A gang of Negro riveters working at Sparrows Point, Me., in the plant of Bethlehem Steel Corporation broke the world's record for driving rivets. One of the gang, Charles Knight, drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in a nine hour day. The previous highest record was 4,442 made by a workman in a Scottish shipyard. This is the way the Negro is demonstrating his patriotism at home while his brothers in black in the army are showing it in France. Mr. Knight is a highly respectable and industrious citizen of Baltimore, a native of Virginia. Telegrams announcing the new record were sent to Mr. Chas. M. Schwab, Director-General for the Fleet Corporation and other officials connected with shipbuilding. If a bridge of ships will enable our soldiers to go over to be fed and our allies to have supplies, the Negro will have a large share in building those ships. Mr Knight is our one of thousands of Negro shipworkers. At Newport News Yards alone there are about 8,000 employed. Commenting on this performance of work the Washington Times of May 18 said: Not many months ago German propagandists were spreading the story that the colored people of the South, even as far North as this city, were preparing to revolt against the Government and do what they could to hinder the work of the war. Day before yesterday there was a revolution, but it was not the kind the Germans planned. Charles Knight colored, and seve ncolored helpers turned upside down every record that had even been made for driving rivets into the hulls of ships. This is the kind of a revolution the colored men of this country are carrying on. That is the kind of a revolution they may be depended on to carry on to the end of the war. Foreman Knight set an excellent example of efficiency to every citizen of the country, whether he be black or white. Pershing Tells of Gallantry of Two Black Soldiers. Washington, May 20 — The official commique from General Pershing to day gives the first news of negro soldiers being in action on the American front. The statement tells also of the gallantry of two Negro troopers, who, while wounded, fought off a party of twenty German raiders. Aside from aerial activity on both sides, yesterday was a quiet day at all points occupied by American troops, General Pershing said. American aviators brought down two hostile machines. "Reports in hand show a notable instance of bravery and devotion by two soldiers of an American Negro regiment operating in a French sector.

"Both men fought bravely in hand to hand encounters, one resorting to the use of a bolo knife after his rifle jammed and further fighting with bayonet and butt became impossible. There is evidence that, at least one and probably a second German was severely cut. A third is known to have been shot. "The two Negro sentries were first attacked and continued fighting after receiving wounds and despite the use of grenades by superior forces. They should be given credit for preventing, by their bravery, the capture of any of our men. Three of our men were wounded, two by grenades. All are recovering, an dthe wounds in two cases are slight." I. Thomas, Allen Chapel, Tenth and e Streets. Y 27, 8:00 P. M. e Paseo Y. M. C. A. as follows: ...Liszt ah Douglass "..... f. J. H.

Ballou Convicts Theatre Manager The General Says His Bulletio Was One of Advice, Designed to Prevent Racial Friction, and Had Nothing to Do With Any Policy of Segregation. Camp Funston, Kas., May 25.—It transpires that while Major-General C. C. Ballou of the 92nd Division, was addressing the men under him through Bulletin No. 35, he was at the same time pressing the prosecution of the theatrical manager who had discriminated against a sergeant of the Division. The prosecution of the manager of the Wareham Theater for discrimination on account of color, instigated at General Ballou's request, was, after being twice continued, tried in police court at Manhattan, Kas., a few days ago, and resulted in the conviction of the defendant and the imposition of a fine of $10 and costs. It is generally assumed that the conviction of the theatrical manager will serve to prevent a repetition of the offense, and will deter other theater owners and managers from making discrimination on account of color. General Ballou followed the same course here as he did at the Officers' Training School at Des Moines, Ia., last summer, namely: while admonishing his men to refrain from precipitating racial disturbances to prosecute those who should discriminate against his men. General Ballou Writes Scott. The following letter, addressed to Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, although dated April 22, 1918, has just been made public, since the prosecution and conviction of the offending theater manager. A letter similar in character has also been written to the editor of The Crisis, New York. The letter to Mr. Scott follows: Headquarters 92d Division, Camp Funston, Kas. April 22, 1918. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, War Department, Washington, D. C. My Dear Mr. Scott: I have your request that I make a brief statement relative to Bulletin No. 35, these Headquarters. There seems to be no good reason why I should not do so. Here are the preliminary facts: A soldier of this Division got into trouble with a theater manager at Manhattan and reported it to me. I at once ordered an investigation, placed the facts before the Division Judge Advocate and was informed by him that the theater manager had violated the law. I then put the case in the hands of the United States Attorney and requested the prosecution of the theater manager. The case was set for April 22d. I then issued Bulletin No. 35, which, in brief, is counsel to my soldiers to avoid race troubles. This Bulletin was given out to the colored press of the country, accompanied by an entirely misleading letter that not only completely suppressed all mention of any prosecution of the theater manager, but directly and falsely conveyed the impression to editors and readers that I had not done so. The most prejudiced person will I think, at once see that this was a malicious attempt to stir up race feeling by misrepresentation. Good Order and Military Discipline Foundation Stones. The character of Bulletin No. 35 was that of advice, as already stated. This advice was ordered published to the Division. It had nothing to do with any policy of segregation, or with any policy outside of the military establishments. Its purpose was to prevent race friction, with the attendant prejudice to good order and military discipline. Good order and military discipline are the foundation stones of the military service. They are indispensable. Nothing connected with the service of the colored troops has ever been so threatening to good order and discipline as race troubles have been, and it is well known that our enemies have sought to profit by this fact ever since there was a prospect of war. No stone has been left unturned. There have always been ```markdown ``` We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions.

It was no more coincident that the East St. Louis atrocities occurred in a city filled largely with German sympathizers. There is little doubt that the same influence agged on both whites and blacks at Houston. Most troubles have small beginnings. At Houston they grew from the fact of colored soldiers entering cars reserved for whites, and other similar matters. Great wrongs were eventually committed on both sides, culminating in the killing of a score of white people and the hanging of thirteen Negroes. In the midst of all the feeling and excitement caused by the East St. Louis and Houston troubles, the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines won golden approbation all over the United States.

