro in the city could pass Whipple Court on Lydia avenue between 16th and 17th, where Mr. A. V. Monholland lives and see the immaculate and inspiring physical condition in which he keeps his premises and properties in the locality. Broad alley, clean, grass on all the yards, flats and houses neatly painted, no broken windows nor dilapidated porches, simply demonstrates that if the Negro will, he can. It would truly be a blessing if all the localities inhabited by our people could keep as neat, clean and artistic as the premises owned and controlled by Mr. Monholland. Let's try it.

Jamison obit, March 28 1918 The world is ever old and new, As that fair day the Pinta's prow From out the primal ocean drew A world to crown a Dreamer's brow. New world's of dream in some far sea Of thought await the poet's quest— Who knows what may discovered be, Wide-eyed, sea faring down the West? So his fair soul, our sable Bard, Upon the sea of Darkness deep, Weighed anchor, sails unfurled, and hard Aport, made safe the Harbor sleep. Bring hither praise or sigh or tear, Let all who can a full-blush rose, Heap all upon his fair young bier, His life half-blown no longer blows. Too soon is hushed his silver speech, The music dies upon the lute, The cadence falls beyond our reach; Too soon the Poet's lips are mute. I did not know him as you knew, Who heard him speak or held his gaze; He was to me a poet true, Whose singing subtly thrilled our ways. Why reckon what the unlived years For his young dreaming soul held store? A posy must suffice our tears, For never shall he sings us more. Too late to set your heart aglow. Perhaps when years a redder glow Paint soft into the deep'ning day, We, blind ones now, thenceforth shall know, Who once with held the laurel bay. Where our green cypress wreaths to lay; They song shall have one empt throne. But he, who sang in twilight gray, Shall come full wreathed into his own. —Chas. Bertham Johnson. The death of Rev. J. W. Wallace, a veteran minister of the A. M. E. Church, on last Sunday was most pathetic.

Dr. Thomas noticed him crumpled in his seat, hurried down out of the pulpit to his side and called several of the ushers and officers, who gently carried him into the office of the church, where after careful examination by Dr. Unthank, who said he could only live a short while, he was carried to his home just a few MEMORIAM Gear Mother, Sister and Aunt, 10th, 1916.

NEGROES RESENT CAMP ORDER. Wilson Asked to Countermand Funston "Color Line" Bulletin. Boston, April 21.—A telegram of protest against an order said to have been issued at Camp Funston requesting Negro soldiers and officers not to go where their presence is not desired was addressed to President Wilson today by the National Equal Rights League here. The telegram read: "The National Equal Rights League calls upon you to countermand General Ballou's bulletin, No. 35, for the Ninety-second division, Camp Funston, enjoining officers and soldiers to refrain from going into public places where their presence is resented because of color. "His dictum that asking public service is putting pleasure above the general good is not applied to white soldiers, destroys all civil rights, causes fresh discriminations, fosters race prejudice, humiliates our race and degrades the army uniform." The above news item appearing in the Kansas City Journal this week concisely reviews an event in army circles which has stirred the race throughout the entire country. General Baplou doubtless meant that his recommendation to colored soldiers would produce just the opposite effect from that which followed. His so-called "distum" was advisory rather than imperative. He appreciated an existing condition and evidently preferred to molify it rather than aggravate it. His course was wrong even though his intentions were right. Being of the "big man" type the General did not fully understand the galling rasp of the race prejudice either from the colored man's experience or its despicable unreasonableness from the "little" white man's feelings. As a result such an order emanating from mite General's office would only have the effect of increasing the trouble which the General sought to Ameliorate. The "Little White Men" would be all the more upon the alert for presumptious acts of colored men and would construe every motion as tending toward "social equality." That's really where the trouble all starts. If colored men remain away from every place where their presence is resented on account of their color they will have no place upon the Earth at all. The "Little White Men" resent every time they see a Colored man anywhere, especially if he looks intelligent and holds his head up. That's what makes them so "little." It is to these "Little White Men" both in the army and out that fatherly advice ought to be given. They are the ones who need official spanking. They have needed it for a long time and have grown almost to the point of thinking they are too big to be even called down. Preparation for war against a national foe is not a social matter and is no place for the agitation of race distinction. In the trenches of France the blood of the white and the black will be mingled in equally heroic sacrifice. The training camps are not pink tea quarters by any means. The white soldiers should be so instructed by their superiors. This much talked of race superiority is becoming very tiresome to all colored people and a great many white people. Suppose we forget it for a while, at least until we destroy the evils of Prussianism. The colored men will be needed for this and they may be needed very much, too. If Negro men are good enough to die for their country they are good enough to be treated like human beings while making the sacrifice.

