Emnett J. Scott, Special Assistant of the Secretary of War on his visit to Greater Kansas City last Saturday and Sunday was the greatest and most impressive thing of its kind that has ever occurred in this progressive city. And the Colored people are yet bubbling over with enthusiasm in remembrance of the splendid message of hope and good cheer which he brought to us as well as the magnificent manner in which the Colored people of this city acquitted themselves in the royal entertainment accorded him during his entire stay. Mr. Scott arrived at the Union Station from Des Moines at 6:40 p. m. and was met by a delegation headed by Messrs. C. H. Calloway, Hon. W. C. Hueston, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Dr. J. E. Dibble, the Editor, and others and was escorted to the main waiting room where he was received by a delegation of nearly a hundred prominent citizens under the direction of Mr. T. B. Watkins, chairman of the committee on arrangements. And amid much hand clapping and applause, which drew an immense crowd, was escorted to the handsomely decorated limousine of Mr. S. J. Hightower where headed by the motor-cycle squad of the police department and followed by thirty-five other handsomely decorated automobiles, he was escorted to the home of Dr. J. Edgar Dibble, an old boyhood friend and classmate whose guest he was during his stay. At 9:00 p. m.

Prof. J. R. E. Lee in eloquent terms and was received by the guests rising and applauding to the echo, after which Mr. Scott delivered one of the most forceful, sane and comprehensive addresses that has been heard from a member of the race since the death of Booker T. Washington. It was replete with witty and illuminating stories that kept the house in an uproar and Mr. Scott provoked an ovation that could not be stilled for many minutes when rising to his full stature he said: "I accepted the position with the War Department with the understanding that I should be no apologist for that department but that I should stand firmly for justice for ALL men." Captain Sam Bucklew (white) of ```markdown ``` The Kansas City Sun Camp Funston dropped in and spoke briefly on the necessity of a Hostess House for the 92d Division. Sunday, May 5, was one of the most strenuous days in Mr. Scott's career. Escorted by a delegation of representative citizens in decorated autos, he delivered an address at 11:30 at Allen Chapel where he was greeted by an immense audience. When he entered the audience rose and led by the famous choir rendered the "Star-Spangled Banner." After his introduction by Mr. Nelson C. Crews he delivered a brilliant address that found its way to the hearts of his hearers and at 12:00 o'clock with the audience standing left for the Second Baptist Church where another great audience faced him and where special music was rendered by its most excellent choir. And then at 12:30 he was escorted by the same delegation to the St. Stephen's Baptist Church, Rev. J. W. Wurse pastor, and addressed one of the most enthusiastic as well as spiritual as semblages of the day. Special and stirring music was rendered by their great chorus of sixty voices with a highly appreciated solo by the director Madame Hammett Bartell. BIG PARADE. At 3:00 o'clock a big complimentary parade formed at the offices of the Kansas City Sun, 18th and Woodland, composed of the Lincoln High School Cadets and the Regimental Band, Kansas Home Guard under Major D. A. Holmes, the Boy Scouts of Kansas City, Kan., under Capts. Woody Jacobs and E. E. Vaughan, the Boy Scouts of Kansas City, Mo., under Chief F. D. Wells and Capt. Williams, then 500 citizens including many ladies marches on foot with the honored guest, Prof. Lee, Prof. Dawley Hon. W. C. Hueston, in the van with Hon. C. H. Calloway as grand marshal; following behind were more than a hundred automobiles owned and filled by Colored people. The line of march was west on 18th to Tracy, south to the High School, which long before 3 o'clock was packed to its capacity and fully two thousand people awaited on the outside in a drizzling rain to hear the five minutes address which Mr. Scott graciously consented to deliver after the program had been finished on the inside. The following program was rendered at the High School: 1. Orchestra. ..... Selection 2. Invocation. ..... Rev. Rich'd Davis, Pastor M. E. Centennial Church 3. ocal Solo. ..... Miss Anna Smith 4.

Orchestra and Audience More than twelve hundred people heard his greatest address of the day at this meeting. After his outdoor address, Mr. Scott was hurried to the Paseo Y. M. C.

