NUMBER 19. MR. J. STANLEY The Aggressive and Successful Representative of the American Woodmen. Mr. J. Stanley of 2128 Woodland avenue has forged to the front rank as a representative of the American Woodmen in this state. Mr. Stanley came to Kansas City about one and a half years ago, his former home being Houston, Texas, but recently from Des Moines, la., where he spent two months in the Colored Officers' Training Camp of which he was recommended by the War Department after he had so successfully passed the examination as he had served in the United States Army prior to the time of his examination for the Des Moines camp. Mr. Stanley states that at the time he entered the training camp he was informed that the War Department was going to establish more Colored Cavalry Regiments as he pre- MR. J. STANLEY.ferred to serve that arm of the service. As the Government did not establish any more Colored Cavalry Regiments he was disappointed and was successful in having secured from the service an honorable discharge. Mr. Stanley was a well known business man before leaving Houston, Texas, his home town where he was engaged in Real Estate and Insurance with a company whose home agency is in Philadelphia, Pa., and was succeeding in building that company a substantial business in this city among his race which said the company was operated by white people. He states that about that time he was approached by one of the Representatives of the American Woodmen and asked what would be the chances to get him to accept a position with the American Woodmen Insurance Company that is owned, operated and controlled by the race. After giving the matter careful consideration he decided to sever his connection with the white company and accept a position with the American Woodmen and is now connected with the office on the Kansas Side as an assistant to State Supervisor W. G. Banks of the American Woodmen for the entire state of Kansas. Mr. Banks, as well as the company, is proud to have a man that is well experienced in the insurance business. Since Mr. Stanley has been given that field on the Kansas City, Kans., side, he has succeeded in making for himself many friends in that institution, and The Sun predicts for him a highly successful career in the two Kansas City. Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. Clubs will hold their usual vesper service and business meeting on Sunday, January 12, at the Y. W. C. A. All holding books for soliciting members will report names and money collected. It is hoped that all members and friends of the movement will assist in selling tickets and making the Convention Hall Concert on January 22nd a grand success. "A Thousand Paid Up Members by January 22," is the slogan. Mrs. Mamie Level of Council Grove, Kansas, is spending a few days with Mrs. Betty Mosby, 1327 Garfield avenue, this city. The Kansas City Sun THE OLD ORDER PASSETH. The year 1918 has been borne away on the mysterious wings of Time, leaving behind its precious legacy of history, and its record of achievement and progress of the American Negro, for coming generations to peruse and point to with pride. The year was indeed, a memorable milestone, marking a significant epoch in the life of our people in the United States. With its glorious sunset, we find our men and women occupying a higher rung on the ladder of American civilization, shouting in exultation to their comrades to continue to press forward, for there are still greater conquests to be made during the present year 1919. The unparalleled conflict which has just been brought to a close served as a great upheaval, turning out of its natural course the restless stream of humanity. It has brought into prominence men and women who formerly lived in comparative obscurity. Some have risen to international fame through the horrible deeds of war; others have gained their laurels through deeds of valor, sacrifices and noble work. The Negro has taken his place in the vanguard which moved forward with immeasureable speed, and has adjusted himself to the new regime with an ease that is characteristic of the race. He has been gladly welcomed into places where, prior to the war, his presence would have been considered an unpardonable intrusion. In fact, Uncle Sam could not have gotten along very well without him. The year 1919 finds him engaged in the various branches of the work of the government in larger numbers than ever before, receiving salaries that seem to many of them like a small fortune. It finds him holding rank in the army. He has entered almost every branch of trade and business and has been recognized as the superior workman in many instances. He has become more thrifty and more prosperous as a private citizen, thereby increasing his value to his government. When all records are carefully and impartially examined, even those who are prone to give the most severe criticism will have to concede that they, as a people, have done well.