Floor A. Kansas City, Mo., or Bell phone Main 4841W. made thousands of friends for the colored race and achieved aglo rious success. It did all of this by following precisely the advice that was repeated to the 92d Division in Bulletin No. 35. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Our enemies do not wish the United States to have its military power increased by colored soldiers, and they stand ready to add fuel to every race discord in order to embarrass our country as much as possible in this war. Is it any wonder then, in view of what the enemy has accomplished in the past and is seeking to accomplish again, that the Commander of the Colored Division seeks to nip troubles in the bud, and while prosecuting white men for their offenses against his soldiers, urges the soldiers to do their part to keep the peace and promote harmony. I have shown that my position and action were deliberately and maliciously misrepresented to the colored peony prompt prosecution of the theater manager, and by falsely conveying the impression that I had taken no such action. The entire letter that accompanied Bulletin No. 35 to the press of the colored people was a misrepresentation of my attitude and of the facts in the case, and no fair-minded person, when the facts are known, as stated above, can fall to see the work of an enemy—an enemy of our country and an even greater enemy to the colored race. Is the colored race going to "fall" to such schemes? I think not. I think they will contrast the work of the trouble maker with the solid achievements of the colored officers' training camp at Forst Des Moines and of the 92d Division, and consider thoughtfully the words—"By tehir fruit ye shall know them."

Crews, Editor of the Kansas City Sun Dear Sir:— I desire to give the following information to my many personal friends through the columns of your widely read paper. I, Thomas Scott was born in Virginia, May 12, 1826 and am getting well up in years. I entered the ministry in 1864 while the great Civil War was still going on. I preached many years as a circuit minister in the A. M. E. church. I came to Kansas City away back in 1846 when Kansas City was but a hamlet. I have seen the city grow until it is one of the leading cities of the country. What a wonderful change in its growth and God has blessed me with health and a long life but I am getting a little frail and if my friends would remember this and help me a little I would appreciate it greatly. Thomas Scott. In loving memory of our dear mother er Mrs. Carrie Hoskins, who died one year ago today, May 23, 1917. She is gone, but not forgotten, Never shall her memory fade, And our hearts will always linger Around the spot where she is laid Some sweet day beyond the shadow Some sweet day beyond the tide We shall see and be wit hmother We shall then be glorified. Sadly missed by daughters and sons. Mrs. John Green, daughter. In loving memory of our dear mother, who passed away nine years ago, May 17, 1909. O, how patiently she bore the pain Which God alone can heal, And when her work on earth was done, Her eyes in sleep God sealed. We have lost her, the one we love, But we shall meet in heaven above. Sadly missed by children Mrs. Jane Goins, Mrs. Mamie Leatherbury, Mrs. Flora Tolson, Chillicothe, Mo. Mrs. Laura Jackson, Master Lawrence Lewis and Verlee Hubard, grand children. The Odd Fellows and Ruths of Kansas City, Mo., attended the Annual Thanksgiving of the Odd Fellows and Ruths of Kansas City, Kansas, May 12 at the First A. M. E. church.

The Light and Power Company Asks For Temporary Relief On Its Rates In order to partly meet the enormous increase in the cost of fuel, labor, materials, taxes, and the price paid for current purchased outside our own plants, we have applied to the Missouri Public Service Commission for relief during the present war situation. We are not asking the Commission to permanently change our rate. In the application submitted— Permission to make a surcharge of 7 cents per month to resident consumers is asked, but there is no other change in the residential rate. A surcharge of $1 per month per kilowatt of connected load to commercial consumers. Increase in the demand charge of 25 cents per month per kilowatt of demand, and an increase in the energy charge of one-half of one cent per kilowatt hour to power consumers. These are all the changes asked for in the petition for temporary relief. Since the present rate was established the current purchased outside our own plants has been increased $400,000 annually on the present coal basis. Taxes have increased $53½ per cent; materials 30 per cent; labor $46½ per cent; fuel $57¼ per cent. We are facing a deficit during 1918 of approximately $800,000. Unless relief is given it will be impossible to meet the operating expense during the next twelve months, there being a deficit since the present rate was established in May, 1917, of at least $300,000. The Public Service Commission is asked to make a complete investigation into the books of the Company. We are only asking for relief to tide us over present war conditions. It is not a question of dividend paying. All the facts will be made public. Realizing that our present conditions are but temporary, we are not asking for material changes in our present rates, but only for special revenue to meet the exigencies of the situation. No good Kansas Citian wants to see this utility or any other concern operate at a loss. The cost of operation must be met. The Kans The Kansas City Light The Kansas City Light & Power Co.

In urging the American people to "hold the line" it should be made clear that the reference is not intended for the "color line." Even the Japanese know better than that. The Allies are sure to win and America with the others will share in the glory of victory over mediaeval autocracy. The Negroes along with other dark races will share in the crowning struggle. Will social science contrive, then, some new reasons for race prejudice? Or will the old reasons do? Kansas City has had an opportunity to meet some of the very biggest men and women of our race this week during the national social workers convention but the really biggest man and women of the meeting are those white southern delegates who have dared to speak out for actual equal rights and opportunities for the colored people. Just how they do it we do not know, but the fact remains that with gasoline at twenty and above more and more Negroes are buying automobiles even though living in rented houses. "When some of these present day savants grow old and the smell of gas shall make them to weary and grow sick at heart then will the evil days come and no man shall abide with them."