Perry Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hueston Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Crews Major and Mrs. N. Clark Smith Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington D. C., and At 8:30 the delegation, tired but enthusiastic, accompanied the distinguished Secretary to the Kansas KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1918. side, where at the First A. M. E. Church an audience of more than one thousand persons were in waiting to receive him, and amidst tremendous applause he was escorted by the pastor and officers with the delegation to the platform, where after brief introductory remarks by Prof. Lee and Mr. Crews he delivered what the delegation which had accompanied him on all his addresses agreed was the most brilliant and impressive address of his entire itinerary. At 9:00 o'clock the delegation, accompanied by Dr. S. H. Thompson and Prof. J. P. King, proceeded to the Metropolitan Baptist Church, where they received by the Home Guards drawn up in double column, headed by Major Holmes and Captain Cespides and escorted into the church, which was crowded to its capacity, where he received a great ovation. Here he was introduced with a soul stirring address by Kansas's most eloquent young orator, Prof. King, and to say that this was a great meeting is putting it mild, as the greatest possible enthusiasm was evidenced throughout all of the address. Tired but with his countenance radiating with visible enjoyment, the distinguished Secretary was escorted to the residence of Mrs. H. T. Kealing, on the Kansas side, where he was the guest of the evening of the widow of another distinguished American, who had been his intimate friend and associate in the old days back in the Lone Star state. HON EMMETT J. SCOTT'S VISIT TO FUNSTON. Mr. Scott, with the personal escort of Dr. J. E. Dibble, Hon. W. C. Hueston and Dr. H. M. Smith, arrived at Camp Funston, Monday afternoon, and was met by Capt. Dean of the Ammunition Train, Capt. Hickman of the Medical Reserve Corps and Lieut. Ammons of the Military Police. The party was driven to the headquarters of the 92d Division where Mr. Scott conferred with Maj. Gen. Ballou and the members of his staff, practically all afternoon. The Assistant Secretary of War addressed a number of men at the Knights of Columbus building at 6:30 and at 7:30 Mr. Scott talked to Maj. Gen. Ballou and staff officers and men of the 92d Division. Of the many addresses made by the guest of honor while in this locality this one was delivered with more fervor and sincerity than any and the applause of the soldiers was prolonged. Hon. W. C. Hueston introduced the speaker in a most eloquent manner. The speech of Mr. Scott marked the opening of the new Liberty theatre, a well appointed building, accommodating 3,000, and was built by the Government for the Negro boys. Mr. Scott referred to the soldiers as the "Fighting 92d" and intimated that the War Department would be sorely disappointed if this division did not prove to be one of the crack contingents of Uncle Sam's great army. The Sanitary Train's Band and the Glee Club enlivened the occasion with well rendered music. At 9 o'clock a banquet was tendered the Assistant Secretary of War by the Commissioned Officers assisted by the Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus, Capt. Dean, the outstanding Negro officer of the cantonment was toastmaster. This sterling young man, a native of Washington, D. C. and of 18 years service in the regular army, has acquitted himself nobly; he had charge of the school of the third Officers Training Camp of Negroes and has been complimented on all sides for his training of the man to a high point of efficiency. Toasts were responded to by Capt. Day, Lieut. Darnell, Lieut. Gaillard of Kansas City, Lieut. Ammons of Kansas City, Mr. Hardy of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. Alexander of the Knights of Columbus, Attorney Hueston, Dr. Dibble and Dr. Smith. Mr. Scott in most fitting terms delivered to these officers the appreciation of the War Department of the graduates of Des Moines and the other training schools. Tuesday morning Mr. Scott again conferred with the commanding officer and staff of the 92d Division, after an address at the Y. M. C. A. hut No. 11, to a large number of men with Mr. Hardy. The party returned to Kansas City in the afternoon and Mr. Scott left the same evening. Speeches in St. Louis, Cincinnati and a visit to the army training camp in Chillicothe, Ohio, completes the trip of our most distinguished guest. He returns to Washington with the one outstanding thought, the hospitality and treatment accorded him while in Kansas City, and we regard him as the great media. SUPREME COMMANDER C. M. WHITE who is to lecture at Ebenezer A. M. E. church, Monday evening, has been requested to deliver a lay sermon at St. Stephens Baptist church, Sunday, at 11 a. m., and Monday at 8:30 a. m. to address Lincoln High school, 11:30 a. m.