Atlanta, Ga GANTED GENERAL TERMS HAPPENINGS in the BIG CITIES Barrel of Apples Makes One Peck of Trouble CHICAGO.—The motorman's life is full of vexing problems. After a long, hard winter, full of difficulties, delays, cold hands and feet and petty quarrels with passengers, he looks forward to the balmy spring days. Then small boy. That chap, ever full of mischief, ever watchful of a chance to play a trick that will reap him a good laugh and perhaps a "chase" by the unfortunate victim of the trick. A Sixty-first street car was merrily bowling along the street. The motorman had a wide grin on his face. The conductor was checking up his books preparatory to a quick leave when the car reached the barn. With the right of way clear the popular automobile of the poor people was insured a fast voyage. But alas! A barrel of apples stood innocently in front of a corner grocery. Along came a small boy. In an instant the barrel was overturned and hundreds of apples rolled into the street. The motorman's grin changed to sardonic laughter. Passengers silently cursed and the conductor knew he'd be late at home. There were cold suppers that night. The motorman could not start the car until the apples were gathered. "In springtime a young boy's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of mischief." Couldn't Get Cocktail Because of Her Uniform NEW YORK.—A tall, dignified woman, of what might be termed the interesting age to avoid trouble, walked into the Park Avenue hotel's dining room with a couple of friends, and by way of introducing luncheon ordered cocktails for the party. "I am sorry. down on the prohibition issue. She demanded that George C. Brown, who bosses everything around the place, be called. She laid the case before him. Brown took a peep at the uniform and sustained the waiter. "Women have the same privileges and the same responsibilities that men have now," he said. "The government doesn't know the difference between a warrior in khaki and a warriorress, and they'd send me over for a year for gratifying the most beautiful thirst in America if it wore uniform." At dinner that night a perfectly cool lady in khaki was waiting calmly on a sofa before the dining room for the hapless Brown to come back. Brown, according to a late report, went to his room via a fire escape. Court Rules Woman's Toilet "Trash" Is Necessary RICHFORD, N. Y.—Young men call them foolish frills. Husbands call them trash. Women call them make-up. But, hereafter, soap and perfume that are to be found on millady's dressing table are to have legal standing that the $9 weekly he was paying for her support was insufficient in these panicky times of war and costly living to keep her in the necessities of life. "But she spends it all on trash—fancy soap, face powder, and all that trash," began Whelan. Just then the judge cleared his throat, frowned down upon him and brought the complaining husband to a sudden stop. "Yes, they're trash, but they're a customary part of a woman's upkeep." Whelan agreed that he would pay the sum, although the decision had not changed his opinion in the least.

In this garb Tommie swept up to the desk of the Park hotel and registered as "Miss Evelyn Smith Carew, Detroit." The clerk, after viewing the general effect of the prospective guest, was startled on observing "her" hands. They were red, somewhat chapped, grimy and the knuckles seemed to give mute evidence that their owner had been recently playing marbles in a cinder pit. The real Tommie asserted himself at the police station, where a large, red-faced and grinning policeman demanded a kiss. "Say, whatcher doin', kiddin' somebody? I'll bust you with this bumgershoot, you big stiff," was the highly unladylike announcement of Tommie, as his fists clenched. A little later, his injured dignity soothed, Tommie explained the mystery of his appearance. "Mother wanted me to wear middy blouses to sell papers in," the masquerader said. "I wanted a suit of cordroys. Gee! Those middy blouses are nothing for a fellow to wear. I thought if she wanted me to look like a girl I'd go the limit.

Training Modern Artillery Officers UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD OWN at the Const Artillery school at Fort Monroe, Va., Uncle Sam is turning out the latest pattern of modern heavy artillery officers. The National Guard const artillery officers and such of the regular establishment as have not yet been through this school have been ordered down in two sections, the first of which above the level of the gun there is a ten-mile wind blowing straight across the line gun target, the thermometer is up to 85 and the barometer has dropped to 20. Will the projectile hit the target now? Not unless you correct the elevation of the gun for some of these conditions and its laying for the others. How are you going to do it? First, you must find the force with which your projectile cleaves the air. will from left, amou r the ed left curv our the Ta D OWN at the Const school at Fort Mo Uncle Sam is tun the latest pattern ern heavy artillery The National Gur artillery officers a of the regular ment as have not through this sch been ordered dow sections, the first already has been graduated. Upon the Coast Artillery corps has been thrust the burden of handling the heavy ordnance with which the army is equipped, and which in the field will be manipulated by methods more or less resembling the methods already laid down for sea coast ordnance. These methods are far different from those used by the field artillery proper—that is, the light three-inch riles and 4.7-inch howitzers. The present-day heavy artillery officer must be a mathematical shark, a railroad engineer and an expert in handling gasoline motors, besides having an intimate knowledge of gunny, says a writer in the New York Herald. His equipment has changed from the battery commander's ruler of the field artilleryman to a slide rule, a transit and a book of logarithms. In addition he must understand perfectly the manipulation of heavy masses—termed the art of mechanical maneuvers—for his guns will not be securely emplaced in concrete, but will be exposed to the mercles of the open road, with consequent overturnings and sudden shiftings. He must know how to use tackle of all sorts, and in general know all the tricks of the modern contractor. The officers who came down to Fort Monroe were nearly all graduates of the National Guard courses prescribed by the war department and were fully competent to handle seacoast ordnance in the forts to which they were assigned. They thought that their knowledge was ample, and it would have been for this work, perhaps, but after a day or so they found out that while this knowledge was essential to them as basic, it was only the beginning. Gunnery the Big Thing. The big thing, of course, was gunnery. This included a practical knowledge of ballistics—the science of the movement of bodies through the air. Ballistics is