Ramsey, one of Kansas City's best known physicians, the Editor in company with Dr. J. 7dgar Dibble accepted a motor trip to the Grand Lodge U. B. F.'s, at Moberly last week and on last Monday night with Anderson Bentley, one of the best chauffeurs and mechanics of the race at the wheel left the City at 10:00 o'clock on what proved to be one of the most delightful and entertaining trips he had ever made. We crossed the great Armour-Swift Bridge into Clay County in a burst of mellow moon- [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit]. M. M. H. DR. JAMES H.

After meeting a few friends who were spending a little time at the Springs and getting our bearing, we dashed away for Richmond our next stop, which was made in a little while. Here to our agreeable surprise while preparing to partake of a toothsome lunch which the Editor's thoughtful wife prepared for them, they were overtaken by Dr. E. A. Walker in his handsome Ford Coupe accompanied by Mr. T. B. Watkins the well known undertaker and we spent a most enjoyable half hour here recounting little incidents of the trip until that time. With Dr. Walker as the Pathfinder we started for our next destination, Carrolton, Mo., but everybody gave the driver went to sleep at the switch and when we found ourselves we were twenty miles off the road. Finally we aroused a farmer who put us on the right track and we reached Carrolton about 5:00 o'clock, two hours after Dr. Walker and Mr. Watkins had passed through the city. At Carroll- --- --- The Kansas City Sun ton we viewed a handsome monument recently erected to the late General Shields; met our old friend, Albert Thomas, the barber and man of all trades in this city, filled our gas tank and started for our next stop—Brunswick, Mo., where we took breakfast at the little restaurant of Brother Spencer Payne, leaving immediately for Dalton, seven miles away where is located the Bartlett Industrial and Agricultural school presided over by Prof. N. C. Bruce who has the reputation of raising the finest corn and best wheat in Missouri. All 1910 I Master of the U. B. F. of Missouri and what is unsurpassed in the annals of this serving his fourth year as Grand Master at the recent session held in Moberly, though we did not meet the President, we inspected the buildings and grounds which should be a source of pride to the people of Charlton County and also met Rev. Cohron, the pastor of the church, formerly of St. Joseph, Mo., with whom we chatted pleasantly for a few moments. We called on the Master of the Masonic Lodge Prof. J. M. Barton, but were informed that he was down at Keytesville, the county seat, six miles away for which we left immediately. The first man we met was Prof. Barton as we drove into the city. We only tarried here for a moment then left for Salisbury where Bentley, the driver, was born and reared. Here we had lunch on while Bentley had an opportunity to visit his relatives, his father being one of the substantial citizens of this little City. From Salisbury we drove rapidly into Moberly stopping for a few moments at Huntsville, the county seat to greet a few old friends and to inspect the Masonic Hall of which the Editor laid the cornerstone during his incumbency as Grand Master of Masons, arriving at Moberly at 10:30 A. M., just at the opening of the Grand Lodge. We were escorted to Mrs. A. Ray's, 212 Nautil Ault street --- KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1918. where we most comfortably located, along with Dr. Walker and Mr. Watkins and our stay in Moberly was one continued round of pleasure meeting old friends, renewing acquaintances, visiting points of interest and attending the various sessions of the Grand Lodge. Unexpectedly on Thursday we received telegrams announcing the death at Louisiana, Mo., of Mr. Ernest O. Boone, Sr., Senior Grand Warden of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Missouri and an order from the Grand Master to meet him there. After bidding farewell to the brethren of the Grand Lodge U. B. F. and to our traveling companions, Dr. Walker and Mr. Watkins and Dr. Dibble, who was called back home the day previous, Dr. Ramsey, Bentley and I started for Louisiana, 96 miles away at 12:30. Our first stop was Centralia, where we had lunch, then on to Mexico, over one of the best roads to be found in Missouri. Mexico is the home of B. L. Douglas, the well known barber, E. J. Cooper the Grand Lecturer and Tom Bass the famous horseman and after a few moments visit with these distinguished fraters and replenishing our car with gasoline and oil, we left for Louisiana where we arrived safely at 8:30, after having to change a tire at Vandalia, one of the thriving little manufacturing towns of the State. We were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Franklin, where we were royally entertained during our stay and the next morning under the guidance of our old friend, William Bibbs and Charles P. Covington were show many points of interest in this historic city in the county of Pike from whence hails Champ Clark Speaker of the House of Representatives. The funeral of brother Boone was held on Friday at 2:30 and quite a few visiting brethren were in attendance including Grand Master Fields, Junior Grand Warden Bradbury, Grand Lecturer Cooper, the lodges from Bowling Green and Frankford while floral tributes came from all sections of the state. It was one of the saddest funerals we ever attended, but the high standing of brother Boone was attested by the presence of the entire body of Colored Ministers of the City, the Mayor, Postmaster and a number of prominent white citizens and vast concourse of race people of that city and vicinity. We left Louisiana on our return trip for Hannibal at 6:00 o'clock arriving there in a drizzling rain about 8:00 p. m., and being unable to obtain gasoline, owing to their local restrictions, we were compelled to spend the night there. After visiting a circus that happened to be exhibiting in the City, where Dr. Ramsey purchased a huge quantity of peanuts and Bentley affectionately greeted a cage of chimpanzees, we drove out to the Masonic Home where Supt. Dixon kept us during the evening; leaving there bright and early for Monroe City, the first lap on our long trip of 240 miles homeward bound. We encountered very disagreeable and muddy roads from Hannibal to Monroe City and were only able to make about ten miles an hour, but after leaving Monroe City we struck good dry roads and it was virtually a joy ride all the rest of the way to Kansas City. After leaving Monroe City our first stop was Shelbina where we had breakfast, then on leisurely to Macon where we arrived about noon and visited the grounds and buildings of Western College presided over by President Inman E. Page, also our brother, Rev. P. C. Crews and family who reside here and several other friends and acquaintances including (Continued on Page 5.) A. CORRECTION. In last week's issue, in speaking of the death of Bro. E. O. Boone of Louisiana, Mo., our printer made us say he left a wife and one son. Instead, he leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters, all married and all highly educated, a family of which Bro. Boone was justly proud. MEXICO AND U. S. CLASH. Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 27.—Two Americans were killed, twenty-nine wounded and more than 500 American troops were engaged for one and one-half hours on the border here late today during a skirmish between American troops and Mexicans. The American officer killed was Capt. Joseph D. Hungerford, who commanded a troop of Negro cavalry. While the casualties on the Mexican side of the border were not known tonight, it was estimated that 100 had been killed by fire from the American side, while at least twice this number, including a number of civilians, were wounded. Reports that Negro cavalry troops crossed the international boundary in the shooting yesterday were confirmed officially here today. A detachment of the cavalry crossed International Avenue at 5 o'clock and rode one block into Nogales. Sonora, to clear the adobe houses of snipers. The first American military unit to cross the line was a troop of Negro cavalry under command of Captain Hungerford, 23 years old. Captain Hungerford was shot dead at the head of his troops. His mother and sister are in Nogales. The infantry followed the Negro cavalrymen, who, after dismounting on the Mexican side of the boundary line, rushed forward singing "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here." Editor's Note:—Whether its to charge Berlin, Mexico or Hell, you can count on the Negro soldier every time, and some day the prejudiced Southerners will learn that fact and accord Justice to this race that has always been unswerving in its loyalty to these United States. The recent Session of the Grand Lodge of United Brothers of Friendship which has just closed at Moberly, Missouri, was one of the most successful in the history of the Order, largely due to the initiative and personality of its splendid Grand Master, Dr. J. H. Williams, of this city, who has rapidly developed into one of the commanding figures of the race in this country. Last Spring when the President of the United States called for the presiding officers of the various fraternal organizations to meet him in conference he was the only representative of the race present, and was shown marked attention by Secretaries McAdoo and Baker and by the President himself. And he set a high mark to all fraternities throughout the country when in the name of his splendid organization he bought $10,000 worth of Liberty Bonds. Dr. Williams is a native son of Missouri, educated in the public schools of this state, and after finishing a medical course at Meharry University, taught school for several years in conjunction with his practice until his ability required a larger field and he came to Kansas City some years ago, where he has built up a wonderful practice and ranks os one of our foremost citizens. Dr. Williams grew up compartively in U. B. F. organizations, having been a member since a boy, and has been honored (on account of his peculiar ability to achieve success in all his undertakings) with many offices of responsibility and trust, now serving his fourth year in the highest office in the gift of the fraternity—Grand Master. As a slight token of their appreciation of his worth, Dr. Williams was presented by the Kansas City representatives to the Grand Lodge and Grand Temple last week with a beautiful diamond pin and also with an elegant and expensive handbag by the officers of the Grand Lodge. Through his efforts more newspaper space was given through the white press to the recent Grand Lodge Session than ever accorded a Negro organization in this state, and many compliments were showered upon him for his brilliant Annual address delivered to the Joint Assembly of the U. B. F.'s and S. M. T.'s. The fraternity is loth to dispense with the splendid services and valued experience of Dr. Williams and it is predicted by the wise ones that he will be elected to another very important office at the expiration of his term as Grand Master as a token of the appreciation in which he is held by the entire fraternity. "THE MEMPHIS BLUES." Irvin S. Cobb in Saturday Evening Post. Two days we stayed on there (with an American Negro regiment near the front), and they were two days of a superior variety of continuous black face vaudeville. There was the evening when for our benefit the men organized an impromptu concert featuring a quartet that would succeed on any man's burlesque circuit, and a troupe of buck and wing dancers whose equals it would be hard to find on the Big Time. There was the next evening when the band of forty pieces serenaded us. I think surely this must be the best regimental band in our army. Certainly it is the best one I have heard in Europe during the war. On parade when it played the "Memphis Blues" the men did not march; the music poured in at their ears and ran down to their heels, and instead of marching they literally danced their way along. As for the dwellers of the French towns in which this regiment has from time to time been quartered, they, I am told, fairly go mad when some ailuring, compelling ragtime tune is played with that richness of syncopated melody in it which only the black man can achieve; and as the regiment has moved on, more than once it has been hard to keep the unattached inhabitants of the village that the band was quitting from moving on with it. If I live to be a hundred and one I shall never forget the second night, which was a night of a splendid, flawless full moon. We stood with the regimental staff on the terraced lawn of the chief house in a half-deserted town five miles back from the trenches, and down below us in the main street the band played plantation airs and hundreds of Negro soldiers joined in and sang the words. Behind the masses of upturned dark faces was a ring of white ones where the remaining natives of the place clustered, with their heads wagging in time to the tunes. And when the band got to "Way Down Upon the Swanee River," I wanted to cry, and when the drum major, who likewise had a splendid barytone voice, sang, as an interpolated number, "Joan of Arc," first in English and then in excellent French, the villagers openly cried; and an elderly peasant, heavily bewhiskered, with the tears of a joyous and thankful enthusiasm running down his bearded cheeks, was with difficulty restrained from throwing his arms about the soloist and kissing him. Cognizant of the fact that this is the beginning of the closing year of the administration of the present Grand Master of the United Brothers of Friendship, a representative of the Sun made a special visit to the recent Grand Lodge at Moberly and interviewed many active and prominent members of both the U. B. F. and S. M. T. as to the possible successor to the distinguished Dr. J. H. Williams to the Grand Mastership of this wonderful order, and after carefully compiling their answer s and weighing their statements, some of which were couched conservatively, he is of the opinion that the next Grand Master of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten of Missouri and Jurisdiction will be the brilliant, dignified but unostentatious Dr. G. W. Brown of Kansas City, Mo Dr. Brown is another native Missouri, having been born on a farm in Platte county, where he grew to young manhood, educated in the and Wilson AL NEEDS HELP HOSPITAL NEEDS HELP On the verge of the opening of the new Wheatley-Provident Hospital which has been set by the managers for Sunday the 22nd day of September, when all the fraternal organizations, Women's Clubs, Building Laborers' Unions and Churches are to be invited to be present, the management finds itself confronted with a shortage of funds to complete the building, due to the fact that many subscribers have failed to pay their pledges.

