Western A GRAND P 10,000 Negroes Crowd O View Great Spectacle o strating Activities of t School Pertaining 500 School Children Took Part a ish and Aesthetic Dances, Sur and Setting an Unreachable S By Chas. A. Starks. They were there, ten thousand strong! A grander sight was never looked upon by this good old race of ours in greater Kansas City. It was at Convention Hall; where else could it be? The Colored people were there waiting and watching and when the first float of the Pageant swung like gliding magic into the presence of that great crowd, "the spirit of 1918," became a frenzy. And they came float after float picturing and demonstrating the all-important thoughts of the day. If the Kaiser himself in some way could have peered through the roof of the hall and took note of all that was passing he probably would have been astounded at what he would have discovered. He would have asked himself: "What manner of people is this?" By Kaiser! I thought America a white Nation! But surely it is black! And those dusky figures bearing arms surely I've seen those around Verdun. They look like the black hordes the English and French turned loose on my noble boche in that wonderful battle. But here's a new menace, these folks here, I must stop this!" The old gent would have given his immortal mustache a wrench and gone his way with misgivings. But watchman what of the night? Outside it was a trifle cool though at intervals an emmollient breath would come caressingly, a pleasant reminder of awaking spring. On the inside all is aglow. The bright lights charm away every vestige of night and with their own mingled hues turn the orange and green ceiling into a dazzling canopy of glory discovering the steely arms which sustain and girdle the mass of roof overtop. High up in the North end of the building, done I nred, white and blue incandescent lights stand two flags bristling and drumming their silent language of patriotism and loyalty to the stars and stripes forever! This time there were no vacant seats, all were filled. Late arrivals had to stand in the passageways of the balconies, while all around the big arena sat a solid ring of black humanity appreciative of the five hundred youthful performers of Lincoln High School and in return appreciated by them. It was a fine, grand crowd! Intelligent, our best. It was good natured. Bright, happy, joyous with the impulse of the moment. In one of the brief lulls the audience took a sportive turn when it cheered the big and venerable custodian of the Lincoln High School building who walked across the arena to the orchestra in the execution of some order. The people seemed in excellent humor and showed a just pride in the performance at every pointed detail. Lee's Organization. Lee's Organization. Before we give our brief review of the exercises, we call your attention to the Sociological aspects of this event, because we are apt to overlook these portents of our social development. For instance, only three years ago our big social as well as educational affair was the commencement exercises of the High School, held in a building which was signally inadequate. This has been remedied by securing the Master hall which is supremely sufficient. This also has helped to inspire and foster several great gatherings within a year. This coming together in large intelligent numbers will tend to give us, in the course of time, a big National spirit, a most desirable thing. We owe much to Principal Lee of the School in question. He has changed the drift and tenor of the Institution. One success The Kansas City Sun after another has marked his executive years. Where psychological lore and vaunting scholarship suffered the community spirit to lay dormant this "plain blunt man" soon shocked it into an activity that has put Kansas City on the map of live, pulsing Negro Schools. Those who cannot see in this an organizing mind should wake up and rub their eyes. Smith's All Sufficiency. When we go to France we could appreciate being under such officers as N. Clark Smith, in whom we think we see a noble strain of that natural dignity and brotherhood which characterized our ancient progenitors. We have always admired a certain austerity in others. A disciplinary force. A pronounced ability to train youth or adult. I think I see these things in our Major. A correct understanding of music; a passion for gruelling raw material into form in short periods; a habit of faking good everywhere he goes seems to characterize this man. If we appear liberal in these statements, why ask the pickaninny band that went to Australia, ask the old 8-Illinois, ask the great Tuskegee Institute, ask Western University and coming home, ask Kansas Cityans, Di dyou enjoy "Joan of Arc," "Over There" and others? When the Cadet Band played "The Star Spangled Banner" and strains swelled in mighty accord in your soul as you arose with others in glorious respect, you probably noticed the brilliantly executed attack on this grand anthem by the youthful but trained musicians. We owe that pleasure largely to Smith, although the Major urges the fine intelligence of his boys as an asset in his work we are still inclined to give him great credit for pruning the crudities of youthful geniuses and insisting on a spirit of application and study. Miss Mack's Art. There are many people of genius and art who are not heralded by the newspapers or other schemes of exploitation. These, through some timidity, modesty or unfavoring circumstance come slowly and with difficulty to public light. In the course of art and destiny, this does not matter so much because you cannot forever dow nmerit. It is another name for the truth and by their fruits ye shall know them. We canfess that we were unaware that we had a teacher who leaned so strongly to the esthetic side of the dance. Certainly we were far from imagining that we had one who could ably demonstrate this highly artistic sense in such a signal manner and on such an elaborate scale as this lady has done. All glory then to Miss Jeanette Mack. A Brief Review. A bugle call broke upon the audience in clear golden notes summoning the cadets to set up drill, which was accomplished with dispatch! The immediate exercises were exhilarating. No. 3 consisted of folk dances under the direction of physical training cadets. These were nicely drawn out with attractive youthful daintiness. No. 5 the girls relay game proved interesting. No. 6 competition drill, girls and boys—discarding our affected chivalry we proceed to give the boys the palm. In their maneuvers the boys drilled with characteristic vim and precision and went through several intricate evolutions without confusion. The girls, however, showed a brilliance in their formations near the approaches. That compact, rhythmic sway was admirable. Once, while the boys were leaving the arena to the tune of Joan of Arc the girls entered in a glory of KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1918. even step and a spirit worthy of you Oh Maid of Orleans! Thou once daughter but now mother of France. No. 7, Girls Combination wands