In keeping with the policy of Conservation and to serve the best interests of the fraternity Most Worshipful Grand Master W. W. Fields of the Missouri Jurisdiction of Masons has called off the Grand Lodge Session that was to have been held in Omaha until such date in 1919 as he thinks advisable. The opinion among the fraternity is that Grand Master has acted wisely and well which means a saving to the fraternity on railroad fares, expenses and so forth of more than $12,000. We suggest that every lodge use the money they were going to spend for delegates' expenses to square themselves with the Relief and Burial Departments and buying Liberty Bonds. LATE C. H. J.

A DISTRESSING TRAGEDY. The danger of leaving children unguarded and allowing them to play with deadly weapons brought sorrow to the homes of two Kansas City families last Wednesday when little Earl Robinson, 7 years of age, and residing near 27th and Vine street, found an old gun loaded and playfully aiming it at little Ora Hackley and a companion who were passing him on Highland avenue, in the 2600 block, shot and fatally wounded little Ora. She was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Butler, 2611 Highland ool Girls in the neat but quiet uniform t avenue, from which place an ambulance was called, but before they reached the hospital she died from a wound in her side. The little girl lived near 22nd and Highland avenue and both were pupils of Wendell-Phillips School. DR. PERRY IMPROVING. The many friends who have been in suspense as to the outcome of the recent operation which Dr. J. E. Perry underwent will be pleased indeed to know that he is gradually improving. With the best attention of physicians and nurses Dr. Perry was able to be removed to his home last Friday evening at 2451 Montgall avenue. He desires to express his sincere thanks to all the hundreds of friends who have inquired of him during his illness. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1918. ARE YOU HUNGRY. By Charles A. Starks. Remember, you can do the public no good if you are hungry, and the only way to become full is by honest, legitimate effort in solving the problems of economy. It is the duty of every citizen. White or Black, to sincerely try this scheme. And after you have put proper agents to work and realize a certain satisfaction you are then bound to interest yourself in the moral, political and social conditions of your people. This is a Man, this is a Citizen. We are honest workers before we are good citizens, good citizens before we are True Reformers; true reformers are what we must be hat has been adopted by the girls of Lin if we would not only contribute to the stability of our community by conforming to its spirit, but also weed out and fight the known evils, existing within its ranks. When I say "Problems of Economy" I mean earning your meat and bread, paying your rent, protecting your family with the comforts of home, adding certain means of culture and even enjoying some of the luxuries of life. Now what if any one opposes you in your effort to do these things? What if a well-established but unfavorable industrial system contends your rights to live and live good? If it does it is striking at your very soul. It says you shall not progress, your women and children shall not be protected, you shall not ask a fair place for them in the scheme of life. But if you fight for these things intelligently you prove yourself a Man; there are none better, you are as good as any under the Sun and you have a ```markdown ``` right to succeed under this fine influence. Are you hungry? If so, remember that in spite of any adverse systems we all have the noble privilege to work and the grand incentive of right to urge us on to some solid accomplishment. Today Wisdom speaks in its triple way to those who would succeed. It says: There are three things required in any economic venture, they are Brains, Industry and Money. See Mr. Clyde L. Glass for advanced training in piano. Concert, recital and stage work a specialty. Troy Hall. 2400 Paseo, phone Bell, Grand 1766W. coln High School. QUEEN OF SHEBA TEMPLE No. 284 CELEBRATES. Annual May party was celebrated at Lyric hall, Friday night, May 31. The feast of seven tables were served and everyone present was a most enjoyable time. A patriotic Mole pay by 14 girls was a beautiful scene. They were well trained by Mrs. Edith Black, bringing out the effect of the Stars and Stripes. The Queen contest between Mrs. Eliza Lynn and Mrs. Pearl Scott was a decided success. Mrs. Scott, carrying away the honors. Mrs. Scott reported $100. Mrs. Lynn, $56.25. A hearty applause greeted Mrs. Scott from her supporters. She was presented with a huge bouquet by friends. On account of the absence of the Grand Master, Dr. J. H. Williams, Mrs. Anna Robers, Most Worthy Princess, performed the crowning ceremonies, presenting Mrs. Scott with a beautiful jeweled crown and $10. "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." Total receipts, $205.55. MISS BLOSSOM FOX, The winner of the J. W. Perry Orat- terical Contest. Hampton, Va.—Five hundred rich Negro voices singing with fine spirit, tone, and attack the eight-part Paal choruses and interpreting for a large audience the leading numbers of Mendelssohn's "Elijah" and Cowen's "Rose Maiden;" five hundred singers assisted by soloists—Mr. Geoffrey O'Hara, Dr. J. T. Lattimore, Miss Bessie L. Drew, and Miss Clara D. H. Smith, who threw themselves whole-heartedly into the big numbers of "Elijah"—these are the impressions one carries away from the recent Hampton Institute spring concert, which was given with the effective and adequate accompaniments of Mrs. R. Nathaniel Detf. Unique Choruses. This concert was given under the skilful direction of R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton Institute since 1913, who has been making distinct contributions to American art through his religious folk-song choruses. "Weeping Mary" and "I'll Never Turn Back No More," two new choruses,—written in his characteristic style, have just been published by J. Fischer and Brother, Bible House, New York. These choruses are founded on Negro folk-song themes. They are four-part choruses for mixed voices and are to be sung unaccompanied. These unique folk-song choruses have already been enthusiastically received by prominent musicians and choir directors. Other interesting choral productions of this composer-pianist include "Listen to the Lambs," "O Holy Lord," and "Music in the Mine," all published by G. Schirmer. The Sun was pleased with a very pleasant caller, Mrs. Lula May Chester, the poetess of the South, who has published some very creditable songs and character sketches. Mrs. Chester is temporarily stopping in our city and would doubtless be a drawing card at any form of entertainment. She is stopping at 1620 Forest avenue. "GREATEST IN HISTORY" That's What the Management of the Newly Furnished and Equipped People's Drug Store Said of Their Sales Last Sunday. Over 1,000 Persons Served From Their Elegant Soda Fountain Alone During the Day. That the People's Drug Store has an established place in the hearts of the people of this Community and vicinity was amply demonstrated last Sunday by the tremendous volume of business done at this very popular Emporium. Dr. Lambright, the Manager, said at the close of the day's business, it was the greatest day's business ever done in the 14 years of their existence. The Sun is equally proud with the management of their remarkable success for the reason that it demonstrates the value and drawing power of advertising. Dr. Lambright says that regardless of the demand made upon them they shall continue to handle the purest drugs, the best cream and give the most courteous service possible. Strangers and visitors in the city are invited to make the People's their headquarters. Long distance telephone connection with every place. City Directory, Street Guides and everything to make one's visit in the city enjoyable. Remember their location—Paseo, corner of 18th street. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public a telegram sent yesterday to Governor W. P. Hobby of Texas, protesting against the lynching of Mrs. Sarah Cabiness and her five sons at Huntsville, Texas, and the fatal wounding of her daughter, on June 1, as the result of an altercation between a white man and George Cabiness. Mr. Shillady calls the attention of the Governor to the fact that sixteen Negroes have been lynched in the state of Texas alone since America entered the war, and pointedly asks the Governor concerning his action in bringing to justice the murderers of the six Negroes. At a time when 157,000 Negroes are offering their lives for the preservation of the ideals of democracy, the Association wishes to know if the Negroes of Texas are to be given their share of the democracy for which they are fighting. Mrs. Matilda Baker, 49 years of age, passed away after a brief illness at her residence, 1712 Michigan avenue. Mrs. Baker was a member for a number of years of the Second Baptist Church, Vice-Princess of New Hope Temple (S. M. T.) and of the Household of Ruth under whose auspices the funedal was held last Sunday at 1:30 p. m. She leaves a son, two brothers and two sisters to mourn her loss. The burial wasin Highland cemetery. We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions.

