Fouse Lexington, Ky. Farewell Words.....Rev. Wm. H. Thomas Chorus "STAR SPANGLED BANNER." With a forceful unraised hand and with the commanding quality of a General, backed up by the experienced counsel of the Editor of the Sun, Mr. J. J. Mattjoy, Grand Marshal of the day, formed twelve thousand of enthusiastic Negroes into marching order exactly at 9:30 a.m. last Thursday morning. Negroes who were out to give expressions to their feelings of patriotism and they did, oh so great! As early as seven o'clock Mr. Crews and other committeeemen were busily engaged doing the things which were soon to cause the mass of people to burst forth in arrayed order. What was it all about? You know and I know. The drafted boys, black boys if you please, were leaving for Camp Funston and we their friends, brothers, mothers, fathers sweetheart and comrades were there to cheer them on. While the Grand Marshal was forming the many platoons, groups, stand bearers, postures, signs and vehicles, appointing and reappointing, ordering and reordering, the draftees, who had already marched from the Local Board up to the Paseo "Y" were being addressed by various speakers in short talks—all of one theme—America Must Win War and Negroes Must and Will Gladly Do Their Part. The acclamations of that vast, happy, joyous, delightful crowd testified that they understood. And they cheered and cheered, leaped in the air, waved their flags and went wild with enthusiasm, while the big singing chorus standing by sang "Over There." One draftee was heard to exclaim that he felt like he could excel the exploit of the two black heroes who recently whipped 20 Germans. They start and swing out on the last turn of the Paseo at 18th street. They move along and stretch out to 15th street without phasing the thousands who wait for a place in the line. Turning West the eMarshal discovers thousands disposed to march in groups along the curbing. These were promptly commanded to fall and they swelled the ranks to the mighty. Looking back from the front on the coming thousands in line, one could see what could have easily embodied a "Black Town" only the black was nicely relieved by many bronzed faces and the palm beaches, the shirtwaists and highly decorated attire of our women who seem to show as much fire and glow of the hour as the men. The parade formed as follows: Grand Marshal, J. J. Mattjoy and Aide George Anderson. Squad of Motor Cycle Police. Pension of Negro Police Officers in full uniform. American Flag. Flags of all the Allied Nations borne by prominent citizens. General Secretary of sixty. Second Regiment K. of P. Band. Four companies niform Rank K. of P. The Kansas City Sun BAND K.G.Mo. The Famous Second Regiment K. of P. Band of Kansas City, Mo., which under the leadership of Sergeant Cooper has become the greatest Negro Band in America and Kansas City stands ready to back in a competitive musical contest for $5,000.00 against all comers. At Quindaro last Sunday afternoon they rendered one of the most difficult and classical programs ever rendered by a Colored band and it won the unanimous approval of officers and men stationed at Western University. While in the monster Parade on Thursday they were the recipients of a one continuous ovation from the start to the close of the Parade and in the business district, where thousands of whites lined the sidewalks, the applause was simply defending. Red Cross Unit carrying large American Flag, Mrs. T. G. Campbell commanding. Wirtz Graduate Nurses in uniform. Wirtz Brothers beautiful automobile hearse with inscription, "We are going after Kaiser Bill." Four Companies of Boy Scouts, under Scout Master Rev. F. D. Wells. Large Flag carried by oung women all large in hair. Drafted men from the various wards. Mothers, sisters and relatives of drafted men. Two thousand School Children. Citizens, men and women on foot, decorated. Two hundred motor cars. They go on and on, turning at McGee street up to Eleventh street down Petticoat Lane to Main. On this broad asphalted expanse on thoroughfare, which the motor cycle police had cleared, marched the now lively throng. The great Second Regiment Military Band struck up the National air and at the inception of the Star Spangled Banner, all marchers and many observers uncovered. Here we give the white people credit for the "hands" they gave us. This was a parade to win the war and none knew it better than they—they did their duty. We are on Main street. The escort maintains, ah, heightens joy of the moment with more music and more enthusiasm. It is all glorious! See how they march! And they keep time, every mother's son and daughter. They are Colored people and they therefore step proudly, and as natal as a goosefoot in a clover field. They put 'em down as if they would step on the very notes that the untiring band continuously played All the popular airs were played over and over again but the people showed a preference for the National Anthems and they got what they wanted. It was a feast of music and march. Turning east they came back to Grand and started south, a broad beeline to one of the approaches of the Union Station. Those conscious of a KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1918. certain indifference on the part of the Kansas City Star concerning us looked up at this Institution and seemed to challenge it to criticise the thousands of Colored people who were passing it. We noted, however, a portion of the office staff giving us the glad hand and cheering us on. We are thankful for this, and those who expressed themselves obviously were true Americans. In the moment they stood above the line of color and felt the atmosphere of pure patriotism, so much for the Star. We drop down to 18th street and keep going. The workers in the big factories on each side of the street show hearty and unbounded applause. One large concern filled their hundred or more windows with cheering onlookers, chiefly women. But the big Carnie-Goudie Company engaged the utmost attention from all the marchers with a massive streamer which read: "Goodbye and Gooduck." At this all cheered. Add to this the still loud and happy emanations of the band and the continuous whoop of marchers and auto horns and it was now pandemonium. We are now at the approach of the station. The parade becomes a living, hollering, flag waving mass and in they go. By the thousands! The colloidal building seems a mere booth. White people seem scared. It seemed that it was understood that Negroes would take the place. And they did. Still, no lights fell down. The supports of the building remained in their concrete order. The water founts did not go dry, nor were poisoned. The only unusual occurrence was the big jam at the outlets where eagerness coupled with some roughness was displayed—it was the only thing that seemed to reflect on the whole demonstration. This can be avoided in the future. Colored people have got 'em, all parts of them. They have got the temperament and talent of a great people. It takes a frank, clean race, without guile to rise to these occasions so splendidly. Here let us point out for once, the value of leadership. We have got to have somebody to rise to every public need and tell us that the stuff is in us and make us demonstrate it ourselves. Every time this is done in a tangible way we are moving on up to the front with the foremost American groups and we are becoming a step more progressive. Then hats off to him who fathered the idea. Hats off to the Committee who cooperated. Hats off to the speakers. Hats off to the Marshal of the hats and hats off to somewhere around 20,000 Negroes who turned out to cheer our boys on their way. It was grand and great. NOTES ON THE PARADE, Among the banners carried in the Photo by J. M. MIEK J. J. J.

