Bell Phone East 999 and 2789 VOLUME X. NUMBER 4. MARTIN IS FREED OF MUR DER CHARGE. Jury Out Forty-Five Minute Only When It Found Columbia Colored Boy Not Guilty. SELF DEFENSE PLEA WAS A STRONG ONE. Man Exonerated Makes Statement Expressing His Thanks for Treatment. Theodore Martin, of Columbia, the Colored boy charged with the murder of Romeo West, right hand man of President Allen, former head of Lincoln Institute, was found not guilty by a jury in the circuit court last Wednesday. He was immediately discharged from custody and walked out of the court room a free man. The trial came to a conclusion after the attorneys had finished their arguments. Both sides were well presented, but the demeanor of the defendant on the witness stand had much to do with the creating the idea in the minds of the jurors that he had killed West only in an effort to prevent West from killing him first. The fact that the automatic pistol found on West had not been discovered until the morning after the shooting raised some doubt in their minds, but the fact that West had made some previous efforts to stag Martin with a fish-gig and had made threats were sufficient to warrant the belief his life was in danger. After receiving the instructions from the court the jury took forty-five minutes to make up its mind which it is understood was a unanimous opinion. Last night Martin made the following statement: "I desire to express my thanks to my friends, both white and Colored, for thirst most kindly consideration during my stay here as manager of the boarding department at Lincoln Institute and also for the degree of regard in which I was held while under a cloud awaiting trial. I was always made to feel as though as I were a citizen and never at any time was I humiliated. "I also wish to express my thanks to the officers of the law and the daily press of the city, particularly the Capital News, and shall strive to live in the future that none shall ever have reason to feel their confidence in me misplaced." HOSPITAL PAYMENTS. Payments of pledges to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital still continue to come in, though rather slowly, and the Board of Managers hope before the dedication, however, September 29, to collect at least $1,000, and expect that an additional thousand will be raised on the day of the dedication. One of the pleasing incidents of the week which deserves mention was the subscription of five dollars made by Mrs. Versia Rice, one of Kansas City's popular and well known matrons, who said that none of the solicitors had ever been to see her, and yet she and her husband felt that it was their duty to make a contribution to a laudable enterprise of this character. The following have completed their payments during the week: $50.00— Dr. C. C. Connover. $15.00— Mr. William H. Nolen. $5.00— Mrs. Carrie Clarke, Lon Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Rice. $1.00 N. S. Adkins, Deputy of the American Woodmen. The Sun regrets that in its published list of PAID IN FULL contributors it failed to insert the $50.00 Liberty Bond contributed by the Fifth Grade pupils of Attucks School through their teacher, Miss Maude Olden, and cheerfully makes a correction at this time. Pay your pledge—keep your word. The dedication of the new Wheatley-Provident Hospital has been finally set for Sunday, September 29, The Kansas City Sun 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.

Col. Jones paid a splendid tribute to the leaders of the race in Kansas City, declaring that, in this respect, Kansas City led all other cities in this country. He stated that he had no room in his heart for race prejudice and that he was fully converted to the idea of forming a Negro battalion for Kansas City. The speech was a most convincing argument and won a warm place in the hearts of the Negroes for Col. Jones. Hon. W. C. Hueston presided and spoke eloquently for a "square deal" for his people. Prof. J. R. E. Lee, prince of promoters, was at his best, and the people added one more star to his many for leading in every way possible. Prof. J.

FORT RILEY, KANS There are Johnnies by the score Who will face the fire of war, Without a bomb or rifle in their hand They'll be men marked by the foe, Yet they'll never have to go With the troops that fight and fall in No Man's Land. You will fight them there with bells When the gunners yell for shells, And the front line trenches holler for their chuck; And while shy on reputation, As the heroes of a nation, They are master drivers of the army They are master drivers of the army truck— truck— What care they for praise and cheers, If the piston-brakes and gears Of their transports but withstand the racking strain? They've a route that grants no change When the boches get their range, They must drive from here to hell and back again, They will more than "see it thru." Make deliveries P. D. Q.