and dumb bells. All went well and grandly. The music played merrily along and the pretty girls sang along with it in silent motion, swinging here and there, leaping up, now back, turning gracefully, kneeling and bending to the floor, rising together in perfect unison and sounding bell against bell, wand against wand, while all performers bent backward and forward in matchless, tuneful style. No. 8, Boys Battalion—Inspection and Review—developed seeming satisfaction to their commanding officer, certainly satisfaction to their commanding officer, certainly to the audience. No. 9, Girls—Indian Clubs directed by a physical training cadet. The writer wishes to commend the girl that performed directly in front of the South entrance. There was positive precision, grace and ease in here execution. The Sham Battle was great, new, realistic, inspiring. Its execution was characterized by a fitting hustle and bustle and an energy fully showing important phases of war. "Youth's Frivolities." Eternal youth as it is frolicsome and blithesome is a joy unto itself and all, when clothed in the beautiful sunshine of purity. We cannot picture in infinite detail the complete story that the extended ballet narrated in glowing and beautiful numbers. All we attempt is to recall the scene as a whole. We close our eyes and think back to last Friday night and see the flitting visions pass and repass in effusions of poetic time and coy step. They skip, bow, swing and turn and bow again. These daughters, some as sable and lovely as midnight when the quiet beautiful stars bristle down from the sky, some brown and gold as the varying ears of sun-kissed corn all move to the matchless spell of music—music that would inspire trees to dance if they had soul-heart and temperament as these children of the happy. The scene is a delightful one. Youth, music and freedom—a blessing, an elixir—a joy. The pleasures and gayety of childhood—a near approach to heaven for of "such is the kingdom," said the Master. The story is fascinating to dancer and observer alike. The "aesthetic" numbers leaped out prominently for attention. What is the aesthetic? The aesthetic is art which has reached a sere state of perfection where a crude thought may not enter its holy sanctum, where the ideal and the ideal's lover become one in expression and blend a happy wedding like the fair morning with the solemn day. So the freshmen blended with "Marche Mignon." So the great chorus with the "Polka Fantastique. So the "village" flirted the soul of "happy hours" and danced and danced the spirit, of joon finely poised toe, and so danced the "wedding party." The Minors were none the less artistic in their delineations. "Pierrot and Pierette" brought a fine atmosphere of rumor. The "Spanish" dance naturally had its castillon air of grandeur. One dark beauty was strikingly Spanish in her general makeup. She came from the south entrance as if from Sunny Spain itself, now the land of Jack Johnson! The "Golden Butterflies" were all dreamy, fairy-like creations flitting indeed, capriciously with the wavy winds of music. The unpronounceable (Pavlowa Gavotte) we are told calls for much rehearsing on the part of professionals who use it in their classic roles, yet we, in our humble way, found no Lincoln High School May 1 Final Community 2 O'C (Note the change The Honorable JAMES York City, will address the Meeting of the year.

The mingled-hued daughters ecstasied in "revelier" and finaled with a conglomerated "Russian Social Waltz." Notes on the Event.

Hear him. G. N. Grisham was a masterpiece and fully maintained the intellectual standard of this distinguished citizen. The display by the various industrial departments was both elaborate and surprising and many were the congratulations showered upon Acting President French for the wonderful results obtained under the most trying circumstances. At the conclusion of the program the announcement was made by the Bishop of the election of the Rev. F. Jesse Peck of Topeka, Kan., as President of the University and it is expected by both faculty and trustees that the Institution will be taxed to its utmost capacity to care for the large number of students who will attend next year. Bishop Parks has proven himself a giant in developing the work of the Institution and Western University has never seen such prosperous and propitious times as it is now enjoying.

PROCLAIM BAN ON CIGARETTE Coterie of Indianapolis Women Think They Have Good Reason for Joining Crusade Against It. That the cigarette must be eliminated is the firm conviction of a large number of women in the northern part of the city, not only because they believe it is injurious in itself, but also in view of the fact that it is interfering with certain phases of war work and is proving a disturbing factor in social affairs. It is recognized that the problem is a big one, and it may be that the first activity may be anatomical and directed at "places" over which parents have undisputed jurisdiction. This movement was determined on the other afternoon when a North side matron invited in a few friends and neighbors to knit, sew or darn as they wished, to hear some music and drink a cup of tea. Some of the guests permitted their little boys to go over to Mrs. McPherson's to play while the mammas were gone. When the Hooverized function was well under way there was a knock at the door and Master McPherson inquired whether "Miss" Gregg was there. "Better come over to our house and get Jack, for he's awful sick," was his announcement. Mrs. Gregg seized her wraps and made a bee line to rescue Jack. A little later she returned to the party and responded to anxious inquiries with a smile, saying: "He's better now, and I don't think it's serious." There was another violin number, and Mrs. Redough had just poured a few cups of tea, when the telephone rang. The hostess answered the call and then paged Mrs. Wrong. It was Mrs. McPherson herself. "Your little boy's here, and he's quite ill. He's perfectly rigid, and I'm frightened," she said. Mrs. Wrong also dashed forth to give succor to her offspring. She, too, returned after a while, and seemed rather put out. She forestalled the impending questions by announcing: "Cigarettes! I'll finish the treatment later." Mrs. Wagoner had just finished reheeling a sock and the function was about to close when the telephone rang again, and Mrs. Redough was summoned. It was her husband. "Now don't you tell me that you have been smoking cigarettes and are sick," she almost shouted. "No, no, dearie. Don't get excited. I am all right," he assured her. "I don't want to break up the party, but if you wish to go to the show, you'd better be getting down here."—Indianapolis News. Gloomy Russian Writers According to Charles Gray Shaw in the North American Review, Russian fiction is not gloomy so much because it represents actual Russian conditions, but because Russian writers are by nature gloomy. At least that he believes to be true of Dostoevsky, the subject of his article, for he says: "It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God, but that is what happened to Fydor Dostolevsky. It was not Russia, vast, fantastic, terrible, but real existence as such which wring from his soul his tales of self-inquisition. 