He is now with Dr. Perry at the great Mayo Brothers' Hospital and Sanitarium at Rochester, Minn., where he is taking an intensive course in Surgery. He is the possessor of a beautiful home, a charming and accomplished wife, who is loved by all who know her and his family is one of the oldest and best in Missouri, his father, now deceased, having been not only a successful farmer but a well known Baptist minister. Dr. Brown has been a loyal and ardent supporter of Grand Master Williams and Past Grand Master Caston and has received much valuable instruction from these veterans of the fraternity.

By Mrs. F. J. McCullough, Omaha, Neb. The most brilliant affair ever witnessed in Omaha was the Carnival, given under the auspices of St. John A. M. E. and Zion Baptist churches, a gathering together that has spelled the word excellency in every respect. One of the features of the Carnival was the parade of "All Nations," which was viewed by thousands as it marched through the grounds, leaving the people spellbound and unwearied. The greatest feature of the Carnival was the Coronation of the Queen on Monday evening, the queen receiving the most votes being crowned and the defeated queen was given a gold medal. Miss Alena Bentley, one of Zion's most popular ladies, was chosen as Zion's Queen, and Miss Corine Thomas, who with her sweet, modest REV. W. C. WILLIAMS. who is even surpassing at St. John's in Omaha, Neb., the wonderful record he made while pastor of Ebenezer in this city. unselfish way has won her way into the hearts of all who know her, was St. John's Queen. Both performed their duty with dignity and grace and both deserve great credit. Miss Bentley was awarded the Crown and Miss Thomas the gold medal, due to a mistake in counting the money. The committees which had the affair under control deserve the utmost praise. The Rev. W. C. Williams, promoter of the Carnival, and Rev. W. F. Botts labored unceasingly to make this affair worth while, and it undoubtedly surpassed the expectations of these gentlemen, as it certainly surpassed the expectations of the crowd which thronged the grounds each night. The cause was a worthy one and worthily supported by Omahans. It is to be hoped those who trod the beautiful grounds amid the strains of sweet music and wandered through the spacious rooms felt fully repaid. The members of Zion and St. John's churches wish to thank all who assisted in making this affair a grand success.

