Have you ever met a Colored man in this country who wa sa pro-German? do you even know anyone who thinks he has actually seen one? I have personally made this inquiry in the South, in New England, on the Pacific coast, and here at home in the central West, and have arrived at the firm conviction "There ain't no such animal" as pro-German American Colored man. When the big war started and Bernstoff let loose his long and carefully prepared plans of arson, bombs, strikes, and general confusion in this country, one of the most dastardly schemes on which his boss depended, was an uprising of the nine million Colored people in the South. The effort was well organized, bountifully supplied with money, was operated with great secrecy, and at first was carried on outside the larger southern cities. All sorts of impossible rewards were promised; the blacks were to own and rule the South; every sort of poison lie was used to tempt the Colored people into a revolt against the whites. It was expected and hoped this revolution would keep this country busy for the duration of the war. Of all this people in the North heard very little. To the everlasting credit of the Colored people they refused to be led into the trap, and like the proposed revolution in India and Egypt and some other countries, the plot miserably failed. At last we entered the war. What then of the Colored man? When voluntary enlistment was offered, he responded promptly and in large numbers. During the Civil war, it was no infrequent part of a northern general's report of a battle that "the Colored troops fought bravely." The reports which are reaching us of the Colored troops in France include more than "fought bravely"—they fight magnificently. A letter from an officer describing such a regiment going "over the top" is a picture worth painting. Bare-headed, shirts unbuttoned or no shirts at all, with the most unearthly yells, as demons let loose, they went at the enemy like a cage of wild lions released. These boys from the cotton and cane fields like best to fight with the bayonet, which Fritz enjoys least of all, but in hand-to-hand combat they fall back on their trusty razor or knife, in the use of which they are more than proficient. The stanchest Hun is said to quail and run before one of these dusky giants bent on carving a map of Florida on a fat German face, or a delta of the Mississippi on his throat. Yes, the Colored troops are still "fighting bravely."—From Popular Mechanics. SWIFT & CO. AND THE NEGRO. Prominent among the packing companies supplying our Government with the choicest meats for our soldiers and sailors at the front, in the cantonments and elsewhere are Armour's, Cudahy's, Morris, Swift's, and Wilson's. Swift & Co. was founded by Gustavus F. Swift. Like all great leaders, he left the beaten track. Among the ideas he put into execution one stands out unique, the refrigerator car. This generation can hardly remember when long trains of cattle cars with steers were hauled at frequent periods from the vast western plains to the enormous consuming markets of the East. This method was not satisfactory. Mr. Gustavus F. Swift successfully solved the problem. He dressed the beef on the ground and sent the first carload of beef ready for the oven to the East about forty years ago. This simple though satisfactory arrangement, he developed until today 7,000 refrigerator cars deliver more than 3,000 million pounds of beef over more than 150 million miles of rails any water. This initiative still pervades Swift & Co., which numbers more than 22,000 stockholders. It may not be generally known that two of these are Negroes, one from Kansas City and the other from New York City. In the Kansas City plant many Negroes are employed and not a few hold responsible positions. Not the least interesting is the chicken department where the weekly check of one Negro is repeatedly $8.50. He considers that a dull week where he gets his minimum check of $50. In this department also are three Colored women experts in chicken dressing. They earn $5.00 per day with little effort. WM. H. DAWLEY. ARCH-BISHOP IRELAND. When the soul of Arch-Bishop Ireland, the great Roman Catholic prelate of St. Paul, was summoned to the judgment bar a few days ago, the Colored race lost a powerful champion and a true friend. Whether in the pulpit, on the public platform, in the state legislature, or in the halls of Congress, Bishop Ireland thundered forth in strong terms, justice and fairplay for all peoples, and pointed out many times the unjust and inhuman practice of lynching and burning and other outrages perpetrated against the Colored race in this country. The blessings of twelve millions of Colored Americans go out to the memory of the great Bishop—Portland Advocate. The citizens of this city were shocked to hear of the death of Albert Damel, assistant Y. M. C. A. secretary at Camp Funston, last Wednesday from the dreaded influenza. He only returned to the camp Sunday after a brief visit with his parents at Jefferson City and was the picture of health when he passed through here. The Sun extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1918.

COLORED CITY HOSPITAL, maintained and supported by Kansas City, Missouri, and the largest and best equipped institution of its kind in the United States. Dr. William J. Thompkins. Superintendent. NEGRO DOCTOR FINED $1,000. One thousand dollars was the price paid by Dr. B. B. Jackson, a Negro physician, for writing prescriptions for drug addicts to enable them to obtain drugs. He was arrested on Wednesday evening. Because the judge, Edward J. Fleming, did not consider the maximum fine, $500, sufficient for the case, he assessed an additional $500 for vagrancy. This is the second offense for Jackson, he having been paroled upon promise to stop the drug trade. The Community Meeting of the Lincoln High School which was to have been held Sunday, October 20th, has been deferred on account of the influenza epidemic until November 3d, at which time Judges Bulger, Woodson and Pendleton of the Jackson County Court, will speak in behalf of the proposed parental home for Negro children.. The monthly musical will also be given at that time. J. R. E. LEE, Principal. AN APPRECIATION. The members of Bethel A. M.

The colored division of the City Hospital is the only hospital that is giving such a course. The ladies are made up of some of the best citizens of Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas. They have taken the training not as a necessity, but that they might have additional preparation to that of their general vocations, and that they might render assistance to the boys "over there" and to those moral character and one whom to know is to love. We shall ever cherish his administration at Bethel for its excellence and worth and commend him to our people everywhere as a scholar, a gospel preacher, and a true Christian gentleman. MEMBERS OF BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH, Kansas City, Mo. WHEATLEY- PROVIDENT HOSPI TAL NOW IN ITS NEW HOME. At last the dream of the Directors and friends of Wheatley-Provident Hospital has been realized and this splendid organization is now housed in its new $40,000 home at 1826 Forest avenue. The Sun has no hesitancy in saying that it is the handsomest and best equipped hospital owned, operated and controlled by Negroes in the United States and that it is destined to occupy a commanding position in this country. Dr. J. Edward Perry has been unanimously elected as House Surgeon and Superintendent for the fiscal year and every equipment that his long years of experience suggests has been provided. While quite a few subscribers have made partial payments during the week, only these two have paid in full: $15.00— Mr. William M. Jacobs. $5.00— Mr. C. Allen. We believe that the man who fails.

This class began on the 15th day of August, and the course of two months was completed October 15th. They have had an elementary training in Hygiene, Sanitation, Physiology, Bandaging, First Aid Treatment, Anatomy, Bacteriology, Feeding the Sick, Home Dietetics, Materia Medica and Practical Demonstration. In the last weeks since influenza has been sweeping our city they have voluntarily rendered most valuable service. An education of this kind is to pay his subscription should be given the same pitiless publicity that was given white slackers in the Fourth Liberty Loan Bond Campaign. On yesterday in honor of the grand opening the Women's Auxiliary No. 1 of which Mrs. N. C. Crews is president, served a delightful chicken dinner to more than one hundred and fifty of the friends of the institution in its spacious dining room, and all who had an opportunity to look through the building went away singing its praises. One of the pleasing and highly appreciated gifts of the week was the furnishing of an entire Ward by Mrs. Lena Jordan in memory of her husband, the late Captain Leon H. Jordan, who was for many years a member of the first Hospital Board in this city and who was until his death a warm friend of this institution. Many gifts of needed articles and furnishings are being received daily and our people are giving a demonstration of racial pride and unity that speaks well for the future. Mr. E, V. Camel, prominent undertaker of Denver, Colo., and Grand Master of U. B. F. & S. M. T. of Colorado and jurisdiction, was a guest of Dr. J. H. Williams. Mr. Camel and Dr. Williams went to St. Louis to attend the National Board of U. B. F.'s but same was postponed on account of the prevalent epidemic of influenza.

By virtue of this asset, it is expected that these young ladies will play a most needful part in serving humanity in our neglected society. The commencement has been postponed because of the epidemic which is prevalent in the city, and the same will be announced later. A new class will be opened for enrollment and start the first of next week. There is no charge for this course.

