ONE HUNDRED SIXTY NOBLE WOMEN VOLUNTEERED FOR SERVICE. The Kansas City Sun Team, Led by Miss Willa M. Glenn Carried Off Both Individual and Team Honors, with Miss Cozetta Kingsbury a Close Second. OVER $2,500 REALIZED FOR THE HOSPITAL. All honor to our noble women and thrice honored be that splendid band of courageous and loyal women who braved the most terrific storm of the past 25 years in this city to keep their pledge to Wheatley-Provident Hospital and to make Tag Day a glorious success. Every arrangement had been perfected to make this the greatest Tag Day in the history of the race but no one had dreamed that such awful weather conditions would prevail which coupled with the strike completely destroyed street car traffic. MISS WILLA M. GLENN. for ten years Business Manager of the Kansas City Sun Tag Day team composed of Mrs. Linns, Mrs. Lovey L. Laden, Mrs. Sallie Jackson and he "over the top" with the largest collection of any tag Glenn personally leading all individual solicitors with: $101.19; Mrs. Laden had $27.10; Miss Collins $27.01; M total of $178.00. for ten years Business Manager of the Kansas City Sun who lead the famous Kansas City Sun Tag Day team composed of Miss Alberta S.

Miss Glenn personally leading all individual solicitors with a collection of 101.19; Mrs. Laden had $27.10; Miss Collins $27.01; Mrs. Jackson 22.70; total of $178.00. the inability of the committee to motor cars at any price, made achievement the most remark- the history of this city re- of race. 10 o'clock in the morning calls to come into the headquarters these splendid heroines asking prevances could be sent to get various supplies to all parts of the city. Among those who deserve spec- ment is Mrs. C. L. Davis of 132 Kensington Avenue, who walked more than three miles with her loyal team to do their bit. The largest giver was a Colored man, Thomas Gill, of 6 and Oak streets, who gave $25.00 an dum to the districts assigned them and though the committee tried frantically to get cars, only two could be secured in this great city, that of Dr. J. Edward Perry and a car personally borrowed and driven by Dr. Middleton H. Lambright and much of the credit for our success goes to Dr. Perry's splendid son, E. B. Perry, and Dr. Lambright, who were later in the day assisted by Dr. T. C. Unthank with his car. Many of the ladies unwilling to give up, walked a distance of two or three miles to their destination and in the face of a biting blast that swept the streets like a hurricane won victory and glory for their beloved Institution. Again we say ALL HONOR TO THE NOBLE, HEROIC, PATRIOTIC AND RACE-SERVING WOMEN who "knew their duty and did it like men." Everyone has agreed that if the weather conditions had been such as The Kansas City Sun prevailed on the original date of our tag day, December 21, that there would have been easily collected $10,000.00. Among those who contributed generous and unstinted service in the success of this campaign were: Mr Felix H. Payne, who not only worked out the districts, but visited personally numerous owners of public buildings to secure their consent for our ladies to canvass them and placed his personally driven car at the disposal of the committee in delivering the various supplies to all parts of the city. Among those who deserve special mention is Mrs. C. L. Davis of 1320 Kensington Avenue, who walked more than three miles with her loyal team to do their bit. The largest giver was a Colored man, Thomas Gill, of 6th and Oak streets, who gave $25.00, and Dr. Unthank wants special mention made of Rev. C. C. Calloway, who gave unhesitatingly $5.00 while Miss Viola Robinson desires to be mentioned Mesdames Blanche Hawkins, Maggie Robinson and Rosa Cavens, who gave $1.00 each; Mrs. Nellie E. Young, Mrs. Margaret Crews and Miss Willa M. Glenn each received one or more $10.00 subscriptions, Mrs. Young receiving $10.00 from Phoenix, Ariz., Mrs. Crews $10.00 from Illustrous Potentate Morris of Minneapolis, Minn., Miss Glenn $10.00 from several prominent business men of this city and $5.00 from Mr. Jack Broomfield of Omaha, Neb. The honors for the highest team goes to the Kansas City Sun team, captained by Miss Willa M. Glenn. Miss Glenn also holds the double distinction of having had the largest individual box, her personal collections totaling $101.19, while her team reported $178.00. The next highest was KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1918. Miss Cozetta Kingsberry who alone reported $90.42. The highest collection last year was $40.42, reported by Mrs. M. E. Dougherty with Mrs. Nellie Young a close second with $39.14. Mrs. Young was third this year with a personal collection of $80.58. Special mention should be made of Mrs. Emma Payne, Mrs. Margaret Crews, Miss Viola Robinson, Miss Mary W. Woods, Mrs. W. T. Osborne, Mrs. Robert Marshall, Mrs. Blackwell, Mrs. J. E. Perry, Mrs. T. C. Brown, Miss W. Donohue Miss Catharine Washington and Mrs. R. P. Jackson all of whom reported large individual collections. Once more we say all honor to the splendid women who served regard less of the amounts they turned in and also those who were willing to serve but were unable to reach their assignments. May none of them become discouraged and may we all look forward to making Tag Day of 1919 the greatest ever. Last year there was one check for $5.00, one check for $2.00, two checks for $1.00, one $5.00 bill, forty-two $1.00 bills, sixty silver dollars, 303 half dollars, 2,500 quarters, 1,750 dimes, 12,560 nickels and 6,856 pennies; while this year as an evidence of the increased spirit of giving there were three checks for $10.00 each, three $10.00 bills, eight checks for $2.00 each 348 silver dollars, sixty-six $5.00 bills, 32 paper dollars, $6,010 nickels, 7,032 dimes, 2,100 quarters, 360 half dollars, 4,003 pennies.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Wheatley-Provident Hospital, I wish to thank the one hundred fifty workers who braved the storm and the inconveniences of travel last Tuesday, December 24, in their determination to help our hospital. Every worker deserves the greatest credit and has our deepest gratitude. We wish also to thank the six hundred others who were willing and ready to work and who were prevented by the unusual conditions which arose. We shall plan to get the entire organization of 60 teams and 600 workers in tact with a view of making a large and unhampered drive during the year 1919. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. The Fifty-Sixth Celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation will be held at the Lincoln High School, under the auspices of the Inter-Denominational Ministerial Alliance of greater Kansas City, January 1st, at 3 P. M. 1919. All Civic organizations of Negroes in greater Kansas City are kindly urged to have full fellowship in the occasion and be present in a body, if at all possible. The Alliance considers, as all Negroes surely consider, that we have justifiable grounds, to make this the greatest and most sane and helpful celebration in our history. Therefore, we sincerely urge upon the Negro Citizenship to unite in purpose, sentiment and fellowship and make this an occasion comminsurate to the patriotism and loyalty of the Negro. We are working and very hopeful of crowding the auditorium of the High School building on this occasion. We can, we ought. Shall we do it? We must. The following program has been definitely arranged for the occasion. It is going to be a good one. It is a Symposium on "The Negro; His Use of Freedom" with ten minute speeches.

