Wheatley HOSPITAL DEDICA A Big Parade of All The Organ in the City at Many Visiting Delegations Will in the Celebr A FINE PROGRAM HAS BEEN A SION, AND WILL BEGIN PRO At last the time has arrived for the opening of the new Wheatley-Provident Hospital. And it promises to be one of the greatest occasions that Kansas City has ever witnessed. The Committee has been as busy as bees completing arrangements, installing furniture and fixtures, beautifying the premises and completing a hundred and one things necessary for the final opening, and assures the public that everything will be ready for the occasion. With pleasant weather, the most conservative estimate of the number who will attend is 5,000, while many predict that there will be from 10,000 to 12,000 Colored people in attendance. Many physicians throughout the Southwest have written that they will be here for the occasion and special preparations are being made for their entertainment. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the famous surgeon of Chicago, Ill., will be present as the special guest of the Medical Society and will possibly hold the first clinic in the new institution. Dr. Bullock, health commissioner, and his staff of physicians visited the institution last week and were amazed by what they saw and unhesitatingly pronounced it to be one of the most beautiful and complete institutions of its kind in this country, which should make every Negro feel proud. You can only appreciate its beauty and completeness by seeing it for yourself, and remember it stands as a lasting monument to the unity and energy of the Negro citizens of Greater Kansas City. Many clubs have furnished rooms or made substantial donations of needful equipment to the institution and Miss Ida Porter, a very modest and unassuming young woman, fitted up the library and superintendent's office out of her owns funds at an expense of $185 Hats off to Miss Porter. The meeting of the Directors and the representatives of the various fraternal organizations on last Wednesday night at the office of The Sun was largely attended and everybody was brimming over with enthusiasm. Letters were read from a number of surrounding towns and cities signifying their intention of being present and taking part in the demonstration Sunday. The Graduate Nurses' Association and Garrison School, Prof. Coles, principal, were unintentionally left off the published list last week. Many subscribers have completed the payment of their pledges during the week, among them being the following: $25.00— Herman L. Kinsler. $20.00— Dr. A. R. Eagleson. $16.00— Mr. A. B. Barnett. $10.00— Mrs. Frances J. Jackson. $5.00— Prof. C. R. Westmoreland, Mrs. Marilda Gardner, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Mar tin. $2.00— Dr. T. V. Ward. In the printed list last week Miss Amelia Hutchins was credited with only giving $1.00, when it should have been five dollars. Mrs. N. C, Crews and Auxiliary No. 1 have made up $200 worth of linens and furnishings purchased through a series of entertainments and are all hard at work on other material which they hope to have furnished before the opening.

The Montgall residence district, which has already become notorious throughout the civilized world for the infamy and impunity of its lawless white element, had another chapter woven into its unenviable record last Saturday night when the home of Mrs. Priscilla Quarles, located in a strictly Negro block of residences was bombed by two cowardly white miscreants who were seen fleeing immediately after the explosion. The only white people living near enough to imagine themselves offended by the proximity of Colored people are those living in the half block just across the street south of the Quarles home. The house itself faces Montgall and is on the corner. All the other residents of the block on both sides are Colored and it cannot be urged that the Quarles family had moved into a house in order to intrude themselves upon sensitive fair skinned patriots. The contemptible acts of thees white cowards are simply characteristic of that class of people who have learned that they can do anything they desire to Colored people without the least fear of detection and punishment. If a white man had been murdered at that corner and at the same time of night the jail would have been full of Negroes before daylight, but all the prowess of the city police department has thus far failed to ferret out the perpetrators of these gross crimes against the Colored people. In fact but little effort has ever been made to break up this anarchistic practice, the police having for the most part confined their activities to merely standing around the next day evidently waiting for the dynamiter to return and give himself up. Mrs. Quarles has two sons in France fighting for "world democracy" and the news of this foul deed will not serve as much of an inspiration to them, especially when it is learned that practically no effort has been made to punish the dirty culprits. Nor will the circumstances inspire those Negro boys and men here at home who have just been called to join their brethren across the seas in putting down an unbearable autocracy. It must be plain to everyone that these outrages are simply kept up because they are permitted to go unpunished. It is idle to fall back upon the alibi that the criminals cannot be found out. That might suffice in one instance but it cannot avail in the long chain of similar insults which have been heaped upon the better class of our people during the last few years during which the Negroes have had practically no police protection in their homes nor any source upon which they could rely for the punishment of those who wilfully and almost openly wronged them. None of the houses wrecked have ever been attacked because of the disorderly character of those who lived therein. All have been the newly acquired homes of the most decent and progressive members of our race who have thus signified their desire to live under better conditions than have heretofore been enjoyed upon the back streets and side alleys. But nothing can be done about it, of course. The police department is sorry, very sorry, but it has no idea who in the half block south of Mrs. Quarles had any dynamite in his pocket or in his soul.

They were not seen by any of the police force, although neighbors at each place are said to have seen them. This particular block on Garfield is about equally divided between white and Colored residents, the former being of the poorer "cracker" class and the latter of the most ambitious home-seekers among our people.

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. Go by and look at the building and if you have not paid your pledge, send a check to our headquarters, 1803 E. 18th street, or call Bell Phone, East 2789 and we will send a collector to you.

C., Sept. 25—Announcement is made that a group of prominent colored physicians and surgeons have been appointed by the War Department to carry on a vigorous campaign of education, with a view of combatting the spread of venereal diseases in the camps and cantonments of the country, where colored soldiers are stationed in appreciable numbers. The physicians thus far selected for this vitally important work include: Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Tenn., formerly editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association and author of numerous literary and medical productions; Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, surgeon-in-chief of Mercy Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. Roscoe Brown of Richmond, Va.; and Dr. Ralph A. Stewart, of Washington, D. C. According to the plans adopted it is confidently expected that every colored soldier in the Army will be reached by this educational work. The work of these physicians is to be supplemented by literature which has been prepared to meet the special needs of colored troops. This is now in press, and a pamphlet covering these subjects simply but thoroughly will be put into the hands of every colored soldier in the Army who is able to read. It is hoped to reach those who cannot read by specially-prepared pictorial placards and stereoicon slides. The last mentioned work will be largely in the hands of a group of colored sergeants who are peculiarly adapted by education and training for this work. Tuskegee, Ala., Sept. 21, 1918. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute, announced today the receipt of $1,200 from Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, Executive Heads of the Poro College of Hair Culture, St. Louis, Mo. Mr. and Mrs: A. E. Malone have for a number of years manifested great interest in the work of Tuskegee and have on a number of occasions contributed to the work. The Poro College is one of the most successful business enterprises owned and operated by Colored people. It is said that they employ nearly 100 young men and women at the St. Louis office and factory and do an average annual business of $250.00.

