Eugen PRESIDENT WILSON COLORED EDITORS Warmly Commends "Fine Iracy" Exhibited in Fran sideration of War Issue Example for all Patri Special to The Kansas City Sun. Washington, D. C., August 7.—President Wilson is greatly pleased with the conference of Colored Editors and other leaders of thought and opinion among the colored citizens of the country, held a short time ago in this city. The report of the conference has been published far and wide and the proceedings have attracted a larger measure of attention than the report of any similar gathering of colored men since emancipation. In a recent letter, the Chief Executive of the Nation plainly indicates his deep interest and genuine satisfaction with the meeting and its successful outcome, as well as with the practical results that have accrued from the frank and unhampered interchange of views as to how the 12,000,000 Negroes of the country might most effectively aid America to win this righteous war for freedom and world-wide democracy. The President feels that the problems considered by the conference were "grave and weighty," and he is cheered by the thought that the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the broad spirit of patriotism which dominated the conferences in their calm, dignified and high-purposed deliberations. In no uncertain terms, the Presi- denete warmly commends the colored representatives of the press for their timely emphasis of national unity on the vital issues involved in the war and applauds the inspiring example set by them for all Americans who DR. HOWARD M. SMITH. The handsome and courteous Superintendent of the Jackson County Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes, who by his gracious manner of making friends and his skillful generalship rolled up a flattering vote among the Negro Democrats for Judge Miles Bulger. Dr. Smith has proven himself a safe and sane leader and without any swash buckling or swaggering braggadocio has won himself a place as a leader of the Negro Democracy of Missouri. have at heart the welfare of the nation in its present crisis. The full text of the President's letter to the Chairman of the Conference follows: President's Letter on Spirit of the Dear Mr. Scott: Your letter of June 26th has been called to my attention, and I am both interested and pleased with the report it gives of the meeting held in Washington by leaders of thought and opinion among the Negro citizens of the country. The problems considered by the conference of special importance to the people whom they represent, are grave and weighty, and the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the frank and calf consideration given to these matters. The Kansas City Sun In the meantime, it is cheering to see that the fine philosophy of democracy, which is at this time the inspiration of the great effort of our country, was felt and expressed by these conferences as the dominating thought which ought to control all Americans in the present crisis. Cordially yours, WOODROW WILSON. To Mr. Emmett J. Scott, This ungrudging endorsement of the Colored Editors' conference and sincere tribute to the loyalty of the colored citizens to the cause held dearest to all Americans will hearten the Negro people all over the land. The President's ringing utterance in denunciation of mob violence, the acceptance of colored nurses for war service, and a score of advantageoeus plans for the induction of the Negro soldiers in technical schools and training camps for officers, followed closely by this exceedingly cordial letter of the President, give ground for belief that the Negro-American is during these days of national emergency and need, coming to be recognized more and more by the general Government as a factor of importance in the winning of the war. NURSES' AID SCHOOL OPENS AUGUST 15. With our country deeply involved in this great world's crisis, it is so necessary and befitting that every call for service of any kind be answered immediately and willingly, no sacrifice or task is too great and should be made at once by every true American. The American Red Cross Association has issued a call for the immediate registration for service of all Colored graduate nurses, but the number needed is far greater than the registration. Another call has been issued for women between the ages of 18 and 35 years. These women are to be trained in first aid work. Why should not the Colored women of the country be given the opportunity to show their patriotism and to serve with their husbands and brothers in the struggle for democracy? The Hospital and Health Board of Kansas City has generously opened the doors of the hospital for a course of free training to the Colored women of the country to fit themselves for service in first aid work. We can accommodate 1,000 members. Registration days August 12, 13 and 14 at the City Hospital from 9:00 to 3:00. School qualifies applicants for foreign and home service. Certificates of graduation given on completion of course. Tuition free. Dr. William J. Thompkins, Surgeon-in-Chief. A FUND TO STOP LYNCHING. Texas Paper Sets Aside $100,000 for Conviction of Mob Members. San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 3. — Announcement will be made tomorrow by publishers of the San Antonio Express of the establishment of a fund totaling $100,000 to be maintained for five years, for the purpose of combating and punishing lynching and mob violence within the bounds of continental United States. In announcing the fund, it is stated that a reward of $100 will be paid to each person directly responsible for arrest and subsequent conviction of any person or persons instrumental in arousing a mob to commit lynching or participating in the lynching itself when the victim is white. A reward of $1,000 is provided under similar conditions when the victim of the lynching is a negro. The offer applies both to officers of the law and private citizens of any state. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1918. M. H. No political battle in recent years has been waged with such intensity or bitterness as was the battle for the nomination of the Presiding Judge of the Jackson County Court which was won in commanding style by the present incumbent, the ablest as well as the gambest American that has ever filled that office in this town and the Sun rejoices with those multiplied thousands of others of the common people who detest snobbishness and packing house aristocracy in all forms but who believe that even in its minutest details this should be a government "of the people, for the people and by the people." And we sincerely believe that not less than 5,000 Negro voters in Jackson County will help roll up the wonderful majority which Judge Bulger will receive in the coming election. Possessing the homely wit and broad humanity of Abraham Lincoln, the dogged determination and intrepid courage of Theodore Roosevelt and the wise and skillful diplomacy of Woodrow Wilson, Miles Bulger is yet destined to be Kansas City's foremost representative. All honor to Judge Miles Bulger for the friends who love him and the enemies who hate him. DR. BAILER TO DETROIT The Sun regrets to announce that Dr. L. E. Bailer, one of Kansas City's foremost physicians for the past ten years, is leaving this city for Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Bailer's life in Kansas City has been particularly active. He has been in the forefront of all civic movements during his busy years of practice here among his people. He has been a member of the staffs of the Kansas City General Hospital and Wheatley-Provident Hospital and a regular instructor in the nurse training schools of both institutions. He was one of the builders of the 100,000 dollar Y. M. C. A. building, having been a captain in the campaign for funds and later a member of the committeee of managers. He was also a member of the executive committee of the Kansas City Civic League, being chairman of the Public Health and Housing Committee. He was president of the Kansas City Medical Society in 1916 when it entertained the National Medical Association. He was, at that time, elected assistant secretary of the National Medical Association in recognition of excellent No political battle in recent years nomination of the Presiding Judge of incumbent, the ablest as well as the g rejoices with those multiplied thousand aristocracy in all forms but who believe for the people and by the people." A County will help roll up the wonderful ing the homely wit and broad human Theodore Roosevelt and the wise and Kansas City's foremost representative enemies who hate him. national organization in Kansas City. Dr. Bailler is a college graduate from the University of Kansas, and a medical graduate from Northwestern University, at Chicago. Seven years ago when Kansas City instituted civil service in all municipal departments, Dr. Bailler was high man on the examination list for appointments in th Health Department. He was appointed physician-in-charge of the medical service of Kansas City's penal institutions. Later, when the Health Department discontinued this service, he was made visiting physician, a capacity in which he served with the full confidence of the department for several years. Dr. Bailler was the first physician of Kansas City to enter upon specialty practice two years ago when, after three years of service at Bell Memorial Hospital he became a specialist in Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. For this reason in particular his many patients who have enjoyed the advantages of his special training in this branch of medicine will lament his removal to Detroit. Dr. Bailler has been one of Kansas --- City's most substantial citizens as a tax-payer and owner of valuable real estate on Woodland Avenue, and is his husband of a charming wife and father of two fine sons. The Sun joins Dr. Bailer's host of patients and friends in wishing him God-speed and congratulates Detroit upon its acquisition. MASONIC BODIES HOLD SESSIONS The Grand Master, Wardens and Executive officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Missouri and the Grand High Priest and officers of the Royal Arch Chapter held brief sessions in this city Thursday and Friday to pass on all claims, audit the books of the various departments and transact such other business as required immediate attention.