Harry Brown, 22 years of age, son of Mrs. Laura Brown, a widow of Mecca, Mo., and a brother of Dr. G. W. Brown, one of our best known and most popular physicians, was struck with a stone by a young Negro named Dade at the Lyric Hall last Saturday night and died Wednesday morning. Young Brown, who had just come here from Minneapolis, where he has been employed, in response to a notice from the War Department to report for duty, was in company with a young woman of whom Dade was extremely jealous and was struck down without warning. Brown was a graduate of Western College, Macon, Mo., and had volunteered in the service last summer, but had been rejected at first but on second examination was accepted and was here to report. The funeral was held at 11 o'clock Friday morning at Mecca and quite a few friends of the family were in attendance while the floral offerings were very beautiful. Besides his mother he leaves four brothers and three sisters to mourn his loss. Dade has been arrested and is now Dade has been arrested and is now in jail awaiting trial. FIVE SOLDIERS HANGED San Antonio, Tex., Sept. 17.—The five Negroes whose sentences to death were pronounced by court-martial which tried them for participation in the Houston riot and whose sentences were approved by President Wilson, were hanged at Fort Sam Houston at daybreak today. No civilians were allowed to witness the execution of the sentences, which were carried through with great secrecy. Those who paid the death penalty were all members of Company I of the Twenty-fourth Infantry. They are: Privates "Babe" Collier, Thomas McDonald, Joseph Smith, James Robinson and Albert D. Wright. The men were convicted at a court-martial conducted in October, 1917, at which Brig. Gen. George K. Hunter was president. Ten other members of the Twenty-fourth who were sentenced to be hanged by the court-martial, were granted a commutation of sentence to life imprisonment by President Wilson. KILLED IN GUN FIGHT Negro Is Slain in a Quarrel Over a Watch. Joseph Brown, 34 years old, 2039 East Nineteenth street, was killed in a gun fight with Leonard Sims in the street at 1718 Virginia Wednesday night. A number of shots were fired by both men. Mrs. Caroline Oden, who lives at 1718 Virginia, was attracted to the front door by the pistol shots. A stray bullet struck her in the thigh, inflicting a dangerous wound. She was removed to the city hospital. Sims escaped. The two men and the woman are colored. 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. A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS. The Corner stone laying of the beautiful new and imposing building now being erected for the AGED AND INFIRM NEGROES of Jackson County last Sunday was an overwhelming success and the attendance far surpassed the expectation of the General Committee. Five hundred people went out from Kansas City alone while large delegations were present from Independence, Lee Summit, Parkville, Liberty and Pleasant Hill; and considering the threatening weather and the distance (18 miles from Kansas City), which could only be reached with a conveyance, it was truly one of the most remarkable gatherings in the history of this county. More than one hundred and fifty Masons in uniform were in attendance and quite a few as well as other friends were left at the Masonic Temple on account of the impossibility of securing more vehicles. Prof. Blackburn's Masonic Union Band furnished music for the occasion and gave a delightful concert at the Temple before leaving the city, while the Masonic Choir of forty voices under the direction of Mrs. Eva M. Fox won the hearts of all present, white and colored, by their delightful renditions. Addresses were delivered by Principal J. R. E. Lee of Lincoln High School; Prof. Herriford of the W. W. Yates School; Prof. Coles, Past Grand Master of Masons and principal Garrison School; Prof. Harrison of Independence, principal of the Attucks School of this city; Mr. F. A. Harris, secretary of the Y. M. C. A.; Mr. J. J. Mattjoy, probation officer; Dr. Howard M. Smith, superintendent of the Home, and all three judges of the County Court, Judges Woodson, Pendleton and Bulger; Rev. T. G. McCampbell conducted the religious exercises preceding the speech making, while Hon. Nelson C. Crews was master of ceremonies for the afternoon. At the conclusion of the speechmaking Mr. Crews introduced Mr. E. G. Lacey, Grand Lecturer for the Masonic fraternity, who in a few well chosen words presented the Most Worshipful Grand Master of Missouri and Jurisdiction, W. W. Fields, of Cameron, Mo., who after a few brief remarks proceeded with the impressive beautiful Masonic ceremonies of laying the corner stone. Mr. Richard Fullbright, Grand Standard Bearer, carried the beautiful banner of the Grand Lodge, while Brother Nelson Wallar, Master of Liberty Lodge, proudly carried Old Glory. It was a glorious day and the first time in the history of the state when a Negro fraternal organization was invited and performed the ceremony of laying the corner stone of a public building of this character. There were many amusing incidents connected with the trip to the scene of the corner stone laying and returning. Several of the automobiles that started failed to reach their destination, while many of the occupants of the other cars were drenched by the downpour that came immediately after the conclusion of the program. EXTRA—As we go to press, communication has been received from the Government at Washington announcing that unless the court can prove conclusively that the new building is an imperative essential that work will have to be discontinued until the termination of the war; that no iron, steel, copper, brass and other war requirements can be permitted to enter the construction of any building until all the needs of the Government are satisfied. The court and the general committee are preparing a letter to be sent to Washington urging that the immediate completion of the building be not delayed. DR. JOSEPH L. JOHNSON NEW MINISTER TO LIBERIA. Dr. Joseph L. Johnson of Columbus, Ohio, has been appointed minister resident to Liberia. Dr. Johnson was for some years special examiner for the U. S. Pension Bureau. Mr. Richard C.

My dear Mr. Crews: No doubt the readers of your valuable paper would be interested in knowing something of Camp, Dodge and what is being done for the Colored soldiers there. I shall in brief state some of the things we are doing. Camp Dodge is located on a beautiful site about fifteen miles from the city of Des Moines, Iowa, and is reached by a splendid trolley line, giving service every forty minutes. The camp has accommodations for about 50,000 men and is usually filled to capacity. Of this number about 10,000 are Colored. The relations between the Whites and Colored are most cordial, there being no friction to speak of during the five months I have been there, this, in spite of the fact that Whites and Colored are often housed together in the same barracks. There are two Colored Y. M. C. A. Units—the second unit having been formed about two months ago, and the writer put in full charge of same, which position is styled Building Secretary.

There is also a new Hostess House for Colored, which is said to be the most up-to-date building of its kind yet erected and, is now having the finishing touches put on it as well as the furnishings installed. With the addition of these two buildings the Colored soldiers of Camp Dodge will have as good, if not better, accommodation than any camp in the United States. Most sincerely yours, L. C. STEWART.

