On last Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Dr. William H. Thomas, who for five years has been the aggressive and beloved pastor of Allen Chapel, preached his farewell sermon to one of the most representative audiences that has assembled within the historic walls of Allen. More than two thousand people crowded the auditorium, balcony and annex to hear this powerful and impressive sermon and upon the rostrum were Drs. C. V. Roman, the famous medical authority of Nashville, Tenn., and Dr. Clement Richardson, the new president of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., each of whom delivered brief but inspiring addresses before the close of the service. Excellent music was rendered by the combined choir and soldiers' chorus of sixty voices from Western University. The financial offerings were all that could be expected and the Sun distributed free one thousand copies of the likeness of Dr. Thomas. His sermon, which every Negro in America should read, was stenographically reported by the Rev. William H. Thomas, D. D. Misses Willa M. Glenn and Irene Smith of the Sun staff and Prof. L. R. Lautier, business instructor of Western University and for five years the private secretary of Hon. B. J. Davis of Atlanta, Ga. It was as follows: I am inviting your attention to the words found in the gospel according to St. John, the 11th chapter and the 9th verse—a clause taken from that verse: "Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day?" And my subject is Christ's Message Regarding Life." "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" I am closing my ministry at Allen Chapel. The law says a minister may be appointed five successive years, and no more. Hence, I repeat. I am closing my ministry here as pastor. "Are there not twelve hours in the day?" We can paraphrase those words to suit this occasion by saying, Are there not five years in the term of a Methodist minister's ministry? When Christ uttered the words of our text he was nearing the crisis of His life. His ministry was drawing to a close. His life had been one of storm and stress. Some years ago there was current a superstition, and all superstitions die hard. Anyone desiring an easy life was advised by friends to enter the ministry. But we are slowly learning that the life of a true minister, like that of his Master, is one of storm and stress. Christ's ministry had been a strenuous one. He had not moved along the lines of least resistance trying to be popular at the expense of truth. He had made friends; yes, he had made many friends. He had also made enemies. Any man without an enemy is a man without character. Christ had publicly denounced the Scribes and the Pharisees. "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." And remember that the men represented in this denunciation were the leaders of the Church in that day and time. Christ was speaking to the Church; but the Master knew that going to church was not going to heaven; that saying prayers was not praying. His words had enraged the Scribes and the Pharisees, and He was the object of their malice and their hate. "He had gone to the country beyond the Jordan and there quietly pursued His ministry of word and work; but while there, sickness came to the little home at Bethany where Christ had frequently gone for rest, and they sent for Jesus. The message was, "He whom thou lovest is sick." They sent for Jesus. You have frequently sent for me when sickness and death have invaded your homes; for a large part of any man's ministry is spent in comforting those that mourn. "Comfort ye, comfort ye, thy people, saith the Lord." And I think back today of the many homes in Kansas City where I have tried in their hour of sickness and death to carry a word of cheer in His name. For He hath anointed me, set me apart to preach good things unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, proclaim liberty to the captive, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. And He has blessed my ministry here, not so much in the raising of money, but in the raising of men from a dead leavel to a living perpendicular. I remember that eventful morning when Charley Lewis, followed by fourteen young men, some of whom are serving as ushers here this morning, not only joined the visible church but they came to the altar and enrolled as members of the invisible church, the kingdom of God on earth. When sickness invaded that little home at Bethany they sent for Jesus. They sent with the confidence and the faith that He would come; and no God sent minister ever fails to respond to the need of his people. And so Jesus said unto His disciples, "Let us go into Judea again." When His disciples heard that, they could hardly credit their ears. Some thought that He was mad, and replied, Master, have we not come here simply to avoid the Jews. Those of you who have laid a great stress on your personal safety can understand the answer. It seemed to them like tempting Providence. Well, so it was. But, then, no man in this world ever believed in Providence quite as much as Jesus. To Him, Providence was God, and 'God was everywhere. He was not afar off. This is why He went. And so turning to His disciples, He said, I appreciate what you have said," but in God. "Are there not twelve hours in every man's day? The meaning becomes clear when you remember that the disciples were playing on the lower strings; they were appealing to fear in Jesus and to the worldly motive of personal safety. hrist was face to face with the call of the human soul for help, for mercy. His disciples had said in effect, don't go; it is not safe. They were dishonoring God by asking Jesus to put self before salvation and their words contained the deeper suggestion that the omnipotence of God, Almighty, could not carry them safely through the danger which lay ahead of them. Hence, Christ turned to them and said, does not a man's life, after all, lay in the lap of God? We have received from Him our allotment of time, and until that time comes, we are immortal. I must face my duty; God's hour will come in His own good time, neither hastening nor delaying I must go where my work calls me, be it to danger or to death. The son of man, nor the sons of men, must never hide, nor hedge. Our times are in His hands. Are there not twelve hours in every man's day? Life's little day! How quickly passed. Why, it seems only like yesterday when I brought my wife and little children here from Boston. But the brevity of life suggests its use. There are twelve hours in the day, no more; and so much to do, and whether those hours shall be great and magnificent or little trifling hours depends upon what you put into them. You read of a whole regiment of soldiers decorated for going "over the top." But the bravest thing I have read of was not in the fighting ranks. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1918. It was that of a hospital orderly. A young officer had been brought into that hospital severely wounded, shot in three places. The chief surgeon had been summoned to make an examination. After having made a careful examination, he shook his head gravely and said there is no chance, or at best only one chance. The only chance for this young soldier is a transfusion of blood. The hospital orderly who had been standing in the rear overheard the words. Coming to the surgeon's side, he said respectfully, sir, I understand you to say all you need is blood. The surgeon said yes. Well, I want to give mine, said the orderly. What, said the surgeon; is this young [Name] RT. REV. HENRY BLANTON PARKS.

