Bell Phone 999 and 2789 VOLUME X. NUMBER 36. EMME Grand Chancellor the Knights of P sas City on his A Visit Subordinate Lodges Repor Throughout the Jurisdict Numerical Increase i $7,000.00 Invested in Hon. A. W. Lloyd of St. Louis, Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the State of Missouri, arrived in Kansas City Wednesday, having just met the Third Quarterly meeting of the Beneficiary Board, which met in Sedalia on the 26th. At this recent meeting of the Board of which, by the way, Mr. Lloyd is president, twenty-one death claims from the different subordinate lodges of the state were presented, acted upon and settled at once. Mr. Lloyd seems much more interested in the advancement and progress of the Pythian Order than ever in the history of his administration as Grand Chancellor (if that could be possible). The members of the Beneficiary Board were royally entertained during their stay in Sedalia by the Knights of Pythias there. The lodges in the State of Missouri are in every respect in better numerical and financial condition than ever before in the history of the Order; and too much credit cannot be given Grand Chancellor Lloyd for his untiring efforts and tenacious manner of pushing forward to reach his coveted goal—success. The setting up of a new lodge in St. Louis, his headquarters, only recently with eighty charter members is NEGROES IN FRANCE It is estimated that there are now fully 25,000 Colored men in France with the American army. Among the Colored regiments there are the 15th New York, the 8th Illinois and the 372d, the latter being made up in part of the 9th Ohio Battalion, the 1st Separate Battalion of Washington, D.C., and militia companies from Maryland, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. To these 10,000 fighting men can be added, perhaps, fully that number of non-combatants, stevedores, etc. In addition there are many Colored Americans "over there," fighting with the Canadian troops. "The Black Phalanx" will soon be heard from displaying the traditional heroism of black troops in battle. The Irish with representation in the English parliament, fighting against conscription and the American Negro without representation in congress yet waiving even every right to exemption in his eagerness to fight for his country ought to impress the government of the United States with some idea of the value of its black citizenry. G. H. P. McCAMPBELL SCORES. Grand High Priest T. G. McCampbell is not only doing a remarkable work for the higher degrees of Masonry in this Jurisdiction but he is doing a splendid work for the Christian religion as well. On last week he went to Maryville, Mo., and established a new Chapter and Commandery of 16 men on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday morning he preached a soul stirring sermon at the A. M. E. Church and secured one conversion. One of the men who had been initiated into the Chapter the night before. Again Sunday night he preached by special request to a crowded house at the same place, and four splendid young men made a decision for Christ and united with the Church. He was accompanied by Past Grand Master Nelson C. Crews. The Kansas City Sun Group of Lincoln High School Girls in Gymnasium exercises—will be seen at Convention Hall at the Big Annual Entertainment, May 10. a fine demonstration of his aim and ability to always succeed and retain the Pythian high standard and future possibilities. This makes the twenty-first lodge of the Order in the city of St. Louis. Another fine and very conclusive demonstration of the Grand Chancellor's efforts was his encouragement to our people to invest largely in the Liberty Loan campaign recently launched, the result of which was an overwhelming success. The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias alone purchased $7,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, viz., $4,000 in our own Kansas City, $2,000 worth in Columbia and $1,000 in St. Louis. Mr. Lloyd while in this city expects to visit the eleven subordinate lodges and as many of the sixteen subordinate courts as will be possible for him so to do, as well as the five Uniform Rank companies and the ten Juvenile Departments, for the purpose of furthering the interest in the increased state wide membership campaign which is being launched throughout the Jurisdiction. A representative of The Sun interviewed Mr. Lloyd upon the condition of the Order throughout the state and was informed that conditions in every respect were never better in its history. GIRL BELLHOPS St. Louis, Mo.—The Hamilton Hotel, Hamilton and Maple avenues, has been forced to dispense with the services of white boys as "bellhops" and has Colored girls to act in this capacity. This is the first time in the history of the city that white boys have been replaced by the girls of our race. Since the United States entered the war many of the large hotels have employed women and girls as elevator operators and starters, but the Hamilton hotel is the first resort to employ girls as "bellhops." The hotel management says it became almost impossible to get white boys. So far the service of girls have proved entirely satisfactory. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1918. HEROES ON WRECKED STEAMER. A Negro Fireman on City of Athens Saved Several Lives. An Atlantic Port, May 2.—Survivors of the coastwise steamer City of Athens, which was sunk in a collision with a French cruiser in a fog off the Delaware coast yesterday morning with a loss of sixty-six persons, related here today many tales of heroism on the part of the crews of the two vessels. All praised the efforts of the French sailors especially, who launched small boats within a few minutes after the accident and aided by the cruiser's searchlights, picked up many of the survivors from pieces of wreckage. The survivors agreed that the speedy sinking of the steamer—within five minutes after being rammed by the warship—was responsible for the heavy toll of life, although some claimed that the City of Athens life-saving apparatus failed to work properly. There were 135 persons, including twenty-four United States marines, on board the steamer, which was bound from New York to Savannah with a 2 million dollar cargo of cement rope, foodstuffs and general merchandise on board. Mrs. Florence Pickhard Harrison, wife of a New York real estate agent, whose father, Winchell L. Pickhard, is president of Mercer University, Macon, Ga., told today how her life, that of her 2-year-old baby and two others were saved through the bravery of a Negro fireman on the City of Athens. Awakened from her sleep, Mrs. Harrison barely had time to put a coat over her night dress and hurry to the deck with her child. I saw a lifeboat," she said, "but no one was paying any attention to it except a United States marine, who lifted the baby into the boat. I was about to climb in with his aid when the steamer toppled and my grasp on the gunwale slipped. I caught up the baby and the ship sank under the swirling waters. When I came up choking and almost unconscious from the water with the little one in my arms, we were directly under the bow of a lifeboat. "A man, whom I afterward learned was James Wallace of Savannah, lifted the baby from my arms. When I regained consciousness I found myself in the lifeboat covered with a piece of canvas, which I wrapped around the baby. My coat and nightgown were torn from the struggle to drag me in. After that Mr. Wallace rescued one marine and a civilian. That brave Negro deserves a hero's medal. "We were in the lifeboat for about two hours before we were picked up by the crew of the French cruiser. I cannot speak too highly of the gallantry and kindness of the French officers and men during our rescue and the time spent on the cruiser."—Thursday's Star.

New Era Will Dawn in Which Negro Will Get Square Deal. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to Secretary of War Baker, who has visited ten of the army camps and has made a close study of the Colored troops in training for service "over there," said in his recent address at Hampton Institute: "Eighty-three thousand and more Colored men are in the camps, under the guidance of black men and under the guidance of white men as well. "We can see, little by little, how they are responding, just as the boys respond at Hampton to the semi-military training they receive, how their shoulders are going back, and how they are learning the hardest of all lessons—the lesson of obedience. "In these camps there is a most eager enthusiasm and over-joy usness almost, I might say, to serve their country. "At least it can be said of us that there is not the slightest suspicion whatever as to whether there are any hyphenates among us. "It has been true everywhere that there has mounted higher and higher, a patriotism in the breasts of white men and a patriotism as well as in the breasts of Colored men. "Colored mothers and Colored fathers have sent their sons off, feeling, as the woman felt to whom Lincoln wrote, that they were not making a sacrifice at all, but rather that they were embracing a rare privilege of serving their country. "Black men everywhere are loyal and patriotic and eager to serve their country. They are asking but one thing of their country—that a square deal and fair play shall be vouchsafed to them. "There sits in the War Department a man, small of stature though he be, of large and commanding intellect and with a courage surpassing the courage of almost any man I know, who was not afraid to undertake the experiment of a training camp for Colored men and was not afraid to call Colored men to arms. "I think I can speak advisedly when I say that this man is determined that a man who is willing to lay his life on the altar of his country is worthy of being promised and having vouchsafed to him the same promise and the same reward that is vouchsafed to every other man who is willing to lay down his life for his country. I know that is the spirit of the CLOSING EXERCISE AT WESTERN UNI BEGINNING MAY 6TH AND EXTENDS 16, 1918. Monday, May 6, 8 P. M.—Voice Recital. Tuesday, May 7, 8 P. M.—Orchestra Recital.