The work is progressing in a satisfactory manner on the building at 1826 Forest avenue and it is hoped that the contractors will be able to turn it over to the management by July 4th. The hospital facilities for Colored people will probably be more acute this winter than ever before in the history of the city and that there is urgent need for a large and commodious institution of this character for our people is evidenced by the fact that there is constantly a waiting list at the present institution seeking admission.

Are we going to sit quiescent, twirling our thumbs, and not seek to counter against this latest attack at our liberties?

THE STATE FIXED THE PRICES FOR OUR PRODUCTS. WE ARE COMPELLED TO SELL AT THOSE PRICES UNTIL THEY ARE REVISED. We do not know how long this era of high costs will last, but we are prepared to show the Commission that they are greater than the prices we receive, and we ask relief only until the costs go back to normal. When the prices of things necessary to produce heat and electricity are reduced, the State has a right to reduce the rates, and when prices increase the State should exercise the same right to increase the rates. We only want our rates adjusted to meet the present conditions. We do not want exhorbitant rates, neither can we continue to exist on present rates. We are asking only fair play. We cannot prosper unless the city prospers, and the city cannot prosper unless we continue to grow, for industrial development requires electric light.

Its motto is to be honest, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, polite, obedient and brave; and under the had of Duties are incorporated many helpful and useful ideas which if put in practice will unquestionably lift the standard of the race. It was organized by Miss Ross in 1904 at a large mass meeting in Carnegie hall, New York City, and she has never ceased her efforts to make it a useful instrument in race development and race achievement. Every well thinking and well wishing member of the race should give Miss Ross their unqualified support in this excellent movement. BROOKFIELD.

Through the establishment of the line of communication canteens in France the American Red Cross is setting records in serving hot coffee, cocoa and sandwiches to the troops. One of these refreshment units made another new record recently, serving more than 50,000 meals in one week. At another a cup of coffee was served every ten seconds for a period of two consecutive hours. In a single week these lines of communication canteens often serve 80,000 American and French soldiers. Soldiers in Box Carr. Do our soldiers and their allies really want this form of Red Cross service? A letter from a young American aviator, a 1917 graduate of Princeton University, is probably typical. It might be added that this man has since been reported killed after bringing down a German Taube. "A 50 mile train ride over here," he said, "instead of taking a few hours may take days. When we stop at a Red Cross canteen you can bet that a cup of coffee tastes like a million dollars." It is not always possible for a regiment to provide sufficient food and hot coffee on these long journeys, where the men must often be packed standing into unheated box cars ordinarily used for carrying horses. So imagine for yourself the warmth, the cheer, the comfort that piping hot coffee and good sandwiches bring to our boys after a night on such a journey! You can just bet that it stiffens a man's courage. Your Red Cross is handing out this renewed courage by the piping hot cupful. Danger in "Pushing" Pupils At one of the institutes held in Toronto, Chief Inspector Cowley expressed the opinion that there was as much danger in pushing a pupil on as in keeping him back. "Hurry Slowly," is a good motto, he said. He gave statistics to show that out of 61,000 pupils due for promotion last summer only 12,000 passed. The reason for this included irregularity, ill-health, lack of ability, poor home conditions and slow mental development. Peanuts as Consumption Cure A doctor has suggested that a diet of peanuts is a cure for consumption. He records the case of two young women who had grown sick of cod liver oil and tonics and who were treated by him with salted peanuts—all they could eat—combined with inhalations of vinegar. Both patients became plump, and after one year's inhalation ceased coughing, and were pronounced cured. Peanuts are recommended also for sleeplessness. "I might have known that you would refuse me," said the poor and passionate young man who had failed to make an impression on the maiden's heart. "I noticed a metallic ring in your voice when I entered the drawing room tonight that boded me no good." "And had you been a little more observant," she replied, "you would also have observed a metallic ring on my third finger that Billy Bagsful placed there last night." Good Advice. Visitor—My poor friend, pause to consider when next you are tempted. Take time, my dear man, take time. Convict—That's, wot I done. I did take time—I took a watch. Complaints in Order. "Old Smith is complaining of the vertical writing in schools," "He's an old grouch. Next thing he'll be objecting to the horizontal bars." Cure for the "Blues." One of the cures for depression is a long walk in the fresh air. Not dawdling up and down the set staring into shop windows, but a good brisk walk of many blocks, with the mind concentrated on something else than our troubles. A good book is another cure and perhaps one of the best. Even letter writing may serve or a visit to a friend. Action, action, action! That is what one must force one's self into if the melancholy is to be dispelled. There are so many real troubles and sorrows in the world. There are so many brave persons wrestling with real problems it seems too bad that any one should lose a chance of happiness in worry over imaginary troubles. Remember that every shield has two sides and that one side is golden. Look on the bright side of the shield. His Duty Done. The family is rather demonstrative when the various members of the household come and go. The grandchildren are expected to embrace every one at the beginning and at the end of a visit. Fred and Albert were getting into their clothing and making their hasty adieux preparatory to catching their train home after Christmas. "Hurry up, Fred," Albert shouted; "you're too slow for anything. I've got mine all kissed." SECOND OFFICIAL CALL OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN.