No, said the orderly; I have never seen him before. You understand, said the surgeon, what you are doing. The amount of blood needed here may involve a great sickness, even death itself. The orderly simply straightened himself up and said, I am ready, sir. All right said the surgeon, take off your coat; and out of that young orderly's arm there was taken enough blood to save that young soldier's life. I repeat, that is one of the bravest things I have read of. And this is what Jesus did—His life for ours when He died upon the cross; His life for me and for you when He comes into our hearts. Are there not twelve hours in the day, no more? But do not forget the other side. Are there not twelve hours in the day, no less? It means that each life, long or short, must be a complete thing in itself, finished, rounded out, perfected in God's sight. Twelve hours in every man's day, and those hours may be twenty years or they may be eighty years. Did you ever read the epitaph of an octogenarian, the man over eighty years of age, who asked for these words to be inscribed upon his tombstone when he died: "If you ask me how many years I have spent, I am old, very old. If you ask me how many years I have lived, that is not so easily told; passed eighty, eighty years of age, and only four years old." In other words, he was eighty years of age and only four years old. That man began to live with the last four years his life. Yes, there are some men living who ought to be dead, and I say it with no smile in my heart. There are those who have forsaken the front of the battle; that have sulked behind. They have failed to fling themselves into the conflict. They have clung to petty things at the expense of big things and the things that count, and, as a result, they have lost honor, honor to God. Life is not a thing with which ye can trifle. There are big issues for each one of us; and I say it today from the bottom of my heart—it may be for the last time—face SALVATORE copal District, who has gradually forged as the ablest and most eloquent Bishop His diocese is the largest in the entire api river to the coast and embraces theances in the Church.

You have twelve hours in God's day; no more, no less. Will you spend those hours with God? "The hours I spend with thee, dear heart, Are like a string of pearls to me; I count them o'er, every one apart." Dr. Silcox, who used to be the minister o the Westminster Congregational Church and who only recently revisited our city, told this story: A young soldier boy had been brought into the hospital. He had been given to the care of a particular nurse. He was delirious. The first day he imagined himself back at the fighting front. The second day he imagined himself in "no man's land," rescuing a wounded companion. But on the third day he imagined himself back home with mother, with sisters, and incident after incident he told of his boyhood days. The doctor told the nurse that the only thing that would save that young man's life would be an operation, and she was instructed to give him chloroform. She went to his bedside and, rubbing her hand on his forehead, said to him, don't you want me to put you to sleep. He said, yes; but before I go to sleep, let me say my prayers, and he began to say his prayers, but his mind wandered so that he could not say them. So he appealed to his nurse as he "OVER THERE." Sergt. Al. L. Hampton was born in Pierce City, Mo., August 3, 1895, and reared in Kansas City, Mo. He is a graduate of the Class of '14 of Lincoln High School. He is the son of Mrs. Beedie Hampton and the brother of Miss Wilma Hampton, whose residence is 1607 Harrison street. At the age of 22 he enlisted in the world war, being among the first Colored soldiers who arrived in France. January, 1918. Soon after his arrival he was made corporal, later receiving a higher office as sergeant. He is now in charge of a large trained body of men somewhere in France. He writes that he is well and doing fine. He likes soldier life and is doing his bit to protect his Country. While thinking of the condition of the Negro he composed the following thoughtful poem, that should appeal to every member of the race: The Negro Soldier. When you speak of the Negro soldier It makes the blood run fast; His cool, courageous record lives in all wars of the past. When our Countrys is in danger, He is first to volunteer; He thinks naught but his Country's call, His heart knows naught of fear. Would that all men were as loyal As the abused and the humble Black Who is as true as steel in time of need, Though often he is kept back. When we are at war, he does not stop To think of the many wrongs, But takes his place with smiling face In ranks with our fighting throngs. He feels that God is with him When he goes into the fight, And hopes that He who rules the world Will some day make things right. You may talk about your heroes, And their deeds of valor won, But there is none more worthy of our praise Than the American Negro son. When a man has been mistreated, And then goes forth to fight For those who have cruelly wronged him, He is game, be he black or white. If black troops get a fighting chance, Pray God that they will, They'll march right into Berlin, Like they did up San Juan Hill. All honor to the Negro soldier, May victory his portion be; All hail the mistreated hero, Who is fighting for you and me. When this great war is ended And the dove of Peace draws nigh, We will all share in Democracy, Or know the reason why. had appealed to his mother in his boyhood days. He asked her to re- peat them for him, and the nurse be- gan to repeat this childish prayer: "Now I lay me down to sleep," and the sick man repeated them after her until she closed her prayer, saying: "If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." After uttering that prayer, he went to sleep and never awoke. My ministry here is closing. We may never meet again, but what care we if we can look forward to meeting in God's house above, where congregations ne'er break up and Sabbaths have no end. You ask me where I am going: "I know not what the future hath of marvel and surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies; I know not where His islands lift their froned palms in air; I only know I cannot drift beyond His love and care. th e murtied car, No harm from Him can come to me on ocean or on shore." A GREAT DAY. The Dedication of the New Wheatley Provident Hospital on Last Sunday Marks a Distinct Epoch in Progress of Race. Twelve Thousand People Witnessed the Ceremony and Listened to the Addresses. The dedication of the New Wheatley-Provident Hospital on last Sunday witnessed the greatest gathering of members of the race that ever assembled in Kansas City. And the earnestness and enthusiasm evidenced in all that vast thorng speaks well for racial unity and progress in this community. The dedication was preceded by a monster parade, participated in by more than 4,000 people, divided into four divisions, with Mr. Eugene Lacey as Grand Marshal, assisted by G. A. Page, Q. J. Gilmore, Charles H. Harris and Col. Daniel Moore. The first division consisted of Marshal, Mr. G. A. Page. 1. W. P. Hospital Board. 2. Second Regiment Band. 3. U. R., K. of P. 4.