QUARTERLY MEETING AT INDEPENDENCE, MO. Rev. S. L. Brooks, Pastor. All pastors, members and friends of Kansas City and vicinity are cordially invited to attend the Third Quarterly Meeting services of St. Paul A. M. E. Church next Sunday, May 12, 1918. Come one. Come all. Everybody welcome. The following Public Spirited Citizens have Completed their Subscriptions to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital. The manner in which the subscribers to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Fund are paying their pledges is extremely gratifying and not only have a great many paid in full but hundreds have paid a large percentage of their pledges and doubtless a very large list will be added to the PAID IN FULL COLUMNS at the beginning of the fourth and last call for payments. Since our publication last week the following persons have paid in full the amounts herein designated: Previously reported, $15,613.11. $100.00 $25.00 Dr. Howard M. Smith. Dr. John E. Sheldon. $15.00 Frank S. Moore. $10.00 John X. Brown. Mrs. Alpha Conkling. W. W. Holder. W. W. Fields. Richard Allen. A. W. Fox. $5.00 Robert Berry. Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Hayes. Randall H. Walker. Misses Amelia and Henrietta Hunt. Mrs. Sarah J. Bradley. It must be extremely mortifying to those professional and business Negroes who have failed to meet their pledges to see the prompt and enthusiastic manner in which the white contributors and the laboring classes of our people are meeting theirs. And when at the final conclusion of this campaign The Sun shall fearlessly publish the names of those who have from one pretext to another evaded the payment of their pledges, there will doubtless be many exclamations of astonishment to know that many of those Negroes who claim to be LEADERS are only a concentrated package of hot air. Pay your pledges. STREET PESTS! Our Spring Tonic for Spring Ills. By Chas, A. Starks. It may not be out of order to mention that the following brief article is appearing on the Bulletin Window of the League Enterprise, two blocks from The Sun office. In this vicinity the "ills" we speak of are largely evidenced, therefore, it is fitting that the campaign for remedying such should start in the same locality. To be bain to ourselves we should state that we are not the worst of our kind, but this does not help us much; the only thing we may glory in is a persistent effort to clean house. Follows the said article without alteration: Street Pests. As the sun gathers in strength and warmth our beloved 18th street becomes the glorious pathway of all our people. It is splendid thing that there are fifty Colored persons to one White one in this neighborhood. This, then, is a community of Negroes, therefore, Negroes should see to it that a spirit of cleanliness should permeate our midst. Every business place owes to the public a clean front, windows washed, sidewalks swept and obstructed by nuisances of every sort. On the other hand the public owes to us an effort to preserve a good moral atmosphere around our shops and marts. The bright sun will shine and Colored people will be glad. Our women and children, shopping and pursuing their various bents, will pass and repass up and down these streets. The sun shines for them! They, in return are a joy unto us, respectable men are proud of them! But, but, along with the sunshine, the women and children, comes the ever-attending Street Pest in the shape of a vulgar ruffian. He is loud of mouth, rough, raw and usually ragged. But he is also "dressed up." He looks nice but there is Hell in his heart and from his lips come the vile and obscene language which he forces upon the hearing of all. Of both species, beware! And also become prepared to crush this miserable being out of existence. THE STREET PEST MUST GO. Local Lodges Rapidly Fill Quoto as Men In All Walks of Life Hasten to Join This Famous Order. GRAND CHANCELLOR INKANSAS CITY WORKING HARD St. Louis Mo.: The day has at last arrived when men are beginning to look around them for the most solid landing place before they jump. That the Knights of Pythias organization has demonstrated that the Order is a safe landing to cold facts when he is shown the results of the recent membership drive. Standing like the rock of Gibraltar, the Knights of Pythias are measuring up to every item of promise, complying with every law of the commonwealth and like good wine, it is growing better with age. Men are realizing all of these important features and are casting their fraternal future willingly into the keeping of the Pythian brotherhood. Every mail is bringing numbers of applications to the office of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, and coming from all sections of the state, these applications are but further proof of the explicit confidence which men everywhere are placing in the Order. All of the local lodges have opened their doors to this unprecedented influx of new members, and Pythian Temple Building at 3137 PiPne street is the nightly mecca of men who are seeking to protect the future of their families from the ravages of poverty and destitution. Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, who is at present in Kansas City, is giving his personal supervision to the membership campaign in that city, and his daily reports show that the work is at fever heat in the city by the Kaw and in the immediate vicinity. FLASHLIGHT FIEND TERRORIZES CITY. The housebreaker and ravisher, who is described by his victims as being a Negro, has been terrorizing Kansas City during the past three weeks and it is the demand of the Negroes of this city, as well as the whites, that he be speedily apprehended and punished for his brutal crimes. A great many people are inclined to believe that it is not a Negro but a white man disguised who is committing these awful crimes but whether it be a Negro or a white man, The Sun voices the sentiment of its people when it demands there be meted out to him if not killed when being captured, the extreme penalty of the law. Negro officers, make a special effort to catch this fiend and not only do credit to yourselves but exonerate your race from the unwarranted suspicion and insults being heaped upon us as a whole. THE COMMUNITY HOUSE. The committee in charge of the Community House and other comforts for the Colored soldiers located at Camp Funston are planning many activities for the raising of funds to be used for the general welfare and comfort of the soldiers, both at Funston and the large adjacent cities. In this connection we desire to say that this committee should be given the right of way, because several times Chairman W. C. Hueston of this committee has had to give way for other movements just as important, but not more necessary than this work. Assistant Secretary of War Emmett J. Scott in his message last Sunday to Kansas City urged that the men and women of this community get behind Chairman W. C. Hueston and raise funds for this purpose. We think that every Negro man and woman in this city should help in this movement and in some way respond to the call of Secretary Scott and Chairman W. C. Hueston. All other local interests by way of entertainment and subscription should be held in abavance while these of We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions. Why not advertise what you have to rent or sell in thispaper which reaches all the colored people in greater Kansas City? PRICE, 5c. DE DRIVE 1,000 MEMBERS Lily Fill Quoto as Men of Life Hasten to famous Order. KANSAS CITY WORKING HARD The coming Grand Lodge Session, which will be held in Sedalia, Mo., will in all probability outstrip all former sessions in point of attendance as well as attention and the committee which has charge of the Sedalia meeting is making preparations to entertain the cream of Missouri's citizens in July. A marked feature of the membership campaign was the excellent attendance of the members of Pride of Missouri Lodge, which was set up two weeks ago, and which held their first regular meeting Friday night, May 3rd. Sixty-six members out of a total membership of seventy-five were present. The healthy condition of the Finance Department of the Grand Lodge K. of P. merits favorable mention, and the quarterly collections for the last quarter show a phennomenal increase financially and numerically. The report of the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal shows a aggregate total collection for the last quarter of Eight Thousand Dollars. The above figures show at a glance that the Knights of Pythias in Missouri is both a financial and numerical stronghold, and will not be found wanting when weighed in the balance with other fraternal bodies. With lodges in almost every town and hamlet in the United States and foreign countries, every man who becomes a Pythian Knight will find himself at home wherever he happens to go. Lodges in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia will welcome the American Pythian with as much brotherly love as the lodges in Missouri or Illinois. forts are being made. Truly our soldier boys should be our first consideration. This committee will open a local rest room for the soldiers to use while in the city. ROLAND W. BRUCE Distinguished violinist and a student of the Michigan Conservatory who after achieving success in the North returns for a brief visit with his parents. He will be heard in recital May 20 at Allen Chapel. Roland is one of Kansas City's own young men having finished Ward and High schools. He was also a member of the Y. M. C. A. Allen Chapel and the Choir and an earnest worker in the Sunday School and Christian Endeavor. With all, Roland is an estimable young man so let us give him a rousing welcome May 20. He will be assisted by the following persons: Miss Mattie Jackson, soprano; Mr. Arthur Saunders, baritone; Lincoln High School Glee Club, under direction of Major N. Clark Smith and Prof. R. G. Jackson will be accompanist. From Our Foreign Correspondents A. F. and A. M. Mo. Jurisdiction Officers—1917. W. W. Fields, Cameron, Mo., Grand Master. C. C. Clark, St. Louis, Mo., Dep. Grand Master.

C. James, Dist. Mgr. Bell Ph., E. 2766. 1507 East 18th St. Reappointed and Confirmed—A Unique Record—Our Only Judge. que Record—Our Only Judge. The recent appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell by President Wilson to succeed himself on the Municipal court bench of the District of Columbia, and the confirmation of the nomination by the United States senate, last Thursday, makes a rather unusual record. Judge Terrell is the senior member in point of service of the five members of the court. He has served sixteen and one-half years consecutively. He has been confirmed by the senate five times. His appointments have come from three Presidents, all of whom are living, Roosevelt named him twice, Taft once, and Woodrow Wilson twice. He is the only Republican on the bench of the Municipal court, but has the backing of the lawyers of the district almost to a man without regard to politics. During his career as a judge he has presided in many cases of great importance to the people of his community. His re-appointment meets the heartiest approval of all classes of citizens of the District of Columbia, among whom he has always maintained an unusual popularity.

I., to William Stanley Braithwaite of Cambridge, Mass., the distinguished poet and literary critic, whose work as literary critic to the Boston Evening Transcript and contributor of critical essays to the Forum, the Century, Scribner's, the Atlantic Monthly and other leading magazines has made his name well known to the literary public. Mr. Braithwaite is a poet as well as a critic. In 1904 he published "Lyrics of Life and Love," a small volume of poems, and in 1908 "The House of Falling Leaves." Since 1913 he has edited the "Anthology of Magazine Verse," published by Small, Maynard & Company of Boston. In 1916 Mr. Braithwaite became editor of the "Poetry Review" of Cambridge. He has also edited "The Book of Elizabethan Verse," "The Book of Georgian Verse," and "The Book of Restoration Verse," and is the general editor of "The Contemporary American Poets Series" which is shortly to be issued in twelve volumes. Mr. Braithwaite's most recent publication is a volume entitled "The Poetic Year," in which are gathered together a series of articles which were contributed by him to the Boston Transcript during the years 1916 and 1917. It is needless to remark that Mr. Braithwaite's reputation extends beyond that of a "Negro" critic. His achievements have placed him in the forefront of America's literary critics irrespective of race. LINCOLN. NEB. Miss Mary G.