Mattjyo and him himself a bor Probation Officer of Jackson County, Mo., who as Grand Marshal of the Monster Parade, held in honor of the Drafted Men, made a striking impression upon everyone who witnessed this great affair both by his magnificent physique and horsemanship and by his organizing ability to handle so easily and satisfactorily a great parade such as this was. As a hustler, Mattjoy is in a class to himself and the "wrecking crew" composed of Mr. W. C. Hueston, Dr. E. B. Ramsey and himself, which made a flying tour over the city collecting funds to make this great Parade possible, won for themselves the gratitude and sincere regard of every Negro in Greater Kansas City. As an orator Mr. Mattjoy is in a class with Hueston, Calloway and Crews, and as an organizer he has got everybody in the West backed off the board. Kansas City is exceedingly proud of Mr. J. J. Mattjoy and wishes for him success in all his undertakings as he has proven himself a born leader of men. Hats off to J. J. Mattjoy. parade was one saying "We are all 100% Americans"; another read "50,000 Negroes are now over there and 500,000 more screaming to go. Look out Bill"; another read "We'll keep the home fires burning boys"; a fourth said "Make everybody work or fight"; another said "Bound for Berlin via Funston"; while yet another which seemed to make the big hit of the parade read "If two Negroes can whip 40 Huns, what the h—— can 500,000 do?" The Ladies of the Red Cross, as well as the uniform Nurses from the City and Wheatley-Provident Hospital, were the recipients of much ap please. Watkins Bros.' beautiful new auto mobile hearse bore on its side the inscription "Going to Bring Back the groes can whip 40 Huns, what the The Ladies of the Red Cross, as well as the uniform Nurses from the City and Wheatley-Provident Hospital, were the recipients of much applause. Watkins Bros', beautiful new automobile hearse bore on its side the inscription "Going to Bring Back the Kaiser." In the front ranks carrying the flags of the different Allied Nations were Dr. J. E. Dibble, Hon. L. A. Knox, Mr. N. C. Pearman, Mr. C. A. Starks, the writer, Hon. C. H. Calloway, Nelson C. Crews and Dr. E. B. Ramsey, and just preceding them was a massive Pythian carrying their beautiful new $200.00 American flag. One of the biggest hits of the parade was "One-ton" Chaney, the big humorous, good-natured kid of Eighteenth street who only weighed 357 pounds but who marched every step of the way from the Paseo to the Union Station and incidentally won a hat full of money from a lot of boobs who said he couldn't do it. He was given a great ovation all along the line of the parade. More than 200 beautifully decorated automobiles were in the Parade. Among the Ministers marching on foot were Drs. Thomas, Bacote, Hurse, Osborne, Wells, Williams, Jenkins. The singing of the marchers (singing as only Negroes can) brought round after round of applause in the business district. The address by Rev. Dr. J. W. Hurse was the greatest ever delivered to drafted men here and it brought a storm of applause as well as a flood of tears. The white people along the route of the parade made many favorable comments on the orderly conduct of the paraders and their enthusiasm. To J. J. Mattjoy more than any other man on earth belongs the credit for the wonderful demonstration, he alone having raised more than half the money secured to finance it beside working day and night to complete arrangements. One of the handsomest cars in the Parade was that of Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Bunch and with the car containing the officers of the Grand Chapter, led the Parade.

Mrs. Eva Smith arrived in the city from California last week to visit her mother, Mrs. Jas. O'Donnel, who is sick... Prof. Perkins of St. Joseph, Mo., was in the city last Sunday.... B. Hampton was over to Beatrice last Sunday and held services; there are some Baptists in Beatrice.... A series of meetings are in progress at Mt. Zion Baptist Church this week.... Mr. James O'Donnel is reported quite sick this week.... The Newman M. E. Church Sunday School pincked in Antelope Park, July 4th.... Mrs. Della Alexander is yet confined with injury and sickness.... Owing to the rain, Mt. Zion Baptist Church held their annual 4th of July dinner inside. However, amid disadvantages the affair was well patronized by members and friends and about twenty-five dollars was cleared.... Mary Ovington of Brooklyn, N. Y., member of the National Board of the N. A. A. C. P. was here on last Friday night. The Temple Theater was well filled with those of our race, seemingly eager to hear what was to be said of the race. Mrs. Ovington is not an orator by any means, but such as could hear what she said were elated. She recited the condition of our race and why she sacrificed her time and money to help in humanity's cause—thus the organization of this Association was effected and with the aid of our staunch white friends the association is continually growing and is greatly benefiting the conditions of our race. May our race strive to aid in this association that we may keep the "Home Fires Burning" for the suffrage of our cause.... Mrs. Fannie Young and Mrs. Ada Holmes went to Denver, Colo., last Saturday where they are attending the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs this week.... The members of the A. M. E. Church held their Fourth of July dinner in the basement, owing to the rain.... The A. A. O. N. Mystic Shrine elected officers for the ensuing year last week. Bigger and better things are the hope of the future. LINCOLN NEBR. Mrs. L. B. Moore and Mrs. F. D.

L. Maston....Mrs. L. B. Moore, Mrs. Ellen Corneal and Mr. Chas. Haynes are reported on the sick list this week....A Lodge called the Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem, which has been lately organized here by Mrs. Ida Banks of Omaha, had an annual Thanksgiving Sermon preached at the Newman A. M. E. Church last Sunday by Rev. A. W. Talbot. Visitors present were: Mrs. Ida Banks, Supreme Matron; Mr. Harry M. Graham, Supreme King of Kansas City, Kans....The series of meetings continues at Mt. Zion Baptist Church this week with success....Mr. John Carrigon and family will remove to St. Joseph. Mo., this week....Mr. and Mrs. Jas. O'Donnel are improving from recent illness....A. L. Taylor is able to be up and around home. BEVIER, MO. Rock Chapel has been engaged in a revival meeting conducted by Sister Susan J. Duncan of Kansas City, who is a power in the pulpit. Many souls have been happily converted under her. It is the voice of Rock Chapel and the community at large that God may bless her and that she may ever preach his gospel and in general she is an all around woman. She is an uplifter for humanity. REV. J. F. SMITH, Pastor. A NEW MAGAZINE A new magazine known as The Colored Athlete, published by E. J. Peters of Santa Montica, Cal., reaches our desk this week and is a very interesting and neatly printed book. This magazine invades a new field of endeavor and there is no reason why Brother Peters should not make it an instantaneous success. It is replete with photographs and biographies of prominent Negro athletes throughout the country and has as a frostispiece a likeness of Miss Fern Caldwell who is the champion tennis player of Southern California.

As Subscribers Pay in Full, Their Names Will be Added to This List. A few more days and our beautiful new Wheatley-Provident Hospital will be ready for inspection and dedication which the committee hopes to make one of the greatest events in the history of the race in this city. As soon as the contractors have turned over the building the ladies' clubs, fraternal organizations and individuals who have pledged themselves to furnish various rooms will be called on to install their furniture; then a program will be arranged including all the various social, civic and religious organizations in the city for the dedication ceremonies. The Negro State Medical Association, as well as the State Federation of Clubs, and the heads of the various fraternal organizations with their staff, will be invited to be present and take part in the ceremonies. Up the Ladies' Auxiliary have made a great quantity of new linen supplies and are busily engaged making others with which to equip the Institution; bills have been met promptly and the only thing required is that our people shall pay their pledges so that the whole plan of the General Committee may be carried out fully. The Sun has no hesitancy in saying that in appointment, arrangement and modern facilities, this hospital is vastly superior to any other owned and controlled exclusively by Negroes in this country and every citizen of Greater Kansas City should be proud of this splendid achievement.