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

Unofficial reports filtering back from the fighting front in France have added the final touch of amplification to the phrase contained in a German official statement when the big drive by American troops was at its heights a few weeks ago, and which noted that "black Americans" had hammered their way gloriously through the Hun lines. It was not, though, until the battle was over, according to the unofficial version of the same fighting, that the brigade commander summoned the colonel of a Negro regiment before him and demanded to know in tense military fashion, why that colonel had not maintained better control over his troops, and why, above everything else, he had not "stopped" his men and kept them from passing beyond their appointed objectives, and in fact, hacking their way through ahead of their own protective barrage. "Stop them?" queried the colonel. "Stop them?" Hell, man, how could you expect me to stop them, when the whole German army couldn't do it?" The brigade commander's reply is not of record, either officially or unofficially, but the story is only one of a thousand that is being told of the admirable dash and courage of the Americans who compose the Negro units of the expeditionary force and which everyday are out there in the thick of the fighting and holding their place in the line wherever they may be called upon to do their military bit. In just the same manner, the men who compose those regiments are partaking of the carefully built up welfare work that is being accomplished on both sides of the water by the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities. In fact, they are receiving special attention, both in the camps in this country and K. of C. huts in France, and the work among the Negro troops is being broadened as rapidly as the numbers of the Negro troops grow, under the operation of the selective service laws and by voluntary enlistment, the latter apparently being a particularly inviting method for Negroes getting into the army. Under the system as it now has been worked out, the Negro soldier needs no other countersign than his khaki uniform to gain for him everything advantage offered by the Knights' service. True, there are places, both in this country and abroad, where the Knights of Columbus have erected special huts for the use of the Negro soldiers. But where that has been done, it has been at the express request of Negro soldiers themselves, who in numerous instances have expressed a preference for a building of their own, where they may enjoy their own pleasures in their own way, and be assured of meeting their own friends when and where and under what circumstances they desire. As the work expands and as the number of Negro troops has been enlarged, the facilities for catering to their wants have been correspondingly increased in keeping with the recently adopted slogan of the organization "Everybody Welcome—Everything Free." The baseballs, tennis equipments, shower baths, books, candy, cigarettes and all the other things which the Knights have been distributing to the soldiers in this country as well as abroad the transports and in the camps, rest billets and front line trenches in France have gone in equal proportion to the Negro troops under the organization's rule that the war service of the Knights shall be conducted without regard to race, color, religion or any other factor except that the recipient of it be a member either of the military or naval forces of the United States.

Some preachers have outlived their usefulness in this community and the sooner the public lets them know it the better. What tangible reason can the political parties of this city give, save color prejudice, for denying the 40,000 Negroes of Kansas City representation upon the School Board? We're going to find out before the next election. Those places of business, whether controlled by Negroes or white, who have failed to wash their windows, sweep their walks and keep their premises in presentable condition do not deserve and should not have the patronage of decent, respectable Negroes at any time. A first class business presents a first clas front. The coming of the Annual Conference of the Southwest Missouri District to be held October 2d will bring together a splendid and intelligent body of Christian gentlemen who are doing much for God, the race and their Church, and it is hoped that they will receive a most hospitable reception that has ever been tendered a Conference in the history of its career. The magnificent demonstration of the Negro people of Jackson County under most unfavorable weather conditions at the laying of the corner stone of the Home for Aged and Inform Negroes, eighteen miles from the city, accessible only by automobile or wagon, was a distinct credit to the race and demonstrates that the Negro is loyal to those who give him fair recognition and consideration.

Clarke.) Helena friends of C. F. Jones, of Butte, are pleased to learn of his successful candidacy for the nomination on the Republican ticket as a representative in the lower house, from Silver Bow county. Mr. Jones was in the city last week attending the Republic can state convention and incidentally looked in on conference and the state fair. Mrs. Nathaniel Ford, who was taken sick after the strenuous work of conference week, is reported much improved. Mrs. Laura Sydney, of Townsend, was in the city for the state fair. was in the city for the state war. Bandero York, who has been working on a ranch 23 miles out of Townsend, was in town looking over the fair. The Misses Hildreth, Ruth and Helen Christian and brothers, of Townsend, were visitors in the city during fair week. Mrs. J. E. Ingram entertained the ladies of the conference on the afternoon of the 7th. Mrs. Ida Welsh is recovering from an attack of tonsilitis. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert O. Cole and Herbert Jr. of Butte, have returned home after visiting with Mrs. George M. Lee for a week. Mrs. David S. Gordon was the hostess to a motoring party, in which Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Isaacs of Portland and Mrs. George S. Allen of Butte, were the honored guests. Part of the trip included a ride over the famous Cannon boulevard from which a splendid view of Helena and Prickly Pear Valley was obtained. Mrs. Josephine Duffy of Missoula was a delegate to the Annual Conference representing the church at that point. Saturday, the last working day of the Puget Sound Conference, witnessed the most touching and impressive scene of the meetings when Rev. J. S. Collins, venerable warrior of the conference, asked to be superannuated. Rev. Collins prefaced his request with a complete, but brief, resume of his more than half century labor as a worker in God's grand army. He spoke of the names of Bishops under whom he had served, and dwelt feelingly upon the numerous charges in which he pastored. It was a sad occasion, and when Bishop Parks replied in a voice tremulous with deep emotion, there was scarce a dry eye in the entire audience. A complimentary collection was lifted by the conference and presented to Rev. Collins. A similar scene was enacted Sunday evening when Rev. C N. Dougits, presiding elder, was granted a like request. While these scenes are sad and bring tears to the eyes of strong men, they proclaim the glorious victory of life faithful to duty. Mrs. Fannie-May Bebell Hughes and daughter, Mrs. Fay Nichols, of Seattle, Wash., were visitors to the annual conference and were the guests of Mrs. Arthur E. McGinnis. Mrs. Hughes will remain a month in Helena then returning to Seattle, will be accompanied by her cousin, Mrs. McGinnis. Mrs. Fay Nichols has gone to Great Falls to continue a visit with her father, Mr. John Taylor, before returning to Seattle. Mr. Taylor runs a large sight-seeing motor car in the Smelter city, which was quite popular in Helena during fair week. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Harris of Bozeman motored over to the fair. They were domiciled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Judge D. Hart. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McCracken came overland in their car from Great Falls to inspect the fair. Word has been received that Geo. Robnett is some place over in France. The dance given by Pride of Montana Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was the social event of fair week that gave entertainment to many persons who visited the state fair. The $5.00 "Baby Bond" was captured by Mr. Maney and Mrs. Julia Young, and $2.50 in Thirst Stamps by Mr. Julian Lee and Miss Ruby Davis. Miss Davis is from Anaconda. Mr. and Mrs. Gus Lowrey, in their Overland, had as their guests for a motor trip, Mrs. H. B. Parks, wife of the Bishop and Mrs. J. B. Isaacs. They were rescued out in "no man's land," between Helena and East Helena by Mr. and Mrs. Ford's party, and brought to town. JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI. Cole County has been requested by the Government to subscribe a million dollars' worth of Fourth Liberty Bonds. This is a big task, but Cole County, as in teh past, will "Go over the top," and we feel that every patriotic colored resident will do his part. As one individual, we must stand behind our Government and help raise the quota assigned to Cole County....A great Emancipation and Inaugural Celebration will be held Saturday, September 21st, on Lincoln Institute campus.