A Mexican by the name of Eliseo Torrez at 1920 Grove street, rear, was arrested by Officer Walter Howard on a charge of enticing two little Colored girls, one 11 and one 13, to his room where they were detained two days. He is no win the county jail awaiting trial, and if guilty as alleged, should receive the extreme penalty of the law. War Department and I know that that is the spirit of the President of the United States. "In a very real sense we are citizens of this republic. No one can make me feel, as we go out in this great international conflict to make the world safe for democracy and to make democracy safe for the world, that within the triumphant folds of democracy, when it has been achieved for the men of Servia and Rumania, France, Russia and England, and even for the men of Germany, there are not also to be included the men of America—the black no less than the white."

A white sauce with fish, flesh or fowl or almost any vegetable, cold cooked eggs or macaroni will make a good main dish. A omelet is always welcome and the housewife who keeps herself well supplied with eggs need not worry if she knows how to prepare a fluffy, tasty omelet. A half a cupful of rice may be browned in a little butter, then water added to cook it, and when tender strir in two or three eggs with a little milk or cream with seasonings. This will taste like scrambled eggs with use of half the number. For dessert one may always call upon the preserve closet, and with a cracker or small sponge cake or piece of fruit cake with a hot drink, the dessert is easy. If a stale cake is in one's possession, steam it and make a sauce of a cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of flour well blended, and just enough boiling water to cook the mixture until smooth, then add a nice lump of butter, a grating of nutmeg, and a tablespoonful or two of good vinegar, with a pinch of salt. Serve the sauce hot as well as the steamed cake. Another quick dessert is called "Fifteen Minute Pudding," and is one every housewife should know how to prepare. Take a cupful of flour, sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder, a little salt and a cup of milk. Put into greased cups with a layer of any juicy fruit like cherries in between the spoonfuls of batter. Steam 15 minutes in a dish of boiling water. Serve with cream.

SAVORY, SATISFYING DISHES. The conscientious housewife who is trying to fulfill the requirements of her food pledge is often much puzzled to plan a well-balanced meal. Spring Soup.—Peel and thinly slice one onion and cook in a tablespoonful of butter for five minutes, stirring constantly, then add four cupfuls of chicken broth, with one cupful of stale bread crumbs. Bring to the boiling point and let simmer 45 minutes, then rub through a sieve and add a cupful of milk. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two of flour and stir until well blended, then pour on gradually while stirring constantly the boiling hot stock. Add a cupful of cream or a beaten egg with a cupful of milk. Season well with salt and pepper and serve piping hot. Oatmeal Scrapple.—Boll two pounds of flank steak until tender, put it through a meat grinder. To the liquor of the beef add a pint of oatmeal, boll for half an hour, then mix with the meat, season with pepper and salt, and mold in a bread pan. Fry the slices in hot fat until deep brown. Prune Ice Cream.—Soak a cupful of prunes in water to cover overnight. Cook in the same water until tender, remove the stones and put the pulp through a strainer. Add a cupful of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and $1\frac{1}{4}$ cupfuls of cream. Freeze and serve garnished with nut meats. The juice of two oranges may be used in place of the lemons, making a pleasing variety. Creamed Sardines.—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter, add one-fourth of a cupful of soft bread crumbs, add one cupful of cream and bring to the boiling point; add one box of sardines, two cooked eggs finely chopped, one-half teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of paprika. Reheat and serve on narrow strips of buttered toast. Doughnuts that have become dry may be dipped in cold water and reheated in the oven, making them quite palatable.

The combination of light green found in the cucumber, and the rich red of the ripe tomato makes a said most alluring. Small tomatoes may be peeled and cut in the form of a tullip with a bit of yellow mayonnaise for the center; placed on head lettuce, they look like a flower. A pretty way to serve cucumber is to peel it, then pare in rounds as one does an apple, keeping the pieces as long as possible. Wind in rose shape, place a spoonful of mayonnaise in the center and if placed on lettuce or a slice of tomato will prove both pleasing to the eye and the palate. Chopped cucumber with onion used as a filling for tomato cups, the filling mixed with a good boiled dressing or any kind of oil dressing, is another good combination well liked. Green Pepper With Cheese.—Cut green peppers in halves, removing the seeds and white pulp, then fill with highly seasoned cream cheese which has been softened with cream; a few chopped chives may be added. The peppers are set away to chill, and when ready to serve cut them in slices. The slice will have a ring of the pretty green or red of the pepper around the cheese. Tomato and Pineapple Salad.—Peel shapely small tomatoes and cut in eighths, keeping it together at the blossom end. Open out like a flower and fill the center with chopped pineapple and celery and dot with a spoonful of yellow mayonnaise just before serving. Slices of radish with slices of onion of the same size in overlapping slices make a pretty garnish for a plain lettuce or head lettuce salad. Head Lettuce With Peanuts—Take a half cupful of nice fresh peanuts, roll with the rolling pin until crushed like crumbs. Sprinkle these over head lettuce that has been dressed with a highly seasoned French dressing with a tablespoonful of onion added to it. She dresses aye aye clean and neat, Baith decent and genteel. And then there's something in her gait Makes any dress look weel. Pastry may be made by using barley flour without any wheat flour. Proceed as with any pastry. The mixture will be a little more difficult to handle, but it makes very good pastry. Baking powder biscuit may also be made, using barley flour pastry. The mixture will be a little more difficult to handle, but it makes very good pastry. Baking powder biscuit may also be made, using barley flour exclusively, with a little larger proportion of baking powder. Molasses Cookies—Take a half-cupful each of sugar, molasses and vegetable fat, melt and mix together; cool; add one cupful of sour or butter milk, one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour, one cupful of barley flour, a teaspoonful each of soda, baking powder, ginger, allspice, cloves and salt. Mix well and set in the ice box until stiff and cold. Roll out quickly and cut before the mixture becomes too soft to handle. Camp Pudding—Put a pint of stale bread crumbs with a pint of milk in a saucepan to soak for half an hour; add a half-cupful of honey, one egg well beaten, a few gratings of nutmeg; mix well and bake until the pudding is set in the center. Serve hot with honey or maple sirup. Oatmeal Sweetbits—Cream one cupful of sugar with a teaspoonful of fat; add the yolks of two eggs well beaten, two and one-half cupfuls of rolled oats mixed with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and when well blended fold in the well-beaten whites of the eggs with a teaspoonful of vanilla. Drop on a baking sheet with a teaspoon and bake in a slow oven, allowing plenty of room for the cakes to spread. Potato Coffee Cake—Take two cupfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of fat, one-third of a cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt, a fourth of a cupful of skim milk, a half yeast cake and cinnamon or grated lemon peel for flavoring. Melted fat and sugar with a few chopped nuts may be usd to spread over the top just before baking. SHORT NOTICE DISHES.