Flying from the building was a magnificent American flag presented to the hospital by Mrs. Pinkie Glenn, and it was indeed a beautiful and long to be remembered sight to see the different divisions as they swung in Forest avenue from 18th street, marching with military precision and with an air of dignity befitting the occasion. Music was furnished for the parade by the famous Blackburn's Federated Union Band of Musicians of fifty pieces, and by the popular Second Regiment Band and Drum Corps of forty pieces. Much credit is due these splendid musical organizations for having donated their services for this occasion, for which it would have cost under other circumstances $150.00 each. One of the organizations that attracted universal attention and won continuous applause was the Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem and St. Elmo Drill Team, under personal command of Col. T. B. J. Robinson and Mrs. Gertrude Hickman, Supreme Vice Queen. The Drill Team was elegantly uniformed and their marching aroused tremendous enthusiasm. They had three hundred forty-eight members in line besides the drill team and the thanks of the Hospital Board are due Col. Robinson as well as all the other organizations in line for their splendid showing. Through a mistake in orders the Masonic bodies were not in line, although Grand Master Fields and most of his cabinet marched with the Hospital Board and had the order gone out to the lodges in time, there would have been more than one thousand Masons, Knights Templars, Eastern Stars, and Heroines of Jericho added to the procession. On arriving at the Hospital grounds, which had been handsomely decorated and a great band stand, through the courtesy of the Park Board, had been erected and occupied by the Directors, speakers and distinguished guests, the following program was rendered: Master of Ceremonies Mr. Nelson C. Crews, Editor of the Kansas City Sun and Chairman of the Executive Committee. Song, Doxology. Masonic Choir, accompanied by Band and Populace. Prayer Rev. S. W. Bacote. Dedicotary Address Rev. William H. Thomas. Presentation of Keys to President Hospital Board Mr. Fred W. Dabney. Reception of Keys President J. R. E. Lee. Brief Addresses Dr. J. E. Perry, Dr. Unthank, Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn. President Hayes of George R. Smith College, Sedalia, Mo. President Clement Richardson of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. Dr. Roman of Nashville, who is traveling under the auspices of the War Department, delivering lectures to various cantonments throughout the country, made an especially impressive address, which was given rapt attention by the thousands who were loath to let him stop and are urging the hospital board to make a date for him to return to our city and address the citizens at one of our large auditoriums. After the completion of the program the doors of the hospital were thrown open and thousands passed through, all of whom were unanimous in their praise of the beauty and elegance of the institution and its furnishings. Since our last publication the following persons have paid in full their pledges to the hospital: $40.00— Dr. C. A. Murray Kane. $25.00— ..R ev. Samuel W. Bacote, D. D. Dr. T. C. Chapman. Hon.

Please Wear (Issued From Office of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 3.—War Department officials state that since the Officers' Reserve Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, out of which came 639 Colored commissioned officers, and proir to the establishment of the training schools at Camps Taylor and Pike, 111 Colored men were commissioned as officers in Infantry, 11 in Cavalry and 35 in Field Artillery; 107 officers in Infantry came out of the recent class at Camp Pike and 33 in Field Artillery came out of Camp Taylor last month. The foregoing summary gives a total of 941 Colored officers graduating from the Officers' Training Schools, and these figures are exclusive of those commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps and in special branches of the service, both over here and abroad, and the count does not embrace the officers of the National Guard and those in the original Regular Army. The War College at Washington advises that there have been registered 207 white labor companies, 200 of which were sent overseas before their organization was entirely complete. This is positive evidence that these Labor Battalions are not confined exclusively to Colored membership, as has been intimated in some quarters. A Colored Woman's Volunteer Service League of Newark, N. J., has been organized, as a branch of the Mayor's Committee of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, and has opened headquarters at 249 Mulberry street, where Colored soldiers may be made "at home" and entertainment provided for them. A suitable building is to be secured for the establishment of a canteen for the benefit of the soldiers. Some of the officers of this Voluntary Service THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1918. League are; President, Mrs. Amorel Cook; secretaries, Mrs. L. M. Holmes, Mrs. M. E. Burrell, Mrs. E. E. Hilton, and Mrs. Emma Wormley; and treasurer, Mrs. Louise Hilton. Mr. J. E. Blanton, in co-operation with the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities, is doing effective work in various camps in organizing "Liberty Choruses" among the Colored soldiers and in instructing them in the technique of plantation melodies, folk-song singing and the standard "spiruals." He is introducing with great success Natalie Curtis Burlin's newly-conceived and most happily harmonized folk-song, "A Hymn of Freedom," which is set for singing the tune of "Ride On, Jesus, Ride On." Opportunities for the entrance of competent Colored men in the Veterinary Corps are now open. Information relative to this branch of the service may be had by addressing Major Ray J. Stanclift, Assistant Director of the Veterinary Corps, Washington D. C. New barracks are being built at Howard University and Atlanta University for the accommodation of the young men who are coming in from all sections of the country to take the military training along with their academic studies and for the vocation al classes that will come from draftees who will be assigned there by local boards or army camp officials. The opportunities offered young Colored men through the Committee on Education and Special Training are being seized with eagerness, and so rapidly has the demand for this type of education grown, and so potent are the results noted, that the Government's policy of thus turning out specially trained men for its manifold needs, is meeting with universal approval and is to be continued indefinitely. By next July, it is estimated that 20,000 young Colored men will have received this training in some of its forms. Charles Harris, leader of the Commonwealth Band, of Baltimore, Md. has been appointed assistant band leader and will soon go to France with one of the Colored organizations. After six months, he will be made a second lieutenant. HiHgh officials in France are said to be exceedingly fond of the "jaz" music furnished by the Colored bands. General Petain recently visited a sector in which there are American troops and had "the time of his life" listening to a Colored band playing the popular "jazz" music, with some Negro dance stunts in keeping with the spirit of the melodies. He warmly congratulated the Colored leader upon the excellence of the work of his organization and thanked him for the enjoyable entertainment that had been given him. Colored men, serving as privates, who have abilities along any special line will find it to their advantage to acquaint their company commanders with the nature of their qualifications, and this may lead to congenial assignments in keeping with their mental or technical attainments. There is always something for a man to do who is of proved ability or special equipment. There are now forty-one Colored chaplains in the United States Army. It is expected that Colored chaplains will be provided for service at Camp Lee at an early date. Colored members of the "Committee of 100," who are authorized to present the war aims of the Government, are getting into touch with the State Councils of Defense in their respective localities, and are thus lending themselves effectively to the programs marked out for the particular needs of the several states. Mrs. Theodore Benoist, State Chairman of Missouri of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee, has appointed Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley as representative of the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee for work among the Colored people. Biggest and Best Agricultural and Industrial School West of the Mississippi River. Patriotic meetings are scheduled throughout the state, September 28th to October 19th, inclusive, at which time Mrs. Haley will deliver addresses placing the advantages of the Fourth Liberty Loan before the Colored people.