The whole community sympathizes with the Rev. in his bereavement....Lincoln Institute is in full blast and we predict a very good year for the school under its able management....A meeting consisting of the men constituting the executive body of the Emancipation and Inaugural Celebration to be held at Lincoln Institute Saturday, September 21st, met at the Christian church, of which Prof. Damel, general manager of the occasion, is pastor, and by a majority of the votes present decided not to hire the Ladies' Band to play on the occasion. Some contended that since this was a patriotic affair that the band should furnish their services free, while others held that they should be paid, since they were at an expense of buying music, etc. Quite a heated discussion followed, whereupon a committee consisting of Rev. Dodson, Prof. Collins and Mr. Stokes were appointed by the chairman to wait upon the band, which was at this same time practicing at Mr. Mason's, their manager's, home. The committee shortly stated that the band would play on the occasion for eighteen dollars....We are pleased beyond description at the way our friends are buying The Sun.

He also says that every man and woman in K. C. who has Negro blood in his or her veins owes their membership to this Order, because we aredoing our bit in America to make the country safe for the Negro. Why? Because we pay out $8,000.00 every month in salaries. There have been some changes made in the Deputy Staff. Deputy C. A. Campbell has succeeded Mr. C. A. Astwood as Supervisor of teh work here. Deputy Campbell has secured the membership of Mr. W. C. Hueston, one of the greatest lawyers in the state. He is Grand Treasurer of the Order of Odd Fellows of the state of Missouri.

OPPORTUNITY presents Itself, especially if you are a newcomer to the national capital, take a little hike through the beautiful park on the north west corner of the city and become acquainted with some of the prettiest mill road entrance, down which, every sunshiny Sunday afternoon, stream hundreds of people from all sections of the city. This entrance leads down the stone steps, and affords perhaps the most picturesque dourway to the zoo. ‘The Connecticut avenue entrance is perhaps the most pleasant way of all for those who are not fond of walking, and admits one at once into the park, But there is yet another way of getting into the park, and with the initiated the favorite.