'Reality has caught me upon a hook;' this chance expression in one of his romances of reality is the confessed secret of the anguished author. Dostolevsky is Russia, and 'the Russian soul is a dark place.' Having said this of his own land. Dostolevsky, without playing upon Amiel's pretty epigram, 'the landscape is a state of the soul,' proceeds to show us how the outer darkness pervades his own soul. He knows not why, but at dusk there comes over him an oppressive and agonizing state of mind difficult to define, but recognizable in the form of 'mystical terror.'" These Ships Laid Up. "A Dutch East Indian cannot help smiling when he finds fear expressed that the German and Austrian ships in East Indian harbors might run out to sea as raiders," said a Hollander who is in New York on business. "Forty steamships flied into our harbors. In the Emma harbor and the Queen's Bay at Panang are lying the Van Kleist and Rhineland of the North German Lloyd, the Ninive of the Hamburg-American line and the Orsowa, an Austrian boat from Flume. "These ships will require no more watching because of the luxuriant growth of shell and coral. The steamships must now be covered with a layer of coral and shell from thirty to forty inches thick. About two years ago attempts were made to move the Von Kleist, but no greater speed than five knots could be got out of her, although the ship originally had a speed of twenty knots."—New York Sun. Donate Sponges to Red Cross. The Greek-American sponge fishermen at Tarpon Springs, Fla., have made one of the most unique gifts that the American Red Cross has yet received. Each fishing captain, as his boat unloaded, contributed a bunch of sponges to the lot being gathered for the Red Cross. The sponges were sold for $89 at public auction on the Sponge exchange, the only public square sponge market in the United States. The money was sent to the Red Cross. City and Village Delinquents. Recently the Journal of Delinquency declared that in one state the villages rather than the cities furnished a larger proportionate share of delinquents. JUDGE MILES BULGER, Presiding Judge of the Jackson County Court. RED CROSS CHAPTER. Many persons not residing near, do not know and many passing have wondered what kind of a school, home or institution has been occupying the beautiful corner of Masonic Temple at 18th and Woodland, therefore the ladies have chosen this way of introduction to those persons. Our ladies, under the leadership of Mrs. T. G. McCampbell, realizing that in this great war of Democracy that the Colored race has the greatest part to play as they expect to reap great things when peace shall have been declared. Therefore relatives, friends, and race lovers saw fit to form a Red Cross Auxiliary, for which we have since received a Charter and are now numbered among the many Red Cross Chapters of the United States. The way has always been clear in this organization as we all know that the price of coal and other things were at the top most prices, but through the kind assistance of our good friends and race lovers so many that space would not permit us to name, we have existed through the winter months, but we would not feel appreciative if we did not especially mention our kind Masonic Fraternity, who has given us the use of the store room free of charge, also Prof. Lee, who allowed the Finance Committee to take collection at the Community Meeting. We hope to prove to those kind gentlemen and others that their kindness, although thrown to the winds, may cause some lonely boy in JUDGE MI Presiding Judge of th It is announced that Judge Miles Bulger, the popular and aggressive Presiding Judge of the County Court, will be a candidate for re-election to his present position. And The Sun, though a Republican paper in politics, has no hesitancy nor makes no apologies in announcing that it stands unequivocally for the popular Judge for this position and sincerely believes that in a spirit of gratitude for the many splendid things Judge Bulger has done for the race in this county during his term of office, that a large majority of the Negro voters will enthusiastically assist in returning him to this position. Never in the history of Jackson County has such just and the Trenches or Hospital to be happy. These Headquarters depend wholly upon the Finance Committee for their financial support, therefore, this committee, composed of twenty-five Kansas City ambitious ladies have to keep busy to keep the Chapter from dying. The general Chairman would be pleased to have anyone visit our headquarters and inspect the work and see just what our ladies are doing to help win this war of Democracy. There are more than 50 ladies who are giving their time to sew for the war suffering babes and invalids. The Chairman would also be pleased to have any lady young or old to help knit or sew. We nee dall of those who are able to assist us. We would also appreciate donations from anyone to do so. The Finance Committee will have a Military Benefit Tuesday night, May 21, 1918 at Lyric Hall. Admission 25c. We will be very pleased to see all the good people of Kansas City. We heartily beg your support. Again thanking you that have helped us and you and expecting to see you at the Military Benefit. Mrs. T. G. McCampbell, Gen. Chair Mrs. Louise Winn, Chairman Finance Committee. Mrs. Lillian Moore, Secry.

Governor Gardner did a fine thing in giving an honor prisoner at Jefferson City permission to go to Quindaro to witness the graduation of his daughter and the prisoner proved true to his trust by returning on schedule time. More and more avenues and oppor tunities are opening for capable peo ple of our race and much of the preju dice that formerly existed concerning the employment of Colored men and women in positions of responsibility and trust where they come in contact with the other race is rapidly disap pearing. So mote it be. Since the United States entered the war on April 2, 1917, our information is that 219 Negro men, women and children have been killed and lynched by mobs in addition to two white men, one of these being Robert Prager. Four Negroes were lynched in Alabama, 2 in Arkansas, 1 in Florida, 7 in Georgia, 1 in Kentucky, 11 in Louisiana, 3 in Mississippi, 1 in North Caro Iina, 2 in Oklahoma, 2 in South Caro Iina, 5 in Tennessee, 9 in Texas, 2 in Virginia, 1 in West Virginia, and 1 in Wyoming. In addition to these cases of lynching, 175 men, women and children were tortured, burned and killed at East St. Louis in July, 1917, and three Negroes were killed by a mob at Chester, Pa., in September, 1917. In some of these cases the lynchings were particularly atrocious. In Tennessee, for example, three men were burned at the stake, the burnings being accompanied by savage torturing. In one case, which occurred two weeks ago, the body of the victim was burned at the stake after having been lynched by hanging. HELP WANTED!