Our duty of helping to feed our fighting friends being paramount, that of protecting and defending the food supplies we produce is as essential as their production. As a matter of fact, incurring the expense of producing crops and then letting them fall a prey to our insect enemies is worse than not producing them at all, and the official entomologists of the different states are being mobilized for special service in crop protection. These men are but a handful, however—not enough for an efficient patrol—and so they are calling upon the people for such assistance as they can easily give by keeping watch for the common enemy and reporting the first traces of his appearance in numbers sufficient to threaten serious injury. What these field insects are capable of in the way of crop destruction is fairly well known, and what the farmer may do for the protection of his crops can best be intrusted to the hands of various state entomologists, whose business it is by bomb, gas and other means to kill these allies of the foe. Consider two fields of corn, both lying next to heavily infested fields of wheat. One is protected by a circle of oil about its borders. The other is unprotected. The unprotected corn is entered by the insects without hindrance as the ripening of the wheat deprives them of food, and a large part of the corn is destroyed, as shown by the part of the field laid bare next to the wheat. In the other field not a hill of corn is hurt. The road oil poured upon the ground in a line between it and the infested wheat catches the bugs which seek to pass. Millions Lost In Small Area. By a somewhat general use of such methods and similar materials in twenty-five southwestern counties of a middle Western state where, during a clinch bug uprising last summer, more than 1,500 miles of barrier were laid down between corn and infested wheat, $1,000,000 worth of corn was saved from destruction at a total cost to the owners of less than $50,000 and of some $10,000 to the state. On the other hand, wheat, oats and corn worth at least $13,000,000 more were lost during the same period for lack of sufficiently general and thoroughgoing action. Owing to a consequent scarcity of feed many farmers were unable to keep up their stock, and in four infested counties, selected as a sample district for study in comparison with another group of counties not infested, the number of dairy cows fell off in four years 7.4 per cent; beef cattle, 21.5 per cent; hogs, 15 per cent; and horses, 27 per cent. The total sum of this reduction in numbers of the live stock of the four sample counties, due solely to the presence of the clinch bug, was $1,053,318. Trade, banking, education, professional incomes and every kind of business and civic interest naturally suffered from this staggering blow to the agriculture of the region. Greatest Damage to Corn. The clinch bug does greatest damage to corn.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1918 German Allies in American Fields Ravages of Cinch Bug shown. Plant at left not attacked; plant at right attacked. By ROBERT H. MOULTON. HAT the United States is already invaded, not by Germans, it is true, but by their effective allies, and that a great host of these are intrenched in the grain fields is an assertion hard to believe at Greatest Damage to Corn. Hessian Fly, Cinch Bug and Army Worm Ready For Offensive A man kneeling in a field, pulling a horse. Digging ditch to trap marching army worms. Pests crushed by dragging log back and forth through ditch. Inch in length, and usually bears conspicuous white wings folded over its back. The young ones are bright red and wingless. The old bugs live over the winter hidden among clumps of wild grasses, especially those known as the "broom sedges," which grow abundantly in uncultivated places throughout the greater portion of the main wheat belt of the United States. It is the usual habit of the clinch bug first to attack fields of wheat, rye, or barley, and its presence often is unnoticed because the injuries inflicted upon these crops are obscure or of no apparent importance. About harvest time the bugs leave the small grains and crawl over the surface of the ground to the nearest fields of corn, where they begin at once to wreak severe injury. also be taken that the sowing of in the fall is delayed until the fl date, information regarding which can be obtained by applying to county agricultural agents or sta perimental stations.

Daily Action Is Necessary The army worm, known as a p the farmer from early colonial and the locusts or grasshoppers multiply under favorable condition numbers sufficient to devour areas of both grain and forage. Both may be killed easily if att in time by sowing broadcast Corn fields may be protected and the migrating bugs trapped about the time of wheat harvest by plowing a deep furrow along the edge of the field, running the land side of the plow toward the field to be protected. In dry weather the side of the furrow can be made so smooth and the sides so steep that the bugs will find it easier to crawl along the bottom than to climb up the sides. Circular holes from 30 to 40 feet apart, made with a post-hole digger, then may be dug in the bottom of the trench. Into these holes the bugs will fall in large numbers, and here they may be killed easily by sprinkling kerosene oil over them. In wet weather a line of liquid tur or crude petroleum, which the bugs will not cross, may be maintained in the furrow bottom. Hessian Fly Is Old Foe. Another notorious insect whose function it is, in the order of nature, to take bread out of our mouths is the Hessian fly, so called because Hessian soldiers, hired from their sovereign by King George III, were believed to have brought it over from Europe during the revolutionary war. This pest gives its attention almost wholly to wheat, upon which it levies an average annual tax of approximately 10 per cent. Experts figure that sixty million bushels was the shortage in the 1917 wheat crop of the country which may be charged up to this insect. And its members, increasing year by year, have deterred many farmers from sowing wheat, notwithstanding the rapidly rising market prices. The Hessian fly is a minute mosquitolike fly which lays its eggs upon the leaves of wheat. These eggs hatch into little maggots which crawl down into the leaf sheaths. There they live upon the plant's sap which they obtain by gnawing into the soft portions of the stem. Usually two, but sometimes three or more, generations of the insect occur during a year. After the Hessian fly has once thoroughly infested the crop of wheat there is no known means of saving it, and the only known means of preventing damage from the fly is to keep it out of the wheat. The remedies for the Hessian fly are, therefore, entirely preventive. One is to plow down the wheat stubble immediately after harvest in order to destroy the maggots which remain in it. This is for the protection of future crops. Another is to pay great attention to the preparation of the seedbed for the wheat by blowing early and working and packing the soil thoroughly in order to eliminate lumps and clods, thus producing a finely pulverized, compact, and moisture-conserving bed for the seed. Care should announce the appearance of certain stars in each of the constellations as they appeared above the horizon. As there are twelve of these constellations from which the zodiacal signs take their names, it can readily be seen that each twelfth part of the starry host passed over the horizon every two hours. Now let us consider the ancient observer as he sits in his tower with his face to the east. The sun had set, and darkness is coming on. Low in the eastern sky he also be taken that the sowing of wheat in the fall is delayed until the fly-free date, information regarding which date can be obtained by applying to local county agricultural agents or state experimental stations. Finally, a good rotation of crops should be practiced wherever possible, and the co-operation of the entire community secured in following these preventive measures. Daily Action Is Necessary. The army worm, known as a pest of the farmer from early colonial times, and the locusts or grasshoppers often multiply under favorable conditions to numbers sufficient to devour great areas of both grain and forage crops. Both may be killed easily if attacked in time by sowing broadcast among them a poisoned food which they prefer to the grain and grass plants on which they naturally feed. But this method requires, as a rule, early notice of the impending calamity, prompt organization of the communities concerned for self-defense and general arrangements for the quick supply of all the necessary materials in wholesale quantities—all measures for which careful preparation must be made in advance. In case the worms are not discovered until they have begun to travel in a mass, usually they can be destroyed by burrowing or ditching completely around the infested area. The worms will fall into the ditches and can be killed easily by crushing them with a log—hitched to a horse or mule—dragged back and forth through the ditch or furrow. Another method is to dig shallow postholes in the bottom of the ditch at intervals of about 20 feet, into which the worms, crawling along the ditch bottoms, will fall. They can then be destroyed by crushing or other means. Fighting the Cutworm. The cutworm injury, which usually consists in the cutting off the plants at or a little below the surface of the ground, almost invariably occurs in the spring, beginning as soon as the first plants sprout and continuing until late June or early July, by which time the worms are full grown. The worms feed at night and rest during the day beneath debris or in the soil from one-half to one inch below the surface, and since in most cases they resemble the soil closely in color the cause of the injury often is not apparent. Polished baits are effective when cutworms are found to be abundant on corn land, but proper rotation of crops is the best preventive measure. Pasturing hogs upon land supposed to harbor cutworms is a beneficial practice, as these animals root up and devour insects of many kinds, including cutworms, in large numbers. Farm poultry, allowed to follow the plow, is also of great value. A billion dollars a year on the average is sacrificed to insects in the United States, according to careful computations and estimates made by the experts of the national department of agriculture. It is a prize worth fighting for, especially in these times of threatened scarcity of food. But individual guerrilla fighting to which this interest has been left in the past will no longer suffice—has never sufficed, in fact. Carefully planned campaigns by organized communities, participated in by everyone so situated as to be available, directed by experts and financed so far as necessary by the state, are the only means to success. sees a brilliant star which he recognizes as belonging to one of the original groups. He calls the time indicated by the appearance of this star and then at intervals announces the hour of night by the appearance of other stars on the horizon. This ancient custom persisted through long ages. Even after the invention of clocks and watches old communities in Europe and the United States employed watchmen whose duty it was to make the rounds and call the hours of night. Are Economizing On Dressmaking New York.—A man who likes statistics has given out a statement that more spools of thread have been sold since America went into war than ever before in its history. This is taken to indicate that there is an important revival of home dressmaking. It is difficult to prove this condition of affairs, a prominent fashion correspondent writes, but the spools of thread are good enough evidence that the women on this continent are employing semnstresses to make new gowns for them or to alter old ones. And they are also doing their own sewing. On the other hand, the shops insist that the sale of ready-to-wear garments has been immensely stimulated by the war. Women who are giving their time to war relief work are willing and anxious to get costumes with the least possible expenditure of vitality to themselves, and this can be achieved through the ready-to-wear departments. Those who keep shops also claim that women of small means are buying better materials and paying more for their clothes than they have ever done in the history of American commerce in apparel. Those who think out the situation say that this is due to the employment of thousands of women in new ways. Instead of these women purchasing cheap, tawdry things, they add $10 or $15 to the price of a costume and buy a gown that gives steady service. America Haa Done Her Part. The one outstanding episode in the interesting and important movement of spring clothes, is the immense stride in designing that America has taken. All that has gone before was experimental, but this spring the clothes are good. They make no pretention of changing the silhouette as laid down by the Paris designers; the only drastic revolution in silhouette which has been attempted by this country, took place last summer, when the nar- THE FASHION OF THE 1920S Doeuillet of Paris builds a black satin evening gown into something extraordinary by using tinkling strings of jet from shoulder to knees. The Egyptian girdle is of velvet. row skirt which pulled upward from the knees to the back and finished with a bustle effect at the end of the spine, was thrown into the arena of clothes. It not only won out, although it was the work of one designer, but it coincides entirely with the clothes that Paris sent over last month. This season the two countries go hand in hand. The silhouette is the same—narrow, with floating draperies. Take that one condition as the foundation stone and then build as you please is the slogen given to every woman. American Designs Preferred. One is immensely proud of American clothes this spring. Our designers have had the courage to show them in connection with the French gowns, and it is easily proved that in several important houses the American woman chooses her entire spring wardrobe from American designs, rather than French ones. One of the reasons for this is that Paris has not laid unusual stress upon the tallored costume, and the American woman had reverted to it. She wants to appear in a simple but distinguished costume when she is in the street. The American tailoring is the best in the world, and the American designer contrives to get the best effect out of tailored material, whether he is making a frock or a coat suit. France does not care for such clothes, her women wear them only under protest, and there is always a sash, or a piece of embroidery, or an unusual addition of lingerie, or a THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Bias tunic is a chosen drapery. It is shown in this gown by Premet of Paris, in biscuit-colored garbardine with deep collar of brown faille. It is soutached with brown braid. bizarre splash of something that changes the mannish severity of the American national costume into something with coquetry that melts into the personality of the French women. Seeing their opportunity and grasping it as they have never done before, the American tailoring establishments have worked wonders. They have kept to the government's request for the elimination of wool as far as possible, and they have achieved costumes that are eminently fitting and distinguished on the American figure, and for the personality of the American woman. More power to them! The severity that America lays down for us in the morning is easily changed into a floating gracefulness as laid down by France for the late afternoon and evening. It is yet to be seen whether America will go in extensively for afternoon gowns, according to the French custom, but there is one thing of which we are quite certain; if the American woman likes an afternoon gown, she will wear it through the evening, unless some formality of entertainment demands a more ornamental frock. France has cut her silhouette as elim as the American designer has cut it for tailored costumes, but France gives a note of the First Empire in the seductive way in which she drapes this narrow foundation with floating, transparent material. The trick is not confined to house costumes; it plays a good role in street gowns also, in a modified and demure manner. A tunic of Georgette crepe, for example, will be dropped over a slim underslip of silk or satin, and the sleeves will float away from the arms and come back suddenly to the wrists, where they are tightly caught in. But this gown will not be accepted by the American woman for the street. There is a strong note of economy struck in these new French clothes, which is heard by the woman who is hiring a seamstress to build up her spring wardrobe at home. It shows the way to alter old gowns into new ones. The majority of women own evening frocks that have good foundations, the skirts a trifle too full, it is true, but otherwise ready to serve as the beginning of a new frock. The alteration in the skirt is a simple one. It consists of straightening out all the seams, so that there is no flare from the hips down. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Drapery seems to be the order of the latest spring fashions. Smart military frocks are very much in evidence for children.