CUT OUT THE TERM "NIGGER' While The Observer protests against the appellations employed by other races in referring to our race, it finds that it is necessary to again ask our people to abolish such approbrious names as "nigger." When other races call us "coons," "darkies," "bucks," "niggers," "shines," "boys," "uncles," "aunties," "Johns," 'Bills,' "Mauds," "Polly-anns," etc., we become indignant, and rightly so, too. But let us not be inconsistent on the other hand and continue to use the same terms in speaking to or of each other that we criticize others for employing when referring to our race. We are not "niggers," and strenuously object to any man, woman or child calling us that approbrious name or any of its ilk. Now since we are demanding that other men regard and treat us as American citizens and not as cattle or chattel, let us cut out calling each other "nigger." The Observer understands that many of us commit such an unpardonable act without giving it serious or bitterness as was the battle for the won in commanding style by the present that office in this town and the Sun to detest snobbishness and packing house should be a government "of the people, less than 5,000 Negro voters in Jackson receive in the coming election. Possess-determination and intrepid courage of 1, Miles Bulger is yet destined to be for the friends who love him and the thought, either before or after such utterances, but it smacks too much of slavery and its attendant evils and ills to be countenanced in the light of this twentieth century, when all the manners and customs of the dark ages are being discarded and millions of men are spilling their life's blood now in France for eradicating those that remain. The term, "nigger," is an unpleasant relic of the period of involuntary servitude and as long as our enemies can keep us calling each other "nigger," just so long will they (our enemies) continue to call us such names. The term sounds bad, is bad and is frowned upon all first class men and women of both races. Therefore, please cut it out! Finally, brethren and sisters. The Observer counsels and advises that you cease to call each other "nigger." —Houston Observer. TAKE NOTICE. K. C.

EUGENE EDWARD VAUGHN MEETS DEATH BY DROWING Both Kansas Citys were inexpressibly shocked when the news spread with lightning rapidity that Eugene Edward Vaughan, 26 years of age, Advertising Manager of the Kansas City Sun and dealer in real estate, had been drowned at Bonner Springs, Kans., where he was in camp with the detachment of Boy Scouts of which he was a Scout Master. He had been swimming with the boys and coming to a deep and dangerous place in the stream had gone in to ascertain whether it was safe when he was apparently seized with the cramps and instantly went to the bottom before aid could come to his assistance. After three hours search the body was recovered, and though pulmotors were applied all efforts to restore life were in vain. Mr. Vaughan was an exemplary young man who exceedingly high in this community as attested by the fact that hundreds of the most prominent people of the two cities were in attendance at his funeral while the floral offerings were exceedingly numerous and beautiful. He leaves to mourn his loss a father, mother and two sisters, both of whom are popular teachers and in fact the whole family are prominent in uplift and intellectual movements, the father, Dr. Edw. R. Vaughan, being dean of the Theological Department at Western University and pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church, the Mother who is former President of the famous Progress Study Club and identified with a number of other intellectual organizations all of which at test the splendid environment in which young Vaughan grew to manhood. The funeral was held from Allen Chapel Tuesday at 2:00 P. M. and the casket passed through a long line composed of Boy Scouts of the two cities, the Knights Templar, Ideal Lodge A. F. & A. M., and the Ushers Board. After which the following program was rendered: PROGRAM. Hymn . . . Dr. J. C. C. Owens Prayer . . . Rev. F. D. Wells Scripture . . . Dr. S. W. Bacote Hymn . . . Dr. W. T.

Numerous resolutions, telegrams and condolences were read from various sections of the country by Dr. S. L. Brooks. The Sun realizes that it has lost a brilliant and valuable member of its official family and the race a sterling young man and extends in this hour of gloom its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. The following obituary is an epitome of the life of Eugene Edward Vaughan. OBITUARY Eugene Edward Vaughan was born in Texarkana, Ark., May 8, 1891. A few weeks after his birth he was christened in the A. M. E. church that city. At the age of six years he entered the public schools at Westport. He was very apt and always evinced a desire to know the reason for everything. In his first year in High School at Springfield, Missouri, while his father was pastor he exhibited rare qualities as a boy mathematician. Here as a boy of 11 years of age he professed religion under the late Rev. M. Collins and joined the church. He was a devout young Christian and took great interest in the Sunday School and Christian ndeavor. When his father was sent to a pastorate in Kansas City he entered the mixed High School of Kansas City, Kas., and was very popular with his classmates. He entered Western University and graduated both from the Normal and the business departments in 1907. He was called immediately to Tuskegee Institute of Tuskegee, Ala. He remained in the Faculty here for two years. He returned home, took up work at the Emporia state normal and was called to take charge of the Business Department of A. & M. College of Normal, Ala. After serving here a 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? PRICE, 5c. year, he resigned and entered the Chicago University. Here he specialized in the Sciences. On returning home, he entered the business profession of real state in which business he continued until his death last Friday afternoon at the Boy Scouts Camp at Bonner Springs, Kansas. He was a member of Allen Chapel for more than twelve years and a member of the Ushers Board. He was an intencre race man, public spirited and generous to a fault. No enterprise for the public good was begun in the community in which he was not an active participant. He was a member of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. almost from its beginning, having raised several hundred dollars for its erection. He was a member of Ideal Lodge A. F. & A. M., of Far West Commandery No. 3 and O. S. Quindaro, Kansas. He organized a Boy Scout Company of Quindaro early in the year and created much enthusiasm among the boys from the beginning. His idea of a Christian was to read his bible daily and serve his God devoutly, treat his fellow man right and work for the EUGENE EDWARD VAUGHAN. common good of humanity. He has been connected as Advertising solicitor for the Kansas City Sun several years. He leaves to mourn his departure a devoted father and mother, two loving sisters, a grandmother, several uncles and aunts and many other relatives and a host of friends. PEACE TO HIS ASHES. COMMANDER OF STUDENT ARMY TRAINING CAMP. Washington, D. C., Aug. 7. Lieut Russell Smith has been detailed as commanding officer of the Washington Student Army Training Camp just opened on the Howard University grounds. Lieut. Smith is a native of Covington, Va., where he was reared and received a rudimentary education in the public schools. He enlisted in the 10th United States Cavalry, and served with Troop B of that organization thirteen years. He saw foreign service with the gallant 10th Cavalry in the Philippines and in Mexico. He attended the Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines last year and was graduated, receiving a commission as first lieutenant. His most recent military service was at Camp Dix, where he served on a detail with the 153d Depot Brigade and with a field artillery regiment at that station.