J. J, Ingalls, Hyolutions is the progressive de- velopment from a lower to a higher plane; and maybe subjective or ob- jective, material or ideal. It may be conscious or unconscious, voluntary or unvoluntary; when conscious and voluntary, it implies effort and its ul timate end is culture. It may work silently as in inorganic matter, and the human soul; or maybe accompan. ied by violent upheaval as in voleanic eruptions and social, economic and political readjustments, The present world war is a power ful example of the latter tpye; and is an expression of civilization’s efforts to materialize the ideals of a new age. ‘Though its aims are largely political; yet the social and economic are sc intimately involved that world peace waits the crystalization of opinion a: to “after the war’ economic condi tions of the warring powers—‘indem nities” and “commercial embargoe: ete. Though actual conflict is thous and of milessremoved yet war is at ou very doors, in the air we breathe looks from each dead wall and win dow, is included in our every pur chase, an call our best and most loved from our bosoms and we find it ir our pay check. What is the meaning of it all What should if mean to the |race ? It is the cali of the twentieth Century to the earnest and strong and the knock of “Opportunity” at the door of the race man and woman, ‘The present inlustrial conditions arc unsurpassed by any period in our Na tional life. The needs of our Allies our own forces “over there” are task- ing the resources of this, the great- est agricultural and manufacturing country in the world. ‘The loss of foreign labor has creat- ed an. economic condition that spells “Opportunity” for the race man, wo- man and youth. The large movement of the industrial race men from the poorly paying Southern plantations to the Northern Industrial centers af- fording better incomes and living con- ditions is, I hope, but the beginning of @ new epoch in the economic en- franchisement of the race. A sub- stantial continuation of this racial migration will accomplish more in a few years toward securing “his” (real world democracy) than all the lives sacrificed in the Civil War or all the laws National and State have made in tifty years, ‘Tennessee, the Paris for spring and fall styles of lynching hastens to “or- ganize a sentiment” against such practices, but the increased price of iabor due the Northern migration is the most potent factor in the change of heart--when there is an “ice fam- ine” we value our ice greatly. For the past fifty years the race man's economic position has been “defen- sive’—a “mere odd jobs man,” white wash brash in hand, but in a trice he has become a very substantial part of the Nations’ “second line of de- ferise;” how well he plays -his part, the shipbuilding munition making records amply prove. As a well paid skilled workman, his economic posi- tion in the industrial world becomes “initiate;” as a loyal citizen, he 1s 100 per cent patriotic and has contri- buted liberally both in men and money. Our boys “over there” by their prowess and heroism are mak- ing the race admired abroad and ul- timately respected at home. "But what are they doing who are permitted to remain and share in this unparalleled economic prosperity, to profit by this wonderful initiative— mere youths earning $20.00 per week? What are we doing with our “war pro- fits?” Are we saving, at least, a part? But mere saving is not sufti- ciont—in adversity the savings are soon spent; but savings properly in- vested, produce an income that ulti- mately lead to competence. ‘The competence of the race men of our City represent wise investment rather than mere savings. Business stocks and real estate are some of the most profitable forms of investment. Business calls for astute acumen, executive ability and experienced at. tributes—the average individual does not possess. Real estate necessitates |an amount of capital within the com | mand of the few; while investment ir | stocks of proven worth are incerasing | future possibilities and demands neither large capital nor large busi |ness experience. * | Such an “Opportunity” is tendere¢ |the thoughtful raceman in the stock '}of the Square Deal Oil & Gas Co. of ‘| Kansas City, Mo., whose property i ‘|located in the heart of the midcontin ‘ent field immediately adjacent to the holdings of the Mid-Continent and the | Peoples’ Oil and Gas Companies—bis |Companies paying handsome divi |dends.

Many Western friends and acquaintances of Miss Marie Duvall Madre will be pleased to hear of her marriage to Mr. Jas. H. Marshall, the prosperous Shoe Manufacturer who has built up a great business in Washington, D. C. Miss Madre is one of the best known teachers in the Washington schools, a graduate of the Law department of Howard University, President of the Federation of Colored Womens' Clubs to the District of Columbia and for five successive terms President of the famous Bethel Literary and Historical Association. The wedding was held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church and was witnessed by a vast audience of friends. Bishop I. N. Ross performed the ceremony. The Colored population from Independence Avenue to Steptoe Avenue are impatiently awaiting the coming of their favorite Circus, the Sells-Floto shows which will be here Monday, Labor Day, September 2nd, where they will give two performances. They have a two-mile street parade which is said to be better than ever and every spectacle from "America" to the glowing pageant of the Goddess of Liberty welcoming the victorious Sammies on their return home. Will we be there? I guess yes, so will our brothers, sisters and cousins and aunts and children and grandchildren and all the other people in our neighborhood. WASTE. "Extravagance costs blood, the blood of heroes," says Lloyd-George. blood of heroes," says Lloyd-George. War savers are life savers. The sinews of war are gathered largely from thrift. The war perhaps can be won partly by stored-up resources. We must save out of the present products of labor. The British people had to learn, as we must learn, that goods and services must be saved by all. Saving must become a habit. For war is a battle of resources. Germany saves with efficiency because she saves scientifically. She conserves her resources. To waste in these times is to fight on the side of the Kaiser. Boni & Liverright announce for September publication "What Is The German Nation Dying For?" by Carl Ludwig Krause. This is a book written by a German in Germany—"at the peril of my life." It is a burning protest, a cry of pain and of shame at seeing his own people lend themselves to the work of barbarism, and to a savage attack upon civilization at the behest of their unscrupulous war lords. A by Prussia, found—merciless analysis of the character of the German people, as molded on direct observation. No severer condemnation has come from the pen of an allied writer. It is one of the most remarkable human documents/ of the war. Boni & Liveright announce that Arthur Gleason is collaborating with Paul U. Kellogg, editor of The Survey, in the book they are publishing in October, "British Labor and the War," which was formerly announced as being the sole work of Mr. Kellogg. This book will give the fullest account that has yet appeared of the war aims of British Labor and the determination of the British workers to be the dominating factor in their country in economic, social and political adjustment after the war. Mr. Gleason has just returned from England where he was present at the most recent Labor conference, and is well known as one of the most active workers in war relief, who has actually been not only in the front line trenches, but on many bloody battlefields. SERVED HIM RIGHT. Washington, D. C.—A few days ago while a woman of the race was on her way to work in one of the departments of the government here and was quietly seated in one of the street cars, an army officer, a southern "cracker," who came into the car deliberately stepped upon her feet. She asked him what he meant. He replied by striking her in the face, and added: "I am from the south, where we don't allow niggers to insult white people." Quick as a flash the young woman arose to her feet and threw her lunch in his face and kicked the bully with all her strength. Just then a man of the race stepped up and said to the brute from the south: "If you put your hands on that woman again I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget, as to what we do up this way with bullies who insult ladies, white or colorel." That caused the dirty coward to subside. Classified Wants and Rooms to Rent FOR RENT—Four room apartment; modern. 2517 Grove street. Call Bell phone East 488. WANTED AT ONCE. A GOOD STEADY BARBER.