Net eat EDITORIAL. ‘The principals of the Attucks, Gar- risoh and Lincoln schools have en- tered into a very sensible agreement to simplify seventh grade graduating exercises. No flowers or presents are to be given to pupils while upon the stage, it being pointed out that the quantity of such tokens by no means indicates the merits of the pupil and is frequently embarrassing to chil- dren with more brains than relatives. Friends of the Wheatley-Provident should not become impatient over the apparent delay in getting into the new Duilding. The work of remodeling the interior, installing new heating and sanitary apparatus and other neces- sary equipment is now under way and if all subscriptions are promptly paid up the new hospital will soon be at the service of the community. The public is invited to call and inspect the preparations being made. Prin. Joe E. Herriford’s article “Our Careless Parents',” published in The Sun two weeks ago, is still the sub- ject of much favorable comment among the thinking people of this and other cities. If the stimulating of this sentiment amounts to anything “the little fast girlie” is to be more close- ly watched hereafter. And the closer, the better. Her little innocent night parties, her picture show chummings and her Sunday afternoon strolls are the strong points to watch. ‘The many petitions and protests be- ing sent to President Wilson concern- ing the recent Camp Funston race seg: regation order may not result in the removal of the General as some have demanded but they will at least indi. cate to the American people the grow: ing disgust of patriotic Negroes to- ward the senseless practice of trying to mix race hatred with love of coun- try. Such is a poor stimulus for the Black Man who is soon to face the cannon of Prussian tyranny. Incident to the opening of the soda season, on the service tables at the People’s Drug Store on last Sunday appeared the season's menu of sodas to be served at that place. The at- tractiveness of the folder in question aroused an acute sense of appreciation on the part of Ye Editor for the real art displayed by the printer who handled the job. Our interest gath- ered the inquiry of who did the work? (since modesty had evidently pre- cluded the use of customary imprint). ‘When told that the Commercial Print- ing establishment of Arthur W. Harris was wholly responsible, that sense of pride that all true men and women of the race have for their own who are truly masters in their line was in stantly revived. And The Sun has nc hesitancy in branding this piece of work as a “typographical confection.’ Another demonstration that “Art” is a master of the preservation of art, FOR RENT—Two rooms, furnished and unfurnished, 1512 Park Ave. WANTED—Children to care for by the day or week. 1504 East Tenth street, Bell Phone East 1147-J. | WANTED—Barber to take charge of shop or will rent same cheap to desirable party.

All along are gates that open into back yards. And, always, little children romp in and out in stroyer is going to send that sub to the bottom and Billy's ship is laying alongside to rescue the crew. You see that woman standing before that stone wall with her arms tied and a handkerchief over her eyes? Well, she's a spy. If you wait a minute till the firing squad comes up you can see her shot, if you want to." The woman spy, who must have been every day of four years old and who masked her iniquities in a pink gingham slip and bob curls, posed smilingly against the fence, with one eye peeking over her bandage. Up marched the squad, led by a drummer, knee high to that grasshopper which lends itself so accommodatingly to occasions like this. Each soldier wore khaki or a sailor suit or an Indian costume, and all were armed with real toy guns. They lined up, took aim and the victim, terrorized by the grim make-believe of childhood, which is one of the most real things in this world, yelled out as the officer lifted a handkerchief and the squad shouted, "Bang." But she played the game like a little sport and fell according to schedule. What a way-off, old-fashioned and uneventful world it used to be when children floated ships of clover down the stream—and hatched snakes out of horsehairs—and rode tobacco sticks—and played jack straws—and worshiped stiff china dolls with black curls painted on. Just the Adventures of Three Women and a Baby Just the Adventures of Three Women and a Baby HE was dressed to kill—in the sense that she was armed with every weapon that money could forge for the fighting of that battle which woman always loses when her enemy is Time. All the time, the woman in the fine clothes and make-up watched the baby with that hungry look that—you can't put it in words, but the next time you see a baby in a car, say, watch the passengers, men and women, and somewhere in that crowd you will catch the expression. But you couldn't spell it to save your life. The woman looked at the baby that way, and right in the middle of its pounding and kicking and yelling, by some luck—maybe it wasn't just luck, either, but never mind that—by some luck, the baby caught the woman's glance, stopped crying, held out its arms and began to coo. It was a clear case of hypnotism. The woman gathered up her belongings with subconscious conventionality, paid her bill and then went straight to the baby and took him in her arms. The mother was frankly gratified that a woman of such worldly affluence should be playing nurse to her child, until—until another woman at another table—an ominously virtuous woman whose milk of human kindness seemed to have curdled came over and whispered a remark. The mother took her baby from the woman, and the woman, understandingly, went out of that cafe mad enough to bite nails. That was all there was to it unless—unless some day—somewhere—a viciously good meddler and an overprudent mother who snatched her baby from the arms of a middle-aged Delliah should be called to account by an accusing Judge, who, himself, loved little children when he walked the earth—a long time ago.