Washington, May 10, 1918.—Prof. George Edmund Haynes, recently appointed Director of Negro Economics in the Department of Labor by Secretary of Labor W. B. Wilson, entered upon his official duties on May 1. He will act as advisor to the Department of Labor on all questions affecting the Negro race. Dr. Haynes is Professor of Economics and Sociology at Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn., and one of the Executives of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. He is unusually well qualified by reason of his wide experience to advise upon all matters concerning Negro labor problems. NEGRO VILLAGE IS EXTREMELY PATRIOTIC. Calhoun, Okla., a mining town of 1,500, mostly Negroes, is about as patriotic as they make them. It has bought $16,000 in third Liberty Loan bonds. This is the word that Mrs. W. H. Hollis of Calhoun, who is visiting her son, Dr. L. T. Hollis, 2827 Charlotte street, brings to Kansas City. Calhoun has been a frequent and generous contributor to the smokes for soldiers fund, and has given freely to the Red Cross and other war funds.

Mr. Astwood is an aggressive young business man and will be a valuable addition to our city. The new Ku-Klux organization which is giving daylight parades in Birmingham, Ala., admonishing every idler to go to work must carry as much terror to the lounging poor whites as the old time bands used to carry to those defenseless Colored people who were nightly terrorized simply because they desired to work. The typical representative of the race, as the Star would have it, is the black or blackened subnormal who is having a season of prowling in the white residence district. Of course the whole race is to blame for this, even though some of the frightened victims have declared the intruder to be white. The Sun is in the receipt of a very unique announcement card conveying the happy news of a little stranger at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Escoe at Muskogee, Okla., April 28, who bears the name of Jerome Delmas Escoe. The little fellow is the grandson of Grand Master and Mrs. W. W. Fields of Cameron, Mo. NEGROES WANT BATH HOUSE. Park Board to Consider Use of Reformatory for Purpose. Alderman Scannel of the Eighth ward, whose constituency is largely Negroes, appealed to the park board yesterday to have the bath house on The Paseo at Eighteenth street turned over solely for the accommodation of Negroes. He said there are no bathing facilities available to them and that there are two other bathing places practically within the district for white persons. William Bucholtz, a member of the board, admitted that the problem of providing a public bath for Negroes is one for the board to solve. He offered as a solution that the board obtain control of the building at Twentieth and Vine streets, formerly used as a reformatory for women, and change it into a bath house. The board will investigate the idea. W. H. Greene of Detroit, Mich., a successful Evangelist of the Seven Day Adventists, has been elected Secretary of the North American Negro Department of the General Conference of Seven Day Adventists. By reason of his office, Pastor Green becomes a member of the General Conference Executive Committee, the controlling body of the denomination. It is the first time a Colored man has been elected to this office. Pastor Green is also a lawyar, graduating from Shaw University and accepta- the teachings of the Adventists Church while practicing in Washing ton.

C. L. a great many young men are getting married to get a "help mate." That the old men were never so popular as now since the war draft. Well every dog his his day. That some of the most flagrant slackers in the payment of hospital pledges are professional men. Too bad. That there are Negroes who have not washed their windows in their residence since they've been living there. —That the business man who does not advertise his business is either ashamed of his wares or "has rooms for rent." —That there is a woman's poker and crap game running in full blast near a prominent thoroughfare in this city where some of the stiffest betting among gamblers is done. Cut it out, girls. —That when it was announced that chicken dinner would be served at the "Y" last Sunday, there was a standing row from the door upstairs to the outer door on the ground floor waiting to "carve dat bird." —That Secretary Scott was so impressed with the progressiveness, development and hospitality of this city that he seriously contemplates when he retires from active life of making this city his future home. Hurrah for Scott. We knew "we'd show him." PEOPLE SELL THEIR EYES That is actually done when persons try to save a dollar or two by buying cheap glasses from any old eyeglass peddlar or from the cheap cut rate optical shops down town. The man who tests your eyes should have a broad literary education and be graduated from some high class eye school. The eye is a profound subject. It takes a learned man to fit glasses properly. Dr. Horton qualifies in every way for the work. He has a liberal education, a pleasing, sympathetic personality and holds two degrees from one of the best optical schools in the United States. See his ad in this paper. When in need of the service you expect one who will respond in a quiet, sober and dignified manner. One who will relieve you of the cares and worry that you usually undergo in time of bereavement.

I used one bottle of this Liniment and was entirely cured, and I feel safe to say it is the best Liniment I made and it cannot be best. I must say Mackey's Liniment will do all it is recommended to do. JOHN SAULSBERRY, 2414 Highland Ave., Bell East 3757. Kansas City, Mo. I want to say I used one bottle of Mackey's Liniment and it has done me more good than any medicine I ever used. For 15 years I suffered with rheumatism and for five years I suffered with severe throat trouble, but am now cured. For these complaints I find nothing to equal Mackey's Liniment. MRS. LIZZIE LOGAN, 800 Independence Ave. Sir: Please allow me space in your paper to say a word about Mackey's Lumbago. I suffered with pains in my feet, legs, back, stomach and after examination I found the pain in my back to be Lumbago. I was told that Lumbago was a cure for the same, I ordered a bottle at once and after applying the same as directed I was restored to my Lumbago. I was told that bottle used in our house the first time for Lumbago. I will highly recommend anyone disabled with above named symptoms and for all kinds of pains. MRS.