A very splendid program was carried out in connection with a corner stone laying and basket meeting at Parkville, Sunday, August 18. The day was an ideal one. There were many visitors from towns nearby and everybody enjoyed the day. Baskets were well filled with, everything good to eat. Parkville has the reputation of according a welcome to strangers that does not ordinarily come from the average town. A stranger is not only welcome there, but he gets to eat the best food prepared by the best cooks. The C. M. E. Church, where the exercises were held, is a splendid rock building, neatly and artistically designed, a credit to the race. Rev. Warfield, the pastor, is a very able man and is doing a great work. The people stand behind him and work zealously. A more loyal people cannot be found anywhere. They sacrifice for the good of the church and race. Park Lodge, a Masonic organization, assisted by the Hon. Nelson Crews, past Grand Master, laid the corner stone. Much credit is due the master of this lodge, Mr. Lewis Nichols, and the secretary, Mr. Charles Brown, for the success of the undertaking. Past Masters Harry Miller, Patterson and S. W. Brown, master of Pritchard Lodge, were present and rendered valuable assistance. The address was delivered by the Hon. Mr. Nelson Crews. It was indeed a very splendid address, filled with the very best advice for his people. The speaker was at his best. He sowed seed in good soil and they will evidently bring forth good fruit.

The facts regarding the race riot at Camp Merritt, N. J., of August 17, in which it was reported in an interview with Col. J. A. Marmon, commanding officer of the camp, by Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. The morning papers of August 20 stated that the camp was closed to newspaper reporters and others seeking information regarding the disturbance but the Association, in keeping with its policy of aiding the government in allaying suspicion and preventing friction between the races, sent Mr White to obtain the facts in the case. These were given to him freely by Col. Marmon and show that the incident was no as serious as was at first supposed. On the night when the trouble occurred two colored soldiers were ejected from Y. M. C. A. No. 2 by two southern white soldiers, when their presence was resented by the southern white men, although there is no discrimination allowed in any of the Y. M. C. A. buildings, and the colored soldiers had a perfect right to be there. As they left the building a chair was thrown at them. Previous to this incident there had been one or two minor clashes between soldiers of both races who were quartered in adjacent sections of the camp, which necessitated both using the same general street. The white soldiers involved were from Mississippi, while the colored were from Camps Dodge, Taylor, Grant and Sherman. About half an hour after the ejection of the two soldiers from Y. M. C. A. No. 2, a white soldier was cut by a colored soldier. Contrary to press accounts, he was not badly cut nor has he died. Col. Marmon stated that his wounds were so trivial that it has been unnecessary for the wounded man to apply at a hospital for treatment, or this reason they have been unable to learn who the wounded man is, nor has it been possible to learn who the assailant is. Shortly after this occurrence, groups of soldiers of both races gathered in one of the camp streets and threats were passed. Fearing trouble, the guard was called out and orders were given to the men to disperse. The guard consisted of between thirty and forty men in charge of a sergeant. Standing at a short distance from the guard, officers of both the white and colored troops conferred as to the best method of preventing further trouble. A group of the colored troops were moving away in obedience to the command of the guard when suddenly, without a command being given, shots rang out and five of the colored men fell. The sergeant in command of the guard rushed in at once and locked up the guns to prevent further firing. One colored soldier was killed, four wounded, none of them seriously, and all will recover. The most seriously wounded of the four has a bullet wound in his groin and one of the fingers of his left hand is shot off, evidently by the same bullet. The man killed was shot in the back. The guns of the guards were im- mediately examined after the shoot- CARD OF THANKS. KANSAS CITY, KAN. Miss Alva Nuttal of 951 Everett avenue is seriously ill.

She was so bad we had to place her bed near a window so she could get her breath. One doctor said, 'Foor child, she is likely to fall dead any time.' A friend told me Dr. Miles Heart Remedy had cured her father, so I tried it, and she began to improve. She took a great many bottles, but she is spared to me today, a fat, rosy cheeked girl.

Enroute to Chillicothe we stopped at the now famous little village of LaClede, the boyhood home of General John J. Pershing. We visited his old homestead and then under the guidance or our old friend Warfield who was both Pershing's pupil and boyhood companion, we went down to the little old school house where he taught the Negro children and with a memory of his sacrifice and courage and a knowledge of his present greatness all of us took off our hats and gave three cheers for General Pershing.

As the American and French flags were raised at the celebration of Bastille day every man on the Ellipse took off his hat except the marines on and learned that no marine may take off his hat when he is wearing his belt. Being a sociable chap, glad of the chance to talk to so obviously a nice woman, he told of soldier life generally, until he came at last to the inside information that: "Every marine is his own chink." This explains for you why it is that some uniforms look so much niffier than others, from a laundry point of view. Also, it may account for a wise government's changing army blue for a color that won't show dirt. You have to know the reason of a thing to have proper respect for its value. A marine has to wash a uniform every day—and he has four, unless it may be more or less, for a listener gets the wires crossed now and then—and he uses a brush instead of a washboard, which saves wear and tear on the garments, to say nothing of his knuckles and immortal soul. So now you know what to do when tubbing time comes to help you win the war, and also—which is really more important—the lady of the glassy pink nails will find from this important document just why the marines kept on their hats. Woman Is Going to Insist on Tucks and Frills Woman Is Going to Insist on Tucks and Frills "FASHION hasn't worn cotton since the war. Everything is silk." The clerk said it to a mere everyday customer who had dared to mention petticoats. With the information went a couple of shrugs that told each was a broom-handle sister who insisted upon wearing her tucks and frills to the very beach of the River of Styx. And after that, at comforting intervals, came: A tremendously stout woman who didn't give a hang for straight fronts, but wore her contour as unconcernedly as if she were the first edition de Milo, diked off in spotty black lawn. A middle-aged woman with the sort of Roman chin that will insist upon what it wants until kingdom come, and one of the things the woman apparently wanted just then to the extent of possessing in all its glory was a white skirt showing lace inserts under blue flowered mull. There were others, but these will serve, so the customer's worry lines went out of business, and as woman must express herself or die she paused before a plaster lady in a store window—a passe plaster lady, chipped a trifle and clothed in a shopworn suit marked down. "Wax ladies may do as they blamed please, but you and I and the rest of us runs of the mill are going to stick to our coaties, even after the war, when kncklers come in fashion." And anybody who supposes that plaster lady failed to smile response is simply not acquainted with plaster ladies. Proof That Kind Act Is Not Always Appreciated AN AUTOMOBILE stood in front of a theater.

It seems the right thing always to do a kindly action offhand, but consider the case of one friendly man who lives up Capitol hill way: Being a stranger here for responsible war work, he naturally gets a bit lonely for oldtime friends and associations, but being also a wholesome and buoyantly healthful person, soul and body, takes all the pleasures that come his way and always does his best to pass them on. The other afternoon his car was at the curb, and, as it was inconvenient just then for the friend in the house to go riding, he humored the children next door who had been begging him for pennies, cones and the like, by taking two of them for a ride. When he returned after a short spin it was supposed that was all there was to it, but, dear me, no! The mother objected to a strange man's taking her children in his car. Possibly Wartime Conditions Brought This About HE WAS the happiest man in Washington. That's a pretty broad statement, but he said it himself, and he ought to know.