K. NO SECOND TABLE This Man Has Gone Back on Time-Honored Institution. Event of.His Youthful Days, in Which a Parson and a Barrel Stave Figured Prominently, Sourd Him Permanently. "Wonder if that measly custom of makin' children wait whenever in is company at the table is in force anywhere in civilization today?" asked Dunc," the barber. "Why?" asked the customer, who knew Dunc's falling. "That does not concern you now, does it?" He was about to say something else, but the latter was too close. "Not directly," replied Dunc, "but I was a victim of the cussed tall timber style so many times when I was a kid that I never have forgotten it." That was enough. The customer, a regular, knew that Dunc was in a reminiscent mood, so he closed his eyes and let the yarn unravel. "I never could understand the sense in such a fool custom. I never cared to eat with company. In fact, I preferred not to, as their presence interfered with my freedom of motion. I used to eat by the 'touch system'; that is, I never had to look. My father said I was a walkin' allegory of hunger. I have been intendin' for forty years to find out just what he meant, but somehow I haven't had the time. "Well, anyway, if mother had just given me a handout, anything in the form of food, I would have been willin' to eat it in the kitchen or the woodshed. But, no, we must wait and wait nice. There were five of us, each one just as empty as I always was. But if the children didn't wait nice the family wasn't in good standin' when I was a kid. "The worst lickin' I ever got was for bawlin' out a preacher when he took the last piece of chicken. Five of us were on the firing line just outside the dlin' room. I was in the first line trench, lookin' through the crack. After that salamander had finished his pie he said: 'Sister Beezer, you certainly cook the best fried chickin' of anyone I know. I'm not goin' to leave any for manners. I'm just goin' to take this last piece." "And it was the last piece and I knew it, for I had counted 'em from where I stood. I had that piece set and intended to grab it at the first charge of the bread line which I headed." "Why did he call your mother Mrs. Beezer? asked the customer. "Your name is Duncan, isn't it?" "Duncan McCarty Beezer," replied Dunc proudly, "that's it. Well, any way, I let an awful yelp out of me. I was hostile and told the preacher he didn't have any manners to leave. I got a wallopin' with a barrel stave, and nothin' to eat at all, and I always have been sore about that. "I swore then that if ever I grew up, got married and had children they'd get theirs if the company had to do on half rations. And I've kept that oath. The four Beezerats at my house never had to wait for their chow." Clemenceau's Way. M. Clemenceau, in his capacity of minister for war, is setting his house in order. No matter in hand of less than first-rate importance—and then he deals with it himself—is to take more than three days to settle. It is not a reform, it is a revolution, is the remark of those who have experienced the circumlocutions, delays and red tape of officialdom. "No longer is the head of a department to ask for written reports from his subordinates on insignificant questions, when a few minutes' conversation would settle the whole question. No longer is pen to be put to paper, and stacks of documents collected, when a simple telephone call would suffice." And as final proof that the order is griffe du Tigre, the Tiger's own mark, it may be added that departments are to be subjected to supervision when least expected, and that disregard for the three-days' rule will result in severe penalties for the persons concerned.—Christian Science Monitor. How He Got His Uniform He was a recruit in an aviation camp in Texas. Uniforms were short there, and many were forced to wear civilian clothes. One young man, who was especially resourceful, was missing from inspection one morning. "Where's Blank?" asked the lieutenant. "In his tent, sir," replied a friend. "He has no clothes." The lieutenant made haste to get to the tent. "What are you doing here without your clothes?" he shouted. "I borrowed the clothes I wore down here from a friend and promised to return them. Last night I boxed them up and sent them by express to his home." Needless to say the lieutenant soon "dug up" a uniform for the recruit. Put Ban on Chocolate Candy. The Paris Association of Chocolate Manufacturers, because of the shortage of sugar and as the result of an interview with the minister of food supply, has decided hereafter to make only tablet chocolate and to abandon entirely the production' of the various forms of chocolate candy. It has also requested that under these circumstances the importation of such products be likewise prohibited.

GO TO A Monito Hosiery HAPPENINGS in the BIG CITIES Illustrating the Difference Between Two Women Illustrating the Difference Between Two Women CHICAGO.—She waited while the butcher trimmed her lamb chops. And while he was doing it she confided to a woman who had ordered stew beef, that she was giving a tea to meet Mrs. Blank, and that her Cousin Maudie, they would break up and board, so she could have a decent meal without his everlasting din about helping to win the war. It was nothing in this world but an excuse for his meanness, and if she had known he was that sort of a man—and so on and so on. And when she had gone off the stew-beef woman felt called on to relieve her mind to an entirely strange customer next: "Did you hear the way that woman was going on? She's got as good a husband as ever walked and a nice little home with a sleeping porch and glass storm doors and an electric range—all paid for and in her name. Before she was married she clerked 'way up Seventh street, and had a hallroom across from mine. I was keeping company at the same time, and my Joe said from the first that poor Lou was facing trouble with his eyes shut and that she would never be contented, no matter what he done for her, and it's gospel true——" All of which set the entirely strange customer thinking thoughts as she went away with her purchase—hamburg, fresh ground, if you would care to know. And as a sensible thought is always worth passing on, here it is as the customer got it from a most wonderful, ancient lady who sat in that dusk we all know about, waiting for the dawn. It was such a way-back dusk that the customer had never even heard tell of hamburg, fresh ground—which, naturally, couldn't be expected to equal those artistically trimmed lamb chops—and this ancient lady remarked with a forgiving smile, "Ah, well, my dear, you know one is not rich in the things one has; real wealth consists of the ability to be satisfied with little and be contented and the consciousness of having tried to do one's duty."

At 640 ounces to a bushel of potatoes the price to the diner was $90 a bushel, or $2.50 a pound. I can buy potatoes in a cash store at a cent and a half a pound. "Somebody said the country has a 90,000,000-bushel potato crop going to rot because people won't eat them. Now, if the restaurants would pool in and buy this crop and deal it out at 15 cents an ounce, the proceeds would be $8,600,000,000. The excess profits and income taxes from the restaurants would be enough to run the war three months and the potato crop would be absorbed. "In justice to this restaurant I must hasten to add that they did not emulate some patriotic hotels and charge me ten cents for two ounces of bread and a pat of butter."

"Hey! Does anyone there think of some way of moving the babies ahead." That's a fair sample of what the mothers say. A fair-minded method would seem to be to just chuck the kid into its bunk by what the clock says, and not what he feels, and haul him out again by the clock—make him run on daylight-saving time.

