Brown-H MME. JEAN HO Executive Board National Baptists Association Meets. Alexandria, La.—President E. P. Jones of the National Baptist Convention called the Executive Committee of his Convention to order here June 12 pursuant to a notice that had already been sent out. Quite a delegation was in attendance. It is understood that matters of vital importance touching the denomination were taken up for consideration. They were in session throughout the week. Among the matters to come before the body was a recommendation touching the report of the committee that was appointed and met a like body from two other Baptist organizations at Memphis, Tenn., sometime ago. Dr. C. P. Madison, secretary of the convention from Norfolk, Va., who is acting as secretary of the Board, said there were no important announcements to be given out at this writing. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The Nineteenth Annual Session of the National Negro Business League will be held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, August 21, 22, 23, 1918, and the program for this year's session will include addresses by a number of the foremost leaders of both races, who will discuss many of the vital and absorbing topics which now confront the race and the nation. The affiliated organizations of the League which includes the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' Association, the National Negro Insurance Association, and the National Negro Bar Association, will hold their annual sessions at the same time as in former years, and there is every indication that the attendance this year will far surpass that of any previous year in the history of the League.

Sackett, federal food administrator for Kentucky, has appointed Phil H. Brown, Colored editor of Hopkinsville, Ky., to be director of Negro activities for Mr. Sackett's department. Brown will have immediate control under Mr. Sackett of the work of food conservation and salvage among the Colored people of the state. Mr. Sackett made the selection with especial care on account of the importance of the instruction of Colored people in the observance of the food laws. Colored people do the greater part of the cooking in the state and the food administrator will make a special effort to organize and interest them in the patriotic work of the department. The Colored director will have an office in Louisville, from which an intensive campaign of education will be inaugurated that will reach the forty counties in the state where there is considerable Negro population. Plans are under way to have a monster patriotic meeting of the Colored people of the state here in Louisville within the next fortnight, at which leading speakers will appear, including one on two of national reputation. Hundreds Flee From E. St. Louis. East St. Louis, Ill.—Fearing a recurrence of the race riots here of last year, several hundred Colored citizens fled to St. Louis and other cities, following the shooting of Anthony Kinne, a policeman. Payne Payne, Colored, accused of the shooting, attempted to escape. He was captured by a mob and severely beaten. He was then turned over to the police. Kinne attempted to arrest Payne for passing counterfeit money. Howard University Elects President Washington, D. C.—Rev. J. Stanley Durkee, Ph.D., for many years pastor of the famous South Congregational church, of Campello, Brockton, Mass., one of New England's most influential religious organizations, was unanimously chosen as president of Howard University.

WHEATLEY - PROVIDENT HOSPITAL The Final Payments on Subscriptions Are Being Paid Rapidly. Is Your Name on the Paid in Full List? Since the last and final notice was sent out to the subscribers to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Campaign Fund, the payments have come in very satisfactory, although a number of these pledges have not as yet been paid. Among those subscriptions which have been paid in full was the $50.00 Liberty Bond given by the Phyllis Wheatley Art Club, of which Mrs. Francis Howard is the president. A remarkable incident occurred in this instance, in that Mrs. Howard while on her way to deliver this Bond lost it and only recovered the same by paying a liberal reward to the finder after advertising for it in the Kansas City Star. The finder was a white man. Much credit, however, is due Mrs. Howard, the president, and Mrs. Rebecca Estes, secretary, and the loyal members of this excellent club for their splendid donation. Another laudable fact is that a number of persons who only made verbal pledges have paid the same unhesitatingly. The following is a list of the persons who have paid in full since the last week's issue of the Sun: $50.00: Phillis Wheatley Art Club. $25.00: E. R. Sweeney. C. C. Blackwell, F. J. Weaver. $5.00: W. L. Martin, Fred W. Anthony, R. C. Holland, R. W. and M. E. Elmore, Lela L. Elmore. $4.00: Dennis Seals. $3.00: Miss Anna L. Collier. $2.50: H. R. Richardson. $2.00: Mrs. E. Mott. Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor of the First Baptist church, Muskogee, has been called to the pastorate of Macedonia Baptist church of this city. He is here conducting a three weeks' revival meeting for the congregation. Prof. Ambrose is directing the singing.—Index, Dallas, Texas. Miss Willa E.

CLARK SMITH, Instructor. THE BLACK REGIMENT General Pershing's high praise of the gallantry of colored soldiers now wearing the United States uniform in France recalls the heroic devotion of colored regiments in the Civil War. One such instance was the assault up on Port Hudson, which gave occasion, for the writing of the poem from which the following stanzas are taken: Dark as the clouds of even, Banked in the western heaven, Waiting the breath that lifts All the dead mass, and drifts Tempest and falling brand Over a ruined land— So still and orderly, Arm to arm( knee to knee, Waiting the great event, Stands the black regiment. "Charge!" trump and drum awoke Onward the bondmen broke, Bayonet and sabre stroke Vainly opposed their rush; Through the wild battle's crush, With but one thought aflush, Driving their lords their chaff, In the guns, mouths they laugh; Or at the slippery brands, Leaping with open hands, Down they tear, man and horse, Down in their awful course; Trampling with bloody heel Over the crashing steel, All their eyes forward bent, Rushed the black regiment. "Freedom!" their battle cry— "Freedom! or leave to die!" Ah; and they meant the word, Not as with us't is heard, Not a mere party shout; They gave their spirits out; Trusted the end to God, And on the gory sod Rolled in triumphant blood, Glad to strike one free blow, Whether for weal or woe; Glad to breathe one free breath, Though on the lips of death; Praying—alas! in vain! That they might fall again, So they could once more see That burst to liberty! This was what "freedom" lent, To the black regiment. Hundreds on hundreds fell; But they are resting well; Scourages and shackles strong. Never shall do them wrong. Oh, to the living few, Soldiers, be just and true! Hail them as comrades tried; Fight with them side by side; Never, in field or tent; Scorn the black regiment! K.C. Mo. BOYS AT O.T.C. Ft. DES MOINES Iowa R.C. Mo.