For in was without a superior durin Being of a disposition str vid patriotic impulses he was the political events of this co of world thought was no less The world's greatest private citizen had suddenly been called to his great reward. Even in its present disturbed state the world pauses in sorrow to note this untimely passing of the peerless statesman, scholar, soldier, author, traveler and orator. For in each of these attainments he was without a superior during a part of two centuries. Being of a disposition strongly marked by the most fervid patriotic impulses he was at all times a great factor in the political events of this country and Europe. His grasp of world thought was no less than marvelous and his judgments, though at times apparently harsh, were always amply vindicated by succeeding events. He was bold, fearless and outspoken in everything, never selfish, and if he at times appeared to verge upon egotism it was because he had a right to be so. He always delivered the goods promised and kept a suppl yin reserve. Theodore Roosevelt was fair. He did not always please even his friends and admirers but he always carried in his acts such undeniable evidences of real conviction that few dared even to hold out in their differences in opinion. He was a master of opinion, he was a world patron, he was a universal mediator, not self-appointed, but universally chosen and approved. Every human interest will keenly feel the loss of Roosevelt and no one is now at hand to champion the causes toward which he has been often the first and always the best friend. Memorial services will be held for him by the Negroes of Missouri at Allen Chapel, January 19th. have been accorded men and women of the race have been a great stimulation to their ambition, they have beenbeen a wonderful incentive urging them onward to the undertaking of still more difficult tasks that they may bring greater honor to their country and to their race which needs every star that can be gained to illumine the pages of a history which a prejudiced, Negro-despising nation are wont to paint black, or to bury in obscurity. Now, if we, as a race, can rise up in a dangerous emergency caused by unforeseen circumstances and fill the break in the machinery of our government to the satisfaction of even the most critical task masters, shall we, now that the great crisis is past, betake ourselves from the principal scene of action without some sort of ceremony? Shall we fall back to the levels from which we were called without a protest? These are questions which should find place in the mind of every Negro man and woman throughout this country. At present, all eyes are directed toward the return of those who have endured privations, suffered and sacrificed in distant lands, and the disposition that will be made of them in the future is a subject of much conjecture. In France, our Sister Republic, our men have received a hearty welcome. They have been accorded the unstinted hospitality of the French homes. They have been shown every honor due them as men, and, above all, as citizens of the country which they represented. They, in their brief period of service over seas, have been made to forget the taint of prejudice, the many injustices which they have borne in the very land which boasts of being the "Cradle of Democracy." They have not been reminded at every opportune and inopportune time that they belonged to a race that is despised and condemned because of color and supposed mental inferiority. Many of their number lie buried in unknown graves, having poured out their last libation on the altar of their country. Many of those who return have shed their blood that the gems in the crown of our fair Democracy might become more resplendent. All this, and more, is true.

Those who greet them at the wharves will perhaps, receive them into their bosoms. But, when these same heroes are transferred to the different camps throughout this country to be finally mustered out, they must ride in the same old Jim Crow cars, they, perhaps, will be subjected to many of the same old humiliating insults, and the wild cheers that acclaimed their arrival into home ports will be but as something evanescent, a mockery of their fondest dreams. It will be as though the same throng which yelled itself hoarse in its anxiety to give them a hearty welcome were crying out in clamorous voices, "Crucify them!" For such treatment is crick fixion not of the body but of the soul. Will our dusky heroes sit silently by in acquiescence or acceptance of such treatment? Will they continue to accept alloy in return for the pure gold which they have always given? I believe that war with its severe discipline and hardships will serve to bring out the real character and caliber of our men. They, in the future, will set the example of initiative, courage, fortitude and bravery. Out of the old good-natured, self-satisfied Negro will be evolved one who will be capable of finding the solution to his own problems; he will be relied upon to defend that which he has acquired through toil, earnest application and obstinate endurance. He will be depended upon to protect that REV. J. W. HURSE, D. D. HURSE-HOWARD WEDDING. The marriage of Miss Leona Howard to Rev. J. W. Hurse, the famous pastor of St. Stephen Baptist Church, was celebrated Sunday evening after services at that church. Mrs. Sarai Bradford presided at the piano and with her splendid rendition made known the arrival of the bridal party Dr. D. M. Miller and Dr. G. W. Brown in full dress were honored ushers for the occasion. Dr. Miller escorted Mrs. Nannie Bunch from the north wing of the church to the altar and Dr. Brown escorted Mrs. Sophia Lyons from the south wing where the apex of the Yuletide bridal circle was formed. Maids of honor were: Mrs. Dr. Brown, Mrs. Mable Daniels, Mrs. Dr. Miller and Mrs. Mable Cormack. Dr. J. W. Hurse and Miss Leona Howard completed the formation of the circle. The bride wore a beautiful steel color embroidered satin gown and carried a shower bouquet of Orchid and ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON, JAN. 12TH OPEN MEETING Let all the men and women of the city attend this meeting to do honor to a great man.

Thomas, who so timely officiated. Rev. Dr. Beckham of Independence, Mo., and wife were excused from their services to attend the ceremony. Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Dr. Bunch and others were in attendance. It was indeed pleasing to see how attentively the five children of Dr Hurse sat during the ceremony and when time permitted each child was at the altar to embrace and welcome their father and mother. The Sun extends its sincerest congratulations to the splendid doctor and his charming bride, who is one of the most beautiful women of the Race and the Editor regrets exceedingly he was in St. Louis and unable to be present at the wedding of a man whom he classed as his dearest friend Dr. Hurse is a courageous leader, a powerful preacher and a valiant defender of the rights of his people Long live Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Hurse which is sacred to him with his life, if needs be. He, not as a Negro, but as a full American citizen, will rise up with the strength of Sampson, destroy every vestige of the old cringing, fawning, character of past generations, restore the birthright which has been stolen from him through trickery and fair promises, and, through a supreme effort, turn over a clean page for the beginning of a record for future years. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 2.—Hon George H. White, a member of the Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth Congress from North Carolina, died here last Saturday. He was sixty-six years old and had been practicing law in Phila delphia for twelve years. NEAL HERRIFORD ILL. Principal Joe E. ferrifrill received a telegram this week stating that his son, Neal, now enrolled in the University of Arizona, is ill and was unable to resume his classes at the reopening of the university after the "flu" epidemic. The illness is pronounced by physicians not to be of a serious nature at present. FROM OVERSEAS Prof. H. O. Cook with the Y. M. C. A. in France writes Mrs. Cook that he will sail for home about the 15th of this month. Lieutenant J. R. Fairley writes: "Having the time of my life in Paris. Talked with a Japanese Y. M. C. A. man who was a Harvard graduate and spoke seven languages. He related some very interesting things." Clarence H. Mayes of Company A, 349th M. G. Bn., writes that he is highly pleased with France and the treatment of the French. Accompanied by Sergt. Eugene Adams, Chauffeur Geo. Donnell, Swinney and several home town boys, I made a trip on Mt. Cascade, a height of 6,481 feet. We are happy over here and could stay if we could just move old Kansas City over to us. The boys all send best regards to their friends, and especially John Lang lodge of the Masonic fraternity. Sergt. William R. Campbell, Company F, 370th Infantry A. F. E., who was wounded and gassed in France last September, writes his mother he is getting along fine and if it is the Lord's will he will be home soon, though at times he never thought he would ever live to see the war end, but thanks God that as a soldier he had done his duty. He says, "God has wonderfully blessed me to this time and I thank Him from the depths of my heart." Little did I think when I was a little boy I would grow up and make a soldier for Uncle Sam. Mamma prayed for me that I might return home to the dear old U. S. A. and my sweet mamma, Beatrice Jackson, 3523 Charlotte street, Kansas City, Mo." NEGRO REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE Messrs. C. H. Calloway, W. C. Hueston, F. W.

