NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE VOLUME X. NUMBER 2. Atlantic City, August 24.—What is regarded as of the most significant events of the year and an epocal one in the annals of the race is the Nineteenth Annual Session of the National Negro Business League which met in this city this week beginning August 21 and ended Friday evening with one of the most notable social functions of the season among Afro-Americans. The outstanding features of the sessions were the addresses of welcome by Governor W. E. Edge, Mayor Bachrach, Dr. R. R. Moton and Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. In devilering the welcome address on behalf of the State of New Jersey he spoke of the great progress made by the race in the face of the blind prejudice which confronts it. He said that the attaining of education first was the stepping stone to branch out and become a par of the business of he country. He gave a clear definition of democracy and said that it must be emphasized at home as well as abroad. Continuing he said: "We are talking democracy and writing about it but getting further and further away from it. We are going to understand one another better. We have among the troops white and colored and men of every nationality, now all Americans, of course. We have nearly every race thrown together and properly so. They are going to be more tolerant of one another's viewpoint when they come home to take up again their civic responsibilities. I hope then that this class prejudice will be eliminated for all times. (Prolonged applause and cheers.) MAYOR BACHARACH. Mayor Bacharach followed the Governor. After paying a high tribute to the Negro as a citizen he dwelt upon the men of color who readily responded to the present draft and also when a call for 20 or more men was made 90 or more always responded. His rendering of the poem entitled, "A Little Service Flag," moved many of the visitors to tears. His gift of the key of the city to the league was greeted with applause which lasted five minutes. President Napier in accepting the ey said that since the organization of the league, in its annual sessions from city to city, Atlantic City leads, as this I she first key that has ever been presened to the National Negro League. Dr. Morton's Response. With his native witticism and eloquent manner of reaching his audience, Dr. R. R. Morton, the recognized leader of his race, ably responded to the welcome address of Gov. Edge and Mayor Bacharach. He singled out inspiring facts revealing the intense loyalty of his race and cited the thrilling events of the battle of Carrizal. He gave a plain interpretation of what democracy meant and asserted that the Negro was unswervingly loyal to his country and expected his contribu...tion to bring him and things that have been long deferred. Mis masterly presentation of certain phases of the Negro's life and his constant devotion to his country despite his proscriptions and his inspiring optimism combined with his happy way of reaching his applauding HOSPITAL NEEDS YOU. CAN YOU AFFORD TO LET YOUR PLEDGE GO UNPAID? Wheatley-Provident Hospital and its Board of Directors are having the most strenuous times in its career trying to be ready for the opening Sunday, September 22. Drs. Perry, Lambright, Unthank, Prof. Lee and The Sun are working like Trojans to raise funds to keep the work going on and yet it is a lamentable fact that quite a few individuals, many of whom are prominent in the social and business affairs of the city, have not paid their subscriptions. The following pay- audience demonstrated that he has the confidence of the leaders. Hon. J. C. Napier, president of the body, ably presided and was assisted by Charles Banks, of Mount Bayon, Miss., and Chas. H. Brooks, of Philadelphia. His annual message was brim full of interesting facts and greatly inspired the vast audience. The message brought by Captain Spingarn and eloquently accentuated by Dr. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., who also elicited unstinted applause from the audience that filled Fitzgerald's Auditorium, in which most of the sessions were held, was one fraught with facts of vital import to the race and nation. It was clearly demonstrated at this session that the mantle of the illustrious Dr. Washington has fallen upon Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskekee Institute. Every time that he spoke he was given the kind of ovation which showed that his leadership is appreciated by the masses of the races and leaders of the race from every section of the country. Hon. Emmett J. Scott in beginning the symposium on 'Winning the War' made one of the best patriotic addresses that has been delivered in this city. Throughout his memorable address he reached his vast audience and aroused a kind of enthusiasm that is needed for the winning of the War. Mr. Scott in his report called attention to the fact that in he firs registration 737,626 negroes were registered out of a total of 9,586,506; that is to say 7.69 per cent of the total registration of June 5, 1917, was composed of colored men called by the Provost Marshal General's office up to and including July 15, 1918, was 227,541, while the total number called to August 8, 1918, was 311,308. He spoke in detail of what the colored people of the country are doing to help wen the war, mentioning, among other things that some forty colored chaplains are now serving in the National Army along with one thousand colored officers who have been commissioned as captains, first and second lieutenants in the nited States Army and in the Medical Reserve Corps. War for Liberty. In his address he said the negro in the present war for liberty and worldwide democracy was proving to be a noble and inspiring figure. The recent exhibition of independent valor on the part of negroes in France served to bring anew to the people of this country and the world at large the worth of the negro as a factor in the productive and protective forces of he republic. Two divisions of negro troops are now in France with eight combat regiments to be trained in various cantonments in the country. He called attention to he authorization by he War Department of the colored Red Cross Nurses and spoke of the opportunities that are being provided for the technical training of colored men in many institutions of learning. Among the many distinguished speakers and visitors were Judge Robt. Terrell, Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics of the Department of Labor; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, A. U. Craig, of the Food Administration; T. M. Campbell, District Agent of the Extension Work in Alabama; Dr. J. W. E. Bowens, Prof. W. T. B. Williams, C. C. Spaulding, and a number of bishops and Major J. T. Tandy, the noted architect. ments in full have been made this week: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moten, Horace Bishop. Once more, won't you do your duty and help us finish the hospital? Mr. George Stewart and Mr. Emmett Hughes spent the week-end in Topeka visiting relatives, returning to Kansas City Saturday evening. Mr. Stewart left for Chicago Saturday night and Mr. Hughes left Sunday night for a visit in Guthrie, Okla. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1918. M. DR. J.