The National Federation of Colored Women met in its 11th Biennial Session in Denver, Colorado, July 8th to 13th inclusive. The sessions were held at Shorter Chapel A. M. E. church and the representatives from Western, Eastern and Southern states were largest in attendance. On account of the high cost of transportation, many of the reports from the various states were mailed in without representation. Among the many commendable acts done at the splendid session was the cancellation of the mortgage on the home of Frederick Douglass and a fund set aside for the care of the grave of Mrs. Frederick Douglass and to erect a monument thereon. Many resolutions were adopted by the Federation and splendid programs were rendered each morning, afternoon and evening. The following-officers were elected: Mrs. Mary E. Talbert, Buffalo, N. Y.

Kansas City was honored this week by an informal visit from Dr. Clement Richardson, the newly elected head of Lincoln Institute. During a stay of two days he was the house guest of Joe E. Herriford, 1217 Woodland Ave. who was generously assisted by Dr. Wm. J. Thompkins, Superintendent of the City Hospital, in entertaining the distinguished guest. Dr. Richardson by his simple, unaffected manner, his frank and cultured disposition, made a host of friends during his brief visit in the city and both colored and white people are already convinced that the Board of Regents has found the right man to make Lincoln Institute just what it ought to be in the educational development of our people in Missouri and the west. The new President is a graduate of Harvard and is one of the type of men whom the late Booker T. Washington gathered about him at Tuskegee whence he comes to Missouri after several years experience at the great southern institution. He has been at Lincoln Institute a month and already has a firm grasp upon the situation and has laid plans for a wide scope of usefulness in his new field. During his stay in Kansas City he merely devoted himself to the preliminaries of what he hopes to be a wide Don't let your beauty be spoiled by a plexion can be made as fair and soft as ve Dr. Fred Pa SKIN WHITE AND SKIN WHITEN Whiten dark or brown skin, remove all blemish.

A attended by over forty of the men about town who do things Dr Thompkins acted as master of ceremonies at this informal affair and short talks were made by Grisham, Crews, Herriford, Coles, Hueston, Knox, Shackelford, Harrison, Bowser, Perry, Lee and others. President Richardson in his brief talk outlined his ambitions in his new position. He offered himself as the strict servant of the whole people without any self adulation or self gloryification. He indicated his desire to carry out the modern ideas of industrial education and at the same time maintain a strong acedemic department for those better fitted for the higher literary and scientific culture. The school will not be one-sided if the new President can prevent it. He has been given a free rein in selecting his faculty and will endeavor to secure the services of the very best available teachers for each department. Much headway has already been made in this direction. The Kansas City people have pledged to Dr. Richardson their unqualified support in creating this new, long looked for order of things and it now looks like the school will start out with a greatly increased attendance in September. The whole people of Missouri will unite in this same sentiment and will extend a hand to the new Lincoln Institute both cordial and firm. BIRTHPLACE OF JOHN BROWN BURNED.

Every Colored family whether renters or owners should take special pride in seeing that the premises they occupy are kept in a sanitary, neat and pleasing condition. A nice bit of green lawn with a rose bush or potted plant here and there makes any home attractive; and improved not only the appearance of the locality but increases the value of the property. Make your homes attractive. The splendid results that are already accruing from the recent conference of Negro Editors and race leaders with Government officials in Washington a few weeks ago should be a source of gratification to every Negro in America and again amply demonstrates that Emmett Scott is not only a fit Champion of the rights of his people but is the wisest diplomat and most successful figure of the race now in public life. May his shadow never grow less. The Local Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at its meeting in the Second Baptist Church last week, discussed the frequency with which officers of the law counselled violence in the handling of Negroes accused of crime. Because this advice has as its culmination the killing of a man on 18th street the branch voted its condemnation of this method of punishment without due process of law and in this instance, without crime being even charged. The next meeting will be at Ebenezer church the second Thursday in August. SUNDAY ONE MEAL WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD Crackers.

For some time the Sun has been tell- ing the public of this expert Negro Optometrist and that he was really an aristocrat in his line and as further proof of this statement, Dr. Horton permits us to publish the following letter from one of Kansas City's most successful business men, the organizer and promoter of several highly successful business enterprises demon- strating that the white man who makes a specialty of going around alleging to give an expert testing of the eyes of Negroes absolutely failed on this particularly delicate fitting that called for the most careful and expert ability: Kansas City, Mo.. Dear Sir: I am writing you, not so much for the great good you have done me, but because I believe it my duty to my race, and to the general public, to inform them of the skilful and successful way in which you examined my eyes and fitted my glasses. A person's eyes are about the most delicate and most important members of the body and should, when defective be treated by an expert Optometrist. My eyes have been defective from childhood. They have always been weak. When I was a boy, my father had one of the best Army doctors of Fort Leavenworth treat them. Since I have been grown up I have had some of the best Oculists, Opticians and Optometrists in Boston, Chicago and Kansas City treat and examine them. I am very proud to say that your treatment and four fitting of my glasses has been the most successful of any. I can see furtehr and better than ever before with your glasses, in face I am really living in a new world. Hoping that you will be permitted to do for others as you have done for me and wishing you the greatest success in your profession, I remain, Yours very sincerely, Samuel R. Hopkins. When the cut-rate eyeglass peddler and the cheap downtown stores have mussed up your eyesight, then see Dr. I. M. Horton, expert in Optometry and the aristocrat among the eye men, white and black.

I used one bottle of this Liniment and was entirely cured, and I feel safe to it. It is the best I can make and it cannot be beat. I must say Mackey's Liniment will do all it is recommended to do. JOHN SAULSBERRY, 2414 Highland Ave., Bell East 3757. April 20, 1918. This is to certify that I had Rheumatism very badly, limbs swollen tight, pain intense. I secured a bottle of Mackey's Liniment from Miss Lillian Tooley and after trying, overcome to direct in another more immediate relief to in anything else I had tried. MRS. LILLIAN B. SMITH, 2401 Flora Ave. March 21, 1918. Having bought a bottle of Mackey's Liniment of Miss Tooley and tried it for Rheumatism on my son, found it all that was needed. I will recommend it to any one for such troubles or neuralgia. MRS. N. M. HENDERSON, 1523 Virginia. March 19, 1918. My face was swollen from neuralgia almost had the lockjaw, Mackey's Liniment was recurrent andurchtic to Miss Lillian Tooley and had one treatment before bedtime. The next morning I was able to eat with ease. I find it instant relief for any disease where liniment is required. I always expect to keep a bottle on hand. S. W. HENDERSON, 1727 Forest Avenue.