We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions. Why not advertise what you have to rent or sell in this paper which reaches all the colored people in greater Kansas City? PRICE. 5c. HON. C. M. WHITE COMING. Special notice is hereby given by the American Woodmen to all discharged soldiers and all other men who might wish to participate to come Thursday night, January 16th, to Rev. Hurse's church, for the purpose of organizing a Uniform Rank unde the direction of Mr. Kent of St. Louis, Mo., Supreme Organizer of Uniform Rank. A Band will also be organized at that time. We are welcoming to the city on that day the Hon. C. M. White of Denver, Colo., Supreme Commander of the American Woodmen, and one of the greatest Negroes of his day, who will speak at Allen Chapel, A. M. E. Church, Sunday, January 19th. On the night of the 20th the public is cordially invited to attend a free reception given by the American Woodmen, at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, Rev. Osborne, pastor. The following named will be speakers: REV. W. A. CAMPBELL. Mrs. Ida Beck, Hon. W. C. Hueston, Mr. N. C. Crews. Special guests are: Rev. W. H. Thomas, Rev. S. W. Bacote, Prof. W. H. Harrison, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Hon. C. H. Calloway, Mr. H. B. Moore, Mr. R. V. Adkins and Rev. Osborne. Members of the American Woodmen are requested to get their dues into the office by the first of each month. They really should be paid the last day of the month for the incoming month. Please understand that we have no collector, so bring your money to the office, 1612 E. 12th street, or to the Hall, either the first or the third Tuesday of each month. It is perfectly all right to pay a deputy if you happen to see one. However, you are expected to look after your own payments. In view of the fact that our work has increased to such an extent that we are unable to do your part and ours too, we ask you to kindly abide by the law. Please read note on your official receipt which will hereafter be your guide. The American Woodmen has increased in this city by leaps and bounds. We could name a lady who has put down the Metropolitan and taken a policy with us instead. Neighbor Frank May, 1605 Tracy, is carrying a policy with the Metropolitan for $500. He pays $27.72 per year for nothing but a straight life policy. In the American Woodmen, for a $500.00 policy, he pays $22.20 per year, has a sick benefit at the rate of $156.00 per year, and in case of accident, he will receive $225.00. Whereas, in the Metropolitan, he gets nothing for his $27.72 but $500.00 at death. So you can see the contrast between Woodcraft and the Metropolitan. We are giving our people a better show. W. A.

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning." Funeral services of John Barleycorn were held in Helena and throughout Montana at midnight on the 30th of December, 1918. John Barleycorn was one of Montana's best known citizens, coming to the state possibly as early as the first white settler. He was a man of many and peculiar traits, and while he boasted of many stamach friends his enemies were more numerous and relentless; the latter finally succeeding in bringing about his demise on the above named date. Barleycorn's overwhelming popularity and boundless influence was his own undoing. While much of his Work was good, a too implicit trust and faith in him invariably spelled ruin to his best friend. Social political and business temples opened wide their portals to him; yea, ever the church, at one time, mildly quaffed of his seductive influence Time changeth all things. He is gone! He is no more! He is dead! His sepultus John Barleycorn. Laus Deo Mrs. Ada Hart, with Mesdames A. G. Dorsey, K. C. Smith, C. K. McEvoy, Cora Johnson and Ella Anderson, surprised Mrs. Jefferson Harrison by appearing Christmas morning with a typical southern breakfast, all prepared, and after laying covers for seven, a most enjoyable morning was spent. A bunch of fresh violets, the gift of Mrs. Johnson, adorned the corsage of each lady. Dainty place cards were furnished by Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Dorsey was the donor of table decorations. Robert Brown of our city and Albert Johnson of Missoula, of Company M, 812th Pioneer Infantry, arrived several days ago from Camp Dodge, Iowa. They were three days out on the ocean when the armistice was signed and they were ordered to return to the United States. Miss Hilda Christian was called to her home in Townsend because of the illness of her mother, father, two brothers and a sister, who had contracted the "flu." At this writing all are recovering.

