EXTRAORDINARY EVENT. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE STATE NEGRO MASONS WILL LAY THE CORNER STONE OF AN IMPOSING COUNTY STRUCTURE. The Entire Public Invited to Witness These Impressive Ceremonies. At the invitation of the honorable county court of Jackson county, Missouri, the Negro Masons of the state will lay the corner stone of the new $60,000 Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes now being erected on the County Farm, south of Little Blue, about sixteen miles from the city. To Dr. Howard M. Smith is due the honor for the conception of this very happy event and the Masonic Grand Lodge will be represented in its entirety on this occasion. A large delegation from the International Building Laborers' Union, under the leadership of Mr. Charles Harris, will also be present and will assist in the practical work of placing the cornerstone. One of the best union bands in the city has been secured for the occasion through the generosity of prominent white friends of the race and the Masonic choir under the direction of Professor A. T. Moore will also furnish music for the occasion. Preliminary to the laying of the cornerstone song and devotional exercises will be conducted by Rev. F. D. Wells, vice-chairman of the commission supervising the erection of the home. And at 2:30 prompt the MR. A. T. MOORE, the hustling and aggressive Director of the great Masonic Choir which will render music next Sunday at the Corner Stone laying of the County Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes, and also at the Dedication of the new Wheatley-Provident Hospital, September 29. impressive Masonic ceremony of laying the cornerstone will be conducted. A number of motor trucks and cars have been secured for the fraternity, the choir and the band and every Negro citizen as well as generous white friends are requested to bring their cars to the Masonic Temple, 18th and Woodland avenue, at 11:30 a. m., Sunday, September 15, from which place the delegation will leave for the farm promptly at 12 o'clock, noon. It is expected that hundreds of Colored people from Independence and other points in the county will also be present and the honorable members of the county court have also been urged to attend. Plenty of ice water and refreshments will be served by the committee upon the grounds and an old-fashioned get-together emancipation jubilee will be had. Let every Negro who believes in better conditions and better opportunities for the race try and be present. And if you haven't a conveyance, rent one for this particular occasion as it will not come again in the history of the present generation. Very brief addresses will be made by prominent men of the race preceding the cornerstone ceremonies after which the band will serenade the County Home for whites and out people will be given an opportunity to inspect the handsome new $600,000 building the county has built for that class of citizens. A number of professional and business men have promised the use of their cars for the occasion and it is hoped to have sufficient accommodation to carry all who desire to go out The Kansas City Sun to this epoch-making ceremony. Dno' forget the date nor the hour—12 o'clock noon, Sunday, September 15. Nelson C. Crews, Chairman. Rev. F. D. Wells, Hon. L. A. Knox, Mrs. Ruth Lange, Dr. Sidney E. Johnson, Mrs. Clara Adams, Hon. C. H. Calloway, Hon. J. J. Mattjoy, Mrs. Frances J. Jackson, Dr. Howard M. Smith, Committee. HOSPITAL MOVING NICELY. There is being more activity shown in the payment of subscriptions to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital than has been exhibited for several weeks and the members of the Board of Directors are very enthusiastic over the dedication and opening, which has been set for Sunday, September 29. Quite a few have made payments on their pledges during the week. Miss Mayne Loggins, one of Kansas City's best registered nurses, who is traveling with a prominent white family in New York and who subscribed five dollars, sent six dollars this week, saying that she felt like adding a dollar more to her subscription in view of the wonderful success we are having. Miss Winetta Donohue, who was not a subscriber but who said she had been reading in The Sun of the wonderful work our people were doing, called for one of our collectors to come and see her and gave three dollars as a free-will offering to help on in the work. Among those who paid in full this week were: $50.00— Dr. E. A. Walker. Miss Mamie Loggins. $5.00 Prof. O. M. Shackleford, Mr. W. M. Taylor. $3.00 Miss Winetta Donohue. On the day of dedication the committee hopes to raise by public collection and payment of pledges $1,000.00. Don't forget the date. Every Church and every Organization in the City will be invited to be present and take part in the proceedings. Another commendable act which we feel worth the mentioning was a letter containing ten dollars from MMiss Madeline Taylor, 1011 Independence avenue, who stated that although she had not made a pledge, she felt that the cause was a deserving one and the efforts of the committee should be encouraged. Would there were more loyal members of the race like Miss Taylor. Read the full list on page 3 of this issue and see what the loyal members of the race and our white friends have done for the hospital. PROF. CREWS TO TEACH SOCI OLOGY AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Prof. Caswell W. Crews, 4230 Champlain avenue, formerly head of the history department of Morris Brown college, Atlanta, Ga., has received an appointment as professor of sociology in Western university, Quindaro, Kans. He expects to leave the city for that point this week.—Chicago Defender. BISHOP PHILLIPS MARRIES. St. Louis, Mo.—The wedding ceremony of Bishop Charles Henry Phillips og Tennessee and Miss Ella Cheeks of Ohio was solemnized last Wednesday afternoon at the residence of his son, Dr. Charles H., Jr. Rev. J. W. Jacobs of Kansas City and presiding elder of the St. Louis District, C. M. E. Church, and Dr. N. L. Smith, pastor of Lane Tabernacle Church, this city, performed the simple beautiful Methodist rites that made them man and wife. Mrs. Charles Cephas, formerly of his city, was the guest of Mrs. Frederick Hasbrooks of Spokane, Wash., for a few days. Mrs. Cephas reports a delightful time while there. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1918. THE NEW WHEATLEY-PROVIDENT HOSPITAL The dedication of the new Wheatley-Provident Hospital has been finally set for Sunday, September 29, at 3 p. m. sharp, which the committee on arrangements hope to make one of the greatest events in the history of the race in this city. At the meeting of the Board last Wednesday evening the resignation of Mr. C. A. Franklin, president, was accepted and Prof. J. R. E. Lee, principal of Lincoln High School, was unanimously elected to fill the position for the ensuing year. A committee on program composed of the following persons was selected: Dr. J. E. Perry, chairman; Messrs. L. A. Knox, C. A. Franklin, N. C. Crews, and Mrs. Frances J. Jackson. [Image of a man in a formal suit holding a sword]. The above cut is the likeness of Dr. J. W. Hurse, pastor of St. Stephens Baptist church, who has just finished a great revival of seven weeks. Dr. Hurse and members left 604-606 Charlotte street, went to 12th and Michigan, and bought and erected a $400 tent and with the assistance of Drs. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., R. B. Porter of Little Rock, Ark., G. McNeal and Moses Williams of Kansas City, Kans., fought sin and saved the souls of seventy-nine. This was a great revival both spiritually and financially. Having raised $2,787.15 the pastor and members moved back to their church building at 604-606 Charlotte street, where the church was newly decorated. They are now settled for the winter. Surely no church in the jurisdiction has more right to be proud of its executive head than St. Stephens Baptist church. We do not exaggerate in the slightest degree when we say that Dr. The committee on finance is: C. H. Calloway, Mrs. Nellie Young and Mr. Ed Lewis. The following persons are asked to appoint a committee to represent their organization and arrange to participate in the life of march and dedicatory services: Masons—Mr. Eugene Lacy. U. B. F.—Dr. J. H. Williams and Dr. G. W. Brown. Odd Fellows—Mr. Ed Lewis. K. of P.—J. P. Daynard and J. H. Sample. U. R. K. of P.—Major Don Rife. Knights of Tabor—Prof. J. E. Her riford. Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem—Col. T. B. J. Robinson. THE NEW YORK TIMES Hurse has made such a study of his members and worked so zealously and lovingly among them that each one of them has caught the inspiration and today that standard of love and union is so raised that there is not one among them who is not proud to be identified with St. Stephen Baptist church. Show me a pastor in Kansas City that could start a church in Belvidere Hollow and carry the congregation that Dr. Hurse has. On last Sunday the members saw the need of a rest for their pastor and gave to him a vacation of six weeks and a purse of $201.15. Dr. Hurse left for the National Convention that convened in Little Rock, Ark. From there he goes to Hot Springs, Ark., where he will take a course of twenty-one baths. While away he will visit his mother in Collierville, returning home about the middle of October. We hope that on his return he will be greatly improved. American Woodmen—C. A. Frank lin. K. C.