AN ICELESS REFRIGERATOR FOR SUMMER DAYS ```markdown ``` Wooden Frame Covered With Screen Wire and Canton Flannel or Burlap Makes This Refrigerator—(Left) Framework; (Right) Completed Convenience. Wooden Frame Covered With Screen Wire and Canton Flannel or Burlap Makes This Refrigerator—(Left) Framework; (Right) Completed Convenience. DEVICE TO KEEP FOOD IN SUMMER Evaporation of Water From Cloth Cover Is Cooling Principle of Refrigerator. COOLER FOR DRINKING WATER Temperature of 50 Degrees F. Possible Under Ideal Conditions—Place for Meals, Fruits, Vegetables Where ice is not obtainable an iceless refrigerator, home-made, will be a useful food keeper and food saver this summer. Maintaining a low temperature through the evaporation of water from its canvas cover, the iceless refrigerator will keep meats, fruits and vegetables cool and will extend the period for keeping milk and butter. It can also serve as a cooler for drinking water. Separate Refrigerators. Separate Refrigerators. In homes where large quantities of milk and butter are to be kept it would be well to have one refrigerator for milk and butter and another for other foods, as milk and butter readily absorb odors from other foods. It costs very little to build the refrigerator and nothing to operate it. The operation is as simple as the construction. The upper pan should be kept filled with water. The water is drawn by capillary attraction through the wicks and saturates the cover. As evaporation takes place heat is taken from the inside of the refrigerator, thereby lowering the temperature of the inside and the contents. Capillary action starts more readily if the cover is first dampened by dipping it in water or throwing water upon it. The greater the rate of evaporation the lower the temperature which can be secured; therefore the refrigerator works best when rapid evaporation takes place. Evaporation Is Rapid. When the refrigerator is placed in a shady place in a strong breeze and the air is warm and dry, evaporation takes place continuously and rapidly and the temperature inside the refrigerator is reduced. Under ideal conditions the temperature has been known to be reduced to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. When it is damp, and the air is full of moisture, the refrigerator will not work as well, since there is not enough evaporation. More water will find its way to the lower pan, but it will be drawn up into the covering by capillary attraction when the air again becomes drier. The refrigerator should be regularly cleaned and sunned. If the framework, shelves and pans are white enameled they can more easily be kept in a sanitary condition. It is well to have two covers, so that a fresh one can be used each week and the soiled one washed and sunned. Some Fireless Specialties. Here are some things that can be cooked well in the fireless cooker: Cereals—Prepare as for the stove, but use one-sixth less water. Boll for ten minutes, or longer with coarser cereals. Place in the cooker boiling hot and leave six or eight hours or over night. Meats—Buy cheaper cuts. The fireless can make tough meat tender. Creole Stew. 1 pound lean beef or ½ cupful rice. 1 medium fowl. ½ cupful chopped onions. 2 cupful tomatoes. ½ cupful carrots or 1 tablespoonful fat. 1 okra cut small. 1 teaspoonful salt. 1 cupful chopped sweet peppers. Cut the meat in small pieces or cut the fowl into joints. Melt the fat, add the onions, peppers, meat or chicken. Brown for a few minutes. Put in cooking vessel with seasoning, rice, vegetables and one cupful boiling water. Simmer for one-half hour and put in fireless for three hours without the disks or two hours with them. With chicken and okra this is the famous creole chicken of the South. Roasts—Sear the roast, season, place in the cooking vessel between two hot disks. Do not add water. Allow 25 minutes per pound. Soup stock—Cut up meat, crack bones, and cover with cold water. Let it reach the boiling point, then place in cooker for several hours. Dried fruits and vegetables—Peas, beans, corn, dried fruit—soak in water until restored to the original size. Boll a few minutes and then keep in cooker six to twelve hours. Baked beans or peas are especially good cooked in the fireless. For more recipes send to the department of agriculture for Farmers' Bulletin 771, "Home-Made Fireless Cookers and Their Use." HOW TO CONSTRUCT AN ICELESS REFRIGERATOR A wooden frame is made with dimensions 42 by 16 by 14 inches and covered with screen wire, preferably the rustless type, which costs little more than the ordinary kind. The door is made to fit closely and is mounted on brass hinges, and can be fastened with a wooden latch. The bottom is fitted solid, but the top should be covered with screen wire. Adjustable shelves can be made of solid wood or strips or sheets of galvanized metal. Shelves made of poultry netting on light wooden frames, as shown in the illustration, are probably the most desirable. These shelves rest on side braces placed at desired intervals. A bread baking pan, 14 by 16 inches, is placed on the top and the frame rests in a 17 by 18-inch pan. All the woodwork, the shelves and the pans should receive two coats of white paint and one or two coats of white enamel. This makes a very attractive surface and one that can be easily kept clean. The screen wire also may receive the coat of enamel, which will prevent it from rusting. A cover of canton flannel, burlap or duck is made to fit the frame. Put the smooth side out if canton flannel is used. It will require about three yards of material. This cover is buttoned around the top of the frame and down the side on which the door is not hinged, using buggy hooks and eyes or large-headed tacks and eyelets worked in the material. On the front side arrange the hooks on the top of the door, instead of on the frame, and also fasten the cover down the latch side of the door, allowing a wide hem of the material to overlap the place where the door closes. The door can then be opened without unbuttoning the cover. The bottom of the cover should extend down into the lower pan. Four double strips, which taper to 8 or 10 inches in width, are sewed to the upper part of the cover. These strips form wlicks that dip over into the upper pan. The dimensions given make a refrigerator of very convenient size for household use and one with. efficient evaporating surface, but it is not necessary to follow strictly