Mrs. Annie Kelly, mother of Mrs. W. R. Dorsey, has been confined to her bed for several weeks. Mrs. Ella Anderson and Mrs. Nannie Reed were at home to more than a score of their friends Saturday evening, the 28th, at the residence of the former on Broadway. Refreshments in keeping with Christmas week, and the usual happy faculty which they possess to please, made the evening one of joy. Among the many social events of Christmas week, none were more characteristic of the Yuletide spirit than the finely appointed dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Welsh at their residence on Broadway. The comfortable home was tastefully decorated with evergreen and beautiful, sweet scented flowers of Christmas hue. Included in the guest list were: Rev. and Mrs. George F. Martin, Mr. and Mrs. Julian Anderson and family, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Ingram, Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Maney and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. W. Clarke. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Calender of Gt. Falls, who have been spending the holidays with Mrs. Calender's parents, have returned to the Falls. The joy of Christmas holidays reached its climax in an elaborate dinner given by Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Dorsey, New Year's Eve. The center of the table was graced with a bowl of ferns and the color scheme of red gave an added beauty to the general surroundings which were all that heart could wish for. Those partaking of the hospitality were: Mr. and Mrs. Julian Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Reid, Mr. and Mrs. Miles York, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hart, Mrs. Jefferson Harrison and Mr. Julian Anderson, Jr. Mr. Harry Travis Kilgour and Miss Carolyn Eveta Dorsey were married at Pocatello, Idaho, by Rev. C. D. Parker at 5:30 o'clock p. m., December 31st. Mr. Kilgour is well known throughout the Northwest, having for many years traveled for Closset & Devers, of Portland, Ore., importers of teas, coffee and spices. He is now with the C. and A. Amusement Company of Pocatello, where he has purchased a beautiful bungalow for his bride. Mrs. Kilgour is the oldest daughter of Mrs. W. R. Dorsey, owner of the Dorsey Mercantile Company, and was one of the most popular young ladies of Helena's social set. She is an accomplished musician, having finished her musical education at Fisk. Her many friends wish for her numerous happy years filled with the best obtainable things along life's journey. Mrs. Laura Sidney of Townsend, who has been visiting Mrs. J. W.

The thirteen superstition is perhaps as widespread as any of the popular notions of this kind. These are many and apparently they are as much in favor as ever. The name of those who regard Friday as an unlucky day is legion. Many people think it is a sign of coming bad luck to see the new moon over the left shoulder.

Of course the president is an unusual man.

The final steps of the test were worked out at Columbia university in the department of chemical engineering under the direction of Prof. Frank H. McKee, who made the announcement. Owing to certain legal reasons not all the steps of the process can be published at this time, but in the main it consists of drying the prepared meats in a vacuum even at a low temperature. It is possible to cut a sirloin or porterhouse steak according to the standard restaurant dimensions, dry it by this recent method, and then wet it before cooking and serve it hot, even passably rare, without anybody's knowing that it did not come directly from the butcher's block around the corner. It is estimated that the cost of the new process will be about the same as the expense of keeping meats in refrigeration. The effect, however, should be to bring down the prices of meats through savings in freight on land and sea.

It was nothing more and nothing less than the enlistment of as nearly as possible the best brains of every industry, business and profession in the United States as an auxiliary to the department of justice. Today there are approximately three hundred thousand members of the American Protective league. They cover the United States from ocean to ocean and from Canada to the Gulf.

For each dollar contributed by the American people for war relief work more than $1.01 is expended for that purpose, the extra cent being provided by interest on the funds. These are two of the striking statements in the annual financial report of the Red Cross covering the fiscal year ended June 30, 1918. All the expenses of operating the DRYING ROOM YOU'RE NEXT of the A. P. L. will be written and it will be interesting reading. Just now the average citizen knows little about it. The immense number of pro-Germans working in this country called the A. P. L. into being. For every investigator in government employ in March, 1517, a hundred were needed to meet the crisis. It seemed impossible to get an appropriation for them. Yet their need was vital. How was the problem to be solved? The American PUBLIC SCHOOL Brest on December 13 recalls the president's trip from New York to Sea Girt, September 13, 1912, when he was making his speaking tour, just preceding his election as president. He sat in chair No. 13 in the parlor car. Mr. Wilson said: "Thirteen is my lucky number. I usually get seat 13 or room 13 wherever I go. The number 13 has run through my life constantly.