MAKING VINEGAR ON SMALL SCALE Important for Housewife to Pre- pare Her Own Supply for Use This Year. USE SOUND AND RIPE FRUIT Contain More Sugar Than When Green or Underripe and Consequently Produce Stronger Article— Kegs Should Be Clean. Since war industries are using great quantities of acetic acid, the acid pres- ent In vinegar, in the manufacture of airplane wings, and in many other ways In munitions of war, the demand on the commercial vinegar plants ren- ders the making of vinegar in the home more important than ever before, ‘The directions given below are for | making vinegar on a small scale for household use. While the principle ts the same in manufacturing on a com- mercial scale, different methods are employed in handling targe quantities, ‘The fruit used for making vinegar should be sound and fully ripe. Pare tially decayed fruit 1s no better for vinegar making than for eating and should not be used. Frults, when ripe, contain more sugar than when green or underripe and consequently produce a stronger vinegar, Cider Mill or Food Chopper. For these reasons select sound, ripe frult. Wash thoroughly and remove all decayed portions, Crush either in ‘@ machine made for this purpose, such as a cider mill, or, for small quantl- ties, run through a food chopper. Squeeze out the juice in a press and put into a clean barrel, keg or crock for fermentation, If press is not avall- able, allow the mass to ferment for two or three days and then squeeze by hand through cheesecloth, More Juice ts ob- tained In this way. Great care should be taken to have all the utensils thor oughly clean and to handle the frult in a cleanly manner. If old kegs or bar- rels, especially old vinegar barrels, are used, they should be cleansed thor- oughly and all traces of the old vinegar removed. If this is not done, the old vinegar will interfere with the alco- holic fermentation and possibly spoll the product. After the juice has been squeezed out, add a fresh compressed yeast cake to every five gallons of the Julce. Work the yeast up thoroughly in about one-half cup of the juice and add to the expressed juice, stirring {t thoroughly. Cover with a cloth to keep insects away and allow to fer- ment, ‘The best temperature for fer- mentation is between 80 and 90 degrees F. Do not put in acold cellar, as 4s the custom in many localities, or the fermentation will be too slow. At 80 to 90 degrees F, alcoholic fermentation will usually be complete in from three to four days to a week. In other words, {t will stop “working,” as indl- cated by the cessation of bubbling. It is now ready for the acetic acid fer- mentation; during which the alcohol is changed into acetic acid. Add Some Strong Vinegar. After the active alcoholic fermenta- tion (bubbling) stops, it will be found advantageous to add some good, strong, fresh’ vinegar in the proportion of one gallon of vinegar to three gallons of fermented juice. Instead of the vinegar one can add & good quantity of the so-called “moth er.” If “mother” is used, however, one should use only that growing on the surface of the vinegar, and not that which has gone to the bottom, Vine- gar mother which has fallen to the bottom is no longer producing acetic After adding the vinegar, cover with a cloth and keep in a dark place be tween 70 and SO degrees F, prefers ably at 80 to 85 degrees F. Do not disturb the film that forms, for this is the true mother, the acetic acid bac- teria which turn the fermented Juice to vinegar. Do ndt exclude the air. ‘The acetic acid bacteria must have air for growth. Taste the juice every week, and when it is sour, as tt will be- come—that is, doesn't increase in acid, or when ‘it is as sour as desired— syphon off and store in kegs, jugs or bottles, filled full and stoppered tight. If this 4s not done after reaching the maximum acidity, the acid will gradu- ally disappear and the yinegar will “turn to water.” If stored In well- stoppered, full receptacles, this cannot happen, for the absence of alr prevents this change. If the directions are followed, espe- clally as regards temperature, the process will usually be completed in six weeks to two months in cases where only a few gallons of juice are used. Apple vinegar may clarify itself spontaneously, but if it should remain cloudy and turbid, must be clarified to make a nice-appearing product, A common method is to store the vinegar in barrels, undisturbed for a consld- erable time, and then “rack off; that is, draw off carefully, so as not to dis- turb the sediment. This 1s repeated several times, and usually gives a fairly clear product. VINEGAR DON’TS 1. Don't put the freshly ex- pressed Juice into old vinegar kegs or barrels without thor- oyghly cleansing and scalding. 2. Don't add “mother” to freshly pressed Julee- 8. Don't add old “mother” from the bottom of an old vine- gar barrel. 4; Don't put in a cold cellar. 5, Don't store in full barrels and expect it to make vinegar. 6, Don't put in too warm a “place or expose to sunlight in summer to hasten, fermentation. 7, Don't expose to bright light after adding vinegar, 8. Don't leave vinegar ex- posed to the alr after it is made, EF EETT TEE EEE ETT TEE T EES Tomei Vinenar In attempting to utilize the tomato in as many ways as possible, it is not uncommon practice, especially with “tomato club” girls, to make what Is termed “tomato vinegar.” ‘This prod- uct is not a vinegar, although it has sour taste and toa certain extent, as in salads and for table purposes, can ‘be used as a substitute for vinegar. It Is really a lactic acid fermentation instead of acetic ack and for this rea- son 1s more like sour milk and sauer- kraut juice, It spolls rapidly after fermentation unless it 18 put into bot- tles, filled as full as possible? and corked tight, After opening and ex- posure to the air the product will spall unless kept very cold, In making this product the juice 1s*collected and al- lowed to stand in a warm place for a few days. After tt becomes sour it should be filtered or strained and stored in bottles filled full and corked tight. It is sald that products of this type are belng used as substitutes for vinegar in Austria, ‘There appears to be no reason why such @ product could not be used in salad and meat dress- ings with entire satisfaction, ‘Try washing the wristbands and collars of the men's shirts with a small, stiff serubbing brush. Lay them flat on the board, wet the brush and rub it across the bar of soap, then scrub the cloth with short strokes of the brush, ‘Two dishpans instead of one make dishwashing much easter, The sec- ond should be filled with hot water, and when the dishes are drained they need only @ touch of the cloth to dry them. ms ° * INTERESTING TEE PROM TILGEVESs Many Willing Aids of Dan Cupid in Emergency Lsoce weltiag ciooe aharis Eitutie & catgsatr tee atk Wee tae intervention and assitance of the Indianapolis canteen workers at the union | hope that his “intended” had waited or that the train had beerlate, Neither happened. After searching the room and inquiring of trafnmen if they had ‘seen Miss Nelson he told his “troubles” to the canteen workers at the station, Immediately Investigation began. Miss Nelson was located at the Hotel Lincoln and hurried to the station, Then began a hunt for the marriage license, But alas! the county clerk’s office was closed—it was a half holiday. Further consultation between the unhappy pair and the canteen workers resulted in Interesting Will Hough, a Greenfield attorney, who was waiting for a train home. Mr. Hough telephoned the clerk of Hancock county at Greenfield of the plight of the couple and the clerk volunteered to meet thenr at Greenfield and issne the necessary permit. Just a few minutes before midnight the marriage license was issued. Meanwhile the lateness of the hour loomed as a hindering factor in finding ‘a minister to perform the ceremony.