He assured William he was a patriot and would take him to a place to buy the bonds. William drew the money from the bank and was proceeding along the street with the helpful Adam when they encountered a friend, whom Adam had known since he first peeked out of his bassinette. Oddly enough, the friend had invented a machine which with one whiff could asphyxiate the kaiser, crack the kneecaps of his troops, feed the German populace, blow the sandals and bloomers off the Turks and make it possible for the poor to use whip cream in their coffee forever and a day. All that the machine needed was one bolt, three platinum dizzy pins and a cerise plush ribbon, all of which could be bought for $694.75. William decided to further investigate the machine that would stop the war and so all repaired to a cute but not bizarre thirst parlor. Before sunlight skidded down over William's cheeks the party was having the tenth round, all of which tasted peculiar. Twenty-four hours later William awoke a bit dazed. He felt for the $700. To put it pointedly—it had vanished. So had his friend Adam. William went to the police, who were sympathetic, but inclined to be giggly as he led up to the story's climax. So William is through cheering, for the duration of the war.

He refolded the newspaper, slipped it under the blind man's arm, helped himself to a shrug and walked on. A teamster with an unclean neck but perhaps a clean heart was driving by. He saw the performance and with a wild whoop jumped from his seat and grabbed the nifty dresser by the arm. "Stealing the news from a blind man!" he exclaimed. "That's a little more than the limit. You wouldn't give a man the mumps when you got through with 'em." And with that he delivered a back-hand slap across the headline purloiner's face. And a cop on the corner, aroused by the crowd, walked over, saw what was going on and discreetly turned his face away.

His bray, once of callope power, has been reduced to a pathetic sniffle. Romeo has been introduced to many aspiring mules, but he refuses to put on the old work act with a new partner. Because Romeo's usefulness as an industrious mule has been totally destroyed, the owner wants Mr. Yardle to pay him for the loss of both animals. Justice Morschauser makes no secret of the fact that he is puzzled by the case. At a late hour he was still searching for an authority in mule lore.

The twins pillowed their heads at night in the rear hallway of a downtown moving picture theater, so Joe said, and were patrons of the place during the day. Torn pants—that is, Joe was the offender—are blamed by Billy for having prompted the twins' latest expedition. Billy said Joe met with an accident necessitating an attempt to repair a rent in his pantaloons, the operation having made them late for school in the first place, and it was not altogether a success in the second place. So they just naturally didn't go to school. The rest has been told. Patriotism in its most acute form attacked William. He was pressing trousers in his tailor shop at the time and when he got through cheering and applauding as a drum corps passed there was an aroma of stewed cheviot about the shop and the trousers had gone to their reward.

JUNE 8. 1918. New City of Old World Harbor of Odessa. O DESSA, the Russian seaport, captured by the Germans not long ago, has been widely known as an important center of shipping and commerce, but its interest does not lie so much in its great docked harbor, its fine churches and public buildings, its factories or its size—it had half a million people at the beginning of the war—as in the fact that a century and a quarter ago there was none of these in existence. New York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia are cities almost ancient in comparison with Odessa. Odessa is a sort of Chicago or Kansas City of Europe—a "new town," in the language of the West. Just as there were Indian trading posts where Chicago and Kansas City had their beginnings, so there was a wretched little Turkish village on the future site of Odessa in the time of Catherine the Great of Russia. Russia saw the possibilities of a port on the Black sea and reached out and took it, with little or no protest, for Hdjl Bey, as the Turkish village was called, was not worth quarrelling about. Catherine founded Odessa by script in 1704 and the "booming" of the new city began. Grain Built the City. The Russian "pioneers" built their town on the plateau which forms a terrace from 100 to 150 feet above the water front. Today a great staircase, which is one of the wonders of Odessa, leads up in broken flights from the harbor to the city proper. Located at the northwest angle of the Black sea, midway between the estuaries of the great Dnileper and Dnilester rivers, Odessa was the natural commercial outlet for the vast stretches of grain-producing valleys beyond and its growth was like that of the Western trade centers in America. The English ships found their way there to load their holds with grain, and exporting as the years went by, grew steadily in volume for a number of years. The Crimean war interrupted English trade with Russia, but when the conflict was over the British traders returned to Odessa. It was at this period that they were forced to divide the trade with Germany, for German shippers had seized the opportunity to gain a foothold in the port. The war offers just now an odd parallel of that war of trade waged 60 years ago. It may be of significance to recall that the ultimate result of the Anglo-German contest for Russia's Odessa trade was that the Jews gained absolute control of the exporting business of the city. In 1905 Odessa was the scene of a violent revolution. The Russian navy mutinied and trained the big guns of the warship in the harbor on the city. The disorders were quelled by the czar's military forces, but not before there was bloodshed and suffering which centered the world's attention on the city. UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD Scene on One of the Odessa Quays. Policemen of the Sea. "Two of our most famous gunboats won their laurels in the East. The old side-wheeler Monacacy, which has handed down her Indian name to her Yang-tse successor, was for years one of the most familiar sights in Chinese waters. She burned wood and was unwieldy as a ferry boat, but did yeoman service even as late as the Boxer troubles in 1800. "The Jetrel," one of Admiral Dewey's famous squadron at the Battle of Manila Bay, is now used as a station-ship in Cuban waters. The Odessa before the war was proud of its beautiful parks and boulevards. The refuge of many French nobles in the time of the French revolution, the streets are evidence of the fact, for they bear names reminiscent of royalty of France. The main thoroughfare, however, is the Street of the Transfiguration, which begins at the magnificent cathedral and ends at the gate of the consecrated ground of the Orthodox Greek cemetery. The popularier is largely Tartar, on which has been grafted Slav, Teuton, Norse, Finnish and Lettish stock, but at the beginning of the war it was said to be still Tartar in the main. Catacombs extending under the rich city and its beautiful suburbs through various periods of Odessa's career have housed the miserably poor, and at times the underground inhabitants have numbered as many as 35,000. Nine New Club Sandwiches. Make them of three good-sized slices of toasted bread, one or more being spread thickly with cottage cheese. Lettuce or watercress and salad dressing are also used. The rest of the filling may be varied to suit the taste or the larder. The saldwich is cut diagonally across, and served on an individual plate with the halves arranged in diamond shape. It is desirable to toast the bread on one side only and to cut it immediately after toasting, as otherwise the pressure of cutting crushes out the cheese and spoils the appearance of the sandwich. The cut slices may be placed together again while the sandwich is being filled, and the filling may be sliced through with a sharp knife. Valuable Tropical Wood. Balsa wood is exceedingly light, and promises to have an extended field of usefulness in connection with cold storage structures when heat insulation is important. It is a tropical wood, growing principally in the states of South and Central America. [Image of a large warehouse with many sacks of goods being loaded onto carts.

WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS "Major Billy" an Authority on Draft Regulations WASHINGTON.—The thousands and thousands of drafted men in the National army realize but little how important a part a little woman played in the great gamble which sent them into the military forces. When running straight. She is just a little girl and she lisps, but she has been a real major in handling one of the most difficult tasks in this war. When the plan of draft was first announced there were a few rules and regulations laid down. "Major Billy" learned the rules and regulations. New rules and new regulations were added every day as new situations and new cases came up, and "Major Billy" remembered every one of them. The rules and regulations grew too fast for the big officers to remember them all and so they began calling on "Major Billy" for information and she had it. The time has now come when she is generally recognized as the best-informed person in Washington on the draft system. There isn't anything about it that she doesn't know. Secretary of War Baker can't commission women in the army, but if he could it is a safe bet that General Crowder would ask for a commission for "Major Billy." Her associates have given her the recognition of her ability, however, because they have dubbed her "major." Leutenants, captains, majors, colonels and even a brigadier general all salute "Major Billy" as one of them. "Major Billy" always signs her name "W. Wellborn." It is strongly rumored, though, that her parents christened her Wilhelmina Wellborn, but the officers in the judge advocate general's office just call her "Major Billy." Fighting Spirit Shown in Veteran, "Only 68" Fighting Spirit Shown in Veteran, "Only 68" HE WAS old and weather beaten—just the sort one would imagine stayed at home and took only a passive interest in outside affairs. But his eyes were bright and there was a stiffening of his shoulders as he walked see you. What has brought you so far away from home? "Well, suh," the old fellow said. "I don't get to see many papers, but I got hold of one other day and it said you were a jinrul and was going to fight anything that needed fighting, an' that you were getting up a passel of cavalry to go with you. Now listen, Jake; 'scuse me, jinrul, I want to go. I am only sixty-eight years old, but I can ride a hoss with the best of them, and can shoot a rifle against any German I ever saw. I have fixed things at home so everything is in good shape. When will we start?" Then the general began to explain. The regulations said this and that. No one over forty-five years old would be accepted. But the explanations didn't satisfy. "I am just bleeded to go with you, Jake," was the reply to every one. "And don't you remember," said the old man, who had begun to plead in earnest, "the time you stayed at my house—when you were running for the senate. You are jest like you were then—one of us folks. Why, you set at my table and talked to the ole woman and the chilluns, and you sholy ain't going to not let me go after that, are you?" Again the general explained the impossibilities—that he himself would like to have a regiment of just such men, but the government forbade. And pretty soon the old fellow and the general went out arm in arm, one pleading and the other defending. Many Lonesome Girls Working for Uncle Sam Many Lonesome Girls Working for Uncle Sam "The City of Lonesome Girls." That is Washington. It is safe to say that more girls cry themselves to sleep in Washington each night than in any other city in the whole world. Approximately 50,000 girls have come Sam can't spare her, though, because he needs every bit of help that he can get to win this war. Each day sees a new flood of girls coming to Washington "to work for the government." Each night finds the new girls looking for a home, and a terrible task it is. With housing conditions, overworked already and rooms a scarcity, the lone girl has a pretty stiff proposition before her. The Y. W. C. A. and other organizations have tried to help her, but they can't bring in the comforts that mother provides. All of the brave hearts in this war are not on the battlefields of France. There are thousands of brave hearts in the lonesome girls of the national capital. Probably All Symbols Looked Alike to Him Probably All Symbols Looked Alike to Him HE WAS marching through a park.

The man was marching himself out of the incident when a tiny girl trotted from around a bush, and he handed her the jonquil with the chivalry of an old-time cavalier. Then he unhooked his cane from his arm and held it before him—as an altar boy holds a blessed candle—and marched on. senators and congressmen and war department officials sing the praises of the draft system they always mention Provost Marshal General Enoch Crowder, Lieut. Col. Hugh Johnson, Lieut. Col. Allen Gullion and a few others, but none of them seem to know that "Major Billy" Wellborn is a mighty big factor in the draft machine which is running so smoothly.