Naval Lieutenant Wins |ionor. Although officers in the milltary forces of this country are not allowed to accept decorations or gifts from for- eign governments, the British admiral ty has just conferred honors upon a young American officer. ‘To Lieut. Frank Loftin, U. 8. N,, on duty on an American destroyer operating in the war zone, has been given the distin- guished service cross. The navy de- partment announces this recommen- dation made through the British am- bassador. Loftin was executive offi cer of the destroyer, which, with oth- ers, was convoyiug a number of troop- ships, when general quarters was sounded as a torpedo was sighted com- ing toward the ship. Sizing up the situation, he rang to the engine room for full speed ahead. Getting this, he altered the ship's course and headed directly for the periscope of the U- boat. Quick maneuvering followed and a depth charge dropped in the course of the submerged enemy sent him out of sight. Lieutenant Loftin is from Tennessee and graduated from the Naval academy in the class of 1907. ‘aeiit wt tet: Mtuantinn A glimpse at the development of trade in European countries, in which Industrial art bas played such an im- poftant role, is full of suggestion to us. When Germany discovered at the Paris exposition in 1878 how crude and in- artistic her exhibits were, her greatest artists, laying aside their easels and canvases, began designing textiles, wall paper, furniture and advertisements The results of these activities we wit- foessed in the German Applied Arts exhibition held in all our large cities a few years ago. By means of intensive art education in Prussia the trade routes of the world were changed in favor of Germany. Trade in toys was diverted from Switzerland, in printing materials from England, and in dress trimmings from France. In France and England in a similar way trade has been developed through attention to art education.

Aaron was pretty regular in his time, hence the jackass brayed every morning at eight o'clock sharp. During the last six months he has brayed at precisely eight o'clock whether he saw a horse or not. Lithonia folks quit bothering about watches and clocks. Whenever they heard the jackass bray the children hiked to school. Then along came the daylight-saving law. Those who have clocks and watches got them out and greased them up, preparatory to setting them ahead an hour. They didn't want to depend upon a braying jackass when government law is concerned. Their old tickets must do full duty now, if they never did before. So they set their timepieces ahead one hour and let it go at that. But how were they to set the old jackass an hour? Not by pushing from behind, said some. One man said he had tried it, and it didn't work. Neither did he, for a fortnight. A special meeting of the board of trade has been called to consider ways and means of setting up "that braying jackass," who still insists on hee-hawing at eight o'clock, old time, but which is nine o'clock, new time, thus making all the kiddies late at school. Grateful Wildcat Gets His Benefactor in Trouble Grateful Wildcat Gets His Benefactor in Trouble SAN FRANCISCO.—Fred Hall, pioneer of Shingletown, Cal., is sorry now he befriended a female wildcat two years ago. Hall was traveling along Battle creek on his snowshoes one day when he came upon a wildcat and her two leg and gave the animals some food. He then closed the door and left them outside. A few weeks later the mother cat brought a freshly killed fawn, which she laid at the cabin door and then, like a tame cat, stood purring and arching her back in front of the cabin door. When Hall took the young deer inside the cabin, the cats made off into the woods. Since then the mother wildcat and her cubs—now grown to full size—have paid Hall regular visits. Each time they bring Hall a present of some dead animal—not always a freshly killed animal, though. Hall was not bothered much for a time by having wildcats keep him in meat, but when two game wardens found the carcass of a deer in his possession out of season he had some explaining to do. Needless to say, the game wardens did not believe Hall's story. But Hall asked them to remain a day or two and see for themselves. The officers accepted the invitation and two days later the three wildcats appeared. One of the young cats dragged a large dead animal into the clearing. It proved to be the carcass of a neighbor's thoroughbred calf! The neighbor, William Dunham, expects Hall to pay for the calf, contending that the wildcats in killing the calf acted as Hall's agents. Youngster Hadn't Much to Give, but He Gave It DETROIT.—Holding tightly to a tattered book and with a bundle of papers under his arm, a small and very brown and dirty, curly headed boy sidled up to a group of soldiers standing at the door of the armory Saturday, pulling "Kiddle, you're alright; come here and let me see the book," said one of the men. The book, thumbed and dirty, with its gay-colored pictures streaked and partly obliterated, was a collection of Mother Goose rhymes. "Me muvver read in th' paper books wuz wanted for th' sojers, so I brunged all I got," said the youngster. "What are you, anyway, boy, an Italian?" asked a soldier. "New, I ain't no Eyetalyun; I'm a Serb," replied the lad. "Well, you don't talk like one—I guess you're just a regular American," and his interrogator laughed. "Sure, I'm an Amurriken, but I'm a Serb, too, fer I cum here on a ship wrapped up in me muvver's shawl," was the lad's retort. "Anyway, I don't like no Chermans. And, mister sojer, pleas' take me book for th' sojers." The men then bought all the youngster's newspapers, carefully took the treasured old book into the armory, and sent the boy away happy with his rockets bulging with apples, popcorn and candy. "Exhibit A" Won the Suit for Fair Plaintiff NEW YORK.—After Miss Minnie Lipkowitz, seventeen years old, had had her ankles measured on the counsel table in the presence of the jury, the Interborough Rapid Transit company gave up and Justice McAvoy, before whom, in drawn the interest of the jurors by promising to show them, which she later did. With the aid of a tape measure she proved that her client's right ankle was $9\frac{1}{4}$ inches, while the left ankle was $10\frac{1}{2}$ inches in circumference. Miss Lipkowitz, who is a stenographer, testified she had been pushed off the subway platform at Broadway and Forty-second street, her left ankle wedging between platform and car. Fortunately, the train was not moving, but her ankle never was the same. After the case had been outlaid and Miss Thomas had said, "I shall show" so many times that the jury was crimson, Miss Lipkowitz was called to the counsel table, and with very rare grace climbed upon it. Then, while the jury threatened to volplane out of the jury coop, she slowly lifted her modish skirt and exhibited all that her attorney had promised. translations is the regulating of the famous Lithonia jackass, who, by his regular and dependable brayings, has regulated clocks and watches in Lithonia for several months. E. W. Reagon, who lives not far from the center of the town, owns the biggest jackass in De Kalb county, the prize specimen of North Georgia. Something more than a year ago Rengon's little son, Aaron, started going out in the morning and leading his horse out of the barn, and when ever the jackass saw the horse he would bray.