(Not Delayed by Censor.) We who live in these parts have long felt that there is one big powerful institution whose policy toward us is calculated more or less to humilate where it cannot annihilate or pronouncedly ignore altogether the noble aspirations of this people. But we flatter ourselves on our growing ability to discern Right from Wrong in public statements—the Sincere from the Hypocritical—the Praiseworthy from the Degrading—the Serious from the Humorous, and most certainly the Sublime from the Ridiculous. And so therefore we read the article published in Tuesday's Star captioned, "The Bushes, Better Hide," by one Floyd P. Gibbons, with considerable disgust. And we wonder why many white Americans, affectedly educated, can find inclination or time in this serious period of our National existence to try to be funny and "superior" at the expense of the colored people of this country. The correspondent proceeds to state his "own opinion" through the mouth of a "Negro Lieutenant" (who probably never existed) of the war aims of our race. If within the bounds of the possible there is such a person as this suppositional one, then we say that there are several million Negroes who could express what we are fighting for with finer feeling and far more nobler language than he did. I would like to see the color of the Negro who could reason in language like this: "We are supposed to have had equal rights for fifty years now, but many times we have thought (Ye Gods, we have thought) those rights have been denied us and many times it has been held (by sworn enemies of the Race) that we have never done anything to deserve them." Do you believe any dyed-in-the-wool American Negro would say such a thing in such a way? Mr. Gibbons then proceeds to give the Negro credit for some things which he is compelled by virtue of merit itself. But notwithstanding he finds their morale of a high order he cannot resist the temptation to secure "more effect" by subjecting the race to the obsolete trick of a fictitious dialect. Instead of "Rastus" or "Sambo" it is now "Lucius" who is made to offer up the sacrifice on the altar of the ridiculous. The reporter actually relates that he invited "Lucius" (condescendingly of course to a seat in his motor car with him (ostensibly) "to guide him to headquarters" but in reality to publish the following enlightening interview: "What do you think of these French Black Troops" (speaking to the imaginary Lucius) I asked. The supposed answer: "Never seen them drill, but I knows we got a better Band than they has," he said, while particles of the English walnuts he was munching formed a white fresco about his lips." (narrates the interviewer). We understand then that this article was certainly not designed to center attraction on the intelligence and manliness of colored American troops. There is other junk embraced in the article which anyone can see by reading it. By way of counteraction we mention the following: Note—Those only who have read the article in the Star can appreciate the obvious sarcasm in reference to (uncensored). Notes. That band from the (uncensored) Old 15th New York Colored Regiment has been stated to be the best band in the (uncensored) Whole Army. And they don't (uncensored) always play Ragtime either. Somewhere in France there are soldiers from the Old 9th and 10th Cavalry who are hailed as America's best (uncensored and speaking the correct English is not considered any distinction by them. Over here the whole American Army is cherished by the Negro. The Negro is proud of America even though he has just cause (no doubt about it) to complain of certain untoward conditions and that he does not complain at this hour stamps him as this country's sublimest unit. (uncensored). We almost forgot to state that the article in question was reprinted from the Chicago Tribune. But in view of the fact that there was little in it that would raise the tone of conception of readers of the Associated Press, regarding Negroes is probably the reason the (censored) published it at all. We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions. Why not advertise what you have to rent or sellin thispaper which reaches all the colored people in greater Kansas City?

Thirty years ago the colored people of Brunswick County, Virginia, owned $50,000 worth of property. Today the property owned by them is worth almost a million dollars. The Newport News Holding & Investment Company has been organized at Newport News, Va., and has among its officers and members some of the most progressive colored citizens of that city. Many white teachers have protested and some have refused to aid in the Negro survey that is being conducted by the Negro Welfare Committee of the Council of Social Agencies in Cincinnati, Ohio. A booklet entitled, "A Tribute for the Negro Soldier," by John E. Bruce, a distinguished author, and the American representative of the African Times and Oriental Review, London, England, was made a part of the Congressional Record, Monday, June 3d, 1918. The Negro Loyalty Parade and speaking at the Coliseum in St. Louis, Mo., Thursday, June 13th, is said to have been the greatest demonstration of its kind in the history of this country. It was under the auspices of the Colored Women's Unit Council of National Defense, of which Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley is Chairman. The Meyer Brothers Drug Company has leased two extra buildings on South Fourth street, St. Louis, Mo., and installed a large number of colored girls and women as medicine packers. This is the first time in history that this firm has given employment to colored women, and is very gratifying to the Race, from the fact that Meyer Bros. is the largest wholesale drug firm in the world. White sailors and soldiers have been forbidden to visit the colored residence section of Norfolk, Va., and an armed guard has been thrown around the district. This precaution has been brought about by the numerous complaints from colored citizens that the white soldiers persisted in insulting colored women and girls.

The Pleasant Hour Club was entertained by Mrs. Louisa Brown at the residence of Mrs. William Mason on Cannon street last Wednesday. Miss Ruth Blanks, who for the past few years has been residing at Miles City, has returned home for an indefinite nite. Children's Day at St James A. M. E church was indeed a day for the children. A sermon by Rev. George F. Martin for their benefit in the morning, and their program in the afternoon and evening kept them very busy throughout the day. The program was a real gem and was rendered to an appreciative audience. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Houston were in from the bungalow last week. Mr. Houston attended the meeting of the Masonic lodge. George M. Lee, Sr., was in from the Springs to be present at the meeting of Unity Lodge, A. F. and A. M. Hon. George W. K. Love participated in our Flag Day parade. Reverends C. N. Douglass and George F. Martin left for Missoula on the 10th, returning on the 13th, driving overland in Rev. Douglas' four-in-hand. They were to have met at Garrison, Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Mattie McGinnis, and the four were expecting to enjoy a day of fishing along the banks of the Little Blackfoot river. A washout on the railroad prevented the ladies from leaving Helena, and thus the great contemplated drive on the unsuspecting finny tribe was canceled. Mrs. L. E. Mathis returned home last week from a four months' visit with her husband, a sergeant at Camp Funston. Mrs. Mathis was fortunate in meeting, en route to Billings, Mrs. Virgie Walden and George W. K. Love, grand officers of the O. E. S., and assisted them in organizing a chapter of the O. E. S. at Billings. Mrs. J. R. Parris and her niece, Miss H. Herbert, of New York, are making their home in Helena for the present. Mrs. Virgile L. Walden of Columbia, Mo. Royal Grand Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star of Missouri and Jurisdiction, arrived in Helena on the 12th, accompanied by Hon. George W. K. Love, Royal Grand Patron. They visited Alliance, Neb.; Casper, Wyo., and Billings, Mont., at which three places very creditable chapters were organized. Mrs. Walden said she was pleased with the general condition of the work of the Order coming under her observation during her itinerancy in the West, and assumed a particularly gratifying expression as she related her experience with the membership in this section of the country. The Grand Chapter of Missouri is composed of 69 subordinate chapters, with a membership of approximately 2,000. There is to be no meeting of the Grand Chapter this year, and therefore Mrs. Walden will serve her third term as Worthy Grand Matron. Much attention was bestowed upon the visitors, and with breakfasts, luncheons, dinners and reception, every minute of their four days' stay in the city was pre-empted. During their visit here the Grand Matron was the guest of Mrs. Louise Walker, Worthy Matron of Bathsheba Chapter, and was domiciled with Mrs. Louise Harrison, Associate Matron. The Worthy Grand Patron was the guest of Judge Hart, Worshipful Master of Unity Lodge, A. F. and A. M. Mrs. Walden expressed regret at being compelled to return to Missouri a "tenderfoot," not having had time to ascend Mount Helena, which towers in majestic grandeur 5,000 feet above sea level.