HER NEW CAREER By KITTY PARSONS. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) When Nina Benson received word that her boy had been injured playing hockey, she cancelled her first big concert engagement and then hurried to the boarding school where he lay ill. At the station she was met by Doctor Norwood, who had been kindness and consideration itself, and had helped her by his own cheerfulness to fight the battle that went on day and night to save her boy. In the middle of the fourth night, the boy called for his mother, and the nurse was forced to call her. Through the long hours that followed, they sat beside him, and when Miss Cross came back after a short rest, Nina had fallen asleep, her hand in the boy's. "Hush," whispered the doctor. "Don't wake her." "No, indeed!" snapped the nurse. "But I've stood as much of this as I intend to—from my future husband—and I won't have you sitting up all night with other women, either." "A sick room is hardly the place for a jealous quarrel, Gladys," the doctor warned her, "and I shall not ask you to apologize to Mrs. Benson now. But I think you had better consider well before entering upon a marriage with a man you can trust so little." Nina was only thirty-two, but she had had a hard life of work and shifting for herself ever since her husband died, ten years before. She had plenty of pluck and grit, but the strain of the last week had told on her. When she came to, she was holding the doctor's hand, and lying on a couch in her own room. She recovered herself quickly and got up. "I'm sorry, I was so weak. Is Carl better? "Doing famously. We'll soon have him about gain.. If you don't take better care of yourself, we'll have a new patient on our hands, though." "Oh, I'm all right now. And if the boy's really better I'll have to go home this week—I have an engagement to sing—and if all is well, I must keep it this time." "You're not fit to work yet—it's preposterous!" "No, it isn't, doctor. I have to earn my living and I'm quite happy. You've all been very kind to me, too." "Who wouldn't be?" burst from the doctor, then he recollected himself and added professionally; "Drink this milk now, and rest as much as you can for the next day or two, so that you will be more fit for your journey. You'll need all your strength." Nina thanked him and, when he had gone, she thought a good deal about him. Everything continued to go well, and in a few days Nina left the school for New York. Doctor Norton drove with her to the train. About a mile from the station, as they were rounding a corner, a woman, driving at a reckless rate of speed, came towards the on the wrong side of the road. To avoid a collision the doctor swung out to the right and his car turned turtle in a ditch which was hidden by a mass of underbrush. Nina was thrown clear, but the man was caught under the car. Nina rushed to him and tried to pull him out. "You must help me," she called to the woman, who had stopped her own car. "Please hurry—he may die if he is left here!" Together they moved and dragged the doctor to the other car and drove to the hospital. "A bad break," the doctors told her. "We can't tell much yet, but it may be serious. Is there anyone to come to him?" Nina went at once to the 'phone and called Miss Cross and begged her to come at once. Doctor Norwood was very ill and might be left a cripple. The nurse's reply was short to the point. "I am no longer engaged to Doctor Norwood. I've looked after sick people so long that I don't think I'm going to marry a cripple now. Good-by." Nina was dumbbounded and dreaded carrying the bad news to the doctor. But when they sent for her she steeled herself and went up to him. "I'm sorry I made you miss your train," he sighed, looking at her gratefully, "Did you telephone Gladys?" "Yes, but she couldn't leave just now—I'm so sorry." "You needn't be—I understood perfectly. We both made a mistake and the break has been coming for a long time." He closed his eyes with a sharp casp of pain. "Can I do anything?" asked Nina softly, gently stroking the contracted hand. "Yes—a great deal!" "Tell me, please." "Never leave me again. Oh, what am I saying! I forgot that I may be a cripple. Please go before I forget myself again." "I want you to forget—whatever happens—I don't want to leave you again. I knew it as soon as we had the accident. I'm dreadfully lonely and no one else really needs me, and I love you." Fine Morning. "You don't mean to tell me that as long as you have lived in cities it makes you dizzy to go up in an express elevator?"