BIG PARADE AND MEETING IN HONOR SELECTS TO LEAVE. Quincy, Ill.—Not since the dawn of their freedom have the Negro people of Quincy held a greater patriotic jubilee than was staged on the "community platform" in Washington Park Thursday night in honor of 44 Negro soldiers who leave this morning at 7:30 o'clock for Camp Dodge. From the time that the head of a column of marching men and women, the flower of the race in Quincy passed into the park, after parading down Hampshire street and around the park from the postoffice, to the final singing of the national anthem Negro speakers emphasized the fact that they were grateful for the blessing of liberty that they enjoy and that they were willing to make the supreme sacrifice to carry liberty, free- ERSITY CLAS y, Sept. 9, '18 Blank Now. ed.

Pointing to the 44 registrants who go to the training camp today one speaker after another said that these boys would by their deeds in France show their appreciation of the freedom that they enjoyed in Illinois. Were Many Speakers. The registrants were seated in the platform of the grand stand. With them were members of a chorus of 100 voices and the prominent colored men and women of Quincy. Mrs. Olive Dare, pianist, Miss Mattie Green, solo singer, and the Peerless Quartet sang and played and by their tuneful music contributed to the pleasure of a crowd of 2,000 persons who surrounded the band stand. Attorney William Schlagenhauf, S. H. Shumaker, Rev. S. M. Duke, Rev. J. W. Tutt, Mrs. Julia Dyson and Dr. H. J. Nichols made short speeches that were applauded by the big crowd bunched about the stand. Great Showing in Parade. The parade that preceded the speaking program was a fine tribute to the colored people who made it possible. It was led by the marshals, William Gose, Ivy Gordon and John Smith. They were supported by the chauffeur's band and in white uniforms the colored Red Cross unit, the war relief club, the ladies' military cadets with rifles, Company E, Illinois reserve militia, and the married women's drill team. Each unit had many members in line and the part they took was creditable to the members. All down the line of march a shower of coins was flung in the flag carried by loyal colored citizens. When the contribution for the men was counted the total was $188.63, or more than four dollars for each registrant.

KAW VALLEY DISTRICT HOLDS AN INTERESTING MEETING IN LAWRENCE. One of the most harmonious gatherings of the year was that of the 14th annual session of Kaw Valley District and the Woman's H. and F. M. Society which convened at the 9th Street Baptist Church, Lawrence, Kas. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. Irvin; response by Mrs. L. A. Wilson, Kansas City, Kas. Many interesting thoughts and ideas were advanced in the convention. Some of the new things brought forth by Rev. Watson of Topeka, Kas., were ideed helpful. The Bible questionaire conducted by Mrs. Z. Nelson created lively discussion and all delegates took interest in the lessons. The officers elected were: Moderator, Rev. G. N. Jackson, Lawrence; 1st vice, Rev. J. W. Clay, Kansas City, Kas.; recording secretary, Rev. Shannon, Edwardsville; corresponding secretary, Rev. Moses Williams, Kansas City, Kas.; treasurer, Mrs. A. T. Hultz, Kansas City, Kas. N. A. A. C. P. MAKES INVESTIGATION. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, of New York, announces that the names of two ringleaders and fifteen other participants in one of the mobs which lynched the first two of the eleven victims of the five days' lynching orgy which took place in Brooks and Lowndes Counties, Georgia, from May 17 to May 22, were put before Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia, in person, by Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the association, who spent four days in South Georgia investigating the affair. A full report of Mr. White's findings, which were of a sensational character, were at the same time placed before Governor Dorsey. The summary of the association's report which follows below states that eleven authenticated cases of lynching instead of six as reported in the press at the time, were discovered by their investigator. The report describes the lynching of Mary Turner, the wife of one of the first victims, which was most revolting and brutal. The eleven persons lynched met their fate as the result of mob frenzy, following the killing of Hampton Smith, a white farmer, and the wounding of his wife, on May 16. One of the men lynched is said by the Association to have stated to several persons interviewed by Mr. White that he alone did the shooting and that no others were implicated.