We shall plan to get the enti A BEAUTIFUL LIFE ENDED. On a typical Christmas day while the Church bells were pealing forth their joyous notes of "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men" and the chimes in a South Side Church tower were softly playing "Abide With Me," the spirit of Miss Cornellia Perry, niece of our renowned physician and surgeon, Dr. J. Edward Perry, peacefully and gently passed into the presence of her maker at 1:05 P. M. Christmas Day. Miss Perry was born in Clarksville, Tex., 22 years ago, her mother dying when she was quite young. She was taken by her aunt to Paris, Tex., where she received her education, working hard to accumulate means by which to educate herself. A few years ago her uncle had her come here from Paris where she had become a school teacher to take the Nurse's Training Course, and she was proving, up to the time of her death, a most competent and efficient nurse. The head nurse, Miss Taylor, speaks of her in the highest terms as an obedient, painstaking studious young woman with a beautiful Christian character and devoted to her work. She was a member of the Second Baptist Church and her pastor, Dr. S. W. Bacote, will officiate at the funeral services which will be held at the Watkins Bros.' Undertaking Parlors today (Saturday) at 10:00 A.M., and burial will be in Highland cemetery. Besides her uncle, Dr. Perry, she leaves another uncle, Robert R. Ridge, in the United States Army, an aunt, Mrs. Omar Phillips, at Clarksville, Texas, and a father at El Paso, Texas. The Sun extends to the bereaved family its deepest sympathy in their hour of bereavement. "Thru all her pain at times she smiled A smile of heavenly birth, And when the angels called her home She smiled—farewell to earth." Lovers of the Silent Art will be more than pleased to know that Love will present three great attractions at the Vine Street Theatre week of December 29th. Sunday, December 29th Frank Walsh in "The Honor System"; Tuesday, December 31st, Madam Petrova, the celebrated Russian Artist, in "A Daughter of Destiny," and on Friday, January 1st, Charlie Chaplin in "Shoulder Arms." Love is making good his announcement to show the highest class of Motion Pictures and despite the Street Car Strike, Influenza Ban and Bad Weather, the crowds are flocking to see the pictures, knowing that Love's Vine Street Theatre is the only place in town Negroes can see them without being "Jim Crowed." Extra fine pictures are shown every night in the week. BUSINESS HUSTLERS That great oaks from little acorns grow is being amply demonstrated by those aggressive young business men, William Abernathy and V. D. Bond, located at 2407½ Vine street. Mr. Abernathy began with a small shoe shining stand, which he has developed into one of the best and neatest Shining Parlors in the city to which he has added a news stand which carries all the leading Negro newspapers, the dailies and the latest current magazines and periodicals as well as cigars, choice candies, strings, polishes and supplies. Mr. Abernathy, who is proprietor, has a capable manager in Mr. Bond and they are destined to build up a great business on Vine Street. HOSPITAL WORKERS.