these dimensions. If a larger capacity is desired, the height of the refrigerator can be increased. Never buy large quantities of spices at a time—they spoil WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS WASHINGTON—Meyer Davis of this city, who has been dubbed the "king of the "jazzers," is quoted by a Boston Post reporter who interviewed him as having said that jazz music, while having Wagner beaten a mile for lulu," replied Davis, "it will quickly become a thing of the past. It's a novelty, and that is all. A jazz player takes a piece of music and plays what ain't there. The good jazzzer can take any sort of a melody and jazz it up by putting all sorts of 'blues' in, with a generous sprinkling of ragtime variations. A typical-jazz band is composed of instruments of greatest noisemaking power. Let me explain. You must have the slide trombone, with a bottle of oil handy. Then a drummer, with a complete assortment of kitchen utensils, and a cornetist, who must have finished execution and technique, as the ragging of the melody depends on him. Clarionet? Sure! He plays all the convolutions, evolutions and variations. And then the pianist. That will do for a small bunch of jazzers." "What effect does jazz music have on human beings?" asked the reporter. "It will make a wooden man dance, and cause an octogenarian to feel like a boy of sixteen," he replied. Wanted to Keep Promise He Made the Children Wanted to Keep Promise He Made the Children A FARMER man wanted peppermint stick candy, pink and white. You can't find old-timey sweets like that these days, except in back-street shops that don't count, but the clerk could give him caramels, conserves, glaces, marsh- a helpful young person with seemingly no aspiration to throw down her job for war work at one thousand per, suggested every luring substitute in stock, but peppermint was what the farmer wanted. "Why, little miss, those young ones will be waiting for me a mile up the road—I just can't bear to think of it——" Little miss interrupted him with an inspiration. Under the counter were jelly-glass jars of pipestemmie sticks of clear candy, lemon instead of peppermint, and of a lovely green. The farmer man had to compromise with a half-dozen jars and a braided bar of mint cream, but he wasn't happy, over it. "I suppose I can't do any better—but I hate to think of facing those boys after I gave them my word. You see, little miss, a promise ought to be kept——" Foolishness to make such a fuss over nothing, of course. Of course! All the same, it is right refreshing to meet up with a man with a Gibraltarish sense of honor like that, because you must admit—— Couldn't Believe Gorgeous Being Was Her Father Couldn't Believe Gorgeous Being Was Her Father ATINY girl out southeast way lived with an uncle and aunt because her mother was in heaven and her father at sea. Being old enough to play with other tiny children, she wondered why it was that she had no papa to peek backward through his memory glass to show us how beautiful it used to be. After so long, the father—an officer in the navy—returned from a cruise and came to the southeast home for a first glimpse of his baby daughter. The child took in the brass buttons and gold braid with rapt wonder leadened with doubt. This big, gold-shining man was not like the papas who came home from work every afternoon to have their legs hugged. The blue cloth arms were open to recive her, but she hung back fearsomely. She had to be sure. "Are you my father?" The arms folded the tiny girl and assurance was given which settled every doubt. And the child voiced rhapsodic relief. "I thought you were God." A woman who used to be the tiny girl told about it recently. Father Time was letting her peek through his memory glass. Rather Rough on Waiter, but "Orders Is Orders" THE manager of a Washington hotel has insisted upon strict observance of the food administration's rules from the beginning, so that two men, apparently of the class that are in Washington on business just now, who table, however, sat an official of the food administration. He beckoned to the head waiter, said something to him in an undertone, and in a few minutes the waiter who had served the forbidden bread rushed back to the table where the two men were and said agitatedly: "You gentlemen have cost me my job—serving that bread was against orders." They called for the head waiter of the room and protested that the waiter was not at fault, but they. "We have certain rules in this establishment, gentlemen, which must be followed," said the head waiter. "These particular rules are the result of a pledge made by us to the food administration." "But this is our fault," protested one of the two men. The head waiter didn't deny it. "We can only punish the waiter who disobeyed our rules," he said. WHEE! I FEEL LIKE A KID lulu," replied Davis, "it will quickly beelty, and that is all. A jazz player takn't there. The good jazzzer can take it by putting all sorts of 'blues' in, with aations.

UNLIKE OLD TIMES Possibly It Is an Improvement, but Reminiscent Citizen Seemed to Speak With a Certain Tinge "How did town meeting go this year?" inquired Capt. Dudley Pattershall, just home from a voyage and coming to headquarters for information of what had happened of interest while he had been away. "W-a-a-a-a-l, Cap'n," began Grindle the storekeeper, "th' annual meeting of the legal voters o' this town, to meet an' act upon certain articles to-wit, namely, ain't nothin' what it used to be. Times is changed wonderfully, 'specially since the war broke out. "Town meet'n' nowadays is gettin' to be as decorious as th' Bible class which meets in th' small vestry directly after preachin' services, to which all adults are invited. "They ain't no winders broke, nor no stove tipped over, nor the mod'rator don't have to suspend consideration of article 21 while he goes down on th' floor an' impresses some cit-zen as to proper parl'mentary procedure by bangin' him over th' head with a caulkin' mallet, used in more peaceful moments as a gavel." "Yes, I see it done," put in Captain Pattershall with a chuckle. "It used to take an able man to do the mod-ratin'." "They was times," continued Grindle, "when a woman couldn't go by on 'tother side of the street from the town hall without stickin' both fingers in her ears, but this year there was a row of 'em linin' th' gallery an' all listenin', an' lookin' on an' knittin'.