Some sorts of war saving require special watchfulness on the mother's part to guard the children from possible harm. For instance, food substitutions must be made with great care in order that the children's food may still contain all the elements necessary to growth. But with clothes in summer it is different. In hot summer weather it is a distinct advantage to the child's health to be dressed lightly. And the saving of textiles and leather is an important consideration now. Wool must be saved, because it is needed for the blankets, underwear and uniforms of our fighting forces. Cotton is needed for hospitals and may other uses. The need to supply leather for the army's use is of course imperative. In selecting fabrics for clothing it is not entirely a matter of finding a cheaper and less needed substitute. Old goods must be brought again into service, turned, cleaned, washed, dyed and made over. When an old garment is returned to usefulness actual saving of wool or cotton is effected, and in addition manufacturers will be able to concentrate their output on goods for army uses because of the decreased demand for unnecessary materials. The purchasing of novelties, fancy fabrics and elaborate garments tends to withdraw from war uses not only needed materials but labor, especially skilled laborers needed for other branches of production. Now in summer large savings of woolen materials of every sort including fancy and light colored wools used for knitting can be accomplished. Children can be clothed practically entirely in cotton for several months to come. Wise mothers will make children's summer clothing as simply as possible, thus reducing the work dequred for washing and ironing, and increasing the child's comfort. Children like to wear barefoot sandals in summer. Their use saves leather, and stockings. Half soling and mending makes shoes go much farther. Further saving of leather can be effected by using canvas shoes in summer. Have your children take Piano lessons while they are young.

Bell Phone East 4221J --- Public Utility Interest Rates Are Advancing "It Is Essential Public Utilities Be Maintained" We are now building a power plant which will meet the needs of Greater Kansas City and produce electricity more economically, thereby reducing the cost of current to our customers. This requires new money. The rate of return—that is, the interest rate—was fixed May 1, 1917, on our investment at that time by the Missouri Public Service Commission, which also fixed value of our plants. The money which we are investing in our new plant, however, is costing us more than the $6½ per cent fixed as reasonable for our present investment. All industrial interest rates are advancing, and while the Public Service Commission allowed a $6½ per cent rate more than a year ago, the price of our commodity as fixed by the Commission did not permit us to earn it. In fact we fell $300,000 short. As every light and power consumer in Kansas City knows, immediately after the present reduced rates went into effect May 1, 1917, the cost of fuel and labor increased rapidly. Had conditions remained normal, as was contemplated when the rates were put into effect by the Commission, we would have about broken even and we would not now be asking our consumers additional revenue. The advance in fuel, labor and material are not of our making— The rate of return and valuation are not of our making— The rates charged customers are not of our making But we are compelled to PAY the advancing prices, LOSE the interest return, and SELL at a price not fixed by ourselves.

The village of Robbins inaugurated its newly elected officers a few days ago at Jennie Smith's Hall. The entire town was out to witness the affair. It is about seven miles from the city limits of Chicago and has the distinction of being the only town in Cook county to be entirely officered by colored men. The heads of villages in Illinois are called "presidents," and the president performs the same duties as mayors of cities. The villages have THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 22. 1918 a governing body called "trustees" and the trustees perform the same duties as aldermen. At the first election of village officers, January 1, 351918, Thomas J. Keller was chosen president and Wm. Harvey, clerk. The trustees elected were: Richard Flowers, LeRoy P. Thomas, Robert H. Bryant, Jerry Taylor, George Wineborne and Edward Brown. George J. Moore was elected police magistrate. At the general election, April 16, 1918, all officers were re-elected except Wm. Harvey, who declined the nomination, and Charles C. Banks was elected in his stead. Walter Childs has been appointed treasurer, Edward Center, fire chief; James Coleman, chief of police.