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1918 HAVE MANY QUAINT BELIEFS Alaskan Natives Probably as Superstitious as Any Race on the Face of the Earth. In Alaska the natives have all kinds of superstitious beliefs. They believe that everything has a spirit, and that these spirits must be respected or else bad luck will come to them. For instance, they must not throw away any old clothing, nor burn it, for that would be the same as destroying a part of themselves. They must make a bundle of the old clothes and put it on the branches of a large spruce tree outside the village. All fish bones are carefully put away in a basket to be taken out to the middle of a river, stream or lake and there thrown overboard. This is done so that every single bone, after it is put back into the water, will turn into a fish, and this is sure to keep up the supply. When a child is born the father has to put away all tools that are made of iron or steel and is not allowed to use them for 20 days. During that time he is not allowed to go outside to do any work or any hunting. Should he do any of these things it would surely cause the death of the baby. When a child dies it is not buried, but is wrapped in a bundle and placed at the foot of a spruce sapling. If the tree dies within a year the spirit of the child dies also. When a grown person dies the body is kept at least three days in the room in which it has died. When the time for burial comes the body is buried on a hillside or a high bank facing the river. There is the village of departed spirits on the side facing the river and on the other side the spirits of the dogs who have died and who belong to the people whose spirits are there. The spirit of an old woman takes care of these dogs—Southern Workman. Politeness Is Too Neglected. Courtesy! Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale university is right in saying that the young men of today possess even a greater power of endurance than their fathers. The war has demonstrated that the luxuries of modern life have not produced a degenerate race. Our own heroes of 1776 were no more hardy than the young men in khaki today after six months of training. The endurance of the modern soldier is not alone a matter of physique or physical strength but of moral stamina as well. What we need to cultivate is not simply a sturdy manhood through military discipline, but also to give our boys and girls training in courtesy. Military training teaches obedience, a quality that our youth sorely need to acquire, but we need to instill into the minds of our children in the public schools lessons of politeness and respect for the rights of others. No other nation has neglected positeness as we have done.—Leslie's. Cement From Sugar-Beet Waste. Cement From Sugar-Beet Waste. A result of experiments in French factories is the production of an excellent cement as a by-product of beet sugar refining. The first step in the production of sugar from beets is boiling them. It has heretofore been customary to throw away as valueless the scum formed on the caldrons. But it has now been discovered that this scum contains large quantities of carbonate of lime. It is estimated that 4,000 tons of the carbonates can be recovered from 70,000 tons of beets. To this quantity of the carbonate 1,100 tons of clay is added, the resultant product being a good cement. The beet scum is pumped into large reservoirs and allowed to evaporate for a certain length of time before being mixed with the clay. It is then stirred or beaten for an hour before being fed into rotary ovens such as is used in making Portland cement. Not in His Line. An auto load of Dunkards came into Winchester one day last week, and it was noticeable that the motor of their machine was "knocking." They stopped in front of the undertaking establishment of O. O. Fraze, which is next door to the Hecker & Doyel garage. One of the men left the machine and went into the undertaker's office, thinking it was the office of the garage. "I would like for you to look at my motor and see what's wrong with it," said the man. "It isn't dead, is it?" queried the undertaker. "No, it is still running," said the Dunkard, whereupon the undertaker replied: "If it isn't dead we can't do anything for it. This is an undertaker's shop." The man was then directed to the nearby garage.—Indianapolis News. Character Game First. If you are to become capable and efficient, desire, will, attention, concentration, purpose, discipline, reflection, analysis and research are each an exercise to be diligently applied. Wordsworth once resolved to make an excursion to the mountains, and, in spite of protests, carried out his intention in the face of a violent storm. He gave as his reason that "the abandoning of a plan to avoid a slight discomfort is dangerous to your character." Mexico Expects Big Cotton Grop. A bumper crop of cotton is expected this next year in Mexico. Indications are that the cotton crop of the Laguna district of the states of Coahulua and Durango will be three times as great as for the past year, when it amounted to more than half a million bales of a total value of ten million dollars. None of it was exported, but it was all consumed in the factories of the republic. The Housewife and the War (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) SOME QUICK BREADS THAT SAVE WHEAT. ... Plate of Palatable and Attractive Muffins Made Without the Use of Any Wheat Flour. EAT HOT BREADS AS WAR MEASURE Use of Substitutes Will Do Much to Relieve Wheat Situation and Aid Allies. SOME GOOD THINGS TO EAT Biscuits, Muffins, Waffles and Griddle Cakes Are Better Than Yeast Bread—Will Tickle Palate and Satisfy Stomach. Biscuit's, muffins, griddle cakes, waffles—use these in place of yeast bread and save wheat. To make a yeast bread of good texture some wheat flour must be used to furnish the gluten necessary for this form of leavening. Quick breads leavened with baking powders or sour milk, or cream of tartar with baking soda, do not need this gluten, so we can use other cereal flours that do not contain gluten for them. Barley flour, corn flour, cornmeal, buckweat flour, oatmeal, sweet potato flour, kafir, and feteria meal—all such can be used for quick breads. Their use will do much to relieve the wheat situation, as they require no wheat. They are delicious, too, so when you serve your family with hot breads made from the wheat substitutes you help your country and the allies, and at the same time furnish your family with good things to eat. For hot biscuits almost any of the substitute flours can be used, using the same amount of shortening and baking powder as for wheat biscuit and enough liquid to make a dough of the right consistency for rolling. Half corn flour and half cornmeal makes a good biscuit or half cornmeal and half peanut meal. This barley drop biscuit is delicious: Barley Drop Biscuits. 2 cupfuls barley 1 cupful mink. flour. 4 tablespoonfuls fat. 6 teaspoonfuls bak- 1½ teaspoonfuls salt. ing powder. Baked in a sheet this makes a good shortcake, buttered and served with fresh crushed berries or other fruit. When soy-bean meal or peanut meal are used the fat should be reduced, as both of these contain much fat. For muffins the standard recipe can again be used, substituting the other flours in place of all or part of the wheat flour. Rolled oats can be put through a food grinder and used as any other flour or meal in quick breads. Here is a delicious muffin made from oatmeal and corn flour: Oatmeal-Corn Flour Muffins. 1 cupful oatmeal 4 teaspoonfuls baking 1 cupful corn flour. powder. 