JANUARY 11. 1919. Gay Party Brocks Return Copyright Decorated & Ordered For Devotees of Midwinter Sports FOOD Gay troops of party frocks are fairly dancing in no longer fearing frowns of disapproval. They are to play a part in our welcome home to our conquering heroes. As these heroes have sung the praises of American girls and have made comparisons odious to the maids of other lands, while sojourning "over there," our own girls are determined to look their best now that the boys are coming home. "Let no maid think she is not fairer in new clothes than old"—or words to that effect—said the great poet laureate. Here, in the picture above, is portrayed a dance frock which is pretty enough to inspire appreciative people like poets and returning heroes. It is of Nile green tulle over a satin petticoat with an underbodice of cloth of silver. Iridescent bands, made of sequins that do much gleaming and twinkling, have occasional white daisies, in narrow ribbon embroidery, placed upon them. These always suggest youth. The bands are used in a border at the bottom of the For Devotees of Due to arrive just now are the more or less pretentious outfits for the devotees of midwinter sports. Pleasure-seekers are divided into two factions; one of them lured by sunshine and soft air,气y companionship and new adventure, to the South, and the other, strong for the North with its lee and snow and lusty sports. In the South fashions add their interest to every occupation, and this element of interest is not lacking where the background of all apparel is a world covered with snow and ice-bound. Since such a background calls for the sparkle of brilliant color, we await the entry of a lot of fascinating and snappy toys for Northern sportsmen. Just as we would that of a heart-stirring military band. In the vanguard, having already arrived for Christmas, there are new skating sets in two or three pieces. They are made of soft felts, basketweave cloths or developed in any of the heavy, soft weaves among winter coatings. Some of these sets add a small muff to the scarf and cap. There are hand-knitted and hand-crocheted sets, of yarns; those of angora having made their entry earliest. In the picture above two sets made of cloths are shown, one of felt and one of a basket-weave. At the left, a smart set is made of wine-colored felt. The scarf is very wide, worn with a shawl effect, and finished with a knotted fringe of yarn. The cap is an inspiration of the "overseas" cap, and a metallic orna- --- tulle skirt and in two spiral lines above. There is a short overdress, without a hem, joined to a yoke developed of the iridescent bands extended into a corselet. The tulle bodice is puffed and the sleeves are puffs confined by bands with pointed flouces falling from them. Some one should whisper in the ears of auburn-haired and red-haired girls, that here is a frock that will make them look their loveliest. But this green is not a difficult color for almost any girl whatever her complexion. A radiant skin and bright hair are wonderfully set off by it. Somber Hues. Beige crepe de chine and dark blue satin, tete de negre velvet and black satin, blue serge and black satin, and black georgette and black satin are favorite combinations. A certain soft shade of terra cotta is also used effectively with black. The scarcity of fabrics and the necessity for conserving wool are responsible for this folble of fashion. Midwinter Sports ment makes a dashing finish for it. The set at the right is developed in a rose-colored basket cloth. Fringed bands of the material are used for a decoration on both the scarf and cap, but a crocheted rose of chenille blooms on the latter while the scarf, with briar-stitched edges, is cleverly folded up at one end to form a muff. Julia Bottomley The separate vest is the most important and popular dress accessory of the season. It has made its appearance in innumerable fabrics, colors and general styles. Primarily the separate vest is intended for wear with the two-piece suit, but it is possible to wear it with a tailored or semitailored street frock, transforming a plain dress into one that is elaborate enough for afternoon wear. These vests may be made with or without collars, and the choice of fabrics covers the entire range from filmy nets and laces to heavy, warm angora. Separate vests of fur and imitation fur are also often made to accompany plain tailored suits, and they may be worn either underneath or outside the suit coat. Judging Materials. When buying woollen materials hold them up to the light and look through them; the best qualities are free from uneven and broken threads. STORIES of AMERICAN CITIES This City Is Solving Its Own Peace Problems FLINT, MICH—It is a self-evident truth that if every American community took care of its own problems the United States would have fewer national problems. Every community should be as nearly self-sufficient as possible. men of Flint have taken concerted action both to prevent any disturbance of conditions of employment and to modify the inflation of the cost of living caused by the war. They have resolved to keep their employees at work at their old jobs with their old wages while at the same time seeking to effect substantial price reductions in the necessities of life. They have had the price of milk reduced by one cent a quart by agreement, the price of shoes by 10 per cent and the price of coal by from 3 to 5 per cent, or to a figure below that fixed by the fuel administration. Landlords have voted a 15 per cent reduction of rentals for 90 days. Is Flint to become an industrial Altruria? It has started what it hopes will become a "nation-wide movement to break the upward trend in prices throughout the world." Whether or not that broad ideal is realized, the city has attacked the problem of high prices and industrial unrest where it is logically open to attack. Curing local evils first by local means should best effect an improvement of general conditions. Chicago "Kewpies" and Their "Bureau de Amour" Chicago "Kewpies" and Their "Bureau de Amour" CHICAGO—The police of the Windy City are taking on great airs these days. They claim they have something on every other police department in the United States. What is it? Well, it's a sort of "bureau de amour," as the police put it. And the detectives The acting consul explained that the request for this information, following French customs, came to him from three countrywomen of his, who have accepted Chicago boys to be their husbands. Not wishing to take a pig in a poke, even if said pig appears to be A No. 1 in every respect, these young Frenchwomen have exercised native caution in finding out just who the boys are and all about their families. Their names? Well, M. Vermeuil explained that the requests came to him in a confidential manner, that he did not wish to make the names public, but it was intimated that all three of the young men lived on the South side before they enlisted and sailed for La Belle Francaise. "I expect there will be a good many of these requests before long," said Chief Mooney, to whom Chief Garrity turned over the request. "I am going to assign three detectives to the work and they will make their report direct to the acting French consul. As there will be more of them the men assigned today may find they have a more or less permanent job for a while helping out international marriages." "Diana of the Dunes" Weeps Over a Giant Friend VALPARAISO, IND—Paul Wilson, 6 feet 5 inches sans footwear, is awaiting trial in the Valparaiso jail on charges of housebreaking preferred by Henry W. Lehman of Evanston and C. H. Spring of Chicago, both of whom which a crate of eggs disappeared, Johnson followed tracks to Diana's shack. There he found Diana and a man whose head was up among the rafters. He was too big to be stopped and made off, notwithstanding Johnson's rifle. "Fish" Johnson found City Marshal Pillapaugh of Chesterton near by and a man hunt developed which led to Wilson's capture under a tree as he slept. He was taken to Chesterton and locked up. Diana came and gazed through the bars at the being to whom she had given shelter. He hung his head and turned away. Diana came sorrowfully forth and wept. "The man asked for shelter and I had no idea he was paying for it by robbing my neighbors," she said. "I took him in because he was cold and wet and hungry." A notebook found on Wilson contained memoranda to the effect that he whipped Carl Morris twice and earned a draw from him once. The dunes are the famous sand dunes of northwestern Indiana, along the shore at the head of Lake Michigan. Chicago hopes to establish the Dunes Natural park here. It is now a wilderness enjoyed by many Chicoans. It Just Happened; No Joker Could Be So Cruel BROOKLYN.—Counselor George E. Brower occasionally indulges in a "friendly little game." George was sitting in the other evening for a short session and the kind dealer gave him three deuces. He drew two cards, and They were all of the same denomination, the whole five of 'em, b'gosh, and everybody began to look askance at Brower. He was right there with the albi and the replevin and all the other legal defenses, but the jury did not seem to take much stock in his protestations. A committee was appointed to investigate, and when the pack was counted it was found to consist of 56 cards, eight of which were two-spots.