Saving ships that have been damaged, lifting those, even, that have been sunk, and restoring them to seagoing condition, are among the methods which have gradually been improved in England as the stringency of the shipping shortage be- B came greater each month. The reason why the British authorities were not fully equipped to raise every ship that was sunk from the very start of the war is purely commercial. Salving ships costs money. Building new ones costs money. So long as the cost of salving was equal or even slightly in excess of the cost of building, so long it was not worth the while of owners to order salvage operations—just so long were invention and progress in the art of salvage delayed. When the salving of ships became urgent in the course of 1916 inventors of new appliances and new methods, salvage experts of many years standing, set their brains to work, and the result is that today ships can be raised and repaired from positions that two years ago would have been abandoned as hopeless. As showing how need stimulates invention, I may instance a discovery in chemistry which has proved to be of the utmost value in salvage work, writes H. C. Ferraby in Country Life. It is obvious that when a ship, laden with grain, beef, or other perishable stuffs, gets water-logged with seawater, something very unpleasant is going to happen to her cargo. In point of fact, it turns into miniature poison-gas factory. Grain produces sulphuretted hydrogen, and the salvage men who stumble on a pocket of that in a beached ship would be selzed with violent sickness, would be partially blinded for some time, and would turn a dull leaden color in the face. Experiment brought an antidote to this trouble, and now the cargo of a ship that is to be salved can be sprayed with a special solution as soon as there is any reason to suspect poison gas. This spraying removes all danger. Salvage work before the war was purely a private enterprise. The admiralty had no salvage branch, and when warships went ashore or were beached after collision the private firms, like the Liverpool Salvage association, were called in. War altered that, like many other things in the maritime world, and today the whole of the salvage work around the United Kingdom is carried out by an admiralty department. But since the men manning that department are, without exception, the former heads of the salvage business, the difference is mainly in titles and not in methods. Warship salving is confidential, and the work done by the department in this direction cannot be described. Its share in keeping the allies supplied with merchant ships, however, is not secret, and the record of work done since October, 1915, is an excellent one. Down to the end of 1917 the admiralty salvage section, under the guidance of Capt. F. W. Young, had rescued 260 wrecked, mined or torpeded ships and sent them in for repairs. All that time their experience was growing. New material was being built for the work, new ideas were being put into practical shape, and the result is that the year 1918 has so far seen a remarkable increase in the number of ships saved. The figures for the early part of this year are: January, 14; February, 41; March., 37; April, 36; May, 19; giving a total of 147. Thus in 32 months 407 ships have been restored to the world's mercantile tonnage. The Germans count all these and some of them twice over, in their calculations of the tonnage loss inflicted on the allies by the submarine campaign. Every salvage man will tell you that the only thing certain about it is that you never know what is going to happen. A ship may be ashore in the simplest position, with just one big hole in her to be patched up, and it looks like a job that will take a few days. In the end you are, perhaps, six months hanging around with that one ship before you can get her to float. Weather, tides and the condition of the cargo all play a leading part in the work. The only thing the salvage man has got to do all the time is to be patient. That, perhaps, is why they all look so tired. Waiting is a weary business. The weather is the worst enemy of salvage men. It is very nice on a fine summer's day to stand on the cliffs and look down at the busy humming workshops that we call salvage steamers clustered round a wreck that shines red with rust in the sunlight. The motors of the pumps drone incessantly, and the great 12-inch pipes send out cascades of gray water whose stale scent travels far before it is lost. The metal-helmeted divers clamber up and down, sitting for a while in the sun to make report of their progress below, receiving orders for the next stage, or just resting. It is different when the southwesterly gales blow, when rollers pour in from the Atlantic and pound down like Naasmyth hammers on the decks of the wreck. The salvage boats and tugs all have to run for shelter, work has to be abandoned, and only the still, silent hulk is left to weather the storm. So long as she is firmly imbedded in the sand or shingle, however, and there is plenty of water inside her as well as outside, it takes a good many months of storms to knock a ship to pieces. It is often necessary, in order to save a wreck from the effects of weather, to flood compartments in her that had remained watertight. The problem of dealing with the water in wrecks and in ships that have been holed but are still afloat has been advanced very far toward solution during the war by the general adoption of a new British invention, which has been described as a miracle of modern electrical engineering. Described simply, it is an electrically driven pump which can be entirely submerged and will still pump as efficiently as if it were above water. The submersible pump, as it is called, does things that no one ever believed a pump could do. I saw one in the hold of a wreck recently, covered with a black, evil-smell- THE SUBVERSIBLE ELECTRIC PUMP AT WORK IN SHALLOW WATER: A WRECKED CARGO BOAT AT HIGH TIDE SALVAGE WORK AT LOW TIDE ing ooze, looking for all the world like a buryreckage itself. But it had just finished a bout of pumping under water in that hold, was filled with floating barrels, beams, taut ironwork and a sludge that was indescribable when it had been put over the side and pumped a few tons of clean sea water that itself, that pump was ready to start work anywhere. The secret of the pump is that it is not wight—which sounds absurd. It is, however, exactly true that the water can flow in around the whole of the works of the pump; it is at work. No one has ever hitherto succeeded in making electricity work under water this way; but the uses of the discovery are seven to the layman. A ship fitted with pumps, for example, ought never to sink, it has enough of them on board, because they be set to work in the flooded compartments pump the water out as fast as it comes in. Age to the engine rooms does not affect pumps, because they do not rely for their rent on the ship's dynamos, but on their portable outfit. Salvage experts tell one rather amusing of the versatility of the pumps. A fire broke in the hold of a ship that was carrying a valuable inflammable cargo. Two submarine pumps were on board, and the captain them over the side into the sea, attached a length of hose to them and set them gold pump water at the rate of about 850 torr each into the burning hold.