TO RAISE A MILLION DOLLARS FOR MISSIONS. Cleveland, O., Oct. 13.—The Fall session of the College of Bishops of the Colored M. E. church, which convened here Thursday morning, adjourned today. The meeting was attended by a majority of the bishops and general officers. Among those attending were Bishop L. H. Holsey of Atlanta, Ga.; Bishop R. S. Williams of Augusta, Ga.; Bishop E. Cottrell of Holly Springs, Miss.; Bishop C. H. Philipps of Nashville, Teen.; Bishop R. A. Carter of Atlanta, Ga.; Bishop N. C. Cleaves of Memphis, Tenn.; Drs. J. C. Martin of Jackson, Teen.; J. A. Bray of Birmingham, Ala.; R. S. Stout of Louisville, Ky.; J. W. Gilbert of Augusta, Ga.; T. H. Copeland of Hopkinsville, Ky.; H. D. Denson of Springfield, Mass., and Editor J. Hamlett of Jackson, Tenn. This being the first meeting of the bishops since the recent General Conference much important business came before them. Among other things the council did was the launching of a great Centenary Movement in keeping with the spirit of missions in other great Methodist churches. It was decided that the C. M. E. church should raise a million dollars as a Centenary Mission Offering. The same to be used in promoting missionary and educational enterprise of the church. This action was taken upon the suggestion of Bishop Carter, who is one of the greatest missionaries in Negro Methodism. The Texas Freeman, published at Houston by our honored friend, Chas. N. Love, pays a high tribute to our prominent townsman, Dr. J. Edgar Dibble, who is visiting relatives and friends in that city, his boyhood home. Dr. Dibble is fully deserving of the many good things said concerning him. PRICE, 5c. Bonds LLOWAY, Union of the Fourth Liberty Loan Com- Over the Top" in gallant style with a more than $500,000.00. Much credit is due the Colored men and women who worked so energetically and successfully in the recent Bond Campaign. Speakers, musicians and singers all acquitted themselves with much ability and it is no disagreement to any of the other speakers to say that one of the most successful and generally applauded speakers—white or colored—was Mr. Felix H, Payne. His speech was a gem and was a revelation to those who did not know of his ability. Chairman Calloway, Secretary Astwood and Publicity Chairman Thompkins have a right to feel proud of their splendid contribution to the success of the Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign. A. E. MR. CHARLES A. ASTWOOD, the brilliant and hustling Secretary of the Negro Division of the Fourth Liberty Loan Committee. Mr. Astwood is a graduate of Cambridge, Mass., a writer and orator of much ability and a son of the late distinguished Rev. H. C. C. Astwood, once United States Minister to Santa Domingo. Mr. Astwood is a man of ripe experience, has traveled in nearly every country on the globe and i's recognized as one of the most careful and reliable actuaries the race has produced, having for many years been in the insurance business.. At present he is Secretary of the Wonder Oil and Gas Company, which has an elegant suite of offices at 1516 East 18th street, where they are demonstrating the possibilities of a Negro in business. Mr. F. A. Harris, Secretary of the Paseo Y. M. C. A., will address the Senior B. Y. P. U. of Second Baptist Church Sunday evening at 6:30 p. m. His subject will be "What Is Christian Citizenship?"

TO THE BRETHREN OF THE MA SONIC FRATERNITY AND IN- TERESTED FRIENDS. Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 15, 1918. I feel in justice to the facts I should make known the reasons why the Masonic Lodges of Kansas City were not in the process September 29th when the Wheatley-Provident hospital was dedicated Some persons have criticised us because they do not understand Masonic usage; others who are within the craft have done so with malice, and in spite of their knowledge that Masons appear in public only in celebrations of their patrons' days, for funerals of members, laying of cornerstones and in dedications of which they have charge. Since no invitation came to the craft as a whole through me as deputy, none came to any individual lodge with which others could co-operate, and none to the Mrand Master who even more than myself could have ordered our presence, the Kansas City Lodges could have participated in this event only by doing violence to established Masonic custom. E. G. LACEY, District Deputy. FUNERAL OF MRS. TROTTER. Noted for Her Work Among Colored Race. (From Boston Post, Oct. 13.) The funeral of Mrs. Geraldine Louise Pindell, wife of William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Guardiam, was held yesterday at 2 o'clock from her home, 97 Sawyer avenue, Dorchester. The Rev. Walter D. McClane, rector of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church of Cambridge, conducted the service with the Episcopal ritual, "Crossing the Bar" and "Fear Ye Not, O Israel," from "Elijah" were sung by Harry Delmore, tenor. The gray casket was banked with a profusion of beautiful floral tributes, one from the Boston Literary Association, another from the men of the Parker House. The honorary pallbearers were William D. Brigham, E. T. Morris, C. H. Plummer, William L. Reed, E. E. Brown, Dr. J. Washington Hill, the Rev. M. A. N. Shaw. The active pallbearers were E. P. Benjamin, William P. Hare, James Anderson, Robert Johnson, Frederick Brooks, Private David G. Morris, adopted soldier son of the deceased, from Camp Devens; Dr. A. P. Russell and Dr. H. W. Ross. There was a large attendance of friends. Interment was at Fairview cemetery, Hyde Park. Mrs. Trotter left to mourn her loss her mother, Mrs. Mary Pindell; a sister, Miss Gertrude Pindell; a foster brother and her husband. Geraldine Louise Trotter was born in Boston, Oct. 3, 1872, the daughter of Charles E. and Mary Pindell. She was educated in the Boston schools, and for 10 years was bookkeeper for Eli Cooley, china decorator, until she married Mr. Trotter, June 27, 1899, in the same house where she died, Oct. 9, 1918, at the age of 46 years. Her chief life work was associate manager of the Boston Guardian, an organ for equal rights for Colored Americans, published by Mr. Trotter.

Manufactured only by INC & CO --- WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Mr. and Mrs. Officer Seemed to Have Right Idea Mr. and Mrs. Officer Seemed to Have Right Idea WASHINGTON.—There are two people in this town good enough to be framed in gold—meaning an army officer and his wife. That they live in the suburbs of Vanity Fair signifies no more than the mere luck of money and fine capacity of "mother's helper." The young private came whenever he was on leave and everything grooved along beautifully until one day he had to confide to Mrs. Officer an anxiety in regard to his wife. He had money enough for all expenses, but—— Mrs. Officer put an end to his worry right there. She knew more about the case than he did—and he was not to worry; a nice room had been engaged at the hospital and everything was sure to go right—which it did. After a bit the officer and his wife brought the mother and her baby home and waited on her as tenderly as if she had been their own daughter—and, from the start, you couldn't tell which woman owned the baby. All sorts of happy luck can happen to a young couple, so, naturally, his being made a corporal was just a matter of course—likewise the indorsement of the baby given by the fellows from camp who came especially to see it, but—— The really worthwhile thing about the incident was the repudiation by the officer and his wife of the salted-down class distinction that puts the mistress a mile above the maid—to say nothing about the good common sense of an army big gun who could see in the young private something more human than an automaton wound up to salute. Sometimes Nature Seems to Square Things Up Sometimes Nature Seems to Square Things Up SHE was a "red seal" young woman, from bronze ties to a plume that was as royally superior to the feather of commerce as, say, a princess on her throne—provided a princess has one—is above the poor girl who gathers unattainable treasure that she would give her life to own, that another woman, who had been enviously staring at the bronze slippers, the plume and all the stylish gold-brown clothes of her, followed the gaze of the princess to see, for her self, what royalty could be craving that royalty couldn't get. Then she understood, for: On the opposite side of the car sat the faggot girl who had flown the woods long enough to make a date with a flamboyant youngster whom she doubtless called "her feller." She was tawdry of dress. One cheek was pouched out with chewing gum. The cord that strung the far-distant pearls around her neck was dirt-gray, and her knuckles were grimy. But her cheek, when it got a show, was the oval that Greek Philias put on his statues. Her neck was like the snow drift that distinguished Annie Laurie. Her skin was of the velvety pink of roses that grow in memory's garden. Her teeth were white splendors. And her eyes were midnight suns. All that and some more. Nature, in a freak of extravagance, had squandered enough beauty on the faggot girl to have gone around among a dozen, and then, in an economic fit, had skimped on the poor dear princess. Not All Soldiers Seem Inclined to "Talk Shop" ONE has little trouble starting a conversation with soldier boys, and every one of them talks mightly interestingly about everything except the war—if one will permit them. For instance, I ran into a husky sergeant who wanted to did you ever notice how cross a kid is when it is cutting its teeth, and do you suppose those Germans who killed babies ever were human beings. He reckoned not, and for that reason he was dead anxious to get across and do his bit by knocking the daylights out of some of those baby killers. None the less interesting is the fellow who has tried to get into the army and failed. I met one of these, too. He told me that he had been put into class 5, and showed me his card, too. He found, however, that if he loafed around the depot he could meet a lot of men who had seen actual service or who were on their way to the trenches, who had a great many interesting things to tell him. And not the least interesting of everything one sees about the station are the girl war workers, who come, with smiling lips, to "do their bit." They smile, I say, which shows that they arrive without knowing the current prices of room and board. Had More Than Their Share of Servant Problem TWO Frenchwomen, wives of members of one of the French commissions sent to Washington by their government since the United States entered the war, were riding home on the street car the other night. The voices of the women were talking about. Was it the war? Was it of heroes and heroines? Or the sacrifices of their native land for freedom? It was the servant problem! They were not troubled much by inability to get domestics, it seemed. Their trouble was this: Being themselves able to speak English but imperfectly, they were having a dreadful time, they said, to make their servants understand what they wanted done. is only mentioned because of the thing that money cannot buy in these days of enlistments and war work—house help. You mustn't say servants any more. One day they got in touch with the young wife of a private in a nearby camp. She had come from the West, where everybody works, and, being a stranger here and unfitted by experience and physical condition for clerical employment, was glad to enter Mrs. Officer's employment in the fine capacity of "mother's helper."

As proof of this he declared that his brother-in-law, whom, of course, I never had heard of before, and don't know now, had a two-year-old lad who was just as smart as anybody. Yes, sir, when the soldiers went into the army, more than a year ago, the baby bid him good-by, and the other day, when the soldier came back, that baby knew him right away.