LEE SOUNDS A WARNING TO NEGLIGENT PARENTS. The Sun Spoke of This Evil Some Months Ago, But Some Parents Will Not Take Heed Until Too Late. We are doing the worst thing in the world when we neglect even the most trivial thing that may lead to the guidance and protection of our girls and boys. Society is not enlightened and parents are not intelligent if they fail to throw every safe guard around the children of a community in their work or play. In order to prevent boys from hurtful deviltry and girls from a certain sly wantonness, calls for a public system of chaperoning at the place wherein these things are flagrantly committed. An indifference apparently manifested by those who should be most concerned is probably the cause of the following complaint: The Paseo at the Bath House, between 15th street and the Parade Way, furnishes the scene of many a scandal and crime among a host of young people. Children who should long have been spanked and put to bed are seen roving and lolling in clandestine ways at a late hour of night to the disgust of decent people who have to pass that way on their honest and legitimate bents. It is a burning shame! To think that some children are permitted by evidently sloven parents to indulge in these obnoxious things even right in sight of the public eye. Such is as awful as can be. Somebody is tardy, somebody is not on the job as somebody should be. As things exist now, it is an offensive series of bold crap games in the day featured by boys and the regular shady episode by wayward girls and their brazen male partners at night. One must finally ask who is to blame? How can these things be remedied? Surely these things can be regulated out of existence! This question should find immediate attention from the public and should furnish cause and incentive enough for the appointment of capable supervision of this particular park and playground! Day and night, girls should be properly chaperoned at all times and their actions should be governed by protective rules and regulations and these should be enforced by those appointed or constituted to do so. It is remarkable that such a vast beautiful expanse devoted to the recreation of a large class of people is without proper supervision, but civic improvement requires that we have such. If the work of our schools is to reach a glorious unhindered fruition in young manhood and womanhood, it must not thus be continually slapped in the face by the loose acts now so rampantly practiced in this park. The school undertakes to build up and encourage the best instincts in all of its pupils as well as it suppresses what ugly manifestations it may discover but it certainly expects the aid of parent and public in influencing the child when out from under its immediate jurisdiction. If our girls either by their own inclination or by parental inertia are not to be dishonored and disturbed, we must labor for their regulation and protection at all times. WHEATLEY PROVIDENT HOSPITAL BENEFIT.