Morris was re-elected for another term as president of the National Convention. It was his desire to retire, but the whole convention stood up as one and demanded that he serve. And in the midst of the wildest cheering he was unanimously elected. The other officers of the convention are W. G. Parks, D. D., of Philadelphia, vice-president at large; Prof. R. B. Hudson, Selma, Ala., secretary; Dr. A. J. Stokes, Montgomery, Ala., treasurer; T. O. Fuller, Memphis, Tenn.; James M. Nabrit, Augusta, Ga. E. H. McDonald, Pittsburgh, Pa. E.

LOWE SURPRISES NATIVES. DR. LOWE SURPRISES NATIVES. One of the big surprises of last week was the marriage of Dr. Cornelius Lowe of the Wabash avenue "Y to Miss Dorothy Clark, 3324 Vernor avenue, which took place last week at Springfield, Ohio. Some think, how ever, they were married earlier in the summer. Dr. Lowe is a veterinary surgeon at the stock yards.—Chicago Defender. BLIND BOONE CONCERT The initial concert of the Blind Boone Concert in their 37th annual season, given at Academy Hall, 14th and Michigan, last Thursday night for the benefit of Wheatley-Provident hospital under the auspices of four of our leading women's clubs, was a reparkable success, an audience of a thousand persons being present. Boone plays with all his old-time power and charm and really improves with age. The supporting company is excellent and this promises to be a banner season. W. W. YATES SCHOOL GROWING. The W. W. Yates School, formerly Lincoln, reports an enrollment of nearly six hundred this week, the same being a big increase over the same week last year. The growing popularity of the Yates School is due to several causes, among which are the successful open air room maintained for weak children, the school orchestra and the excellent cafeteria operated for the benefit of the students. This latter feature was the first of its kind in the local Negro schools and has made a big hit with that class of patrons who do not wish their children to run the streets during the noon hour. The cafeteria menu contains a large variety of food articles costing from one cent to three cents each. The food is all prepared at the school under the most sanitary conditions and the service is given special attention by the teachers. Yates school also claims the pioneership in the fresh air room idea besides the teacher and principal is visited each day by a graduate nurse and a specially assigned physician. Children in this room are given two extra meals each day and free street car fare to and from their homes. They also sleep an hour each day and have the advantage of hot and cold shower baths. At the beginning of this year it was found that three of the pupils who took advantage of this fresh air course last year were sufficiently im proved to return to their regular classes. The physical improvement of these children is almost beyond belief unless one takes the palms to study the charts which record their daily progress. TO COMB OUT DRAFT EVADERS Nation-Wide Effort Will be Made to Round Up Slackers. Washington. Sept. 12.—A Nationwide effort to round up men who failed to register for the draft will be started immediately by a special organized corps of Department of Justice agents. This corps, it was learned today, has been in process of organization for some time. Methods have been developed for gathering information from hundreds of sources about men within the new draft ages, who failed to respond. Many volunteer members of the American Protective League are understood to have enlisted in the new campaign against draft dodgers, and it virtually will be impossible for slackers to evade are rest. NEGRO 4-MINUTE MEN COM MENDED. The activity of the Negro four-minute speakers in the recent war work campaigns of Kansas City has been commended officially in a communication received from Washington. The Negro four-minute men worker under the direction of C. H. Calloway, chairman, the other members being Chas. A. Astwood, D. A. Ross, Gaitha Page, Dr. William J. Thompkins, W. C. Hueston and Clarence Groves. Chairman Calloway has recommended that each member of his staff of orators be awarded the usual button for efficient and patriotic service. Dr. Inman E. Page has been elected president of Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., to succeed Dr. A. M. Townsend, who resigned several months ago to take up the pastorate of the Metropolitan Baptist Church in Memphis. Dr. Page is a man of large experience in school work, and it is confidently predicted that he will keep Roger Williams up to the standard.—Christian Index. The Sun is in receipt of a letter from Camp Funston compallining of the fact that a number of men are being held in the Detention Camp who are unfitted for military service and yet for ssome reason are being kept there; but as the writer does not sign his name and The Sun has no information bearing upon this statement of facts we can only give the statement for what its worth. We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions. Why not advertise what you have to rent or sellin thispaper which reaches all the colored people in greater Kansas City? PRICE, 5c. MRS. BAKER SINGS FOR OUR SOLDIERS Wife of Secretary of War Renders Selections at Howard University and Principal Moton of Tuskegee Institute, Speaks and Leads in Plantation Melodies—Emmett J. Scott Introduces Mrs. Baker to Immense Audience. Special to The Sun. Washington, D. C., Sept. 10.—At a largely attended patriotic meeting of colored people, held last Thursday morning in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel at Howard University, Mrs. Newton D. Baker, wife of the Secretary of War, rendered several delightful vocal solos, each of which was heartily applauded. Mrs. Baker was presented to the immense crowd which filled every nook and cranny of the spacious edifice, by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute, and now serving in Washington as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, in charge of affairs relating to colored people in connection with the war. Student Army in Training at Howard. At Howard University there are two detachments of colored soldiers, taking special training in military science and tactics. One is the Special Vocational Training Detachment, numbering three hundred or more, receiving instruction in technical and mechanical branches under the direction of Captain Beasley; the second group, about four hundred strong, is the Student Army Reserve Corps, selected from the various colored schools of the country to prepare to be instructors of the student army units in their respective schools when they have concluded the prescribed course here. This group is under the supervision of Lieut. Russell Smith, formerly of the 10th United States Cavalry. Howard Soldiers Return Compliment to Mrs. Baker. As a return compliment to Mrs. Baker for her favor, these student soldiers sang for her a number of plantation melodies and folk-songs, all reminiscent of their homes in Dixieland; and, as a further compliment, some of these songs were led in finished style by Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, successor to the late Booker T. Washington. Dr. Moton had come on from New York City to deliver an address to the soldiers at Howard University and interested citizens of Washington. Notable among the songs led by Dr. Moton and sung with fervor by the monster chorus was "A Hymn of Freedom," by Natalie Curtis Burlin, a fine example of the "spirituals" that are now being introduced with marked success in teh army camps throughout the country. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones in Charge of Exercises. The meeting at Howard University was presided over by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the United States Bureau of Education, who spoke at length of the commendable services of the colored people to the nation in war and in peace, and on the platform were a score or more of men and women prominently identified with various phases of helpful war work. Dr. Moton's address was a forceful and eloquent appeal to the young colored men of America to do their full duty toward upholding the honor of the flag and to utilize every resource at their command to bring into its fullness that pure democracy which the entire civilized world is striving to establish and in which all wish to share in equitable proportion. There will be a chicken dinner served at the residence of Mrs. Birdie Williams, 2438 Woodland, Friday, September 20, for the benefit of the Star of the West Court No. 77. Dinner served from 11:30 a. m. to 10:30 p. m. ice cream and other refreshments will be served. Price 35 cents. Mrs. Birdie Williams, chairman.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. The Ninety-second Division of Negro troops, the first to leave Camp Funston, is now holding a sector on the lower end of the French battle line. They are not quite as close to Berlin as they would lige, but they can "move up front" later on. It is becoming generally known that certain secret service men of the government, will keep an eye upon the deportment of war wives who are enjoying an easy income while their husbands are at the front. "Blessed are the mee," so be careful not to become too gay. Several of the downtown stores are giving preferred employment to colored women. It is hoped that these women by earnest, faithful attention to duty will render their services indispensable and that other members of the race will patronize these stores as an evidence of appreciation. It is said that some of the school principals are so jealous of their enrollment that they actually refuse to encourage weak and under nourished children to attend the fresh air school. That means that they would rather see the lives of the children shorten ed than to se the school roster short ened. This is good patriotic service. PROF HARRIS LANDS EXCELLENT POSITION The Sun is exceedingly gratified to note the appointment of Prof. J. Silas Harris to a very responsible clerical position at the famous Armour Packing plant in this city. It is the first appointment of its kind in the history of that great institution and much credit is due Mr.