The Eighth Annual Session of the Southwest Missouri Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church began its deliberations in Ward Chapel last Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock and will continue its sessions until Sunday night, when Bishop H. B. Parks will announce the appointments for the year. It is one of the most largely attended and enthusiastic Conferences that this district has ever held, and Bishop Parks is highly elated over the splendid increased reports that have been made by the various pastors. Every Kansas City Church went over the top in its assessment and grand Old Allen Chapel, under the leadership of the brilliant Dr. William H. Thomas, broke all records in every department. The Conference opened on Sunday morning with the usual formalities; after the administering of the Holy Sacrament the hearing of reports was begun. On Wednesday night a grand reception was tendered the Conference, where addresses of welcome were delivered by Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Editor N. C. Crews and Mrs. Maude Jefferson. To these addresses Rev. J. T. Sanford responded with such brilliance and eloquence that at its conclusion he received an ovation. After a few congratulatory remarks by Bishop Parks, the Conference adjourned for a social half hour. Thursday night, the Missionary sermon was preached by Rev. O. H. Burbridge, pastor at Pleasant Hill, and who has been called to chaplaincy of the United States Army, and on Friday night, the Educational address was delivered by _____ at Ebenezer, where the Friday night sessions were held. Tonight a grand musical will be given at Ward Chapel, for the entertainment of the Conference and visitors and the Conference will close with the appointments to be read tomorrow night at Allen Chapel, where the final session will be held. The list of appointments will appear in our next week's edition. Among the distinguished visitors in attendance were: Dr. J. C.