a very exact science, and in these days of precision is absolutely essential for the artilleryman. Reduced to language for the layman, it consists in the knowledge of just how far a given piece of ordance will hurl its projectile under all conditions. Very simple, say you. Yes, under standard conditions. Every gun when it is turned out from the maker is known to fire a certain projectile to a certain range at a certain elevation. These data are compiled in tables and are theoretically the same for all guns of the same caliber and model. These tables are known as range tables, and the conditions given for the firing of projectiles for these theoretical ranges are known as range table conditions. Remember this. Now some of the principal range table conditions or assumptions are that the earth is flat and does not revolve; that the atmospheric conditions are standard; that there is no wind; that the gun and target are on the same level, and that the action of gravity is constant throughout the trajectory. All well and good. We know that our gun, then, will fire its projectile, let us say 10,000 yards, under range table conditions. In other words, given the above conditions, it will, if properly laid in direction, hit a target 10,000 yards away. But unfortunately for us the earth is not flat, our target is 10,000 yards away, and 200 feet TAKEN FROM EXCHANGES Owing to difficulties in transportation from India, Great Britain is suffering from shortage of cottonseed, and oil cake for dairy cows is steadily rising in price. The large sugar estate owned and managed for some years at Calamba by the Dominican friars has been purchased for $1,000,000 for Japanese sugar capitalists. This is the largest project yet undertaken in the island by Japanese business men. above the level of the gun there is a ten-mile wind blowing straight across the line gun target, the thermometer is up to 85 and the barometer has dropped to 20. Will the projectile hit the target now? Not unless you correct the elevation of the gun for some of these conditions and its laying for the others. How are you going to do it? First, you must find the force with which your projectile cleaves the air. This is called the ballistic co-efficient, and is reduced by a simple formula to a figure. Knowing the weight of the projectile, its form and its diameter the ballistic co-efficient is easily calculated. The Air as a Check. You have now taken the first step. You have the force of projectile to penetrate the atmosphere under standard conditions. But this force varies with the atmosphere. On a heavy, muggy day the atmosphere is dense, and you will be surprised the checking effect it will have on your projectile. By means of elaborate tables one can find just what this effect is, and we apply it to the original formula. Also in the atmospheric factor is included the temperature, for in hot weather our powder charge when ignited exerts more strength in decomposing into gases than it does on a cold day. So far so good. What about this troublesome wind that is blowing? If it blows against the projectile it checks it; if with it, it helps it along. So we have two varying factors, which the ballistician juggles by utilizing trigonometry until he gets them in terms where he can once more change his ballistic co-efficient, making it larger or smaller as the wind impedes or accelerates the projectile. Not quite so easy as you thought, is it? But we are not through yet. We know that under range table conditions our propelling charge has a force that gives the projectile an initial velocity of so many foot seconds, say 2.250. But our powder has been stored in a dugout whose temperature is not normal, so by more figuring we find out just what this real velocity for the day is. Now we can begin to figure what elevation the gun must have to travel that 10,000 yard path to the target. By dividing our old friend C, as the ballistic co-efficient is termed, by the distance in feet that the projectile must travel, we get a reference number. This number, we take with us and bury our noses in more tables until we find opposite this number in a column headed by the muzzle velocity another number. This number, multiplied by C again, gives us the sine of twice the angle of departure. A quick glance into a table of logarithmic sines gives this to us, and dividing by two we have a figure in degrees and minutes that represents the angle which the gun must be elevated from the horizontal to send its projectile 10,000 yards today. Wait a minute. Our target is 200 feet above the level of the gun. Also because of the curvature of the earth this 200 feet height has been reduced somewhat. So once more we delve into mathematics to correct the curvature of the earth and height of site of the target. The result we subtract from the angle found, and this time our gun is ready for business. Is it? No; it is not so easy. The influence of the Rift The influence of the Rising. Every rifled piece of ordnance imparts a twist to its projectile, and this twist causes the projectile to deviate from its course. In our service this deviation, called drift, is to the right, and is in ratio with the range. It is constant, therefore, for each range, and we find it very easily, either by mathematical computation or from drift tables. Also we go back to our wind problem and find what effect the wind Englmd, accepting men of nineteen to forty-one, inclusive, has 3,000,000 soldiers in the field. Germany, accepting men of eighteen and forty-five, inclusive, has 5,000,000. Germany's permanent disables are said to be 3,500,000, or at the rate of 1,000,000 a year. King George rules over more Mohammedans than the sultan of Turkey, over more Jews than there are in Palestine and over more negroes than any other sovereign who is not a native of Africa. will have in pushing the projectile from its course, either to the right or left. These two corrections are brought together and determine the amount in degrees and minutes that the muzzle of the gun must be shifted from the target to the right or left in order that the projectile will curve toward its goal. At last we have our gun controlled so that it will hit the target. Tarry just a moment. A gun, the text books tell us, is the simplest form of gas engine. Did you ever know two gas engines of the same model that acted allike? Neither will two guns of the same model. If you have an automobile you know that the piston rings wear out, allowing gases to escape, and thus reducing the force with which the piston is forced down. Also the cylinder becomes scored with the same result. Now, if you fire your gun many times the same thing happens. The projectile is the piston and the retaining band of copper the piston ring that seals the bore. If the bore is cored or if the rotating bands are not perfect a certain escape of gases occurs and the flight of the projectile is consequently affected. Again, there may be a