-J. A. McClean, superintendent, for this splendid appointment. Prof. J. Silas Harris is one of the best equipped men intellectually of the race in this country and as a penman has no superior. He was for many years principal of schools in this city and other sections of Missouri and is at present president of National Negro Educational Congress. Prof. Harris is qualified to fill any position in the gift of this corporation, or for that matter, this Nation, and the Sun again expresses its gratification in the name of the Negro people of Greater Kansas City on the wisdom of this excellent appointment. LITERARY NOTES FROM BONE AND LIVERIGHT. Boni and Liveright say that although no advertisements have appeared, even in trade journals, of their forthcoming publication "What is The German Nation Dying For?" the bare announcements of the book that appeared in various prominent publications have brought about 100 letter sto their offices, asking what the title of the book means. It must be obvious to every intelligent person in this country that the German nation is dying—gradually bleeding to death, now at a gratifyingly accelerated pace. This, Karl Ludwig Krause, the distinguished German publicist, sees as clearly as any Allied author, and in his book, which he has written at the peril of his life, he asks the despairing passionate question, "What are the people dying for?" The question is asked, not of the world at large, but of the German people themselves. The book was immediately suppressed in Germany, although some five thousand copies got there from Switzerland, where it was published. Mr Krause asks the people why they are willing to support official barbarism and answers all of his own questions by telling his readers that the Germans under the influence of Prussian rule have come to have flunkey souls and to think in the brutal terms of the Junker caste. A few of the 47 chapter headings in this book are: Hunger, The Lusitania, Why the Germans are Disliked, "Got Strafe England," Asininities, Bluff, The Crash What is the Obstacle to Peace The Reckoning. A CENTURY OF NEGRO MIGRATION. A New Book By Dr. Carter G. Woodson A Valuable Work for Every One Interested in American History as it has Been Influenced by the Exodus of the Negroes. This work is unique in that it is the first attempt to treat scientifically the records bearing on the exodus of the Negroes from the South to the North. It undertakes to explain the underlying causes which made the South dif- fer widely from he North, so that the latter, became a place of refuge for Negroes and elucidates the conditions in the South impelling the blacks to migrate. The numerous centers to which the fugitives repaired for asylum are noted in detail as connecting links in the chain of underground railroad stations where Negroes were aided on their way to favorable communities in the Northern States and Canada. The chapter on confusing movements of the Civil war takes up an aspect of the exodus which has generally been neglected. An equally valuable portion of the work, however, is that which treats of the movements of the Negroes since the Civil war. This part deals with the movement to the west, the migration of the talented tenth and the exodus during the World war. Sufficient attention is also given to the smaller but significant migration of Negroes of refinement and culture, those who despite their achievements have been unable to safeguard the rights guaranteed them by the Constitution and have therefore, sought in the North relief from their many wrongs. How these migrants have been too often disappointed like the caravan by the mirage in the desert, has been carefully noted. This chapter, therefore, becomes the most tragic portion of the narrative. Here we see the most enlightened Negroes experiencing the breakup of their estates, the severance of family ties, and the separation from friends, in short, a sacrifice of all things held dear only to find a place where one might be recognized as a man regardless of his color or previous condition of servitude. The last chapter, "The Exodus during the World War," is without doubt the most valuable portion of the book. With the adequate historic background furnished by the sketch of the early movements of the black population, the present day migration is easily understood. The underlying causes of all these movements have been practically the same. It is merely a case of history repeating itself. Although accessible data for figuring out mathematically the extent of the present movement is not available, sufficient statistics are given to inform the reader as to how tremendously the recent migration has affected the whole nation. These facts are made still more impressive by maps and diagrams, showing the distribution of the black population, and especially its concentration in cities. These fea-tures especially make this book a valuable aid indispensable to anyone interested in understanding this most important event of our recent internal history.

IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our dear husband and father, Mr. W. C. Berryman, who passed away two years ago, September 16, 1916. Softly the stars are gleaming Upon a quiet grave. There sleepeth without dreaming One we loved but could not save. Through all his pain at times he smiled Asmile of heavenly birth; And when the angels called him home He smiled farewell to earth. Heaven retains our treasure; Earth the lonely casket keeps, But his soul has gone to heaven, And a sweet reward he reaps. Sadly missed by Wife and Family.

Call Both Phones. Day or Night. Bell East 5395 Home East 906 Young Captain Disobeyed Orders and Won Out. Possibly Admiralty Had Sense Enough to See That It Was Poor Business to Discourage Such a Man. There was a certain young officer—John Chisholm call him—who played poker occasionally. He commanded a "filver," which is the service term for the smallest class of destroyers, the 750-ton ones. In the navy there are plenty of people who will tell you that they never built destroyers which keep the sea better than that same little filver class, James B. Connolly writes in Collier's Weekly. Young Captain Chisholm of the 323 was one. One morning, having conveyed a fleet of merchant ships safely to their port, the 323 was one of a group of destroyers making the best of their way to their base port. Officers and men who have been hunting U-boats for a week or so do not like to linger along the road home. So it was every young captain giving his ship all the steam she could stand and let her belt. It was moderately rough when they started. It grew a bit rougher. Chisholm in the 323 was going along at 20 knots when a fellow he very well knew came along in his big 1,000-ton destroyer. His nose hauled up on the quarter of the 323; up to her beam; up to her bridge. As she passed the 323 her commander megaphoned across: "What you making, Chiz?" "Twenty knots!" hailed back Chisholm. "I'm seeing your twenty knots and raising you five!" returned the other, and passed into the lead. "All right," said Chiz, "but wait!" The sea grew rougher. The 323 was bouncing pretty lively, but hanging on to her twenty knots. "And at twenty you let her hang if she rolls her darned crow's nest under!" said Chisholm to his watch officer. "and we won't be acting rudder to this bunch going into port!" They were still going along at 20 knots when from out of the drizzle ahead they saw the stern and funnels of a destroyer. It was the big destroyer that had passed them, and the tough little 323 breasted her stern, her waist, her bridge and as he passed her (and he came quite close to let all hands view the passing) young Captain Chisholm leaned out from his bridge and hailed: "Call yuh!" This same young fluvier captain was headed for port in the usual hurry and was already well into the west channel just outside the port when a signal was whipped out from the signal tower. It was for this ship: "West channel mined last night by U-boats. Proceed to sea and come in by east channel." Chiz did not proceed to sea, and he did not come in by the east channel. The harbor saw him come straight on to his mooring. Said Chiz: "I was well into that channel when i got the signal. And, of course, the first instinct was to obey orders. But i stop and think: 'This ship of mine, she's 300 feet long and under her stern there's two big propellers. If ever I turn this 300 foot ship in this channel with those two propellers churning and there's any loose German mines around, there won't be a blamed one of them she'll miss. But if I keep her straight on there's a chance.' So Hell's fire!" I says to myself, 'the only thing to do is to keep straight on!' And I kept straight on, and we made our mooring." After that they waited to hear what the admiralty had to say. But they heard nothing; whereupon some said that was due to the admiralty concluding that it is poor business to scold an officer who carries through a nery piece of work. All Reminded Him. A soldiers' chorus created some amusement at a Liverpool station recently. A man had just put his wife into a train, and was walking briskly down the platform. Suddenly his wife's head appeared at the window, shouting in a high key: "Charles, don't forget the meat." But he walked on, without hearing. The lady raised her voice and fairly yelled: "Charles, don't forget the meat!" Still he didn't hear, and so a group of soldiers let off a stentorian bellow: "Charles!" The husband turned. And then the soldiers, in solemn chorus proclaimed: "Don't—forget—the meat!" Voluntary Rationing. Controller Hoover congratulated a Washington gathering on the success of the voluntary rationing system. "The observance of voluntary rationing has been universal," he said. "I heard the other day of a tiny urchin on a picnic in the country who ran to his mother with tears in his eyes. "What's the matter?" his mother asked. "The urchin held out a swollen finger and shouted, indignantly: "The bees! Today is a meatless Tuesday and them bees ain't observin' it!" Need Not Go to Europe Here is another thing this war has shown. In the past thousands of Americans have gone to Europe for the "baths" and "springs." Now it is found that the waters at every one of the famous European places can be duplicated in this country.