Building Model Towns for War Workers COMMON IN CENTER OF THE TOWN Uncle Sam Is Providing Money But After War Buildings Will Revert to the Communities W HEN the United States entered the war and orders for goods of every description began to pour into industrial plants on a huge scale, the first cry of the manufacturers was for men. Whether skilled or unskilled, there was work for them. In order to attract as many as possible, wages gan to draw from $7 to $15 a day. High wages served the purpose of obtaining labor, immediately a new problem arose. Workmen came, but went away again. The output of factories was below what it should have been and it was difficult to maintain quality. This was due to the fact that as fast as the factories raised wages landlords raised rents. If a man was earning $10 a day and was obliged to pay nearly that much for a decent place in which to live, he did not linger long. Some factories were hiring 6,000 men a year in order to maintain a force of 1,000. Then Uncle Sam stepped in and went into the town-building business. An appropriation of $100,000,000 was made for emergency wartime housing, and while that was only a starter it was sufficient to provide shelter for about 150,000 persons. More money has been asked and it doubtless will be forthcoming. In the beginning Uncle Sam made a mistake. His first idea was to provide temporary barracks, something on the order of those at the army cantonments. But in the case of the ship workers he found out that 60 per cent of them are married, and their wives and children objected to living in bunk houses. Moreover, temporary houses, while costing within 10 per cent of as much as permanent ones, are a total loss within a few years. So he decided to make these towns permanent. As a result, he is now covering whole square miles of vacant countryside with pretty little houses, boarding places, stores, theaters, churches, paved streets and all utilities. He has at his service the best town planners and architects in America. And with all the haste that is being made, beauty and good taste are not being sacrificed. The houses will not all be allike in color, material or style. On the contrary, throughout each of these spacious, slumless tracts, will be evidence that the thing was planned as a whole—that this street was curved on purpose, because a curved street is prettier than a straight one—that yonder church was put squarely across the end of the park because it would look well there. The eye will unconsciously start a vain search for eyesores, blank side walls, billboards and disorder. The chief benefit which accrues to the worker from the building of these towns is the fact that landlordism is to be a thing unknown. The benefits are to go unfallingly to the workers. Rents must be based on cost and not on the maximum which the tenants can be forced to pay. And inasmuch as Uncle Sam has no desire to retain the ownership after the war, he has evolved a scheme to sell them, not to individuals, but to the communities as a whole, to be held in trust as community property. Each such town will be, at the start, at least, in the complete possession of a local housing company composed of and partially financed by public-spirited business men of the vicinity. They put up 20 per cent of the money and they get the other 80 per cent on first mortgage from the United States labor department or from the shipping board, each of which has $50,000,000 given them by congress this spring for just this purpose. In lending money to local housing companies in congested communities, the government lays down the stipulation that dividends shall be forever limited to 5 per cent annually—even after the government's mortgage is paid off. Any excess income must be re-expended upon the property or else eliminated by lowering the rents. The part of the rent that would ordinarily go to landlords' profits will go to pay off the government's mortgage at the rate of 2 or 3 per cent a year. The mortgage is for ten years, and at the end of that time enough presumably will be paid off to enable the government to say: "Go get a private mortgage to pay off the balance." Then if the local housing company has not meanwhile sold off any of the houses the town will substantially own itself, subject to mortgage. For its rents will be based purely on costs of capital and service. The private capital, limited to 5 per cent return, is practically a second mortgage. One of the first government loans made to the new village at Newport News provided that 90 per cent of the private capital is to be amortized and retired. Normally the private capital owns equity, including the part of the cost which has been amortized and the unearned increment, the size of which is more or less problematical, but it can't do anything with this treasure except redistribute the annual proceeds therefrom among the people in the form of a rebate on rents or in communal services, preferably the latter. Model War TYPICAL RESIDENCE STREET IN YORKSHIRE At normal rentals, the revenues of such a community will be far greater than ordinary taxes. For while houses depreciate, land neither rots nor wears, and such a town will be in effect owner of all its underlying land. The Utopia of the single taxers is achieved by virtue of the fact that the town was caught young and started right with no land boom allowed! The town will be in the position of having bought itself at cost without letting anybody pocket profits on the rising values. Perhaps the most remarkable example of Uncle Sam's ability as a town builder is Yorkship, near Camden, N. J., designed to serve employees of the New York Shipbuilding corporation. This town, where 10,000 of Uncle Sam's shipworkers will live while they are making ships with which to beat Germany, might almost be said to have been built overnight. Starting work early in the summer, 1,000 houses will be ready for occupancy in October, and another thousand will follow within a few months. Some idea of the speed employed in the work is indicated by the fact that one group of five workmen's houses was put up from foundation to roof in 36 hours. While putting up a thousand houses in a few months is an amazing feat in itself, it becomes more so when it is understood that the buildings of Yorkship are to be things of beauty, embodying all that is attractive in our old Colonial style of architecture, and at the same time up to date in everything. In short, it will be a town that will give the workers new zest for the morrow's work when they troop home of an evening. Speed, practicality and simplicity, but the best of everything, was the gist of the government's instructions, and these instructions are being followed to the letter. At the same time there isn't a trace of paternalism in the government's attitude toward the workmen. Uncle Sam simply wanted to show them that he fully appreciates what they are doing for him. The town of Yorkship will occupy a site of 140 acres, 100 of which are now being developed. The main feature of the town plan is a central square, about 800 feet on each side, from which the major streets radiate. Around the central square threestory buildings have been erected, with stores on the first floor and apartments above. The west side of the square opens upon a broad green, or common, 125 feet wide and 450 feet long, which is flanked at its farther end by church sites and terminated by a site for a school or library on an axis. From the north side of the central square a broad boulevard leads out toward New creek, connecting with a bridge and main connecting road to the shipyards. Parks and playgrounds are also liberally provided for. Streets are laid out, for the most part, with a width of 50 feet, with roadways 18 feet wide, grass strips 9 feet 6 inches wide, and sidewalks 4 feet wide. A few streets of greater width where there will be a concentration of traffic have been provided, while alleys of a 10-foot width are provided on the interior of all blocks. The plan for Yorkship is perhaps the most complete town plan ever made. Every house is complete; it has hot and cold water systems, modern plumbing, up-to-date plumbing fixtures, gas range, hot-water heater, electric light and cellar furnace. Most of the houses are of brick, with a few stone, stucco, or frame. The majority have slate roofs. The order for brick for Yorkship is said to have been the largest single order of its kind ever given. The brick used came from seven different manufacturers and is varied as to color, etc., so that the aspect of the village will not be at all monotonous. In fact, the architect has consistently aimed at avoiding monotony. Starting as he did on virgin land—the site of Yorkship before he went to work on it looked like an ideal golf course—it was out of the question to run up houses in unsightly rows, as if in a city. On the other hand, individual houses would have been too expensive. The problem that confronted him, therefore, was to produce dwellings at a minimum cost and yet make them as attractive as the nature of the plan demanded. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1918. In solving this problem, the architect evolved a limited number of units of architectural design and repeated them in large numbers through the village, but in such groupings and re-groupings as to obtain a considerable variety and interest. These group houses are for several families of workers—from two to five families in a group. When it is considered that it was necessary to design 250 actual structures in a period of four weeks and at the same time bear in mind that the structures had to be so varied in design as to be attractive, the difficulty of the task will be better understood and appreciated. To get the needed variety and yet conform to the general plan, the architect hit upon the unique idea of having small-scale drawings made on pieces of cardboard for different parts of a house—one for the middle, one for the right corner, one for the left, etc. By combining these slips like children's picture blocks so as to form a whole grouphouse, a surprising variety of combinations was obtained. As soon as particularly attractive combinations were made they were photographed, and it is these selected combinations which will appear again and again at Yorkship when the village is completed, yet they will be so arranged as to cause no monotony of effect. In addition to the varied types of houses, there were also developed about a dozen different types of porches. Then in order to add still further to the variety, a gable roof was designed for one group of houses, a flat roof for another, a roof like the ones in the old Colonial houses of Salem, Mass., for still another, and so on. No less than seven different kinds of roofing materials have been employed, including a new one which gives an interesting effect as of an old-fashioned ribbed copper or red tin roof, and does it so successfully that it takes an expert to tell the difference. Towns such as Yorkship undoubtedly will have an excellent effect on our workers. As an antidote to bolshevism they should prove most efficacious. It is impossible to imagine any man being discontented when his government is mobilizing the best talent in the country to provide for his comfort. At the offices of the Emergency Fleet corporation there are acres of desks at which the best housing experts in the country are busily engaged in evolving the best of housing plans. The architectural profession is being combed for town planners, and the government is looking all the time for the most distinguished engineers and the men most learned in public utilities, and employing them at no more than a living wage to give the workers every comfort and all the beauty of home surroundings that can possibly be obtained. To illustrate how this is all being done at a low cost unknown before, it may be stated that architects employed on such work are charging only one-sixth of the fees which they would charge under ordinary conditions in times of peace.