"A WORD TO THE WIRE" WANTED TO THANK DONORS After This, It Would Be Folly to Say That Sailors Do Not Appreciate Gifts. Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson writes in the Woman's Home companion: "As for knitted garments, I wish you could have been with me one day at a certain naval base near New York, when the crew of a ship which had been accidentally sunk in our very harbor entered the chaplain's office to receive their fresh supply of knitted garments. They had all lost their clothing, barely escaping with their lives. "The boys lined up like the well-trained sailors they were, tucked their supplies under their arms and marched out again, headed by an officer. But the moment they broke ranks outside headquarters each boy became absorbed in his own particular package of knitted garments and comfort bag, turning the sweaters, the helmets, the wristlets and even the bags inside out, poking inquiring fingers into every corner. "What are they looking for—sizes?" I asked the young officer at my elbow. "Dear, no,' said my guide with a laugh. 'Letters, notes, the addresses of the lady who knitted the garment or filled the bag. They want to write back and say thank you.' "After watching their frenzied search for notes and addresses, nothing can ever make me believe that the boys do not appreciate such gifts." BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR That Country's Water Power Is So Little Used Is a Reflection on Citizens' Intelligence. In the early days of this country the grist mill was built where there was water power, and in time other industries also located there for the same reason, H. H. Windsor writes in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Many of our largest manufacturing cities have grown up around these grist mills. But many of the best water powers were so inaccessible, and the surrounding country so unfit for agriculture, that no mills and towns have ever taken advantage of the cheapest mill power known. Today, thanks to the electric motor, transmission lines, and high voltage, the factory may locate convenient to transportation and labor, and have the water power brought to it. Every 24 hours there goes to waste unused water power equivalent to the coal energy of 1,000,000 tons, or 365,000,000 tons each year. At a low average of present prices this waste represents $2,000,000,000 yearly. Switzerland gets her coal from Germany. This year the supply is only two-thirds of requirements, yet Switzerland will pay Germany over $4,000,000,000 for coal. At the present moment there are undeveloped water powers in Switzerland amounting to 3,500,000 horse power which, with 526,000 horse power already harnessed, would make Switzerland almost independent of outside coal supply. Our own unused water powers remain undeveloped because the restrictions our government demands do not appeal to private enterprise, which naturally is reluctant to invest vast sums under a franchise which may be terminated at any time. With the financial burdens with which our government will emerge from this war, it will doubleless be years before congress would feel justified in appropriating the money necessary to make this development. It would seem wise, therefore, rather than wait an indefinite number of years, that a franchise of say 50 years should be granted, with privilege of taking over the properties at the end of that time on some basis of valuation fair to government and owners. On such a basis development would begin at once. In the meantime the 1,000,000 tons' value of coal is rushing to the sea every 24 hours, an absolute waste, without the slightest benefit to anyone. Neatness Appealed to Him. Aunty and her two little daughters, Maggie and Bessie, were spending a few days at the home of little Fred. Maggie had beautiful short curly hair, that would not stay in place, and usually looked as though it had never been combed, while Bessie's was straight as a string, combed back smooth, and braided. There was a circus in town and mamma asked Fred which one of his little cousins he was going to take to the circus. He looked at them both thoughtfully, then finally said: "I will take the one that combs her hair." Barges to Foil U-Boats Barges to Pon U-boats. If actual trials prove the scheme to be practicable, it is understood that in order to check the depredations of the enemy's u-boats, immense oceangling barges towed by powerful armed tugs, may be used instead of steamships for transporting freight through the submarine zones. Long, low-sitting, inclosed craft of steel construction will be tested. Crews being unnecessary, the barges are to be decked a few inches above the water line so that from a distance they will be practically invisible to a periscope. As is perhaps generally known, a tub, because of its small size and comparatively shallow draft, offers a torpedo a poor target. In a gun duel, should a U-boat risk a fight, the tug would have nearly an even break with the enemy.-Popular Mechanics Magazine. BOSTON PIANIST OPENS STUDIO IN KANSAS CITY.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1918 ```markdown ``` In the Yosemite. If you go to Yosemite this summer, you should plan to visit the monster mountain climax of the national park of which Mount Lyell is the chief. This is no one-day hike with a luxurious public camp at the other end of it. It means taking enough camping-out equipment along to enable you to spend three or four nights in the open. But after all that is no great matter, for it so seldom rains in the Sierra that tents will not be necessary; comfortable sleeping bags, a coffee pot, a few tins, and a plentiful supply of food will be all that is necessary—besides, of course, a good guide. All equipment, including guide and horses, may be got in the valley. The first night out from the valley should be spent in the celebrated Tuolumne Meadows where you may have plenty of trout for supper for the catching; the Tuolumne is a capital trout stream. Lyell's Inner Shrine. After an early trout breakfast, your outfit will travel up the river to the mouth of Lyell Fork, and, swinging around Johnson peak, will follow that beautiful stream miles up its long scenic canyon. Past Rafferty peak and Parsons peak on your right, and skirting long Kuna Crest with its frothing cascades on your left, you will find yourself at lunch time at the head of the canyon facing lofty shelves of granite, far beyond which loom glacier-shrouded peaks. These, as you will see presently, are Mount Lyell, 13,000 feet, and its flanking glands, McClure mountain on the north, and Rodgers peak on the south. Scrambling up the granite shelf and over Donohue pass, your horses carry you through a vast basin of tumbled granite encircled at its majestic climax by a titanic rampart of nine sharp glistening peaks and hundreds of spear-like points, the whole cloaked in enormous shrouds of snow. Presently—just how you do not know, so breathless is your gaze ahead—the granite spurs inclose you. And presently your horses scrambling over impossible walls and shelves, looms above you a mighty glistening wall which apparently forbids further approach to Lyell's inner shrine. But even this the agile horses surmount and you find yourself in the summit's very embrace, facing glaciers and a lakelet of robin's-egg blue. This is the Sierra's climax! Passing south along the John Muir trail you cross the Yosemite boundary and in a couple of hours camp at Thousand Island lake in the shadow of Banner peak. Your day's ride has been seventeen miles, and at day's close, you find yourself at a spot so extraordinarily wild and noble that you vote it worth the trip a thousand times had there been no Lyell on the way. For Banner peak, with its 12,975 feet of altitude and its remarkable beauty and personality, will remain a vivid memory to your dying day. Leaving Thousand Island lake the next morning you may return as you came—four days; three nights. Or, far better, if you can spare the time, you will linger an hour or two in front of Banner before starting, and, again, an hour or two in Lyell's inner shrine; you then may camp at the head of Lyell canyon, spend the next night at Tenaya lake for the sunset and the early morning, and jog leisurely back to the valley—five days; four nights. Lyell's Inner Shrine. Thousand Island Lake. Thus will you taste, in addition to the stirring beauty of the incomparable valley, the glory of the High Sierra in its noblest expression. QUEER CUSTOMS IN BORNEO Norwegian Explorer Writes of Some of His Experiences in Qualit customs in darkest Borneo are described by Dr. Carl Lumholtz, Norwegian traveler. Doctor Lumholtz says, in part: We met six natives who had been hunting the rhinoceros in the west. The horn of the animal when powdered is in great demand by the Chinese as a medicine, and fetches a high price. Such an expedition may last for two months. The hunters carry no provisions, and live on sago and what animals they can kill. When there is a scarcity of food they frequently go three or four days merely on water, and stay the pangs of hunger with tobacco. I was told that a man would tackle a rhinoceros with a spear single-handed, though the beast is very difficult to kill. One day we were surprised by the arrival of a Saputan chief with two companions in a boat. They brought with them a dog, a blowpipe for darts, and a recently killed pig. Not far from the Muller mountains we camped upon the Upper Kasao river, which is inhabited by Saputans. They are a crude, friendly people, who, a hundred years ago, were mere cave-dwellers in the mountains to the east. At Saputan I had the good fortune to take a cinematograph picture of the ceremony of the piercing of a chief's ears. It is their privilege to wear a tiger's tooth inserted in a hole in the upper part of each ear. The chief was seated and a board was placed behind his head. Friends and supporters assisted in the operation, which consisted of an empty rifle cartridge being forced through his ear. Blood streamed down, and the man, apparently of a very robust type, seemed to be near fainting. A medicine man was hurriedly summoned, and he clapped his hands over the ears and then, opening them, produced a small stone. This he threw into the river. I was told that this stone was the supposed cause of the chief's illness. The scene was brought to a dramatic conclusion by the exhausted chief being ignominiously carried away on the back of a young man. During the afternoon more pebbles were produced by the same sleight of hand, and a plg was killed in order to appease the bad spirit which had caused the chief's illness. The Dyaks of the Upper Mahakkan are friendly to strangers, and as the great rapids down the river form a natural barrier they seldom receive visitors, and are little changed by outside influence. The Mohanmedan Malays, for instance, have never been able to extend their influence above the rapids. Luckily for the Dyaks, and incidentally for ethnology, these natives possess a fine muscular development. The women are well formed and move with grace and freedom. The headhunting part of the native religion has been practically suppressed by Dutch influence, and so far as I could ascertain the last case of the kind in this region was at least five years ago.