March 2 Lieutenant Tribbet of the United States Army was traveling on transportation, railroad and Pullman, handed him by the United States Government. The train stopped at Chickasha, Okla. Lieutenant Tribbet was pounced upon, arrested and fined. He was without redress. Why? Beneath his uniform, and covering a gentleman, was the skin of a Colored man. The uniform of the country he was bound to die for did not protect him in Chickasha, Okla. The matter was appealed to the War Department, but nothing has yet come of it. A private, in uniform, S. P. Jones, of St. Louis, was traveling under Government orders, on Government transportation, on a Government errand. When he reached Texarkana, the conductor ordered him out of the sleeping car. Again the War Department is appealed to. It is now squarely up to the Government to say whether its uniform and its commands are to be subject to race prejudice. An official letter to the Secretary of War has these words: "The uniform of the United States at such a time as this should protect any citizen from indignity. Can the Government of the United States consent to invidious distinctions between her soldiers, all alike, whether white or black, offering themselves in the service of their country?" We would think so. —Central Christian Advocate. When in Kansas City, Kansas, call on Mrs. Katie Franklin, Proprietress of the BUSY BEE CAFE, for good eats. 430 Minnesota Ave. K. C. K.

The State, through the Commission, exercises its power to fix the rates charged our customers, and also the rate of return which we shall receive on our investment. There is no question of watered stock or inflated values. We have not received the return fixed by the Commission as fair upon the valuation of the Commission's engineers—not even received sufficient income to meet operating expenses during the last five months. In the establishment of light, heat and power rates the "service-at-cost" plan is being followed in a strict manner. The books of this Company are open at all times to any legitimate investigation. As soon as possible the Public Service Commission's engineers will make a complete investigation. The Chamber of Commerce has selected a representative committee to make an inquiry into the question of a reasonable advance in rates. We welcome these investigations and will assist the investigators in every way possible. All we ask is that the same treatment accorded business of every kind be accorded this Company. Only by just and equitable treatment can the capital necessary in the development of any institution be attracted to Kansas City, and we do not believe the people are disposed to treat this Company, now constructing a new $5,000,000 power plant, unfairly.

Stephen B. Wood, commanding, we reach the conclusion it is no longer safe for our policemen to be left alone in a great city, like little Red Riding Hoods to be preyed upon by every wolf in stranger's clothing who prowls our streets. But let us have at the why and wherefore of how Coppers Michnel Burke, Thomas Nolan, Lewis O'Brien and Walter O'Donnell did not get their semimonthly pay checks of $60.94 each. It is necessary to explain that the mode of paying off in the Chicago police department is to give each member an identification slip, which he ber an idea presents at the paymaster's office in case he should master visits the station.

A man who trains prize fighters heard an old friend complaining of his fatness and his inability to reduce even by a strenuous system of exercise.