A patriotic young lady, who is going to heaven when she dies, provided she takes as good care of her soul as of her glassy pink finger nails, objected to the omission, but as no one paid the least attention to her, that was all there was to that—except: A woman who happened to be standing next a uniformed youngster on camp leave inquired into the matter and learned that no marine may take o Being a sociable chap, glad of the woman, he told of soldier life general information that: "Every marine is his This explains for you why it is he than others, from a laundry point of o Also, it may account for a wise g color that won't show dirt.

Riding Togs for Youthful Wearer Copyright Baldwyn's Underwood The following account, taken from the Red Cross Bulletin, makes plain the way in which the Red Cross of America is helping the women and children of France: The American Red Cross has placed at the disposal of General Petain, commander in chief of the French armies, the sum of 5,650,000 francs ($1,130,000) for distribution among the sick and "reforme" French soldiers and their needy families. It extends its aid to the repatriated children coming in convoys from occupied France and Belgium by way of Evian-les-Bains. Four thousand children have been examined and nearly 1,000 treated at the American Red Cross hospital where also acute and contagious cases are treated. More than 16,000 have received dispensary treatment, and those in need of convalescent care or those suffering from tuberculosis are sent to the Red Cross hospital near Lyon. The thousands of old folk, women and children without homes, who leave Evian each week for the various departments to which they are designated, find there the representatives of the American Red Cross. There are more than fifty distributed in forty-four departments, who take part in the work of rehabilitation, supplying furniture, clothing, fuel and food. In Paris, twenty-six houses for the lodging of refugees have been turned over to the bureau. These will take care of 700 families, or 3,850 individuals. The Red Cross furnishes the necessary requisites and in certain cases advances money to cover the expenses of construction. A refuge of the American Red Cross at Toul houses 466 young children and their mothers who have come out of the bombarded villages, while the means furnished by the Red Cross have made possible the opening of a maternity hospital at Chalons in which 600 babies have been born since the beginning of the war. Riding Togs for Whatever accomplishments or sports are to be cultivated in our girls, their training for them should begin early. Riding, swimming, tennis, walking, climbing, music and languages—add so much to the joy of life that every girl is entitled to a chance at some of them. While the girl is growing up is the time for her first instruction and for the really tedious practice which a knowledge of music and languages compels. Timidity is easy to overcome in the young. It is especially sensible to insist on having children taught to swim and ride, and girls excel when given a chance in these sports. A glance at the habit of the smartly clad little miss shown in the picture above reveals that her habit follows closely the summer-time habits worn by her elders. The fad for puttees in place of high-top boots has extended their use to the youngsters, and washable cloths—heavy linens and Palm Beach cloth particularly—make the best choice of fabrics for breeches and coats. It is only in certain details that there is a difference between this habit and those made for grown-ups. The coat is less trim in lines than those cut for developed figures. The soft blouse with turn-over collar and bow tie provides about the only appropriate manner of dressing the neck, and the high-crowned visored cap, fit- --- and comfort to the babies of France in thirty-seven different posts, nine of which are the "postes sanitaires" established in Paris where schoolchildren whose mothers' are engaged in war work may get their meals. Work is also going on in the five villages selected for intensive reconstruction. The houses damaged by shell-fire and bombs have been rendered habitable, barns and other farm buildings have once more been made fit for service. A subvention of 50,000 francs ($10,000) has been set aside for the planting of 40,000 fruit trees in the orchards destroyed in the departments of the north. Supplies for the refugees have been made direct, through the medium of the 78 organizations and the 28 local branches. A total of 74,372 articles of clothing, 257 infant layettes and 30,150 meters of goods have been distributed, as well as sewing machines, sewing materials, food and medicines. A Clothes Mandate. Owing to the necessity for conserving materials and labor, and to keep the ever-rising cost of garments down to a minimum, fashion authorities are not authorizing or recommending radical changes for the autumn. Therefore the silhouette will be straight and youthful; colors will be restricted to the smallest possible number and for street wear will be dark and rich in tone, with much fur trimming, fringe and embroidery. One hears that very few capes are smart unless they are touched up with a checked or plaid fabric. And capes, you know, are as smart as jackets, and will continue to be so through the autumn. They are worn over separate skirts and cuirass blouses, or short Chinese tunics, and they have that swagger military air that comes from their careless arrangement across the shoulders. All of the new ones have some kind of waistcoat arrangement which holds them closely over the bust and waistline. Youthful Wearer ting snugly, is the happiest choice in headwear for a small girl. A habit of this kind need not fear comparison with others when the youngest horse-women ride their ponies at the horse show or county fair. There ought to be blue ribbons for all of them—to reward some particular excellence in which each one is sure to exceed all the others. Julia Bottomley Roman Belts. Roman belts have been revived with the colored jewelry; even the old-time sashes with deep knotted fringe are coming to the fore. The Roman belts and matching hat bands look very smart with white golf togs, the blouse of which is fastened with jade buttons, and the hat with jade pins. Much fancy jewelry is worn in the daytime with the wash dresses, always harmonizing with the gown. Or when white is worn, with the hat and vell. Face Powder to Be Scarce. The French government has prohibited the manufacture of face powder from rice, an official report stating that 100,000 soldiers' rations of rice are wasted daily on women's powder puffs. INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE CITIES All He Wanted to Do Was to Get to the Camp All He Wanted to Do Was to Get to the Camp DETROIT.—"Say, boss. kn yo' gib me a pass to hop a freight fo' Camp Custer?" queried a lanky negro of Officer Lambert of the A. P. L. force at the bureau of delinquents, municipal building. "What makes you think you have only one lung?" asked the officer. "Cause every time-Ah git into a warm place I spit black, Ah do." "What have you been doing for a living?" was the next question. "Ise been shovelin' coal. Ah done had fo' dollars and seventy-five cents de udder day when I cum from Alabam and now Ah only got fifteen cents lef.", Lordy, dis am a expensive place to live. Mah room done cos' me a dollar and I Jes' had thirty-five cents worth of grub and Ise sure up, boss." "Well, Charlie," said Mr. Lambert, "we have already sent 1,200 of you boys to camp and pretty soon you can go along, too." "Wha'sat?" exclaimed the darkey, "1,200 colored boys gone to camp? Ah don't cahr no mo'. Jes' gib me dat pass, boss. Ise going to hab lots of money jes' soon as Ihes ful dat camp." "What are you going to do, Charlie; shoot crap?" "Well, Ah uster shoot a little crap, boss." This is one of the bright lights that creep into the bureau of delinquents occasionally and dispel the gloom that too often hangs over the office. Another colored man who was asked if he was going to enlist in the navy replied: "Not if I kin help it, boss. Ise willin' to go to war, but when Ah falls Ah wants to fall on sumpkin' solid. Ah does." Didn't Mind Being "Pinched," but Barred Hoodoo SPOKANE, WASH.—While her husband, whom she accuses of associating with white women, was sitting in the kitchen of their home calmly eating a watermelon Detectives Fordyce and Markwood found Fanny Hopkins, colored. the detectives hurried to the scene and found a crowd collected in front of the house in anticipation of a melee when she was arrested. She is noted in the neighborhood for her numerous fights with officers on previous occasions. The audience was not disappointed, for the woman, who weighs nearly 200 pounds, threw herself on the ground and fought and kicked with all her strength. It was necessary for Fordyce and Markwood to summon Emergency Officer Dan Phelan to assist them. At sight of Phelan the woman shouted: "There's my baby," and quietly accompanied him to the patrol wagon. She was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and drunkenness.