I hope it is true. (We hear it daily in the newspapers.)" "Another thing I wish to ask you.

Fortune's Favors Showered on Elderly Man Fortune's Favors Showered on Elderly Man BALTIMORE.—There is in the Methodist Home for the Aged in this city a tall, slim, erect old gentleman, who dresses with extreme neatness in blue serge and has a merry twinkle in his blue eye, who hears that he may receive from C. A. Kerr, a London attorney, to the effect that the English courts are at last ready to settle the estate. It is time they were, if Mr. Fuller's story is correct. Here it is: Mr. Fuller's mother told him that her father told her that her grandfather, Nathan Ireland, Mr. Fuller's great-grandfather, was the earl of Hadlaugh in England. He made his brother the successor to the title and married a lady of large fortune. They lived happily together for 20 years and then the lady died. There was difficulty about settling the estate. Nathan Ireland came to this country, accompanied by his eighteen-year-old son. Both fought in the Revolutionary war. The son married a Miss Spear of Pennsylvania. They had three daughters, the eldest of whom, Eleanor, married George Fuller of Baltimore county, after whom Fuller was named. She was Mr. Fuller's mother. Throughout her life and the lives of other heirs, says the elderly gentleman of the Methodist home, the legal fight for the estate was continued. Heirs in England fought for it, too. Now all have died except Mr. Ireland and Mr. Fuller, and Mr. Fuller had 13 brothers and sisters. He does not understand the legal technicalities which may be involved in the settlement of an estate which has been in dispute for 100 years, but is firm in saying that Attorney Kerr's letter informs him that settlement will be made.

NEW YORK—Lect. Joseph S. Smith "Trench Warfare," both written with the Canadian and Scotch armies his American uniform. A few weeks ago he received a letter from his twelve-year-old brother Paul, which he inclosed in his last note to some friends in New York.

Should Catch Small Lobster and Leave Larger Ones to Breed, Is Opinion Expressed by Expert. The lobster has passed beyond the reach of the poor and has become a luxury only to be enjoyed by the rich. Every year the price of lobsters advances a few points, and even at the highest price offered it is difficult to obtain them. From Massachusetts comes the information that were it not for the catches in Maine and Nova Scotia, lobsters could not be had in Massachusetts, for the waters of that state have been fished out. In 1888, so the Boston Transcript says, 1,740,850 lobsters of legal size were caught in Massachusetts. In 1914, only 16,138 were taken there. The opinion seems to be gaining ground in Massachusetts that a mistake has been made in dealing with the lobster industry. The small lobster has been protected, while the large lobster, which is the one which produces an enormous quantity of young, has been taken. This, it is held by some, is wrong. We should catch the small lobster, so it is argued, and leave the bigger ones to breed. There seems to be some virtue in this contention, because in spite of the lobster hatching plants maintained by the federal government fewer lobsters are being taken each year, while the demand for them is continually increasing. This, of course, accounts for the high prices. It is also claimed that in planting lobster fry the federal agents have made serious blunders. The fry have been liberated in places where they have been subjected to the attacks of other fish, and few of the lobsters hatched in the government plants have ever attained a size where they could look after themselves. The experienced fisherman of the Maine coast have frequently called attention to the mistakes which were being made in lobster propagation and preservation, but as frequently happens in the making of laws, the opinions of men who know something about lobsters and their habits have been ignored, and the theorists have been the only ones consulted. If the federal government should put a closed time on lobsters for several years and arrange with the Canadian government to do the same thing, it is reasonable to suppose that the lobsters would increase and this industry would regain something of the magnitude it has lost. But we have no idea that such a plan will be adopted. It would be strenuously opposed by the dealers, who now make large profits in the business, and probably by the fishermen also, who have considerable capital tied up in their fishing gear. What has happened in Massachusetts, where few lobsters are now being taken, must eventually take place in Maine, and unless some radical step is adopted the time is not far away when even as a luxury the lobster will become so scarce as to be beyond the reach of everyone save the epicurean of the plutocratic class.—Portland Press. Fish Eggs. The cod is estimated to yield 45,000,000 eggs each season. As many as 8,000,000, 9,000,000 and even 9,500,000 eggs have been found in the roe of a single cod. An eel was caught in Scotland some years ago which contained upward of 10,000,000 eggs. This, however, would appear to have been an exceptional find, and it is generally admitted that the cod is more prolific than any other fish. Though not equaling the cod, many kinds of fish are exceedingly prolific. More than 36,000 eggs have been counted in a herring, 38,000 in a smelt, 1,000,000 in a sole, 1,120,000 in a roach, 3,000,000 in a sturgeon, 342,000 in a carp, 383,000 in a tench, 546,000 in a mackerel, 992,000 in a perch, and 1,357,000 in a flounder. The oyster is also very prolific. It has been ascertained by recent observation that in the liquor of their shells small oysters can be seen by aid of the microscope—120 in the space of an inch, covered with shells, and swimming actively about. A herring weighing six or seven ounces is provided with about 30,000 eggs. It has been estimated that in three years a single pair of herrings would produce 154,000,000. Buffon calculated that if a pair of herrings could be left to breed and multiply undisturbed for a period of 20 years they would yield an amount of fish equal in bulk to the globe—London' Tit-Bits. An Aid to Memory. The stranger in camp pointed to a stack of army hats and caps on a shelf behind the desk in the "Y" hut. Said he to the secretary: "I didn't know you ran a clothing store." "We don't," replied the secretary. "Stick around a minute and you'll understand." Before the minute had ended, a lad in khaki came in. "Got a baseball to lend me?" he asked the man at the desk. "Sure thing." The secretary produced a ball from a box under the counter, the soldier seized it, left his hat in pawn and rushed away bareheaded toward the playing field. "We tried keeping books on our athletic equipment at first," said the secretary. "But this way is simpler and more effective. We never run out of baseballs any more."