It ain't on record that ol' Pollard was ever prayed for before—not that way. Th' elder prayed for 'most everybody an' everything an' then for who or what he might have left out." "Well, wasn't it a better town meeting than the old-fashioned kind?" inquired Cap'n Pattshall. "W-a-a-a-a-l, I 'spose it was, in speakin' o' results an' good biness proceedin' but; there seemed t' be somethin' inckin'—this war has upset many old an' time-honored institu-tions, somehow."—Boston Globe. Two Brave Marines. On the first day of February, 1918, there was an explosion in a seaplane hangar on an aviation field near Washington. The explosion started a fire which set ablaze the clothing of a chief petty officer of the navy. The death of the petty officer and the destruction of the costly hangar were imminent. Privates William R. Lawton and Raymond J. Burnap, United States marines from the Washington navy yard, were on duty nearby. Arming themselves with fire extinguishers, they dashed to the rescue. The life of the petty officer was saved and the destruction of the hangar prevented. Secretary Daniels wrote a personal letter to each of the marines, commending him for his coolness and presence of mind in the face of sudden danger. Private Lawton enlisted in the marine corps on August 4, 1914, at Norfolk, Va. Private Burnap joined the soldiers of the sea at Philadelphia on July 21, 1917. Telephones In Canada. A most remarkable increase is evidenced in the use of the telephone in Canada during the past five years, according to a report recently laid upon the table of the house of commons. The number of telephones in use throughout the Dominion in 1912 was 370,884, while in 1917 the number had grown to 604,138. The number of telephone companies operating in 1912 was 683, and five years later there were 1,659 companies in operation. A total of 889,572 miles of wire was in use during the year 1912. In 1917 the wire mileage was 1,708,202. The capitalization of telephone companies also shows a great increase in the five-year period. In 1912 it was $42,278,851, while in June, 1917, it was $79,121,702. The revenue during the same period had grown approximately $8,000,000. The number of persons for each telephone in the Dominion in 1912, was 19.3 and in 1917, 13.4. Cautious Galveston. Many persons remember the destruction of Galveston by a West Indian hurricane which blew so hard it forced the sea up into the streets of the city and thousands of lives were lost. As a protection against a similar disaster, the city built a great sea wall. This year it has begun nearly two miles more of sea wall which will take nearly two years to complete and which will cost $2,000.00. After the great storm of 1000, the citizens raised the site of the city $17½ feet by pumping millions of tons of sand from the gulf. Galveston has taxed itself for all these colossal improvements.—Exchange.

Many persons came from the distant parts of the land; therefore {t was impracticable for them to bring their snerifices with them, so they brought money and bought the animals needed.

'T WAS as a measure of sufety for the life of the dethroned czar and his fam- lly that the Russian government au- thorities decided that the former ruler and his family be sent to Tobolsk, Si- beria, till the constituent assembly could determine how best to solve the problem of their future. Kerensky was then premier, and it fell upon him to deliver the fateful decision as politely as possi- ble. He called personally at the palace of Tsar- skoe-Selo and gave twenty-four hours to the royal exiles to pack their trunks and make themselves ready for thelr Journey, The ex-czar turned white and stammered in answer to Kerensky : “If it 1s God's and the people's will we shall obey.” A day thereafter the premier again called on the ex-ezar and informed him that the train which was to take him and his family to Siberia was ready. In four closed automobiles, guarded by a company of Cossacks, the royal exiles left thelr stately residence and drove to the railway station, where they were met by. Baron Fredericks, the for- mer minister of the court; General Voylekoff, the former commander of the palace, and Countess Naryshkin, the former lady in waiting to the ezar- ina. These were to follow their former masters to Siberia. ‘The baggage consisted of fifteen trunks and a few suitcases or handbags. These were carried into the car by the two loyal servants and the family members themselves. A dead silence pre- yailed on the platform when the once feared and respected ruler waiked to his car. Premier Keren- sky held his arm. Vice Premier Nekrassoy accom- panied the ex-czarina, It was a heavy and painful moment, a moment full of depressing thoughts, Seldom, if ever, in history has there been a more complete change in human fortunes than that which Nicholns Romanoff has suddenly undergone. From a household expenditure of $12,000,000 a year he has now been reduced to about $3,000 a year. From having twenty palaces at his command he was at first cut down to an elght-room flat in an old Siberian municipal building. From being the most powerful autocrat of All the Russias he be- came suddenly plain Mr. Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanoff, Siberian exile. I have succeeded in receiving considerable de- tails concerning the ex-caar's manner of life and views at Tobolsk, It is only a short while ago chat he was permitted to move from the small flat into the monastery, Here he is now occupying a small room in the house of the archimandrite, while the ex-czarina occupies another ‘room in an adjoining building, Though apparently free, the ex-czar and his family are really exiles, guarded carefully by the soldiers over ‘Whom he used to possess a command of life and degth, In this drsary town of 45,000 Inhabitants the ex- czar and his family have remained the chief ob- jects of interest. While a special attention had been paid by the guards to hit and the ex-ezarina, the daughters ure free to come and go as they please, and from them the townspeople have Tearned a great deal about the household and life of thelr dethroned rulers. ‘The residence determined for the ex-czar con- sisted of eight rooms of the second floor of the former governor's house at Tobolsk, It is a rather roomy house, built In the stately style of Russian institutions, of brick in white stucco, with slop- ing green roof. It Is not situated In the aristo- crati¢ quarter of the city, which Mes on higher ground on the farther side of the Tobol river. The lower floor was occupled by, the guarding officers, who had been specially selected on account of their loyalty to the revolutionary cause. Nicholas and the former czarina occupied a room ‘each and two rooms were put aside for the daugh- ters and the son Alexis, the former helr apparent. There were a dining room, a wide kitchen and a general sitting room, and the rest of the flat was given over to the servants, ‘The revolutionary gov- erninent,allowed three servants, a butler and two analds, Contrast these quarters with those the Roman- ‘offs formerly enjoyed at Tsarskoe-Selo, Peterhot, ‘at the Winter and Auichkova palaces in Petrograd, ‘at Livadia, in Gatehinn and the twenty-odd pal- ‘aces they possessed. The Peterhof palace was so large that a person could lose himself In it, and 200 servants were employed solely to steer guests through it. ‘The Hall of Mirrors in the Winter pal- ‘ace ut Petrograd 18 200 feet in length and 1s con- All the daughters of the former czar have plenty of