ODD FELLOWS DEFY New York, Aug. 28.—What is destined to be one of the bitterest fights waged by the members of any organization whether civic, fraternal, religious or political, is that which faces the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America. For years the members of the executive body known as the Sub-Committee of Management (the members of which are elected at session of the Biennial Movable Committee), have been terrorizing the members of the various subordinate lodges throughout the jurisdiction, to so great an extent that they now seek to spread the German spirit of Kaiserism in their every act. The most recent ruling of the Board of the Sub-Committee of Management, which consists of nine men, is the order seeking to nullify the convening of the Nineteenth B. M. C. which was scheduled to meet in the City of New York on Monday, Sept. 9. According to the General Laws of the Order, Law V, Sections 1, 2 and 3, the delegates elected by each subordinate lodge shall comprise the members of the B. M. C., and they shall decide the day and date, time and place of each succeeding biennial session. The members of the Sub-Committee of Management being elected by the delegates to the various B. M. C.'s are purely the creatures of such, and therefore have no rights whatever in ordering the postponement of a session that was fixed by the B. M. C. in convention assembled. With the hope of carrying into effect their personal ambitions which plainly show evidences of German Kultur, the members of the Sub-Committee, headed by Grand Master Edward H. Morris, through the Odd Fellows Journal (the official organ of the order) issued a mandate last January tending to call off the session of the Nineteenth B. M. C. With the country thrown into the World's War when the Allied Forces are fighting for Government of the People and by the People, think of Governor of the State, or the President of the United States sending forth such a proclamation to the people of the electorate saying that as a war measure there shall be no election of State or National officers. Any such order promulgated by the State's or Nation's Chief Executive making themselves perpetual office holders would be contrary to the merits of the Constitution of the United States, and serve as just cause for rebellion. The members of the Order in certain sections of the country have therefore risen in righteous wrath, and are determined to hold the Nineteenth B. M. C. during the week beginning September 9 next. LYNCHINGS IN THE SOUTH. To the Editor of The Tribune: I want to thank you for your reply to "Traveler" in the Public Pulse column on the 20th inst. relative to lynchings in the South. "Traveler" is evidently a Southerner and it is for that reason I would like to add a few words to what has already been so well said by you, as I am also a native Southern man. My ancestry, both paternal and maternal, held slaves and fought to maintain that right of ownership in the war between the states. I feel qualified to make a statement on the subject of the race question as one who has knowledge and understanding of the Southern Negro. Not all the crimes against white women are committed by the blacks; there have been many instances where an innocent man has been lynched and afterward discovery was made that the perpetrator of the deed was a white man disguised as a Negro, even to the wearing of a woolly wig. You surely stated a truth in reference to Negro women. As long as Southern white men may outrage the virtue of the latter with impunity they must anticipate the same treatment toward their own women by some of the criminal blacks. It is the old law of reaping and sowing; the law of compensation that has governed the human race ever since it came into being on this earth. If the Southern man were really con- cerned as to the welfare of the Southern women and less actuated by racial prejudice he would do well to start house cleaning by reforming the morals of the youth of his section by both precept and example. The Golden Rule must and will prevail in all our relations with mankind. These facts seem hard for Southerners to understand, but there will come an awakening. It is only a question of time and education when justice will be enthroned throughout the world. Permit me to again express my appreciation of the broad views expressed in teh article referred to above as being to the point and without the least bit of prejudice. You have stated a plain fact and as an honest man, familiar with such fact, I want to voice my praise for the "retort courteous. Truly the course of slavery lingers."—ANative of Louisiana—Minneapolis Tribune. COLORED LIEUTENANT New York, N. Y.—It was a Negro lieutenant, attached to an American regiment, who figured out accurately just how far from Paris, France, was the big gun which has been bombarding that city from a distance of 72 miles. He measured the inclination of two holes where the shell went through two nearby walls, and the rest was only a question of mathematics. REV. M. L. CLAY DEAD. Rev. Mark L. Clay, 59 years of age, died last Saturday morning at his residence, 304 Franklin avenue, Kansas City, Kas., and was buried from King Solomon Baptist Church last Tuesday afternoon under the auspices of the Baptist Ministerial Alliance, Masonic fraternity and the United Brothers of Friendship. Rev. Clay was a minister of the gospel for forty-three years, was a member of Hughes Lodge No. 23, Louisiana, Mo., for forty years and of the United Brothers of Friendship for twenty-nine years, at the time of his death being a member of J. W. Hurse Lodge of this city. He was Moderator of the Mt. Zion Association for thirteen years, of the Kaw Valley Association one year, member of the Board of Trustees of Western University for eight years. He was married to Miss Rosa Williams, one of the most cultured and prominent young women of Moberly, Mo, in 1888, and to them were born two splendid sons, who with their mother and a host of friends mourn his loss- "Servant of God, well done: Rest from my blest employ, The battle fought, the victory won. Enter thy Master's joy." SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY. The Sunday School Rally and Cradle Roll which was held at the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon was a complete success. The amount of money raised was $26.36. Success was due to teh never tiring efforts of the two teachers, Mrs. L. Parker and Mrs. Butler, and the supernientendent, Mr. Wm. Henderson. You Have to Register! Questions of men past forty-five but not yet forty-six have kept telephone wires of local and district draft boards here busy answering this particular question: "If I am past forty-five do I have to register?" The answer is: "Yes, if you are not 46 years of age." The section covering this, which is in regulation number 3, part 1, section 4, reads: "Persons required to registered: All male persons who shall have attained their eighteenth birthday and shall not have attained their forty-sixth birthday on or before the date set for registration, September 12." A person who registered under the former law, of course, does not have to register a second time. PRICE. 5c. THE NEGRO AND OLD GLORY. By Walter Williams, Jefferson City, Mo. In vain do we seek for our equal right, Oh why do you cast us aside? Is it our dark skin that hurts your sight, Or because we have fought, bled and died? You brought us here from the African hills And made us on this land remain. You protect all foreigners when they come to this land, Then why not protect us the same? When you were in trouble you asked us to help; When at peace, then you drive us away. In the war with Spain our power was felt And you will need us again some day. We have fought for Old Glory and marched in the sun, And we have never let the old flag fall. Its the Stars and Stripes for all that come But no Stars for the Negro at all. Treat us like men and give us our rights; Be honest and don't be ashamed. We have often been tried and always denied, But willing to be tried again. A WONDERFUL PREACHER Bishop N. C. Cleaves Delivers a Series of the Most Remarkable Lectures Ever Heard in This City. A Giant in Intellect, a Philosopher in Argument and a Demosthenes in Oratory, He Is What the Westerner Would Call in the Vernacular "A Gully Washer," and the Southerner Would Call "The Trash Burner." At the Jamison Temple, 1815 Paseo, last Sunday night, we had the pleasure of hearing the most brilliant, illuminating, rhetorical and soul stirring sermon we have ever heard since the days of the late Bishop Abram Grant. Comparatively unhearralded and unannounced there came to this city last Saturday in the person of Bishop Nelson Caldwell Cleaves of Memphis, Tenn. Presiding Bishop of the Sixth District of the C. M. E. Church, one of the most scholarly, dignified and brilliant ministers the race has ever produced. Bishop Cleaves took for his text the thrid and fourth verses of the 24th chapter of Matthew, which spoke of the warring nations and the end of the world, and for his theme took "What Shall the End Be?" and for an hour and a quarter such logic and pathos and eloquence and power in the Gospel of Jesus Christ had never been witnessed by the writer before. Strong men and women shed tears, others screamed for joy, while the very essence of the Holy Ghost seemed to permeate the entire assemblage. Only about three hundred people were present to hear this great man and this remarkable sermon, but we predict that when it is announced that he shall come again no church edifice in this city will be large enough to hold the audience that will assemble to hear this man who preaches the gospel as does no other man of his time and generation. On Monday night a delightful banquet was given in honor of the Bishop, mention of which is made in another column; and on Tuesday night he was similarly honored by the members and friends of Dr. Bolden's church of Kansas City, Kas. We might stop to remark here that Jamison Temple has one of the best choirs in Kansas City, and in the person of Mrs. W. H. Nickens has a soprano who is a finished artist and easily ranks among the best Kansas City has ever heard. Come again, Bishop Cleaves, and The Sun pledges you a congregation to hear you such as your great ability and wonderful eloquence entitle you to, and rest assured that you have made a place in the hearts of those that were fortunate enough to hear you that will never be forgotten.