Human factor in Airplane Accidents HE officers and cadets of the flying fields that are scattered thickly over Texas do not share the belief of Senator Overman and a good many others that Teuton agents in airplane plants are responsible for any of the deaths by accident among them. They say they do not know anything about conditions in airplane factories and therefore do not know whether or not his assertions about the number of Germans employed therein are true, but they are skeptical about the senator's fears and allegations. They think they know a good deal about the causes of the many accidents, both fatal and unimportant, that have occurred during the last six months, says a writer in the New York Times' magazine section. And they declare very positively that not one of these accidents has been due to faulty construction or to enemy tampering with the machinery. They say that in are skeptical about the senator's actions. They think they know a good causes of the many accidents, both important, that have occurred during months, says a writer in the New magazine section. And they declare that not one of these accidents hasulty construction or to enemy tamhe machinery. They say that in every case, thus far, the cause for the accident was to be found in the man himself and not in the machine he was driving. Among the flyers the conviction is strong that even if the machinery of an airplane were to be weakened by the method indicated by Senator Overman it would probably be discovered in the course of the rigorous examination and tests to which it is subjected be- from the factory. Still, they admit he so damaged might possibly elip but discovery. But they do not be to the present time, any such line has been sent to an American fore it is sent from the factory. Still, they admit that a machine so damaged might possibly slip through without discovery. But they do not believe that, up to the present time, any such damaged machine has been sent to an American flying field. And as for the possibility of a German agent doing any "monkey business" with an airplane after it is received by a flying field, they scoff without mercy at the mere suggestion. They do not deny the possibility of spies being present on any or all the flying fields but they do not believe that the most astute and malignant German agent could "put anything over" in the hangars which house their steeds of the air. In charge of each hangar is an officer whose duty it is to know all about each machine in it, what happens to each one, where it is at any moment, and what its condition is whenever it is in the hangar. Three mechanics are detailed to each machine to keep it in order and groomed for use whenever it may be needed. The flying men are confident that no sabotage could be successfully attempted under these conditions except by means of an organization so large and so unlikely in flying field forces that its possibility is not worth considering. In addition, no man ever takes a plane up from a flying field without himself first carefully inspecting its machinery. The aviators are so confident that the fault does not lie in the planes that when they are discussing the cause of accidents they do not even mention the planes or their machinery, unless they are questioned by an outsider. They confine their discussions to the human factor involved and speculate upon why his nerves or his muscle, his heart or his brain, failed him at some crucial moment. The percentage of losses among student aviators is much larger at Canadian than at the American training schools, while the number of fatal accidents at the Canadian field at Fort Worth, Tex., is appalling. That field has suffered more casualties than all the other fields together in Texas. The aviators of the American fields are all of the opinion that the fatalities there are mainly due to haste and carelessness in training. At the American fields a man must have had from four to nine hours of training in the air with an instructor, the time depending on his quickness in learning control, before he is allowed to take up a machine by himself. A "tail spin," one of the causes of accidents most commonly cited, is an acrobatic stunt which an aviator must know how to execute with skill and ease. In it he noses his machine downward with its tail whirling in a circle above him, while its nose whirls in a similar but smaller circle beneath him, and he, in the pilot's seat, is the pivot of the two gyrations. To the landsman it sounds a heady sort of a combination, and it is likely to prove so to the airman unless he has the knowledge and the skill with which to manage it. To throw his machine in and out of tail spins is a part of his daily practice after he begins the acrobatic training, and in a very little while he acquires sufficient knowledge of what to do and instinctive control of the machinery to execute tail spins as easily and safely as he could twirl on his toes or turn on his heel if his feet were on solid ground. But he may get into a tail spin accidentally in his early flights alone and, although he may know what is the right thing to do to take the machine out of it, he may lose his head at the crucial moment and fail to do what he ought. Every man, woman, or child, who has learned to ride a bicycle or drive an automobile is familiar with that unconscious influence of the mind over the muscles which causes one who has not yet acquired complete command of a machine to drive straight at the object which he wishes and is doing his best to avoid. The aviator has a brief time in his training when he suffers from that same difficulty and at important moments is prone to give the wrong pressure upon his control stick or his elevator. If he does this when his machine goes into a tail spin and his mind does not work quickly enough to recognize his difficulty and do the right thing, a fatal accident is very likely to result. Dizziness, sudden panic, failure to think quickly, unconscious movement, ignorance of what to do, may cause a fatal accident when a learner T TWO PLANES THAT COLLIDED IN MIDAIR AND CRASHED TO THE GROUND gets into a tail spin accidentally. Or he may intentionally take his machine into one, before he has had the usual instruction, out of the spirit of adventure, or even the kiddish desire to convince himself of his daring or exhibit it to his fellow students. But, whatever the cause, it is the opinion of flying field aviators that getting into a tail spin, purposely or accidentally, without being able to manage it properly, is the cause of a large proportion of fatal accidents at the flying fields. The same perverse, unconscious influence of the mind over the muscles which forces the bicycle learner straight toward the object he is trying to avoid is responsible for many of the fatal accidents due to collisions. Even the most expert of flyers may be unable to avert a serious accident when he sees approaching him a plane driven by a cadet who is doing his level best to keep his machine out of the other's way. How serious and ever present is this danger in flying fields is proved by Capt. Vernon Castle's death. In flying there are certain "blind angles" in which collisions are possible through no fault of the driver of either plane. The sections of space covered by the wings of his ship are invisible to the pilot, and if such a section coincides with the space concealed from the eyes of another pilot approaching from below or at one side, a sudden crash is likely to be the first that either knows of the other plane. This "blind angle" may be the cause of an occasional serious accident, but aviators do not think that such collisions are of frequent occurrence. Engine trouble causes many unimportant accidents, but, aviators say, should never offer any serious difficulty to a man who has learned how to manage his plane, if he is in a region where it is possible for him to come down safely. And for engine trouble there are as many possible and legitimate causes as there are reasons for an automobile to balk. In a few cases a broken propeller has caused a pilot to make a forced landing, with injury to his plane, but, up to the present time, never with serious result to himself. The accompanying picture shows what happened to a pilot when his propeller weakened, cracked and broke over the grounds of a high school in the environs of Houston, Tex. He brought his ship down with some damage to it, but none to himself, and greatly to the delight of the inhabitants of the region. Various causes may result in the breaking of the propeller. It may have been injured in some previous nose dive to the ground; or a bird may have got entangled in its blades. Cadets are forbidden to chase birds because of the possibility of such a result and the sure smashing of the propeller. Nevertheless, they do it sometimes, when the instinct of the chase is strong in their blood. And it would be quite possible for a bird to fly against his propeller, to the undoing of both bird and propeller, and the pilot to be ignorant of what had happened. The men who by hard work and steady practice have earned the right to the title of "birdmen" believe that with both students and skilled aviators one cause of fatal accidents is the failure of the nervous system to respond immediately and accurately to the command of the brain. Anything which causes nervous fatigue may bring about that physical state—dissipation, nerve strain, physical weariness, lack of sleep. The flyer must be so alert, his grasp upon every situation which may confront him so instant, and his action to meet and control it so prompt that the fraction of a second in the movement of his hand upon the controls of his machine may mean the difference between life and death. And anything which slows by ever so little the action of the brain in an emergency, or the flashing of its commands along the nerves, or the instant obedience of the motor nerves may send him crashing to the earth. The cadets before they have become what they call "instinctive flyers" are especially liable to this danger, although even those who are skilled in the air are not free from its menace. Birdmen who are skilled in one, or another, or several forms of athletics say that in nothing else have they felt so much the necessity of this instant and complete response of the nerves to the demand upon them. The cadets quickly discover, so they say, that lack of plenty of sleep soon results in a physical THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1918. or in cidents PHOTOS BY WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION. MOSE DIVE THAT ENDED WHEN MOTOR BURIED ITSELF IN THE EARTH RESULT OF ATTEMPT TO VOLPLANE WHEN TOO HEAR THE GROUND condition which, although they would not even notice it in any other occupation, they regard as dangerous in flying. In one of the Texas fields recently a lieutenant with a reputation as a skilled and careful aviator fell from a considerable height and was killed instantly. His nearest friends were unanimous in the belief that his fall was due to the fact that he had not been getting enough sleep. For a week he had been giving instruction in night flying, working all night, and had not been able to sleep well during the day. Careful training and plenty of practice soon bring the student aviator to the point where flying becomes as instinctive with him, in the movement of hand and foot upon the controls of his machine, as the action of his body in walking. For him flying becomes as safe as running an automobile is for the skilled motorist, so far as the machine and his control of it and the medium through which or upon which he moves are concerned. But the unreliability of the human mechanism must still be reckoned with, and that unreliability seems to be greater in the air than it is upon the ground. It sometimes results in strange and unexpected happenings. Once in a while a man in the best of health and the pink of condition, who has passed with high success every one of the severe tests to which aviation candidates are subjected, who has never fainted before in his life, will faint while he is in the air. One recent fatal accident at a Texas field is supposed to have been due to that cause. One pilot fainted and the plane fell to the earth, but neither he nor the student with him hurt except for one of the severe tests to which aviation candidates are subjected, who has never fainted before in his life, will faint while he is in the air. One recent fatal accident at a Texas field is supposed to have been due to that cause. Neither had another young fellow, to whom everything suddenly became a blank as his manshine was sailing away through the blue. It was still sailing along easily when presently he came to himself again with the feeling that something had happened to him. Looking down, he could see that he had covered a considerable distance since the moment when he had lost consciousness. He does not know why he fainted any more than he knows why he did not spin downward to probable death during those blank moments. A British surgeon attached to the relay naval air service, Dr. H. Graeme Anderson, who has had extensive experience at British flying stations, has recently written some interesting conclusions concerning these somewhat obscure causes of airplane accidents at training schools. In the opinion of Doctor Anderson, based upon study and comparison of the statements made to him in such cases by a hundred student flyers there is a brain fatigue not due to previous mental or physical strain that may yet cause serious accidents. He thinks it is induced by the impact of overwhelming sensations upon the mind of the pupil after he is in the air. The flying pupil who is overcome by this form of fatigue, says Doctor Anderson, "reaches the stage where he has the power neither to reason, decide, nor act a state of mental inertia supervenes. This is due to repeated stimuli received by his brain in rapid succession in his flight. He feels alone; a success of errors occurs in the air; he feels he cannot manage to control the airplane; fear does not seize him, but the enormity of the whole thing appalls him; he feels helpless, and a state of brain fatigue occurs in which he, in a stupor awaits events and takes little part in the airplane's control." This form of brain fatigue would seem to be largely a result of personal temperament. Doctor Anderson thinks it responsible for "a fair proportion of accidents" among students in the early stages of flying, and he adds that student aviators who have suffered from it, if they escape injury, are likely to give up flying. There are many, many of the unimportant accidents, of which nobody takes heed. But of fatal accidents, notwithstanding the concern over them manifest in some parts of the country, the percentage is no greater than should be expected is less than in the flying schools of some other countries, and is not higher than it is in almost any extra-hazardous occupation. And when it is remembered that this latter comparison brings together figures representing men in the training stage with those of skilled workers, it is evident both that flying is a safer game than it has the credit of being, and that it will be a good plan for the country to guard against hysteria over the fatalities that do occur. running an automobile is for the skilled motorist, so far as the machine and his control of it and the medium through which or upon which he moves are concerned.