P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918. Western Newspaper University.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 12 MOSES THE DELIVERER OF ISRAEL. LESSON TEXT—Exodus 8:1-13. GOLDEN TEXT—and Moses verily was faithful in all his house. Hebrews 3:5. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Exodus 8:13-17; Acts 7:17-26. While the oppression of God's people was heading up, in the providence of God a deliverer was being prepared to take up the task at the opportune hour. Moses was first trained at his mother's knee, then in Pharaoh's court and finally under God's immediate hand in the desert. The latter was an indispensable part of his training. His learning in the wisdom of the Egyptians was helpful, but without the immediate tutorship of God he would have been a failure. All who are used of God must spend some time in the retirement of his presence. Two notable examples are Paul in Arabia and John on Patmos. I. The Lord Speaks to Moses in the Burning Bush (vy. 1-6). It was while keeping the flock of his father-in-law in the desert that the Lord appeared to Moses. Had he remained in Pharaoh's palace he never could have had the vision of the burning bush. This bush enveloped in flames, yet unconsumed, symbolized the people of God enswathed in the very fire of God, or God dwelling in the midst of an elect people. Moses steps aside to behold this strange sight, but must be taught the essential lesson of the proper approach to God. We now can approach God with boldness through Jesus Christ (Hebrews 10:19). Our God is a consuming fire. No evil can be permitted in his presence (Joshua 7; Acts 5). The Lord did not leave him long in suspense. He told him he was the God of his fathers, the covenant God. As soon as he knew it was God who was speaking to him he hid his face. The sight of God always causes sinful men to hide (Isaiah 6:5). II. Moses Commissioned as the Deliverer of His People (3-7-10). In the preamble of this commission God said to Moses: "I have seen the affliction of my people." This is always true (Psalms 22:24; 34:4, 6; Isaiah 63:9). "I have heard their cry." Not a cry ever goes up from a child of God unheard by him. "I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians." This shows that God is actively interested in the cause of his people. He graciously obligates himself: (1) To deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians. Egypt may be considered a type of the world; the oppression, a type of sin's bondage; and Pharaoh, a type of the devil. God delivers his own from the hands of the devil (Colossians 1:13). (2) To bring them up out of the land. God does not deliver and leave his own in the enemy's land, but brings them out into a land "flowing with milk and honey." (3) To bring them into a "good land and large." There is no loss in obeying God. When he brings us out of the enemy's land he brings us into a better land. III. Moses' Objections Patiently Heard and Removed (3:11; 4:10). 1. Personal Unworthiness (v. 11). He realized his insufficiency for this task. His forty years in the school of God have wrought a great change in him. His hesitancy is a good sign. Men who are really qualified to do a great work are not forward to begin it; e. g., Jeremiah, Martin Luther, George Washington. Moses did not refuse to go, but pled his difficulty before the Lord. God answered this difficulty by assuring him that he would be with him. When God is with a man the impossible becomes the possible. 2. The Difficulty of the People to Understand Moses' Relationship to God (3:13, 14). Moses knew how unwilling they were to acknowledge him as their deliverer forty years before Since God changes his name as he assumes a new relationship to his people, Moses inquired as to what that new relationship would be, and his corresponding name. The Lord promptly met this difficulty by showing him a name differing in many respects from all others previously given. This new name is "I Am." This name is from the Hebrew verb "to be." It indicates (1) God's self-existence; (2) his self-sufficiency; (3) his unchangeableness. 3. Unbelief on the Part of the People (4:1). This difficulty the Lord met by supplying him with credentials which could not be gainsaid. He was given the power to perform supernatural wonders (4:2). 4. Lack of Eloquence (4:10). This difficulty the Lord met by providing an assistant in his brother Aaron. Our Sadness. We ask God to forgive us for our evil thoughts and evil temper, but rarely, if ever, ask him to forgive us for our sadness. Joy is regarded as a happy accident of the Christian life, an ornament and a luxury rather than a duty.—R. W. Dale. The Human Heart The human heart is so constituted that it is only filled by the richness which flows from it—not by the richness which flows into it.—Agnes Edwards.