Fire at sea, collision, weather and other marine risks are all dealt with by the admiralty salvage section just as much as war risks such as mining and torpeding; but it is, of course, the war risks that provide the bulk of the cases. The work of the section falls really into three parts. There are, first of all, the rescue tugs. These proceed to any ship that is in distress, whatever the cause, and endeavor to tow her into port, or at least to get her into shallow water, where she can go aground or even sink and still be salvable. In the latter case the second part of the section's work begins—the patching up, emptying and lifting. This may take anything from six weeks to six months. When she is lifted and afloat again she is towed to the nearest sheltered anchorage, and there temporary repairs are effected, she is cleaned up inside and her engine-room restored to something like order. It is the alm, as far as possible, to enable her to proceed to a shipyard under her own steam. There are cases, of course, where the torpedo or the mine has exploded just by the engine-room and blown everything to fragments. Then the hull, patched up, has to be towed to the repairing yard; but in the majority of cases the damage is in the bows or in the stern, and the vessel can limp along by herself after first aid from the salvage section. British salvage experts have little hope of salving any of the ships that are down in deep water. The physical limitations of divers alone would make it an impossibility to raise, for example, the Lusttania, and, so far, no mechanical devices that have been suggested or made hold out any hope of doing the work of the diver with any success. of Nero.

I In the issue of the Central Division Bulletin of the American Red Cross of August 25 the following article appears: Women of Cheerful Disposition for Hospital Hut Service Abroad. Several hundred American women, whose dispositions are of the cheerful variety, are wanted for work in the Red Cross hospital huts in France. The "cheerful disposition" proposition is an essential requisite, for the reason that their duty will be to spread cheer among the boys who are convalescing after wounds received on the battlefield or from attacks of illness. The bureau of personnel of the American Red Cross already has enrolled 150 of these workers, while 443 is the number estimated as necessary to be supplied before the first of January, 1919. The Red Cross commissioner to France, in a cablegram calling for these hospital hut workers, specifying some of the qualifications required, suggested that the women chosen should be those who are keen on entertainment. Lots of music, reading aloud, and all that sort of thing help to make the recovery of wounded and sick soldier boys much quicker than otherwise would be the case. Everything that keeps up spirits and turns thoughts in a channel that prevents one of the bitterest of all alliments—homesickness—is a godsend. The American Red Cross intends that there shall be no lack of entertainment and good cheer "over there," and it is particularly desired therefore that the call for hospital hut workers be complied with according to schedule. Those who volunteer for this service will be expected to remain abroad for at least a year. It is desirable that applicants be able to pay their own expenses, but in cases of exceptional qualifications the Red Cross will pay living expenses in France. Transportation to and from France will be furnished by the Red Cross. There should be no mistaken notion that this hospital hut service is easy One-Piece Pajam Many women have become addicted to the pajama habit, and pajamas are beginning to crowd nightdresses in the good graces of the up-to-date young woman. Already manufacturers are turning out a variety of them in cotton and in silk fabrics. They are made in two pieces with more or less fancy coats and jackets and in the plain original model borrowed from the masculine garment. But the tendency is away from the severe type to the more feminine and frivolous styles. In the picture a one-piece model of flesh-colored wash satin is shown. It appeared at the Style Show recently held at Chicago, and its lure caused many a good dollar to pass from buyers of apparel to the manufacturer of this particular garment. These buyers know its lure will coax more dollars out of the purses of dainty and luxury-loving women. Wash satin lingerie seems an extravagance, but in the long run it cannot be considered so. The satin proves to be very durable and the nature of this material precludes the use of a lot of fragile but useless trimming. Hemstitching, fine tucks, French knots, and durable lace edgings prove the best choice for trimming satin lingerie, and they last as long as the things they decorate. The pajamas pictured are cut with a kimono body joined to very full pantaloons held by a flat elastic band to work, for it surely is not. Emergencies may arise which will make it necessary to call upon the workers for duties not on the program; for it is now an established rule of the Red Cross that all those accepting service abroad must hold themselves in readiness to accept any duty which is assigned to them. Only those who have strong constitutions, and do not tire easily—and who still possess that never-to-be-forgotten "cheerful disposition"—are fitted for enrollment in the hospital hut service. Application should be made to the Bureau of Personnel, Central Division, 180 North Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill. Interest in Plaids. Perhaps it is through the influence of the Scotch kilties, who have appeared at various times in our American cities to remind us that the kinsmen of Bruce and Wallace are among our allies, that we have revived our interest in plaids. Perhaps it is just because bright colors are in vogue as a counteractive against the grimness of war, or perhaps it is just time that plaids returned to vogue—they do periodically, do they not? At any rate, some of the most interesting of the new separate skirts are made from Scotch plaid and some of these skirts are made in plaited designs to carry out the idea of the highlander. Summer Smock. It would be impossible to create a more artistic garment for summer wear than the smock. Young girls and slender women find it exceptionally becoming. The loose and straight but pliable lines of the smock conceal and even beautify defects, simulating a pleasant roundness of figure. The materials used for them range from calico to georgette crepe. One very practical smock is very much like a large allover apron, for it buttons on the shoulders, is very long and shows huge pockets capable of holding any necessary articles, from knitting to farming implements. as of Wash Satin the figure at the waistline. The band is run in a casing sewed to the inside of the garment. There is a wide turned-back collar edged with a substantial lace, which also finishes the short sleeves. At the ankle the pantaloues are gathered in by an elastic band, and a frill of lace falls about the foot, for no reason but to look lovely. It accomplishes its commendable purpose. Julia Bottomly Braid Much Used. Braid is going to be very much used this autumn. There is a real wartime reason for this, as braid is something that covereth a multitude of sins and makes quick work of giving a smart and neat finish to all sorts of tailored frocks, coats and suits. There is a kind of double, folded braid that may easily be applied* to the edge of sleeves, tunics or skirts, giving them a complete finish with the minimum of work. The home dressmaker will do well to make use of this new vogue for braid. Of course, braid is not always used as a labor-saving device, for in many of the new and smart suits a very elaborate system of braid trimming is carried out, often more than one sort of braid being combined in one design. --- (By Rev.