An incident with illustrates the awakening consciousness of Negro manhood even in the deep South, where our people have been hardened into bearing up under all sorts of outrages is found in the manly stand which the Negroes of Wilson, N. C. are taking in the case of Superintendent C. L. Coon, white, who viciously slapped a Colored teacher, Miss Mary Euell, for disputing a statement of her principal, Prof. J. D. Reid. When the time was moved forward a few weeks ago an official order went out for all the clocks to be moved forward one hour. This Miss Euell did against the wishes of Principal Reid, who apparently wished to move on by the old schedule. Principal Reid being a "Good Niggro," was well liked by Superintendent Coon, and when the matter was taken before him for adjustment, Miss Euell did not stand much of a show. In fact, the superintendent slapped her for talking back to the "Good Niggro," while the latter stood by grinning and chided her for talking back to a "white gentmun." Eight teachers of the school immediately resigned and an indignant furor was quickly brewed among the self-respecting Colored people and the fair minded white people of the little city of Wilson. These made it so hot for Reid that he promptly took to tall timber and a friend of his from a nearby village, Prof. Epps, who had come over to help him, was also soon in precipitate flight before his outraged people. All the local press is with the Colored people and funds have been freely subscribed to carry out their determination to secure redress for the wrong committed. Rev. H. B. Taylor, a highly educated and fearless Negro minister, is foremost in the flight for justice and is ably assisted by other citizens. The superintendent has been indicted and is now out upon bond awaiting trial in the superior court. The Colored people are determined that such abuses shall cease and that an unscrupulous Negro teacher shall no longer have charge of their children's education simply because he caters to the vicious instincts of brutal wwhite people. It is creditable and is an omen of a new order of things that the better class of white citizens are also weary of these conditions and are openly demanding the removal of Superintendent Coon. The Sun has especially investigated this affair and its large constituency will wait with rayerful interest the outcome of the unfortunate incident and the complete vindication of the Colored teachers, atrons and children who have been so flagrantly imposed upon.

But you, sir, are not the child of accident. You pushed your way up from the depths of poverty and obscurity, through the cloaks and rocky surface of caste prejudice and other elements of an untoward environment to an enviable place in the ranks of the foremost men of our race. For this, I congratulate you, honor and respect you. Your record in the past as Superintendent of the Old City Hospital is an assurance to an admiring constituency that your part during the present administration will be performed to the satisfaction of everybody concerned.

That Mr. Dudley has both ability as well as persistence, is evidenced by the fact that he placed in the hands of Hon. Emmett J.

Y.—"Skoy" is a full-blooded timber wolf belonging to Addison Mizner, but he doesn't know it, and believes himself to be a pet dog and is fully as tame and playful the chow dogs which are the pet of the Mizner establishment. Skoy was born in the Bronx zoo two years ago. His mother was a full-blooded Siberian wolf that had been given to the zoo by Prince Paul Troubetskoy. Out of compliment to the prince the officials presented him one of her whelps and the generous Russian in turn presented him to Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian. This is how "Skoy" got his name, an abbreviation of the Russian name of Troubetskoy. The baby wolf was three weeks old when he cock home at Great Neck. However, a trip abroad arrangements, and Hitchcock prevailed upon Addis at his kennels at Port Washington. So Skoy was a chows and has grown up exactly like a dog.