With Husband Disabled by Broken Leg She Employed Unique Signal to Bring Help That Might Save Him. The following would be almost unbelievable if the facts were not the talk of the community and if it it were not substantiated by the various participants. In Penobscot bay, three miles from Islesboro, is a little island known as Mark island, owned by Preston Player, a State street broker of Boston, and he there maintains a big summer place. The keeper is Ralph Collomore of Lincolnville, who in the winter, with his wife and two children, makes his home on the island in a little cottage. On Wednesday, January 23, he took the boat and started for Islesboro. Three hours were taken in making the trip of three miles by water. He came back and upon landing and pulling the boat up onto the shore on Mark island he pulled the boat over onto him, pinning him down and breaking his leg. His wife kept looking for her husband's return and finally, attracted by his groans, found him pinned under the boat. She is a frail woman but with him hanging onto his injured limb, she managed to drag him up to the cottage. There with the aid of a leather wallet and sticks she set the leg the best she could. There they were practically isolated and help was needed badly. Mrs. Collamore, full of pluck and determination to get help, went to the Player summer home. There she managed to set aging the electric dynamo by which the place is lighted. She turned on every light in that big house and put on also a red light. The lights were run all day Thursday and not until 5:45 Thursday afternoon was the light noticed at Dark Harbor. Telephone calls were sent to the naval station and the tug Zizania started to Dark Harbor to see what was the trouble. Dark Harbor was reached about 9:30 Thursday night. There no one knew what was the trouble at Mark Island. The Zizania cut her way through the ice, in some places 8 and 10 inches thick, for three miles to the island. Captain Sherman and nine men went ashore. They made their way to the lighted house and there found no one. Groping along in the darkness they were frightened by the sudden uprising of a flock of turkeys from a tree. Then they came upon the cottage in total darkness with the door open but no signs of life about. Going in they found the courageous little woman asleep, the injured man half asleep and both children slumbering. The tug went back to Dark Harbor and there found a doctor who was brought back to Mark island. The Zizania remained at Mark island until four four clock Friday morning when the injured man was attended to. Bangor Commercial. Britain's Indians. The Indians in the British army on the western front, notably the Sikhs, that highly disciplined military force from British India, have little in common with the American red men. They come from the other side of the earth; they are sons of a deeply religious sect, and for 50 years or more have been an important factor in the British dominion of the far East. They are tall, well-built, handsome men, most of them with beards, and in perfection of drill and military bearing they are not excelled by any troops on the western front. But while their methods of fighting are quite dissimilar, the Sikh fighting force being a well-trained military machine while the American Indian is a flexible unit, there is one thing in which they are very much alike. As a humorous English writer—Punch and its punssters still live—nuts it: "I have had an opportunity to study both the Indians of the East and the Indians of the West, and while they are very dissimilar in most things, when it comes to courage, I may be excused for saying that it is Sikhs of one and a half dozen of the other!" Stenographers to Go to France. A unit of 25 expert women stenographers, who will wear a distinctive uniform, is now being recruited in the United States for overseas service. This group will be assigned to the quartermaster's corps of the American expeditionary forces and to the headquarters of the staff of General Pershing. Each applicant for service must be an experienced stenographer. She will be required to own in her own equipment four uniforms (two for winter and two for summer service). She must pass a physical examination, and will be engaged for the period of the war. The salary now stated is $1,000 a year with the additional allowance of $4 a day for the first month and $2 a day for the remainder of the time. The Upper Class "So you wish to marry my daughter?" said the proud parent. "Yes, sir," replied the young man. "How much money are you making?" asked the governor. "Forty dollars a week," was the reply. "Forty dollars a week! Why my daughter can make that in a mutilions plant and not work overtime." Where Liberty Wa Born in France W B Copyright: Underwood & Underwood A TALL shaft today marks the spot in France where liberty was born. This shaft marks the site of the Bastille, that black medieval prison which was demolished 120 years ago by revolutionists who, like the Americans at Lexington, caring more for liberty than life, unor- organized and poorly armed, dared to challenge the tyranny of a king. The stirring events which culminated in the taking of France's fortress of feudalism were in motion early in July, 1789, and two great characters in the history of France and the United States were in the French capital at that very time. The Marquis de Lafayette, after consulting with Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, presented to the national assembly a bill of rights. Had the French acted ten days sooner, as there were many indications that it might, a common birthday might now be observed by the sister nations. The traditions of the American colonies and those of France differed so widely that to sense the true meaning of the Bastille it is necessary to trace the origin of that gloomy pile in the Faubourg St. Antoine. For centuries the edifice was the sign of the divine right of kings. Before the storm of the French revolution broke there were 50 such prisons in France, for bastille signifies merely a fortified building. As the years went by so infamous became that one which stood on the banks of the Seine and was usually known as the Castle of Paris that it took unto itself the all-embracing title of "The Bastille." Like the institution of monarchy, of which it was the symbol, the structure was the development of centuries. The original edifice consisted of a pair of towers, and was a part of the stone barrier against the medieval Huns. Charles V about 1369 commissioned Hugues Aubriot, then provost of Paris, to enlarge the old fortification. Aubriot, having in mind the extension of the teudal power, made it both fortress and jail. Various additions were made by the kings of France. As a fort it was considered impregnable, as the main walls at their base were 40 feet thick, and beneath the battlements, 100 feet above the pavement, the light struggled into the cells through narrow windows piercing nine feet of solid masonry. Cannon were set in the deep embrasures, and there were portholes from which archers and crossbowmen once sped the shafts of death. To the peasantry and the common people the Bastille was all that was formidable and forbidding. A grim and mysterious stronghold, it earned year by year its evil name. Kings with power of life and death over their subjects used it as the instrument with which to punish all who opposed them. They spared neither the high nor the low. In the days of absolutism the monarch could commit prisoners to the Bastille without any other process of law than a warrant which became known as a lettre de cachet. This document, bearing the royal seal, was often in blank. Many lettres de cachet were obtained by unprincipled persons who either used them to punish their enemies or sold them to those who had sinister ends in view. The monstrous abuses which grew out of this practice were a blot on European history. Courtiers, charlatans and courtesans found a way to sate their grudges. The life or the liberty of no man in all the kingdom was secure. Even in the eighteenth century notable personages might be thrown into prison because some relatives coveted their estates. In the reign of Louis XV 150,000 lettres de cachet were issued. His Great Column of Freedom Marks Spot In Paris Where the Awesome Bastile Once Stood THE FAN successor, Louis XVI, credited with being an amiable ruler, sent forth 14,500 on their missions of oppression. It might well have been written over the entrance of the Bastille, "He who enters here, leaves hope behind." The place realized the darkest visions of Dante's Inferno. Separated from the streets of the city by a moat 125 feet wide and 25 feet deep, and accessible only by a drawbridge, it was like an Isle of the Dead. In its noisome dungeons abominable cruelties were visited upon unfortunate prisoners, who were condemned to the rack and the boot and the wheel, or chained to pillars and flogged. There were circular