difference in the weight of powder charges or in the weight of the projectiles, which will give slight variations in the flight of the projectiles. So that the battery commander must know the dispersion of each piece. This he finds out from observation of his shots, and it changes as the gun grows older. By figuring the deviation of a certain group of projectiles from the target, and which are known as trial shots or fire for adjustment, he finds out what is known as the mean error of the gun. This, multiplied by the factor .845, well known to students of probabilities, gives the mean probable error. Multiplying by two, the result in yards is what is known as the 50 per cent zone, within which 50 per cent of his projectiles will fall. This computation is done longitudinally and latitudinally, giving a certain oblong strip. If the center of this strip can be placed on the target by observation of fire the battery commander has done all that he can, and may now open fire for effect. Four times the 50 per cent zone gives the 100 per cent zone, within which practically all his shots will fall. Knowledge of these zones is all important. By this means he can figure out how near he can come to our own first line trenches without murdering our infantry, and, what is almost as important, when it is necessary to save ammunition he can easily compute how many shots will be necessary to make a certain number of hits on a given target. And what about camouflage? The enemy airplanes are on the alert and all gun positions must be disguised. The battery commander must be a master of camouflage, able to erect shelters and under their cover to build his emplacements, while by the exercise of discipline he restrains his men from making tracks about the positions which will give away to the allseeing eye of the camera in the air the fact that guns are mounted there. So that is why the student outers at Fort Monroe blistered their hands and strained their backs erecting camouflages and digging dugouts and bombproofs; that is why they dove and crawled under motortrucks and delved into differentials and gear cases, emerging dirty and grimy, but happy; that is why they toiled for hours at night, working out lengthy problems in trigonometry until angies danced before their eyes when they tried to sleep and endless chains of logarithms curved themselves through their brain cells.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Capital City Full of Uniforms Without Glitter WASHINGTON.—Washington, in a few central respects, must in these days remind a Civil war veteran of the time when the capital swarmed with the soldiers of the Union. There were certainly never more generals and public institution. Not a sword at a man's side—not a gun on a man's shoulder! Gold lace conspicuous by its absence—from soldiers, though to be sure, the admirals are still permitted to wear it. All the people bustling madly about like a lot of bank messengers or parcel boys, intent upon nothing but business. Instead of soldiers bivouacked on vacant lots, as in the Civil war, Washington is full of great barracklike, temporary buildings, mostly made of some kind of stucco, though some are of wood, within which hundreds of women are writing in a whirling fashion on typewriters. Mixed up with these women are men in these drab suits, either superintending or interfering with their operations. This war, so far as the casual visitor at Washington can observe, is being fought by a woman with a typewriter. All the space that was occupied during the Civil war by the war department and all its officers, clerks and servants would scarcely suffice today for one of the numerous bureaus of the department which were entirely undiscovered in 1865. And consider that in 1861-65 the typewriter did not exist, and that every letter, order, memorandum, record and reference was written by hand! Patron of Sand Art Reminds of Other Pictures Patron of Sand Art Reminds of Other Pictures THERE is one woman in this town for whom Michael Angelo lived in vain. You couldn't call it a personal grudge, seeing she had never heard tell of him until another woman happened to say things about his art—and at ralling with a companion who had kept loving step with her womanhood until they came to a cemetery gate. Then she began to recall past pictures. Here's one: A blue sea billowing into a beach, with two soldiers drawing straight lines on the sand to let the waves know how far they may roll in. His Royal Foolishness, inside the lines, sits in his throne chair to see that the sea obeys his orders, and while he does it the breakers crash in—and in—and in; over the lines, up to the throne chair—as if any Canute that ever lived can hope to own a world that belongs to the people thereof— Here's a better one: A park in Syracuse, with Archimedes on a bench drawing mathematical circles in the sand. You can see that the Roman invader rushing toward him is about to cut him down, and that Archimedes knows it. But there are more important things to be considered. "Don't spoil the circle!" You can hear his warning cry as his blood soaks into the sand, but you know that Archimedes did not die, because he is living now. And will keep on living so long as there is an earth and men on it, with stars above and waters beneath, and— This is the best one of all: Another place of sand—with a white-robed Figure stooping to write a sentence— Changes Wrought in Washington by the War Changes Wrought in Washington by the War PENNSYLVANIA avenue used to be a stately thoroughfare on which you could promenade nonchalantly from the capitol to the White House, viewing at leisure the massive government buildings, the souvenirs in the curio dreamily along in your open barrouche on a Sunday afternoon with an occasional nod to a passing cabinet officer or congressman; now it is a North sea, where on a splendid spring Sabbath is mobilized a fleet of allied "joy wagons" that strive constantly for the same privilege of pursuing the even tenor of their way unmolested. If the city of Washington is ever threatened by an unexpected invasion, as was Paris in the early days of the war, the secretary of war has only to commandeer the motorcars in the District of Columbia as Gallieni mobilized the taxicabs of Paris, and he can rush up troops enough from Camp Meade and Camp Melgs and marines from Quantico, Va., to save the day. What She Thought About the Early Spring Hat SHE looked as if she had stepped out of a fashion sheet into the car. Being a sunshiny day with chill streaks in it, she had combined a fur coat that rippled down to boot tops of gray kid with a hat of glazed gray straw guarded coated in a weave that began somewhere in New England as Persian lamb, voiced criticism with a loudness that showed for excellent lungs. "Well, sir, before I'd wear a light straw hat on a cold day like this, with a fur coat like that, I'd stay home. Don't look worried over it, neither."