O 1918 WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Loads of Fun at the Zoo During Feeding Time Loads of Fun at the Zoo During Feeding Time WASHINGTON.—If you are fortunate enough to strike the zoo about three o'clock, feeding time, you will find plenty to amuse you. The bears manifest great signs of hunger, striding back and forth in their dens, setting up great bear cries and striking their ©2015 When the keeper comes, with his wheelbarrow of bread, the fun begins. The keeper's aim is to give an equal number of leaves to each bear, but the pig in the bear sometimes upsets this calculation. When one big hog—I mean bear—grubs twice as many leaves as is his due, it is up to the keeper to make him give up the extra leaves. This is not an easy task, especially when it must be done from the outside of the cage. But with the aid of a long iron bar, with which sundry thumps are administered on the seemingly concrete head of the bear, the unlawfully seized bread finally goes to the right bear. The baby hippopotamus, growing bigger every day, is another favorite animal. During the recent hot days both baby and manma enjoyed themselves eating hay, seemingly unmindful of the heat. One day last week a young woman with a scientific turn of mind experimented with potato chips and their availability as animal food. With a big bag of potato chips she went through the zoo "trying them out" on the animals. Some animals liked the chips and others turned up their noses at them. Animals, it may be remarked, really turn up their noses at food for which they do not care. Some of the monkeys eat potato chips, the experiment showed, while other brands of monkeys will have nothing to do with them. The exact result of the experiment the young woman refused to make public. She said she was saving the information for an article, in which she would incorporate further experiments with pickles. "Why not." I suggested, "try out an ukulele on the animals?" So if you happen to see a young lady plunking on an ukulele, and singing to the polar bears the next time you go out to the zoo don't get alarmed. Salvage Section of Red Cross Doing Good Work Salvage Section of Red Cross Doing Good Work FOUR stray cats, two dogs, two canaries, an organ, four baby carriages, a set of bedroom furniture and a crate of eggs are only part of the things that have poured into the salvage section of the District Red Cross, of which Mrs. John Allan Dougherty is chairman. SALVAGE Two outfits for tiny babies were among the salvage. One bundle of clothing had never been used. It was plain and coarse but complete to a cake of soap. The other little bundle held clothes of some child that had died. A battered eyeless doll accompanied the little worn clothes. E. H. Droop & Son sent word to Mrs. Dougherty that they would bale their waste paper and send it to the salvage department hereafter instead of selling it. Other firms of the city have promised to do likewise. All the money raised by sales of salvaged articles goes into the District chapter of the Red Cross for war necessities and for the civilian fund. This fund takes care of dependents of the boys in service. Many offers of aid come to Mrs. Dougherty of the salvage committee. I. Rosenburg, the traffic policeman at Fourteenth and Pennsylvania avenue northwest, offered to drive his brother's truck all day Sunday. At least 500 tinfoil collecting boxes have been scattered throughout the city in shops, restaurants and all places where tinfoil is apt to be discarded. These boxes are plainly marked for the salvage section of the Red Cross. Twenty pounds of tinfoil were collected by Policeman Larrick, alone. All Because Small Boy Followed Jack-o'-Lantern THIS is about a Jack-o'-lantern journey which a boy took one starless night. If you have lived in the country where Jack flickers his sinister gleams over the marsh, you will know exactly how it happened that the boy, lost in the dark and mistaking the light for a candle in a cabin window, followed on and on until the squashy mud under the cat-tails would have mired him except that Adaline heard him call. A boy is searching for a fish in the river. Also, if you had known how the virtuous neighborhood treated Adaline—who was only a poor white—because of—but that is her own affair—you might have wondered why she should have risked her life, but some people are that way. Anyhow, the boy was saved, but when the baby came to earth with withered feet that could never walk, and a back that could never uncrumble, the people around said it was God's judgment—as if they personally knew. So Adaline came here and worked her poor splendid best until the baby's soap box became a cradle and then a cot, and after that a wheel chair and after that a casket—white, with shiny handles and fringe. You may have known Adaline professionally, because her baskets of wash went into the very best families until a few weeks ago, when she retired from business permanently. And now she isn't going to do anything in this world but sleep beside the crumpled-up boy in a green place under a tree. Which makes one glad for Adaline that there is another world for her to go to where she will have learned by this time that: "Greater love hath no man that he lay down his life for a friend." "Weaker Sex" Doing Its Part to Help Win the War THIS is the day of the farmerette, conductorette, clerkette and woman munition worker. The "win-the-war" woman is as inevitable a bit of the daily news as it is inevitable that the Yanks will keep on driving until Fritz Hun finds himself with his back to the last wall in Berlin. ОЩТА TH' WAY Everybody, by this time, realizes how well women are doing their bit in the ranks of the home army—the army that makes the very necessary work of our boys "over there" possible. It would be well if everybody could be brought to realize also that America has a few women Foches and Haigs and Pershings. The most important of all government appointments announced lately in this city of more appointments than disappointments was that of a woman, Miss Mary Van Kleeck, who rubbed her eyes one morning and read the news that she had become chief of the new women industry division of the United States department of labor. Being all that, which is equivalent to being generalissimo of all women who have their sleeves up for Uncle Sam, "General" Van Kleeck found also that she was the only woman with a seat on the national war labor policies board. A woman, Miss W. Wellborn—"Major Billy" Wellborn of the provost marshal general's office—dispenses more information regarding the operation of the draft than any other individual in the country. No local or district draft board in any city tells so many men "where they're at" as the little "major." THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1918 NOW THAT SEPTEMBER IS HERE NOW THAT SEPTEMBER IS HERE THE WEEKLY PRESS tons and buttonholes. White, adjustable collar and cuffs for it are in a lightweight pique or any other suitable white cotton or linen fabric. It is much like summer frocks except that the rep is a heavy fabric and the sleeves are long instead of elbow or three-quarter length. The pointed pockets and the wide belt with scalloped band across the front make the accessories a part of the neat effect of the design. Other materials—all those that have sufficient "body," as heavy linen, wool material, or canton crepe—might be used for a dress of this kind. It is a mystery to the younger generation—they cannot understand why the weeks that make up July and August pass so much more quickly than any other weeks in the year. Only a few days ago they turned their faces blissfully to the "long vacation" and now September is here in the briefest time imaginable and with it comes the beginning of the school year again. But the wholesome looking flapper whose camera image appears in the picture above, seems to be facing her school days with great cheerfulness. She is probably fortified and heartened by the consciousness that she is wearing a spick and span new school frock that is above reproach. Or she may have been cheered by looking over her entire outfit of clothes for school wear. It is the part of patriotism to use cotton or linen, for school dresses or to remodel the discarded wool dresses of grownups into school frocks for children. Plenty of washable collars and cuffs in cotton or linen stuffs teach the little maid to be neat and to give attention to the details of her dress. The frock pictured is made of heavy cotton rep in beautiful flag blue. It is made with a panel and inverted plaits at the front, with the plaits repeated at the back, and fastens along one side of the front panels with but- Besides her practical and pretty dress the little maid pictured above is fortunate in her smoothly braided hair tied with crisp ribbon bows. ENTER THE AIRPLANE COAT THE FASHION WEEK Here is the new airplane coat. It made its bow and was introduced to an admiring and expectant world at the style show held recently at the Morrison hotel in Chicago. Here those who think up and work out the apparel wherewithal we shall be clothed, come together and present the results of their efforts to the merchants who are to pass judgment upon them. line, ample, gracious garment; everything about it in generous proportions—the sleeves, pockets, girdle and buckle—even the buttons bespeaking the genius that designed it. Its most distinguishing feature is the square cape, lined with a silk brocade, that falls to the waistline at the back. This cape at the bottom is gathered into a band of fur and you would not suspect that by simply turning it up and fastening the band of fur about the head, by the very simple means of snap fasteners, the cape becomes a lovely turban with drapery falling about the head at each side. The sleeves are very long and finished with bands of fur like that on the cape. The fur may have been moleskin or some other short-haired pelt—flying squirrel ought to feel much at home on an airplane cont. The chances are that this coat will find itself protecting many a fair wearer who does her flying in a motorcar or on a pair of skates, but