The report from the delegate, Mrs. George M. Lee, Sr., who attended the meeting of Colored Women's Clubs at Denver, will be made at the next meeting. Mrs. Sarah Bickford of Virginia City was a visitor in the city last week. Mrs. Bickford is the principal stockholder and manager of the water works of that old and thriving city. While in the city Mrs. Bickford stopped with Mrs. Judge D. Hart. Mrs. George M. Lee, Jr., is spending several weeks in Butte visiting Mrs. Minnie Cole. Rev, C. N. Douglas, presiding elder of Puget Sound Conference, is in the city from his last visit through his district before annual conference. Rev, and Mrs. D. L. McGriff, famous in jubilee melodies, duets and solos, have been receiving flattering audiences in the churches and halls of the city, including an engagement at the Y. M. C. A. building. By the time these notes are in the hands of our readers the Puget Sound Conference will have ended its meeting in Helena, and the appointments and disappointments will have been smiled upon and frowned at; ministers and lay delegates, as well as visitors, will have enjoyed the hospitality of Helena citizens and Helena will feel proud that she was the host of such distinguished guests. We will endeavor to tell of some of the important happenings of the meeting in our next issue. The Bright Star Club's entertainment at the church on the 27th was quite a success. This effort was for the stewards' department. Sergt. William Warren of the 24th Infantry Band has been promoted to second lieutenant, in charge of the band now stationed at Mexico. Prof. James Edward Polk, retired bandmaster of the 24th Infantry, has been appointed inspector of instruments at the Presidio. He was formerly in the P. O. department at Oakland, Cal. The young people gave a dance on the evening of the 30th in honor of Robert Brown, who entrained for Camp Lewis on the 1st. Edison Hall was filled with many friends of the draftree, who made his last social evening before his departure a pleasant one to be long remembered. A splendid meeting was held in the Commercial Club rooms under the auspices of the Patriotic League, August 31st, bidding farewell to the lone rookie who left the following morning for camp at American Lake, Wash. Robert Brown, Jr., is the son of Robert Brown, Sr., an old and well known citizen of Helena, who is a veteran of the Civil War. Rev. Geo. F. Martin, acting as chairman, called upon the following speakers: Dr. L. M. Rheem, secretary of the Commercial Club; George W. Alexander, and Harry R. Cunningham, vice president and general manager of the Montana Life Ins. Company. Following the speakers the recruit made a neat speech, thanking his friends and the public for the demonstration of their interest in him, and assured them he would render his best service for the success of this great cause. Refreshments were served after closing the meeting with the singing of "America." Mrs. Calvin Armstrong and grandniece of Seattle, Wash., left on the 25th for home. She was accompanied as far as Missoula by her sister, Mrs. Edward Johnson, whom she has been visiting. Mrs. Armstrong's visit was shortened by reason of her continued illness while in our city. When the delegates came to Helena they found several houses whose owners had improved in one way or another, looking like palaces of the kings. Among these recently making improvements are : William C. Irvin, J. E. Ingram, Nathaniel Ford and Geo. M. Lee, Sr. Word comes to us that Mrs. Harry Simmons of Aanaconda, once of Helena, is preparing for a trip to St. Paul, Chicago and other eastern points. WEIR CITY, KANSAS.