"I think I shall take a walk and get some of the flowers that always come out this time of year," said a little girl to her mother. "I want some violets and trailing arbutus flowers, and there will be some tiny ferns and perhaps some star flowers. SUN "Oh, there are always so many in the spring and each year I see old favorites I'd almost forgotten all about." Mr. Wind Laughed. The day was clear and cool, though it was spring. A big sun was trying his best to keep things warm, for old Mr. North Wind was laughing so hard at some jokes his children, the breezes, were cracking. And when Mr. North Wind laughs—oh, how cold it is! His chuckles and smiles are chilly, but his laugh is very cold indeed. He was happy, too, at being around at this time of the year. He had been giving the South Wind entirely too much of a good time. He hadn't been fair to himself. Now he would be, he vowed, as he blew cold air all about him. He hasn't a great deal of use for his cousin, the South Wind, nor for the South Wind's family, for they are entirely too gentle and mild to suit him. So Mr. Sun was having hard work on this day to keep it warm for the earth people and the children, and especially so for the little girl who went in search of the spring flowers. "They have been thinking lately that they were all through with the cold weather, Mr. North Wind," Mr. Sun said. Now Mr. North Wind was usually called Mr. Wind. He liked that better, because it made it appear that there was only one wind—at least only one wind of any real importance. "Well," said Mr. Wind, "it's about time they got used to me. They had me all winter, and instead of being glad when I left on a visit they should have been very sad. They should be happy now that I'm back. "And I had such nice visitors this winter. I shared my visitors, too, like the good, old generous soul that I am. I have always stuck to my friends anyway and blown them about so other folks could enjoy them. "I never could understand how creatures could forever keep changing their friends. I like the same ones." "That's true," said Mr. Sun; "you do like the same ones." "What joy it was," continued Mr. Wind, "when my friend, Prince Sleet, visited me. He did not stay all winter, but now and again he came to see me. He loved coming at the same time that the King of the Clouds and the Army of Raindrops chose for giving their big party for King Blizzard and King Snow." "Oh," sighed Mr. Sun, "I remember all your visitors. What work I did have to do this winter! Oh, dear, oh, dear. I almost feel as if I couldn't shine any more, thinking of how tired I sometimes got." And Mr. Sun hid his face behind a cloud and two great tears fell to the earth. "Dear me," said the little girl, "I am afraid it is going to rain, and I won't be able to get my flowers. But, never mind, I shall go anyway. I think that Mr. Sun looks as if he had only gone behind a cloud for a minute." "That's the way to talk about me," said Mr. Sun beaming and shining again with all his might. "I do like to be appreciated. That's what I like. To have the children glad to see me, and to have them feel badly when they think I have gone away." RT "You mustn't get discouraged these days," said Mr. Wind. "Winter is past, and all I can do is to talk about it. This is just a lit- "I Am Afraid it is all I can do is to Going to Rain." talk about it. This is just a little cold snap I am giving you to let you know that I'm still thinking about you!" Mr. Wind laughed one of his chilly laughs. "That's so," said Mr. Sun. "Summer is coming and spring is really here even if you have come back to have a little talk about your winter friends. I can't agree with you when you talk of your friends, Prince Sleet, King Blizzard and King of the Clouds, especially old Cloud King. We aren't friendly at all. It's not because we don't like each other. It's just because his ways aren't mine, and mine aren't his. He makes the rain and his children are raindrops. And the sun and the rain don't hob-nob together except once in a great while when our dear friend the Rainbow comes out to make peace. But I must pay attention to shining now for the dear little girl who is picking flowers and who loves the big sunny world!" And Mr. Wind took the hint and whistled a good-bye! The Housewife and the War (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) A FIRELESS COOKER FOR THE WARM DAYS Material Needed for Making a Fireless Cooker. FIRELESS COOKER IS EASILY MADE Used With Kerosene Stove as Starter Kitchen Is Made More Habitable. TIME AND FUEL ARE SAVED Device Is Warm Weather Comfort in Any Household—Food May Be Left Cooking Without Any Worry as to the Results. The fireless cooker is a warm weather comfort in most any kitchen. Used in conjunction with a kerosene stove, it means not only economy in fuel but it makes the kitchen a more habitable place when the warm days come. Fireless cookers are now being made and used in hundreds of homes in town and country. What is more pleasing to the housekeeper to put her dinner in the fireless cooker before she goes to town or market and to find it ready for serving when she returns? Advantages of Cooker. Advantages of Cooker. The fireless cooker offers several advantages. The first is economy of time, as the housekeeper may leave the food cooking without worrying about the result while she is engaged in other household duties or while she is away from home. Some foods are improved by long cooking at relatively low temperature. The texture and flavor of tougher cuts of meats, old, tough fowl and ham are improved by slow cooking. Cereals and dried legumes and dried fruits are more palatable and wholesome when cooked for a long time. Soups and stews are delicious when cooked in the cooker. Baking, however, cannot be done very conveniently and satisfactorily in the ordinary homemade fireless cooker. Economy of Fuel. In some sections of the country economy of fuel must be an important consideration. The food for the cooker may be started on a wood or coal range when the morning meal is being prepared. The food to be cooked is first heated to boiling point on the stove in the cooking vessel and then this vessel, covered with a tight lid, is quickly placed in the cooker where the cooking continues. The cooker is so constructed that the heat does not escape. For long cooking it is necessary to place in the cooker under the cooking vessel a hot radiator. A soapstone is the best radiator and can be purchased at most hardware stores at 50 cents. A stove lid, a brick, or disk made of concrete, hented and placed in the cooker, may serve as the radiator. When Cooking by Fireless. Don't let the food or disk cool before you put them in the fireless. The food will not cook unless there is enough heat shut up with it. Reheat the food that requires long cooking, if it cools before it is finished. Reheat the food before serving, if necessary. A small quantity of food cools quickly, so either use the disks or put The Completed Fireless Cooker. a small vessel containing the food in the regular cooking vessel and surround it with hot water. Soapstone disks will increase the usefulness of your cooker. They can be heated hotter than the boiling point of water and when shut up in the fireless furnish heat which cooks the food. If you made your fireless according to directions, you can safely use the disks. Heat them very hot, but do not let them get red hot, for fear of cracking. With one below and one on top of the cooking vessel you will be able to roast meat or even to bake bread or puddings. Without the disks your fireless is useful only for certain kinds of food—cereals, beans, pot roasts, stews, etc. A tightly built box, an old trunk, a galvanized-iron ash can, a candy bucket, a tin lard can, a lard tub, and a butter firkin are some of the containers that have been used successfully in the construction of fireless cookers. The inside container or nest which holds the vessel of hot food may be a bucket of agate, galvanized-iron or tin. This nest must be deep enough to hold the radiator and the vessel of food but not large enough to leave much space, as the air space will cool the food. The inside container must have a tight-fitting cover, and straight sides are desirable. The packing or insulation must be some material which is a poor conductor of heat. The following materials may be used and they should be dry: Lint cotton, cotton-seed hulls, wool, shredded newspaper, Spanish moss, ground cork, hay, straw, and excludor. Sheet asbestos one-eighth inch thick and heavy cardboard have proved to be the best lining for the outer container and the wrapping for the nest. Heavy wrapping paper or several sheets of newspaper may be used for lining the outer container, but the nest should be wrapped with asbestos or heavy cardboard to prevent the hot stone scorching or burning the packing. It is well to have the outside container large enough to permit four inches of packing below and around the sides of the nest. If a cooker is being made with two nests, six inches of packing should be allowed between the nests. Pack into the bottom of the lined outer container four inches of the packing. Place the nest or inside container wrapped with asbestos or heavy cardboard and hold steady while the packing is put around tightly and firmly until it reaches the top of the nest. Make a collar, as shown in illustration, of cardboard, sheet asbestos, or wood to cover the exposed surface of the insulating material. This collar should fit tightly. Make-a cushion which when filled with the packing will be at least four inches thick and will fill completely the space between the top of the nest and the lid of the outside container. It should fit against the top tightly enough to cause pressure when the lid is closed. The outside of the fireless cooker can be made more attractive by staining or painting it. The lid may be held in place by screen-door hooks and eyes. The cooker may be placed on casters so that it can be easily moved. Fireless Cooker.