Negligees Are Trousered and Georgeous Negligees Are Trousered and Georgeous 図 "Nurses Are Needed for Immediate Service." The American Red Cross has issued several flyers and booklets in a campaign to enlist trained nurses for an increasing army and under the heading quoted above has this to say: The enemy thinks he can win before the United States mobilizes all its resources for making war—and among these resources nurses are vital. Ask yourself this heart-searching question: "Is our incomplete mobilization due in part to my holding back?" Trained nurses are needed today—needed in the training camps at home and desperately needed in the hospitals in France, where there are hundreds of wounded daily. The American Red Cross does not pretend that you can serve your country without sacrifice. You will receive less compensation in war work, measured in dollars; but you will receive infinitely larger compensation, measured in self-respect, patriotism and unselfish devotion to your country in the hour of its greatest need. Longfellow said: "Trust no future, howe'er pleasant Let the dead past bury its dead; Act! Act! in the living present, Heart within and God 'oerhead." Nurses, if YOU fail, HE dies! In a small booklet issued by the Red Cross various questions are answered. For the benefit of trained nurses who may wish to enlist some of these questions are repeated here with their answers. Nurses desiring general information, or young women who wish to be trained for nurses should write to the Red Cross addressing: "Department of Nursing, American Red Cross, Washington, D. C." Negligees Are Trou Pajamas, worn instead of night dresses, have proved so sensible and so fetching that they have become an established institution in the realm of lingerie. How we accept them as a matter of course. It was because they proved pretty and fascinating that they were followed by negligees that scorned skirts and revealed in trousers, inviting all sorts of gorgeous oriental silks and furbelows, to come and be at home with them. Japan, China, Persia, Turkey and heaven only knows what other lands, have been ransacked for inspirations. The designers, once having landed an idea, exploit it to suit themselves. In the picture a lovely negligee is shown with flowered satin trousers, or pantalettes, that are gathered in about the ankle. Over an ivory surface, or on any good color background, bouquets of flowers in several colors are printed on silks that make these nether garments things of beauty. Worn over these there are mantels or jackets or draperies of georgette or silk, usually in a plain color. In the picture the over-garment is rose-colored crepe georgette and it fastens with silk cord and tassels in the same color. Bright green, or black and gold made up with straight trousers and short jackets in the fashion of Chinese costumes, we may pass by, but not without casting one lingering, longing look behind. Black satin trousers and jacket, bordered with gold satin and embroidered in gold colored silk make negligees, that one will never tire of. Vivid and adaustic shades of green with touches of brilliant colors in embroidered decorations are wonderful in georgette or in satin. Turquoise and bluebird are good choices in color, and then there is gold color and paler When Should You Enroll? TODAY! Nurses are needed now. Five thousand are wanted between now and June 1, and approximately 25,000 will be needed before the end of the year. What Are the Requirements for the Red Cross Nursing Service? To be eligible for enrollment a nurse must be a graduate of a recognized school for nurses, giving at least two years' course of training in a general hospital. In states where registration is provided for by law an applicant, to be eligible for enrollment, must be registered. She must be at least twenty-one years of age. What are the Physical Standards? During the period of the war a physical examination certificate should be filed with other application papers at the time of enrollment. Where do Red Cross Nurses Serve? Their service may be in this country or abroad. Service abroad is not guaranteed. What is the Length of Service? Red Cross nurses appointed for service in the military establishment during war are expected to remain as long as the emergency lasts, unless the need of their services ceases to exist. They may, however, be relieved from duty at any time in case of misconduct, or should their services prove unsatisfactory. The same ruling concerning length of service and resignation applies also to nurses serving elsewhere with the Red Cross. Must Nurses Pay Traveling Expenses? Traveling expenses are paid for nurses traveling under orders from the war and navy departments or the American Red Cross. ered and Georgeous yellowts that lighten up a room like sunlight. These new negligees invite us to explore the world of color and to become as brilliant as tropical birds. Julie Bottomly Wear White Shoes. Release shoe leather for service by wearing white shoes! That's the latest patriotic slogan of fashion and bids fair to rival the demand that we substitute silk and calico for wool. White buckskin, canvas and duck and white washable kid for evening are the slippers and shoes recommended for fashion patriots. White shoes are essential to smartness for completing the summer costume of organdie and light silks. For cool evening smart white gaiters are made to accompany white slippers. One of the Smart New Veils. One of the Smart New Vens. It was a rather wide veil of a pretty, silky hexagonal mesh, black, and it was being draped around a small flower-wreathed turban. The interesting thing about it was the border; that was composed of silvery gray coin spots—the size of a 5-cent piece—a single row on the long edge of the veil, and a double row across each end. It was a simple decoration, but, as the skillful milliner caught up the folds of the veil and fastened them at the back, it hung in graceful drapery. Collar and Cuffs of Scarlet. A blouse of white silk poplin has tiny collar and cuffs of scarlet, from which flare plaited ruffles of white. A satin blouse has extra piece at front in simulated button effect, and a touch of blue embrodery. THEIR FINAL REST TOGETHER Soldier's Intensely Pathetic Description of the Burial of Youthful Scottish Officer With His Men. I stood one night on a certain hill that commands the firing line in an almost soundless panorama. Beside me was an officer of the Second Canadian division, who had just come out. There that night, by its white trail of iridescent light, we could trace the course of the firing line for many miles through France and Flanders. Just to our left the line of light jutted far out, like a lone cape into the sea. "What is that jutting-out place?" my friend inquired. "That," I answered, "is the Ypres salient, the Bloody Angle of the British line." To mention the name of Ypres is to have one's memory awakened with a veritable kaleidoscope of pictures. That trail of light that jutted out into the night looked like a cape, and an iron cape it has been through months and years of war. But the holding of that cape has been at an awful cost, and there was not an inch along that trailing line of light that had not cost its trailing line of blood. Just after the first gas attack in April, 1915, the whole countryside was in a panic. The roads were filled with civilians in alarm, fleeing down country, and with limbers and marching troops hastening up. I was passing through the town of Vlamerthigne, which is situated two miles beyond Ypres. In a field at the side of the road I saw a funeral party. It consisted of several pioneers, serving as grave diggers, a gray-headed Scottish major, and a corporal's guard to act as firing party. I learned that this inconspicuous group were burying the last original officer of a battalion of the Cameron Highlanders. The dead officer was a young subaltern, and the gray-haired old major was his father, who had come from another regiment to attend the funeral of his son. So, over in a great deep trench, where a number of the rank and file of the fallen Camerons were already laid, the body of their dead subaltern was placed. As I saw the officer and his men of the bonnie Highland regiment thus laid to rest together, I thought of the requiem of Saul and Jonathan; "They were beautiful In their lives, and in their deaths they were not divided."—Capt. Arthur Hunt Chute, in the North American Review. Repair Ship Mysterious The manufacture of a large part of machinery to replace anything broken is almost impossible in the limited space of the battleship's machine shops. But wondrous feats are performed in the repair ships that accompany fleets on stations remote from dock facilities, states a British war correspondent. The repair ship is a huge floating smithy and machine shop packed with everything that the wilt of man can concentrate into the space for treating wounded battleships. These ships employ some of the best artificers from our naval dockyards and are scattered in every quarter in which the British fleet is stationed remote from dock facilities. The Boche has nothing like them and it has been stated that no inquisitive Boche has ever been allowed to intrude his nose aboard one to investigate its mysteries and take the information to his employers of how the strange feats performed by the repair ship are effected. The repair ship is the abode of secrets. Rides Well at Ninety-five. Jockeys, no matter what their age, are generally referred to by those not closely in touch with racing as "the boy on So-and-So," but a stable "lad" still going well at ninety-five is certainly hard to beat. There is one as shown by the following clipping from the London Sportsman of recent date: "One of the brightest and most alert of the 'lads' riding horses around the paddock at Windsor prior to their races was old Faulkner, the grandfather of the steeplechase jockey of that name. He is ninety-five years old. His memory is of the best and so is his hearing. He has been connected with horses all his life and many a tale of the turf he can tell." Sailor Invents Fire Escape One of the boys aboard our navy's fleet has invented a fire escape which is similar to the rope ladders used aboard ships. His principal object was to provide a collapsible fire escape which could be compactly and conveniently arranged at the window of a dwelling. It consists of a container hinged to the sill in such a manner that by opening the window and folding the container on its hinge the metal ladder may be unfolded and dropped. When this operation is gone through, a means is automatically provided whereby the ladder is held at a distance from the walls of the building. The advantage of such precaution is obvious.

The boy rang the bell in the downstairs hall, but, receiving no answer, mounted the steps to the apartment in question. Still no answer.

"Why, you had better take that letter down to Mr. So-and-So's office," sald the woman. "Yes, mam," said the boy, and departed. When he came to the row of mail boxes, acted.

"You know," she continued, "that apartment is exactly like mine. What is he going to charge you for it?" "Slxty dollars," said one of the two ladies. "I pay $50 for mine," said the all-revealing Mrs. Smith. Pet Polly Went to Gladden More Lonesome Person A MAN in search of congenial companionship went to a bird store to buy a parrot that could talk. There were no conversationists in stock, so he tacked off in another direction for a specially suggested Polly, but, disappointed, returned to first base. The The parrot responded with the same joyful spontaneousness. "Hello, colonel!" That settled the deal. And for a long time there lived in this town a lonesome man person and a knowing parrot who called out to each other at every coming and going: It wasn't much, of course, but it was some enough to have learned that every little count with the social gifts of his two-worded friend found a lonesomer person than himself, who that could talk. So, after a battle that we Persians look silly, he turned the bird over to town there is a lonesome old woman who call "Hello, Polly!" It wasn't much, of course, but it was something. And the colonel was old enough to have learned that every little counts. And he was entirely satisfied with the social gifts of his two-worded friend until just a little while ago he found a lonesome person than himself, who was blind and wanted a parrot that could talk. So, after a battle that would have made the Medes and Persians look silly, he turned the bird over to a new owner—and now in this town there is a lonesome old woman who calls out to her companion: NANNIE, WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YA HAD $100,000 1-1-1- WOULD NEVER - NEVER GET MARRIED, AND I WOULD — WRITE POETRY — www.nannie.com day.

The owner of the store, always ready to please a customer, considered the case apart from its financial aspect: "Come back later, colonel, and I'll see if I can't find a talker for you."