it is prophetic of a day that is surely coming when she will take to wings. There was a great gathering of handsome new coats at the style show, but this airplane coat was the most interesting of them all. Are we really about to fly and to need a special kind of coat for doing it? Cr, firmly convinced that we will never get our courage up to the flying point, are we going to have to forego this wonderful new achievement in coats? We are not. It may be a long time before we soar in an airship, but an airplane coat will shortly be among those present in many a smart wardrobe. This airplane coat was in taupe color and made of one of those soft, cozy-looking cloths, something like a thick velours, that have been christened with any number of fascinating but forgetable names. It is a straight- Julia Bottomly UPHOLD TRADITIONS OF FLAG American Sailors Have Never Been Found Wanting In That Courage Which Is Their Heritage. A radio to the bridge of our destroyer told of a steamer being shelled by a submarine. She was too far away for us to help, but it drew a reminiscence from the skipper, who had joined us on the bridge, Herman Whitaker writes in New York Independent. "Some one will go to her assistance and if she puts up a fight like the old L—— they'll stand a fine chance to be saved. We were 90 miles away when we got her first call and while we were smoking it over the ocean, just hitting the tips of the waves, the L—— kept us posted on the fight. It was like reading the rounds of a championship battle on a bulletin board: 'Bridge shot away!' 'On fire in two places!' 'Have extinguished the fires!' 'We have thrown code books and papers overboard!' "We were still 30 miles away when this happened, but we wirelessed her not to surrender and received a reply that would make a fine subtitle for a movie melodrama—"Never!" And she did not—thanks to the American naval gunners who refused to stop firing when the captain deemed it time to haul down his flag. It was their quartermaster who sent the radio." A little later came a second call for help; again too far for our service. Other radios that floated in late that night told how the derelict, deserted by captain and crew, had been towed in by a patrol and safely beached. Of those streaming radios never one that did not produce a tale or reminiscence from the "bridge." Usually tragic, recording the deaths of fine ships and brave men, their grimness was shot through here and there with a gleaming thread of humor. Such was the case of the M—— and L——, a fine munition ship that was carrying a $1,000,000 cargo when she was torpedoed 100 miles from the buses. From afar the admiral sent an anxious inquiry concerning her condition and progress. He received in reply: "We are making three and a half knots, but it is a d—— long way to Tipperary." It was, alas! The poor ship founded at sea. Then there was the Lovely Lucy, a trim little steamer that strayed away from her convoy during a thick mist. Late that evening a radio came in from a destroyer that had just picked up the estray, "What did you do to the Lovely Lucy? Found her at dusk, without an escort, zigzagging wild through the mist." Dimples Stop Traffic. The "ladies from hell," meaning the klifites, had the town by the ears when they were here; their klifites being the cynosure for all feminine eyes. But for creating a furore and stopping traffic the palm goes to the New Zealanders who arrived here on the wings of the warm wave. The reason is this: The fight-costume of the boys from the Antipodes consists merely of athletic trunks, a khaki tunic and a hat that sits on three hairs. It also can be mentioned that they wore regulation Scotch stockings. But it was the dimples in their nether extremities that stopped traffic. One of the warm climate soldiers wandered down in the financial district yesterday during lunch hour, and it is estimated that more than 2,000 stenographers went without their usual luncheon of angel cake and nut sundae. The girls gathered in groups, always at a distance, and talked about the latest fighting regalia. They all voted it a success, but at the same time wondered what would happen if any of New Zealanders, if by chance, wandered in the land of the voracious mosquito.—New York Herald. How They Took Machine Guns. The average civilian is unable to understand how it is possible to capture, single-handed, a machine gun, not to mention in many instances the gun crew besides. However, many such instances are being brought to light through the fighting around Bols de la Brigade de Marine. When the marines were advancing in waves upon the German lines the enemy machine guns had to be taken or the waves would be held up. The woods were crowded with them. There was only one way to take them and that was by a fearless dash. Sergt. James A. Ducey and Private Raymond B. Van Sickle, both marines, the latter only twenty years of age, took the German machine guns one by one and killed all of the officers and men who did not abandon their positions. By the dashing act of these two marines their line was enabled to advance. Sergeant Ducey's mother, Mrs. Ellen Ducey, lives at 141 John street, Washington Courthouse, O. Italia Garibaldi Runs an Ambulance. On the highway leading to Epernay, wagons and ambulances of all the allied armies were passing one after the other in an endless stream. An ambulance was driven by a young woman in khaki, covered with dust. The Italian soldiers resting along the road invariably saluted her with voice and gesture, and she in turn smiled sweetly back at them. She was Italia Garibaldi, niece of the hero of two wars. She is attached to a fine hospital for Italian Alpine troops situated in the neighborhood where she was seen. This hospital at present is filled with soldiers of all the allied armies, Americans included.—Italian-American News Bureau, Chicago. TALES FROM BIG CITIES YORK, PA.—When Jacob Miller shot at a big blacksnake that invaded his farm near here the other day, using an old musket that he carried for three years in the Civil war, he had not stopped to figure out the possible consequences. The snake, as before stated, was a big one, and as Miller had been missing chickens as well as eggs, he at once decided that the six-foot reptile was the guilty culprit and one that ought to be put out of business. (1921) It had been many years since he had fired the old war weapon, but as it was still in pretty fair condition he concluded to use it in dispatching the snake. He loaded it with an ample charge of coarse powder, rammed in a sufficient amount of paper wadding, poured in a small handful of buckshot, followed by more paper and some burdock leaves, and then started out in search of the snake. It was not long before the black reptile was seen emerging from beneath the back of the barn. When the snake saw Miller it started toward the lane leading past the dwelling house. Miller took good aim and pulled the trigger. He missed the intruder, but scored a hit on a basket of clothes that he had left upon the back porch. Anyway, the wadding of the gun struck the basket and set it afire. The blaze soon spread to the sun-beaten porch and presently the entire back part of the house was in flames. The flames spread quickly and by the time Miller had regained his feet—he had been knocked down by the "kick" of the musket—he realized that the structure was doomed. Nothing was left when the fire had burned itself out, but the slight wind that was blowing carried the sparks and flying embers toward the roadway, thus saving his barn and other outbuildings. "Of course, I feel my loss," said the farmer, after it was all over, "but I can't jest get over missing that pesky snake. Guess I must hew overloaded the old musket, as she generally hit whatever I shot at back in the 'sixties. Or maybe I can't shoot as straight as I useter. But I'll get that sneakin' reptile yet, if he stays 'round here long enough." Youngster Yearned for the Delights of Big City Youngster Yearned for the Delights of Big City PITTSBURGH.-Very naive and not the least affrighted by brass buttons and blue coats and all the austere paraphernalia of a police court, Veral Cluhenour, aged fourteen, giving his occupation with evident disdain as "school kid," walked into Central police station hand in hand with Patrolman Barney Mangin. IT IS A BUM NAME I COULDN'T STAND TH' PLACE "Here comes Mangin with another of his urchins," commented Lieut. John Callan, as he caught the approach in Cherry way of a piping voice relating things to Barney that caused that worthy to burst out in stentorian guffaws. Who'd ever thought Barney had arrested the child? But, child or patriarch, there have been many partakers of Central station hospitality who declared it was a real pleasure to be arrested by Barney. "Where ya from?!" questioned the sergeant. "From Berlin!" laconically replied Veral. "Where? I didn't get that," and the sergeant leaned over his high desk. "Berlin!" came the confirming reply; "from Berlin, Pa." It turned out that Veral, with a French cognomen, had departed his home town in the first place because of its name and in the second place because he wanted to see a big league baseball game before the leagues were knocked galley west by Secretary Baker's order. And Pittsburgh promised him both relief from the one and expectation of the other. "How'd ya expect to ent?" quizzed the persistent sergeant. "I should worry!" quoth Veral, as he drew from a trouser pocket a miscellaneous fistful of dollar bills, top strings and white stones. "Whew!" ejaculated Sergeant Baumgratz. "You'n me should both worry, huh?" put in Veral, as Barney took his hand and led him to the matron's sanctum to await word from his parents in Berlin. Probably Last Time He Will Pet Grizzly Bear Probably Last Time He Will Pet Grizzly Bear BOSTON.