A few more daya and our beauti- ful new Wheatley-Provident Hospital will be ready for inspection and dedi- cation which the committee hopes to make one of the greatest events in the history of the race in this city. As soon as the contractors have turn. ed over the building the ladies’ clubs, fraternal organizations and in- dividuals who have pledged them. selves to furnish various rooms will be called on to install their furni- ture; then a program will be ar. ranged including all the various so- cial, civic and religious organizations in the city for the dedication cere- monies, The Negro State Medical Associa- tion, as well as the State Federation of Clubs, and the heads of the varlous fraternal organizations with their staff, will be invited to be present and take part in the ceremonies. ‘The Ladies’ Auxiliary have made up a great quantity of new linen sup: plies and are busily engaged making others with which to equip the In stitution; bills have been met prompt ly and the only thing required is that our people shall pay their pledges s¢ ‘that the whole plan of the General Committee may be carried out fully. The Sun has no hesitancy in saying that in appointment, arrangement and modern facilities, this hospital id vastly superior to any other owned and controlled exclusively by Negroes in this country and every citizen of Greater Kansas City should be proud ot this splendid achievement.

Enrolling in these classes does not mean that any man is to be singled out and drafted because of his identification with government work. It does mean, however, that he will in all probability be permitted to remain in school until he has volunteered or been drafted just as he would have been had he had no connection with government work. The Kansas City Polytechnic Institute has enrolled white men in its various branches of engineering and in all cases they have been able to get preferred classification. Lincoln High School wants to help our Colored men. What does this special training mean to the recipient? It means this: you have specialized in some line of work that will be of value to the government and will therefore be preferred to those whose talents are not developed in any particular capacity. When a certain degree of efficiency has been reached cards will be issued showing what has been accomplished. If you volunteer or if you are drafted in the service your worth to the government is greater if you are trained than it could be otherwise. All special work begun in school is continued when the camp has been reached. All men between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years who are interested and would enroll in any of the following branches: RADIO ENGINEERING, AUTO MECHANICS, OPERATING OF MOTOR VEHICLES, DRAFTING AND AEROPLANE CARPENTRY, will signify their intention to do so by communicating with the Principal of Lincoln High School or W. T. White, Department of Vocational Education, Lincoln High School, 19th Street and Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri. If it is not convenient to call in person, call Mr. White over Bell telephone, Grand 3469, between the hours of 6 and 9 P. M. Kindly give address and telephone number when communicating.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Be patient, Justice will come bye and bye. Are the Republicans going to try and elect a congressman from this district or are they bluffing? What's the matter with the Kansas City Railways Co. that it does not use Negro motormen and conductors on its Vine street line? The "Southern" tendencies of "De Schule Bo'hd" is evidenced in the Negro schools, the poorest north of Mason and Dixon's line. The School Board of Kansas City has become an arrogant close corporation that is a law unto itself regardless of the wishes of the people. Let's begin cleaning it up in 1920. The organization Democrats are beginning to get after the prejudiced Park Board (which permits its hirelings to beat and insult loyal Negro citizens, and wome nat that) and like President Wilson behind Vardeman and Blease the chances are some new faces will be seen in the Board Rooms shortly. Raus mit 'em. At 19th street and Troost avenue there is a saloon that has painted on its windows in large letters "We Serve White Men Only Here." From the names on the front it is owned by a German and an Irishman, both members of a race that has not always WHY NO Have Your House Wi been so highly respected, and yet they feel perfectly safe in dictating the policy that shall prevail in this city and country. There are hundreds of places where Colored people are not served in this city, yet they do not display brazen signs whose insidious and studied policy is to hinder and humiliate a large part of the most loyal people in America. Sedition consists of doing or contributing to those things that destroy the morale and courage of the American people and if such unnecessary signs as these do not do that among the Negro people, what does? Think of it, fighting to the death the Hun abroad and yet the Hun at home is permitted to persecute us to his heart's desire. Were it not that this hell hole of iniquity, and all others of its class, are soon to be put out of business forever, we would take their pro-Germanism seriously, but urge every Negro that has moved into that block recently to oppose with all their might these so-called Americans who try to create sentiment against us as a race.