This is the most powerfully fortified city in the world. TROOP SUPPLIES 3 MONTHS AHEAD "Y" MAN NEEDS SLEEP --- Tours.—The American army in Europe could be fed and clothed and all its creature comforts looked after for three months if not another pound of supplies was secured. This was the statement made here by officers of the army quartermaster's department, which directs this mammoth work of supplies. It gives an idea of the vast stock of reserve resources stored in the miles of warehouses stretching from the coast inland to the fighting line, and it is a comforting assurance, too, that this huge reserve will be kept up through the coming winter period, so that the American soldier's warmth, as well as his food and clothing, will be fully looked after. Some Big Job. It is a huge undertaking to feed a million men even for a single day—a million men scattered to a thousand points, in trenches, on battlefields and camps, along 300 miles of front and for a depth of 500 miles. And when are added housing and clothing and the period is extended through the winter months of cold and frost, with the prospect that another million or two of men may be headed this way before long—with these elements one gets some idea of the magnitude of the supply problem for a million or more men. Here at the center of the system, where the receipts are regulated and the distribution made, there was an opportunity of learning some of the details of how the system operates. In the food branch alone it takes over 4,000,000 pounds of food every day to feed the army. This prodigious daily consumption of food embraces 1,000 pounds of flour baked into a million pounds of bread every day, 875,000 pounds of fresh beef, 875,000 pounds of potatoes, 200,000 pounds of sugar and 125,000 pounds of tomatoes. The pepper and salt for a single day is 42,500 pounds. Army coffee is roasted at the rate of 70,000 pounds a day, and it takes 20,000 pounds of solidified alcohol to cook this coffee through the month. The beef is the bulkiest product used each day, and occupies a daily space of 45,000 cubic feet, or about the dimensions of a bustiness block, of solid meat. Flour comes next, requiring 25,000 cubic feet of daily space, and potatoes about the same. A Few Daily Items. These are only a few of the main items. But the list runs all through the many requirements of the oversea army ration, with vast quantities in each case. Here are some of the other daily items: Bacon, 225,000 pounds; beans, 75,000 pounds; rice, 50,000 pounds; onions, 250,000 pounds; evaporated fruit, 70,000 pounds; jam, 70,000 pounds; milk, 62,500 pounds; vinegar, 40,000 pounds; lard, 40,000 pounds; butter, 31,000 pounds; syrup, 40,000 pounds. These being included in the oversea ration, every one of the million By E. M. BATCHELOR. "No boys, I'm not so very tired," said the Y. M. C. A. secretary. "Just a little after a week of that," indicating with a wave of his hand the country behind, from which came incessant sounds of artillery and machine-gun fire. But he was dead tired, and the ambulance driver who was giving him a ride knew it. The secretary's head bobbed from side to side as the ambulance thumped along the rough road. At intervals the Y. M. C. A. man slept, roughly roused whenever a shell-hole jolt threw him against the side of the vehicle. The ambulance was stopped by the side of the road so that the driver might tighten a loose bolt. "I guess I'll lie down for a minute while you are working," said the Y. M. C. A. secretary. In a second he was sound asleep by the road. An hour later the driver shook him. --- GET WRITING CRAZE men is entitled to his full allowance, and it must go forward to him wherever he is. So that besides the vast daily stock there is the question of unfalling daily delivery, first by railways and camlion trains, and then to the individual soldier. Besides this 4,000,000 pounds of food moving forward daily to the troops, each man carries with him two days' emergency ration, 5 pounds to the man, an additional 5,000,000 pounds of food for an army of a million men. Of the emergency ration, carried on the back, there is outstanding every day 2,000,000 pounds of corned beef and 2,000,000 pounds of hardtack, 300,000 pounds of sugar, 62,500 pounds of coffee, 20,000 pounds of salt, and 500,000 pounds of solidified alcohol for heating and cooking while on march. GET WRITI Yankee Fighters Heap Troubles on the Censor. When Out of the Trenches He "Tells 'Em About it" in Reams and Reams. Parls.—The letter-writing craze has struck the American army. Just as soon as he gets out of the trenches the doughboy washes up scurries around for pen and paper and sits down to tell 'em all about it. And he tells 'em in reams and reams. "Well, let's see," he says, as he meditatively kicks his steel helmet PAL TO TOMMY ATKINS MARK DETROIT PAPER PRODUCTION Only a little wiry, French terrier, but a pal to this lonely Tommy out on "No Man's Land." Picked up between the lines during a raid the little dog and great big man have become inseparable. The terrier has at last found a peaceful home even if it is only in a tin hat of a British Tommy. EEDS SLEEP "Sorry to wake you up," he said, "but I absolutely must be getting on. I'm likely to be court-martialed now for being so long on this job, but I would rather take a 'month and a month' than have robbed you of that sleep. I decided that the war could go on for an hour without me, while you tore off 40 winks." This is just one of many instances showing how the Y. M. C. A. stands with the army. That driver had voluntarily risked getting into trouble with his commanding officer because he knew the Red Triangle man needed sleep. Wants Twins in Same Company. Topeka, Kan.—Martin Litke, a farmer of Council Grove, does not ask exemption for his twin sons, George and Jerry. All he wanted of the district draft board was that they should go to war together. The board granted the request. SAILOR SYMPATHIZES Queenstown.—The Right Reverend Doctor Browne, Lord Bishop, is a person of consequence, as his title might indicate. He had settled himself comfortably in the corner of a first class compartment when, just as the train pulled out, a happy and carefree crowd of American sailors piled into the compartment. They were on leave and everybody's friends. "Are you a priest?" asked one. "I suppose I was at one time," was the good-humored reply of the man who was known throughout the land as "his lordship." "Well, I was a chief gunner at one time," the jackle replied, "but I have been disrated also—through booze!" ING CRAZE under his cot "I've got to write to ma and pa, Kittle and Johnny Boggs over at Canton, O. Then, I owe Nell Johnson a letter. And I've got to scribble a few lines to Uncle Abe and Aunt Minnie. After that I'll answer those letters of Bill and Tom." Writing materials—paper and envelopes—are not always plentiful where the doughboy is stationed, and for a while it was doubtful whether the last of his correspondence list would receive their letters, for the supply in the small town stores was soon exhausted. But the Y. M. C. A., learning of this scarcity, soon arranged to supply all contingents. It sent out seven million sheets of writing paper and some 3,500,000 envelopes a month. With the tremendous growth of the expeditionary force, orders have been increased and the estimate for next year is 120,000,000 sheets of paper and 60,000,000 envelopes. This means that the Yanks will use about 720 tons of writing materials—720 tons of news and comfort for the folks at home. And when the censor officers stop to consider it they grow weak, for it is their duty, along with everything else, to censor the letters and see to it that the soldier uses discretion and doesn't mention things of military importance. TWO CHAMPIONS ARE WED Best Dishwasher and Best Cook Ought to Make Useful Combi nation. Kansas City, Kan.—Two Kansas champions, the best pastry cook in the state and the best dishwasher in the state, were married here recently, Francis A. Davis, seventy, a veteran of the Civil war and chief pastry cook at the Soldiers' home at Leavenworth, Kan., and Mrs. Ida N. Wilson, forty-nine, a widow employed as a dishwasher at the home were the parties. YANKEE BAPTIZED ON A RUN Made Chaplain Hurry Because He Wanted to Catch Up With His Company His Company. With the American Army at the Marne.—A long line of dust-covered Yankees were pushing their way through a shell-battered village near Chateau-Thierry toward a ridge of hills from which came the rumble of artillery fire. At a crossroads they came upon a chaplain, waiting beside a broken-down sidecar. One of the doughboys fell out of line and walked rapidly up to the crossroads. "Say, Chaplain, baptize me quick, will you?" he urged. "We'll be in the line to-night." The chaplain walked away from the sidecar. "Do you believe"—he began. "Yes, sir; I believe everything!" interjected the boy; "but I've got to catch my company. Can't you make it quick?" In less than a minute the ceremony was over and he was running up the road. INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE CITIES Dominick Simply Could Not Give Up Uniform Sf. LOUIS.—If Provost Marshal Crowder had visited the children's court the other day when Dominick Galeno was called to the bar of justice to answer to a charge of masquerading in khaki the draft age might shortly be dropped Dominick's parents withdrew him from school two years ago and placed him in business. When war came Dominick informed his parents he would enlist. They would not hear of it. So last July, after taking an active part in the celebration of the Fourth, Dominick enlisted in the state guard. He said he was eighteen, and might safely have said twenty-eight. For a while he only did duty at the armory, drilling and the routine work of the rookie. Toward the latter part of the month he was ordered to do guard duty upstate. He was given real cartridges. Two days passed watching for German agents; then he was called into the tent of his captain and informed that he was discharged. He went home to learn that his parents had had him removed from the service. Then Dominick was arrested for parading in the uniform. Magistrate Reynolds heard the case and held the boy for trial at special sessions. No proof of the boy's age was before the court. Later, at special sessions, his age was determined and the case was transferred to the children's court. Justice Wilkin seemed inclined to deal severely with the boy. He said: "If I find that this boy deliberately paraded about in uniform I shall send him to the house of refuge. I am a stickler for respect for the uniform and this boy showed no respect when he refused to return the uniform to the state and continued to wear it without the right." Storm Brought to Mind the Pranks of Halloween Storm Brought to Mind the Pranks of Halloween MINNEAPOLIS.—Weary from work and the severe mental strain brought on by the tornado at Tyler, rescuers were forced time and again to stop as they smiled grimly at some of the frolics of the storm. The sight of chickens whisked along the street at a rapid rate and stopped when it swerved into a building. Later it was buried in the ruins of the structure. Clothing and furniture were driven in every direction. A few telephone poles just outside the storm area collected material like a magnet. The entire east wall of the handsome home of M. Glammerstad, cashier of the First National bank, was sliced off, exposing the living room, dining room and bedroom furniture and the bathroom. The occupants escaped injury from flying debris by falling on the floor. From some other home a coal scuttle came flying into the parlor and dropped on top of the plano. Mr. Glammerstad's automobile, standing in the yard, was hurled a block down the street and wrecked. A large tree standing two feet from a pump was snapped off near the ground and then torn to pieces, while the pump was unharmed. Clothes from the closets were picked up by the gale and exchanged for sticks of wood and picture frames from the neighbors' homes. Fritz Surely Picked Out a Good Old Irish Name HICAGO.—To wear a German monaker these days is not likely to help business. That's why a newsie named Fritz Schultze changed his to Larry Mulligan. He declared that Schultze was a hoodoo to him, so he decided to says I might as well make a regular job out of it and take a good name while I'm about it. "One of them says I ought to call myself Jack Dalton or Hal Chase, or something with a punch in it. Well, I figures that it's the good old Irish name that gets a bloke furthest in this newsboy game, so I took the Irishest name I could think of. I considered Clancy and Murphy and McGowan, but I figured the name with a punch was Mulligan. And when you introduce the name of Mulligan with Larry—oh, boy! "Yer see, I was all out of luck with the Fritz Schultze stuff taggin' around after me. I was doin' business dewntown until my associates gave me the gate. Guess they thought I was a Boche or something like that. Anyway, I decided to change my name and locality and here I am uptown to start a new life." "Larry Mulligan" is a typical West side boy of sixteen. He was born in that section and so was his father. Don't Mention Holdup Men to Officer Blackwell BROOKLYN.—Policeman George Blackwell, sauntering along Flatbush avenue, beheld a crowd running and heard such shouts as: "They're holdup men!" "One's got a gun and the other a knife." Policeman Blackwell, being "Well," soliloquized the officer, "duty is duty." So, unlimbering his gun, the officer crawled through. Shivering and quaking in a far corner of the cellar were the fugitives, the holdup men, Emanuel Enos, eleven, of 515 Clinton street; Ray Cadarr, eleven, of Forty-second street, and Henry Coyle, eleven, of 354 Smith street. After the cars began to run again on Flatbush avenue the policeman learned that with the aid of a potato knife and a cap pistol the three boys had held up Henry Engvaldsen, nine, of 218 East Forty-second street, on Church avenue, near Forttith street, and taken a quarter from him. Then, re-enforced by friends, the victim of the hold-up chased them all the way to the hole into which the boys ran like cotton-tails pursued by houn' dogs. Justice Wilkin, successfully maintaining his gravity, heard the story in the children's court and paroled the "holdup men" for sentence. S'T.