1 cupful milk. 1 tablespoonful melt- 2 eggs. ed fat. 1 teaapoonful salt. These muffins made from corn flour and boiled rice or boiled hominy grits are also delicious; Muffins. 1 cupin't corn' baked in butter or 2 teaspoonful baked rice. 1 cupful sweet milk. $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonful salt. $\frac{1}{2}$ cupful corn $\frac{1}{2}$ tablespoonful melt-fluor. Griddle cakes and waffles are always popular. Buckwheat cakes made with baking powder in place of the old-fashioned yeast-raised buckwheat cakes are very good. Buckwheat Cakes or Waffles. 2 teaspoonfuls bak- 1 tablespoonful melting powder. ed shortening. 1 teaspoonful salt. Corn flour, barley flour, or one-half corn flour and one-half peanut meal or sweet potato flour can be used in the following recipe to make delicious, crisp, brown waffles: Waffles. 1¼ cupfuls milk. 2 cupfuls flour. 2 eggs. 3 teaspoonfuls bak- 2 tablespoonfuls fat. ing powder. 1 teaspoonful salt. WHAT YOU ARE MISSING Get acquainted with the delicious quick breads that can be made without wheat flour. If every family in the United States were acquainted with them, a wheat shortage would never pinch again, war or no war. By not being acquainted with them, you are missing an opportunity for sorely needed patriotic service. Besides, you are missing the opportunity of eating delicous bread. Get acquainted with quick breads made from cornmeal and wheat substitutes. It is a duty you owe your country—and a pleasure you owe yourself. "New" Spinach is Favorite. This is just an item about spinach and how you can help prevent a rather important loss in it. All that is asked of you is that you do not discriminate unfairly, when you go to market, in the matter of two kinds of spinach which are practically alike except in looks. Prickly seeded spinach is an old type that is coming back on the market this year because seed of the common spinach—Savoy-leaf—is scarce. It resembles the dandelion somewhat in appearance. It has just as much food value and as good a flavor as the smoother-leafed Savoy which you are more accustomed to buying, and can be cooked in the same way. Only a few years ago, before the Savoy became almost the only type grown commercially, the prickly seeded spinach was the most popular kind produced for winter use. So don't snub this old favorite. Specialists of the United States department of agriculture are eager to have this explanation spread broadcast because they fear a loss may result from the belief of many consumers and dealers that the prickly-seeded type is a new one differing in food value. Why Use Cornmeal? A 35-bushel yield of corn, which crop produces more human food than any other commonly grown on American farms, will supply nearly 150 pounds of protein needed for flesh building and more than 3,000,000 units (calories) of energy. Wherever conditions are favorable for extending corn acreage it is evident that considerable addition can be made to the supply of human food. Let it be urged once again, use more cornmeal. Millers should give special attention to the preparation of cornmeal of good quality and housewives should use increased quantities of this nutritious and palatable product as a substitute for wheat for bread making and other purposes. It is more practicable to increase the use of cornmeal in this country than abroad, for our people are familiar with corn as a food, while most European peoples are not, though now they try to do what they can. Savory Meat Savers. Beans, peas and other legumes are especially important articles of food at the time because of the large amount of protein they contain, which makes them valuable as meat savers. The legumes protein, however, is not a complete substitute for that supplied by meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, etc. The legumes will not, therefore, entirely take the place of meat and similar sources of protein in the diet. They should perhaps be looked upon as meat savers rather than meat substitutes. They will perform their function as food better if used in connection with some of the other sources of protein named rather than alone. For this reason such dishes as the following, for example, are preferable to beans or other legumes alone: Pork and beans, Boston roast (cold baked beans and cheese), bean soup with boiled egg, stews of meat and legumes, bean cowquettes with boiled egg, and bean chowders and purees with milk.

FIFTY DOLLARS! HIC - THEY'RE CRAZY-HIC --- Union Saved by Army of Schoolboy's Orion P. Howe Nearly 1,000,000 Soldiers Who Served in Federal Army Were Under 16 Years of Age THE FACT that the draft law under which the United States is now raising its armies placed the minimum age of men to be included in the draft at twenty-one years has called attention to the extreme youth of the men who made up the forces that fought and won the Civil war. It may truthfully be said that the war was won by an army of school-boys. The younger generation probably is not aware of the fact that nearly a million of those who carried muskets on behalf of the Federal cause were less than sixteen years of age when they enlisted. Statistics show that there were exactly 844,891 boys under that age in the Federal army. There were 1,151,438 under eighteen years of age, and of the total enlistments of 2,778,300 there were 2,159,798 under twenty-one years of age. probably is not million of those the Federal cause age when they enere were exactly the Federal army.een years of age, 78,300 there were of age. boys.

There were 1,151,438 under eighteen years of age, and of the total enlistments of 2,778,300 there were 2,159,798 under twenty-one years of age. Not only were the great majority of privates less than twenty-one years of age, but the records show that companies, regiments and brigades were commanded literally by schoolboys. At the close of the war, it is said, it was the exception to find a brigade or division commander who was more than thirty years old. Brig. Gen. John L. Clem is generally credited with being the youngest soldier on record. He was born in Newark, O., August 13, 1851. He was not quite ten years old when he entered the volunteer service as a drummer at the beginning of the war. Two years later, when he was still not quite twelve years old, he was regularly enlisted and took his place in the ranks. He was made a sergeant for bravery displayed in the battle of Chickamauga and served until the close of the war. He returned to school when the war ended and graduated from the Newark high school. In 1871 he was appointed a second lieutenant in the regular army and remained in the regular service until 1915, when he was retired with the rank of brigadier general. Among the heroes who were awarded the congressional medal of honor for valor shown upon the field of battle there were many who were mere children. A veteran officer of the Federal army, writing in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, recalled some interesting history connected with some of these youthful heroes. The writer gave the following account of some of these unusual cases: "Robinson B, Murphy was born May 11, 1849. He enlisted as musician at the beginning of the war and the official statement of the action for which he gained his congress medal reads: awarded the con- rison shown upon the who were mere the Federal army, Ledger, recalled bed with some of r gave the follow- sual cases: On May 11, 1849. beginning of the of the action for real reads: message the call an unu him the the gov one of spect.