Bertram Johnson. I stood at God's great vantage place— The altar set before his face, And then upon me poured in full The vision great and beautiful. I dreamed—and saw a lowly race Take in this land its rightful place; Through God's great magnifying glass— The lapse of Time—I saw them pass. Before the great White Judgment Throne— All races—and lo! I saw my own— The race from bondage lately free— O God! a host remembered Thee! They followed leaders tried and true, Whose faith and love had lead them thru— The great God-men-true called and sent, Invested with the sacrament. I saw dark women whom the Christ Thru all their lives had full sufficed,— Mothers of sons of God and men, Their travail had erased Eve's sin. I saw their daughters pure and tried, Their loviness surpassing pride, Their hearts transparent as a glass,— And I blessed God to see them pass. The children whom the Lord once drew About his knee and blessed them true, I heard their laughter mixt with song In silvery speech thrill thru the throng. Andall before the altar prayed; The night came down and still they stayed, Their prayers went up and God came down, In Christ upon the lowly ground. I saw His own reject the word— But they, who prayed, full gladly heard, And loved the Christ and praised His name, And gave Him glory, trust and fame. I dreamed this by the Altar place, My soul waxed warm upon my race; I knelt me there, O God, to you, And prayed. "May this my dream come true." --- MARIA MRS. N. C.

THE NEW VINE STREET THEATRE Owing to the fact that we are "Jim Crowed" in, or barred from the best theatres and moving picture houses in this city, we are more than pleased to welcome the re-opening of the New Vine Street Theatre under its present management, and especially since the manager, Mr. George W. K. Love, seems to understand and appreciate the needs of the people of this community. The external and internal improvements, the mellow lights, the soft strains of music which do not disrupt attention from what is being presented on the screen, but act as a subtle force contributing to the pleasure and delight of the patrons, all show that the manager has an innate artistic sense, and that he likewise appreciates the fact that the members of his audience have been endowed with the same capacities. Attending the theatre is very much like reading a good book. At the end or conclusion, one should feel that he has gotten something, in the way of pleasure or food for after-thought, out of what has been presented. And, if he does not have this feeling at the conclusion the author of the book or the play, as the case may be, has utterly failed in his purpose. As a people, we owe it to ourselves to enjoy the highclassed art of all the star actresses and actors in this country. If the "other fellow" denies us this privilege, there is nothing left to be done but to secure them for ourselves, or worse yet, to go without. We are often too easily satisfied. We often accept that which is not particularly pleasing to us without murmuring. This characteristic has been in keeping with the treatment we have been compelled to accept in other days. But, the time has now approached when we have a right to demand that which is best both in the field of labor and in pleasure. Mr. Love caters to all. He has comedy and fun for the fun-lovers, that which makes the jolly more jolly, and which acts as a balm to the tired and care-worn mind, bringing at least a temporary respite from the burdens that have oppressed during the day. He has melodrama and tragedy for those who like to fathom the deeper emotions, analysing human nature under the most trying circumstances. There is music for those who perhaps care more for this side of the programme. If, however, our patron be indifferent, then, there is a comfort able seat in a clean, spacious auditorium where he may sit unmolested as he shares in the delight of those about him. Whatever the idiosyncracies of the many different patrons may chance to be, I am confident that as long as Mr. Love presents such pictures as "The Unchastened Woman," "Alimony," "A Daughter of the Gods," and Charlie Chaplin in "A Dog's Life," the theater lovers of this city will be found filling this large auditorium to capacity every evening. We appreciate and thank Mr. Love for this great and worthy effort. The Negroes of Kansas City and the Western States are preparing to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of the coming of their race to America, by giving here in Convention Hall an exposition of their accomplishments, on January 29, 1919. A local committee has been appointed to take charge of the arrangements of which Rev. Wm. H. Thomas is chairman, and it will be assisted by persons from the various large cities of the West. A publicity committee composed of Nelson C. Crews, Thomas as Kennedy and C. A. Franklin, and a committee on exhibits with Rev. F. Jesse Peck as chairman, will assist the executive committee. The celebration is fortunate in having here at hand several groups of trained workers who will take the lead in the preparation of the exhibits. Rev. Peck is the president of one such group, Western University, at Quindaro, Kan. Women's work will play a prominent part in the exhibition. Both because of the new appreciation of the value of women in community life, and because Negro women have long contributed to industry, far more than other women, according to the U. S. census, this feature alone will justify the exhibition. The celebration idea is born of a resolution adopted by the bench of bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, and the one to be held here will be representative of all the states in the Fifth Episcopal District of that Church. They are all the trans-Missouri states and their presiding bishop is Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks. Mrs. Neville's Corset customers can find her at her store at 1504 Troost Avenue.