It's gratifying to witness the number of thrifty Colored people that are making suitable provisions for the severe winter that's rapidly coming on. That's right. It's better to be safe than sorry.

The Sun will stenographically report the farewell sermon of Dr. Wm. H. Thomas Sunday morning and it will be published in our next week's issue. The stenographic work will be done by Miss Glenn and Miss Smith of the Sun staff, assisted by Prof. Gautierre, instructor of the business course at Western University. An official of one of the large department stores is reported to have called the recently installed Colored elevator girls into the office and said "that the store's Colored trade had increased perceptably since their employment and the firm didn't like it as they did not care for Negro trade and for them to tell their friends to stay away." Would any other people stand for that? The Sun is among that large number that sincerely regrets the departure from our midst of Rev. William H. Thomas, the brilliant pastor of Allen Chapel and his charming family. Dr. Thomas has been a distinct asset to both the race and the city and all classes who know him regret his departure. If the Bishop should see fit to keep him in our midst, we with others rejoice but if he must go, he carries with him the best wishes and the sincere affection of the Negro people of this great city.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1918. THE AMERICAN WOODMEN. Rev. W. A. Campbell, B. S. Supervising Deputy of American Woodmen, Kansas City, Mo. A MAN IS WANTED. "Wanted, men— Not systems fit and wise, Not faiths with rigid eyes, Not wealth in mountain piles, Not power with gracious smiles, Not even the potent pen; A man wanted." All the world cries, "Where is the man who will save us?" We want a man. Dn't look so far for this man. You have him at hand. It is you, it is I, it is each one of us! How to constitute one's self a man? Nothing harder, if one knows not how to will it; nothing easier, if one wills it. The world's call today is leadership among my race of people. Dologenes sought with a lantern at noontide in the ancient Athens for a perfectly honest man, and sought in vain. In the market place he once cried aloud: "Hear me, O men," and when a crowd collected around him he said scornfully: "I called for men, not pygmies." Today we are calling for leaders of our race, men and women that will put business in the minds of our boys and our girls. A man is wanted in the ebsuiness world for the Negroes. The Colored boys and girls are without occupation today when they come out o school. On these grounds we have not made any preparation for them, and we say, there is nothing to Negro Education. A man is wanted to teach the Negro boys and girls to organize themselves in a business way. We as the Colored race have no confidence in ourselves. Our women do not believe we can do anything, yet they give birth to every Colored man and woman in this world. We have men and women in this race of ours that will not patronize an institution of their race, yet we give more for their money than any other company in teh world. A Negro business man is wanted. What Is the American Woodman Doing for Her Race? 1st. We pay out -8,000.00 in salaries per month, have written $40,000.00,000.00 worth of Insurance, and we have $30,000.00 as a protection to Policy Holders. If 55,000 men and women should die we could pay every claim and have $300,000.00 left to continue in business. Look and live, men and women of my race! You can carry from $250.00 to $2,000.00, and we are giving sick benefits to the amount of $156.00 per year, and accident benefits from $50.00 to $700.00. No man or woman can become unfinanced while he or she is sick in the American Woodmen; we keep up your dues for you. Will any other Company do that? Why not take out Insurance with us. We will employ your boys and girls, if they can do the work. 2d. There is one thing that is crushing the life out of our people, and that is, we are too far apart in a business way. We find in the Holy Bible that "a house divided against itself shall not stand." Do you believe the report? How can we stand in business unless we come together? This race of people of mine has been a tool for every other race in the world, since we have been in the world, and I think it is time that we should open our eyes. God said to His Apostles, "Teach them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and to I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen." The destiny of this race of people rests in the Preacher and the Teacher. The Preacher and the Teacher of this race are a failure. It do not say that we have not tried to do some things, but I say we have failed to do them. We have not yet learned how to live in this world together. We must teach the Negro how to run first class business, and give the same service to men and women. We find the most of the Negroes are running Saloons, Gambling Dens, and Lude Houses. Something that does not add to our race, but it takes from the same. Well, how long shall we stay in the rut? Until we see the light. Where are the grocery stores in the Negro race? They are on the grounds, but some of them do not know how to treat the public, and some of them do, and on these grounds we have driven our people from us. Ignorance is at the bottom of it all. A business man wanted. Have you ever thought that the door is closed in the Colored man's face in every phase of this life? We are undesirable when it comes to business; we must take the last or the scraps. We are discriminated against on every hand by the members of our own race, and of all the others. And I must say this, sons and daughters of Ham, if you want a palace you must make it for yourselves. If you Colored women want to be happy, you must organize yourselves and teach the boys and girls of this day how to be loyal to the members of their own race. The Colored women have failed to do their bit along business lines. She is a failure. I want to get this in now mind. The earth is the Lattice. and everything therein, and we must teach our boys and girls how to make a dollar and how to keep it in his own bank. God give us men. A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men who possess opinion and a will; Men who can stand before a demagogue And scorn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty, and in private thinking. For information call East 4648; residence, East 700 phone. W. A. CAMPBELL, B. S. The American Woodmen has paid off the following claims this month: Emmitt McFadden, $24.00; Albert Kennedy, $3.00; C.