—Carl Hulner of Billerica and a pet grizzly bear both reached for the same bag of peanuts at Lexington park. In the scramble bruin got the peanuts and such a large portion of Hulner's right arm that doctors fear the rest of it will have to be amputated WHAT HAVE I DONE? The man, who is about fifty years old, thinking more of providing a few minutes' entertainment for the group of persons who had gathered before the park bear cage than of his own personal safety, ventured inside the guard rail that surrounds the cage to assume the temporary role of an animal tamer. Bruin, scenting the odor of the fresh-roasted peanuts, welcomed Hulner with glowing eyes. Before long the animal and man were lunching together as if they had long been old cronies. For the benefit of the onlookers, Hulner would occasionally pat the black head of his new-made friend and give expression to such exclamations as: "This is my bear." "You're my pet, aren't you?" "Just as tame as a kitten." Suddenly the bag of peanuts dropped from Hulner's hand into the cage. Hulner's arm accidentally struck in the spot which bears make it a point to guard as fenderly as possible—the tip of the nose. Apparently thinking the blow intentional, the grizzly dug a clawing paw into Hulner's arm while grabbing the bag with another. The man did not succeed in freeing his arm until much of the muscle and flesh had been torn from it. Then he scrambled out of the inclosure and staggered 50 yards before collapsing in a flower bed. While the bear busled himself in eating the peanuts the man was removed to the Symmes hospital at Arlington. Detroit Police Capture Elusive Girl Burglar DETROIT.—Stella Brentkowski, "girl burglar," was on her way to keep a date when Detective Fred W. Behrendt and other officers from the Bethune avenue station accosted her. "All dolled up, she was," said Behrendt. "Had to look twice before I knew her." The police interrupted the keeping of the date—for a while. They wanted to know where Stella got all those good clothes. And they say they learned the clothes came from the apartments of Ernestine Stumvoll and Miss Julia Latham, which had been reported robbed. WHERE DIDJA GET 'EM? ? The police were going to prevent Stella from keeping the date, but said Stella: "I gave that fellow a diamond ring and a signer ring to make him sure to remember his engagement." So the police kept the engagement along with the girl and they found, Behrendt says, that the young man had the rings, the property of Miss Stunnvoll. Afterward, Behrendt says, Stella was also accused of entering the apartments of Margaret Sullivan and Ada Maltry. And the police are still looking for owners of three women's hats, an umbrella, several skirts, bracelet and a ring. They found this property in apartments which had been robbed and it did not belong there, Behrendt says. It was in this way they got their clue to Stella when she was arrested for a series of similar escapades a short time ago, it was found she sometimes abandoned property she had taken in one place when she stole from another. She was then convicted only of simple larceny and placed on probation. This time she faces the serious charge of larceny from a dwelling. READY TO REMAKE AMERICAN WOUNDED Reconstruction Work Has Already Begun in a Number of Large and Well Equipped Hospitals central powers, studied at first hand by a corps of specialists, and supplemented by co-operative research under the direction of the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Disabled Men, and the National Association of Manufacturers, a programme has been worked out by the surgeon general's office of the army which is calculated to insure to every soldier of the United States who comes back from "over there" minus an arm or a leg, blind, deaf, or otherwise handicapped, a better chance of reinstatement as a useful member of society than was afforded to any of the soldiers of the allies in the first two or three years of the war. Germany alone, the only nation that was prepared for this war, had included detailed plans for the reconstruction of malmed and mutilated soldiers in its war program from the beginning, and, under its autocratic system of government, has been able to enforce these plans, with the result that every crippled German soldier is put to work at some useful occupation with the slightest possible delay after his injury. The allies have had to evolve their general plans as well as particular_methods out of the bitter experience of war, in this as in other phases of the great conflict, writes Frank Parker Stockbridge in New York Times. It was not until after the United States entered the war—in May, 1917, to be exact—that there was anything like a complete exchange of experiences and principles evolved from them in respect to the war cripple. Out of the first interallied conference on reconstruction and re-education of the disabled combatant, held in Paris May 8 to 12, 1917, at which delegates from the United States surgeon general's office sat for the first time as representatives of their nation at war, came an international interchange of knowledge and ideas concerning the war cripple. At a second conference, held in London last November, a permanent interallied committee was established which will have its headquarters in a new permanent institute for the disabled, endowed by the French government with 150,000 francs ($30,000) for building and equipment, and maintained by annual appropriations of 30,000 francs ($6,000) each by the different allied nations represented Already this clearing house of scientific and economic information for the benefit of the war cripple has done invaluable work in enabling the warring nations to profit by each other's experiences and mistakes. Not the least valuable contributions have come from American sources, our army surgeons having had opportunities for comparative observation of methods in vogue in different countries denied to those whose nations had been actually at war for three years. The United States, therefore, will begin its work of restoration with the accumulated experience of nearly four years to build upon. The first steps toward reinstatement to a self-supporting status, and by far the most important steps, must be begun almost immediately after the soldier receives the incapacitating injury and carried on continuously and cumulatively throughout the period of his hospital care. This is especially true in the case of the soldier who has lost a limb, or who has been blinded. One of the most important lessons gained from the experience of the allies, if not the most important, is that the problem of the restoration to usefulness of the crippled soldier is a psychological one, even more than it is surgical or economic. The experience of the French authorities, who had to deal with a terrific proportion of mutiles in the first two years of the war, was disheartening. Fewer than 17 per cent of disabled soldiers expressed a desire or even willingness to learn how to do useful work. A large proportion had "lost their nerve" at the same time that they lost their limbs or their eyesight. most of them felt that they had done enough for their country—that the nation owed them their living without effort. Because facilities for the early employment of patients, even at trivial occupations, were lacking in the military hospitals, they had acquired the habit of idleness which, when once fixed, is almost ineradicable. The experience of France differed only in degree from that of the other allied nations. To avoid a similar experience, and not only give every crippled soldier the best possible chance to become self-supporting, but to insure that he avails himself of the opportunity thus afforded, the psychological and economic rehabilitation of every American incapacitated by his injuries for further military service will begin with and go on parallel with his physical rehabilitation, which, in turn, will be a process not merely of "patching up," but of the actual development to their utmost usefulness of all the injured man's remaining physical powers. The first reaction of the man who has lost a limb is utter despair. He is "done for," in his own estimation. "Nobody has any use for a cripple," is the way in which nine out of ten express it. Unless he is a man whose former occupation has been mental, not dependent upon the use of his physical energies, he sees no ray of hope for his own future. Unless armedly rectified, this state of mind quickly becomes fixed and all but irremediable. So the first step toward rehabilitation, which will begin almost as soon as the injured man comes out from under the anesthetic, is what they are terming in the surgeon general's office "cheer-up work." By every means that can be devised the cripple is to be convinced that his case is not hopeless, that he still has chances of becoming again a useful T HE problem of putting the crippled or disabled soldier or sailor back into self-supporting civil life is one with which all the European belligerent nations have been struggling for nearly four years, with only partial success in its solution. Based upon the combined experience of the allies and the k a d s W PHOTOS © BY HARRIS & EWING C WOODWORKING SHOP IN HOSPITAL industrial unit-perhaps a better chance than he has ever had before One of the most important means of instilling this vitally important lesson will be through the utilization of "cheer-up men," themselves cripples, who have lost arms, legs or sight, and who have, nevertheless, made good. Plans are complete for the employment of a large corps of these "cheer-up workers;" they are being enlisted through the aid of the Red Cross institute, the National Association of Manufacturers, insurance companies dealing with industrial accidents, and from the ranks of Canadian and British soldiers who have suffered mutilation in this war and are again self-supporting civilians. Eventually, unless the war comes to a much earlier termination than Washington is figuring on, our own army will provide a supply of "cheer-up men" from the graduates of the reconstruction hospitals. These workers are to be attached to the base hospitals, the hospital ships that will bring the incapacitated soldiers back to America for treatment, and to the general and special hospitals on this side. Supplementing the work of the "cheer-up men," whose function is to demonstrate both orally and visually that a cripple is far