A veteran officer of the Federal army, writing in the Philadelphia Public Ledger, recalled some interesting history connected with some of these youthful heroes. The writer gave the following account of some of these unusual cases: "Robinson B, Murphy was born May 11, 1849. He enlisted as musician at the beginning of the war and the official statement of the action for which he gained his congress medal reads: "At Atlanta, Ga., July 28, 1864, being orderly to the brigade commander, he voluntarily led two regiments as re-enforcements into line of battle, where he had his horse shot from under him." "He enlisted August 6, 1862, at the age of twelve years, two months and twenty-four days, in the One Hundred Twenty-seventh Illinois Volunteer infantry, and was made orderly to the colonel of the regiment. In January, 1864, he was made orderly to Gen. J. A. J. Lightburn, and participated in several hard-fought battles. In the army he was known as 'Boh.' When he performed the wonderful feat that gained him the medal he was only fifteen years old. The circumstances under which young Murphy led two regiments into battle were as follows: "The division in which General Lightburn commanded was that day on the extreme right of the army, which was being flanked by the enemy. Young Murphy was sent to the right by his general to find out the situation, and finding that the enemy had flanked the right wing and was driving them, he rode on his pony down the line and met General Logan, who commanded that day, and begged him with tears in his eyes for re-enforcements, telling him they were cutting our right all to pieces. The general replied: 'I have ordered re-enforcements from the left, and here they come now, and if you know where they are needed, Bob, show them in.' And that is how he came to lead the two regiments that day. General Lightburn wrote regarding Bob that he was 'not only brave and faithful, but displayed remarkable judgment for one of his age, as I soon found out. I could depend on him under any circumstances that might arise.' "And here is another very little chap who gained his medal, Orion P. Howe, born December 29, 1848. He enlisted early in the war and was wounded at Vicksburg and three times at Dallas, Ga. His record is a brilliant one, and General Sherman tells the story in a letter of August 8, 1863: "Headquarters Fifteenth Army Corps, Camp on Black River, August 8, 1863. "Hon. E. Stanton, Secretary of War. "Sir: I take the liberty of asking, through you, that something be done for a lad named Orion P. Howe of Waukegan, Ill., who belongs to the Fifty-fifth Illinois, but at present is home wounded. I think he is too young for West Point, but would be the very thing for a midshipman. When the assault at Vicksburg was at its height, on the 19th of May, and I was in front near the road, which formed my line of attack, this young lad came up to me, wounded and bleeding, with a good, healthy boy's cry: "General Sherman, send some cartridges to Colonel Malmburg; the men are nearly all out." "What's the matter, my boy?" "They shot me in the leg, sir, but I can go to the hospital. Send the T " Hon. E. Stanton, Secretary of War. oldier Gen. John L. Clem, youngest soldier on record cartridges right away." Even where he stood the shot fell thick, and I told him to go to the rear at once. I would attend to the cartridges; and off he limped. Just before he disappeared on the hill, he turned and called as loud as he could: "Caliber 54." I have not seen the lad since, and his colonel (Malmburg) on inquiry gives me the address above, and says he is a bright, intelligent boy, with a fair preliminary education. What arrested my attention then was—and what renewed my memory of the fact now is—that one so young, carrying a musket-ball through his leg, should have found his way to me on that fatal spot, and delivered his message, not forgetting the very important part of the caliber of his musket, 54, which you know is an unusual one. I'll warrant that the boy has in him the elements of a man, and I commend him to the government as one worth the fostering care of one of the national institutions. I am, with respect. "When the poet, George H. Boker, learned of the episode of young Howe, he put the story in verse. "John Cook, too, gained a medal of honor when a mere child. He was born in Ohio, August 10, 1847, and enlisted in Battery B, Fourth United States artillery, at the breaking out of the war. He was serving as bugler at Antietam, and certainly did enough to merit his medal. The boy distinguished himself at Antietam and in every fight in which the command was engaged. At Antietam the battery was knocked to pieces, losing about 50 per cent of the men, killed or wounded. Captain Campbell fell, severely wounded, and young Cook assisted him to the rear, quickly returning to the firing line, where, seeing nearly all the men down and not enough left to man the guns, the little fellow unstrapped a pouch of ammunition from the body of a dead gunner who was lying near one of the calssons, ran forward with it and acted as gunner until the end of the fight. "J. C. Julius Langbein was a very small boy, indeed, when at the battle of Camden, North Carolina, April 15, 1862, he won his' congress medal. The official record states that 'when a drummer boy, he voluntarily and under a heavy fire went to the aid of a wounded officer, procured medical aid for him and aided in carrying him to a place of safety.' After the battle he was granted a short leave of absence to visit his parents, and what a thrill of happiness the boy must have felt when he handed his mother a commendatory letter from his company commander. "And here is another boy who wears the congress medal of honor, nobly won: George D. Sidman, a schoolboy from Michigan, a mere child in years, when he made his great record and won the medal for 'distinguished bravery in battle at Gaines Mills, June 27, 1862.' This battle, the second of the 'Seven Days' Battles' before Richmond, was one of the most disastrous battles of the Civil war, wherein Fitz John Porter's Fifth army corps was pitted against the three army corps of Generals Longstreet, Hill and 'Stonewall' Jackson.