At the closing exercises of the Infantry Division of the Central Officers' Training School at Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark., one hundred and seven colored men, representing nearly every state in the Union, received commissions as second lieutenants. Capt. Garrison, the instructor in charge of the school, said that the young men had exceeded all expectations and had met conditions as they were in almost cheerful and confident manner and that they had mounted the military ladder of training round by round, showing a degree of proficiency that compared most favorably with their fellows. Their conduct in camp and city was most praiseworthy. They came from all walks of life, from college down. VICTIMS OF HUN BRUTALITY How Allied Soldiers Suffered When They First Experienced the Horrors of Kaiser's Poison Gas. Suddenly a great cry rang out: "The gas!" It was true. Over there from the enemy's lines, came great greenish balls, rolling close to the earth, rolling deliberately yet swiftly, rolling straight toward us, Emmanuel Bourcier writes in Scribner's. Gas! That horrible thing, still almost unknown, which had been used for the first time only recently on the Yser. It was coming with deadly surety amidst a torment of artillery. Orders were shouted back and forth: "The gas! Put on the 'masks!" Each man spread over his face the protecting cloth. The shelters were closed. The telephone, whose wires ran the length of the communication trenches, gave the warning: "Look out! The gas!" We did not yet know what manner of horror it was. None of us had experienced an attack of the sort. We ran to and fro like ants whose hill has been molested. Some fired their guns at random, others awaited orders. The frightful, vivid thing came on, expanded to a cloud, crept upon us, glided into the trenches. The air was quickly obscure. We were swimming in an atmosphere stained a venomous color, uncanny, indescribable. The sky appeared greenish, the earth disappeared. The men staggered about and rolled on the ground, stifed. There were some knots of soldiers who had been asleep in their beds when overtaken by the gas. They writhed in convulsions, with vitals burning, with froth on the lips, calling for their mothers or cursing the Germans. We gathered them up as best we could; we took them to the doctors, who, thus confronted by an unknown condition, found themselves powerless. They tried the application of oxygen and ether in an effort to save the lives of the victims, only to see them die, already decomposed, in their hands. The masks had not yet been perfected and were a poor protection. Some ran about like madmen, shrieking in terror, the throat choked with saliva, and fell in heaps, in contortions of agony. Some filled the mouth with handfuls of grass and struggled against asphyxiation. Saved Ship From Destruction. Capturing a runaway bomb on the deck of a ship during a terrific gale, a United States navy man herocally held on to several hundred pounds of high explosive until it was got to safety. This man of iron nerve is John Mackenzie of the naval reserve, who is serving as a chief boatswain's mate on the U. S. S. Remilis, a converted yacht now on patrol service in European waters. For this extraordinary herolism Mackenzie has been awarded a medal of honor and given a gratuity of $100. In the midst of a storm a depth charge, such as have provoked so disastrous to German submarines, broke loose and went rolling about the decks. Realizing the danger, Mackenzie shouted out, "T'll get her!" and flung himself upon the charging cylinder. Three times he was thrown from the bomb. The fourth time he got 1 and, heaving the charge upright, sa on it and held it down. Here he remained until lines were placed around the bomb. Had the charge exploded it would have blown the ship to pieces. Mackenzie is a native of Massachusetts and his mother, Mrs. Mackenzie, resides at South Hadley Falls, Mass. After serving four years in the regular navy he returned to service in the fleet naval reserve. [Picture of a woman with dark hair and a white dress]. MRS.

The woman smiled engagingly and said that she was Mrs. Blank's sister, and invited him in. The man preferred to stand at the door.

"Oh, but I can't move. I really cannot. For one thing, I haven't the money, and besides this is the dearest old house—there's such a lovely yard for the children to play in—the sun gets in there even on rainy days—and, besides, I always pay, sooner or later." "Sorry, madam, but business is business." She saw by his face that he meant it. And then she saw that it was a peculiar face; that he had a long white side tooth that lifted his lip when he spoke, and that he had gray hair to match the gray of his suit.