Yes, indeed. —That a certain well known lady is threatening to commit suicide when they call her fiance "to the colors." —That when the lights went out the other night a praying deacon in a prominent church reached over and gently caressed one of the sisters but without warning the lights came on before the brother had finished, and a d—vil of a row has been kicked up in two families. —That the wife of a prominent man about town returned from her vacation three days before hubby knew it because he hadn't been home. Where was he? —That talk is cheap when about yourself, but pretty expensive sometimes when about the other fellow. —That if you want to see a guy excited, let his wife catch him having a tete-e-tete with another woman. That a Negro man saw in the papers the other day an article which said, "Get what you can and can what you get."

CHURCH Jamison Temple C. M. E. Church was graced Sunday night to have the presence of its great prelate, Bishop Nelson Caldwell Cleaves, of Memphis, Tenn., Presiding Bishop of the 6th Diocese. In spite of the downpour of rain and inclement weather, hundreds of people flocked to hear him....The hour of service having arrived, in a most graceful manner he took his text and proceeded as follows from these words: "Master, What Are the Signs of the Times and How Shall We Know them?" In a most logical way he discussed this subject from all viewpoints. At times we were on the delectable mountains marching with the Pilgrims of old, at other times we were in sorrow's lonely vale, when he pictured the Sin and Folly of man. When he reached his pyramid issue filled with oratorical flights, showing the promises God had made his church, he brought many "Amens and Hallelujah's" from the weary traveler. A great gospel preacher is Bishop Cleaves. The people gladly responded with $49.98 in the evening's collection....The next wonderful affair was a banquet given in honor of this distinguished man on Monday night.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON WASHINGTON.—There was a baseball game at the Florida avenue military reservation between the Camp Meigs boys and the marines from Quantico. It was a gala day. All the marines came to town to see the game, and took marines and a girl on his arm. within the range of vision, no one need wonder. As the marine would get 20 feet ahead, the sergeant of the guard would call him. "Hey, you, marine. Come back here. Leave your lady." The wondering marine would turn and return. "Have you ever been taught to salute the flag?" the sergeant would ask. To this question the marine would reply in the decided affirmative. "Well, then, why don't you do it?" the sergeant would say, pointing to the flag. The marine, seeing the flag for the first time, would blush and start to explain. "That's all right." says the sergeant. "let's see you do it right, now." "That's all right," says the sergeant, "let's see you do it right, now." And the marine would march by at salute, while his girl would grin from afar, and Camp Meigs soldiers grouped around would smile.

I take notice people don't tumble over themselves in their burry to give me things. The trouble with me is I'm too generous. I've just gone and given my cousin a brown silk that I could have made over for myself." "That old foulard? What on earth did she want with it?" "I like your nerve—why, woman, that goods cost me $7 when I bought it." "Forty-eleven years ago——" "The buttons alone were worth—and the last lining I put in was as good as new, except at the elbows, and—say, I'm scorching inside for a soda. Come on and have one." She plotted the way from a remnant counter to where the soda clerk was cutting coupons, and, being so seriously troubled with generosity—to say nothing of the extended invitation—you would have supposed that knitting bag would have paid for both tickets, but nay—— Dare Death and Injury Under Trolley Car Wheels ASOCIAL atmosphere was given to an Avenue car by the majority of the passengers, who were obviously out for a denatured joy ride.

The baby quieted down. The man dandled his cane and the baby chuckled. The woman beamed relief. The passengers smiled approbation and the cane man looked the pride of one who conquers. And when the baby had chuckled itself into a doze and the man was getting out, the woman ventured to thank him for his kindness and to say that he must be a father himself, to have such a happy understanding of children. "No, madam. No such good fortune. I am just an old bachelor, but, I must say, I have a way with the young ladies." It was supposed to be a little joke and the passengers accepted it at full value, especially the mother and another woman who smiled inscrutably at each other as—if as they understood about blue ribbons. Just within the gate to the camp, and to one side of the guardhouse, was an American flag, standing in the sod. It was not a large flag, neither was it a small one, just a medium-sized American flag. Each marine passed through the gate with his girl on his arm, all right, and each marine failed to see the flag. When it was taken into consideration that the flag was just without the range of vision and the girl was well within the range of vision, no one need feet ahead, the sergeant of the guard wow back here.