Grand Master Fields has had a most successful administration during the past year, has strengthened the finances of the fraternity and has added many acceptable and desirable men to the organization during the year. The association says that Mr. White's findings were submitted to Governor Dorsey at the latter's request on July 10 and that a copy was mailed the President for his information a few days ago. In making public the results of the Assistant Secretary's investigations into the South Georgia lynchings, Mr. Shillady, the Secretary, said that the Association was gratified beyond measure at the recent magnificent pronouncement of President Wilson in condemnation of the mob spirit and lynching. "The Association appreciates," said Mr. Shillady, "as perhaps no other organization in the country can, the full meaning of the danger which President Wilson seeks to avoid when he calls upon the 'governors of all the states, the law officers of every community, and above all, the men and women of every community in the United States * * * to make an end of this disgraceful evil." "The lynching of Negrobs," said Mr. Shillady, "had become so much a habit in certain sections of our country that the President's prestige was needed to give impetus to the movement to overcome it. Governor Dorsey, who in his message to the Georgia Legislature on July 3 denounced mob violence in strong terms, and the State of Georgia are now challenged to measure up the President Wilson's great appeal. In one memorable sentence President Wilson has put it squarely up to each community. As the President says, 'it (lynching and the Most Worshipful Grand Master in lieu of the Grand Lodge held a day and Friday. Grand Master Fle strengthened the finances of the fation during the year. community does not countenance it. A summary of the report follows: "Instead of six victims of the mobs which ranged over Brooks and Lownes Counties from May 17 to May 22, eleven authenticated cases were discovered during an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the killing of Hampton Smith, a white farmer of Brooks County, Georgia, and the wounding of his wife near Barney, Georgia, on May 16, and of the lynchings which followed. Press dispatches at the time named Will Head, Will Thompson, Hayes Turner, Mary Turner, his wife; Eugene Rice and Sidney Johnson; the latter of whom had stated before he was captured to several persons interviewed that he alone was implicated in the affair and that the five who had previously been lynched (the five already named) were not involved in it. Five additional victims were found, Chime Riley, Simon Schuman and three unidentified Negroes whose bodies were taken from the Little River just below Quitman, Georgia, about a week after they had been lynched. Negroes of the neighborhood told the investigator that there were eighteen victims but no more than eleven could be authenticated. "More than 500 Negroes have left the region since the outbreak, so that a number of Negroes who were said by acquaintances to have mysteriously disappeared could not be located nor their whereabouts ascertained and are not included in the investigator's findings. Hundreds of acres of once productive lands are now overrun with weeds and dozens of farm houses and cabins deserted by their former occupants, despite the threats involved in the statements of the mobs that any Negro attempting to leave the region would be considered to be involved in the killing of Smith. "Chime Riley was lynched and clay turpentine cups, used to catch the gum when turpentine trees are cut, were tied to his body and the body thrown into the Little River, near Barney Ga. Simon Schuman was called out of his house near Berlin, Ga., on the Moultrie Road, at night and has not been seen since. The interior of his house, as well as the furniture, was completely demolished. "The story of Mary Turner's fate was related to the investigator by men who affirmed that they were present at her death and is related with every desire to avoid the gruesome except as is necessary in giving the facts. "Mary Turner, wife of Hayes Turner, who had been reported by the press as having been lynched because of 'unwise remarks' concerning the lynching of her husband and who was approaching confinement, was tied by the ankles and hung head downward. Gasoline was taken from the automobiles of the lynching party and poured on her clothing, which was then burned from her person. After her clothes had burned off she was disembowelled and her unborn child fell from her womb, and while still alive, was crushed by the heel of a member of the mob. The woman's body was riddled with bullets from high powered rifles until it was unrecognizable. She was buried ten feet from the tree and HON. W. W.

A reception followed in the lower auditorium. Mme. Walker's Annual Message. Friday night, America's foremost business woman of America delivered her annual address. Her reception was wonderful. Every one in the audience arose and gave her the chauqua salute. She said in part, "Today marks the end of nearly a year since we met in the great city of Philadelphia and I need not say I am indeed proud to meet with you again. We are not only to transact business of this convention, not only to inspire and receive inspiration, but to pledge anew our support of loyalty and patriotism, our love for our country and to say to the President of the United States that the Colored Women of America are ready and willing to undergo hardship and to make the necessary sacrifice that our boys may be brought home victorious, (applause). It is not my purpose to talk war at this time, but I want you to know as interested as I am in my agents and this convention, my first thought is the winning of the war and that should be in the mind of every real American." Speaking of her business she said: "I have conducted my business this year at a loss owing to the unusual cost of material, heavy tax and etc. I have not raised the price because I did not want my agents to suffer. You have been loyal to me and by the help of God I am trying to be loyal to you. (Prolonged applause) I want you to know whatever I have accomplished in life I have paid for it.

EDITORIALS The result of the recent Primary Campaign was extremely gratifying to that large majority of Kansas Cityans who are opposed to the hated Star of dictating the political policies of Jackson County or Kansas City. It has become absolutely true as proven by years of actual verification that anyone the Star opposes is elected and any one it supports in Missouri is defeated. The untimely and unexpected death of Eugene Edward Vaughan cast a gloom over the entire community and many expressions of regret were heard in both Kansas Citys that a young man of such brilliant attainments and dynamic energy should be so suddenly cut off, but we recognize the fact that "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away" and we bow in humble submission to His will. The action of Grand Master Fields in calling off the regular session of the Grand Lodge for this year and in its stead assembling in executive session his cabinet officers has met the commendation and hearty approval of the rank and file of the fraternity throughout the jurisdiction and with the exception of one or two sore-head office seekers and chronic fault finders, he is being generally commended for his wisdom in protecting the finances of the fraternity and in catering to the patriotic spirit pervading all America. The Sun makes the prediction that the next session of the Grand Lodge, not a one of these kickers will be in evidence or will have the temerity to as sail the wise acts of our present splendid Grand Master. WAR DEPARTMENT BUREAU IS STEADILY GROWING. Washington, D. C., Aug. 7.—When Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, was called to Washington last October to serve as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, he immediately requested the Department of Commerce to release Mr. William H. Davis, who for many years had been performing stenographic and other technical work in that Department of the Government, and who for many years has been official stenographer of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Davis was accordingly released and has been serving as secretary and first assistant to Mr. Scott since the beginning of his work in Washington. The office force was later enlarged by the addition of Mr. Charles A. Wilson of Boston, Mass., a stenographic helper, and within the last few weeks by the further addition of Mr. Charles L. Webb Chicago, Ill., a stenographic helper, formerly status clerk in the United States General Land Office, Interior Department, and Mr. R. W. Thompson, the well known correspondent, who has been transferred from the Treasury Department to serve as an assistant in handling the many intricate problems which come to the office of the Special Assistant, whose bureau looks after matters affecting the interests of colored soldiers and colored citizens generally during the period of the present war, and is acting in conjunction with the Committee on Public Information and other agencies of the Government in the important work of stimulating the continued loyalty of colored Americans. The duties involving upon Mr. Scott have grown steadily in volume and gravity and it has been necessary to steadily increase his office force to keep pace with the overwhelming mass of correspondence that flows daily into the office and to properly care for the welfare of the hundreds of cases that constantly press for attention and touch every possible phase of the activities of the colored people of the nation.