from useless, will be books, pictures, motion pictures, and other exhibits calculated to inspire the will and stimulate the ambition of the injured man. In the surgeon general's office a wonderful book is being compiled, under the direction of one of the most famous of American surgeons, in which the life stories of hundreds of malmed and crippled men who have overcome their handicaps are told in simple but convincing fashion. Profusely illustrated, copies of this book will be available for the perusal of every crippled soldier in the hospitals. Motion-picture films showing crippled men who have undergone almost every conceivable form of mutilation, performing useful work for good pay, with and without the use of artificial members, are being prepared by the Red Cross institute and elsewhere for exhibition to the malmed soldier as early as he is able to see them. To insure against the habit of idleness, provision is being made for the employment of every crippled soldier at some form of work as soon as he is able to use any of his faculties. Special nurses, male and female, are being trained as "bedside teachers," to give the wounded man a start at employing his faculties before he is able to leave his cot. The things he does at first will necessarily be trivial in their results, but they will be required duties, gauged to the man's capacity and strength, and leading to his future career as a crippled civilian. Thus, the man who has lost his right hand will be taught to use his left for the things he was accustomed to do with his right; the stenographer who has lost a hand will learn to operate a typewriter with one hand—not so difficult a feat as it may seem. As the cripple becomes a convalescent, able to leave his bed, more work will be required of him. By this time he will be on the hospital ship, on his way back to the United States, for every wounded soldier who cannot be quickly restored to active service will be sent back to this country as soon as he can be transported, for further treatment or THE KANSAS-CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1918 different sections of the United States are to be used as reconstruction hospitals, where the maimed may be restored to their fullest usefulness. To each will be attached workshops, where at least the rudiments of different trades may be practiced; gardens and farm land for outdoor work, and every possible facility for encouraging the cripple to do his utmost toward self-restoration. Here, too, will be centered the work of the "reconstruction aids," a corps of instructors in physical training, specially trained for the work of drilling crippled men in the fullest use of their remaining muscles, to the end that they may exercise their faculties to the utmost. The degree to which the stump of an arm or a leg may become mobile and useful has been carefully calculated as a result of French experience; it is surprising to a sound man to discover how useful half a forearm, for instance, may become. The corps of reconstruction aids is being recruited from among men and women instructors in gymnastics under the direction of Miss Marguerite Sanderson of Boston. The fitting of artificial members to replace missing hands and legs has become almost a science in itself. Wonderful results have been achieved in Europe with marvelous and complicated hand mechanisms that enable their wearers to perform almost miraculous feats. For most crippled soldiers, however, the simpler forms, variations of the plain hook or the various forms of clamps for holding tools, are much more serviceable as working hands. A specialized body of surgeons is studying the whole subject under the direction of Surgeon General Gorgas, with a view to fitting every American soldier who may need such artificial aid with the type best adapted to his civilian needs. The general plan of reconstruction work contemplates caring for each disabled soldier or sailor in the reconstruction hospital nearest his former home. The plan of vocational rehabilitation contemplates training him to do something as nearly like his former occupation as possible. For instance, a journeyman carpenter who has lost an arm may be trained into a good superintendent of construction. If this can be done by placing him in a school where he will have an opportunity to learn how to read blueprints and understand specifications, such a school will be found. So far as possible, existing schools are to be utilized; most of the large industrial organizations already maintain technical schools for their employees, and these and other similar institutions will be opened to the discharged crippled soldier. And while the soldier or sailor is undergoing such re-education he will continue to receive the disability compensation to which he is entitled under the war risk insurance act. If the advice of those who have studied European experience is taken, any pension to which he may be entitled is to be based upon the nature and extent of his injuries and not upon his earning capacity. Both the reconstruction hospitals and the general scheme of rehabilitation in all probability will be open to civilian employees of the government injured in the discharge of their duty, and under certain restrictions the vocational rehabilitation may be made available for any person injured in any civil employment, under conditions to be established by the rehabilitation board. Out of the emergency of war, therefore, there will thus develop a permanent asset for peace, a long step toward solving the problem of putting the industrial cripple as well as the war cripple back on the pay roll.

P, B. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, by Western Newspaper Uplon.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 15 MAKING CHRIST KNOWN TO THE WORLD. (May be used with missionary application.) LESSON TEXTS—Matthew 5:13-16; 28:18-20 Acts 16:9-15. GOLDEN TEXT—Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.—Mark 16:15. DEVOTIONAL READING—Philippians 2:5-16. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS-Numbers 10:29; Psalms 96:3; Isaiah 6:8; Daniel 12:3; Luke 22:33; Romans 1:14; Philippians 2:4-16; James 5:19-20. 1. The Disciple's Relation to the World (Matt. 5:13-16). Christ saves with a definite purpose. The character of the subjects of the Kingdom is set forth in the Beatitudes. He gives a character which will wield an influence. The whole mass of mankind is shown in the Scriptures to be corrupt, and the whole world in darkness. The disciples are to live such lives as will purify and enlighten. Their responsibilities are set forth under the figures of salt, light, and a city. 1. "Ye are the salt of the earth" (v. 13). Salt is that which is opposed to corruption. It prevents the progress of corruption. The properties of salt are (1) Penetrating; (2) Purifying; (3) Preserving. Being salt, the disciples of Christ should penetrate, purify, and preserve society. Seeing on every hand the festering corruption of humanity, our responsibility is clearly set before us. The Christian should not go into seclusion. He should remain in the world, but not be a part of it. Let us be sure that as salt we do not lose our saltness, Christians cannot do good after they cease being good. 2. "Ye are the light of the world" (v. 14). Light illuminates and warns. Its gift is guidance. This world is cold and dark. Many are the pitfalls and snakes set by the devil. Christians should so live, let their light so shine, as to prevent the unwary ones from falling into them. They should guide the lost ones of earth so that they may find the path that leads back home to the Heavenly Father's house. 3. The city set on a hill (v. 14). By a city is suggested a governmental and social order. Christian character and service should be so as to give the influence of the hill-lifted city Christianity was not intended to be hidden, but to be made so conspicuous as not to be hidden, the grand objective being to glorify God the Heavenly Father (v. 16). II. The Disciples' Commission (Matt. 28:18-20). 1. What it is (v. 18). It is to teach, to make disciples. Christ's death on the cross and triumphant resurrection provided salvation for the world. "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). This great fact must be proclaimed to the world. The great commission is backed by the urgency of human need and divine love and compassion for this need. The disciples are to administer baptism in the name of the Trinity to those who believe, and teach them to observe all things which Christ commanded. 2. Its scope—all nations (v. 19). It is as wide as the world, and this obligation lasts until all the world is evangelized. 3. Its sustaining power—"all power is given" (v. 18). The divine energy is back of all those who go. Since he is with those who go the enterprise cannot fall. Opposition of the devil, sickness and death cannot thwart, because it is backed by divine energy. 4. The superintending providence—"I am with you" (v. 20). Though the disciples may be scattered far and vide, the divine Christ is always present to comfort, guide and sustain. This presence is guaranteed to the end of the age. III. Paul called to Macedonia to Preach (Acts 16:6-15). 1. Circumstances of (vv. 6-8). While pushing on the work of evangelization on his second missionary journey, the Spirit forbade Paul to preach further in Asia. Doors being thus closed, there was nothing to do but to go down to Troas. The guidance of the Spirit is as much by closing doors as opening them. 2. How called (vv. 9-13). It was by vision of a man from Macedonia saying: "Come over and help us." 3. What called to do (v. 10). 4. First-fruits of Paul's ministry in Europe (vv. 14, 15). Love of the Father. God is my father and I am his child. He has a father's heart, and I can count on the tender affections of that heart in the midst of all my feebleness and need. He loves me not because of what I am able to do, but because I am his child.—McIntosh. Word of God. The word of God will stand a thousand readings; and he who has gone over it most frequently is the surest of finding new wonders there.—J. Hamilton.