May Festivities May Festivities The May of merrie England, before the Puritan blight fell upon the land, is a thing of joyous memory. It recalls the maypole with its attendant maidens dancing about it, doing homage to their queen of the May. Even Puritanism did not entirely put an end to these celebrations, for the May festival survived here and there, and was even transplanted to New England by certain recalcitrants, as the chronicles of Morton at Merrymount testify. May festivals have been held in many New England towns all the way down toward the present time, and the custom has not yet wholly died out. TICKLED TO DEATH.

(Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper LESSON FOR OCTOBER 6 LESSON TEXT- Genesis 12:1-9 GOLDEN TEXT- Be thou a blessing Geneva 12:1-9 DEVOTIONAL READING—Hebrews 11: 1-10. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS—Genesis 11:27-32; Hebrews 11:8-10. 1. Abraham's Call (v. 1). The new era inaugurated with Noah at its head ended in a colossal failure. In view of such failure God turned aside from the nation as such, and called Abram out from his kindred and land, and placed him at the head of a new nation which he would train for himself. This call involved: 1. A call to separation. He was to leave the place of his fond associations for a land unknown to him. Obedience to this command meant the severance of three ties. (1) "His country in the widest range of his affections. (2) His place of birth and kindred, which comes closer to his heart. (3) His father's house, as the innmost circle of all tender emotions." All this must be cast off before the Lord could get him into the place of blessing. When kindred and possessions stand in the way of love and service to Christ, one must renounce them (Matthew 10:37). 2. A call to heroic tasks. For Abram to go into a strange land and take possession of it for God called for the heroic in him. It costs much to live the life of separation, but it is the only way to have God's favor. Those who are children of faithful Abram must trust God. II. God's Promise to Abram (vv. 2:3). God's demand for separation was followed by a seven-fold promise—a gracious engagement on the part of God to communicate certain unmerited favors and to confer blessings upon him. 1. "I will make of thee a great nation." (v. 2.). This in some measure compensated for the loss of his country. He escaped from the defiling influences of his own nation, and became the head of a chosen nation. This was fulfilled in a natural way in the Jewish nation and in Ishmael (Gen. 17:20), also in a spiritual seed embracing both Jews and Gentiles (Galatians 3:7-8). 2. "I will bless thee" (v. 2). This was fulfilled (1) Temporally (Gen. 13:14-17:24-35). He was enriched with lands and cattle, silver and gold. (2) Spiritually (Gen. 15:6; John 8:56). He was freely justified on the grounds of his faith. The righteousness of Christ was imputed to him. 3. "And make thy name great" (v. 2). He renounced his father's house, and became the head of a new house which would be venerated far and wide. He is known as the friend of God (James 2:23). 4. "Thou shalt be a blessing" (v. 2). It was a great thing to be thus honored and blessed by God, but to be the medium of blessings to others was greater still. It is more blessed to give than to receive. 5. "I will bless them that bless thee" (v. 3). God so identified himself with his servant that he regarded treatment of Abram as treatment of himself. Christ so completely identifies himself with his people that he regards wrong done to them as done to himself. Since he was God's friend, God regarded acts performed toward Abram as performed toward himself. In all ages since then the nations and individuals that have used the Jew well have been blessed. 6. "And curse him that curseth thee" (v. 3). The nations that have been against the Jews have never prospered. While God at different times used the surrounding nations as scourges of Israel, he in turn punished them for their mistreatment of Israel. 7. "In the shall all families of the earth be blessed" (v. 3). This has been fulfilled (1) In the Jewish nation being made the repository of the Oracles of God. Through them the Bible has been given to the world. (2) The bringing into the world of the Redeemer. (3) In the future time when the Jews shall be God's missionaries in carrying the good tidings of the Gospel to the ends of the earth. III. Abram's Obedience (vv. 4-9). Abram at once departed out of his own land. He proved his faith by his works. He did not argue or parley. Nelther did he demand some guarantee, but stepped out upon God's naked word. There were difficulties in his way, but faith in God made him brave. Faith in God gives victory over the world. He worshiped God. To go into a heathen land and establish true worship requires a courageous faith. Secrets in Our Heart We talk about searching our hearts. We cannot do it.

ANOTHER WAY TO SAVE OUR WHEAT Rolled Oats May Be Ground at Home With Food Chopper or Hand Mill. USED AS BREAKFAST CEREAL For Making Bread and Cakes It Is Best to Combine With Fine Flours —Recipes Given Have Been Thoroughly Tested. Rolled oats have long been used as a breakfast cereal in American homes, but the use of the ground rolled oats in place of wheat flour in bread and cake making is new to some people. Oats flour is procurable in some markets, but in most cases it does not differ materially from that made in the home by grinding the rolled oats in a hand mill or through a food chopper. Since oats flour is more granular than wheat flour, better texture can be obtained by using it in combination with one of the finer flours, such as rice flour, potato flour, or corn flour. The quick breads and yeast breads as well as the cakes and cooks made from the ground rolled oats, have an excellent flavor. Either the home-ground rolled oats or the commercial flour may be used in the recipes that follow. If you have favorite recipes of your own, use them, substituting one and one-eighth cupfuls of the ground rolled oats for one cupful of wheat flour. The recipes given here have been tested in the experimental kitchen of the department of agriculture, office of home economics, and of the home conservation division of the United States food administration.