The Housewife and the War The Flour Is Made From Highly Milled Table Rice and From Broken Grain HELP MEET NEED OF SUBSTITUTES Rice Flour Being Used in Manufacture of Bread, Cookies, Cakes and Waffles. GOOD GOVERNMENT RECIPES Now Being Made in Large Quantities to Save Wheat—Whiteness Makes It Particularly Useful to Baker and Caterer. Rice flour, which before the wheat shortage was used only by caterers and bakers in small amounts, is now being manufactured in larger quantities to help meet the need of wheat substitutes. The whiteness of rice flour makes it particularly useful to the baker and caterer, and in the effort to save wheat housewives are learning to use this product in breads, cakes, and cookies alone or combined with other substitutes. the recipes which follow have been tested in the experimental kitchen of the department of agriculture, office of home economics, and the United States food administration, home conservation section. Rice Flour Waffles. 14 cups the flour 1 teaspoon salt 3 teaspoons baking powder Sift the dry ingredients together and add slowly to the milk, beaten egg yolks, and melted fat. Fold in stiffly beaten whites and cook in hot well- greased waffle irons. Shortcake. 1½ cups rice flour 4 tablespoons short- ening 6 cups baking powder 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup milk Mix as you would muffins, bake in layer cake tin, split, and butter while hot. Put a layer of sweetened berries or other fresh fruit between the halves and on top. **Chocolate Nut Cookies.** 1/4 cup corn syrup 4 tablespoons barley 2 tablespoons flour Mix and drop by the spoonful on greased baking sheets. Bake 15 minutes. Sponge Cake 3 eggs (yolks and 1½ teaspoons baking white beaten sep- powder lemon This sponge cake can serve as the basis for many desserts. Bake as a loaf cake or in muffin molds. Baked in a thin sheet, spread with soft jelly, and rolled it makes a delicious jelly roll. Serve with a sauce. Bake in layers and fill with custard filling for a Martha Washington ple or use for a shortcake with fresh fruit between the layers. Rice-Flour Cake. ¼ cup fat ½ cup sugar 2 eggs ½ cup riced boiled potatoes packed compactly into a cup Mix and bake in muffin molds for cup cakes or in layers or loaf. If baked in layers, a lemon filling fs good with it. Variation.—For chocolate cake, add two squares of chocolate to the above recipe. For spice cake, add one teaspoonful cinnamon, half teaspoonful nutmeg, and one teaspoonful spice. Quick Nut Bread. 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons melted toes 3 tablespoons barley flour 4 tablespoons corn 5 teaspoons baking sugar 6 powder 7 teaspoon salt 1½ cups rice flour 1 cup chopped nuts Mix in order given. Bake in loaf pan in a moderate oven for one and a quarter hours. Yeast Bread. Fifty per cent wheat flour and 50 per cent substitutes. salted butter 1½ cups flour 1 tablespoon corn ½ cup mashed potato 1 sipup toes 2 teaspoons salt 1½ cups wheat flour 1¾ cups barley flour Make a sponge of all the ingredients except the rice and barley flour. The potatoes used should be freshly mashed with no fat or milk added. The water in which they are cooked can be used for the liquid. Let this sponge stand in a warm place until very light. If dry yeast is used, set the sponge the night before it is needed. Add rice flour and barley flour when the sponge is light. Knead and let rise until double in bulk. Knead again, form into loaf and allow to rise until bulk is again doubled. Brush over the top of loaf with melted fat before putting it to rise. All breads made with substitute flours are better if baked in single-loaf pans or in rolls or buns. This recipe will make one large loaf. Bake for one and a quarter hours in a hot oven. Goats Save Babies. The vocation of a certain Virginia minister is to save souls. For an avocation he saves lives. He confines his soul-saving operations to his congregation, while his life-saving activities cover the state at large. A large number of robust, vigorous babies owe their health to the milk produced by milch goats which this minister made available to the parents of these formerly puny and sickly infants. The novel scheme which this goat keeper practices is to rent out fresh does to families with sickly children. The renter pays a given amount for each day's use of the doe, furnishes and feeds materials in such amount as the owner directs and signs a contract which makes him responsible for the full value of the goat in case of accident. The renter also pays the expressage on the goat from the point of origin to and from his home. In the main, these goats are maintained at a cost of approximately 5 cents a day; oats, corn, clover and alfalfa hay, browse and sanitary table scraps constitute their ration. This, of course, is contrary to the general supposition that the average milch goat possesses a tin-can appetite and a back-alley disposition. As a substitute cow for babies the milch doe is extremely efficient, says the United States department of agriculture. She will produce consistently for a period of from eight to ten months between two and two and one-half pounds of good quality milk a day, which is highly effective where it is used intelligently in decreasing infant mortality due to malnutrition. Food Inspectors Help. The housewife can see at a glance how much food she is to get for her money when it is in package form and labeled in accordance with the provisions of the federal food and drugs act, say the officials of the bureau of chemistry of the United States department of agriculture, charged with the enforcement of that law. The federal food and drugs act provides that all food in package form, shipped into interstate or foreign commerce, shall bear on the labels a plain and conspicuous statement of the quantity of the contents of the package, in terms of weight, measure or numerical count. Federal food inspectors are always on the watch for interstate shipment of food in package form, to see that the labels tell the truth with respect to the quantity of food in the packages. Several samples are taken from each shipment in order that their average weight may be determined. If the packages are found to be short in weight or measure, the party responsible for the shipment may be prosecuted under the criminal section of the law. The act does not apply to foods which are sold and consumed within the state where produced or manufactured, but to those that are shipped from one state to another, or to or from a foreign country, or manufactured or sold within the District of Columbia or a territory. Many states have net weight or measure laws, however, which protect the housewife from short weight or measure in package foods produced and sold within the state. Federal and state food officials co-operate in the work of enforcing these laws in order that abuses which cannot be reached under one law may be corrected under the other. Children should never be allowed rich and heavy preserves. TALES FROM BIG CITIES His Classification Pointed Though Not Polite NEW YORK.—There is a little cafe down on Houston street that is patronized by the canalite, the curious and the small sprinkling of the Broadway opulents. The wine is red, yellow, purple and white, and flows from various and the parasite becomes herole. There are squalls and sunshine, tears and ribald laughter. And then at 12 when the lights go out the false joy is stripped of its mask and crumbles into black despair. An electric apparatus throws various colored rays on the dancers. The other night a spark from the machine fell into folds of chiffon worn by one of the dancers. There was a flash of flame and a scream. Pandemonium reigned and then on the fringe of the crowd someone charged into the thick of it. He grabbed the frightened girl away from hysterical men and women and skillfully extinguished the fire. The crowd fell back. The rescuer was a clean-limbed young American sailor who had dropped into the place with a group of rubberneck tourists. The fiddlers struck up the "Star-Spangled Banner" and the young man, abashed, rushed from the place, not even stopping to get his hat. Outside he said to a policeman: "I don't want to be found here among a bunch of nuts." Boy Soldier of Fortune Laughs at War's Mishaps BOSTON.—A real soldier of fortune is Fred W. Thomas, a youth not yet in his twenties, now in a Red Cross hospital, where he was taken following the torpedoing of a ship on which he sailed recently. This adventurous home and enlisted in the British transport service. But this proved too tame for him, so he enlisted in a bombing squad of the Sherwood Foresters, from which he was honorably discharged upon Secretary Lansing's plea. He succeeded in enlisting again and was assigned to a British mine sweeper. It was blown up, the youngster receiving a skull fracture. He returned to America, incapacitated for further service, but persuaded a Passaic surgeon to operate and relieve the injury. The operation proved so successful that Thomas almost immediately enlisted on the Hattie Gage, a coastwise freighter, which was sunk by a German submarine the day after she put to sea. Then he returned home, bid his mother good-by and re-enlisted in the British army in New York.

Sailor to Get Wooden Leg That Has Traveled Far SAN FRANCISCO.—How a wooden leg lost by its owner traveled almost around the world and was finally restored was told in the large office by Patrick H. Quinn, United States shipping commissioner. According to Mr. signed up for a voyage to foreign waters. Things went well with Egan until he struck up an acquaintance with a man named Stupy. Stupy singled out Egan from among the crew and they were shore companions when the vessel reached San Pedro. Stupy and Egan imbibed freely there. When Egan got his bearing he discovered that his leg was gone and so was Stupy. That was seven months ago. The Westboro went to France, England, South America, Panama and other ports without Egan. To each port Egan sent a letter, beseeching the captain of the vessel to send back his leg. T. S. Trice, who is employed in the United States shipping office, also took a hand in the game. When he entered the office the other day he espied a long bundle, directed to J. H. Stupy, SS. Westboro. The name was familiar to Trice. He looked up his files and found that Stupy was the man who had been with Egan when the two had started out to drink San Pedro dry many months ago. The commissioner sent the limb to where Egan is waiting patiently. spigots within the diner's reach. One may become corned between the soup and the entree and the check is the same.