ITH the entrance of American troops into the front-line trenches the rife is coming into its own in the European war. Hitherto, except with the Canadians, it has not played the part that might have been expected of it. Already the deadly accuracy of American marksmanship has taken its toll of German victims, for the rifle is the favorite weapon of our troops. The reasons for this are several. The American is a hunter by tradition. It is in his blood because his father and grandfather before him won the wilderness with the old muzzleloader. Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett and Kit Carson are all old friends of his. The wild West is familiar territory, even though he may never have crossed the Mississippi. For he has read the tales of trappers and hunters and practiced them on a small scale in the woods outside his village. The American is a marksman by training. What boy has not spent long days in the woods with a gun in his hands? What youth, excepting only some born and reared in the largest cities, has not come home at night in triumph with a bag of cottontails? The third reason why Sammy sticks to his rifle in the trenches is that it is the best military arm in the world. For these three reasons, then—because the rifle is his weapon by tradition and by training, and because the one he carries is the best manufactured—our infantryman backs the rifle against the hand grenade and the bayonet. He can use any of the three, but for choice give him a clean 600-yard shot at a moving spot of gray outlined against the dun Flanders background of a scarcorn hill. For these three reasons, then—because the rife is his weapon by tradition and by training, and because the one he carries is the best manufactured—our infantryman backs the rifle against the band grenade and the bayonet. He can use any of the three, but for choice give him a clean 600-yard shot at a moving spot of gray outlined against the dun Flanders background of a scarcorn hill. It has been acknowledged for years that the American regular army, small though it was prior to 1917, is the finest body of marksmen in any army. Our teams competing at Camp Perry and at Risley against the best shots of Europe and the western hemisphere, proved conclusively that the superiority still rests with us. The United States government has made for its army the most perfect military rifles ever produced. These are the Springfield model of 1903 and the 1917 model, both of which are beyond question better guns than those used by any other army in the world. The cartridges for these weapons are the best now in use. Orders have been placed for 2,920,000 rifles. The production now averages 50,000 a week, sufficient to equiv three divisions. One billion cartridges have been ordered for practice in the training camps. Our manufacture of rifle cartridges excels in amount of any other country. One firm alone turned out 125,000,000 during one month. The United States government has made for its army the most perfect military rifles ever produced.

One billion cartridges have been ordered for practice in the training camps. Our manufacture of rifle cartridges excels in amount that of any other country. One firm alone turned out 125,000,000 during one month. The policy of the government has been to appropriate about $13 a year for the rifle practice of each soldier in the army. Target ranges have been built in all parts of the country. These were available not only for the use of the army and the National Guard but also for rifle associations. Germany has not been able to do this. With a standing army so great as the one maintained by the kaiser in peace times, such an appropriation would have interfered with other plans. If $13 a year had been spent on ammunition for the rifle practice of each man in the German standing army and reserve, the Teutons would be far better shots than they are today. But this gain would be at the expense of the funds necessary for the supply of munitions the general staff was accumulating against the day of need. Prior to the war the German soldier fired only about 12 ball cartridges a year on the range. The rifle ranges in Europe are few and inferior. Land is far too valuable to permit of much being used for such purpose. Scarcely any of these ranges are suitable for practice at a distance of over 400 yards. An appropriation of $13 to the man for ammunition would not have made European soldiers anything like as expert as ours. The lack of opportunity to shoot under the field conditions, which are the foundation of a good rifleman's work in actual battle stress, would necessarily have debarred this. The American is a hunter. He used to be a rifleman from necessity, since his safety and his food depended on his skill. He is now one from choice. There are few of our yungsters who do not own or have access to a .22 rifle, and but few who do not get an occasional chance to use a shotgun. The hunting instinct is still strong in us. It is estimated that about 3,500,000 sportsmen in this country hunt every year with a rifle or a shotgun. Even in thickly settled districts game is still plentiful enough to offer enticing sport. The license fee is small, amounting usually to only $1. Ammunition is cheaper here than elsewhere. The finest and least costly machine-made guns are produced in this country. Most important, we have no established aristocracy which controls the shooting preserves, to the exclusion of the general public. Americans Best With the Rifle Weapon Comes Into Its Own With Arrival of Pershing's Sharpshooters In Front Trenches PRACTICE THAT HAS MADE AMERICAN SOLDIERS BEST MARKSMEN IN WORLD The conditions in Europe are totally different. Land is owned by the aristocracy, and since feudal times hunting has been a privilege peculiar to that class. Unless he secures employment as a gamekeeper, the poor man has no chance to learn to shoot. Nor have the middle classes any better opportunity. Ammunition is expensive. The license fee is excessive, running as high as $25. The only good guns are hand-made, for the reason that gunsmiths look only to the upper class as purchasers. Hence no good, cheap, machine-made rifles are manufactured. Lastly, there is no open land upon which to shoot. For all these reasons, the workingman of Europe knows very little about firearms. Man for man, the total number of troops in the field taken into consideration, our Civil war was the bloodiest ever seen. The operations in Europe during the present struggle have always been over a wide front. The numbers engaged have been enormous and the total losses staggering. Yet the wastage of human life has been relatively small compared with that of the Union and Confederate armies. There has been no Gettysburg, no Bloody Angle in the present conflict.

Yet the wastage of human life has been relatively small compared with that of the Union and Confederate armies. There has been no Gettysburg, no Bloody Angle in the present conflict. Why? Neither the forces under Grant or Lee attained the perfection of training acquired by the armies of today, with the exception of a few star corps composed of picked regiments. The heavy casualties were due to the individual fighting ability of the troops, to their expert use of the rifle. From the days of the minute men of the Revolution, the superiority of the American rifleman has been conceded by all. Morgan's backwoodsmen proved their efficiency as marksmens in the War for Independence. The raw frontiersman demonstrated it again at New Orleans under Jackson against Pakenham's trained regulars. At the Alamo, Crockett and Bowle, with a little handful of riflemen, held the hordes of Santa Ana at bay. Our history is full of incidents in which a little band of grim men, their backs to the wall, have held off many times their number by sheer tenacity and deadly rifle execution. The reason for this is not far to seek. In early days America was a virgin land people by nomadic tribes with an amazing skill at woodcraft. These natives had to be outwitted and outfought. No country in the world, with the possible exception of British Southeast Africa, ever had such a wealth of game as this. The first settlers were Anglo-Saxons, the greatest sport-loving people on earth. With them they brought little but firearms and stout hearts. They had to defend themselves against the Indians and to live by the chase. Gradually they learned to raise grain, fruit and vegetables native to the land of their adoption. But for a long time their main source of supply was wild game. It resulted that every boy grew up with a rifle in his hands. Inevitably these frontiersmen, faced with an opportunity based upon necessity, developed the keen eye, the steady nerve and the woodmanship that made them the best shots ever known. With the growth of the country the tide of civilization rolled westward. Clark opened the great Northwest. Pike led the way to the Rockies. Always the adventurous son pushed to the remote frontier. The greatest trek in the history of the western hemisphere was on. For 50 years it continued. Almost every foot of the West was won by toll and hardship, at the cost of sacrifice from which men and women emerged strong and self-reliant. The tradition of the hunt persists with us. The man used to tramping the hills for big game endures hardship and privation for the sake of the sport. He learns to shoot at fast-moving game under difficulties of distance and visibility. It follows that when he is taken out to the rifle range and instructed he learns in a few lessons the proper sighting and method of using the military rifle. The reason for this is not far to seek.