Lace and Satin Dinner Gown O Simple, Elegant Afternoon Gown Simple, Elegant Afternoon Gown 33 It always takes exceptions to prove the rule and to keep certain accepted styles from becoming monotonous. The handsome dinner gown which presents its brilliant accomplishment in black and white with such assurance here is an exception to the straight-line silhouette. It belongs to a small and exclusive company of exceptions to this feature of the styles for fall, for the straight-line figure grows more popular all the time and is destined to dominate in the styles of the coming season. Allover lace and black satin join forces in the tunic skirt and bodice. There is an underskirt of white satin bordered with black. The tunic is set onto a body of black satin that forms a short yoke extending a few inches below the waistline, and has a border of black satin about its lower edge. The lace bodice is very simply draped over its satin foundation and the sleeves are of lace—rather full above the elbow and shaped to the arm be- Simple, Elegant A Magnificence is not a characteristic of any of the dressier gowns for afternoon and evening these days, but they rejoice in simplicity and elegance. These are the indispensable things in war time and the most satisfactory in any time. Ingenuity in the management of simple trimming takes the place of lavish work in elaborate embroideries. About all the chance left for milady to be splendid in sumptuous clothes lies in the direction of furs. Among these there are some superb pieces, but they are bought for a lifetime and so their case and that of gowns are not parallel. They are allowable even when good taste forbids other extravagance. An afternoon frock as presented in the picture seems almost too simple to need a description. It is of blue georgette over an underslip of satin and is made with a bodice and tunic skirt. The tunic is plaited onto the plain crepe bodice at the waistline, which is a little higher than the normal waistline of the underslip. Straight bands of satin are applied to the bodice. One of them at each side extends over the shoulder and down the back. The three bands on the low. They extend a little way over the hand and are finished with a narrow binding of satin. A bit of white georgette suggests an underbodice of this lovely fabric where it shows through the lace at the shoulders and above the satin at the square neck. If this gown started out with a declaration of independence as to its outlines, it makes amends by making the most of the vogue for long silk tassels. There is a very long girdle of the satin that is wrapped about the waist, crossed at the back and looped over at the left side. The ends, finished with long, handsome silk tassels, fall to the bottom of the tunic and a little below the bottom of the skirt. This gown is becoming to almost any type of figure. It is dignified and quiet, but it is also brilliant. In the picture a big black satin poppy adds its fine silken sheen to the finish of an exquisite frock. It is in black also, but might be in some brilliant color if occasion seemed to demand it. Afternoon Gown front and back of the bodice between those at the sides, are pointed at the top. They all hang several inches below the waist and the end of each band is threaded through a bead. Two of these narrow silk bands are tacked about the waist and the bands that are applied to the bodice are threaded over and under them and then tacked to them. The ends hang free. The same bands in five over-lapping rows are stitched about the tunic just above its hem. This is all there is to tell of a pretty afternoon gown which one must acknowledge achieves distinction by the simplest means. The round neck has a picot edge and so have the sleeves at the wrist. They could not be plainer and they fit the arm from shoulder to hand. Julie Bottomly Camouflaging Moth Holes.

STORIES OF AMERICAN CITIES Pelican With Hunlike Proclivities Is Interned Pelican With Hunlike Proclivities Is Interned NEW ORLEANS.—Bill, the only white pelican in captivity in the South, beloved of every child who has ever visited the flying cage in Audubon park, is to be interned for the period of the war. Bill is charged with being a slacker, a pro-German, and of openly practicing German frightfulness. In his pelicanesque manner, Bill, for two years, has strutted about the cage. Far from exhibiting the beautiful domestic virtues of the emblematic bird of the state—the brown pelican—Bill has consistently acted in a rude, Hunlike manner and terrorized the other denizens of the cage.

Just a Little Diplomacy, and Behold! Iced Tea WASHINGTON.—All is fair in love and war—and hot weather. If you don't believe it, ask the iceman. What icemen went through with in Washington a week or so ago only icemen know. The iceman is the target of house- wives all along the route. If he gives them ten cents worth of ice, they want to know why he won't give them 25 cents worth. And if his ice runs out and no more is to be had—woe upon him! It was the hottest day of the year. For two days running a certain man—we will call him Mr. Jones—had gone without ice in his apartment. Appeal to rival icemen brought forth answers aplenty, but no ice. As for going out in the street and beseaching icemen to let him have some frozen water, Mr. Jones wi die of thirst before I'll do that," he said. And, what's mo stuck to it. But he got ice.