UMPIRE IN PLACE OF BULL Mexican Editor Is of Opinion That Baseball Is More Spectacular Than Scientific. Jose Campos is the editor of the Excelsior, a daily paper of Mexico City. When in New York recently the Mexican spent an afternoon at a baseball game. He thus records his impressions in New York Herald. A large game of baseball was celebrated this afternoon in the Polo arena in the city of the Bronx, a large ride by train from New York city. As is the custom of the United States of North America, many of the business houses closed for the afternoon, so employees might attend the spectacle. At least 3,000,000 civilians, soldiers and many women and children were present. The pitcher for the New York city troupe was very valiant and charming. The baseball clothing is not as pretty as that worn by the toreador, but the players carry themselves well. The game is played with the hands, but is not like pelota in any respect. The object is to keep the ball off the ground, and the troupe which does so the longest wins the game. In place of a bull baseball has an umpire, a man who does not play the game, but who is authority of the game. Unlike the judge of the bull fight, he stands on the field. He is not goaded with pikes, banderillas and finally the sword, as is the bull, but is the recipient of abuse from both players and the multitude seated in the huge arena. Instead of "another bull," the crowds when displeased yell "Get the hook!" The umpire is also called a "robber" and a "big fathead." The people at a baseball game continually are eating or chewing gum or smoking. But these occupations of the mouth do not prevent a perpetual yelling. It is difficult for one knowing little English to understand the things cried at the players or the umpire. But I assume from the manner of expression that words common to the lower classes are used. On a large board at the back of the field is enumerated the number of times that each troupe drops the ball. The troupe dropping the ball the fewest times wins the game. Unlike the bull fight, it is difficult to predict which will win. In that respect the American game of baseball is typical of all things American—it is more spectacular than scientific. I think if I understood English perfectly and had played baseball all my life and had not been born a Mexican I should like to see a baseball game every year on my birthday anniversary. The Unknown File. A matronly woman went into a Kansas City employment agency and announced her intention of taking up some well-paying war work. Her children had all entered some new field—even her "baby" of seventeen was doing well in a downtown office. The woman answered all the preliminary questions satisfactorily. Then the director asked, "Can you operate a typewriter?" The answer was "No," and the director proceeded to the next question, "Have you had any experience in filing?" There was a moment of silence; then the woman burst out. "Land, no, child. I don't know a thing in the world about machinery." And imagine the amazement of another Kansas City director who, on inquiring into this same filing ability, was met first with a hurt silence from the candidate, and then with a dignified, "I have had no experience whatever in manicuring." Protects Soldiers' Faces. An ingenious improvement has recently been made to the already familiar shrapnel helmet in use "over there." It is designed to protect the eyes and the upper part of the face from splinters of wood, stone, sand and metal thrown up by exploding shells. The new device is merely an adaptation of the chain doors which have been introduced into metal, chemical and glass works in recent years to protect the workers from the heat of the furnaces and the splashes of molten material, according to Popular Science Monthly. It consists of a fringe of separate short lengths of fairly heavy chain which effectively arrests the flying particles. On account of its looseness it does not seriously interfere with the vision. How It Really Happened. The cow was about to jump over the moon. "You might announce through the newspapers that beef will soon reach the highest mark in history," she said as she shifted her cud. "Nix on that stuff, Bossle," remarked the cat, as he tuned up the E string on his fiddle and tightened his bow. "Just wait till the war comes along and some of these profiteers get on the job.

"Are you going to hear the famous younester at the chantauqua tonight?" asked Burt Blurt of Petunia. "He must be a dandy.

"I don't 'spose it's worth white for me to go," replied old Riley Rezzi-dew. "You see, I used to read Hostetter's almanac a lot when I was a young felter." -Kansas City Star. CARRYING WAR to the PEOPLE MAKING UP DAILY MAP IN WEATHER BUREAU EXHIBIT MODEL POULTRY HOUSE SHOWN BY BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY Various Government Departments Unite in Preparing Elaborate Ex- hibits for State Fairs and Expositions. (Prepared by the United States De- partment of Agriculture.) HE United States government has HE United States government has combined its traveling displays of public work and is to exhibit them so as better to inform the people concerning the work of their government toward winning the war. The combined display is a war show from beginning to end, for every activity of the government now has a bearing, more or less direct, on T the one national aim of preserving popular rule for the world. Thus, not only will there be vital interest in the exhibits of the war and navy departments, but in the displays of the work of the department of agriculture in stimulating increased production of food; the activities of the food administration in encouraging the conservation and equitable distribution of this fundamental war munition; the addition of new food sources through the bureau of fisheries of the department of commerce; the safeguarding of human life and indirectly increasing of coal production through the work of the mine rescue cars of the bureau of mines, department of interior; and the spreading of official news through the committee on public information. The joint committee on government exhibits, which acts for the various departments in administrating the displays and is headed as chairman by F. Lamson-Scribner of the department of agriculture, has contracted for the exhibits to be shown simultaneously on five circuits of approximately 35 state fairs and expositions from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Organization of five circuits does not mean that any one circuit is being favored or discriminated against in the quantity or quality of displays. The government exhibit material is of such magnitude that no fair has been able to offer more space than can be filled. The army and navy exhibits have been made up in five duplicate sets. In fact, practically the only variations of note in the displays are in those of the department of agriculture, which has planned, in addition to its exhibits of general interest, displays of particular importance for specific regions. For instance, where wheat-growing is all-absorbing, wheat will be featured, and where cattle fever tick is sucking blood and destroying meat, special emphasis will be placed on the fight to rid American territory of this parasite. The government exhibits have much to detain even the idly curious, but informing the people of government work and of important aid which the public can render the government in the national crisis is the big aim. All exhibits are educational and those of purely technical interest are rarely used. Displays are the product of years of experience in exposition methods and every effort is made to visualize subjects in such manner that observers will be informed as well as entertained. To list and describe adequately every item in the exhibits would require many words. Features selected here and there, however, may serve to give an idea of the complete show. The war department display can hardly fall to place Americans more closely in touch with their boys who are making more uneasy the heads that wear the crowns. There are Browning machine guns for infantry use and Lewis machine guns of the aircraft type; mountain cannon that can be pulled to Alpine heights; figures clothed in regulation uniforms, including an aviator's flying togs; rifles of the latest model used "over there," and wooden blocks showing penetration of the old and new bullets; complete equipment of the beloved "doughboy," and a trench periscope through which he watches for friskiness on the part of the "Fritzies;" gas masks that he dons when the Hun spreads his favorite poison; the trench helmet that protects him and the hand grenades he hurls; the shovel with which he digs a trench and the pump that takes out the water.