Robert Peters, attorney at law, with a newspaper in one hand, a pen in the other, sat before his office desk, a very picture of perplexity. "Thunder" he finally exploded, dashed the pen onto the desk, and swerved around to his startled stenographer. "What is the proper thing to write to an engaged girl?" "It all depends on how well you know her." "Humph! If I tell you all about it, will you help me with this matter of etiquette?" "Agreed." And Mary Borden listened. "Well, Ruth Hampton and I grew up together. She was a good pal and everybody's friend; she appealed to me because she had intellect and good nature. I always have liked girls who can really 'do' something." "Then after both mother and dad were—gone, Ruth and her mother were like sister and mother to me. So when I took up law, it was with Ruth that I studied—and I do believe she could have passed the bar exams when I did, had she been so minded. There was never anything more than sincere friendship between us, so I have had no ties to draw me back to Morton during these busy years here in New York—it has been nearly three." He hesitated, but Mary Borden's twenty years in the business world had molded her sympathetic nature into a character by which harried men were ever inspired to confidence. "But," he continued, "although I was fast forgetting Ruth, she was vividly brought to mind this morning. While reading my newspaper I chanced on a picture of her, and the announcement of her engagement. The picture doesn't look like the Ruth I used to know, but time, I suppose, does effect changes. Now, Miss Borden, the really funny part of my tale is this: I feel actually angry that Ruth has become engaged, and I've concluded that I'm what you might call, well—er—jealous! And thanks, awfully, but I've just decided that I'll not write her at all—she didn't send me a personal announcement." "But is it reasonable to expect that of her? Do you write to her? Does she know where you are?" Peters flushed. "Well," he grinned, "you've got me in a corner. I believe it has been some eight or ten months since I last wrote." "May I see that paper, please?" "Certainly." Then Miss Borden busled herself some minutes in the reading of the article in question. She started to read it again. At a sudden exclamation from her Robert looked at her inquiringly. "Where did you say you used to live?" "Morton, Ky." "But, look, this notice reads, 'Miss Ruth Hampton of Berkeley, Cal,' so it can't be your Ruth!" Robert snatched the paper eagerly from her and for a long time studied the cut. "No," he said at length, "there can't possibly be two Ruth Hamptons who look sufficiently alike to be sisters. "There has been time enough for them to have traveled clear around the world, for all my knowledge of Ruth and her mother; so without a doubt the simple truth is that they have gone to California to live." He sat a while in troubled silence, and at last tried to fix his attention on some briefs. It was useless. His mind wandered continually; and he asked himself over and over "Why do I care, why do I care?" There could be but one answer! At noon he lunched absent-mindedly. Before returning he visited a Western Union office and sent a telegram to the postmaster of Morton. Of course the message was an inquiry regarding Ruth. But his conclusions of the morning were confirmed by the answering wire, sent collect: "Ruth Hampton and mother left" Morton last October. Whereabouts unknown." And it was now April! After some time spent in gloomy pensiveness he roused himself. Robert Peters was not backboneless and given to mooning. Frequently, to be sure, he thought and wondered about Ruth; but "the world is full of a number of things"—and wise men keep busy. Robert was wise, hence oblivious, and not troubled by sleepless nights. Clean-minded, red-blooded, energetic, Robert grew daily more alive to his country's needs. So by June he had enlisted, since, so he said, "the law schools are yearly turning out hundreds of young men as brilliant and as capable as I"—further arguments were lengthy, superfluous. A few days before he was to leave for camp he had his last case, a short case, but rather difficult. There had been trouble getting a lawyer for the defense, so Robert did not know who was to play opposite him, who had the prosecution. The trial lasted three days. The morning of the second day Miss Ruth Hampton, counsel for the defense, received a fragment bouquet and a note asking if Mr. Robert Peters might call that evening. Of course, for obvious reasons overlooked in Mr. Peters' haste, he "might not." The morning of the third day history was repeated. That night he called.

"B BUILD ships while the sun shines! Build ships, rain or shine; in fact, build them night and day to make certain of beating the enemy." Such is the spirit that has gripped American shipyards, whether working in wood, steel or cement, and it looks as if we should, indeed, have 3,000,000 tons of freighters afloat before the end of the year. A few weeks ago the nation was thrilled when news came from the Pacific coast that a steel cargo carrier of 8,800 tons was put overboard 55 working days after the laying of her keel and was delivered to the Emergency Fleet corporation ready for service 12 days later. But the record thus set by the steamship West Lianga, built at Seattle by the Skinner & Eddy company was fated to survive only a short while. On April 8 the keel of the collier Tuckahoe was laid at the yard of the New York Shipbuilding company at Camden, N. J. Twenty-seven days afterward, on May 5, the ship was launched 85 per cent toward total completion, and on May 15 she was in all respects fit to be turned over to the government authorities. Her contract did not call for her delivery until the middle of June. The West Lianga, it should be borne in mind, is a ship of 8,800 tons dead weight capacity, while the Tuckahoe is of 5,500 tons, and this difference brings the two achievements much closer to equality than is commonly recognized. For instance, the Skinner & Eddy steamship probably has in her getup substantially 800,000 rivets, while the collier built on the Delaware called for substantially 500,000 rivets. When all is said and done the rate of progress of a ship under construction is pretty accurately judged by the number of rivets driven because the ultimate factor is the riveting gang, and muscular effort and human endurance on the part of these men determine the speed of assembling. The driving of rivets cannot be dodged or imperfectly done if the craft is to be put together properly, and while exceptional records have been made of late in rivet driving these performances are in the main isolated and by no means an index of everyday and universal occurrence. Some of the especially expert gangs have driven anywhere from 1,500 to over 7,000 rivets in a day's work, but the majority of them do not average more than 400 rivets during a regular shift. How then was it possible to put the Tuckahoe together between April 8 and May 5? On April 8 the keel of the collier Tuckahoe was laid at the yard of the New York Shipbuilding company at Camden, N. J.

How then was it possible to put the Tuckahoe together between April 8 and May 5? The New York Shipbuilding corporation about 19 years ago initiated the standardized ship with the idea of producing economically and rapidly numerous vessels of identical form and size. Just before the Tuckahoe was taken in hand, so it is said, a sister ship was constructed and simultaneously the materials for the Tuckahoe were prepared and accumulated so that they would be all ready for what might be termed a record-making undertaking.