Dear Sir and Friend:— “Tonight I write you from the West: ern Front; today is Sunday and it has been alittle quiet, hence I seize this ‘opportunity to write you. Tonight my thoughts are of home, loved ones and friends and wonder if they fully rea lize the sacrifice that we have made and are making here upon the front for the Democracy of the World. ‘As I write, my mind: goes back to the night of the reception that was given in honor of the boys of Kansas City who were called to the colors and who were soon then to depart for Camp. Having chanced to be there, the occasion still lives in my memory. You bade us go and reminded us that when it is all over, you wpuld receive us back in your arms. These words still live. And the memory of the march to the station with the band leading and enthusiasm written upon every countenance, impressed me with the loyalty and patriotism of Kansas City of which I consider you a leader, I shall never forget. 1 had the pleasure while in Kensas City of being present at a few services in Which you spoke and became impress ed with the fact that you too were @ soldier not fighting with carnal wea- pons but in a cause necessary and well worth while, May God speed you on and ever keep you strong to con- tinue your fight until the glorious ob- Ject of our conquest is obtained. 1 wish to be especially remembered to Rev, Thomas and Rev. Holmes. 1 can never forget my enjoyment of those beautiful services in their churches. I would like to say @ great many things which are prohibited but can only say that we are here to do a full man’s part among divers Na- tions of the earth with whom we have to fight; that we are here until it is all over, here to see it through until the Nations of the earth learn the great lessop taught by our blessed Saviour: “That all men are created free and equal’ possessing certain in- alieneable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness to be mutually respected. Our men are in fine spirits and are hold- ing their own and we assure you that if we are not able to add anything to our past history as American Sol- diers we will take nothing away. We are hailed by our foreign _ allies as comrades, brothers and friends and a people could not be more friendly to us, but we are anxious to complete- ly convince Kaiser Bill that his idea is erroneous in order that we may ‘soon return to our loved ones for ‘whom our hearts beat day and night for whom we sacrifice, for whom we fight and if necessary for whom we ‘die, But if it should not be ours to re turn to the fair land of America, the land that gave us birth, if the prin- ciples for which we contend and the peace and happiness which we have always cherished can be forever es- tablished; if our loved ones can reap the harvest made by our sacrifice, Ia- bor and blood, sweet will be the sleep and just the compensation. May God smile upon your iabors and wishing to be remembered to all friends, I am . Yours truly, Ist Lt. A. L. Hatchett, American Expeditionary Forces. France.

W. G Masterman in the Sphere, In the north, the fertile plain of the Huleh, traversed by the four tributary streams of the Jordan, is capable with little engineering 0% receiving irriga- tion In every part. In some districts, at the head of the valley where this has been done, very striking results have been obtained. In this district “red” rice is now cultivated. At the further end of the plain lies the marsh and shallow lake of El Huleh., Here probably a good deal of Iand might be recovered for cultivation by drainage. ‘This was done to some extent a few years ago by deepening the bed of the Jordan a mile or two below the lake, and much marsh land was recovered. To the south and west of the Huleh are splendid corn lands, hence the lake's second name, Baheiret el Khait, the “Lake of the Wheat.” In the Huleh valley a~ a whole, ~ice, malze, hemp, and probably cotton could all be profitably cultivated, while other parts might be planted with poplars for timber, and with apricot and pench orchards, as is done with similar lands around Damascus. The district of rocky, voleante hil slopes between the Huleh and thd Lak | of Galilee is scarcely lkely to affore | scope for irrigation, but in the great descent of the Jordan, 680 feet In nin miles, there exists an economica source of power sufficient to produce 1 properly utilized, all the electrical energy needed for public and private use for many miles around, ‘To the north of the Lake of Gallle le the two fertile and easily irrigated | plains, El Batathah—the Jordan delta —and El Ghuweir, or Gennesaret. Of this latter Josephus writes: “Extend ing along the Lake of Gennesaret, an¢ bearing also its name, les a tract of country admirable both for its natura properties and its beauty.

The greatest of these is the Yarmuk valley, up which the Haifa rallway ascends toward Damascus, This {3 the Hetromax of the Greeks, aud hero shortly before the valley opens into the main Jordan valley there {s a group of hot sulphurous springs, amid which le the ruins of the baths and theater of the Greek set- tlement of Amatha, a health resort for the great clty, Gadara, whose abund- ant ruins crown the mountains im- mediately to the south. ‘These sulphur springs, as well as those south of Tiberias, also developed in Roman times, and of the ancient Callirrhoe springs, visited by the dying Herod the Great in hope of cure, In the Wady Zerka Maan,.are all undoubtedly valu- Jable assets tothe land and should be | properly developed.

How far the whole 60 miles of the Jordan valley between the two lakes Is capable of complete irrigation 4s a question for experts, but I gather from the views of one expert from India who visited Palestine when I was there, that water can be distribut: ed over the greater part. It will need. however, a big scheme, which must deal with the valley as a whole. Cer. tain spots are naturally well provided with springs and streams, and have in the past been very well watered, notably the district around Beisan and the Vale of Jezreel to its west, the Wady Fara, running from Nablus to the Jordan, the eastern side of the Jor: dan around the Wady Zerka (the Jub- bok), and the Jericho district, watered at present In a very Incomplete way, from Ain es Sultan (Blisha’s fountaln) and Ain Duk.

His mother was a ferret, lean, yel- low and pink eyed and a she devil to boot, says a writer in London An- swers, His father was worse, a wild pole- cat of the mountains, and a worse devil than ever. But he, the cherub, was so soft and furry and fat and creamy, and, though he had got pink eyes, there seemed to be nothing else of his mother and father about him, He never bit, he never spat, and he never used bad lan- guage, and he lived upon bread and milk, like a gentleman, So he was till the spring broke. It was thelr own fault, the ferret ers. ‘They took him out rabbiting, as usual. ‘They put a collar with a bell on round his neck, as usual, and a long, long string on the collar, as usual, and they turned him into @ rabbit warren, as usual, And he sneezed three times, as usual, and hq walked docilely down the first rabbit hole he came to, as usual, to turn out the rabbits from thelr burrows, as usual, that the sportsmen outside might shoot them as they bolted. So far, until he got into the middle of the mazes of tunnels, the inky dark- nesses, and the stuffy heat, full of the smell of castor oil—don't know why, by the way—and he could hear the drumming of rabbits’ feet fleeing before his ghostly, terrible self, every- thing happened as usual. 'Then nothing did, He was pulled up with a jerk that nearly choked him. He tried going for- ward, but It was all no good. He had only a yard of play either way. His line was entangled in a root. ‘The hours passed, and the ferreters, after trying every device known to man to get him out, gave it up and went home, The cherub did not give it up. He worried slowly, and he chafed, he pulled, and tugged, he backed, and he sweated, and he sneezed, and finally his collar came undone or broke. ‘The cherub sneezed three times, and walked three yards. ‘Then he realized he was free. It was the first time in all his life he had been free, and it acted upon him, In that second his mother, plus his father, got to work in his own body, and he began. It was really very clean killing, Fit- teen rabbits done to death, each with a single, clean fang stroke behind the ears—was not so bad for one small ferret. But he improved, for he slew 20 in the next hour—leaving every eareass untouched where \lt Iay—and, getting thirsty, came above ground for water. The water he did not find, but discovered fowls in a fowlhouse in- stead, and, as I sald, being thirsty, drank blood. There were no live fowls in that hen roost when he left. He visited the hutches of the Belgian hares, which he slew, and the pigeon cote, where he got more blood. After that he returned a mile across country, killing three partridges on the way; drank at the dog's’ trough— biting the dog badly in the process— walked into his own hutch and was found curled up, calmly asleep, among the hay next morning. Rabbit Meat for Wartime Food. Wartime conservation of beef and pork has enabled a Kansan to develop a rather extraordinary business in the marketing of wild rabbits, both jacks and cottontails, A rabbit-packing plant has been established and is now ship- ping frozen bunnies by the tens of thousands, A recent contract called for 480,000 pounds of jackrabbit meat, The jacks average four pounds each when dressed. This means that approximate- ly 120,000 rabbits were required to fill the order. ‘The fur 1s disposed of at a handsome profit. It is used in the manufacture of high-grade felt, such as enters into the making of men’s hats. All waste products are converted into fertilizer. The industry also rids the country of a crop-destroying pest, —Popular Mechanics Magazine. Teaching the Boys to Sing. A distinguished young musician re- cently joined the English army for the purpose of teaching the boys to sing. Attached to the royal air force, he has been commissioned to train the men at the varlous centers in choral singing, thus dispensing with the necessity for bands, The effect upon the spirits, the morale and the discipline of the men has been excellent, . ‘They have devel- oped a keen interest in singing, and many of them have been found, to thelr own surprise, to possess excel- lent volees. In view of the success of ‘the movement, it will probably be ex- tended to other branches of the army, especially where the formation of a band is out of the question, Improves Revolver, By providing the ordinary revolver with a circular cartridge frame or.clip, Joseph H.