Then there are models of the various kinds of tents used by the army, national and regimental colors in silk, storm and post flags, a portable field wireless outfit, hellograph instruments, lanterns for night signaling, day and night rockets and signal flags. And if any American hasn't learned yet to distinguish a sergeant major from a brigadier general, he can do so from boards which carry the insignia of officers and the chevroons of enlisted men, with the wound and service chevroons authorized for officers and men serving in France. The navy display shows more of the tools that are making this world an unsafe place for international burglars, and also some rifles captured from German soldiers. The navy shows a depth charge of the kind whose bubbles often mean the end for some submarine pirate; a naval mine and anchor, and a big torpedo with its truck. Projects of various sizes are accompanied by bombs that airphones drop. The clothing display includes MODEL OF DAIRY BARN EXHIBITED BY AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT some worn in winter weather by the boys aboard plays are decorative panel our submarines sentative American Illustra Trumpets, drums, rifles, swords, flags and pennants are some of the other things shown. But it is expected that nowhere will the crowds be thicker than around the models of modern battleships, dreadnaughts, cruisers, destroyers and other vessels that will be shown at all the fairs and expositions. The scope of work of the department of agriculture is so wide and the quantity of its exhibit material is so great that its displays vary in different sections of the country, but in every case they have been selected to clinch some reason why American agricultural production must be increased, and again increased, and to show some of the numerous ways by which it can be done. These exhibits are not for the farmer alone. They are for him first, but food production has become the business and concern of everybody in America, and nearly everybody has come to know it. More than that, the agricultural exhibits are attractive, interesting and informing enough to hold the attention of even the novice who cannot tell a solo from a silo.

More than that, the agricultural exhibits are attractive, interesting and informing enough to hold the attention of even the novice who cannot tell a solo from a silo. The weather bureau shows how it is able to forecast storms, frosts and floods to protect agriculture, commerce and navigation, and displays its daily weather map showing conditions in the immediate locality of the exhibition. The bureau of animal industry shows how to improve and increase the country's supplies of meat, milk and poultry, how it guards the health of the public and our soldiers and sailors through its meat inspection system, and how to drive out the destructive animal diseases that annually take a toll of meat worth many millions of dollars. That other great co-ordinated branch of the department of agriculture, the bureau of plant industry, treats its field in the same manner, with special attention to methods of bettering and stimulating plant production and eradicating plant diseases. Brond features of forest service work are presented in popular and striking form. Models urge the burning of local fuel wood to release coal for cities and war purposes and relieve transportation, contrast proper methods of logging with the wasteful ways, and show the proper handling of tree windbreaks for increasing crop and animal production. Other forest service displays show how forest fires are prevented or discovered and fought; how valuable timber can be saved for war uses; and the need of retaining forests to retard soil erosion on slopes. Distinctive exhibits of the bureau of chemistry illustrate the enforcement of the food and drugs act, production and preservation of food products, use of tanning materials, production of colors and other chemical industries. Differences between true and imitation commercial articles are shown, and light is thrown on adulterated or misbranded medicinal preparations, including headache "remedies," "beauty" preparations, asthma, consumption and other alleged "cures." Samples of the soils that occur in the United States, including some local to the neighborhood of the particular exhibition, together with information relating to their best use in farming, are among the bureau of soils displays. The states relations service shows its work, in co-operation with the state agricultural colleges, in spreading farming information through county agents, home demonstration agents and boys' and girls' clubs, and illustrates food conservation by canning and drying. The bureau of entomology's exhibits of destructive insects and ways of combating them are particularly interesting at this time of need for more food production and conservation. Likewise, the bureau of biological survey's displays of stuffed animals and birds, representing the control or destruction of the predatory species and the conservation of the desirable kinds, take added significance. Demands on the railways, with growing use of motor routes, stress the importance of the good-roads construction and maintenance exhibits of the office of public roads and rural engineering, and war conditions also lend interest to the bureau of markets' display of safe methods of shipping grain, distribution of farm products, grain standards and cotton standards, and various types of shipping containers.

Agriculture has been called the most peaceful industry in the world, but it is believed that the department's displays will remove any question as to efficient farming being absolutely essential in an effective war machine. But America must not feed itself alone. It must sustain millions of the citizens and fighting men of our vallant allies. The food administration, in its exhibits, drives that fact deep. Feature dis THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 28, 1918. plays are decorative panels contributed by representative American illustrators to illustrate twelve points in a recent speech by Herbert Hoover, food administrator. The purpose, scope and accomplishments of the food administration, the situation with which it is dealing, and work being done by the home conservation department are shown. The bureau of fisheries of the department of commerce has displays to urge the utilization of fishery products now used little or not at all, but that are available to help supply the demand for meat. Samples and posters of whale, shark, grayfish, sablefish, eulachons, burbots, drums, tilefish, skates and rays represent some of the dining table strangers shown. The fisheries exhibit also display tanned skins of aquatic animals—and most people know that leather is valuable now—with a demonstration of pearl button manufacture, one of the industries that Germany dominated before the war. Programs of moving pictures treating many wartime themes are shown in connection with the other exhibits. They screen American soldiers at the fighting front and in camp; farmers striving for bigger crops in the country; methods of conserving as well as increasing the food supply; views of beautiful landscapes in the national parks; reclamation of arid lands, highway construction and other activities, many of them in direct relation to winning the war. At every fair where the combined exhibits are displayed, the Four-Minute Men—the volunteer speakers who are fighting disloyal propaganda and urging unstinted public support for every war movement—gather in state conclaves. They speak the regulation four minutes between the official motion pictures, and assist the soldiers and sailors and department representatives in explaining displays. The Four-Minute Men have headquarters at booths maintained by the committee on public information. At a number of the fairs where trackage facilities can be provided in or near the grounds, one of the mine rescue cars of the bureau of mines, department of the interior, will be open to the public. Full crews of five men will be on duty to explain the intricate rescue apparatus. Japan and the Cherry Blossom No flower has entered Japanese history, literature, art and religious thought longer or more richly than our sakura or Japanese cherry. It was only natural, therefore, that foreign visitors to this country began to call it the land of cherry blossoms and that we have chosen sakura as our national flower by common consent. Our army has adopted the blossom as its insignia as an expression of the national ideal of always being ready to die for a cause, after the manner of sakura, which falls in the height of natural glory and human admiration without the slightest desire to linger in the sordid world.—From Herald of Asla. JUGGLERS OF HEARTS. Probably the world's marrying record for men was created by that notorious bigamist, George Witzoff, whose marriages have been estimated at about 800. In the space of a single week he went through marriage ceremonies with ten women. An amazing matrimonial record, too, was that of a certain John Watson. This "juggler of hearts" became acquainted with the eight daughters of a brewer. Within a year he had gone through a form of marriage with each of the eight sisters, and had succeeded in decamping with their savings. THOSE WAR TERMS One of the rear-end-of-the-street-car regulars boarded the car at his accustomed corner after an absence of about two weeks. He was looking "peaked" and one of his friends asked: "Where have you been for a couple of weeks, Brown?" "Oh, I had a slight touch of pneumonia," Brown answered. "Touch!" said the first speaker; "looks to me like you might have had a direct hit!" CIPHER. Cholly—They say, you know, that what a man eats he becomes. Miss Keen—Dear me!