USE MORE HONEY IN YOUR COOKING One of Best Substitutes for Sugar to Be Found on Any Farm Is in Apiary. SEVERAL RECIPES ARE GIVEN Little Bee Makes It Possible for One to Indulge in Sweets Without Trou- in Preserves. If you keep bees, count yourself fortunate in these days of sugar stringency. The bees can provide you with one of the best of the sugar substitutes, and will make it possible for you to indulge your taste for sweets without hurting your conscience. With honey to supplement the limited sugar supply, the two pounds per person per month becomes a liberal allowance. Not only is the honey useful to eat as such, either strained, in the comb, or candied, but it lends itself to various combinations that make it practicable to use in place of sugar. Baked fruit, such as whole apples with the cores removed; baked whole peaches, or cooked dried fruit are very good sweetened with honey in place of sugar. Preserves or marmalades may also be made with honey. Apple or pear preserves made by the following recipe are very good: Honey Preserves 2 quarts apples or 1 teaspoonful cimpears cut into namon small pieces 1 cupful vinegar 2 cupful honey Heat the honey, vinegar, and cinnamon together and cook the pieces of fruit a few at a time in the sirup until they become transparent. Pour over all the sirup which remains after all the fruit is cooked. Honey may also be used in cake making or for sweetening ice cream, custards or puddings, and in cake and cookie making. In substituting honey for sugar you will get good results if you will follow your old recipes, substituting a cupful of honey for a cupful of sugar and using one-fourth less of whatever liquid the recipe requires. 2 curpits milk 1-8 cupful honey 3 egg yolks 1/8 teaspoon salt Mix the honey, eggs and salt. Scald the milk and pour it over the eggs. Cook in a double boiler until the mixture thickens. This custard is suitable for use in place of cream or gelatin desserts or to be poured over sliced oranges or stewed fruit. Here are some cakes and cookies making use of honey for sweetening that have been tested and found good. Some soda is added in most cases because of the slight acidity of honey. Soft Honey Cake. ½ cupful butter 1 teaspoonful soda 1 cupful honey ½ teaspoonful gin- 1 egg ger ½ cupful sour milk 4 cupfuls flour ½ teaspoonful clin-½ teaspoonful salt namon Rub the butter and honey together, add the egg, well beaten, then the sour milk, and the flour sifted with the soda and spices.

While the mixture is warm add the spices. When cold add part of the flour, the egg well beaten, the soda dissolved in water, and the raisins. Add enough other flour to make a dough that will hold its shape. Drop by spoonfuls on a buttered tin and bake in a moderate oven. Honey Sponge Cake. Honey Sponge Cake. ½ cupful honey 1 cupful afted flour ½ cupful honey ¼ teaspoon salt 4 eggs Mix the sugar and honey and boil until the sirup will spin a thread when dropped from the spoon. Pour the sirup over the yolks of the eggs, which have been beaten until light. Beat the mixture until cold; add the flour and cut and fold the beaten whites of the eggs into the mixture. Bake for 40 or 50 minutes in a pan lined with buttered paper in a slow oven. **Honey Cookies.** 2-3 cupful honey 1 teaspoonful all- 2-3 cupful sugar spice 2-3 cupful flour 2 ounces finely ½ teaspoonful soda chopped candied ½ teaspoonful cinnamon orange peel ¼ pound walnut 1 teaspoonful cloves meats, finely ½ teaspoonful salt chopped Sift together the flour, spices, and soda, and add other ingredients. Knead thoroughly roll out thin, and cut with a biscuit cutter. These cookies are very hard.

Make the most of your honey supply and save the sugar. ```markdown ``` The present honey crop of the United States barely exceeds 250,000,000 pounds. That the country produces even this much is unknown to most people, it is stated; for while honey was the chief form of sugar used in ancient times, the ease of getting cane or beet sugar has placed honey in the background. Now that our sugar supply is reduced by reason of supplying the allies with part of the sugar they need, the demand for honey has increased not only domestically but also for export. Green Tomatoes. When the first hard frost leaves you with a large supply of green tomatoes on hand you will make some of them into pickle—but do you know how good they are to use as a vegetable? They are very good sliced and fried. Slice in one-half inch slices, sprinkle with salt and fry until tender in a little fat. If you wish them browned, dip the slices in flour or bread crumbs or first dip in eggs and then in crumbs before frying. If you are fond of fried apple and onions, you will also like the following. Slice onion and green tomatoes and fry together. Serve at dinner or as a relish for supper. They are very good, too, stewed much as you stew the ripe ones. **Stewed Green Tomatoes.** 4 large green toma-2 tablespoonful suetes ½ teaspoonful pep- 2 tablespoonfuls per bread crumbs % teapoonful salt % teaspoonful onion 1 tablespoonful but- juice Scald tomatoes and remove skins. cut into quarters, boll until tender; season and thicken with crumbs. They give a distinctive flavor to cream soup, and are worth trying. Cream of Green Tomato Soup. 6 green tomatoes 1 cupful milk % teapoonful soda % teaspoonful salt 2 tablespoonfuls but- % teaspoonful peper Boil the tomatoes until tender and put through a strainer. Make cream sauce of butter and flour, to which is added milk, salt and pepper. Add pulp to which soda has been added. Allow to cook ten minutes in double boiler. Cottage Cheese With Fruits At this season of the year when the supply of fruits is at its highest and large quantities have been made into preserves, the combined use of preserved fruits and cottage cheese as a food-saving system should not be overlooked. The United States department of agriculture points out that cottage cheese with fruit preserves, such as strawberries, figs or cherries poured over it, and served with bread or crackers, makes a most appetizing and sustaining dish. If preferred, cottage cheese balls may be served separately or eaten with the preserves. A more attractive dish may be made by dropping a bit of jelly into a nest of the cottage cheese Peoples' Drug Store Northeast corner of Eighteenth Street and the Paseo For fourteen years we have served you.

Tea drinking seems to have originated in China; and the Chinese, according to Prof. King, in his "Farmers of Forty Centuries," drank it first as a sanitary measure, having found that boiling their water saved them from typhoid and afterward adding tea leaves to make the boiled water palatable. Dr. R. A. Gortner of the University of Minnesota, writing in Science, believes that this is not an exact description of what happened, but that the discovery of the efficacy of tea as a typhoid preventive came after its general adoption in China as a pleasing drink. A man in the draft who would much rather have stayed at home complained of having poor eyesight. After being put through the eye test the doctor told him to go in the next room for further examination. The man gave a sigh of relief.

War Stops 'Sea Bathing' Humorists have recently added to the list of the war's alleged horrors the fact that Londoners can no longer bathe in sea water in their own homes. The facts in the case are reported by Popular Mechanics 'Magazine, as follows: It seems that for years one of the English railways has maintained a "sea-water" service. For the small sum of 12 cents it has delivered to any customer a large can of real ocean water for bathing purposes, calling for the can the following day. Now, however, Londoners, who pride themselves on being "the best tubbed people in the world" must forego these "sea baths," for the railway has discontinued its service on account of war conditions. Henceforth fresh water must suffice for cleansings. Swiss Adopt 24-Hour Clock. The Swiss federal council, under date of April 19, 1918, has decreed that the Swiss transportation systems, the management of the telegraph system, the customs service, the federal government works and the remaining institutions under federal government management shall, up to the return of normal conditions, but not before May 1, 1919, establish the 24-hour day, numbering the hours from 1 to 24, beginning at midnight. The Swiss federal railway department is empowered to fix the definite date upon which the 24-hour day is to be enforced. "I guess your boy will soon return from college." "Yes," replied Mr. Cobbles, with a thoughtful look. "No doubt you expect him to help you on the farm this summer?"