With the sister crackling within reminded him of something. When Ruth and her mother entered to greet him they found him seated stiffly, with a dingy, edge-worn newspaper across his knees. Their greetings were cordial, but Peters' embarrassment increased; his tongue was about as active as the limbs of an athlete who has been bed-ridden for some weeks. Mrs. Hampton, being of the same cloth as all tactful mothers, presently withdrew. "Bob," Ruth demanded, "what on earth is that newspaper that you have been clutching so madly?" He handed it to her silently, the cut and article folded on ton. She glanced it hurriedly through and returned it. If Bob had looked he might have noticed a hope-raising twinkle in her hazel eyes; but being perverse and foolish, he was engaged in that universal occupation resorted to in times of stress; tracing the pattern in the carpet! His fingers closed absently over the proffered paper. "Well?" from Ruth. "Er-oh, yes—er-ddoesn't that mean y-you?" he finally exploded. "Me? What, the Ruth Hampton mentioned in that notice? And if I were?" "Then you are. I knew it! When are you to be married?" "Married?" she echoed. "Robert, use reason. Do you suppose my fiance would allow me to run off to New York to dabble in law?" "I beg your pardon, Ruth. I hate to ask, but is it—er—" "A broken engagement?" she supplied. "No. Never been engaged in my life. But listen; I'll not tease you any more. The Ruth of Berkeley is my own cousin—my father's twin brother's daughter. You see, that accounts for our extraordinary likeness to each other. This brother ran away when he was eighteen, to the West evidently, but was never heard from; so I never knew I had such a relative until this Ruth's engagement was announced. Being curious, I wrote for information." "But her name?" "Father's mother's name was Ruth, and both boys named their only child for her. Hence the coincidence." "I don't like coincidences. Don't tell me it was one that made you active in this murder case!" "It wasn't. I passed the bar exams over a year ago; you surely aren't surprised at that! Last October I took an office in Syracuse." “Ah, that's why—” “Sh-h-h! And when I read about this case and the difficulty in getting a lawyer to defend the girl I was inclined to do it myself. What decided me was your being in it. I thought it would be rather much of a surprise, you neglectful boy!” Well, even legally-inclined war brides like to be married in June. LAKE HAS APPROPRIATE NAME Body of Water in Eastern Turkestan Resembles a Pendulum in Its Regular Swing. Lake Lop-nor, the wandering lake of the desert of Tayla-makan, in eastern Turkestan, is the termination of the River Tarkin. Like a pendulum, the lake has swung from the south to the north of the desert, and back again, since the memory of man. The wanderings of the lake are a tradition handed down from father to son for centuries. The natives of the lake shore have always followed the waters. At present Lop-nor is in the southern part of the desert; a shallow reedy body of water hardly deserving the name of lake. Murky and unpleasant, it furnishes a livelihood to the inhabitants of its banks, the majority of whom are fishermen. In their frail shallow boats they cut through the reeds, fishing and hunting for water fowl along the banks. In some places the reeds are too thick to admit the passage of the boat; in such cases, however, it is possible to walk over the water on rafts of dried and rotting stems. The chief native delicacy is the eggs of the reed-birds. Lake Lop-nor is one of the hottest places on the map in the summer and the coldest in the winter. During the winter months the lake is entirely frozen over, the temperature diving to 20 degrees below zero. In the summer the combination of a temperature of 106 degrees and the innumerable files and mosquitoes which swarm on the banks make Lop-nor anything but a summer resort. The explanation of the lake's wanderings lies in the fact that Tarin carries every year quantities of silt to the lake bed, which slowly rises. In time, a hundred years or so, the river must seek a new outlet, and the pendulum swings to the north or south of the desert, as the case may be. A Hard Loser. "Ignorance, sheer ignorance," said a government official, discussing an attack by a war expert. "This armchair critic," he went on, "is as ignorant as the lady who got up at the S. P. C. A. meeting and said: 'Can't something be done, dear friends—oh, can't something be done—to prevent horses from being scratched? The horse is man's noblest friend, and yet we read about its being scratched almost every day in the papers. The process must be very painful. 'Scratching a horse! Oh, dear friends, I'm sure it is a cruel and painful thing to do, for my husband attended the races last Saturday, and all Saturday night in his sleep he groomed and moaned and went on awfully about a horse that had been scratched. If you could have heard him, dear friends! His grief would have melted a heart of stone.'" THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1918. TURNING OUT SHIPS IN RECORD TIME UILD ships while the sun shines! Build ships, rain or shine; in fact, build them night and day to make certain of beating the enemy." Such is the spirit that his gripped American shipwards, whether working in Standardized Plans and Pneumatic Tools Chief Aids in Rushing Vessels to Completion ship out of the way and with a force of carefully chosen workmen, the keel of the collier was laid and assembling rushed. The men were keen to make good and they labored with unflagging zeal. Not only that, but they worked in three shifts and speeded up the building continuously night and day. Therefore they were able at the end of 27 days to put the craft overboard. This makes it plain why in ordinary times three or four months were required to advance a ship far enough to warrant launching and why it took two or three months to install her engines and boilers and to get her otherwise outfitted and finished for active service. In the case of the Tuckahoe her builders found it possible to accumulate all of the materials needed and once she was started to forge ahead to her assembling without a hitch. But even though the pace set by the West Lianga and the Tuckahoe cannot be maintained generally by old-line shipbuilding plants, still most of these are in a position today to produce faster than heretofore because of mechanical aids now at their disposal. And what was done at Camden in turning out the Tuckahoe is doubly interesting because the practice there may be likened in a measure to what is now termed the fabricated ship. The fabricated ship was offered as a solution of a very vexations situation that had a number of angles. First, for ship construction it was needful to draw upon steel workers and allied labor who were quite unfamiliar with shipbuilding. Next, it was essential that steel plants that were capable of producing the materials for bridges, the framework of great office buildings and the steel parts of other land structures should be made available and their tonnage utilized in the construction of the manifold parts for oceangoing cargo carriers. Finally, convenient points on deep water had to be chosen for the assembling of these elements, which were manufactured far and wide and delivered at the places of building in a more or less advanced stage of fabrication. The fabricated ship is not, strictly speaking, a type of vessel, but rather a standardized order or construction which depends primarily upon a measure of advanced preparatory work done at plants remote from the shipyard and done so well and accurately that similar parts are identical and can be put in any one of a group of type hulls of corresponding dimensions. Interchangeability is the paramount requirement. The three distinctive fabricating yards on the Atlantic seaboard are the Newark bay plant of the Submarine Boat corporation, the Hog island plant of the American International corporation, and the yard of the Merchants Shipbuilding corporation at Bristol, Pa. Because of the way in which these establishments are laid out and because they receive their materials ninety-odd per cent ready for erection and assembling and therefore need proportionately fewer men on the spot per ship than otherwise would be required, it is practicable for them to handle at one time an unusually large number of vessels. While the materials are manufactured at some score of different steel mills they are so true to dimensions, thanks to drawings of exceptional accuracy and fullness of detail and patterns that are exact in every particular, that the independent concerns can be relied upon to furnish just what is wanted. Chairman Hurley of the Emergency Fleet corporation has told us that we should be able to turn out annually quite 2,300,000 tons of wooden craft. This means not only exceptional industry on our part, but it represents the surmounting of seemingly mountainous obstacles. But his confidence is so far justified in the scores of our old and new timber plants that he has recently ordered approximately 200 additional wooden freighters each of 4,700 tons deadweight capacity. A year ago we had in this country only a handful of qualified shipwrights, and the yards engaged in the building of wooden vessels were few and far between, of modest equipment and anything but up to date compared with their steel competitors. How, then, has it been possible to undertake so imposing a program and to promise deliveries within periods unprecedentedly brief? The story is one to make every American feel proud, for it is a record of Yankee ingenuity and native adaptability at their best. It was plain to the men concerned in directing the Emergency Fleet corporation that it would be quite out of the question to recruit shipwrights or to train new men in the art within the time available. The shipwright in his finished form is the evolution of long years of practical application, and this means an acquired cunning in the use of a very few hand tools.