CAMP GORDON, ATLANTA, GA CAMP UPTON YAPHANK, I.I. CAMP DEVENS MASS. AR brought the men of America to the camps of the country. It brought the women, too—mothers, wives, sisters, aunts, sweethearts. The government had made its plans for the men, but it had made them without thought of the women. Then the women came to visit their soldier relatives. The camp W commanders looked at the stream of femininity coming steadily toward them, and asked what was to be done. Then the war department began to think of the women, and finally it asked the Young Women's Christian association for help. The Hostess house was the answer. Eighty-five of these unique establishments are now either in operation or are definitely under construction. They are put up only at the direct request of the camp commandants. Some of the commanding officers were a little doubtful at first as to the practicability of the scheme. Now these same officers are asking for second and third Hostess houses in their cantonments. Wherever colored troops are stationed, buildings are erected for their use and social welfare work under trained colored leaders is carried on. These centers of hospitality are under the supervision of the war department's commission on training camp activities. They are a part of the government's war work. The war work council of the Young Women's Christian association promotes them as one phase of the association's work for the country in this national emergency. Since women are allowed to come to cantonments to visit their soldier folk, places must be provided for their recreation. Camp Lewis at American Lake, Washington state, is seven miles long. Camp Lee, Virginia, contains 40,000 men. Each camp covers acres of ground laid out in the bewildering monotony of company streets lined with barracks. The discomfort of the camps for visitors is often extreme. The thermometer went down to 24 degrees below zero at Camp Devens, Mass., last winter. The Kansas mud at Camp Funston could be put in a mucilage bottle and used for glue. Camp Donliphon, Okla., sometimes hides itself in dust. And as for heat in summer, no visitor has been able to decide where the thermometer goes the highest. The Hostess houses are refuges for the elderly parents, worried wives, and admiring friends, whose love of the soldiers draws them to the camps. One phase alone of the Hostess house work would justify their existence. Each house is a directory, a street guide, a map, a telephone exchange, a finding bureau, and a writing room for visitors. When a soldier is "under orders for France" his family come to bid him good-by if it is within coming distance. At one cantonment a father, mother and three sisters came hurrying.

The hostess by the aid of telephone and messenger paged each of these stations. The man was found at one of them and brought to the Hostess house. This is surely a great improvement on the game of "cross tag" so often played by excited families with their impatient soldier sons among the barracks. At Balboa Park, Cal., they call the hostess "the lady who finds your friends." An interesting feature of the Hostess house is that the architects in charge of the construction are women. Miss Julia Morgan is on the Pacific coast. Miss Fay Kellogg has charge of the Southern field. Miss Katherine Budd builds in the middle West.