"Net contributions, net deductions, and subdeductions. The most tangled up, mussey thing I've ever handled. "Knitting compared to filling out an income tax return is like holding the baby when he's all dressed up and nowhere to go compared to walking him up and down the floor when he has the colic." A woman, smiling, came over to the scene of battle. "Oh, I'm all through. It's just not so bad after all. There's a nice man who gives you a seat and tells you just what to put down, and you can ask questions about the parts you don't understand. "Oh, you're third. Don't let any one get ahead of you. Good-by. It only takes five minutes." Washington Small Boy Just Now Much Disturbed THAT the public schools of the District of Columbia should be kept open for twelve months every year was the statement of Ernest L.

Two high schools were open during the summer period of about six weeks. An appropriation estimate now before congress as part of the regular District appropriations bill carries provision for money to permit many of the District high and grade schools to remain open during the summer months. At Eveleth, Minnesota, the all-year school has grown out of a summer school that has been successfully conducted for the past six or seven years. The superintendent reports that a year ago, when special efforts were made to increase the enrollment of the summer school to over 600 pupils, it was decided to go over definitely to an all-year organization, consisting of four terms, spring, summer, fall and winter, three school months in each term. play. The other morning, after a night rain had washed the cobbles and filled the gutter brim up with fresh water and put gold-green leaves on the bushes, it seemed an extra nice alley to a woman who was making a short cut through it—but people do make such ridiculous mistakes. For it wasn't an alley at all. Three boys who were floating toy boats down the gutter explained: "This is the Atlantic ocean and this is the American navy.

It only Just Now Much Disturbed District of Columbia should be kept open is the statement of Ernest L. Thurston, and in this belief by the experiences of school officials of other cities, who have found that keeping the schools open for educational purposes has resulted in speeding up educational work and bettering the standards of both pupils and teachers, Mr. Thurston strongly urged that the District schools be put under the quarterly system, with small vacations between the quarters. This system will speed up educational processes in Washington. Last year about 1,200 pupils were accommodated in grade schools open about the city. Two high schools were about six weeks.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1918 Indelible Ink From Fungus Found Growing in France In Decaying Vegetable Matter The utilization of a common variety of fungus for the manufacture of ink, now both costly and scarce, has been proposed in France, says the Pathfinder. The ink-yielding fungus which is often found growing in clusters where decaying vegetable matter exists in rich, damp soil is sometimes called the "inkstand" or the "ink bottle" because of the fact that when it decays a black liquid is produced. Its cap is elongated and bell-shaped, white at first and covered with a shining powder, later turning to gray with small brown scales on its top. A French scientific journal says that extensive experiments in the production of indelible ink from this fungus were once carried on by French botanists. The fungi are simply placed in a bottle or other container. After standing for a day or two they change to a black pulpy mass, which, on being filtered through a folded cloth, yields a deep black or brownish ink, not unlike India ink. The addition of a small quantity of gum arable and a little of the essence of cloves is said to improve it and preserve its fluidity. The ink consists of a liquid in which are suspended the minute spores of the fungus. For this reason it can be readily identified by means of a microscopic examination. As it is also indelible it is peculiarly valuable for use in writing of wills and other documents which are sometimes subject to fraudulent alterations. Mother's Cook Book Food habits, like all other habits, are not easily changed. Do not try too many war-time dishes at once. Use ingenuity in the preparation and serving of new combinations, try to have them look and taste well. Eat Nuts. Save Meat. Nuts are so wholesome, present such a variety and are so well liked that they should be used more often as a food rather than a delicacy. Sweet Potato and Peanut Croquettes. Mix a cupful of mashed sweet potato with a cupful of finely chopped peanuts, a half a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper, shape into croquettes, roll in fine bread crumbs, and bake in a hot oven until brown. If the crumbs are well buttered before using the croquettes will brown quickly. Serve with a white sauce seasoned with two tablespoonfuls of chill sauce. Scalloped Onions and Peanuts. Cook six onions in boiling salted water until tender. Chop two-thirds of a cupful of freshly roasted peanuts. Melt two tablespoonfuls of fat and add two tablespoonfuls of barley flour; when smooth add a cupful of rich milk, a teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of paprika. Put a layer of onion, a layer of peanuts, then white sauce in a baking dish, cover with buttered crumbs and bake. Stuffed Dates With Nuts and Cheese. Steam well-washed dates until soft, remove the pits and fill with cottage cheese mixed with a few finely chopped hickory nut meats. Cut eight apples in halves and remove the cores with a spoon, put into a baking pan with a cupful of maple syrup and $1\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls water and two tablespoonfuls of butter, sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of chopped nuts and bake until the syrup is thick; serve with whipped cream. Apples With Nut Stuffing. Scoop out apples and fill the shell with English walnuts and apple pulp mixed with mayonnaise; place in a circle on a large serving dish and heap whipped cream in the center. Honey Custard. Beat two eggs, add half a teaspoonful of salt, one-third of a cupful of honey and beat again; add two cupfuls of milk and mix thoroughly. Turn into four earthen cups. Set into a dish of water and bake until firm in the cechter. Sprinkle with chopped nuts just before putting into the oven. Nellie Maxwell Kept Two Mice Busy Whole Year Operating Thread Mill A thrifty Scotchman, David Hutton, conceived the idea of using mouse power commercially, relates the Popular Science Monthly. He experimented and found that a mouse will run on an average ten and one-half miles a day. One mouse in Mr. Hutton's collection actually ran 18 miles in one day. The power of a mouse is not much when compared to horse power; yet, it is enough to spin cotton thread. The cost of a mouse upkeep is not very high. One mouse was kept in fine working condition for 35 days on one-half penny's worth of oatmeal. During those 35 days that mouse run 362 miles. Mr. Hutton built a thread mill for his mice which was so constructed that the mouse was able to twist and reel from 100 to 220 threads a day. The mouse ran ten and a half miles every other day. Two mice were kept constantly engaged in the spinning of thread for more than a year. World's Corn Acreage and Distribution By the U. S. Department of Agriculture The world's area annually planted to corn normally averages about 175,000,000 acres. Approximately 40,000,000 acres are planted in the eastern hemisphere, where the principal corn-growing areas are southern Europe, Asia, the Mediterranean countries of Africa, and the Union of South Africa. Among the countries of Europe, the greatest acreages are in Austria-Hungary, Italy, the Balkan states, and Russia. A much less extensive acreage is grown in Spain and France. In Asia, British India, Turkey, and southern Asiatic Russia have the most extensive acreages; the crop is grown less extensively in the Phillippines, China, and Japan. Practically all of the African acreage is in Egypt, the Union of South Africa, and Algeria. Australasia contributes comparatively little to the world's corn acreage. Of the 135,000,000 acres planted to corn in the western hemisphere, 105,000,000, or three-fifths of the total world's acreage, is in the United States. Next to the United States, Mexico and Argentina have the greatest acreages. The crop is grown extensively in the smaller countries of South America and of Central America, and less extensively in portions of Canada. Argentina is the leading corn-producing country of South America. Its annual yield approximately is 250,000,000 bushels. More than half the Argentina crop is exported, so that, considering its production, it does not Illuminating Gas Is Being Used in England as Motive Power for the Motor Cars The war has at least served a useful purpose in teaching practical economy. Today we are facing a serious gasoline shortage. In England, according to the Science et la Vie, illuminating gas is now being used extensively as the motive power for motorcars, omnibuses and motorcycles. It is much cheaper than gasoline, and its use conserves the limited supply of fuel for the motors at the front. Another war industry has been given birth and already a large number of companies have been organized to manufacture tanks for supplying vehicles with gas. The system is very simple and may be applied to almost any type of motor vehicle. All that is necessary is a balloon container for the gas, tubing to carry the gas to the motor and certain adjustments in attaching the controls to the carburetor and accelerator pedal. In England the balloon in a box rests on top of the car, where it is held in position by elastic bands, which stretch when the balloon is filled and shrink as it empties. It is made of India rubber tissue like that used in the ordinary balloons of ascension. The tubing from gas bag to carburetor is fitted with a cock which has a triple function. It permits the bag to be charged or emptied or can be turned to the neutral, which permits the gas to flow along to the carburetor. A second cock controls the flow to the carburetor. This is turned off when filling or discharging. Between this cock and the carburetor is the control mechanism attached to the accelerator. This mechanism is so arranged that gas or gasoline may be used as it happens to be convenient. The only difficulty at present in the way of a wholesale substitution of gas power for gasoline lies in the fact that the factories which manufacture balloons are under military control. Items of Interest. In buying a meat chopper choose one that is easy to clean. A little pine vaseline will remove mildew and stains from leather. Every well-fed child should have one egg a day as part of its diet. Rock salt broken into coarse bits is a great help in cleansing bottles. Made of a flat steel spring, a quickly adjusted belt has been invented to take the place of strings on kitchen or laboratory aprons. Using Farm Machinery. The greater use of farm machinery as a solution of the farm-labor problem is the logical and, indeed, inevitable outcome of the situation brought about by the war. Not only are federal and state authorities urging this course upon farmers, but encouragement in various forms to do so is being held out to the farmers in all parts of the country—Springfield Union. Homemade Meal. Soy bean meal is on sale in some places, but the housekeeper who wishes to do so can grind soy beans by putting them through a meat chopper several times or by using a coffee mill or other small mill. The meal does not require any preliminary cooking to soften it. Soy bean meal can be used like other common meals to make a variety of palatable dishes. 一 rank high as a corn-consuming nation. The smaller countries of South America consume about all the corn they produce, for it holds an important place in the dietary of the native population, especially in Peru, Bollivia and Ecuador. In Mexico, corn, in one form or another, is the staple article of diet of most of the population. So great is the demand, that although in normal times Mexico ranks second to the United States in acreage and total yield, its production is insufficient for home consumption, and several million bushels are imported annually from the United States. In a large part of Mexico corn is the most important agricultural crop and in some sections two crops a year are grown. Many distinct types having characters that adapt them apparently to certain peculiar environments have developed in Mexico. In the United States corn is grown more widely than any other crop. It is grown to some extent in every state in the Union. The acreage in the United States usually exceeds the combined acreages of wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, and rice. Annual production ranges from 2,500,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 bushels, or slightly exceeding the combined yields of the cereals just mentioned. The value is far in excess of any other crop. With the possible exception of cotton, corn is the most important and irreplaceable crop in the agriculture of this country. THE FUNNY SIDE. The Class. "I have a fine setter I have just bought." "What is it—Gordon, English or Irish?" "None of the three; Plymouth Rock." "I have a fine setter I have just bought." "What is it—Gordon, English or Irish?" "None of the three; Plymouth Rock." "What do you think of this daylight-saving movement?" "It won't do any good," replied the weary commuter.