A letter recently received in this country from Col. William Hayward, former New York public service commissioner, illustrating the value of entertainment for soldiers, describes the sensation produced in France by a negro band from the United States, whose membership also included musicians from Cuba and Porto Rico. The cost of organizing the band and sending it to France was $10,000, which was paid by Daniel G. Reid. When subscriptions were being raised Mr. Reid was the first man asked to contribute. He asked the total amount required, and when told $10,000, he is said to have remarked: "Till pay the whole check." The band is headed by Lieutenant Europe, who before the war days conducted the orchestra of the Forty-fourth street theater roof. Colonel Hayward in his letter also said: "A lot of things are no fun, and one year ago I would have thought them unendurable. But what heathen we will be when it is all over! I shall not know how to act in polite society or what to do with the ordinary paraphernalia of civilization, like toilets, baths, club chairs. Umbrellas are obsolete. Do they still have them anywhere? Rain means nothing but a little bit—not much—deeper mud. Still nobody has any kick to squeal about, and all hands are so pleased to think they weren't left at home out of this beautiful party that optimism reigns supreme. Of course we know absolutely nothing about the war or how it's going except in our own little neck of the woods, and really don't care. "Our band is the most wonderful thing over here. I don't believe any money ever bought as much pleasure and happiness for human beings as did Daniel G. Reld's in this instance." Mother's Cook Book War-Time Foods. Every woman who is at all patriotic these days is planning, studying and inquiring about foods; how to feed the family well on wholesome food and use the substitutes for flour, meat, fat and sugar that she is expected to provide. Those of us who wish to be on good terms with ourselves must be especially careful to follow our government's requests in regard to food. Barley Muffins. Take one cupful of buttermilk or sour milk, one tablespoonful of sirup, one egg, two tablespoonfuls of corn oil or any other vegetable fat; a teaspoonful of soda, two tablespoonfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of salt, and two cupfuls of sifted barley flour. Bake in well-greased gem pans 25 minutes in a moderate oven. Barley flour makes excellent pastry without the addition of wheat flour. In using barley when baking powder is used, increase the quantity of the baking powder slightly. Potato Yeast Bread. Take three cupfuls of hot mashed potato, firmly packed when measured, two teaspoonfuls each of salt, fat and sugar, a half a yeast cake dissolved in a fourth of a cupful of lukewarm water, and six cupfuls of wheat flour. Put a third of a cupful of hot water with the salt, fat and sugar in a bowl, add the potato, mix well; add the yeast and one cupful of flour; knead or stir in the flour at first, adding one cupful at a time; it will be very stiff at the last, but with good kneading it will be smooth. The second kneading, because of the moisture in the potato, will be soft; add no more flour. When it is light, knead into loaves and when again light, bake in a moderate oven one hour. This makes two loaves of moist palatable bread. And potatoes contain about 80 per cent water, if no water is used, four cupfuls of flour will be sufficient, but it will take patience to knead it, but the results will be good. Oatmeal Bread. Pour a cupful of scalded skim milk and one cupful of water over a cupful of oatmeal; let stand until luke warm; add a tablespoonful of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, a half a yeast cake, and flour to knead. This bread will rise quickly. Mold into loaves and bake in a moderate oven one hour. This makes two loaves. Nessie Maxwell WHEN RUSSIA FAILS Don't Despair! Every cause has a weak member. Every great faith some irresponsible doubt. Every strong law some undisciplined dental. So the world goes on. Finding success through failure. How many times have you failed? Not all of you, part of you. Yet you couldn't stop. Neither can the world at war. Russia is a reminder. Where is our personal organization weak? How much does ignorance hold us back? Are you surrendering confidence to suspicion. Is selfishness blinding us to our whole human duty? Are we bedeviled with "cold feet" and a "hot head?" We say: "Poor Russia, or rotten Russia," according to our sympathy or our prejudice. "We know how Russia feels, because we've known discord and disorder in our own hearts—before the steady mind took firm control. Russia is the world's big example in unfitness. Don't blame Russia, but avoid Russia's misfortune. Let's study Russia and stop whatever in us is Russian disorder. Russia is translating suffering into strength, ignorance into wisdom, vanity into sanity. Probably doing the best she can; blind and broken as she is. It is easy to say: "Take out a czar and put in a man of the people." It is just as easy to say: "Take out a carbuncle of corruption and put in the contentment of perfect health." It is an instant theory; an endless and distressing operation. So the world waits and struggles, cursing or praying over the delay and the disgrace. Russia seems to have been inevitable—a chapter of experience the allied world had to read. Pig Skins, Now Wasted, Good For Shoes, Finest Saddlery, And Fancy Leather Articles There has been an enormous decrease in cattle and hogs in the United States and elsewhere. There are 4,000,000 fewer hogs in this country than there were a year ago. Hogs play a most important part in the present crisis. The losses from cholera have been enormous, and the government is sending hog cholera experts into the states to help in the work of cholera control. There is one source of loss that should be considered, and it does not pertain to disease, writes George H. Glover of the Colorado Agricultural college. Leather is scarce, and in the countries that have been the longest in war, the scarcity of leather is possibly causing the most concern. Pig skins are wasted and they make the finest of leather. It has been tested, and found to be highly satisfactory for shoes and it makes the finest saddle and fancy leather goods. The rind on pork chops is not necessary, in the modern methods of curing meats. It is paid for by the consumer, is a total loss, and is a constant menace because of the fact that uncooked pork rinds in garbage spread hog cholera. Of all the