Miss Julia Morgan is on the Pacific coast. Miss, Fay Kellogg has charge of the Southern field. Miss Katherine Budd builds in the middle West. The general plan of construction is the same, adapted to local conditions. A large room is usually divided into two parts by a huge chimney with fireplaces on both sides. In winter a leaping fire gives cheer and warmth. In summer evergreen branches fill the big stone open- ing. Interior decorators make the houses beautiful with the dignity of simple lines and harmonious colors. Gay curtains at the windows give brightness even in stormy weather. The chintz cushions in the chairs are good to look at as well as comfortable to lean against. Half of the big room is used for a reception hall and the other half forms the cafeteria. There is always a rest room for tired travelers. A nursery with bright quilts and curtains is waiting for the babies who come to visit their fathers. Not unusually the house contains sleeping rooms for the hostesses. One or two spare cots are frequently provided for very exceptional cases where it is impossible for women to leave camp that night. Sometimes a bad storm effectually holds them prisoners. Or the mother of a sick boy waits anxiously for a crisis in the illness. A Hostess house is manned by five women, the hostess director having general charge of everything. The social hostess is chiefly responsible for the reception of visitors. The emergency hostess looks after outside cases which come to the attention of the workers. The cafeteria hostess is concerned with the food. The business hostess keeps the accounts and looks after the buying. Certain qualifications are essential for these offices. Of course the cafeteria director must be a trained dietitian, a graduate of a recognized domestic science institute and an experienced domestic economist. The business hostess is one who is accustomed to running a large establishment on an economical and efficient basis. The emergency secretary is somewhat like the social worker. Experience in settlement work or some other form of welfare work affords a good training. She must know and utilize all the government agencies, charitable institutions and philanthropic organizations. The term "social hostess" sounds somewhat vague, but more than shaking hands is involved in her position. She must have had experience in dealing with large numbers of people. Tact which takes her to a desired goal without friction is necessary. Endless patience, a kind heart, and a shrewd brain are fundamental. The director of a Hostess house must be all the four others rolled into one. Poise is a prerequisite. When a tornado rolled the roof back from the house at Camp Taylor, Louisville, and then returned it to its place with a bang, the work went right on as if nothing had happened. Every sort of a demand is made upon the women employed in Hostess houses. They made 4,000 sandwiches for ex-President Taft at Camp Funston. The number was not too many for him—and his admiring audience. A worker at Camp Cody, Tex., was taken aback for a moment when a woman inquired "Can you tell me where I can get a baby?" But she recovered her breath in time to find one for adoption. Wandering mothers, lost in company streets, are returned to anxious sons. Homesick soldier boys are accompanied to movie shows. Rooming and boarding places in the neighborhood are found for soldiers' relatives. Mothers are chaperoned, bables fed, letters written, and information given on every subject from the future life to fountain pens. The Hostess house does not shut up shop when visiting hours are over. Not only for guests does it exist, but for the soldiers themselves. In one house it has been discovered that as soon as the boys have seen their friends off on the train they came pell-mell back to seek comfort and food. Then the cafeteria, which has worked so hard all day, hands out pie and coffee to the disconsolate ones. The cook at Camp Meade forgot her pass one morning. She told a soldier at the gate who she was. "Are you the cook who makes that tomato soup?" asked the sentry. "I am," she replied. "Pass," decreed the soldier, saluting. "I want some of that soup this noon." The cost of building and equipping Hostess houses has increased during the past year just THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. AUGUST 10. 1918. as has everything else. Originally $10,000 was expected to build and equip a house suitably. Lumber has gone up. Wages are higher. Furniture is almost unattainable. Transportation is difficult. Constant delays occur. Nevertheless Hostess houses must be built. The appropriation must be sufficient to cover all these difficulties. Twenty-seven thousand dollars is not too much to invest in one of these hospitality centers. Even after the house is built, alterations and additions must go on. The military sanitary regulations must be fulfilled, even if they increase in severity. With summer comes the screening necessary. Yet every house is worth to the community and to the nation in general all the money invested in it. Of the $5,000,000 budget appropriated by the war work council of the Young Women's Christian association $1,750,-000 is being devoted to Hostess houses. Another work of the greatest importance which has just been undertaken by the Young Women's Christian association is the housing of women workers in connection with our great industrial establishments. While this is not strictly a new problem created by the war, the calling of many women workers to war service makes the situation immediately acute. Obviously the providing of proper housing for these newly called women workers, since it is a part of the war program, must be done by the government. The Young Women's Christian association is now constructing, at its own expense, two buildings as a demonstration; one at Camp Sherman Annex, Chillicothe, and another at Charleston, S. C., for the women employees in the navy uniform factory. The latter is being built at the request of Secretary Daniels. If the government shall decide to make provision for the housing of its women workers, the Young Women's Christian association offers to provide the needed social and recreational workers. Based on its experience in housing girls during the last 50 years, the association believes that younger girls should be grouped where they can have social life and an opportunity to entertain their friends, and still be under some of the restrictions of the home; that older women want independence of living, many of them objecting to living in large groups because of the noise and confusion and ensuing fatigue; and that it is more successful to house non-English-speaking foreign girls in small groups, until they learn English and become used to American customs.

The type "A" building, the permanent structure which the association is building at Charleston, is designed for use in places where only one building will be erected. The dining room and recreation hall, several parlors, and bedrooms for 44 girls are on the first floor. There is but one entrance for the residents. This makes it possible for the matron or social head of the house, who is in the office near the door, to see everyone who comes in or goes out. The entrance hall is attractive and homelike. Opening out of it are several parlors separated from the hall by arches. To the right is an entrance to the wing containing the recreation hall and dining room. These rooms are so arranged that they can be thrown into one for a large social gathering. The dining room and recreation hall, several parlors, and bedrooms for 44 girls are on the first floor.

There are bedrooms for 51 girls on the second floor. There is also a sitting room separated from the hall only by pillars. This is for the use of the girls only. Next to this is a small sewing room with facillities for sewing. On the third floor are bedrooms for six girls, an infirmary and a private bath. In industrial communities the buildings are intended to be grouped as effectively as possible with due regard to natural advantages. There can, of course, be as many units as are necessary. It is also proposed to provide a number of three and four-family houses to accommodate the elder women and the non-English-speaking foreign girls. In all of these buildings an attempt has been made to use a style of architecture which is distinctly American.