The Kansas City Post, now edited by Kansas City's foremost preacher and Publicist, Dr. Burris A. Jenkins, who saw much service in France and who thrilled hundreds of audiences with his magnificent and eloquent recital of oc: currences “Over There,” had the fol- lowing to say about Ye Humble Editor in its issue of last Thursday: “Kansas City possesses the finest natural orator in the West, if not in the whole United States. He has a voice like the diapason of a great or- gan. His personal presence is im- posing, superb, His ease and grace of gesture is not to be surpassed, and personal magentism radiates from him like ether waves from a wireless in- strument, His name is Nelson Crews and he is the Negro editor of the Kan. sas City Sun. Daniel Webster had nothing on him. William Jennings Bryan is not in it with him. Booker Washington, a cultivated man and a great speaker, couldn't approach him in natural graces and power on the platform.” ‘Thanks, Dr. Jenkins, may our labor: in behalf of a submerged race win both your approval and that of Almighty God and may we be permitted to say that the race congratulates the owners of The Post upon being able to secure the incomparable services of such a distinguished scholar and brilliant writer as yourself, WEIR CITY, KANS.

Whole Family Benefited By Wonderful Remedy By Wonderful Remedy There are many little things to annoy us, under present conditions of life. The hurry, hard work, noise and strain all tell on us and tend to provoke nervousness and irritability. We are frequently so worn out we can neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. We are out of line with ourselves and others as well. A good thing to do under such circumstances is to take something like Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills to relieve the strain on the nerves. Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, 82 Plum St. Atlanta Ga., writes: "I have on several occasions been wastily relieved by the use of my med- ical especially the Anti-Pain Pills, which I am constantly using, the use of myself, husband and two sons. Nothing in the world equals them as a headache remedy. Often I am enabled by the use of one or two of the Pills to continue my housework on the farm. I am in bed. My husband joins me in my praise of the Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine." Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are relied upon to relieve pain, nervousness and irritability in thousands of households. Of proven merit after twenty years' use, you can have no reason for being longer without them. *At all Drugglete, 25 doses 26 cents.* *MILES MEDICAL, CO., Eikhart, Ind.* FREE SUIT New 1918 Suit NOW OPEN DEL MAR CAFE 1705 Troost Avenue Best Meals in City, 25 Cents Chicken Dinner, 35 cents A trial is all we ask.

Like lightning from a clear sky came the news of the death of Colonel Roosevelt to us in our chapel exercises Monday. The school mourns his death and sympathizes sincerely with the bereaved. Commandant Jones immediately ordered the flag to be placed at half mast in recognition of the distinguished dead. The January public rhetoricals will be held in Studio auditorium on Friday evening, January 17, at 8 o'clock. The occasion will be "An Evening With Negro Composers." Among those from whom selections will be given are Burleigh, Cook, Coleridge Taylor, Dett, Dunbar, Burleigh, Kealing, Ransom, Corrothers and Jamison. The participants are well trained and a delightful and inspiring evening is assured all who come. Captain Ernest Latson honored us with a visit last Tuesday and spoke most interestingly at our chapel service. Having been a member of the faculty of Morehouse College, prior to entering the service, he was able to divine just what the students were in need of, and seldom has a talk been so genuinely enjoyed by all. He leaves next week for the East. It is perhaps known that he was acquitted of the unjust charges of insubordination, and would be in command here at Western University, had not the order for demobilization come. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA.

There will be a big mass meeting at Ebenezer Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock for the purpose of completing arrangements for the 300th anniversary of the landing of the first Negroes on American soil at Convention Hall, January 29. Bishop B. B. Parks is expected to preside. All citizens are invited to participate in this meeting. Ebenezer auxiliaries are preparing for an elaborate exhibit.

Club in their exhibits, Mrs. Beatrice Henderson, the wife of the pastor, Rev. W. S. Henderson, of Manhattan, being a former member of this club and its past treasurer. With Mrs. Ella Thurman and Brother C. C. Rather at the head of Ebenezer's financial rally, means that something is going to be done, because both are lovers of the church and energetic workers.