domesticated animals the hog is the most prolific, makes the greatest gains, provides the greatest variety of food products, thrives on the greatest variety of foods and ordinarily gives the quickest returns on the investment. At the present time nothing should be wasted. Why not save the pig skin? Some Postscripts. A small opening in one side of a new tobacco pouch enables pipes to be filled easily without waste. Italy has been gradually increasing its production of lignite until last year more than 1,500,000 tons were mined. Engineers in Norway are planning to consolidate and unite several small waterfalls to obtain 200,000 hydroelectric horsepower in one plant. A paper cap has been invented to be fastened to the end of a cigar as it is made to insure its sanitary condition and also to serve as an advertising band. Half Million for Muskrat Skins. The annual fur auction at St. Louis closed with sales totaling approximately $3,350,000. A lot of 710,000 muskrats brought $500,000. Many of the skins brought $1.50 each, an average price for good pelts being 75 cents. A few years ago muskrats skins sold on the market as low as 5 cents each. A collection of beaver brought $25 per skin and the small lot of marten from Alaska set a record price of $57 each. Extraordinarily high prices paid this year were said to be due to the high quality of furs. More than 350 buyers from all parts of the world attended the sale. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1918. No use to cry over Russia's spilled milk. But very important to prevent a similar catastrophe in our own lives. Russia's deficit changes the world balance. What is our shortage? Russia's wasn't 100 per cent. She's trying mighty hard to get out of the 50-50 class. Realizing the rulous futility of serving a dozen masters, Russia is trying to become master of herself. Can we say as much?—You and I? What is our little pet personal despotism? Have we cast it out, in the name of efficiency and perfect fitness for the world service calling us? Russia is the sore toe of the allied cause. Makes the whole movement of humanity stumble. Has our personal patriotism a sore toe—or a broken arm, or a lost voice? Is our sympathy bandaged over one eye? Is our loyalty punctured? Is our first duty to humanity a victim of prejudice, procrastination or perversity? Russia is an awful warning! The greatest thing in the world today is to be right and ready! That's the least we owe to the Biggest Cause. Be fit to go forward with the true faith. Every man must see his own heart. Every man must put his mind in order to square with the great fact: a kaiserless world. Russia has shown us the way, by falling down in it. Today is the day our own soul must decide! Not half way. Not roundabout. Not by compromise or contradiction. Not by secret treaties with our personal despot. Not by any style of self-camouflage. Today—We must go the whole way! Give up all to win all! Call it the Day of Consecration—and remember Russia! JUST TO LAUGH Undisturbed. "We must learn to pay no attention to life's annoyances." "That's what I'm doing. I've gotten so that the alarm clock can ring every morning without my noticing it." That's True. "There is one thing in nature which human enterprise has never yet utilized." "What is that?" "The hoarse power of a cold." "There is one thing in nature which human enterprise has never utilized." "What is that?" "The hoarse power of a cold." Determination "Yes. The dear girl is a perfect martyr. The fact that she toes in besides being a trifle bow-legged doesn't prevent her from wearing her skirts just as short as anybody's." The Trimmings. A peroxide-wigged manicure turned her "Anna Held" eyes on the patron before her and asked: "Shall I trim you close?" He smiled back and said: "Well, you might leave me enough for carfare home." Agreement. "Do your constituents a gr ee with you?" A "I hadn't thought about that," replied Senator Sorghum. "But I am mighty careful to agree with them." Divided Authority. "Who is really boss in your home?" inquired the abrupt person. "Well," replied Mr. Meekton. "Of course, Henrietta assumes command of the pug dog and the canary. But I can say pretty much what I like to the goldfish." Layout for Vegetable Garden; Provides for Family of Five. Here is an estimate for the layout of a vegetable garden to feed a family of five, requiring a piece of ground between one-third and one-half an acre: Tomatoes, 24 plants; peppers and eggplants, 12 each; summer squashes, 5 hills; winter squashes, cucumbers, muskmelons, 6 hills each; watermelons, 3 hills; pole limas, 12 hills. Other vegetables in lineal feet: Radishes, 10; lettuce, 20; peas, 100; string beans, 100; dwarf limas, 50; sweet corn, 400; chard and kale, for family use, 50 each; early potatoes, 100; late potatoes, 600; cabbage, 150; cauliflower, 50; onions, beets and carrots, 200 each; celery, 100; parsnips, 125; rutabagas, 75; salisfy, 100. For chicken feed: Sunflower, 100; chard and kale, 150 each; mangle-wurzel, 200; field corn in rest of available space—Country Gentleman. WHAT CAN WE DO? FOR SLENDER LITTLE GIRLS A --- War Savings and Thrift Stamps. During the month of February the receipts coming into the treasury department through the sale of War Savings and Thrift stamps totaled $41,000,000. It is reported that they average now about $2,000,000 a day. Returns from the same source in England were $87,000,000. The War Savings and Thrift stamps give everyone a chance to be "in" on the great business of winning the war. They are a fine investment and within the reach of everyone. Congress set $2,000,000,000 as the amount to be raised by this means for the year. If this amount is reached it will cover the entire cost of the government's shipbuilding program for the year. It has now from this source enough revenue daily to build 10,000 tons of shipping and altogether has received to date funds for building 420,000 tons, or 84 ships of 5,000 tons each. Our strength in this war has not made itself felt yet as it will be felt. Great reserves of it will be forthcoming. We have hardly felt the pinch of the war yet. In the War Savings and Thrift stamps we have an opportunity to all take a hand in building ships, and they must be built. Besides this the Thrift stamps are educating people, especially young people and children, to save and to use money for investment instead FOR SLEN LITT For the occasions that require her to dress-up a bit there are pretty frocks of crepe georgette and volle that will make the little girl look her best this summer. From