I'M AFRAID YOU ARE A FLATTERER Casually glimpsed, the shop stands for a very small pebble with which some venturesome David is fighting a big, strange-tongued Goliath whom he calls the New World—but you can't always depend on glimpses. If you had seen David, the other day, say, standing in his open door with one foot resting over the other ore more than one enemy, with his machine in flames perhaps, realizes as he nears his home grounds that, officially, he has nothing to show for his prowess, The great Gay is still afar off—the day when his fellow alr- men, already arrived at the “ace” stage, will wel- come him as one of themseives—when his relatives and friends at home, and all the world, indeed, will recognize that he is a fighting aviator of France, out of the amateur class forever, Lieut. Constant Souller, known as the “Ben- Jamin” of the French aces, who has come to this country to show the people of the United States dust what the fighting airmen of France are able to do in the way of flying, like most of the other great French airmen, found that winning the “ace” was not the task of a day, but he won it, although: {t took the bringing down of 12 machines actually before the coveted “official” five were marked to his credit, says a writer in the New York Herald, He does not look itke a veteran of the western front, this hero of many air battles, He seems much more Ike a pleasant Itttle military schoolboy. He ts small, with an amazingly youthful face, and although he fs serious and dignified, tt ts with the algnity and seriousness of a boy, such as 1s gulte in keeping with his simple and straightforward manner. But on the breast of this modest, boyish young officer gleam medals which speak eloquently of extraordinary valot—the Medallle Militaire, the Croix de la Virtu Militaire of Roumania and the Croix de Guerre of France with seven palms and @ golden star, ‘These honors the little ace’earned before he was twenty years old, for before that time he had accomplished 430 hours of flight, had fought 66 battles in the alr, had killed or wounded a score of enemy aviators and had brought down 15 enemy machines, His citations in orders and in special government communications cover two closely typewritten pages. A student at the Ecole Polytechnic in Paris when the war began, Constant Souller found it impossible at first to enter the service of his coun- try as a volunteer, as he was not considered in sufficiently good health by the military authorities, Also he was but seventeen years old. Presently, however, he succeeded In overcoming these objec tions and became a volunteer in the artillery, He was placed in the Twenty-first regiment at An- gouleme, But while in the artillery training camp, lke so many very young patriots, he became intensely interested in the new arm of the service. He felt keenly that his vocation was not for the artillery but that he must become an airman. He suc- ceeded In persuading the authorities to transfer him to the aviation corps and became a student at the school at Longvic, He was transferred to Pau in March, 1916, and two months afterward obtained the coveted brevet of pilot. He had studied devotedly at the school and was a notably promising aviator cadet. While at the school he was much liked by the older men, and one day en episode occurred which pleased them greatly. Young Souller found his machine taken in the eddy of another alr- plane which was flying over him. He was blown to the earth with. violence, His machine was broken to pieces, and the witnesses of the accl- dent, without waiting to investigate, immediately sent in a call for a medical officer, Imagine thelr amazement when they saw the student aviator issue from the debris of his ma- chine without a serateh, ‘There are no more superstitious people any- where than the men of the aviation corps of all the armies, And it was after this episode that the older aviators declared to one another that he was born to triumph, ‘The flying school training was followed by a course at the school of mitrailleurs at Cazeau. In June, 1916, Souller was appointed to the Es- eudrille N-26, under Commandant Brocard. ‘The aviator remembers always his first engage ment, for no matter how extensive his practice has been at the school {t takes different petsonal qual- {ties to enable a man to hold his own against the enemy. No matter how well he may have done in practice, {t 1s felt that the actual test of the aviator’s ability must come In battle, Souller had no easy task In his first engage- ment. With « comrade, like himself, a novice, he was ordered on patrol. Soon they were envel- oped in clouds, but as they eame out of this snowy bank they were for the first time in the presence of the enemy, ‘They were confronted by two Fokkers, which were at that time considered very much to be feared. Souller opened fire, but his mitrailleuse was not firmly fastened in place, and with the first fire It shifted, striking him in the head and almost knock- ing him out by the shock, But he held hia own, piloting with one hand and with the other try- ing to hold his mitrailleuse In place, Although the gun struck him with each discharge, he was able to keep. in the fight until the adversary, his cartridges exhausted, abandoned the fight, The French airmen then regained their lines, Some time after this Soulier, who had then become a sergeant, brought down In two succes- sive days two German Drachens, one at the wood of Yuux and the other east of Mesni) Saint-Nibaise.

To get the second Drachen Souller had to de- scend to an altitude of 400 meters, and attack very close to theenemy, His machine was shelled, but he succeeded In forcing the enemy to earth, The enemy observer sought to escape, but was Killed because his parachute falled to work properly. October 16 proved to be one of the bustest days of Sergeant Souller’s career. Since entering the service he had been engaged in working in the region of the Somme. The wood of Saint Pierre Vast was then a favorite meeting ground for ae- rial combats, Since starting out in the morning on this particular occasion Souller had engaged in six combats with enemy machines, and had forced one of them to make a landing near Bour- chayesnes. At the conclusion of this series of com bats he suddenly encountered three aviatiks, By the adroit manipulation of his machine, for which he is famous, and which has led his government to send him to this country as an exemplar of “stunt” flying, Soulier succeeded in keeping out of the way of'the other two of these machines while attacking and forcing to earth the third, On this occasion luck was with him in every way, for the aviatik was brought down within the French lines and the infantry recognized the French scout, so that there was no difficulty in ‘obtaining an offictal confirmation, In the course of reconnaissance with a com- rade to the cast of Peronne over enemy terrl- tory Soulier suffered a reverse of fortune a few days later, Three airplanes launched themselves in the direction of the two French machines, and Soulier's comrade, badly wounded, was soon obliged to abandon the combat. As Souller pre- pared to attack, his machine shivered violently. A blade of his propeller had been broken by a charge from the enemy mitrailleuse, The en- counter took place at a height of 3,000 meters, Souller’s damaged inachine spiralled and fell more than a thousand meters, Feeling himself lost if the motor detached it- self the pilot cut off the power, corrected the ma- chine, and let himself fall vertically so as not to involve the motor. By good luck a wind from the east carried him within the French lUnes and \ he was succored by the fpfantry and brought back to camp under enemy fire. His injuries were merely bruises from which he soon recovered. ‘The good luck of the Benjamin of the aces did not desert him, for some time later in returning to camp in the darkness at four o'clock in the nrorning {t was necessary for him to make @ landing without a light. His machine crashed to the ground, but he again extricated himself trom the debris practically unhurt. In December, 1916, Souller was again cited in orders for operations against the enemy in Cham- pagne, including the bringing down of an en- emy machine and firlog on an enemy column, In the spring of 1917 Brocard’s scouts were sent to the environs of Fisme, and Couller, with the other members of the N-26, went into quarters near Bonne Maison. A large number of enemy vistors, well equipped with new machines, were operating in the vicinity. ‘May 26, 1917, was another busy day for Souller, His work began in the morning by starlight while he was patrolling the region of d'Anifontaine and Ks rage an enemy airplane, he it down with a few charges, but, as so THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1918.