Judas' Bargain With the Chief Priests (vv. 10, 11). This black crime was committed immediately following the beautiful act of devotion by Mary. The motive acturing Judas was avarice. This awful depth of infamy was not reached at a bound. Because he did not master this besetting sin at the beginning, he was conquered by it. II. The Last Passover (vv. 12-25). 1. The preparation (vv. 12-16). In reply to the disciples' inquiry as to where they should prepare the Passover for him, Jesus told them to go into the city where they would meet a man bearing a pitcher of water, whom they should follow. In the house to which they were thus led would be found a guest chamber—a large upper room—where they could make ready the Passover. This is an example of Christ's superhuman knowledge. He not only knew that the disciples would meet this man, but he Lnew that Judas had bargained for his betrayal. 2. The betrayal announced (vv. 17-21). The betrayal was to be by one of the disciples who was eating with Jesus. This betrayal had been predicted, though such prediction did not interfere with the free act of Judas in the betrayal. It was because of this act of treachery being freely committed by Judas that Jesus pronounced upon him the awful doom—"Good were it for that man if he had never been born." 3. The bread and the cup instituted (vv. 22-25). III. The Disciples' Cowardice Foretold (vv. 26-31). In spite of their cowardly turning from the Saviour, he assures them that after his resurrection he would go before them into Gallilee. Peter protested against such act of disloyalty by the disciples, and assured the Lord that though all the rest should forsake him, yet he would not. The Lord showed him how little he knew even of his own best resolve, telling him that on that very night he would deny him thrice. All the disciples said the same thing. IV. The Agony in Gethsemane (vv. 33-42). The clear vision of the coming anguish of the Cross, accentuated by the utter failure of the disciples to understand or believe, brought upon him an indescribable anguish of soil, so he took Peter, James, and John and went apart to pray. The cup of agony was not mere death, but the sacrificial death for sin, under the weight of the world's guilt. 1. The first prayer (vv. 35-38). Notwithstanding the darkness of the hour, he prayed in faith accompanied with a willingness to obey. When he came and found the three sleeping instead of praying, he commanded them to watch and pray so as to be fortified against temptation. V. The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus (vv. 43-52). 1. The sign to the mob (vv. 43-47). With the basest of hypocrisy Judas pointed out Jesus to the mob by a kiss, the sign of love. 2. Jesus forsaken by all (vv. 48-52). At the sight of the Master's betrayal and arrest, one of his disciples attempted to defend him by resorting to the sword; but seeing that Jesus made no attempt at resistance, they all fled. Their courage failed them in the hour of trial. How little man knows of his weaknesses until the crucial hour. VI. Jesus Before the Sanhedrin (vv. 53-65). 1. Contradictory testimony of false witnesses (vv. 53-59). High Priest's Questions: (vv. 60-65). (1) "What is it that these witness against thee?" To this Jesus was silent, showing that no evidence had yet been given worthy of answer. (2) "Art thou the Christ?" To this he definitely replied: "I am" and quotes a Scripture passage which they recognize as referring to the Messiah. This claim they answer with buffeting and the most shameful treatment. VII. Peter Denies Lord (vv. 60-72). Though Peter loves Jesus, yet in the hour of supreme trial he falls. Grievous as his sin is, it is not like that of Judas. His failure was due to 1. Boasting self-defense (vv. 29-31). 2. Lack of watchfulness (v. 37). 3. Neglect of prayer (v. 38). 4. Service in the energy of the flesh (v. 47). 5. Following Jesus afar off (v. 64). 6. Seek comfort among the Lord's enemies (v. 67; compart Luke 22:55). 7. Open denial (vv. 68-72). His backsliding really began when he shrank from the Cross. WHAT CAN WE DO? DRESS-UP FROCKS FOR LITTLE MAIDS DRESS-UP FROCKS FOR LITTLE MAIDS ```markdown ``` We can face another year of work with immense confidence, in the light of the recent report of the American Red Cross on its expenditures in Europe and America. This report is a revelation and an inspiration. It is more than a matter of duty now to be a busy member of this wonderful, wholly modern and efficient organization. If this report stirs no pride of country in the heart of the woman who reads it she may be sure her soul is about dead—or held a famishing prisoner by her self-centered mind. To be in the midst of a world of good deeds and to take no part in them—when the way is always open—can you imagine it? What happens to your dollar when you send it forth on its errand of mercy through the medium of the American Red Cross was explained in a statement issued as a prelude to the opening of the campaign for another $100,000,000 war fund. The magnitude of the work which the Red Cross is doing on all battle fronts and for American prisoners in Germany is disclosed by the figures: Relief work in France.....$30,936,103 Relief work in Belgium.....2,086,131 Relief work in Italy.....4,588,826 Relief work in Russia.....1,206,906 Relief work in Roumania.....2,676,368 Relief work in Serbia.....894,548 Relief work in Great Britai ain.....3,260,230 Other foreign relief work. 4,476,300 For U.