her eighth to her fourteenth or fifteenth year she is apt to be a very slim, long limbed little person with a good many angles that are prominent and need to be well considered when it comes to choosing her clothes. Since there are designers who specialize in clothes for children the needs of the thin little girl and the needs of the fat little girl have been given expert attention—and the problems of distraught mothers solved for them. Here is a dress of fine veille shown on a slim little girl of eleven that will bear study. It is in two pieces—a skirt and a long blouse, thereby disposing once for all of that bugbear in children's clothes—the waistline—by leaving it out of the reckoning. The skirt is suspended from a short underbodice, gathered on to it and fastened in the back. It is moderately full and has a two-inch tuck above the Jacketa and Skirta. That jackets will be short rather than long seems to be a foregone conclusion, judging by the South-wear fashions, and etons and boleros are decidedly in evidence. Not only suits but dresses, too, are seen in these eton and bolero styles, and very smart and youthful are these effects worn over blouses of crepe organdle. Jacket and coat sleeves are narrow and close-fitting and in wrist length; skirts, too, are modeled with conservation of material very much in mind, for they are cut decidedly narrow and fairly short, though not as short as some fashionable skirts of last season. The average width of modish skirts is about one and one-half yards around and the length from four to six inches off the ground. --- of spending it for things they do not really need. Lack of thrift, in this direction, seemed to be almost a universal falling before the war. Accumulating Thrift stamps is likely to establish the habit of saving in young people and children. Work Which Only Women Can Do. Whatever our other activities, we must "go on with our knitting," in a very literal sense. Sox, sweaters, wristlets, and bands and then more sox will be needed in far greater numbers than ever before. Surgical dressing and bandages, also, must be supplied by the shipload, and food must be conserved. In these affairs the world leans on women for support. But if each woman gives a little time systematically to Red Cross work and looks after the conservation of food in her own home, the great total of achievement will do the work and fill needs depending on us. Our part is easy compared to that of the soldiers and sailors. It is amazing that there are women, with time and means at their disposal, who, because they have no relatives in the army or navy, are taking no interest, much less any active part in the work to be done. They are not worth fighting for, and should be held up to the scorn they deserve. Now is the time when cold selfishness will betray itself. NDER TLE GIRLS three-inch hem. These give it a little weight and flare at the bottom where it is precisely even in length and reaches to the knees. It is the blouse that reveals the cleverness of its designer. Its body hangs from a very short yoke, gathered quite full over the shoulders. The body of the blouse is smocked in three rows of smocking where it joins the shirred yoke. It is usual this season to use one or more colored silks in doing the smocking on white frocks and these little bits of color are very childish and pretty on dresses for all little girls. There are two pockets at the bottom of the blouse with smocking across the top and buttons that repeat the color used in the smocking. They are set on purely as a finish for the blouse fastens with snap fasteners. The collar which is of wash satin is like them in color and the sleeves are plain—three-quarter length. Georgette Bloeses Trimmed in Val. "If you haven't seen the new blouses of crepe georgette, trimmed in val lace, you are missing something," said a blouse buyer who has just returned from the Eastern markets. "They are very enticing, and are shown in regular, as well as slip-over style." According to this same authority, the rage for filet, both real and imitation, continues, and some pretty models are slip-overs with sailor collars trimmed in filet. Some of the new georgettes have little collars of white mousselline de sole, which launers very satisfactorily. The freshest, prettiest of the new blouses are of net, in white and light shades. Batiste and volle are very popular for the high-necked ones, of which there are a great many shown. DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER WILD MISS LIONESS. "Ah, my mane, my mane," said Mr Llon, roaring in rather a low voice for KT "Your mane, you mane," sneered Miss Lioness. "What are you behaving so foolishly for over your mane?" "What, indeed?" asked Mr. Lion. "You can't understand, nor can you appreciate what it is to have a mane You're jealous of it, and you're jealous of me." "They Bore Me You're jealous of it, and you're jealous of me." "Nothing of the sort!" roared Miss Lioness. "I'm not jealous of your foolish man. Do you suppose indies who come to the zoo are jealous of their husbands who may wear beards? Certainly not; they wouldn't wear beards if they could." "How do you know?" asked Mr. Lion. "Did you ever ask them?" "No, I didn't," said Miss Lioness. "I wouldn't insult them by asking such a question. It's just as insulting as when you ask me if I'm not jealous of your mane. And now that I come to think of it, you didn't even ask me if I felt jealous of it. You simply said that I was jealous of it! That was most annoying and extremely rude of you!" Miss Lioness looked very angry. "Maybe what you say is true," said Mr. Lion, "but still I can't help believing that you must be jealous of my mane. Think how long it took to be perfect—not until I was a full-grown lion. Then my mane became quite perfect. And that is how it is now. I am of age and my mane is perfect." "You're conceited, that's sure enough," said Miss Lioness. "Well, you must be pretty conceited yourself, or you'd be unhappy because you haven't a mane." "I don't understand what you are talking about," said Miss Lioness. "I'll tell you, then," said Mr. Lion. "I must be patient with you, for I am a lion when you are only a lioness—not nearly so fine." But Miss Lioness looked so wild at that speech that Mr. Lion said: "Don't fuss and fume so. I'll tell you what I meant. In the first place you must be conceited and proud of yourself to be quite satisfied without having a mane. You must think a great deal of yourself. And in the second place, if you were not so conceited you'd be unhappy because