Dominick is fifteen, and his age and his long legs, that lift him just 6 feet 8 inches above the ground, have got him into trouble. Dominick lives at 467 Harman street with his parents and three small sisters. For a long time he has felt out of place everywhere. His legs were so elongated that he had to fold them over the top of the desk in school, where he was the butt of ridicule by older and smaller boys.

The Pranks of Halloween and the severe mental strain brought on were forced time and again to stop as ces of the storm. The sight of chickens running around without feathers was common. Rats and mice left their hiding places. One went through a small blaze and was singed through to the skin. Trees in the devastated area were stripped of branches two or three inches in diameter. The trees that were not uprooted became Christmas trees. With more than 50 automobiles blown in here and there, tires, hoods, seats, robes, wheels and even steering gears flew high and landed in the branches.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Have you sent any books, papers or magazines to our boys "Over There" or in the Training Camps to read? Why of course, let's whip Germany to a finish. The colored boys will do it if they are allowed, even if the news of their valor is suppressed through familiar reasons. The benevolent white people of Arkansas are making much ado because the wives of Negro soldiers will not hire out to pick cotton. This makes us ask, are all the Arkansas soldiers' wives of African descent? The white press writers may as well be told now that we do not relish those Uncle Rastus dialect stories that are sandwiched into war news about Negro soldiers. The services The operating room of the City Hospital physicians, internes and nurses during the pa being rendered by these men are too unselfish and dignified to be made into almanac jokes. The Sun especially calls the attention of its readers to the advertisement of Dr. Theo. Smith, found on another page of this paper, and unhesitatingly commends the articles contained therein to its thousands of readers. Dr. Smith's name stands as a synonym for square dealing and courteous treatment and the wonderful business he has built up in this city amply at tests that fact. The Negro contingent engaged in putting over the local quota of the Fourth Liberty Loan worked hard but not hard enough to win a word of commendation from the newspapers or the general committee. A few "Ole Brudder" jokes were edged into the notes published but no expression of appreciation was seen or heard concerning the sacrifices of the men and women who worked night and day doing their bit for the patriotic cause in which we always take the lead. The Negro who now through the scarcity of labor is able to hold a good job should improve the opportunity, save his money and buy a home. This is not going to last. When the war is over and the white men return home the jobs will be given back to them and the present employees will be out upon the bricks. Be sure of that. The broken and maimed Negro soldiers will also be out there with you and the condition will thus be doubly serious. That will be only one of the features of our "world democracy." The Sun is in receipt of a copy of the 22d Annual Report of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Dr. R. H. Boyd, secretary, which is as clean, interesting and illuminating as any piece of literature issued this year. It not only gives a resume of the organization, management and work of the Publishing Department, but gives a very interesting and comprehensive report of the great Sunday School Congresshel d in June at Alexandria, La. Every Baptist in America, and for that matter every citizen should send for a copy of this most excellent report. A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE YOU That you needn't worry any longer for a Music Teacher.

Asks for Munition Workers. Necessity for a readjustment of Missouri's labor quota for government war industries, as a result of the Perth Amboy muntition plant disaster, was announced in telegrams received from Washington by the Missouri Council of Defense. Nathan A. Smyth sent the following telegram to the Missouri division: "America's biggest shell-loading plant is gone. There are other plants in operation; still others under construction. Work is seriously retarded by lack of labor. The Ordnance Department states immediate labor shortage existing in muntition plants of 139,000 unskilled laborers. Send us men." Union Electric Gets Increase. The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved the schedule of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. of St. Louis for increased rates for elevator and motor power. While the schedule of the light company indicates additional revenue of $1,700 monthly, Chief Engineer J. L. Harrop of the Public Service Commission estimates that the increase will amount to $100,000 new revenue annually. Prison labor will fix the rough spots of the Lemay Ferry and Telegraph roads between the southern limits of St. Louis and Jefferson Barracks, as 35 prisoners from the State Penitentiary at Jefferson City have been put to work. The distance to be reconstructed is two and three-fourths miles. The cost is estimated at $78,000, of which the county will pay one-half and the State the other half. William Elbring, surveyor of St. Louis County, who will have charge of the work, says it will be completed in 90 days. [Name] MRS.