These once acquired, he is in a class by himself, for he is used to shooting under the same conditions, though with less danger to himself, that obtain at the front. No amount of practice at the rifle range can serve as a fit substitute for his experience. It is this fundamental training which lies back of target practice that is responsible for the marksmanship of the American army. The marine corps holds the finest record in the service. Fully one-third of this organization wears the marksmanship emblem. At least one-half of the marines are first-class riflemen.

The marine corps holds the finest record in the service. Fully one-third of this organization wears the marksmanship emblem. At least one-half of the marines are first-class riflemen. To win the expert emblem a marksman must shoot over the qualifying course at all ranges from THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1918 200 to 600 yards in both rapid and slow fire and must make above 253 points out of a possible 300. The sharpshooter must average 228 out of 300 on the same course. It is no unusual record for a candidate of either of these classes to hang up ten consecutive bulls-eyes out of ten shots at the 600-yard range. The German does not rely on his individual ability with the rifle. He is inclined to shoot wildly and at random. Reports have reached us of German companies frantically wasting great quantities of ammunition after a reigned attack on the part of the foe. This is in part due to the German theory that a certain percentage of hits will result from a given number of shots. The Boche infantryman, except at short range, does not direct his aim at a particular adversary. He fires for general results. A German officer, for instance, learns that there are a certain number of the enemy in a given zone about 100 yards square, 500 yards in front of his position. He estimates that if his company sprays this zone for a half-hour a certain percentage of casualties will be inflicted, dependent upon the rapidity of fire, number of marksmen and size of zone. An American farmer boy could tell him how erroneous this theory is. He knows, because experience has taught him. Time and time again he has fired with a shotgun into a flock of ducks or a covey of grouse on the wing bunched apparently so closely that a miss is hardly possible. There are 150 or 200 individual shots in the load, yet such an attempt nearly always scores a complete miss. Naturally this percentage of failures must be still higher in rifle shooting.

An attacking party may be advancing in what looks like a dense mass. There is to the eye very little space between the men. A "general results" shot ought to score a hit. In point of fact, it usually does not. Spaces between the moving men are constantly opening. Very little of the front offers a vital target. A shot through a knapsack, a helmet, through baggy breeches, or thick leggings, even through the fleshy part of the body, will not stop a charging foe. The only way to make sure of a hit is to pick an individual target, nim at dead center, and fire accurately. An infantryman in full equipment is a good deal like a hawk on a fence post. You are likely to get a lot of feathers from your shot and very little hawk. The ability to shoot accurately has made the American rifleman dangerous. This same skill is making our infantryman superior to his foe on the western front. General Pershing recognizes the need of maintaining this advantage, for in his reports he recommends that the greatest care be taken in rifle instruction at the cantonments since this is the most valuable weapon both in offense and defense. Put a company of crack German troops against an equal number of ours. Let them direct their fire based on the "general results" theory at our men while our boys follow the American method of selecting an individual target. An average company of Sammles would contain about ten experts, 20 sharpshooters, 35 marksmen and a large number of first-class riflemen. The result would not be hard to determine. It is because of the deficiency of the Germans as riflemen that their general staff has resorted so largely to the hand grenade. For the same reason the French and British have done the same. We read stories of infantrymen chasing troops a quarter of a mile to get close enough to throw hand grenades at them. Well-directed rifle fire would have been far more effective. There are times at short range when the grenade is a superior weapon. One tossed into a group of men will do more damage than a single rifle bullet, but the supply of grenades a man can carry is limited and the distance at which they can be used effectively is short. Since the French and British are better shots than the Germans they send more riflemen over the top and fewer grenadiers. The ability to shoot accurately has made the American rifleman dangerous.