The potatoes used should be freshly mashed with no fat or milk added. The water in which the potatoes cooked can be used for the liquid. Let this sponge stand in a warm place until very light. Set the sponge over night if dry yeast is used. Add corn flour and the ground rolled oats 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 double. Brush over the top of the loaf with melted fat before putting it to rise. Bake one and one-quarter hours in a hot oven. This will make one loaf. All breads made with substitute flours are better if baked in single-loaf pans or as rolls or buns. OATMEAL OUTPUT GROWS Practically the entire output of oatmeal and rolled oats in the United States is produced by 17 mills. During the last seven years there was a moderate and regular increase in the size of the business until 1917, when the output of these mills increased 64 per cent over the previous year. The total output in 1917 was more than double that of 1914 and almost three times as large as the 1911 production. Even with the large increase in 1917, however, the amount of oats used for human food is still only about 3 per cent of the entire oat crop. Boys and Girls Fall Gardens. The war garden should not be neglected during the later part of the season. Keep every foot of ground producing vegetables until frosts end the growing season. In the northern states there is still time to plant turnips, spinach, kale, radishes, lettuce, and beets, while in the middle South there is still time to plant all these crops as well as string beans and peas. In the lower South now is the time to plan for a good fall garden. In many sections of the South spinach, kale, lettuce, beets and similar crops may be planted at any time during the fall for use during the winter, as the climate is such that they will continue to grow throughout the winter. Potato-onion sets may be put out in the fall in almost all sections of the country. a gl Ye pp a — A a As He Remarked, He Was Slinker Only in. Name We YORK.—After driving around Central park in an automobile with a party of men friends who disappeared and left him to pay the fare, a man, describing himself as John Slinber, fifty-two years old, of 517 West Forty- magistrate, with the approval of the chauffeur, consented to suspend sentence if the man paid the 80 cents. Shoving his hand down fn his right-hand trousers pocket, he brought forth 8 roll of bills which astonished the court. It bristled with $100 notes. With a twist of his finger he peeled off a $100 greenback and handed it to the dumfounded chauffeur, while laughter filled the courtroom, “Give me my change,” he sald. This the taxicab driver couldn't do and the court interfered by saying, “Here, my good mau, pay the full bill, I thought your funds were limited.” “Oh, no, judge; I heard you the first time; 80 cents is the limit,” ejaculated the prisoner. “All right,” said the court; “pay him the 80 cents.” ‘The prisoner fumbled with the roll a minute or so, couldn't find anything but bills of large denominations, and down went his hand in his left-hand y trouser pocket and it came out with another bunch of greenbacks. He pulled off a dollar bill and handed it to the driver. ‘Turning to the policeman, he said; “Here's $200 for your trouble, and, judge, you're deserving of $50—here.” ‘The judge sat back in his chair and roared with laughter. Of course, the officials refused the money, and Slinker started out of the courtroom. When he got to the door he suddenly discovered that he didn’t have his 20 cents change and he went back and got it. As he finally passed out he remarked: “I'm Slinker, in name only.” Tore Up Hats of Woman She Says Took Husband New FRANCISCO.—Mrs. Dell Fowler, twenty-three years old, well dressed and attractive daughter of former United States Senator Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla, Wash., was arrested on charges of grand larceny and malicious married in 1915, That they might acquire sufficient money to go into business she says she went on the vaudeville stage as a musician, assisting her husband financially. Some months ago Fowler established himself in business here, and his wife says she returned to San Francisco again to make her home with him, She says she then learned that her husband was attentive to Miss Leslie and she went to Miss Leslie’s apartments. According to the police, Mrs, Fowler attacked her husband on entering the place and he fied down a fire escape.

Be ‘C]( ae) Shopping brigs and work bags have become Indispensable now that women are busying themselves about so many things, and especially since they are making it @ rule to carry small par- cels for themselves, Already the shops are beginning to place new ones on ‘display, anticipating the holidays that always bring a tremendous demand for bags of all kinds, ‘This year's business is expecting a demand for bags and for the materials of which they are made, that will exceed all Previous records, For the mood of the public favors useful gifts at holl- day time and the bag holds first place among them. It is in new mountings and trim- mings that the new bags differ from those of last year. Metal and celluloid divide honors in frames and mountings for both shopping and work bags. Work bags are a trifle smaller than they were—or those made of rib- bon and silk are, Many very practi- cal bags are made of cretonne and Mned with sateen and those Intended for dally service in all kinds of weath- er find a light weight black olleloth the best of material.

AN An Wa a ee ea prc Here ts something really brilliant, fatrly thrilling—the last word in sets for motor wear, Just as colored yarns had established themselves as the smartest of trimmings for hats and other things, a new material, as soft as silk and as shiny as glass, floated over the horizon of fashion, This ma- terlal and yarns were simply made.for one another—modistes discovered it Immediately, and they were Joined in this lovely motor set—made for real service. There 1s a hat and a bag and an frresistible belt that supports the mascot all Paris 1s wearing. “Nan- nette” and “Rintintin,” a grotesque little mald and her mate, both made of yarn, dangle from this belt and ex- ehange confidences while they protect thetr falr owner from harm, ‘This new material reminds one of patent leather but resembles it in the way that plald chiffon looks like gink- ham. It is black and brilliant, but as Nght welght and pliable as velvet. There 1s no name that describes it and ‘one will have to be invented to fit It, In the hat shown in the picture the crown { merely a large, soft puff set on A graceful brim that curves up at the left side. There ts a band about it finished at euch edge with deep but- tonhole stitches of purple yarn, and a small cluster of quaint flowers at the front, also made of the yarn in lighter shades, The bag ts finished in the same way with buttonhole stitching and yarn flowers and hangs from a Jong band that forms a loop for the arm, The same sort of band supplies the belt and this belt might be omit- ted, if it were not that Nannette and ver frame with silver handle. It ts finished with a silver tassel. None of these are actually “silver,” but they look like it and are best described by that name, although they are of some composition. Just as pretty handles and frames for shopping bags are made of cellulotd in all colors. Bags of taffeta, in the same color as street frocks, are made with these cellulold mountings. ‘The bag at the right {s of plain satin ribbon—five strips Joined together form it. Conventional roses and leaves are applied to the center strip, There are four of them, cut from green and red satin and outlined with black embroidery silk, At the ribbon counter bags of this kind are on dis- play with the mountings for them, They are not difficult to make. Have a Ribbon “Tam.” Bands of gray grosgrain ribbon were put together with heavy gray silk em- brofdery threads and used to make the erown of one of the “tams" so popular with girl wearers since the visit to this country of the French “Blue Devils.” “A tassel and velvet headband added to the put-together gray ribbons made a tam as pretty as a shop could offer for early fall wear, Rintintin must have some means of support, It happens that a black taffeta frock makes the best of back grounds for this set, but it is made to be worn with any sort of street dress and will not clash with any of the quiet fash- fonable colors. It {s called a motor set but may be counted upon for other wear and is elther really rain proof or has put up a most successful and con- vinelng camouflage, All in Blue.