money at their disposal, as they have been al- lowed to retain the possession of the cash they had before the revolution as well as the jewels which they possessed individually, Olga, who is the most serious member of the family, is a volunteer nurse in the local military hospital, where she spends five hours every day. ‘Tatiana’s occupations were more indefinite, as she is a girl who likes more the social side of life and therefore made the largest number of friends in this Siberian town, All the Romanoff girls mix freely with the ordinary citizens of Tobolsk. ‘They often go to the Municipal theater, and on these oc- casions they sit down in the lobby, which serves the purpose of the French cafe as a social meeting place. ‘They also go to large tea parties in the town, sell at the booths of the charity bazaars and attend luncheons at the Merchants’ club. ‘They are members of the Woman's club and the Red Cross society of the town, They are also frequent visit- ors at all the radical meetings and lectures in To- bolsk. A rather Interesting change has taken place with the former heir apparent, little Alexis, known to his family and friends as “Aliosha.” From the monarehical point of view he is more important than all the girls put together. He has become very democratic and enjoys the banishment. He is allowed to go out and play in the public park as long as he pleases, but he is watched all the time, because he might be used by conspirators in an attempt to restore the monarchy. It Is interesting to know that little Aliosha ap- pears to be in much better health than when he was heir to the throne, although he still suffers from the stiffness of the right leg which he ac- quired in a mysterious accident. His color is bet- ter than It was and he appears to have recovered to some extent from the slow polsoning to which Rasputin subjected him as a means of maintaining his influence over the czar and-ezarina, While the younger members of the Romanoff family are reasonably happy, there is no doubt that the former czar and czurina are intensely mis- erable. ‘They are tormented by the loss of their power and splendor and the great heritage that had been, handed down to them from generations of famous ancestors, While the former czarina is filled with rage against those who have brought her to the present condition, Nicholas shows only melancholy. ‘Though occasionally downcast, she has a more aggressive and restless character than her hus- bund, She bustes herself in the household work, probably in order to save herself from going mad over her troubles. She rises at elght o'clock in the morning, makes a brief toilet and puts on a kitchen dress, Then she goes into the kitchen, looks over the provisions and plans the meals for the day. She made all her Jurs of Jelly and jam for last winter. The former czarina prides herself on her skill in making all kinds of cake and pastry. Pathetically she hopes that the fallen czar will be cheered by a cake baked by her own Imperial hands. But all her efforts are in vain, Her‘hus- band has been gradually losing his appetite. ‘The exiled czarina is most saddened by the thought that she has lost all the historic crown Jewels of Russia, representing a value of millions of dollars, Many of these which she was forced to leave behind In the palace at Tsarkoe-Selo now adorn the wives and sweethearts of leading social- Ists and bolshewk politicians,’ One thought con- solés her: that she sent away a large part of her personal jewels to Darmstadt, Germany just be- fore the revolution broke out. It was in lust November that the government Permitted the exiled ezar and his family to make their residence in the monastery near Tobolsk, ‘where they are now living under the supervision of the clergy and local polfce, most of the guards hay- ing been withdrawn. ‘The routine of thelr daily life in the monastery ts virtually: the same as it Was In the former governor's house, only the at- mosphere Is more religious and they are cecluded from the curlous eyes of the outside world, sidered one of the most gorgeous rooms in exist ence. In the early days of thelr life in Tobolsk Nich- olas and his wife were kept really prisoners with- in their flat, ‘They were only allowed out for the purpose of uttending services in the Cathedral of Annunciation or the monastery where they now live, or going to the public baths. They attended divine services twice every Sunday and on rell- gious anniversaries of importance. ‘They attended the public baths once a week. ‘The Romanoff family are living a very simple life. ‘They cannot afford oranges, lemons, pears, peaches, pineapples and many other delicacies which are quite common in America, They could not have spirituous drinks if they wanted them, for the law which Nicholas first promulgated him- self is still in force. Instead of sugar they use honey for their table. As a true hausfrau, the ex-czarina generally as- sists the cook in the kitchen to prepare the meals, ‘The Romanoffs have a lght breakfast at nine o'clock, Iuncheon at one and dinner at six. The late hour for breakfast and the early hour for din ner are planned to sult the convenience of the servants. Day after day the same monotonous routine continues, with its simple meals and its lack of excitement. ‘There are no social pleasures and no entertainments. Until recently thelr lves were filled with state banquets, great court balls and re- ceptions and pageants of various kinds, not to mention the military and religious ceremonies and other diversions perhaps equally exciting. Now they cannot even entertain the mayor or the school children of the town, ‘The former czarina was greatly excited about the banishment and suffered during the first days after her arrival at Tobolsk. But she soon over- came her sorrows and took an active interest in the housekeeping. She likes roast goose and roast veal cooked in the German style. ‘There are ru- mors that she Is now very lively In her conyersa- tion and bitter about her fate, On the other hand, the ex-czar has been very silent, gloomy and. reflective, He frequently has brushed away a tear from his eyes. He has grown very haggard, gray and old-looking, He wears ordinarily the, uniform of a general of the Prebra- Jensky regiment, which he 1s allowed to use, al- though he no longer enjoys the rank, Perhaps the most interesting news of the Ro- manoff family relates to the daughters, There are four of these girls, all pretty and attractive: Olga, aged twenty-two; Tatlina, aged twenty; Marie, aged elghten, and Anastasia, aged sixteen, ‘They were nearly frightened to death at the outbréak of the revolution, but now, under just treatment, they are developing into good republicans and perhaps even radicals. ‘The government has very kindly and no doubt wisely allowed these young girls to come and go as they please, without any watch being kept upon them. They mix freely with the people of the town and travel to all parts of the country If they wish, It is no uncommon thing’ to heur the son of a local shopkeeper say to the former Grand Duchess Olga, eldest daughter of the former czar of all the Russias: “Hello, Olga Nicholaevna, won't you go for a ride this evening?” ‘To this Olga will reply, without belng the least offended: “No; thank you, Ivan Petrovich, I have an im portant meeting of the Woman's club to attend,” Usually the girls are addressed, according to the regular Russian style, as “Olga Nicholaevna,” meaning “Olga, daughter of Nicholus;" “Tatiana Nicolaevna,” and so on.