Most of these had seen service in Egypt, Africa or other colonies where conditions in a degree resemble ours. The work these veterans did in the first battle of Ypres and at the retreat from Mons, where with practically no artillery they held four or five times their number shows what marksmanship can do for an army. The Latin instinct is to use the knife. For this reason the French and the Italian revert often to the bayonet. Because the German does not like close hand-to-hand work he prefers the grenade. The Canadian is our born brother at arms. The conditions that have made us made him. His effectiveness as a soldier is due to his individual initiative and to his skill with the rifle. What is true of him is true of our soldiers. Already they show a tendency to stick to the rifle. When they get going well the Germans will pray to be put against any troops except Americans—and the chief reason for this dread will be Sammy's expertness with the rifle.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWAFER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 23 JESUS TRIUMPHANT OVER DEATH. LESSON TEXT-Mary 16:1-22 Mary 1613. GOLDEN TEXT - Christ risen from the dead. I Corinthians 15:20. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL TEACHERS-Matthew 28:1-20; Luke 23:56- 24:12; John 20:1-25; I Corinthians 15:1-58; I Thesalonians 4:12-18. PRIMARY TOPIC=Jesus' power over death, - Mark 15:42-16:20 INTERMEDIATE TOPIC-The Living Christ. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-Christ's resurrection and the Christian's assurance of immortality. 1. The Ministry of Love (vv. 1-4). 1. By whom (v. 1). Mary Magdalene, the mother of James and Salome. 2. When (v. 2). Early in the morning, the first day of the week. (3) Their perplexity (vv. 3, 4). They questioned as to who should roll away the large stone from the mouth of the tomb. To their surprise they found the stone removed. They like us, find their difficulties are removed before they come to them. If they had believed him, their anxieties and sorrows would not have been. II. The Angel in the Tomb (vv. 5-8). Jesus knew that these women would come to the sepulcher with unbelieving hearts, so he had an angel waiting there to announce to them the fact of his resurrection. How many times we are helped out of doubts and difficulties by an angel which the omniscient Lord knew would be needed at a particular time. With such companions and helpers no place need seem lonely, and no condition need affright us. The angel's message: 1. "Be not affrighted" (v. 6). What comforting words these must have been to these bewildered women. The open tomb is the cure for fear; it steadles our hearts when things look dark and we do not understand. 2. "Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified (v. 6). This three-fold designation with marvelous clearness shows: (1.) His humanity—Jesus. (2.) Lowly residence—Nazareth. (3.) Ignominious death—crucified. 3. "He is risen; he is not here; behold the place where they laid him" (v. 6). These words throw light upon his birth, humility and shameful death, He who was born in lowly circumstances, and suffered the shameful death of the cross, is now the conqueror of death. His resurrection gives meaning to his death. If Christ had not risen, then his death would have been meaningless. "If Christ be not risen, your faith is vain; ye are in your sins" (1 Cor. 15:17). 4. "Go your way, tell his disciples and Peter" (v. 7). As soon as it was known that Christ had risen from the dead, they were to tell it to the disciples. Knowledge of Christ's triumph involves the responsibility of witnessing concerning it. The disciples all needed this blessed news, but Peter especially since he had so denied him. Wonderful grace, this! 5. "He goeth before you into Galllee: there shall ye see him" (v. 7). Christ had told the disciples that he would arise from the dead and meet them in Galllee, but their unbelief kept them from this blessed truth. 11. The Appearances of the Risen Christ (v. 9-14). These appearances had as their object the restoration of the disciples from their awful failure and discouragement and the convincing them, without the peradventure of a doubt, of Christ's resurrection. Since his resurrection was to be the central theme of apostolic preaching, it was necessary that they have certainty of knowledge as to this matter (Acts 1:3). Without the resurrection of Christ, his death would be meaningless. Out of the ten or more appearances, Mark selects three. 1. To Mary Magdalene (vv. 9-11). Mary's heart responded to the Saviour's gracious deliverance of her from demons. Her sufferings were no doubt terrible. She is the first to the tomb. Her devotion is amply rewarded by being the first to meet the risen Lord. Light will surely come to the heart that really loves the Lord, though the faith is weak. She went at once and told the sorrowing disciples, but they refused to believe. 2. To two disciples on the way to Emmaus (vv. 12, 13). Luke gives full particulars concerning this appearance. Jesus had walked, talked, and eaten with them, convincing them that the Lord is risen indeed (Luke 24:13-35). The testimony of such is trustworthy. 3. To the eleven disciples (v. 14). 5. 16. The eleventh disciples (v. 14). IV. The Commission of the Risen Lord (vv. 15-18). After the disciples were convinced of the truth of his resurrection, Christ sent them forth to "preach the Gospel to every creature." What a glorious and supreme task is this! "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (v. 16). V. The Activity of the Enthroned Christ (vv. 19-20). After giving the disciples their commission, he ascends on high, and from the unseen sphere directs their activities. Wherever they went he confirmed their word. Knitting Bags, Work Bags and Catch Alls Silk Street Suits There is nothing for it but to knit and knit and then knit some more and carry on. She who does not must be forever explaining why not. It's an obligation and all that we have to show that our hearts are in the right place are knitting needles, knitting bags and such things. The four hundredth pair of socks may prove just a little monotonous, but there are new knitting bags to add the spice of variety to our daily lives. At the ribbon counters they are showing some immensely clever ones along with other work bags and "catch-alls." Those who spend their time thinking of new things in bags have grown to be such adepts that life at the ribbon counter promises to become one continual round of Joyous new bags—from now until the end of the year. Then—unless the war is over—they will begin all over again with 1919 knitting bags. A new arrival that charms everyone is a knitting bag that looks like a little umbrella. It is made of silk or strips of ribbon, sewed together and cut into a circle. The circle is cut out in six scallops at the circumference and the points of these scallops are sewed to the ends of the narrow strip that forms the handle Silk Str Some time before the days of midsummer have really arrived, merchants assemble stocks of silk street suits, ready to be presented when the first hot day comes. These midsummer suits are almost untrimmed, but are carefully designed and distinguished by smart style-touches and niceties of finish that place them close to the formal suit class. Clever women sometimes take their graceful but plain suits and tone them up with a little effective hand work, but 'even without that, they are equal to almost any demand. There are many pretty suits of heavy taffetas and of gros-de-londre in the displays. One of the new taffeta suits is shown in the picture and it could hardly be simpler or plainer, but it is remarkably good style. The coat opens to the bust line, differing from earlier styles which were open to the waist line. It has a short, flaring skirt portion with three plats at each side and a little dip in front, all very crisp and spirited. Flat, white pearl buttons fasten it. They invite the addition of a white pique vestee and collar and white cuffs. Altogether they three scallops at each end of the strip. Then the handle is slipped through a small slide made of the ribbon and when it is drawn through the bag falls in the form of an umbrella. The tassel is sewed at the center of the circle of silk. Work bags that will serve for knitting as well as other kinds of work are made of strips of plain and brocaded ribbon sewed together lengthwise like that shown at the right of the umbrella bag. The top is cut in scallops and draws up on narrow satin ribbons that run through a casing sewed along the base of the scallops in the plain ribbon. Small rings sewed at the sides of the brocaded ribbon are covered with crochet silk and the narrow ribbon hangers pass from the casing through them. Below this bag a smaller workbag is gathered over large glass rings. It is made of plain satin ribbon joined with shirrings over cord and finished with silk tassels. The bag at the right is made of narrow strips of ribbon feather stitched together. Its mouth is a small embroidery hoop so it is always open and ready to catch what may be dropped into it. It hangs from four cords of silk and is finished with a tassel. eet Suits make this suit irresistibly cool looking, and that is the charm of charmer in midsummer. White pumps and stockings might be worn with it to the best advantage. Among these new silk suits there is one having a coat with three flounces, set in across the back that is very pretty. It has narrow pockets set on at each side with sows of small buttons, and a belt of the silk. These belts, in many silk suits, extend around the waist in the most straightforward and matter-of-fact manner, which is another point of departure from style in cloth suits. The most popular colors are navy, taupe and black, but light colors, as sand gray or white, have a daintiness that compensates for their being shorter lived. To keep a pet palm in order, the leaves should be sponged carefully every week. Don't water palms too often; let the earth become dry, then soak it liberally.