The Parable of the Talents This parable, like that of the Ten Virgins, is associated with the second coming of Christ. In both instances there is evident an unpreparedness on the part of the people. In the first case there is failure of the inward life; in the second, there is failure to use the gifts which have been entrusted to them. The first was failure to watch; the second was failure to work. By talents is meant, the gifts which God has entrusted to his servants. It may be natural endowments, special enduements of the Spirit, or it may be the gospel of Jesus Christ. With reference to these talents note: 1. Their distribution (vv. 14, 15). (1) A sovereign one. The servants belong to the Lord as well as the money. (2) An intelligent one. The distribution was made on the basis of the ability of each servant. The reason one man received one talent was because the Lord knew that he would be incapable of using two or five. (3) A purposeful one. The talents were given to be traded with. They were not given for the servant's own use, but stock-in-trade for the enrichment of the master. 2. Employment of the talents (vv. 10-18) In this employment all the servants recognized that the talents did not belong to them. The two-talented man and the five-talented man put their talents to use, which resulted in a large increase. It is always true that the right use of talents increases them. The one-talented man hid his in the earth. The unmistakable sign of the one-talented man is that he is hiding his talent. The two-talented and five-talented men are always busy. 3. The accounting for the talents (vy. 19-30). (1) Its certainty. There is a day coming when the Lord's servants shall give an account to him for the use they have made of their talents. (2) The time of. This is at the coming of the Lord. Those who are using their talents will rejoice when the Lord comes that they may present unto him their talents with increase. But the one talented man will have fear and dread against that day. (3) The judgments announced. To the faithful there was reward. This reward consisted of praise: "Well done;" promotion: "ruler over many things" and entrance "upon the joy of the Lord." For the faithless one there was awful punishment which consisted of reproach—"slothful;" being stripped and cast into outer darkness. II. Characteristics of the Subjects of the Kingdom (Matt. 5:1-12) These beatitudes are connected with each other with the strictest order of logical sequence. They set forth the characteristics of those who are subjects of the kingdom. They fall into three groups: four in the first, three in the second, and two in the third. 1. Poverty of spirit (v. 3). To be poor in spirit does not mean to be without money, but to come to the end of self, to be in a state of absolute spiritual beggary, having no power to alter his condition or make himself better. 2. A profound grief because of this spiritual bankruptcy (v. 4). The mourning here is not because of external cares, but a keen consciousness of guilt before a holy God. 3. A humble submission to God's will and obedience to his commands without asking the reason why (v. 5). This is the outgrowth of mourning for spiritual insolvency. 4. An intense longing to conform to the laws of the kingdom (v. 6). Having received the righteousness of Christ as a free gift, every desire of his soul is to be filled with righteousness. 5. Merciful (v. 7). At this stage the subjects of the kingdom take on the character of the King. Christ was merciful; his followers will be likewise. 6. Purity of heart (v. 8). This heart purity begins by having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience with the blood of Christ, and is maintained by living in fellowship with him. Those who have pure hearts can see God everywhere. 7. Peacemakers (v. 9). Those who have been reconciled to God by Christ not only live in peace, but diffuse peace. 8. Suffering for Christ's sake (v. 10). The world hated Christ and crucified him. Those who live for him shall suffer persecution (II Timothy 8:12). 9. Suffer reproach (v. 11). It means suffering under false charges. In such case we shall glory in it because it brings great reward in heaven. Quote the Bible Scholars may quote Plato in their studies, but the hearts of millions will quote the Bible at their daily toll, and draw strength from its inspiration as the meadows draw it from the brook.—Conway.

Hays, chairman Republican National Committee, in speaking of lynchings, says: "Lynching, under any circumstances or conditions, is a crime. It is a crime against judgment and justice, reason and righteousness. It is an affront to the accumulated wisdom of past ages. It is a condemnation of Christianity. To resort to it can be justified on no grounds. It merits the excoriation and detestation of every high-minded citizen, and must be forever prevented in this country."