Western Newspaper LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 29 REVIEW. SUBJECT-What It Means to Be a Christian. SELECTION FOR READING-I John 3:1-24. GOLDEN TEXT—My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed, and truth.—I John 3:18. Perhaps the best way to review the lessons of this quarter will be to take the several lessons and note their bearing on the subject chosen for review; namely: What it means to be a Christian. In order to get the best results, assignment should be made of the several lessons to different parties to come prepared to give the teaching of the particular lesson on the subject. The following is suggested as a possible way of presenting the matter. Lesson 1. It means that each individual must exercise faith in Jesus Christ as a personal Savior. One may have his heart opened by the Lord while listening to the Word of God at a stated meeting, like Lydia, or be convinced through the manifestation of the mighty power of God, as the Philippian jailer. In all cases it is the one Savior and the one faith. Lesson 2. It means that those who have really exercised faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will attentively read God's Word. Even a great statesman like the Ethiopian Eunuch will be blessed in its reading, for the Word of God converts the soul, makes wise the simple, puts gladness into the heart, enlightens the eyes, satisfies the longing soul, warns against dangers, and brings reward to those who obey its precepts. Lesson III. It means a life of personal prayer and communion with God. The one who has become a child of God has the glorious privilege of coming to him with his needs with the assurance that God will supply them. God is more willing to give to his children than any earthly father is to his children. Lesson IV. It means a life of obedience to the Word and will of God. Prompt and definite obedience will be rendered, even to the separation from business, and the ties of nature, when such stand in the way. Peter, Andrew, James and John obeyed, and it meant to them great spiritual blessings. From fishing for fish, they were promoted to fishing for men. Obedience to God pays. The disciple of Christ will treasure up his words. Lesson V. It means growth in grace, Jesus himself grew in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man. Merely accepting Christ is not enough; there must be growth. Lesson VI. It means a life of helpfulness to others. One who has been made a partaker of the Divine nature will, like his master, give himself in helpful service to others. He will be a neighbor to the needy and unfortunate, even as the Good Samaritan. Being good in himself, he will be doing good to others. He will use every opportunity to do good. Lesson VII. It means attendance at the place of worship, receiving the teaching of the Word of God, partaking of the communion, and rendering service in some capacity in the church. Lesson VIII. It means confessing Christ before men, and waiting with expectant hope for the coming of Jesus Christ from Heaven. The grand incentive for faithfulness in witnessing for Christ is the assurance that he will come again. Lesson IX. It means that we will give of our possessions to the poor and needy, love our enemies, and refrain from censorious judgment. God estimates our gifts, not by their size but by what we have left. Lesson X. It means that one will strive to conquer his evil propensities, not allow covetousness to master him as did Ahab, and separate himself from those who walk in darkness. He will exercise great caution lest he become overcome by the devil. Lesson XI. It means being holy and true, in order that we may preserve from corruption the great mass of men and enlighten those in darkness, preaching the Gospel to every creature, conscious that the presence and power of Christ will abide. Lesson XII. It means that every talent entrusted to us will be put to use, so that when the Lord comes we can make an account to him which will secure his commendation and reward. The Greatest Teachings There are no songs comparable to the songs of Zlon; no orations equal to those of the prophets; and no politics like those which the Scriptures teach.—Milton. Favors Bible for Every Soldier In a letter to the American Bible society Major General Wood says: 'Godspeed and all success in the work you are undertaking. I earnestly hope that you will be successful in placing a Bible in the hands of every soldier.' Promises In the Bible. If there is one fact, or doctrine, or command, or promise in the Bible which has produced no practical effect on your temper, or heart, or conduct, be assured that you do not truly believe it—Payson. WHAT CAN WE DO? "Conservation Tailleur" and Wool Suit INTERNATIONAL WEEKLY The bureau of aircraft production of the war department has requested the Red Cross to give publicity to the vital need of walnut for use in making airplane propeller blades and gun stocks. All chapters in central division are requested to see that this need is made known as widely as possible by posting this notice on their bulletin boards and including this item in the Red Cross news printed in local newspapers. Walnut has been found to be the best wood for propeller blades and gun stocks. Trees are found throughout the United States, usually in small groups, and the government wants information as to their location, to give the owners an opportunity to demonstrate their patriotism in a practical way. A part only of the lumber from each tree can be used and the government cannot buy the trees direct from the owners. The trees should be sold to a sawmill having a government contract for lumber for propeller blades and gun stocks. If owners of trees do not know of such mills, they may write to the Ordnance Department, Procurement Division, Small Arms Section, Washington, D. C., giving number and location of the trees, and they will be notified how to dispose of them. Emphasize the fact that information in regard to a small number of trees is most valuable. The government "Conservation Taille In the light of experience the tailored suit of wool cloth has proven that there is nothing to equal it for giving general satisfaction. Some other fabrics make suits as durable and as good looking but they do not seem to fit in everywhere and against any sort of background as wool does. However, there may come a time when there will be no wool to spare, after the needs of the army are supplied, and we will be obliged to wear something else. Manufacturers are already experimenting with other fibers and have turned out a few new fabrics that look practical. The most noteworthy of these materials is tricotine or tricolet, woven of a heavy, silky fiber that is strong and supply. It has the brilliance of silk and the strength of wool and is especially handsome in black and in dark tones of brown and blue. It is used for gowns and suits. For the first, handsome fringes are wonderfully effective as a trimming, while braiding seems the best finish for suits. The suit at the right in the picture is a "conservation tailleur" of tricotine with collar and tunic waistcoat of crepe. It earns its patriotic title because it is not wool and compels enthusiastic praise because it is handsome and cleverly designed. The collar and waistcoat are braided and might be embroidered, for both these decorations find themselves against just the right background in tricotine. The coat fastens across the waistcoat at the iront with two diagonal straps that button at the left side. There are still plenty of wool suits to be had—just how long the supply will last no one can tell. One of the best of those shown for fall appears at the left of the picture. It is taupe broadcloth with convertible collar and wants every tree available. Keep this item handy to give information to anyone in your community who may inquire of the Red Cross about disposing of walnut. Scarfs. Already there are indications that scarfs will be an accredited part of next winter's suits—that is, wide scarfs that are wrapped around the neck as a part of the suit. We had some of these scarfs last winter, sometimes coming from only one part of the coat collar and wrapping well around the throat. Sometimes, too, they were the ends of a skating cap that were wrapped, scarflike, around the throat. In the new suits they are sometimes separate, but of the same material, and sold as a part of the frock. Sometimes they are fastened to the coat, under the collar. Frocks for Little Girls. For little girls, some of the prettiest new frocks are figured organdie and volle. The organdie ones are newer than those of volle. They are prettiest when made with fichus and little turned-back cuffs. Some of them have shirred pockets, edged with tiny rufflings or plaiting of white. Use Heavy Italian Lace. Many Jersey dresses are trimmed with heavy Italian lace. eur" and Wool Suit deep cuffs of Hudson seal. The cont is almost three-quarter length and double breasted, with a wide belt that fastens at the left side. There are pockets at each side camouflaged successfully by a bit of drapery and guarded by a company of small buttons set in a precise row before them. This is something new in the management of pockets. Julia Bottomly Hatters' plush, always a becoming material, is employed on some of the smartest models. Panne and Lyons velvet are used, silk duvetyn as soft as baby fur is made into hats and into trimming for hats. And to further emphasize the general softness and flexibility of the millinery of the coming season, beaver is used very much in combination with other materials. It is used on hatters' plush and on velvet to form bands and brim tops and brim facings and even in the form of flowers. It is of such a new softness that it is hardly recognizable. One of the new long side models in dark blue panne has a round sort of folded-in crown with a two-inch band of beaver and a brim edge of beaver.

Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Washington, D. C., September 25, 1918—In the "drive" for the third Liberty Loan the colored citizens of Jacksonville, Fla., were asked to raise $50,000. Whe nthe returns were all in it was found that the energetic colored citizens had subscribed for bonds to the value of $250,000—a quarter of a million dollars' worth and five times the amount requested of them. The executive committee in charge of the work among the colored people was headed by Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, and senior member of the firm of Anderson and Company, bankers. In recognition of this splendid showing the general committee awarded an "honor flag" to the colored citizens of Florida's metropolis, and at a monster mass meeting the flag was formally accepted, with Dr. N. W. Collier, president of Florida Normal and Industrial Institute, St. Augustine, Fla., as spokesman of the occasion. The United States Government has placed a credit of $5,000,000 for the benefit of the Republic of Liberia, to aid it through the war period. Liberia finances are threatened by reason of the breakdown of its commerce through her declaration of war against Germany. The rich products of Liberia will prove helpful to the allied governments arrayed against Germany. The committee which laid the condition of Liberia before the President of the United States and was largely instrumental in securing this $5,000,000 loan, was made up of Dr. Rober Russia Moton, Emmett J. Scott, Dr. Ernest Lyon, Dr. James H. Dillard, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jo—and William H. Lewis. Ralph W. Tyler, of Columbus, Ohio, former Auditor for the Navy Department, and a newspaper man of experience, has been selected as a regular war correspondent, to serve on the staff of General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American forces, to report the doings of the colored soldiers on the western front in France. Mr. Tyler is the first colored man to be commissioned as a war correspondent by any government in the world. On the 14th of September, the colored people formally took notice that it was the 59th birthday anniversary of General John J. Pershing. The following telegram, signed by Allen G. Perkins, Thomas H. Love and Cornellus J. Williams, was sent through the office of Emmett J. Scott's special assistant, to General Pershing in France. "As Galveston Negroes, assembled to rehearse for Liberty Chorus No. 1, under War Camp Community service, we are reminded that today is the 58th anniversary of the birth of the chief figure in America's Expeditionary Forces, General John J. Pershing. As he commands and leads the soldiers of our country, among whom are members of our race, our prayers ascend for him and his command. We send through you our felicitations to him, and give assurance of our allegiance in every way in the cause for which he is battling." The hostess house for the colored troops at Camp Gordon, which has been in process of erection for several weeks, is now ready for occupancy. The Rtlanta Constitution says: "The house is a building complete in its expression of beauty and comfort, the same attention being given to the details of harmonious and artistic equipment that characterizes all the hostess houses that have been and are still being erected at nearly every cantonment in the country, and is designed WANTED----500 LADIES To learn Hair Dressing and Handle SUPERIOR HAIR PREPARATIONS For the next 60 days we will teach Culture by mail, and issue Diplomas completed for only $10.00, or installment to formation send stamps for reply.

The structure was provided through the efforts of the National War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. the headquarters of which is in New York City. This fills a long felt want, as there was great need for the colored soldiers at Camp Gordon to have a suitable place where they might meet their relatives and friends who had come from a distance to visit them. Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, the newly appointed field worker to mobilize the "woman-power" of the colored people of the nation, has just concluded a successful tour of the southern states, and has formed many new organizations through which the women of the race may aid in winning the war, and stimulated to a marked degree all of the units she found in existence in the cities and towns. Her itinerary covered more than 5,000 miles. She was greeted most cordially by the State Councils of Defense and these organizations throughout the South evince a disposition to cooperate in every possible way with the patriotic colored women of that section. Sergeant Robert Terry, of the First Separate Company of Baltimore, and Sergeant Charles Hughes, of the First Separate aBtallion, of Washington, D.C., have been presented the Croix le Guerre for bravery, according to word received from France. These companies, now the 372d regiment, are brigaded wit hthe F rench and are considered to be among the very best regiments in France. Of the graduates from the Field Artillery Train School for officers at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky., 33 were colored. It is reported that six of the honor students were colored.