LESSON TEXTS—Luke 10:25-37; Galatians 6:1-10. GOLDEN TEXT—Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.—Galatians 6:2. DEVOTIONAL READING—Galatians 5:25-31. PRIMARY LESSON MATERIAL—Luke 10:25-37. INTERMEDIATE, SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC—Who needs our help, and how can we best give it? ADDITIONAL MATERIAL — Proverbs 17:17; Matthew 5:42; Romans 12:10-15; I Corinthians 13:1-13; I John 3:16-18. I. Being a Neighbor (Luke 10:30-37). The story of the Good Samaritan is Christ's answer to the lawyer's question: Who is our neighbor? He shifts the question so as to show that the supreme concern is not who is our neighbor, but whose neighbor am I? If I am Christ's, my supreme concern will be to find those who have need that I may be a neighbor to them. If we love God supremely, we shall find all along life's highway souls who have been wounded and robbed by sin, whom we can love as ourselves. To be a neighbor is to— 1. See those about us who need help (v. 33). Love is keen to discern need. Let us be on the lookout for those in need of our help. 2. Have compassion on the needy (v. 33). Christ's pity was aroused as he came into contact with those who were suffering and in need. All those who have his nature will be likewise moved. 3. Go to those in need (v. 34). Many are willing to give money to help the poor and needy, but are unwilling to personally minister to them. Many times the personal touch is more important than the material aid. We should give ourselves as well as our money. 4. Blind up the wounds (v. 34). Many indeed are the wounds today which need our attention. 5. Set the helpless ones on our beasts while we walk (v. 34). This is a proof that the love is genuine. Christians will deny themselves in order to have something to give to those who have need. This kind of sympathy is greatly needed today. 6. Bring to the inn and take care of the unfortunate (v. 34). Genuine love does not leave its service incomplete. Much Christian service is spasmodic; helps once and then leaves a man to care for himself. 7. Gives money (v. 35). It costs a good deal to be a neighbor. Love is the most expensive thing in the world. It cost God his only Son; it cost Christ his life. May we go and do likewise! 11. Living and Walking in the Spirit (Galatians 6:1-10). Those who are freely justified in Christ will conduct themselves as follows: 1. Restore the sinning brother (v. 1). Restore is a surgical term which means the placing back of a dislocated member to its place. We are members of the body of Christ, and the sining of a brother ought to as really give us pain as the dislocation of a member of our body. This service is to be done in the spirit of meekness, lest we also be tempted. 2. Bear one another's burdens (vv. 2-4). Many are the burdens of life, burdens of weakness, temptation, sorrow, suffering and sin. Christ is the supreme burden-bearer. When we do this we fulfill the law of Christ. 3. Bear our own burdens (v. 5). There are peculiar burdens incumbent upon each one to bear. These burdens cannot be borne by others. 4. Support teachers of God's Word (vv. 6-8). It is incumbent upon those who are taught in the Word of God to give of their means for the support of the teacher. To repudiate this obligation is mockery of God, for he ordained that they who preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel (1 Cor. 9:14). 5. Be earnest in well-doing (v. 9). Some fall of the reward because they give up when the goal is about to be reached. 6. Work for the good of all men (v. 10). The one who is free in Christ will have sympathies and interests as wide as the race. He will especially strive to help those who are members of Christ's body. True Service There is no service like his that serves because he loves—Sir Philip Sidney. Vaunteth Not Itself. Put a seal upon your lips, and forget what you have done. After you have been kind, after Love has stolen forth into the world and done its beautiful work, go back into the shade again, and say nothing, about it. A Paradox. It is one of the happy paradoxes of spirit that without dependence there can be no independence, and that precisely in proportion to our faith will be our intellectual and moral activity. Susan E. Blow. Copyright Underwood & Underwood Headwear Prophetic of Fall THE HAT MAKER Against the chill of wet bathing suits and cool breezes, various capes and mantles and scarfs have been provided, to be slipped on over the suit. Many of them are made of rubber cloth, such as is used in hats and caps, for bathing, or of cloth rubberized on one side. Besides these there are caps and mantles of turkish-towel fabrics, of coarse weave, wiry woolen fabrics, of light weight, and of rubberized satin. The woolen fabric makes suits that shed water quickly. The bathing suits and their accessories that entice one waterward this season are the most graceful and becoming and also the most varied in design that have appeared for years. It is evident that they are intended to be presentable in canoes, on house boats and on the beach as well. The caps and hats, made of rubber cloth, are not merely head coverings, but are entitled to be classed as a special kind of millinery. Rubber cloth is used for rosettes and flower forms that trim them. There are sailor shapes, tams, and visored caps that shade the eyes. Headwear Pro By the time that August rolls round each year women's eyes stray away from summer millinery and such new headwear as they buy is prophetic of fall. In the late summer they favor something quite different from the hats of midsummer, no matter how beautiful these may have been, and incline to tailored headwear made of silks and other fabrics. Outing hats and between-season sport hats interest them, but straws and flowers are things of the past even in July. They continue to wear them, but not to buy them. Here are three of the new demi-season hats with which fair woman will adorn her head until October sets her thinking of winter, and fall showings of winter millinery, tempt her to anticipate her needs. These are tailored hats that seem to be placed right when worn with light summer frocks or with tailored suits on cooler days. They play a necessary role in fashion's drama and are a part of the pageant of the seasons—like the turning leaves of autumn. A lovely hat of beige color and navy taffeta, at the top of the group, has its brim faced with navy blue taffeta and navy blue chenille threaded through to covering of top and side crown, in beautifully even stitches. Small oblong pieces of the beige-colored taffeta are edged with chenille and set one after another about the --- many fanciful caps and a new and altogether fetching head-dress that looks like the cap worn by trained nurses, with a vell that protects the neck and throat, that is made of rubber tissue. All these bathing togs may be had in gay and pretty colors—rose and sea-green are great favorites—or in dark and medium blues—black and orange or black and white, among other color combinations. Caps or scarfs, with cap or hat to match, are especially smart, and sometimes a big knitting bag makes a trio that cannot pass unnoticed. For the knitting bag goes with us everywhere—even down to the sea. A black and white cape, with white collar and white silk cord and tassel fastenings, is shown in the picture. It is of rubberized satin and a good example of the style in these capes, made of other materials. In capes and scarfs of rubber cloth the fabric is slashed to form a fringe as a finish. In the capes of course woolen goods collars and bindings are introduced in a contrasting color. ophetic of Fall base of the crown. Dark blue beads fasten each piece to the side crown. At the bottom of the group there is a small shape having a crown covered with white taffeta embroidered with wool. The brim and crown band are of navy taffeta, and there are four pairs of small navy blue wings at the right side. The brim rolls up at the left. The shape and the fine work required in making this model will commend it to smartly dressed matrons. The remaining hat is one of many models for fall in which narrow ribbon covers the body of the shape, with various kinds of facings—sometimes long-napped beaver cloth, in contrasting color, sometimes panne velvet and sometimes a fancy braid. The last was chosen for the pretty model pictured. Porcelain blue, rose, orchid and other gay, soft colors have been liked for hats of this character. Ribbon to Imitate Leather. A new ribbon, brilliant in luster, to imitate patent leather, has been introduced for hat trimmings. It is most desirable, as it can be crushed into bowls or other ornaments without affecting the patent leather appearance. --- ANNOUNCEMENT—After taking a much needed rest, MRS.

THURSDAY ONE MEAL WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD CRACKERS, PASTE OR REFRACTANT FOOD CONTAINING WHEAT A GREAT DEMONSTRATION By J H Hillard. The patriotic citizens of Helena last evening (Thursday) paid a high tribute to the five colored soldiers who formed the most recent contigent of drafted men from this county, and a parade, public speaking, patriotic music and every means of doing honor to the men constituted parts of the celebration. H. G. Pickett, president of the Helena Commercial club, was speaker of the day, and delivered a thrilling address, in which he expressed in glowing terms the appreciation of the community for its soldiers, white or colored, and pledged the people of the city and county to stand behind them to the last dollar and the final gasp. The men of the contingent were as follows: Sam Welch, William Darnell, and George Williams, entraining here; George Robinett, entraining at Columbia, Mo., and Martina Quoaby, entraining at Oakland, Cal. The men were called to Camp Lewis, Washington, to become part of the national army of the United States. The celebration began with a parade through Main street over the usual route, during which the town was decorated with the flags of this country and the allied nations, and martial and patriotic music was furnished by the State Capital band. The police led the parade. Adjutant General Greenan was grand marshal. The fire department, fraternal, patriotic and other organizations took part in the parade, and many colored people marched in the lines. Henry Gerharz presided at the ceremonies at the corner of Main and Sixth avenue, and Lester H. Loble read the nams of the recruits, which were placed on the honor roll on the roster board there by Miss Alice York and Miss Florence Matthews, colored girls dressed as Red Cross nurses. A nurse composed of money thrown into the flag carried by the Red Cross girls in the parade amounting to $84.83 was given the recruits. In his brief address Mr. Gerharz declared that there are no lines of color, creed or race in the American army, and that all its members are Americans and the proud defenders of the republic and democracy. The men later in the evening were ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH. guests, with a large number of their friends, at a supper and social hour at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Judge Hart on Benton avenue, and they expressed their appreciation for the honors and kindnesses receieved by them from whit and colored frineds and the public.

Overall, one of Kansas City's foremost teachers. Mr. Nash served as a mail carrier for over thirty years. His record for efficiency and faithfulness was unblemished.