Boys Can Help Country by Gardening, Raising Poultry, Pigs, and Conserving Food How every American boy, although separated by the Atlantic ocean from the actual theater of war against autocracy, can play his part in upholding American ideals, is pointed out by Secretary of Agriculture Houston in a message addressed to the Boy Scouts of America. The Secretary pledges to the boys the hearty co-operation of the federal and state agricultural agencies. Secretary Houston's statement follows: "The splendid army of Boy Scouts of America can be of very great help to the nation in this time of world need. The war can be won only if we deliver the men, the ships, and the food in sufficient number and quantities to make our war program effective. You as a boy scouts can greatly aid by growing home vegetable gardens, raising pigs and poultry, conserving food by canning and drying for home use and in many other ways open to you.

HAPPENINGS in the CITIES Rhinoceros Does Not Take Kindly to Pneumonia Rhinoceros Does Not Take Kindly to Pneumonia NEW YORK.—Pneumonia is prevalent in the New York Zoological park in the Bronx. It is particularly prevalent in the great Indian rhinoceros.

Other victims are Teddy, an Alaskan brown bear, and Louisa, a Himalayan black bear.

Draft Boards Find Ways to Deal With Slackers CHICAGO.—Although a majority of slackers have sought to evade military service by submitting sad stories of physical ailments or helpless dependents, more than a few classical excuses have been heard by local boards and medical examiners. The following little system caught more than one would-be evader: A youth alleging defective hearing was taken into an examining room. "My hearing is pretty bad," he told the medical officer.

Seem Unable to Get "Hang" of Daylight Saving BALTIMORE—There is in this city a man who swears he can't get the hang of the "daylight saving" plan. He is a perfectly intelligent fellow, with a keen enough brain, and there is a strong opinion that his inability to understand the "daylight saving" scheme is largely due to an argumentative disposition. But, however that may be, there is something to what he says. There is going to be a lot of topsy-turvy business resulting from the double-quick of the clocks, unless people really do what they are being told to do: "Set your clock forward an hour and—forget it!" The trouble is some of these birds are determined not to forget it. There will be the sporty fellow, who, thinking to slip one over on the government, will look at his watch, note that the hands register 1 o'clock, and will exclaim: "It's only midnight, boys—we've got another hour yet."