In the afternoon he went up again, and, by no means discouraged with his morning's ex- perience, he went to look for the enemy in the neighborhood of the reservoir. He was not long in appearing.’ Soulier soon saw fn his path an albatross biplane with three mi- trailleuses, Following his usual tactics, Souller dropped from the altitude in which he was fly- ing, always very high, and swiftly pursued the enemy. The albatross sought to escape from at- tack, but was overtaken by a light charge, and fell, spreading itself out on the earth and taking fire. The deed was done, but again the pilot look- ed about him for spectators who might supply the confirmation necessary to his official recognition. Unfortunately again there was no one who had seen his triumph. Souller, however, hardly had time to indulge in bitter reflections before a new danger and @ new opportunity presented ttself. Some kilometers further on he perceived a mag- nificent observation balloon, lighted by the rays of the setting sun, Where the Drachens are there are also the bursts of shrapnel, and toward the middle of these clouds of black smoke Souller guided his machine, carrying it through the marvelous evolutions of which he is master. Again fate was against him, for as he fired his twentieth cartridge his mi- trailleuse stopped, and there wad nothing for the pilot to do but to return to his own camp. Turning with the object of making for home quarters, Soulier saw himself beset by new ene- mies, Two thousand meters above his head four en- emy alrplanes circled, ‘One of them came on at full speed and at 200 meters opened fire on him, It is at such moments as these that the acro- patic flyer finds himself at the height of his glory. With every nerve taut, with every bit of skill in play, he turns, twists and circles his way out of such difficulties, and when he comes through them successfully tastes for a moment a glory almost unknown to other men. A slide down the wing, a loop, then all the ga- mut of beautifully executed maneuvers—whose most valuable quality is thelr faculty of keeping the enemy guessing where the machine will be in the next second—and Souller had succeeded in showing his heels to the enemy. ‘Then, guiding himself with one hand and repatring his mitrall- leuse with the other, while at the same time he continued his series of acrobatics, Soulller winged his way to the French lines, succeeding in throw- ing off the first one and then another of his ad- versarles. To complete his mischance his motor weakened He had only one resource—to do the death drop. He let himself fall in spirals, and the Bosches, believing that he had been sent down, beat thelt wings as {f in a dance of Joy. ‘Then suddenly the “dead” French aviator right ed himself, began to arm anew his mitrailleuse and with a last shot at his enemy, regained hi lines, able at last to say “alone.” The toils and dangers of this terrible day hac counted for nothing, however, on the official ree ord of the young aviator, but the following day although his activities were by no means 60 con tinuous, was to bring him the substantial recogni tion that every war aviator longs for. By the same bright star as that of the day be fore he started on a morning flight, passing rapid ly over the enemy trenches. Presently percelving a D, F, W. scout machine, he attacked it vigor ously. In these single combats in which only two ma chines take part the fight is usually very soor over, In three minutes the enemy had been beat en, the machine fell in flames andthe two avia tors were crushed on the ground.

Johnson, president. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The last two Sundays were the beginning and ending of a very helpful and encouraging week with the church. The first of the week, most of the Methodist pastors of Greater Kansas City and some of their members were with us and gave us a real Methodist financial "start off." Rev. G. F. Griffin preached a simple, practical sermon, based upon "Thus Saith the Lord." It was truly a great message delivered in an effective manner. The other pastors spoke words of helpfulness. Prof. Lee of Lincoln High School helped us greatly with his presence and usual words directing to higher ground. He represented the Baptist Brotherhood in the meeting and said "That the pastor of the Second Christian Church himself were the only Baptist ministers present." It was a great fellowship meeting. The financial report for the day was very satisfactory.....The Aid Society followed this service with three nights entertainment with splendid social and financial results.....The quilt contest closed on Wednesday night with Mrs. Herman Kinsler, winner. Mrs. Harriet Robinson won the second prize and it was very evident she would have won the first had her husband been present or would have made Mrs. Kinsler use her husband to a much greater degree. The quilt was donated by Mrs. Tina Kincaid, 1605 Virginia, and brought the church $146.46. The total amount raised in the "Midway Rally" so far is not quite half of the amount of our last note, due July 1, 1918, but the result gives us good ground for hope and inspiration for greater efforts and the healthy indication is we will "Go Over the Top" the last Sunday in June....The church and ministers wish to heartily thank the pastors and churches who took fellowship with them and also those who were not able to be present and friends for their kind and helpful consideration and fellowship....The minister's son was on the street and heard the remark by an unknown grown person "That all the Christian Church could do was sing and raise money." So at any time, if any of the kind pastors and churches need either of these call on us and we will try to save the integrity (?) of the not informed or misinformed, unkind, careless street talker....We are preparing to make next Sunday "Mothers' Day"; truly a day of respect and reverence for Motherhood and to assist Mothers in securing a larger and effective fellowship in maintaining the mother's influence over a large number....We cordially invite all who are a son or daughter of a mother, to come and help make it truly a Mother's Day. JAMISON TEMPLE C. M. E. CHURCH Sunday was a happy day at the above place, being the first Sunday and Communion Day also, and many communicants being present, two-thirds of the entire membership was present and communed at the altar. Rev. N. T. Walker preached a soul stirring sermon on "Truth," which brought many Amens and shouts from the congregation. Five sinners rose in the audience and came forward and asked the pastor to pray for them. Brother Partee and Brother Milton Burnett are on the sick list. The sweet little baby of J. M. Silvers is on the mend, which is pleasing to his many friends. The Junior Stewards are putting themselves on record as part of the running gear of Jamison Temple. The dinners that are being served at the church are very pleasing. We are serving on the same days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. If you need any inspiration in church work, visit the various boards of our church. The banquet that was given by the Jamison Temple Crusaders on last Tuesday evening in honor of pastor and wife was a grand affair indeed. The program was graced with the following distinguished persons: Hon-C. H. Calloway, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Hon. N. C. Crews, Mrs. Dora B. Walker and many others. Music was furnished by the famous O. F. and Ruth Choir, which was charming indeed. Prof. Moore deserves credit for his wonderful ability as a musician. Mrs. W. H. Nickins seemed to have been at her best with her charming voice.