Almost every woman can furnish one or both DRESS-UP FROCKS In displays of midsummer frocks for little malds, three fine and trustworthy materials appear to fill all the requirements of designers. They are volle, dotted swiss and organdie, and they are dainty enough and at the same time strong enough for the smallest girls' dress-up frocks. Volle has come to be a great favorite on account of its wonderful wearing qualities, which make it worth while to put careful needlework on it. Dotted swiss is liked because it is crisp and fresh looking, and organdie is chosen for the finest of all dresses made for the youngest wearers of sheer frocks. In the picture the little dress at the left is of white volle with a smocked yoke in which heavy blue embroidery silk is used for the ornamental stitches. It has a narrow panel set on at the front, making place for two rows of tiny round crocheted buttons and a narrow sash of the volle finished with two of the same buttons suspended on the silk thread from the ends. The designer did not overlook opportunities for these little dangling buttons at the point of the collar, or forget to introduce a band of smocking and fancy stitching on the cuffs. Altogether this little frock is elaborated with considerable needlework. The dress at the right is much simpler. It is made of dotted swiss, very plain and dainty as to design, and very crisp and sprightly in ef- --- of these in some measure. Recently the Red Cross ladies in a Kentucky town held a corn-shucking bee for a grain merchant who found it difficult to get laborers. They worked to the merry tune of $75, which cash they turned in to the Red Cross, thereby making themselves justly famous as an enterprising chapter. They are proud and we are all proud of them. Fashion Points of Interest. There are four things in fashion that are often discussed today: The severe uncollared neck line, the short sleeve, the cape back and the lack of chiffon blouses. A dressmaker drew a patron's attention to the absence of the latter garment because of the prevalence of one-piece frocks, and told how the shirt waist people were depending upon wash blouses to continue their business. Sailor collars are not smart. High collars that roll upward at the back and down in the front are not attached to coats. The collars that go on bodices of one-piece frocks end before they reach the collarbone, and the rest of the decolletage is untouched by any line of white. New Sleeves. The only sleeve eccentricities of the present time are very mild ones. Evening gowns, from having no sleeves at all, have taken to having long angel clouds of tulle that float downward from the shoulder and, it would seem, help to fight the coal shortage by keeping their wearers warm by a mere shadow of fabric. Anyway, it is eminently becoming and very much of a relief after too many bare arms. The single film of chiffon or tulle confers a softening effect on arms that are too thin as well as those that are too fat—both of which have fared but ill during the reign of the sleeveless evening frock. FOR LITTLE MAIDS fect. A band of the swiss set between the gathered yoke and skirt is outlined with fancy stitching in colored embroidery silk and clusters of three little forget-me-nots are embroidered on it—in three groups at the front and two at the back. These are the kind of dresses that the little girl needs now that summertime makes life one perpetual round of joys, what with excursions to the park and to the movies and everything. Julie Bottomley Gingham Waistcoats. The gingham waistcoat made a tentative start for popularity, but was soon running down the track at full speed. All the younger set are wearing these waistcoats, the shops show them at different prices, and they make an alluring grouping of color in the windows. They have started the fashion for a great variety of skeleton waistcoats that are worn instead of collars. Many are high-necked, others have long, sloping, double-breasted revers. They are less trouble to adjust in a blouse or coat than a collar, for they have their own fastening and are kept down at the waist by an elastic band. Pique has come back into fashion for these waistcoats, but checked gingham and plaid muslin lead. --- B. and, New Zealand, the only dramatic soprano soloist of the public.

Friday evening, May 24th, an audience representing the leading citizens of the city, was present at Arion hall, to hear Madam Frances E. Mottin of St. Louis, Mo., the leading elocutionist of the race, in recital. From the very first number to the last, the audience was thrilled, and although they knew of her reputation as being a rare artist, she surpassed their most sanguine hopes, and they marveled at her perfect poise, perfect stage manners, and the excellency of her reading. The library scene from the "Lion and the Mouse" received, perhaps, the most applause. It was an intricate piece of work, and Madam Motin did it as only an artist can. In this selection she impersonated three totally different characters, and the transitions were well nigh perfect. One could hardly realize that there not present the three characters, so well did she pass from one to the other.-Portland (Ore.) Advocate. BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS NUMBER SIXTEEN Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Dr. Washington's last Sunday evening's talk to the students was on "Team Work." No one could appreciate the importance of "Team Work" more than Dr. Washington. It was the "team work" of the trustee, the faculty, the students and friends of Tuskegee institute which made it the National Institution that it is. "Team work among the officials and the loyal, progressive business men and of the country, made the National Negro Business League one of the most imptant organizations in the country, and "team work" in America is helping the Allies to win the war. What the Negro is learning from the war is "team work" in a new and broader way. Our people are working together as never before in Thrift Stamps, Food Conservation, Liberty Bonds and Red Cross Campaigns, and the results are in some instances as tonishing.