The Appeal of Khaki By JANE OSBORN (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) "I shall shriek—I certainly shall shriek if I come to another khaki hero." H. B. Shanley mumbled this rather to herself than aloud as she sat before her high piled desk in the editorial offices of "The Purple Book; all-story, five-cent weekly." H. P. Truman, the remainder of the editorial staff, laid a gentle hand on his bald head and looked over his shell-rimmed spectacles at his colleague on the other side of the room. He looked just in time to see Miss Shanley dash off her own shell-rimmed spectacles, lean supinely back in her swivel chair and at the same time emit a stifed vell. "There, I said I'd do it, and I did. The very next manuscript I turned to began right in the first paragraph with 'Her head dropped on his khaki shoulder. Goodby, she whispered and pushed him away,' and then at the end: 'If I thought you were there waiting for me I could fight a thousand Huns.' They are all like that. If the hero isn't in khaki he is in sailor blue and half the roaines are nurses." "Was that what made you make that funny little shrieky noise?" asked Mr. Trump, obviously relieved. "Certainly, why shouldn't I? Every blessed story that comes in is the same. How I am going to get enough possible stories for you to make up the magazine out of here I am sure I don't know. They are all alike. The contribls have lost their balance. They think that all they have to do is bring in a little trench slang, a lot of mush and twaddle about broad khaki shoulders, clinking spurs and that sort of thing and their story is sold." Mr. Truman suggested that possibly the readers of the Purple Book liked clinking spurs and khaki shoulders; there were a good many men in the camps who read the magazine and they should be catered to. "To be sure," agreed Miss Shanley, slitting the next large envelope that lay before her and unfolding the manuscript mechanically. "But I've found it out. There are only about seven days a soldier can fall in love, and we've used each one of those plots at least five times over. It's monotonous. There is the man who doesn't know he loves the plain little girl at home till he gets away in the trenches, and there is the girl who doesn't know she loves the awkward, frank-eyed, broad-shouldered hero till he gets away. Then there is the girl who wants to be a suffragette or something and won't marry the man till he's gone and then she gets an idea that she ought to 'keep the fire burning' and she sends for him or something and—" "Yes, I know," said Truman, who was rather bored than otherwise at his assistant's analyzing tendencies. There were times when she was delightful, really too delightful for his own peace of mind. But in this mood she was trying. "Well, please don't shriek about it next time—you gave me quite a scare. I thought you were having a fit or something." "I told you I was going to," argued Miss Shanley. "I thought you were jesting. Suppose instead of doing that you whistle joyously when you come to a hero out of khaki? Really I quite agree with you that we do need some really gripping stories of a nonmilitary nature." Then Mr. Truman went back to his editorial work, and gradually there began to creep over him a pleasurable consciousness. He had had an undercurrent of conviction that his colleague disapproved of him because he had not enlisted; he had feared that it would be necessary as a means of winning her permanent esteem for him to don the khaki or sailor blue. But apparently he had been mistaken. She could not have spoken as she had about broad khaki shoulders if she had admired them as much as most young women were reputed to do. Suddenly Mr. Truman started in his chair so violently that his spectacles fell off from his nose. Miss Shanley had emitted a whistle so piercing and sharp that it had violently agitated his delicately strung nervous organism. "That," she announced, "was to let you know I'd found the gripping story you were wishing for. It's a thriller and the hero is an Argentine cowboy, and there isn't one reference to war. I'm going to accept it without waiting for you to read it, I'm so sure it is what you are looking for." "You might tell the young woman that wrote it that we appreciate not having the hero in khaki and would like more in the same vein," smiled Mr. Truman as Miss Shanley halted the diminutive stenographer from the next room so that she might at once write her letter of acceptance. "It isn't a young woman—it's one Patrick Henry Madison." "You never can tell," commented the superior editor. "That's just the sort of name a girl writer would choose. The letter notifying "Patrick Henry Madison" of the acceptance of his story and the announcement that he would receive his check "on date of publication" was brief but encouraging. It was signed H. B. Shanley, and left little suspicion in its abrupt businesslike wording that H. stood for Helen and B. for Beatrice. Perhaps Patrick Henry Madison had seldom received editorial letters so encouraging, perhaps he read between the lines—at all events he wrote a letter of considerable length sending in his next nonmilitary story—the hero this time was a South Sea island planter, without a suspicion of khaki—and of so friendly a character that H. B. Shanley was constrained to write an equally friendly letter in reply. Again that editor congratulated him on his rare discernment in keeping his heroes out of the war game. "Unless you can tell your story like a genius and have an entirely new twist, any war story now would be deadwood. They have all been written except the really great ones." The correspondence continued for several months and the stories appeared at close intervals. Then "Patrick Henry" asked permission to meet H. B. Shanley and the interview was carefully arranged to take place in the Purple Book editorial office on the afternoon in the week when Mr. Truman played golf. He had quite set himself at ease on the matter of enlisting now, so sure was he of Helen's attitude on that score, and it was only because he had not definitely decided whether when he did ask this colleague of his to become Mrs. Truman he should stipulate that she should continue her post in the office—he dreaded the presence of anyone else—or whether he should arrange to have her do the housekeeping in some conveniently arranged little flat, that he had not as yet taken her into his full confidence as to his intentions. He was planning to settle this question for himself that afternoon on the golf course. Perhaps the next day he would make his declaration. But the next day he was in no hurry. Helen was in a wonderfully joyous mood and this seemed decidedly auspicious. It would be time enough at five o'clock to ask her. "Patrick Henry turned out to be of the feminine gender, I dare say?" he asked, as he glanced over proofs on his desk of that writer's latest contribution. "Miss nothing," laughed Helen, "and the funny thing was he—" "So it was a man after all?" Mr. Truman felt an irritation that he could not account for. "It was so funny. He is really perfectly wonderful. I hadn't told you, but we had got very well acquainted with each other through the letters we have written. I knew I liked him, but I imagined he was going to be some quiet, studious little man of about your build." "Well?" Mr. Truman was distinctly irritated at that remark. "Well, he wasn't at all. You see he had discovered in the third letter that I wasn't a man, and—well. I don't know how it happened, but we got awfully fond of each other, and—well, he asked me to marry him, and I said I couldn't say yes till I'd seen him. And he said there was something about him that I might dislike very much. He thought I would, he said, from something I said in one of my first letters. You see I told him I was glad his heroes didn't have broad shoulders, or something like that, and—well, you see he has, and he turned out to be Capt. Patrick Henry Madison. Isn't that wonderful? I explained, of course, that what I said about stories had nothing to do w'th the way I felt as a girl. So I just said 'yes' right away, and I thought I'd tell you first because you and I have always been such good chums, and—Patrick and I will be married in a week or so. I thought you ought to have time to find some one else to fill this chair." Mr. Truman was signing letters with an air of considerable preoccupation. He gently stroked his bald patch and straightened his blue serge shoulders. "It's very funny that a man in the service would be content to leave all patriotic flavor out of his stories. I should think he would be so enthusiastic he would want to." Mr. Truman had definitely decided he wouldn't like Captain Patrick. "Oh, he's enthusiastic, all right, and he's going to write one big thrilling war story. He's just been waiting till he could write a really great one. You'll take it, won't you, Mr. Truman?" "Yes—unless I'm not here either. You see, I've been thinking of getting into the war myself. There is a mighty strong appeal about khaki and all that sort of thing," and the associate editor assured him that there was. Why Buttoned Shoes Have Passed. Every woman with her eyes open must have noticed that button shoes are little worn, and no doubt the fact that lace shoes are as a general thing neater and trimmer and more easily kept in condition has a good deal to do with this. The fact that button shoes use more leather than lace shoes is the big reason behind their disappearance from fashion, say those who know. It does seem a very little leather to save, doesn't it? But then this is the day when we appreciate the importance of very small things; the saving of a slice of bread a day, a lump of sugar or a half pound of meat—trifles that we are assured amount to enormous proportions in the aggregate. Gas Meters and Guitars. The gas meters of the houses in New York city are now recorded by camera, which yields a permanent record of each of the regular readings.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1918 Vegetables Save Staple Foods Use Products of the Garden and Orchard in Place of Wheat, Meat, Fats and Sugar. "What am I doing to feed the world?" This question is being asked and answered by every true American. Some have the privilege and responsibility of producing food from the fields or the home garden, while others have the less picturesque but no less responsible part of standing guard over this food supply, to see that every ounce possible of the wheat, meat, fats and sugar needed by our soldiers and allies is saved for their use. There are many substitutes for these things, but "there is no substitute for freedom." One way to save important staple foods, according to the United States department of agriculture, is to use fresh fruits and vegetables in as large quantities as possible while they are abundant. Potatoes may be used to 37 Saving Vegetables by the Drying Process. A Simple Homemade Dryer in Use. save cereals, and shelled green beans and peas to save meat. All ripe fruits contain sugar, so that melons and other fruits may be used for "desserts" or a fruit salad may replace this course entirely. Vegetables are savers or conservers of other staple foods, and also have their own particular part to play in the diet which neither meats nor cereals nor sweets can play. Besides being appetizers and furnishing fuel, protein and mineral matter to the body, they supply other important substances of which we know but little as yet, but which play an important part in promoting growth in the young and bodily wellbeing for everyone. All kinds of vegetables should be used. They are at their best when fresh, and may be prepared in a variety of ways. TO SAVE FUEL IN HOT AIR FURNACE Rules Given Out by U. S. Fuel Administrator for Illinois. Joseph Harrington, United States fuel administrator for Illinois, has issued the following rules for handling hot-air furnaces, steam and hot water plants in the interest of fuel economy: 1. Check draft in stovepipe near the turn damper, as this controls largely the rate at which the fire burns, depending not at all upon the opening and closing of the coaling door. 2. The turn damper should fit loosely within the pipe, same to be kept partly closed in all mild periods—opened wide in the cold. 3. Use slide damper in coaling door only for elimination of gases from soft or bituminous coal after the addition of fresh fuel. 4. Turn extra air into pipe for checking of general draft, same furnishing necessary oxygen for the consumption of gases. Open only draft in ashtir door for more rapid burning. 5. Heat pipes in cellar thoroughly wrapped to prevent loss by radiation. 6. With grates flat a short, quick stroke of shaker for sifting of ashes, with glow only to be shown in most severe weather. 7. Avoid poking of fire bed to save the causing of draft holes. 8. Additional coal to low fire before shaking. 9. Storm windows and storm doors for economy. 10. Temperature generally at 68 degrees or less, except for invalids or children. Unoccupied rooms cooler with use of thermometers recommended. 11. Wasteful to allow unusual drop of temperature at night. 12. Bedrooms should carry lower temperatures than ones used for general living. 13. Two pans or jars of water at registers or radiators for moisture in home. 14. Study system for your home, fuel economy serving to warm the shivering boys in France. What It Costs Uncle Sam to Draft Men Into Army Figures compiled from the records of the last draft show that it cost the government almost exactly $5 for each man drafted. All but seven cents of this amount represents the expense of the draft boards. In comparison with this it is interesting to learn that the volunteer system of recruiting cost $24.48 per man in 1914; $19.14 in 1915, and $28.95 between July, 1916, and April, 1917. These latter figures, however, included the recruit's traveling expenses and the cost of his subsistence prior to acceptance. Highest Radio Aerial.