Beyond, a great broad stairway leading to the offices. After that the draughting rooms. Then building after building, pattern lofts, machine rooms, molding floors. Well, thirty years, boy and man. I've gone up those stairs, kept going till I mounted higher and higher, and became superintendent, then—follow me a bit, and I'll show you the other side of the picture." Thus Gabriel Purcell, sturdy old disciplinarian of fifty. He did not look it, he did not feel it. His voice was clear as a clarion note, his eye was full of fire and power. Just a wee stoop of the shoulders threw the stalwart figure out of direct plumb line, and the silvering hair was touched with the first frost of time and winter. He carried a magnificent gold-headed cane under his arm, disdaining its use as a support and only taking it with him for company because it was the cherished gift of some cheap shovel men in the factory, who loved him and his just, helpful way as if he had been an own father to them. Gabriel Purcell led his companion, an old-time friend, making a brief visit to the town, around the great stone wall enclosing the plant, and then swung his cane to where a long steep chute ran from the upper floor of the tin specialty shops to the barren rear yard. Down it it was now pouring the scraps, refuse, waste of the factory. "The dump head—see it, Farleigh?" questioned the old man bitterly. "That's me—in at the front, rushed through, worked out and thrown on the dump head!" At that same hour Thomas Wynne, head of the great Wynne company, sat facing his attorney in his private office. "The fact is, Wynne, isn't it that Purcell is Oslerized," submitted the latter. "Don't use the word juntily, Randall," returned the founder, "but that about covers it. You don't know how it jars on me to face the merest imputation of injustice regarding Purcell. He has been my right hand since I started in here with a little twenty by forty shed of a shop, and has helped build the business up to its present up-to-date proportions. You know how fifteen years ago my wife inherited a large estate and supplied one hundred and fifty thousand dollars capital to expand the enterprise. Well, recently a younger brother of hers, what you may call a mechanical theorist and ultra-system man, got the idea in his head that he could come in here and double up profits in a year." "But what interest has he in the business?" "None, except through the courtesy of my wife and some relatives who are also stockholders. Of course I can't gainisay her. Her estate owns considerable of the company stock. She helped build me up. I can't afford to quibble with her. I had to supercede Purcell. My brother-in-law is now in charge of the mechanical departments. Younger men, stricter rules, more business, higher profits, his aim. We shall see how it works out." Mr. Wynne sighed. "We shall, indeed," muttered the lawyer cynically. "Yes, that isn't all, Randall," resumed the manufacturer. "I am approaching a delicate subject. You know that Purcell has a son who is the pride of his soul and the apple of his eve. Arnold Purcell." "Yes," nodded the lawyer, and it was palpably apparent that the mention aroused pleasant sentiments. "A fine young man, an exceptional one, they say. Capable, ambitious, high grade. I hear that he has won quite some eminence as an advanced sanitary engineer." "Very well, by some strange freak of destiny he and my daughter, Elstnore, met at a social function in the city. Plainly, they are in love with each other. I am no aristocrat, I sprung from nothing, as did Gabriel Purcell. My wife, however, as you know, draws the line at social distinctions, or rather those of wealth. She has fatly told young Purcell that Elstnore must never marry a man who has not as large a fortune as her own." "And Arnold Purcell?" "Asks time to make good the condition." "Great for him! He'll make it," declared the lawyer with confidence. "The young man has not advised his father or others of his love affairs," said Wynne. "He and Elsinore seem to have settled down to sensible, dignified patience and mutual fidelity. He does not intrude himself upon her company. He is pursuing the even tener of his way, and she is content. It is the father I worry about. I want you to go and see him, and here is the memoranda of what I want to do for him." Mr. Randall departed with his instructions. He found Purcell at his home. The letter had been a widower for many years and lived in a comfortable, but small house at the edge of the town. It overlooked a deep pit nearly a quarter of a mile in extent, to which a spur of the rail-read ran. For ten years a soft limestone quarry had been mined here to supply slag mixture for the big blast furnaces. The entire property belonged to Purcell, but was of little apparent value. He greeted Mr. Randall civilly. "I've come from your best friend," spoke the lawyer. "He wants you to accept a pension, a free and clear town residence, an automobile and—" Gabriel Purcell burst out into a hearty laugh. He held in his hand a letter he had just received from his son. He was strangely changed from the wandering misanthropy of the early morning. "Stop right there, Mr. Randall," he said heartily. "I understand Mr. Wynne and he understands me. The new experiment is forced on him, and no hard feelings. It won't go through. Remember what I say, that before a year is out I'll be back and the old system resumed. And say," and the old man's eyes glowed. "I'll be able to help him out if he finds he's cramped for capital." The lawyer eyed Purcell as though he was getting rid of his senses. "Oh, I'm not talking wild," chuckled the old man. He waved the letter in his hand towards the old quarry pit. "I own that, you know." "That hole in the ground, you mean?" "Exactly, and it's going to be a gold mine." "I can't make out Purcell," reported the lawyer to Mr. Wynne. "He talks millions. He's got some dream of wealth and he seems happy as a lark. He says he'll be back in a year." "I honestly hope it," groaned Mr. Wynne. "Already some of the modern efficiency tactics of the new superintendent have set the older working gangs by the ears, and they are quitting by the score." Mr. Wynne put himself out of the way to meet Purcell whenever he could. He was surprised, pleased and gratified to note the glad, sincere welcome of the discarded faithful old fellow worker. Purcell was more than friendly, he was cheerful, loquacious, and referred constantly to his "vacation," and blinked jocularly at the founder and referred to "the good old times coming back all new." Then came a period of care and trouble for the plant. A good many of the old expert workmen sought new fields of labor. The new superintendent took a large contract at a loss. In rushing a special order they forfeited the trade of one of their oldest and most substantial clients. Meanwhile, something that puzzled the townpeople was going on at the old quarry. Near the edge of the big pit new tracks were laid, a large weighing scale put in, derricks erected, and scoops, elevating and lowering machinery. Purcell bustled about, the busiest, cheerless being ever was, and his son Arnold made frequent inspection visits to the old home at the quarry pit. One day, like a thunderclap, came the news that the big plant was shut down pending a reorganization. The new superintendent had resigned. Some outstand stockholders had become alarmed at the reports of fast shrinking profits, and had thrown their holdings on the market at a ruinous decline. That very morning a train of 50 gondola dump cars gracefully wound round from the main railroad tracks and half encircled the quarry pit. Each car was weighed, the contents dumped, and the train returned to the city. Ashes, building debris, all the daily accumulated rubbish and waste of a great city was represented in this first dumping into that useless, valueless, almost fathomless quarry pit. Thomas Wynne looked up from his desk in the office of the deserted plant as Gabriel Purcell entered. The founder's face was worn and drawn. "Is it as bad as they say?" questioned Purcell. "Worse. Outside of my wife's capital I have no resources. I must have two hundred thousand dollars to get back where we were before this ghastly experiment was made, or go into bankruptcy." "Good!" cried Purcell animatedly. "Til provide the deficit amount for a like amount of stock." "You?!" cried Wynne incredulously. "Myself and my son, yes. You see, old friend, the quarry pit. Arnold is the head expert in recovery and disposal work for the city. We are only 12 miles away, and the nearest available dumping pit. They have been carrying the refuse out into the lake, but the barge rates have become prohibitive. In fact, we have a ten years' contract for disposing of the rubbish at forty cents a cubic yard. Fifty cars a day and all profit, but the weighing. Figure it up, and don't wonder that we are able to anticipate a million in payment any time we want it." "And you propose—" "To go back to my old job and run the plant on the old safe, sensible basis. Old friend," suggested Purcell, with twinkling eyes, "did it happen to occur to you that In Oserizing the plant you forgot that you were ten years older than myself? And then when affairs had been readjusted and Arnold Purcell qualified fully as a meet suitor for pretty, patient Elsinore, and the old cheerful hum of industry cheered the contented workmen at the plant, Thomas Wynne and Gabriel Purcell, again in the right groove, felt as though they had stepped back into the magic enthusiasm of their earlier years. Modes of Progress. "You need exercise. You ought to walk to work." "It can't be done from our suburb. You may snow-plow your way to work. You may slide or you may come pretty near swimming to work. But you never actually walk." THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1918 What Well Dressed Women Will Wear THE WOOL COAT ON BEING CORRECTLY SUITED. The vagaries of spring suits are many—as suits go. Heretofore it has been left to afternoon and other dresses to give us unlimited variety to choose from while the tailored suit appeared true to form, in a few very well defined styles. This season the tailored suit is indulging many fancies of its own. There are suits with very short coats, suits with Eton jackets, many suits with waistcoats and a good many eccentricities in coats. Skirts are nearly always plain, but a few exceptions to this rule appear in skirts to be worn with coats that are high at the back—an echo of the bustle dress of last winter. Other feature that can be gath sentative showy shoes continue to pared to high shag. The fact a lengthened a little ence. The very little than the modern more practical. shoes are of cloak. As fine kl leather that is there is no reas shoes should not conscience. But attractive and it With this variety in styles to choose from, it becomes easy to be correctly and becoming suited. The waistcoat, which is the most interesting feature in the new suit styles, is made in as many ways as suits themselves and is becoming to almost everybody, but if it proves unbecoming or unpractical we can center attention on other new features in the styles, as the uneven length of coats at the bottom and the abundance of braid trimming. Two very conservative suits shown in the picture will appeal to the woman whose taste cannot be diverted from plain and practical ideas in tailored clothes. At the right there is blue serge—which we have always with us, whatever else may come and go—trimmed with silk braid and, buttons. The coat is longer in the front. 10 12 SUMMER STYLES IN SHOES. and sides than at the back, being cut with a point in front and at each side in deference to present-day style. The suit at the left has only one feature that distinguishes it as distinctly of this season, and that is the manner in which it is left open at the front to the waistline. It is of beige gaberdine and has a military suggestion in its pockets with flap and belt fastened with a small buckle. It will be noticed that collars on the new suits are usually high in the back and this one follows this rule. Below there is a small sketch of a jersey suit with a real waistcoat—which leads to the confession that there is much camouflage in this matter of waistcoats—they are usually merely front and nothing more. Just a glance over the displays of footwear for summer brings home the fact that women have taken more than kindly to colored shoes. In fact it appears that color in footwear promises to become a permanent thing, as in gloves—and that the same colors are to be used. Many shades of tan and gray, often in combination with white, russet and white shoes, if counted would sum up as many pairs as there are in black shoes. Other features of the new styles, that can be gathered from any representative showing, reveal that high shoes continue to be very high as compared to high shoes of a few seasons ago. The fact that skirts have been lengthened a little has made no difference. The very high shoe is more trim than the moderately high shoe and more practical. The uppers in these shoes are of cloth just as often as of kid. As fine kid is not the sort of leather that is needed in the army there is no reason why the very high shoe should not be worn with a clear conscience. But cloth tops are just as attractive and just as desirable as the kid and maybe a little easier to keep clean. Oxfords and slippers will divide honors with high shoes for street and sports wear this summer. In all of them toes are somewhat pointed but not to the length of discomfort. Considerable decoration in perforations appears on all styles of shoes as may be gathered from the group pictured here which includes a high walking shoe, oxfords and a dress slipper. The high shoes are in black kid with common-sense Cuban heel. Wherever a seam is required for joining the different parts of the shoe, there perforations occur. And the toes have a small pattern that is purely decorative. The oxfords are in tan leather, finished in much the same way as the 10 high boots and the slippers are in black and gray—very smart for wear with afternoon frocks and light summer dresses. Julia Bottomley The new linens for household use show a great deal more lace trimming than has been the fashion in some time, and the favored lace seems to be flet. Handsome towels of linen damask have strips of flet above the ham and above the flet a delicate hand embroidered pattern. Tea cloths show a flet edge with a line of hemstitching an inch above, and a flet square in one corner with hand embroidery trailing about it. An interesting card table cover is of white linen with a flet border and flet squares at each corner showing the card symbols—heart, diamond, club and spade—each worked delicately into the flet mesh. Lovely dresser sets have flet trimming in butterfly pattern, and to match these there are guestroom towels trimmed with the butterfly flet --- SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Exodus 20: 2:17; Leviticus 19:11-18; Matthew 22:34-40. 1. Regarding Marriage (vv. 1-12). The question touching divorce, which the Pharisees temptingly put to Christ, brought forth teaching which exhibits marriage in its true light. 1. Should not be degraded by divorce (vv. 1-6). Divorce was not instituted by God. The marriage relationship is indissoluble. Moses suffered divorce, limited and regulated it. Its existence, its practice, is indicative of the coarseness and perverseness of man. Sin is its real cause. 2. Marriage is God's primal law (vv. 6-9). The ideal law of life for the subjects of the kingdom of marriage. This is proven by the fundamental fact of sex. The union of the male and female natures is physical, mental and spiritual. In marriage, the male and female natures are mutually complemented. God's intention is that man should not be without the woman, nor the woman without the man (1 Cor. 11:11). 3. Remarriage of the divorcer is adultery (vv. 10-12). The marriage relationship can only be broken by death and sin. In view of the fact that marriage is for life, men and women should not enter this relationship without very serious consideration. Divorce for other than marital infidelity does not give the right to remarry. II. Regarding Children (vv. 13-16). The union of the male and female natures, according to God's purpose, lays the foundation for family life. The issue of such union is children. In connection with the divine law of marriage, it is fitting that Jesus should set forth his estimate of children and interest in them. The disciples considered it beneath the dignity of the Master to spend time with the children. Those who think it beneath their dignity to give attention to children should ponder well the words of Jesus. This will give the disciples proper consideration for work among children, and also to the nurture and discipline of their own children. Christian men and women will regard children as the property of the Lord, and will esteem it a high and holy privilege to train them for him. Due attention to Christ's teaching regarding children would transform the home life of society. III. Regarding Riches (vv. 17-31). 1. The young ruler's question (v. 17). This question reveals a void in his heart. He was a young man with a lovable character. The Savior's affections were enraptured by him. He was moral, honest, earnest and courageous. He had a wrong conception of eternal life. He thought that eternal life could be obtained by good works. Though he claimed to have kept the law, he was conscious of something lacking. He was willing to do something to fill up that which was lacking; therefore he came to Jesus making inquiry as to that lack. 2. Jesus' reply (vv. 18, 19). He knew the young man's heart, and put his finger on the weak spot. When it came to parting with his possessions in order to help his neighbor he parted with the Lord, going away sorrowful. This revealed the fact that he was a covetous man, a violator of the tenth commandment. 3. Lacking one thing and yet lost (vv. 21, 22). When the Lord pointed out to him that the defect in his life was the love of his money, he was unwilling to pay the price. When the time came in his life to choose between eternal life and riches, he chose wealth and parted company with Christ, perhaps, forever. 4. The peril of riches (vv. 23-31). The difficulty does not lie in the fact that a man possesses riches, for a man may possess great riches and still be an heir of the kingdom. Wealth is a mighty power. In itself it is good. It will provide bread for the widow and orphan, amelioration for the suffering, and send the Gospel of Christ to the ends of the earth. The step from possessing riches to trusting in them is a very short one. The tendency of growing wealth is to destroy the nobler life of the soul. Many of the most useful men in ancient and modern times have been men of wealth; but they, like Abraham, chose to live in tents, looking to the heavenly city which hath foundations. As long as a man possesses riches he is safe, but as soon as riches possess the man he is in deadly peril.