you'd miss having a beautiful mane. "Too absurd," said Miss Lioness. "Then you think it would be nice if I were unhappy?" "Oh, no," said Mr. Lion. "I didn't mean to say that." "But you practically did say it," Miss Lioness roared. "You are very ridiculous. You show by your roaring and your silly vain speeches that you're but a bison and that I am the great and powerful lioness." "You're not so very great and powerful if you won't dare ask the ladies if they're not unhappy without beards. You're afraid of them." "Afraid of them! Afraid of them!" roared Miss Lioness. And from far and near people wondered what could be the matter with the angry lioness. They didn't dare get too near her cage—they were almost afraid she could draw them in by her angry eyes and her big jaws and roaring voice. "Afraid of them!" repeated Miss Lioness. "The idea of saying such a Lioness. "The idie thing. I hate people. They bore me looking at me as if I were some sort of a sight." B7 "Then you admit," said Mr. Lion delightedly, "that you're not much to look at." "I said nothing of the sort," said Miss Lioness. "I am not a curious sight—that's what I meant. But I am a handsome sight. am not a curious "I Am of Age and sight—that's what My Mane Is Perfect." I meant. But I am a handsome sight. And I'm wild, wild. There is nothing sweet and gentle about me. Why, a manne would be too childish for me to have. My eyes, my great, angry eyes are enough." "It's true you are wild," agreed Mr. Lion. "It doesn't seem to matter whether you're in the jungle or the zoo—the lionesses are always far wilder than we brave lions are." "That's so," roared Miss Lioness, who was somewhat pleased now. "But you're wild, too, Mr. Lion," she said, as if she were paying him a great compliment, "for you've been named the King of Beasts—the Royal Family of animals." A Public Service. Cheerfulness is always commendable, but it is never rated so much above par as when circumstances are difficult. In these trying, anxious times the girl who goes about with a sunny face, wearing "the smile that won't come off" is doing a great service to a troubled world. Tale of the Pancake. Little three-year-old Clarence stood waching his mother baking pancakes. After a few moments of silent observation he said: "Put on back, turn over on tummie, then eat." SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1818, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR APRIL 28 JESUS REBUKES SELFISHNESS.

Jesus with his disciples is on his way to Capernaum for the last time. He is soon to leave for Jerusalem, where he is to die on the cruel cross for the world's sins. He still seeks the way of retirement in order to be alone with his disciples, his object being to lead them into the apprehension of the meaning of the cross. The teaching which was interrupted at Caeserea by Peter's rebuke is now resumed, and with definiteness he declares the future event as already present. 1. "The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men." 2. "They shall kill him." 3. "He shall rise the third day." While pressing upon them continuously the fact and necessity of the cross, he never failed to show them the bright side—his triumphant victory over death in the resurrection. The hearts of the disciples were so steeped in selfishness that they failed to understand his teachings. If the disciples had more definitely attended to his teaching concerning the cross, they would have been better prepared for the hour of temptation which was so soon to overtake them. II. The Wrangling of Selfishness (vv. 33-37). 1. The searching question (v. 33). The omniscient Christ knew the secrets of their hearts. The fact that the disciples were wrangling about official position while the Lord was facing humiliation and death for them and the whole world, shows how completely the Lord was alone in his sorrow. 2. The silent disciples (v. 34). They were ashamed in his presence, because the selfishness of their hearts was revealed. To realize the presence of the Lord would shame us of much of our selfishness. 3. The stinging rebue (vv. 35-31). "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all." The greatest among men are those who are willing to take the lowest place and serve others. This truth he enforced in a concrete way by placing a child in their midst. This child was an illustration of dependence and ignorance. By example and word he shows that true greatness is expressed by willingness to aid the weak, to instruct the ignorant and to serve those in need. All such render service not merely to those in need, but unto Christ and God. True greatness, therefore, consists not in selfseeking, but rendering cheerful service to the neody in the name of Christ. III. The Intolerance of Selfishness (vv. 38-41). 1. John's guilty conscience (v. 38). In the light of the teaching of Jesus, John was a little disturbed over having "forbid" a worker for Christ who did not follow after him. Doubtless this intolerance was in part due to jealousy for Christ, but also a selfish ambition. Many times Christians mistake bigotry for zeal for Christ. 2. Whom to tolerate (vv. 39-41). (1) Those who are casting out devils (v. 39). We should really satisfy ourselves that supernatural works are being done. Are demons being cast out? However, this is not final, as there is a supernatural work not of God. (2) Those who are not doing this work in Christ's name (v. 41). Any worker going forth in the name of Christ, and for the glory of Christ, should be given Godspeed. If he is doing a good work, even though not in your way, or if not a member of your church or church, "Forbid him not." IV. The Awful Issue of Selfishness. (vv. 42-50). Selfishness results in ruin to others (v. 42), and also to the individual (vv. 43, 45 and 47). In either case the issue is eternal torment in hell. Selfishness is opposed to God, and that which is opposed to God must be eternally separated from him. Self-renunciation should be so complete that we should be willing to abandon the most necessary and lawful things in life—hands, feet and eyes—when they become occasions for stumbling either to ourselves or to others. Need of Influence "Every one of us needs influence and some impulse outside of ourselves to compel us to strive for our ideals. The best impulse that can uplift the life is the friendship of Jesus. He says: 'Ye are as friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.'" God's Presence Did it ever occur to you that the signs of God's presence are granted to the farmer more than any other man?