"Brig. Gen. Daniel Butterfield's brigade, composed of the Twelfth, Seventeenth and Forty-fourth New York, the Eighty-third Pennsylvania and Sixteenth Michigan Volunteer infantry regiments, that day occupied the left line of battle in the form of a curve, with the Sixteenth and Eighty-third on the extreme left and resting on the border of Chickahominy swamp. Here the brigade was called upon to resist several desperate charges of the enemy during the day, which, in every instance, resulted in defeat of the attacking forces. "It was in this 'forlorn hope' rally that Sidman, then a youth of seventeen, serving in the ranks of Company C, Sixteenth Michigan, as a private, but borne on the roils of his company as a drummer boy, distinguished himself by waving his gun and calling upon his comrades to rally on the colors as he had done, thus setting an example that was "It was in this 'forlorn hope' rally that Sidman, then a youth of seventeen, serving in the ranks of Company C, Sixteenth Michigan, as a private, but borne on the rolls of his company as a drummer boy, distinguished himself by waving his gun and calling upon his comrades to rally on the colors as he had done, thus setting an example that was "Major General Commanding; THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1918 speedily followed by a number of others, and winning the approbation of Major Welch of his regiment, who was a witness of the heroic act. He was in the front rank of the charge back upon the enemy, and in the almost hand-to-hand conflict that followed fell severely wounded through the left hip by a mule ball. "On the morning of December 13, 1862, while the Fifth corps was drawn up in line of battle on Stafford heights waiting for orders to cross the Rappahanock river and enter Fredericksburg. Colonel Stockton, commanding the Third brigade, First division, called upon the Sixteenth Michigan for a volunteer to carry the new brigade flag that had just reached the command. Sidman, but now partially recovered from his wound, sprang from the ranks and begged for this duty. His patriotism and fidelity to duty, well known to Major Welch, now commanding the regiment, won for him the coveted prize, much to the chagrin of several other comrades who valiantly offered their services. Leading his brigade on its famous charge up Marye's heights, in that terrible slaughter under Burnside, he was again wounded, but not so severely as to prevent him from planting the colors within 150 yards of the enemy's line, where they remained for 30 hours. Three days later he proudly bore his flag back across the Rappahanock, marked by a broken shaft and several holes, caused by the enemy's missiles during the charge. "It was in this battle, Sunday, December 14, 1862, while the brigade lay all day hugging the ground behind the slight elevation a few yards in front of the enemy, momentarily expecting an attack, that Sldman, with a comrade of his own company, displayed humanity as well as remarkable valor by running the gauntlet through a railroad cut for canteens of water for the sick and wounded comrades who could not be removed from the lines; this at a time, too, when the enemy's sharpshooters were so stationed as to command the ground a considerable distance in the rear of the brigade lines. It was this distinguished service of humanity at Fredericksburg, in the face of a vigilant enemy and with almost certain death staring him in the face, that prompted his officers in recommending him for the medal of honor. The war department, with a full record knowledge of his service from Gaines Mills to Fredericksburg, and for reasons best known to itself, decided that the medal was earned at the first-named battle, with continuing merit to the end of his military service. "Perhaps the most dangerous duty that a soldier can be engaged in is that of scout. In a book published after the war, and called 'Hampton and His Cavalry,' the following definition of a scout is given: 'The scouts of the army did not constitute a distinct organization, but suitable men volunteering for this duty were detailed from the different commands. The position required not only coolness, courage, zeal and intelligence, but special faculties born in some few men.' "The line of demarcation between a scout and a spy was at times very ill-defined, for, as the scouts were usually dressed in enemy's uniforms which they had captured, they were by strict military law subject to the penalty of spies if taken within the enemy's lines, and they were not without pleasant experiences of that sort. "Undoubtedly one of the most distinguished of this class was Archibald Hamilton Rowand, Jr., who received the medal because of the endorsement of General Sheridan, who knew and appreciated his great services to the cause. "Rowand was born March 6, 1845, in Philadelphia, Pa., and enlisted June 17, 1862, in Company K, First West Virginia cavalry, and served until August 17, 1865. His services were not only remarkable, but most valuable to the cause. He was one of the most daring and most trusted of Sheridan's scouts. "Once, while scouting for Averill, he was captured, but told such a plausible story to the Confederate officers about being a Confederate scout with verbal orders from one distant general to another that he was allowed to depart. The first time he was detailed on scout duty his two companions were shot and killed. On his next trip his comrade and his own horse were killed when they were 18 miles inside of the Confederate lines, but Rowand managed to dodge the enemy's bullets and get back alive, vowing at every jump never to go on scout duty again. He soon recovered from his fright, however, and started out on another trip. While with Sheridan he was asked to locate the notorious partisan leader, Maj. Harry Glimore, and, if possible, effect his capture. "After several days' hard work he found Glimore stopping in a large country mansion near Moorfield, W. Va. This he reported to Sheridan, who sent with him about fifteen scouts under Colonel Young. They dressed in Confederate uniforms and, followed by 300 Federal cavalry at a distance of several miles, to be of assistance in case the true character of the scouts was discovered, they arrived near Glimore's command about daybreak, and Rowand went forward alone and, single-handed, captured the vidette without a shot being fired. The scouts then entered the family mansion and took Glimore out of bed and back to Sheridan's headquarters." IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1918, Western Newpaper Union. LESSON FOR MAY 26 JESUS SILENCES HIS ADVER- SARIES.

SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC—Religion and citizenship. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Romans 13:1-7; I Timothy 2:1, 2. I. The Parable of the Husbandman (vv. 1-12). Having put the scribes, chief priests and elders to confusion by a skillful counter-question when they demanded his authority, Jesus, by means of a little story, lays before them his claim of divine authority, and charges them with betrayal of trust and plotting to murder the very Son of God. His teaching in this parable cut them to the quick, and they sought to lay hands upon him, but desisted for fear of the people. This parable is simple, yet very comprehensive. II. The Tribute Money (vv. 13-17). They already would have gladly taken him by violence and killed him, but they feared the people. In order to destroy him, they seek to discredit him among the people. To this end they send the representatives of both factions—"certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to catch him in his words" (v. 13). III. The Resurrection of the Dead (vv. 18-27). The Pharisees and Herodians being silenced, the Sadducees came with a question which involved not only the immortality but the resurrection of the body. The Sadducees were the rationalists of their day. They denied the reality of the resurrection, and believed not in angel nor spirit (Acts 23:8). 1. The case proposed (vv. 19-23). The law of Moses made it not only legal but morally binding in the case of a man dying without children for his brother to take his wife (Deut. 22.5). They propose the case of a woman married successively to seven brothers. They ask whose wife she shall be in the resurrection. This was doubtless a hypothetical case. This is the way the successors of the Saddueces do today. They deal largely in hypotheses. 2. Jesus' reply (vv. 24-26). By a quotation from the Mosaic law (Ex. 3:6) he proves the resurrection of the dead, and their continued existence beyond the dead as human beings. The immortal spirit clothed with a deathless body is his thought. He shows that marriage is only for this present life—does not belong to the resurrection life. Some of the functions of the body will cease with this life. Since there will be no death after the resurrection, there will be no necessity for births. In this respect humankind will be as the angels in the resurrection life. He points out to them that their great error was due to two things: 1. Ignorance of the Scriptures (v. 24). In the very Scriptures which they professed to believe was positive proof of the resurrection (Ex. 3:6). Rationalism and infidelity today, as then, are due to ignorance of God's Word. 2. Ignorance of the power of God (v. 24). God is able to provide a life where there is no death, no births or marringes. In heaven, life will be on a plane infinitely higher than the most blessed relationships of this life. Our chief concern is to find out what is written, and then believe that God is able to accomplish that which he has promised. IV. The Great Commandment of the Law (vv. 28-34). The code of morals among the Jews was very complex. The question as to which of God's commands was first was frequently debated. Christ's answer shows marvelous insight. He sums up man's whole duty in one word—love, love to God and love to man. The first and great commandment is supreme and undivided love to God. The second is like unto it in that love is its center, but love is for our neighbor in the measure that we love ourselves. Love for God is to be supreme. He is worthy of all our affections. Love is the actuating power behind all our service. Having put his questioners to silence, Jesus now puts to them a question which involves the central doctrine of the Christian faith—the person of Christ (vv. 35:40). Is he human or divine, or both? Whose Son is he? Is the supreme test of a man's orthodoxy. V. The Widow's Mite (vv. 41-44). This is a picture in striking contrast with that of the Pharisees and Sadducees. This poor woman was doing that which in the sight of the world was insignificant, but in the sight of the Lord was of great moment. The words of the Lord discover unto us the fact that in God's sight a gift is measured by the heart motive, and not by its amount. The widow's mite was all she had. Our gifts are not mites unless they are our entire possessiona Suit of Jersey for Summer THE OAK TREE Girl's Jacket-Dress of Voile Girl's Jacket-Dress of Voile A girl in a white dress holding a bouquet of flowers. Sometimes we see a suit or dress which has been presented by its designer without any attempt to depart from good, accepted standards of style in its construction. The charm of such a design lies in other things than originality or startling novelty. It is embodied in the best use of all the means at hand to make a perfect garment of its kind. A lovely example of this conservative and elegant designing is shown in the suit of embroidered jersey—made for wear in midsummer—pictured here. It is in French gray with embroidery in white and will please every discerning woman. There is nothing to say of its design that is not told by the picture. The skirt and coat are both cut on the simplest lines and embellished with a wide band of embroidery. The belt, of the material, is narrower than is usual in this season's suits and finished with a small, prim bow at the front and the fastening of the coat at the Girl's Jacket- One set of ingredients that have been used with great success for children's summer frocks includes volle, wash satin, colored embroidery silks for fancy stitching, and little crochet buttons. They have been put together in many ways in frocks for little girls from three to eleven or twelve years old. Distribute a set to each of a half-dozen designers, or designing mothers, and the result will be another half-dozen fetching little dresses, each worked out according to the age of the little one who is to wear it and the fancy of its maker. A coneate, or jacket effect, is likely to make its appearance among them. Anywhere, from the time she steps beyond the limit of babyhood until she is about to enter the flapper stage, coate dresses are among the prized possessions of the little girl. Here is one of them for a little miss of eleven, made of the before-mentioned set of ingredients. If any one is able to combine them in better proportion, to better or as good effect, let her send in her recipe for the benefit of a waiting multitude of mothers. This little frock is of white volle with fancy stitching and smocking in blue. Blue wash satin is used for the bust and waistline is managed cleverly. It is a formal suit to be developed in either silk or wool jersey with silk having certain advantages. The skirt, worn with a pretty blouse of georgette crepe in the same color, makes a semidress costume equal to any requirement, in war times, and the coat will do service with any frock in place of a handsome sweater coat. Its collar is partly white, in the fashion of smart new sweaters and sweater coats, and its color makes it look well with any frock. For patriotic reasons many women will not buy wool. In this suit silk is not offered as a substitute for wool, but as a more appropriate material for the character of the suit. A gray parasol, made of flowered chiffon, is in keeping with it and correspondingly dressy footwear is provided for it in black kid pumps and gray silk stockings. No other material would do just as well as jersey for this suit. Dress of Voile collar and cuffs and for the narrow, belt, and tiny white crochet buttons finish them off. Smocking takes care of the fullness of the frock at the front and provides, at the same time, a decoration that outlines the jacket. Feather stitching appears at the top of the hem and at the neck and across the smocked front of the dress. The sleeves are three-quarter length. For a tiny girl of four to six or seven years the blue satin may be left out and voile used for belt, collar and cuffs—outlined with leather stitching in blue. White lisle stockings and low black slippers are appropriately worn with this attractive little dress. It is durable and inexpensive and it is not all difficult to make. All these are good points that will recommend it to sensible mothers. Julia Bottomly Brightening Sweaters.