Just a few words about the great revival that is being conducted at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church, by Sister M. C. Harris, the great evangelist, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Our meeting began on watch night. She preached her first sermon on Thursday, the 2nd, and we have been having a great meeting from then up to this writing. We have already 21 conversions, and 22 addictions to the church, and the spirit is still high. She is a wonderful speaker, and the crowds are still growing. It is only to be regretted that the church cannot hold the people....Sunday, the 12th, will be a high day and we want to invite all to hear this wonderful woman. The meeting will continued until the 21st of this month. On the 12th, at 3 P. M., she will hold her famous wom- an's meeting and invite all of the women to hear the message..... If you want Christ, come to this meeting. If you are a Christian, come and help save some one else. For the Kingdom of God is looking for light bearers and workers. Come one, come all, for you are welcome. R. S. EVERETT, Pastor. GALILLEE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH. The pastor, Rev. A. Moore, offered his resignation. In the regular monthly business meeting Thursday night, January 2d, Rev. A. Moore was only present to open the meeting; he appointed Deacon W. M. McDonald to preside leaving his resignation in the hands of the clerk to read. After hearing it read, his resignation was not accepted and a most pathetic letter was sent to him by the church appealing to him not to leave. It is not known whether or not Dr. Moore will head the appeal. Sunday's services were good all day. Mr. Moore preached Sunday morning and Sunday night. The Sunday school was good and the B. Y. P. U., under the direction of Miss Cora Holemani, was well attended. A great lesson was taught by the pastor. ST. STEPHEN BAPTIST CHURCH.

During the day there were six additions to the church....During the evening services Professor Cox read a resolution from the Board of Trustees, thanking the choir and Mrs. Bacote for the excellent manner in which they conducted the Rallies in paying for the $2,500.00 Pipe Organ six months before the final note was due.

HOSPITAL ELECTS DIRECTORS. Jas. A. Baker. Contributions for the Tag Day Fund continue to come in and the president is pelased to announce that the contributions to date total $2,732.64, which is a splendid showing. The Board has arranged to issue beautiful certificates of membership to all those who contribute $1.00 or more to the institution during the fiscal year and the first certificate outside of the members of the Board who paid on the night of election goes to Mr. Robert Barnhill of 2201 Tracy avenue, who stopped in at the office of the Sun and paid the first dollar. The secretary, Mrs. Eva M. Fox, read a complete report of the business of the institution during the past year, which was highly gratifying and the Board ordered several thousand copieh printed for distribution among the friends and contributors to the hospital. TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER Ordinary Wire Screen Declared to Be the Best Backing That Can Be Employed. The electrician is frequently required, in the installation of wires in finished buildings, to cut holes here and there through the plastered walls or cellings. Before these holes can be replastered some sort of backing must be put in which will take the place of the lath. The majority of men make use of old rags or paper for this purpose. The writer, in replastering holes, uses a backing of ordinary wire screen. The wire should be cut about one-quarter inch larger than the hole to be filled, and when pressed into it will be found to make a good, stiff backing, as the edges hold it firmly in place. Far less plaster will be necessary with this backing than with the others, which will cover the cost of the wire screen, and a more workmanlike and durable job is obtained.—W. F. Perry, in Electric. World. Protection for Birds. Some twenty states of the Union have provided bird sanctuaries, or laws for the protection of migratory birds on their long flights in search of feeding places. The matter has even been made the subject of an international treaty between the United States and Canada affecting practically all birds that regularly migrate between the two countries. The treaty provides, in effect, that no bird important to agriculture because of insect-destroying proclivities shall be shot at any time. Second, that no open game season on any species of game shall extend for a longer period than $3\frac{1}{2}$ months. Third, that both the countries shall so restrict open seasons on game birds as to prevent them from being taken during the breeding season. Noah's Ark In China A curious Chinese picture is of great antiquity, and is supposed to represent Noah's ark on the top of Mount Ararat. As is well known, the religious literature of almost every nation and race contains an account of a deluge, but a Chinese manuscript recently unearthed follows very closely the story as recorded in the Bible. It is particularly interesting in that the roof of the Chinese ark is of the gable variety associated with the Noah's arks which prove such entertaining toys for our youngsters. The Chinese picture, however, shows a double-storied vessel, and, so far from there being only one window in the roof, there are windows in every possible space. It would be interesting if some Chinese scholar or antiquarian could discover the exact date of the drawing. Literature's Beginning in America. The North American Review was established in 1815; Bryant's "Thanatopsis" was published in 1817; and when the good-natured Monroe, after a presidency that was called "the era of good feeling," went out of office, although Whittier was still a boy on his father's farm, and Longfellow and Hawthorne were still undergraduates at Bowdow college, and Emerson was still a country schoolteacher, American literature was born. The thing was settled.—Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Her French. Her French. "I enjoyed your husband's humor so much. He is always chaffing, isn't he?" "Yes; I tell him he is quite a chauffeur." Dazing Him. "Attire makes the successful salesman." "I get you. Dazzle the customer with diamonds and then take his order." The Painful Part. "Jones doesn't want his wife to go away." "Feels the separation, no doubt." "Yes, from the necessary coin." Like an Explosion. "Good many strange girls scattered over town." "Yes," said the Plunkville citizen. "A comic opery company jest burst." Alas! She—Some people don't know what's good for them in this world. He—And some people do know but haven't the price to get it. A. E. MRS.