cells with conical tops, in which the inmates could neither stand erect, nor sit, nor lie. The roll of the sufferers of the Bastille is a long one. Various degrees of punishment were meted out to the prisoners, according to the whims of the sovereign. Some of them, like the Man with the Iron Mask, for a time a prisoner in the Bastille, were treated with consideration. They had bountiful meals, and were assigned to rooms in which there was a fair amount of light, and were even permitted to walk in the garden. They had scant enjoyment, however, for they never knew when they would be doomed to the fate of their less favored fellows. Men lived 50 and even 60 years in the Bastille, until they lost all connection with the world beyond the moat. In that world toward the close of the eighteenth century mighty changes came to pass. The line of the Louis had so impoverished the nation that the national credit was imperiled. When Louis XVI came to the throne a debt of $800,000,000 had been piled up, and it continued to pyramid. The common people had been footing the bill, and now came the proposal, strange in those days, that the nobility and the clergy, the privileged classes, should share the burden with the Third Estate. It was a day of questioning and hearkening and soul searching. The words of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot were sinking deep into the national consciousness. Hence assemblies to talk over these proposals. In vain were the prisons filled with agitators and the Voltaires sent into exile. The storm was gathering. If the monarchy was to be sustained in its extravagance and feudalism to be upheld the mailed fist must do its work. But there was more to deal with than murmuring serfs and a handful of encyclopedists. The soldiers of France, who were expected to uphold the old regime, showed that they were unwilling to kill their fathers and brothers like dogs. The people of Paris ransacked their city until they found arms or the material for making pilkes. The time had come when the rights of men should prevail, and men who are starving under tyranny are easily recruited. As the forces of the new order grew they thought with one accord of the hated symbol of that galling oppression which was the cause of all their suffering. The cry "To the Bastille!" rose from a hundred thousand throats. Men and women armed with weapons as effective as popguns would be against a dreadnaught moved against the ancient stronghold. Bullets patterned and flattened against the massive walls. The defense was only half hearted, and the French guards on the battlements were soon waving flags of truce. A force greater than all the munitions ever made was at work—a public sentiment which had become a resistless torrent. Delauay, the governor of the Bastille, trembled before it and surrendered. Down came the creaking drawbridge and across it rushed the infuriated citizenry. The tide flowed in and out of the dim corridors and searched out the narrow cells. As soon as there was the semblance of government arrangements were made for removing the Bastille. The work took the contractor nearly a year, although he employed a large force. There was a thriving business in its relics, for hundreds of the blocks of stone were carved into models of the prison and sold as mementoes. Locks and bolts were distributed all over the world as souvenirs. Although the demolition of the Bastille itself proceeded, the thing for which it stood was not so easily swept aside. Feudal Germany and Austria blocked the road to liberty. We of this day, with the perspective of a century and more of history and belonging to a nation which is even now in arms against the powers which sought to folst the yoke of serfdom once more upon the THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1918. people of France, may see more clearly than even the able publicists of that period that the excesses of the French revolution grew out of desperation. The Huns, as now, were spinning the webs of intrigue. The Teuton, then as now, living still in the middle ages, domineering, mean and sordid, was determined that France should return to slavery. Louis XVI, under the influence of his beautiful wife, Marie Antoinette, was dominated by Austria. His court was filled with German spies and Prussian emissaries. When he found that he could not conquer his people with French artillery he pretended to accede to their demands and waited for the help of the German war lords. Escaping from Paris, he had got within a few miles of the border before he was intercepted at Varennes. It was his intent to get Germany to send her armies to compel his subjects to accept his feudal rule. Nations become accustomed to changes of government slowly when they have been ground down under the iron heels of despotism. Reckless and blind as was their king, the people of France felt that in some way he was their father and portector and that it would be a calamity if he should turn his face from them. In the months which followed when these children of the new order, knowing far less how to govern themselves than Louis and Marle Antolinae knew how to rule wisely over them, found their country invaded by Austrians and Prussians they gave way to their rage. They had been willing to retain even so poor a king as a constitutional ruler, and he had already put upon his head the red cap. Had he been firm enough of purpose to resist the intrigues of the central powers he might still have saved his face—and his head. Those were the days when Teuton tyranny was everywhere spreading its nets and snares. George I of England was elector of Hanover, speaking German on the British throne and knowing no English, addressing his ministers in dubious Latin. George II could talk lately in the tongue of the people whom he professed to govern. George III was more German if possible than his predecessors. They had realized that Great Britain had a constitutional government and left affairs largely to the ministers. He, an exemplar of a middle age outlook, took the advice of his German mother, "George, be a king." His obstinacy lost to Great Britain her American colonies. A German, he gave aid and comfort to France in seeking to make her yield to the demands of her Bourbon king. His kinsman, the duke of Brunswick, leading Austria and Prussian armies, invaded France and served notice upon her National Guard that they were liable to the death of traitors. In their exasperation, the citizens of an impoverished nation then guillotined the king who was taking no steps to meet the foreign foe and was waiting the oncome of the Hun to subject them again to Bourbon tyranny. Hence the Commune and the Reign of Terror and those dark hours in which a nation in the throes was endeavoring to adjust itself to the problems which followed the overthrow of the Bastille. France came up out of much tribulation into a republican form of government. She was enjoying peace and plenty when the Hun again crossed her borders to impose upon her a yoke which is the same as that for which stood the dark stronghold on the Seine long since destroyed. JAPANESE DIFFICULT TO LEARN. To learn to read ordinary Japanese—to say nothing of the luxury of being able to appreciate the nuances of style in Japanese composition—is the laborious effort of long years for Japanese themselves, writes "A Student of Japanese" in the New East (Tokyo). A Japanese schoolboy has to take lessons in penmanship for a matter of nine or eleven years and even then he may find himself hopelessly stumped by an oddity in an ordinary post card. Small wonder, then, that the attempts of Westerners to learn Japanese in their own lands have been rather heartbreaking and profitless work on the whole. Yet even so, some small measure of success has been attained now and then. The old Jesuits had Japanese to teach them in their great seminary at Macao, as some of the Spanish orders had later on at Manila in the seventeenth century. (By Rev, P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER SOME LAWS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD. LESSON TEXTS—Luke 6:30-38; 21:1-4. GOLDEN TEXT—Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, it is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35. DEVOTIONAL READING-II Corinthians 9:6-15. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS-Luke 16:9; Romans 12:8; II Corinthians 9:6-15; Hebrews 13:16; Ezra 1:24; I Chronicles 29:1-5. The principles of ethics which shall prevail in the earth when Jesus Christ shall be king are entirely different from those of the world. The worldly spirit always inquires as to what gain will accrue from an action or service. Its policy is doing good for the sake of getting good. Those who have been made partakers of the divine nature, who are really subjects of the kingdom, do good because they have the nature and spirit of God, not because they expect something in return. I. Give to Every Man That Asketh of Thee (v. 30). This does not mean that any request that may be made by the idle, greedy and selfish should be granted. Only evil would result from such indiscriminate and unregulated giving. Such benevolence would foster idleness and selfishness. Oftentimes the worst thing you can do for a man is to give him money. The drunkard will only spend it for more drink; the gambler will continue his dissipation. The meaning then is, give to the one asking the thing which he needs. The man in poverty needs to be given a way to earn his living, rather than to be given money without the necessity of labor. There is that in the human heart which refuses charity, and cries out for a means to honestly gain a livelihood. II. Of Him That Taketh Away Thy Goods, Ask Them Not Again (v. 80). "Ask" here means demand. It doubtless forbids the forcible demanding of the return of that which has been taken from one. III. Do to Other Men as You Would That They Should Do Unto You (vv. 31-34). This ethic puts life's activities on the highest possible ground. He does not say, refrain from doing that which you would not like to be done to you, as even Confucius taught; but to positively make the rule of your life the doing to others as you would wish them to do unto you. Loving those who love us, doing good to those who do good to us, and lending to those from whom we hope to receive, is just what all the sinners of the world are doing. The child of the kingdom of Christ is to be different. IV. Love Your Enemies (v. 35). That which is natural to the human heart is to hate the enemy. To love in the real sense means to sincerely desire the good of even one's enemy and willingness to do anything possible to bring that good. Such action is only possible to those who have been born again. Christ loved those who hated him. He was willing even to die for his enemies. V. Lend, Hoping for Nothing Again (v. 35). This is what the Heavenly Father is constantly doing. He is kind and gracious unto the unthankful and the wicked. He sends his rain and sunshine upon the unjust and sinners. He makes fruitful the toll of those who blaspheme his name. He thus does because it is his nature to so do. VI. Be Merciful (v. 36). The example for the imitation of the disciple is the Heavenly Father. VII. Judges Not (v. 37) To judge does not mean the placing of just estimates upon men's actions and lives, for, "By their fruits ye shall know them." The tree is judged by the fruit it bears. The thorn tree does not bear figs, nor the apple tree bear grapes. Our only way of discerning the character of men and women is their actions. That which is condemned is censorious judgment—the impugning of motives. VIII. Condemn Not (v. 37). This means that we should not pass sentence upon men for their acts, for to their own master they stand or fall (Rom. 14:4). The real reason why such action is not warranted is that the bias of our hearts and the limitation of our judgments render it impossible to righteously and intelligently pass judgment. Those who forgive shall be forgiven. The one who has realized the forgiving mercy of God will be gracious and forgiving toward others. XI. Liberality Determined by What Is Left (Luke 21:1-4). The rich cast into the treasury much, but it was from their abundance. The poor widow cast in all that she had; there was nothing left. God estimates a gift by what one has left, not by the size of the gift. To give the widow's mite is to give all. For the millionaire to give the widow's mite would mean for him to give his millions. Genius and Taste. To say nothing of its holiness or authority the Bible contains more specimens of genius and taste than any other volume in existence.—Landor M What Expert Designers Are Making 1930 Now is the day of all sorts of service suits—overeaters, war overalls, coat and breeches, mountain suits and others that mark the departures of women into new fields of work and into new kinds of convenient clothes for outdoor and even for indoor wear. Meantime the reliable and time-honored gingham house dress is a service suit that shows no sign of losing its popularity. Gingham and gingham patterns in other materials lead in point of popularity—percale and some heavier cotton; chambrays and cotton crepes—even printed lawns and volles have a place in this considerable company of house dresses and designs are varied to suit the ages of wearers and the sort of service the dress is to give. In the picture a gingham dress designed for a matronly wearer is equal to all the emergencies of an average day at home. It is a one-piece dress easily put on, has jacket fronts on the bodice with vest and collar in white figure. There are pockets at the side that prove to be both practical and decorative. They are faced with pique and What Expert Design The advantage of leaving the designing of children's clothes to specialists in that line of work is apparent. They are less apt to make mistakes than other people are, and only the efforts in which they are successful get beyond the designing room and into the workrooms of manufacturers of children's frocks and other garments. Early in July the advance guards of the new styles for fall make their appearance in the large shops and department stores, and mothers with foresight investigate them, either to buy for the coming season or to become familiar with whatever new style features are introduced. Those who have their children's clothes made at home can gather from these early displays ideas worth copying. The question of economy is one that the individual must settle for herself. The simplest cotton dresses can probably be bought ready made as cheaply as they can be made at home, but the better grades in cotton or wool turned back in two tabs fastened down with buttons. Old-fashioned rickrack braid has come back into favor as a trimming for house dresses and is also used on afternoon frocks of organelle. Combinations of plain and plaid gingham are and always will be good in dresses of the kind shown above. For kitchen work designers make shorter sleeves and plain waistls joined to skirts with wide belts. The frock illustrated will do for marketing. Because gingham is used for aprons and house dresses is no reason to infer that it is not made up into frocks for other wear. Hand-some gingham frocks, made up with organdle collars and cuffs or with fine Swiss embroideries are taking the place of silks in many a war-time wardrobe. They do not suffer by comparison, for they are smart, with a flavor of their own. Double Knot With Loops. Fasten your belt in the back with a double knot with loops. gners Are Making or silk are considerably higher in price than for several seasons past and the chances are that there is a considerable saving in making them at home. The pretty model pictured above, for a girl of eight to twelve or thirteen years, is suited to any of the materials used for the dressier frocks for little girls. It has single box platis across the front and back of the skirt with pockets at each side on the unplated portions. The bodice simulates a little jacket with tabs at the front that extend over the flat plain belt. This belt is in a contrasting color and might be made of silk for a wool dress. A little embroidery in the simplest designs embellishes the collar, cuffs, pockets and tabs, done in floss the color of the belt.

The termination of the pastorate of no minister of the city occasions more sincere regret than that of Rev. F. D. Wells, who is closing up his fifth and last year at Bethel Church and who will hold the final Quarterly meeting of the year tomorrow. All of Kansas City, and especially African Methodists, should be there to testify by their presence their appreciation of the remarkable and inspiring work done by this stalwart young leader of the race and bid him God's speed and the same continued degree of success at his next appointment. Since coming here Dr. Wells has graduated as Valedictorian from the Theological Department of Western University. He is president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, Deputy Commissioner of Negro Boy Scouts of Missouri and Kansas and is Vice Chairman of the Negro Commission to Superintend the erection of the Jackson County Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes. Before coming to this city, Dr. Wells built at Moberly, Mo., the most beautiful and modern church in the North Missouri Conference. And when he came to Bethel he found eighteen members, which he has increased to 286, paying off a large part of the cumbersome debt and preparing plans for a new modern and commodious House of Worship. In every public movement he has been a prominent factor. Kansas City can ill afford to lose a strong and popular leader like Rev. Wells and many African Methodists are sincerely hoping that the good Bishop may see his way to give Kansas City the continued use of his splendid ability and leadership. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH.