Not an ice wagon was to be seen on the horizon. Suddenly a rumble was heard up the street. Nearer and nearer it came. It was an ice wagon—an emergency wagon! Up the staircase came a colored boy lugging a great chunk of ice. "Gee, if I can only get that," sighed Mr. Jones. The boy came past. "Who is it for?" asked Jones, a gleam of hope appearing. "Well, now, I've forgot exactly who it is for," answered the boy. "Man by the name of Jones, wasn't it?" asked Jones. "It might have been Jones," said the boy, hesitating. "Then you've got the right icechest," cried the triump it right in here." And that was how Mr. and Mrs. Jones came to have after all.

When, after the gown was finished at the expense of punctured fingers and overtaxed eyes, he told her that it was intended for another woman, there was something of a scene. It was the basis of a divorce suit in which a decree was granted by Circuit Judge Dingeman. "We had an arrangement with a family of neighbors that when there was sickness in one family the other family should give all possible assistance," Mrs. Ruffery explained. "Fred got sick and a young woman from the neighborhood came in and took care of him. She was a good-looking young woman years old, and Fred seemed entirely satisfied with the care.

Failure to recognize the righteousness of Naboth's position, and to master his own personal selfish desires, resulted in this dark deed. I. A Notable Example of the Triumph of Evil (I Kings 21:1-29). 1. Ahab's covetousness (Vv. 1-6). Near the king's palace lay a plot of ground belonging to a simple farmer which Ahab selfishly longer for. Naboth, loyal to the law of God and exercising his personal rights, refused to part with it, though the king offered him what it was worth, or even a better one in exchange. With Naboth it was not a matter of money value, but of loyalty to God and his fathers. It doubtless would have been gain to him to have complied with Ahab's desire, for he offered its worth in money, or a better one in exchange. Naboth put principle before worldly gain, or even a reputation with the king. Ahab instead of conquering his selfishness sulkily refused to eat. 2. Jezebel's wicked plot (vv. 5-16). When she found Ahab pouting she took matters into her own hands. (1) She taunted Ahab (v. 7). A weak man cannot stand to be taunted, especially by a woman. (2) A mock trial given (vv. 8-13). The charge made against Naboth was false. They played the hypocrite. His death was secured under the pretense of justice. Jezebel desired Naboth out of the way, so she secured false witnesses against him. (3) He was stoned to death (v. 13). (4) Jezebel informs Ahab of Naboth's death, and instructs him to take possession of the vineyard (vv. 14-16). 3. The doom announced (vv. 17-26). 3. The doom announced (vv. 19-26). (1) By whom—Elijah (vv. 17, 18). At the command of the Lord, Elijah, who had fled from Jezebel, goes to meet the king as he entered upon the possession of Naboth's vineyard. He went to take possession but could not. God always finds a man to bring to the sinner the fruit of his wrongdoing. (2) What it was (vv. 19-26). (a) A shameful death (v. 19). The dogs were to lick his blood in the place where they licked the blood of Naboth. There is a retributive justice in the judgments which God metes out to sinners. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Gal. 6:7). Jezebel was to share a like fate. The sinner should be assured that his sin will find him out. (b) Obliteration of posterity (vv. 21, 22). It was best that the children of such a man should be cut off so that there might be an end to such a wicked dynasty. It would seem that the world has now come to such a state as this. The dynasty which is responsible for the blood and sorrow of the world at this time would better end and its posterity be obliterated from the earth. 4. Aman's repentance (v. 21:27). Through his humiliation he gained a respite from judgment. God allowed him to go for awhile before he permitted the judgment to fall upon him. A few years later he was slain in the battle of Ramoth-Gilead (chapter 22:37). 11. How to Overcome Evil (Eph. 11:18). 1. By separation from it (v. 11). The only way to overcome evil is to refuse fellowship with it, to withdraw from it. Lot, who had entered into fellowship with the Sodomites, was overtaken with disaster; but Abraham, who was separated from it, was able to deliver him. 2. By reproof (v. 11). It is not enough to merely refrain from practicing evil. No neutral position is possible. There must be victory over it; it must be defeated. Antagonism of the evil is necessary. 3. By watchfulness (v. 14). Living in the light of Christ is necessary in order to overcome evil. Deception is on every hand. 4. By a circumspect walk (vv. 15, 16). Pitfalls are all about us. To walk without looking about us is most foolish, because the evil one is on the alert, doing his best to cause us to stumble. 5. By a sober life (v. 18). 6. By being filled with the Holy Spirit (v. 18). Those who would overcome evil must abstain from intoxicating liquors and all the influences of the world which unduly excite. The Spirit-filled believer has the wisdom and power to overcome. Regenerated Life. The best personal workers are those who have a zeal for others because of their own changed lives. There may be argument against some forms of reasoning and against various cults and "isms," but there can be no argument against a regenerated life—"Something Doing." TOLD WETOLD YOU SO!