AIM SHOULD BE PERFECTION Man Who Is Satisfied With Nothing but the Best Is Man Who Will Make Good in Life. Don't get into the “that’s-good- enough” habit. Nothing short of “per- fect” should be your motto. Slovenly habits of mind and hand grow faster than good habits. A slip- shod manner of thinking results in slipshod methods of work. You will never become efficient in any oue thing till you get it firmly fixed in your mind that if another can do it better than you you are not do- ing well. Thoroughness and accuracy play a big part in the success or fallure of the individual. You may be artistic and tempera- mental and dreamy, but you will never realize your dreams till you get down to brass tacks and do what you do with precision and dispatch. There Is plenty of time to exercise your artistic moods after you have learned all there is to know of the mechanical and fundamental prin- ciples of the work or accomplishment you think you were out to do. Remember that interpretation comes Jast. ‘There must be weeks, months and years of systematic and consistent rill before one is capable of exercis ing the faculty of interpretation. dis aan ‘Merchant bar, or merchant fron, is the bar iron which has been finished by passing through the merchant rolls. Puddled bars are worked into mer- chant iron or merchant bar by being eut into pleces of suitable length, which are then plied in packets, heat- ed into welding heat, and then ham- ‘ered into bars of suitable shape to put on the market, The amount of Jabor bestowed on this process de- pends on the quality of the tron it is desired to produce, Puddle bars, which have been rolled a second time are called “No. 2,” and this is usually designated as "merchant bar.” It 1s the lowest quality of iron available for the.smith's general use. If piled ‘and rolled again the product is called “No. 8.” Another repetition of the process furnishes an article known as “best-best,” and still another gives “treble-best.” Lee eee ee eee ere sere!

Master Perry Jones recited most pleasantly. ‘The Clippers brought a large supply of fruit and candy and Mr. James Carter, one of the inmates of the Home, who is sightless, rendered a number of vio- lin selections.

C. Crews and by Mrs, S. B. Johnson were very tastefully arranged and plentiful. ‘The management of the Home wishes to thank the ladies who came in per- son to give their boxes, as well as those who could not be in attendance; the employees, who worked earnestly for the success of the affair, and last- ly we thank Mrs, Howard M. Smith, who conceived this plan of making some unfortunate person happy at Christmas time.

The visitor who brings a sunny, fresh point of view with her is always sure of a cordial reception, providing she is careful to carry out certain other requisites which a successful guest is wise enough to follow, whether she has ever analyzed them in this cold fashion or not. It might be safe to guess that she has never thought about it all, but, guilded simply by her sincere desire to express real fellowship, has instinctively fulfilled her obligations. Yet when considered, perhaps the one thing more than another which insures one's renewed welcome may be summed up in the single word, adaptability. Cane Is Mark of High Office. It has been the custom of the surgeon of the king of England to carry a "gold-headed cane." This cane has been handed down to the various incumbents of the office since the days of Dr. John Radcliffe, who was the first "holder of the cane." It has been used for 200 years or more by the greatest physicians and surgeons in the world, who succeeded to it. The "gold-headed cane" was adorned by a cross-bar at the top instead of a knob. The fact is explained by Munk, in that Radcliffe, the first owner, was a rule unto himself, and probably preferred this device as a mark of distinction from the knob used by physicians in general. Life of Congress. Each congress lasts two years and under the Constitution must assemble at least once each year. Two regular sessions are held, both beginning on the first Monday in December. The long session lasts from December of each odd year until congress adjourns, generally on the following June or July, and the short session, beginning in December of each even year, ends at noon on the following March 4. The long session may last until the next session begins, while the short session is ended by the expiration of the two years' term for which the congress is elected on March 4, following its meeting.