It is not greater than they have previously been receiving and does not exceed $2,100, even though they have been earning more than that. There is an allowance of $75 for their own expenses and an additional allowance for their families depending on their previous pay, but not exceeding $100 a month. Searchlight Penetrates Fog. Great fog penetrating power is claimed for a searchlight that has been invented in France with a greenish yellow glass in front and backed by a reflector that also prevents moisture collecting on the glass. Stellite, Metal That Will Not Rust—Hardness and Other Qualities of Steel Everybody knows that metals undergo changes through the influence of oxygen and moisture from the air—these two bodies being always ready for chemical business. Therefore, as everybody also knows, steel knives and other familiar utensils require continual cleaning because they rust so easily. Steel is even more susceptible to rust than iron. The chemists' problem in this case has been to make a metal which is permanent and will not rust, having, at the same time, the hardness and other qualities of steel. That is, a metal as "noble" or permanent as gold and as hard and strong as steel. Elwood Haynes, a member of the American Chemical society, relates in Metallurgical and Chemical Engineering of a long series of experiments which he made during a period of many years, especially in alloys of cobalt, chromium, tungsten and molybdenum. He finally succeeded in making some of these metals so hard that they can scratch any steel in existence. He has given the name stellite to the series. Stellite may be indefinitely heated without showing oxidation, except for the fact that the surface takes on a permanent blue color. Lathe tools, milling cutters, saws, drawing dies, boring tools, drills, etc., have been made from stellite as well as surgical and dental instruments which have been placed on the market. Table-spoons and small spoons of stellite have been in use for six years and they may last, it appears, for a thousand years more without tarnishing. Age is another opportunity no less Than youth itself, though in another dress; And as the twilight fades away The sky is filled with stars invisible by day. What to Eat. If a cupful or more of noodles are left from dinner save them and in a day or two prepare Ham and Noodles. Butter an earthen dish, put into the bottom a layer of cold boiled noodles, add a layer of cold boiled ham, cut in bits, then another layer of noodles and so on until the dish is full. Beat an egg with one cupful of milk and pour into the dish. Cover with crumbs, dot with butter and bake in a moderate oven. Deviled Chicken. Make a sauce of salt, pepper, dry mustard, paprika, grated lemon peel, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and a few drops of tabasco sauce. Add a tablespoonful of batter and cook all together. When the sauce bolls add cubes of cooked chicken; serve when well cooked. Oysters a la Creole. Chop fine one clove of garlic, a green pepper and a small onion. Season with salt and paprika and cook in two tablespoonfuls of butter. Add a cupful of tomatoes and a cupful of parboiled oysters. Serve very hot on toast, or cover with buttered crumbs and bake. Clam Cutlets. Take a quart of clams, chopped fine and a cupful of dried breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper, a teaspoonful of tomato catsup and a teaspoonful of minced parsley. Bind with raw egg or with a very little cream sauce. Shape into cutlets, dip in egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Deviled Crabs. Take one can of minced crab meat, add the yolks of two hard cooked eggs, mashed fine, a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, salt and paprika, the juice of half a lemon, a teaspoonful of dry mustard, and a few drops of tabasco sauce. Add enough dried breadcrumbs to make a paste. Fill crab shells with the mixture, cover brown. Ramekins may be used if the shells are not at hand. Panned Oysters Cover the bottom of a baking dish with oysters and with enough of the liquor to steam them well. Cover tightly and bake from five to ten minutes in a hot oven. Serve on buttered toast and pour the hot juice over the toast. Sour Cream Pie. Take one cupful each of sour cream, raisins, and honey, one egg, a table- spoonful of vinegar, a half teaspoon- ful each of salt, cinnamon, and nut- meg, with a fourth of a teaspoonful of cloves. Bake in two crusts. Nellie Maxwell They Run on Peat A Norway firm is advertising engines that can be operated with peat gas instead of benzine or gasoline. The alterations have been made in accordance with a Danish invention, which makes it possible to use this fuel. It is claimed several thousand engines are being used in Denmark successfully. The new system is stated to consume from one to two kilos of peat, 2.2 to 4.4 pounds per horse power, according to the quality of the peat. Re-enter Treadgold By DOROTHY DOUGLAS (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) It was the trailing melancholy of her voice that first stirred Treadgold's lethargic pulse into action. Later he had a too fleeting glimpse of a pale oval face framed in tawny gold as Lida gazed wistfully from the rose-hung gate that opened into her cottage garden. Treadgold was annoyed with himself that the quality of the girl's voice had twined itself among his senses and indignant at womenkind in general merely because Lida's eyes had stabbed his heart with a silent appeal. Ever since the day he had donned the khaki uniform and become a soldier to fight for his country Treadgold had eschewed anything even bordering on the feminine. He had shunned that thrill, fascinating, heady world of the gentle sex as if it had the plague running wild within its borders. War was a thing apart—a business that must be sternly followed. There must be no counter-magnet luring the senses from the austere purposes of the fighting man. During his six months at training camp his brain had been far too busy for the most part in trying master the contents of some twenty or more textbooks, as well as drills, field practice and a few more oddments of learning, to find much time for missing the feminine part of life. A few more months at camp, where he and many of the field artillery men had been sent to officer the troops, quite rounded off Treadgold's ability to live happily and usefully without the love of woman. In weaker moments, perhaps under the influence of a glorious moon or the trickle of woodland stream, remembrance of dainty, smiling lips, a swift caress or the fragrance of rumped tresses came to disturb Treadgold's war-filled brain. These had been fleeting, easily banished dreams. "Ancient past!" the fighting man would mutter grimly. But in the case of Lida's blue-eyed, wistful face Treadgold found himself up against a power stronger than himself. Unless he took a frightfully circuitous route, his billet led him straight past the cottage, with Lida either in it singing with melancholy sweetness, or gazing appealingly from the garden gate straight into the eyes of the passer-by. Treadgold was annoyed when he saw her and upset for the day when he didn't see her. He felt that the girl was aware of his presence on the path, whether he passed or didn't pass. This feeling, too, irritated him. He decided, however—and with the decision his jaw clinked—that he would fight this unknown girl's influence, and as successfully as he had fought the lure of all his feminine world when he had first entered the army. Soon France would see him an actual fighter on the battlefield. "And if I remain on that battlefield when the fight is done," philosophised Treadgold, "there will be less regret, and if I come out whole, then a straight path to something nifty, and not masculine, for me." "In fact," he decided, "something just about the type of Little Sad Eyes there will be my finish." So he fought the magnet and conquered. Had Treadgold been another type of man he could have managed to meet the girl who had stirred his pulses, could have loved and sailed away. But he was not that kind of man. Love to Treadgold was a wonderful thing. He could the less happily kill the Boche and destroy mankind greedily were he to be reminded constantly that he had left a wife behind. He knew that ever behind the sword thrust of battle he would sense the humanity side of the question, would realize before killing the man that he was also killing the woman whom that man had left behind—killing her happiness at least. Besides, Treadgold knew that should he marry a girl like Little Sad Eyes he would be consumed with longing for her every moment that held him from her side. He had not the strength to fight both the enemy and his own emotions. So when the great ship stole out under cover of darkness from the New York wharf and sailed out toward France Treadgold found himself rejoicing that he was not bringing the tragedy of separation into some one's life. When the battle raged for him he was still more glad for a nasty bit of shell caught him pretty squarely in the temple. Treadgold re-entered the world of feminity on a stretcher. In other words, he was carried tenderly if unconsolently into the hospital, where the gentle, shunned sex took him into its wonderful care. It was many weeks before Treadgold knew that he had re-entered the world where femininity played a vital part for consciousness was long in returning to him. His first waking glimpse was however a most delightful one. Sitting by his bedside was a charming nurse who started immediately to do the hundred and one comforting, soothing, wonderful things about a bedside that only a woman can do. Treadgold fancied he smiled, but his brain was not sufficiently brisk to be certain of anything. His progress was more rapid after that first glimpse and he realized that a world with women in it was a good place to get back to. His nurse's hands were slim and caressing and her hair waved softly about her smooth brown. Treadgold wondered if he would eventually find himself in love with her. He was, in fact, drifting in that direction when, during a dull afternoon in the hospital, he heard the trailing melancholy of a voice. Instantly Treadgold knew that it was the same voice augmented in sweetness and timber that had quickened his lethargic pulse—far back in America. For America seemed frightfully distant to Treadgold after the smoke and fire of battle and the long lapse from consciousness. He looked eagerly at his nurse. "Whose voice is that I hear?" he asked her. The nurse smiled at his excitement, scented a romance and told him all she knew. "Her name is Lida McVicker, and she is the niece of our staff surgeon. She was pining away by inches, it seems, in America because she couldn't do anything when all her brave countrymen were going off to fight." "But how did she ever get over here?" burst out Treadgold, "from a cottage with roses—" The nurse smiled again. "The organizer of a concert party heard her singing and thought her voice held the appeal that our wounded boys would appreciate and—here it is. She sings every afternoon and evening and any other time when her voice is needed. She's happy now—happy as a lark. It's wonderful what doing a little good to others does for oneself," added the nurse. Treadgold then made a headlong, steady dash right into the heart of a world of femininity. He demanded to see Lida McVicker then and there. When she stood beside him and looked with those wistful eyes straight into his face a deep, happy flush mounted her cheeks and Treadgold knew that recognition was there. Apparently she had not gazed unseeingly nor unfeelingly at him when he had daily passed her cottage gate. "Little Sad Eyes," was what she thought he said by way of greeting, but she was never quite sure about it. There was so much unexpected emotion expressed in the wonderful meeting that words didn't really count. Treadgold had always known that love would completely swamp him when it came, and he told Lida so before many moons had passed over that region of the world. HIS QUALIFICATIONS FOR BAR Philadelphia Man Allowed to Practice Law Because He Could Make Excellent Chicken Salad. There has been a radical change in the method of examining students for admission to the bar in Philadelphia from the practice of a generation or two ago. Recently the state examiners held an examination, and the students found that considerable knowledge of both the theory and practice of the law was essential. This, in theory, might always have been the case, but in practice the examination was less thorough in the old days. There is a story of Edward D. Ingraham, one of the leaders of the Philadelphia bar sixty years ago, who was an examiner as well as a noted wilt. Indeed, his capacity for jokes was almost as great as his capacity as a lawyer and as a speaker. In those days there were not enough students to hold a formal examination, and the appearance, manner and character of the student himself had a great deal to do with passing him for admission. On one occasion a young man, the son of a wealthy Philadelphiaian and known as a good liver and more or less a man about town, appeared before the lawyer, who was acting as one of the examiners. Mr. Ingraham knew perfectly well that the applicant had no intention of practicing law. He merely desired to acquire a profession in a graceful, easy manner. Consequently, Ingraham asked him only one question. "Mr. G.," he said, after the applicant had been shivering in apprehension of the result, "how do you make chicken salad?" Not realizing the purport of the question, Mr. G. answered naturally and with superior knowledge on the subject. "Perfectly satisfactory," said Mr. Ingraham, "I will sign your certificate with great pleasure." But one can not pass so easily in these times, or every cook could become a member of the bar. Wasted. "Iis no passeront pas," cried we at a cabbage worm yesterday, more than anything else just by way of training for our coming exploits on the western front, unfortunately, however, hesitating so much over the phrase and the pronunciation that the enemy, taking full advantage of the unexpected respite, camoufaged himself and disappeared with a chuckle as completely as if the earth had swallowed him up.—Ohio State Journal. Alds in Picking Fowls. Picking fowls by hand is a tiresome, troublesome job, but it is no longer necessary. A feather-picking machine is on the market which is quick and cheap and will not injure the fowls. Moreover, the feathers are kept dry and clean, and where ducks and geese are to be plucked, the machine will soon pay for itself. Reclaimed Land to be Soldiers' Heritage O MAKE part of the farm wealth of the nation an assured heritage of the men who fight the nation's war against Germany is the plan of Secretary Lane, who urges a vast reclamation scheme to meet the requirements for returning soldiers after the war. T It is Secretary Lane's belief that the time has come when thought should be given to the preparation of plans for providing opportunity for these men. And because his department has handled similar problems in the past, he has made it his duty to bring the matter to the attention of the president and congress. He points out that every country has found itself face to face with this problem at the close of a great war. From Rome under Caesar to France under Napoleon down even to our own Civil war, the problem arose as to what could be done with the soldiers mustered out of military service. At the close of the Civil war America faced a somewhat similar situation. But fortunately at that time the public domain offered opportunity to the home-returning soldiers. The great part the veterans of that war played in developing the West is one of our epics. The homestead law had been signed by President Lincoln in the second year of the war, so that out of our wealth in lands we had farms to offer the military veterans. It was also the era of transcontinental railway construction. It was likewise the period of rapid, yet broad and full, development of towns and communities and states. To the great number of returning soldiers in the present war land will undoubtedly offer the great and fundamental opportunity. The experience of wars points out the lesson that our service men, because of army life, with its openness and activity, will largely seek out of doors vocations and occupations. This fact is accepted by the allied European nations. That is why their programs and policies of relocating and readjustment emphasize the opportunities on the land for the returning soldier. The question then is, "What land can be made available for farm homes for our soldiers?" We have not the bountiful public domains of the sixties and seventies. In a literal sense, for the use of it on a generous scale for soldier farm homes as in the sixties, the public domain is gone. The official figures at the end of the fiscal year, June 10, 1917, show that we have unappropriated land in the continental United States to the amount of 230,657,755 acres. It is safe to say that not one-half of this land will ever prove to be cultivable in any sense. So we have no land in any way comparable to that in the public domain when Appomattox came—and men turned Westward with army rifle and roll blanket—to begin life anew. While we do not have that matchless public domain of '65, we do have millions of acres of undeveloped lands in the Northwest, lake states and South, and also swamp lands in the middle West and South, which can be made available through the proper development. Much of this land can be made suitable for farm homes if properly handled. But it will require that each type of land be dealt with in its own particular fashion. The arid lands will require water, the cut-over land will require clearing and the swamp land must be drained. Without any of these aids they remain largely No Man's Land. The solution of these problems is no new thing. In the admirable achievement of the reclamation service in reclamation and drainage we have abundant proof of what can be done. Looking toward the construction of additional projects, Secretary Lane announces that plans and investigations have been under way for some time. A survey and study has been in the course of consummation by the reclamation service on the great Colorado basin. That project, undoubtedly, will appeal to the new spirit of America. It would mean the conquest of an empire in the Southwest. It is believed that more than 3,000,000 acres of arid land could be reclaimed by the completion of the upper and lower Colorado basin projects. It has been officially estimated that more than 15,000,000 acres of irrigable land now remain in the government's hands. This is the great remaining storehouse of government land for reclamation. Under what policy and program millions of these acres could be reclaimed for future farms and homes remains for legislation to determine The amount of swamp and cut-over lands in the United States available for farming is extensive. Just how much there is has never been determined with any degree of accuracy. Practically all of it has passed into private ownership. For that reason, in considering its use, it would be necessary to work out a policy between the private owners and the government unless the land was purchased. It has been estimated that the total area of swamp and overflowed lands in the United States is between 70,000,000 and 80,000,000 acres. Of this amount, about 60,000,000 THE POTATOES RECLAIMED LAND IN COLORADO BASIN WHERE GOVERNMENT PLANS EARTHS FOR SOLDIERS acres can be reclaimed and made profitable for agriculture. The undeveloped swamp lands lie chiefly in Florida, in the states along the Atlantic and gulf coasts, in the Mississippi delta and in Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and California. What amount of land in its natural state unfit for farm homes can be made suitable for cultivation by drainage only thorough surveys and studies will develop. It is known, however, that authentic figures show more than 15,000,000 acres have been reclaimed for profitable farms, most of which lies in the Mississippi river valley. The amount of cut-over lands in the United States, of course, it is impossible even in approximation to estimate. These lands, however, lie largely in the south Atlantic and gulf states, lake states and the Northwestern states. A rough estimate of their number is about 200,000,000 acres—that is, of land suitable for agricultural development. Substantially all of this cutover or logged-off land is in private ownership. The failure of this land to be developed is largely due to inadequate method of approach. Unless a new policy of development is worked out in cooperation between the federal government, the states and the individual owners a greater part of it will remain unsettled and uncultivated. The undeveloped cut-over lands lie chiefly in the Pacific Northwest (particularly in Washington and Oregon), in the lake states (Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin), and in the south Atlantic and gulf costal states (Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas). Any plan for the development of land for the returning soldier will come face to face with the fact that a new policy will have to meet the new conditions. The era of free or cheap land in the United States has passed. We must meet the new conditions of developing lands in advance—security must, to a degree, displace speculation. There are certain tendencies which must be faced frankly in our consideration of a policy for land to the home-coming soldier. First, the drift to farm tendency. The experience of the world shows without question that the happiest people, the best farms and the soundest political condition are found where the farmer owns the home and the farm lands. The growth of this tendency in America shows an increase of 32 per cent for the 20 years between 1890 and 1910. Second, the drift to urban life. In 1880 of the total population of the United States, 29.5 per cent of our people resided in cities and 70.5 per cent in the country. At the census of 1910, 46.3 per cent resided in cities and 53.7 per cent remained in the country. It is evident that since the war in Europe there has been a decided increase in the trend toward the city because of industrial conditions. The adoption by the United States of new policies in its land development plans for returning veterans will also contribute to the amelioration of these two dangers of American life. A plan of land development whereby land is developed in large areas, subdivided into individual farms, then sold to actual, bonafide farmers on a long-time payment basis, has been in force not only in the United States under the reclamation act but also in many other countries for several years. It has proved a complete success. In Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand and the Australian cornea wealth it has completely THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY.