The shipwright in his finished form is the evolution of long years of practical application, and this means an acquired cunning in the use of a very few hand tools. Just the same we are launching timber vessels after very short building periods, and these undeniable results are the consequence of skillfully directed efforts following new lines. The Emergency Fleet corporation first set about recruiting labor from a wide range of wood working trades, and they showed how these men could be employed, by reason of already existing mechanical aids and others developing, to do virtually what had previously been done only by the expert ship carpenter. We are turning out by the new method oceangoing timber cargo carriers to which the underwriters do not hesitate to give A1 rating. This achievement is the outcome of a studied effort to cut out lost motion all the way from the forest to the building plant and thence upon the finished product. Where the shipwright used to hew and cut and patiently carve the various curiously formed structural units out of relatively raw material, his less expert brothers, the house carpenter, the joiner, the wooden bridge builder and the like now accomplish astonishing things through the agency of the sawmill. The sawmill in fact represents today to the wooden ship what the steel mill stands for in the case of the fabricated freighter. By means of planers that can be set at any angle and saws that will operate when tilted to different degrees, it is possible for the present day substitutes of the master wood worker, the shipwright, to shape and to bevel pieces of all sizes and thicknesses and, besides, to do this in a few minutes, where the ship carpenter re- By means of planers that can be set at any angle and saws that will operate when tilted to different degrees, it is possible for the present day substitutes of the master wood worker, the shipwright, to shape and to bevel pieces of all sizes and thicknesses and, besides, to do this in a few minutes, where the ship carpenter required probably as many hours. The pneumatic drill commonly used in structural steel work has been modified so that it will answer for the boring of holes in the timbers of a wooden ship; pneumatic hammers, adaptations of steel riveters, are driving tholts, treenails, plugs, etc., that bind a timber craft together; and portable planers and kindred air or electrically operated tools finish off surfaces and smooth joints so that the adze and the other tools of the shipwright are wellnigh dispensed with. Further, these portable power-driven aids are doing their work at a speed utterly unattainable by the traditional ship carpenter and his fellows. As yet the concrete ship is too much of a novelty for predictions to be made as to the ultimate maximum of practicable tonnage, nor are we yet sure that the big concrete freighter of 4,000 tons and more is going to prove enduring and economical. However, concrete craft of more modest proportions have already established their durability, their technical correctness and the feasibility of constructing them rapidly. The Emergency Fleet corporation, bearing these facts in mind, is going right ahead to supplement our mercantile squadrons by substantially encouraging the building of some scores of freighters and other granolittle (By REV.

SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-Why and how to pray and the results. Prayer ought to be a matter of great concern to every believer (Psalms 145: 18). Prayer is a matter but little understood by Christians; in fact, only as divine aid is given can we really pray. The range of prayer is from the depths of the soul to the very thoughts of God. There was something about the praying of Jesus that so impressed the disciples that they requested him to teach them to pray (Luke 11:1). We nowhere read of them asking him to teach them how to preach. Praying is more important than preaching. No one is fit to teach or preach who does not know how to pray. May each one enroll at once in the school of prayer with Christ as our teacher. He is a most willing and capable teacher. In response to the disciples' request he outlines the following principles of prayer: I. The Right Relationship of the One Praying (Luke 11:2). In order to pray to God, the suppliant must be a child of God. God is a father; his gifts and blessings are for his children. This relationship can only be entered into regeneration. Not all men have a right to say, "Our Father" when addressing God. Only those who are children of God by faith in Jesus Christ can so address him. It is not only professing to be children but living like God's children. Children have rights and privileges which are denied to others. 2. Fraternal—"Our Father." God has more than one child. His children are bound up together in nature and interests. Even in our secret prayer we should address him as Our Father, which is a recognition of the interests of others, alongside of ours. 11. The Right Attitude in Prayer (Luke 11:2). 1. Reverent adoration. As children we have certain privileges, and yet holy reverence becomes us. We should hallow his name; we should adore him as the eternal God. 2. Loyalty. When praying to God we should come with the spirit of loyalty which cries out "Thy kingdom come." 3. Submission—"Thy will be done." We should have no will of our own regarding the rule of God. We should let him direct us in all things. III. The Right Spirit (Luke 11:3-8) 1. Dependent Faith—"Give us our daily bread" (v. 3). We should realize that not only what we have, but life itself is ours to enjoy because of him, and that he is able to do for us exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. 2. Penitence and Love—"Forgive us our debts" (v. 9). We should come to him realizing that we have sinned, and cry unto him for forgiveness. Our hearts should be so filled with love for others that we will forgive those who sinned against us as God is willing to forgive us. 3. Holiness and Caution—"Lead us not into temptation" (v. 4). Because we are God's children and realizing the depravity of our natures, and the consequent tendency to practice that which displeases him, we should shrink from that which, if indulged in, would dishonor him. 4. Intercessory (vv. 5, 6). The man who asked for bread did not ask for himself, but for a friend, Prayer which pleases God is unselfish in its requests. 5. Perseverance (vv. 7, 8). Prayer which pleases God and gets results is importunate, perseveres until the object is achieved. IV. Encouragement to Pray (Luke 11:9-12). 1. God's promise (vv. 9, 10). True prayer cannot fall of an answer, because God definitely promises that every one that asketh receiveth, he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 2. The example of an earthly father (vv. 11-13). No father will give a stone to his son who asketh for bread, or a serpent instead of a fish, nor a scorpion instead of an egg. God is infinitely more willing to answer the prayers of his children than earthly parents are to give good gifts to their children. V. The True Goal of All Prayer (Luke 11:13). God's gift is himself in the person of his Holy Spirit. All those who practice the principles which Jesus taught in this model prayer shall be blessed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, God's best gift to man. M.

There was a mortgage debt on the property of $1,326.00—one note of $826.00 due July 1, 1918, and one note of $500.00 due July 1, 1919. The officials decided to put the whole Church under the whole task without clubs or "tribes," male or female, and make a financial drive to "Go Over the Top" July 1, 1918. The result was $1,507.81 raised in actual cash and on July 10 the mortgage and all indebtedness against the property was paid in full. On Sunday the Church Building was dedicated with an appropriate and impressive program, C. E. Craggett of Topeka, Kan., preached the sermon. It was a masterpiece—clean cut and well delivered. Although all indebtedness had been paid in full, more than $100.00 was raised at the dedication. One mother took membership with the church. The mortgage was burned in effigy by three Bible School girls in the presence of representatives of four generations on the platform while the congregation sang "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." The night program consisted of several short addresses and words of gladness by some of the members. Mr. T. B. Watkins madehte principal address before the dressing of the "service flag." Christian and American patriotism has an uncompromising friend in Mr. Watkins. The entire membership and friends were invited to the Church Monday night by the young men of the Church where they were bountifully served. It was a great social meeting where all were happy and rejoiced and plans for future work was discussed. Being made free from "fussing about money" the pastor promises special sermons next Sunday.