ALWAYS HUNGRY AT NIGHT Kansas City Man Beginning to Fear He is Afflicted With an Un. patriotic Stomach, A Kansas City man who Is trying to be very patriotic 1s beginning to won- der if he is not cursed with a pro- German stomach, During the daytime, when he {s up on his feet, he has no trouble observing the food regulations, but Just as soon as he lies down at night to go to sleep, his stomach takes advantage of the fact that he is flat on his back and refuses to give way to Morpheus until he eats again. “Sometimes I manage to get to sleep Without taking on an extra cargo of food,” he says. “But when I do I usu- ally wake up in the middie of the night with a mad craving for food, and the only way I can get back to sleep {s to get up, go out to the kitchen and cook myself some hot food.” ‘The man says he has tried his best to overcome this hunger habit, but is unable to do so. Several times.a week he will go to the kitchen in the middie of the night, put on a skillet and fry a piece of ham, or bacon and eggs, and, after eating an ordinary size meal, will go back to bed and sleep. He says he has tried eating fruits and Ught food, but his stomach will have none of these ‘and insists upon meats. Often when he ig standing over a skillet dressed only in his pajamas in the dead of night he says he feels like a thief stealing food, while others who patriotically observe all of Mr, Hoover's regulations are asleep. “Maybe you have a tapeworm with ‘Teutonic leanings,” a friend suggested. “Maybe I have,” the man replied, sadly, “but I think It is an Inherited habit that is just getting a grip on me. I remember when my folks lived on a farm near Pomeroy. When I was just a kid my father used to have to get up in the night and eat as Ido, But it is only recently that I have becom? addicted to the habit, and it is only since the food regulations became so strict that I have worried about {t.” “Maybe your wife's cooking is not as good as it used to be,” was the next logical suggestion. “Don't you ever think it isn’t, young man” the glutton of the darkness re- plied indignantly. “My wife, sir, is the best cook in Kansas City! You may ac- ecuse me of having German tapeworm or of having an unpatriotic stomach, but you must not reflect upon my wife's culinary art, Good evening, sir!” —Kansas City Star. Eels Are Eels, John Treadwell Nichols, assistant curator of the department of {chthy- ology of the American Museum of Nat- ural History, has done his bit for the food supply by an effort to lessen the prejudice against eels, ‘The chapter of the cookbook devoted to eels should begin: “First catch your eel; then forget how it looks.” ‘The trouble with eating eels is at the start. After the first plate of eels the reluctant customer is ready for more, nee Mr. Nichols assures us that eels have, in fact, no relationship with snakes. They have developed thelr form and sinuosity by thelr habit of poking into cracks and crannies of waterbeds, They are true fishes and should not be victims of the prejudice against snakes. ‘The classte way to cook eels is to skin them, clean them, cut them into lengths and fry in butter. “Many per- sons,” says Mr. Nichols, “find them delicious,” ‘That's no lie—Buffalo En- quirer, Unfortunate anvession: Although our new war secretary, Lord Milner, cannot exaetly be said to shine as a humorist, he can enjoy a good story against himself, as wit ness the following, which he {s fond of relating.

Naturally, he had invaded the Lhassalike forbid- dingness of the locked gate and lidded can, but all the satisfaction he got out of his adventure was a broom-chasing from the leading lady of Lhassa. So Villa ignored the locked gate and for countless moons his coat showed the bulge of the gourmand, Then the meatless days came. And food prices took to rivaling airplanes a8 to altitude, and galvanized cans showed their corrugated bottoms. And Villa began to starve. Inside the forbidden gate the two ladies of Lhassa considered the bony, creeping thing that had been old Villa, and as no creature must suffer if you ean help it, they made a point of saving bits of this and that and setting it in paper napkin outside on the cobbles, away from the gate, so that the old fellow would never suspect and take liberties with his patrons, But you can’t tell about cats! ‘The other morning the women went on their front steps, and there under the cool shade of the bush of golden glow lay old tortoise-shell, perfectly at home, with three brand new kittens—all white, ‘Then they knew that of all the houses that had contributed to Villa’s rioting in peace times, he had found out, somehow, that he could come to the ladies of Lhassa in his need, though, of course, he was a she, And that’s all there is to it except that—— ‘They are there this minute, Suffragette Gatherings That Verge on Comedy See times of late a very orderly little drama has been enacted in Lafayette park, this city, without attracting much more attention than a dog fight, A group of well-dressed women parades solemnly across the park “Have you permission to speak, madam?” he inquires, “Then we must ask you to stop.” “I refuse,” says the speaker quietly. “Wo protest" “Men,” says the sergeant in a bored tone, “place these ladies under arrest.” He always says “ladies.” The ladies are then conducted ail.

E. Dim- ery, Josephine Abernathy and Ona Wilson delivered beautiful addresses in keeping with the occasion. Mr. C. A. Franklin, speaker of the evening, touched upon many points of interest that affect not only the boys in ser- vice but the race as well. A large audience witnessed the splendid con- cert given by Ebenezer Choir. Indeed many parts could be classed as Grand Opera. The solo and Chorus work were all exceptionally good and entertain- ing. The male quartet, however, made the hit of the evening. Special men- tion should be given Mrs. Rev, Holmes who is indeed a lyric soprano soloist for kindly rendering two selections on the program. Too much comment and praise cannot be given the brilliant chorister, Mrs. Louise Stewart, and Ebenezer’s faithful choir for the work and showing made at this recital.