One of the features of this plan is that holders are aided in improving and cultivating the farm. In a word, there is organized community development. Its beneficial results have been well described by the Canadian commission which was appointed to investigate its results in New Zealand. There, the commission reported, the farmers had built better houses or remodeled their old ones, brought a larger acreage of land under cultivation that would otherwise have remained lying idle; had bought and urged more labor-saving machinery on the farms and in the houses. They kept more sheep and pigs and had so largely increased the revenue from their farms that they were able to meet the payments on the mortgages and to adopt a higher standard of living and a better one. Throughout the country a higher and better civilization was being evolved; the young men and women who were growing up were happy and contented to remain at home on the farm and found ample time and opportunity for recreation and entertainment of a kind more wholesome and elevating than can be obtained in the cities. It may be said that this country, outside of Alaska, has no frontier today. Of course, Alaska will still offer opportunity for pioneer life. And, of course, Alaska likewise has yet unknown remarkable agricultural possibilities, but unless we make possible the development of this land by the men who desire a life in that field we will lose a great national opportunity. Furthermore, this is an immediate duty. It will be too late for these things when the war is over, and the work of definite planning should be done now. The plan outlined by Secretary Lane does not contemplate anything like charity to the soldiers. He is not to be given a bounty. He is not to be made to feel that he is a dependent. On the contrary, he is to continue, in a sense, in the service of the government. Instead of destroying our enemies, he is to develop our resources. The work that is to be done, other than the planning, should be done by the soldier himself. The dam or irrigation project should be built by him; the canals, ditches, the breaking of the land, and the building of the houses should, under proper direction, be his occupation. He should be allowed to make his own home, cared for while he is doing it, and given an interest in the land, for which he can pay through a long period of years—perhaps 80 or 40 years. The farms should not be turned over as the prairies were—unbroken, unfenced, without accommodations for men or animals. There should be prepared homes, all of which can be constructed by the men themselves and paid for by them under a system of simple devising by which modern methods of finance will be applied to their needs. THE VOICES OF BULLETS One hundred steps more would have brought me inside of Cantigny. But I was doomed never to enter Cantigny; just then I went into a shell hole. The reasons that made me drop into the shell hole were, I think, two. For one, there was in the crater a wounded boy, a boy shot through the shoulder, together with three hospital corps men who were starting to dress him, and I went in with some vague idea of offering help. But also something was after me by that time. I had not noticed it at first; that is, when finally I became aware of it, it was the knowledge that it had been going on for quite a while. Little "zips" were passing by me; small, short whispers, hardly attaining the volume of sound, and gone almost before they were heard—discrete, quick, little zips like the lightest of pencil strokes—zip, zip, zip, and zip. Now and then, though, just as brief, one reached a higher volume of sound, something like a short cat meow, but more resonant. Pee-a-ooow!—thus—a spiteful cry. Some sharpshooter was after me, some ambushed Boche who did not approve of Collier's Weekly. That is really why I dropped into the shell hole. I think—not so very much to help the three hospital corps men.—James Hopper in Collier's. (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago).