The testimony given last week by Capt George B. Lester of the military intelligence bureau concerning the methods employed by German pro- gandists in this country furnished the explanation of President Wilson's utterance on lynching, issued late in July, the inspiration for which has remained unknown to the public up to the present. No outbreak of mob violence of peculiar audacity had occurred immediately before the issuance of the president's appeal for the 43. City Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. A. E. Jenkins 44.

Booker denunciation of lawlessness provoked general curiosity. According to Captain Lester, German propaganda among the negroes took several forms, from promises that Germany after winning the war would establish an independent negro state on this continent to insistent emphasizing of lynchings, Captain Lester testified that: "This propaganda became so serious from a military point of view that a conference of the negro leaders of the nation was called to consider the question on July 6, 1918. "As a result of this conference and T', statement by the president de THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1918. 26, 1918, not much more was heard of the German activities among the negroes." Thus President Wilson's anti-lynching proclamation was a war measure, issued in response to the representations of the military authorities, and was productive of good results in that it rendered German propaganda useless. We are glad it fulfilled its immediate purpose. It will now be interesting to observe President Wilson's acts to make effective his words of last July, for in war or peace mob violence is an evil so menacing that no officer of the government can afford to ignore it.

St. Louis in particular and the Masonic fraternity in general mourn the death of one of its most noted representatives in the person of James W. Grant affectionately known as "the old Campaigner" who passed away December 16th and was buried from All Saints Episcopal Church of which he was a life long member. Mr. Grant was 69 years old and for 46 years had been the Secretary of Onward Lodge 17 A. F. & A. M. which is a record for efficient service in Masonry. He was the prime factor in all social events in the city of St. Louis and held many offices of trust and honor. The Sun extends its deepest sympathy to relatives. THE LAST WORD IN CARS.

To be sure, their beauty of line is the predominating element of attraction. Its attainment, however, was neither accidental nor purely artistic in its conception. Note the lines of the great, new war aircraft next time you see them in the motion pictures —or better yet, "in the life," if the opportunity affords itself. Compare them with the lines of this car.

The origin of the phrase sub rosa, "under the rose," implies secrecy, and had its origin in the year 477 B. C., at which time Pausanias, the commander of the confederate fleet of the Spartans and Athenians, was engaged in intrigues with Xerxes for the subjugation of Greece to the Persian rule, and for the hand of the monarch's daughter in marriage. The negotiations were carried on in a building attached to the temple of Minerva, called the Brazen house, the roof of which was a garden forming a bower of roses; so that the plot, which was conducted with the utmost secrecy, was literally matured under the roses. Pausanias, however, was betrayed by one of his enlistees, who, by a pre-concerted plan with the overseers and counselors of state, five in number, gave them a secret opportunity to hear from the lips of Pausanias the acknowledgment of his treason. To escape arrest, he fled to the temple of Minerva, and as the sanctity of the place forbade intrusion, the people walled up the edifice so that he might die of starvation.

However many descriptions of Constantinople may have been read or heard previously, the actual sight of it must certainly come to every one with a feeling almost of astonishment at the sheer beauty of the place. Certainly it can be a matter of surprise to no one that Constantine chose Byzantium as the spot from which to rule the East, for surely no city ever had a more magnificent situation. Whether seen from the deck of the steamer, as it nears Constantinople, coming up from the sea of Mamora, or from the head of the Golden Horn, or from the heights of Pera opposite, or even from the Galata bridge, Stamboul, rising from the brilliantly blue waters which surround it on three sides, must always take first place for lovelliness among all the beautiful cities of the world. In May, when all the Judas trees are a mass of pinkish blossom and the wistaria hangs in pendant pale mauve masses above the narrow streets between the old wooden houses, Stamboul is perhaps beautiful above all months in the year. Mexico Had Printing Press in 1537. Mexico Had Printing Press in 1537. Mexico had a printing press about a hundred years earlier than the United States, or, to be exact, in 1537. The first works printed upon it were naturally by authors born in Spain who had come to America. The claim that the first book by a native-born American was written by a Mexican, and struck from this press, has stood undisputed for many years. Recently a writer of Santo Domingo has been brought forward as the first American author. An article in a recent number of the new monthly magazine, Inter-America, presents a well documented discussion of the relative claims, in which the author concludes that the honor still remains with Mexico. The first book, in his finding, by a native American author was printed by Juan de Leon, in Sevilla, in the year 1594. There exist copies of this priceless edition in the collection of the Hispanic Society of America, in New York, in that of the Duke de T'Serclaes in Sevilla. raising funds to secure, if possible, who are confined in prison for hav- uoustion riot.