Definite Schedule Will Be Great Help in Avoiding Waste—Meals Suggested to Meet Food Administration's Requirements. It will pay you, Mrs. Housekeeper, to sit down for an hour each week and spend the time in planning your week's menus in advance. Especially at this time when all are striving to conserve food, you will find a definite schedule a great help in avoiding waste. Here are some menus for a week from a woman who believes in a working schedule for her household. The meals are carefully planned to meet, first of all, the food administration's requirements, using substitutes for wheat, meat, fat, and sugar, and they show also how a little careful planning can save the time and labor of the busy housewife. Features of the menus are the breadless meals and "quick breads" (muffins, etc.) made from other grains to save wheat, and the use of meat substitutes and savory dishes which call for little meat. The meals suggested are all simple and are planned to meet the needs of a family of four, consisting of two adults and two children. None of the menus are inflexible but could easily be varied to meet changing conditions. You can use these as guides in planning your family meals. The recipes for most of the dishes given in the accompanying menus are published in the United States Food Leaflets of the United States department of agriculture and the food ad- A WEEK'S MEALS FOR FOUR Breakfast. Stewed dried apricots Codfish balls Hot wheat and oatmeal, rolls and butter Coffee for adults Milk for children SUN Luncheon Cheese Stu Ho MON Luncheon --- ministration. This woman works her schedule to save time, fuel, and labor. On Saturday she baked her oatmeal bread to last for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The rolls for Sunday were therefore ready to be reheated Sunday morning. The hen for the chicken loaf was cooked In the fireless cooker Saturday in one cooking compartment while a quantity of apricots was cooking in the other compartment. The codfish balls were made Saturday night, thus utilizing some mashed potatoes left from dinner. Twice the quantity of hominy grits required were cooked in the double boiler for Monday breakfast and utilized with the apricots left from Sunday to make the apricot-hominy scallop. In the same way enough apples were baked for two meals. Corn sirup was used to sweeten the baked apples and stewed fruit in place of sugar. The stock from boiling the chicken served as the basis for chicken soup Tuesday, and the small quantities of left-over vegetables used for the vegetable salad Friday. Instead of stopping each day to answer the question, "What shall I cook today?" answer it at one time for the whole week. Try the plan and see how much easier your work becomes. Matrons for Rest Rooms. In rest rooms employing matrons many activities can be carried on which otherwise would not be possible. The matron not only sees that the rose room is kept in a clean, sanitary condition at all times, but she may provide for a sleeping child or a system for providing hot lunches at noon for women and children. She may care for packages which otherwise might have to be carried from place to place. In some rest rooms the matron takes charge of the woman's exchange, which usually is supervised by a committee from the women's clubs. Egg yolks, which are rich in fat and which are often left over from cake making, may be used to enrich soups or may be combined with milk to make custards which resemble cream in composition and can be used as cream, as on desserts.