I Sam- uel. DEVOTIONAL READING—Luke 14:26- ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS—Genesis 15:1-6; 18:9-15; 21-1-12. 1. Abraham Tested (vx. 1, 2) 1. Abraham Tested (vv. 1, 2). God does not tempt men to sin (James 1:13), but he subjects them to rigid tests to prove them. In the treatment of Abraham we have a supreme example. God tested Abraham, not Lot. Sodom tested Lot. God tests the man who is proof against the tests of Sodom. God had promised Abraham an heir through whom blessings were to come to the world. For many years his faith was sorely tried in waiting for its fulfillment. At length, his heart rejoiced in the realization of that hope. In the lad in the patriarch's tent were wrapped Abraham's hopes of the future when his seed should be as the stars for multitude. His was no ordinary expectation. The human affections and hopes were, no doubt, included; but a new nation was to spring from him, and Isaac was the sole link making the connection. Then, too, he saw the coming Redeemer, for "Abrham saw my day and was glad" (John 8:56). It is only as we thus see all that Isaac meant to his father and God's purpose for the future of the world, that we really can appreciate the crucial test that came to Abraham. A test in some sense similar comes to many Christian fathers and mothers. God is calling for sons and daughters to be offered on the altar of his service. The test is something terrific, as some who have given up sons and daughters for the mission field can testify. It is only as God is known to be almighty (Genesis 17:1) shall ability be given to give them up. II. Abraham Standing the Test (vv. 2-10). 1. On the way (vv. 3, 4). Abraham promptly obeyed. There was neither hesitancy nor arguing. God had issued the command. At his call Abraham said: "Here am I" (v. 1). He could not say "No" to God. In the ordinary affairs of life we call a man weak who cannot say "No," who has no will of his own; but the man who could not say "No" to God, we count strong. Early in the morning he was on the way to the place of which God had told him. All who really believe in God will yield themselves to him without question, reserve, or shrinking. Anything short of this is not consecration. We should not stop to ask how or why. It is enough to know that God has spoken. 2. "Abide ye here" (v. 5). This testing experience was too sacred for human eyes to gaze upon. How like this the words of Jesus in Gethsemane: "Tarry ye here." Human sympathy is sweet, and is to be prized, but we need to be alone in times of great testing. There are times when human sympathy hinders us from doing our duty. When Abraham said: "We will come down again to you," he spoke sincerely, for he believed that God would give him Isaac back from the dead (Heb. 11:19). 3. Isaac bearing the wood upon which he is to be offered (vv. 6, 7). This reminds us of Christ bearing the cross on the way to Calvary. Isaac must have been now a young man. He did not resist or cry out, but graciously submitted, showing that he is making a willing sacrifice. 4. The angel of the Lord calls (vv. 8-12). At the critical moment when Abraham's hand had lifted the gleaming blade to make real the offering, God interfered. God did not want human sacrifice as a burnt offering, but he wanted Abraham to give up to him his best, the surrender of his will to him. God is always pleased with submissive obedience. "To obey is better than sacrifice." Many times we are face to face with the test of giving up our fondest hopes and purposes, but when we have met the test as Abraham did, we get back our offering or greater things instead. III. God Will Provide Himself a Lamb (vv. 13, 14). Just behind Abraham was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. Him Abraham offered instead of his son. In the words "God will provide himself a lamb (v. 8) we have the whole plan of redemption outlined. God has provided the costly sacrifice of his Son to satisfy himself. He who has no taste for order will be often wrong in his judgment and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions.—Lavater. Value of the Bible. The Bible is to us what the star was to the wise men; but if we spend all our time in gazing upon it, observing its motions, and admiring its splendor and are not led to Christ by it, the use of it will be lost to us—T. Adams. Truths From on High All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more strongly the truths that come from on high and are contained in the sacred writings.—Herschel. 1 The dressier separate skirts are made of supple weaves in silk; their wearers sharing favors among satins, silk poplin and tricolet. Satin, it almost goes without saying, is first in importance—it is used for about all the outer garments of women, from hats to slippers. Tricolet is a novel fabric by comparison, but is approved by the most smartly dressed women, and poplins are tried and familiar to every one. Besides these silks for dressy separate skirts there are novelties in heavier weaves for sport skirts. The sport skirt, in fact, has reached heights of beauty and style far in advance of anything in its animated and remarkable history. Possibly the restraint and reserve that marks wartime designing has operated to the advantage of sport apparel. But the time is coming when a new class, with a new name, will be formed for many of the smart, informal garments that now come labeled for sport wear. A handsome separate skirt, to be worn with a dark or light blouse, presents its new style features in the picture. Of course it has panels to make Suits Piquant and Plain 1 O There are suits—and suits, most of them plain, some of them piquant but none of them fussy. With the supply of fabrics growing precious no costumer ventures to use more than the regulation allotment of cloth, therefore skirts are narrow and straight and coats cut to conform to this shortage of material. But the ingenuity of designers, put to the test, has triumphed and given us a variety of new models in coat suits and frocks that do them great credit. Skirts are a little longer than they have been, since they must be two inches below the shoe tops and shoe tops are not as high as they were. Longer skirts were proclaimed early in the season, but women with a busy winter ahead of them have not been inclined to give up short skirts for street wear. Those in the suits pictured are only two inches below the shoe tops; that is, they are as short as the unwritten law allows. The suit at the left of the picture it eligible to the company of other fashionable clothes—the panel is always among those present in any assemblage of new apparel. There are three of them, one at the front and two, shorter, at either side—all finished with fringe. The shaped girdle, with pointed end, is of the satin and the skirt is noticeably longer than skirts have been for several seasons. This particular skirt is in one of the rich shades of terra cotta—which color is called by several new names this sensor as "mahogany," "rust" and "escarole." The last describes it best. But in any of the fashionable colors, it only needs a blouse of georgette to match it to place a handsome costume at the command of its owner. With lighter blouses one has the advantage of variety and it remains a separate skirt. Gold Brocaded Ribbons. Metal ribbons and ribbon in brilliant colors such as emerald green, cerise and royal blue, richly brocaded in gold and in contrasting colors, are used for girdles on dark colored or black silk dresses. I is in a smooth-surfaced cloth; it might be duvetyn, wool velours or broadcloth, in deep gray with collar and emplacements in the coat of Hudson seal. The coat has a diagonal front, fastening with a very large flat button in gray to the left front. It is extended into points at the front and back. The high muffler collar is convertible—the cuffs very deep, in gauntlet style, and finished with small cloth-covered buttons. In many suits there are combinations of two materials, and this model carries the idea out by uniting cloth and fur. A very simple and practical suit of velours appears at the right, the cont having a skirt portion plaited on to the body. Very narrow tucks across the collar and rather large bone buttons set on to pieces let into the body furnish it with individual touches. Julia Bottomly DR. A. A.
