"BLACK DEVILS" OF OLD 8TH KNOCK 'EM COLD IN N. Y. 1260 Negro Heroes of 2,500 Who Went Over Sing Way Up Harbor. FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. New York, Feb. 10.—The old Eighth Illinois is back; Chicago's fighting "Black Devils" back in the United States to create a stir, and they did it even in New York, where returning soldiers have long since ceased to be a novelty. By thy rivers gently flowing, Illinois, Illinois. O'er thy prairies verdant growing, Illinois, Illinois. Over the water of New York harbor the notes came floating; they set one's nerves a-tingle. "Till upon the inland sea, stands Chi cago great and free. Turning all the world to thee, Illinois Illinois. A band was playing out on the water and Negro volces were softly singing— heroes of today singing of heroes on the past: Some encamped at Chickamauga, Illi- inois, Illinois. Others fell at Santiago, Illinois, Illinois. They are heroes, heroes all, Illinois. The plaintive notes diminished as the big ocean liner La France swung into her moorings. A wild cheer broke from a thousand dusky throats, a gangplank dropped and the first fighting regiment from Illinois that has returned from overseas was back in the United States. Greeted With "Hot Time." By this time a band on the pier had opened up with "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," and the Negro band on the ship, which had played the songs of liberation in the stricken villages of France, had caught it up and joined in the strains. With oiled steel helmets gleaming above brown, shining faces; with white teeth flashing and sleeves a glitter with gold wound and service stripes, with hard won medals and decorations upon their coats, the regiment from Chicago's south side came swinging down the gangplank with that smooth rhythm of stride that only a Negro regiment can attain. "Black Devils" on Parade. "Black Devils," the Prussian guards who faced them called them, and they looked it. "The Partridges," their French comrades called them, and they looked that, too, for no cock partridge ever promenaded before his admiring harem with more class than did those fighting black boys from Illinois before the admiring army officers upon the pier—and before the hundred dusky New York maidens who packed the entrance to the pier. "The Partridges" had reason to be proud, for here's a fact that may well thrill the old South Side: The Eighth Illinois came back with twenty-two men among wearing the American D. S. C., while sixty-eight wore the croix de guerre. Army officers who met the ship said there were more decorations visible among the Eighth, or Three Hundred and Seventieth infantry, as it is now designated, than in any regiment which had so far returned to the United States. They are wild to get back to Chicago and they are eager to march through its streets. Just now a fear exists that they will not be able to do. Their fear is shared by their commander, Col. Thomas A. Roberts of 112 North Walnut street, Spring field, Ill., one of the three white officers of the regiment. Deserve Chicago Parade. "I understand there is a possibility that these boys may not get the opportunity to parade in Chicago," he said. "I hope something will be done to make that parade possible. If ever a set of men deserved a welcome home it is these boys. They've had their poses to the grindstone for months. They've fought and they've worked and they have seldom been on leave. They had been a patient lot, a glorious lot, and I hope it will be made possible for Chicago to give them the welcome they deserve." The regiment went to France with approximately 2,500 men from Chicago and Illinois and came back with 1,260. The other troops now in the regiment are from southern states, who took the places of men from Illinois who were shot down. There are ninety-five of the colored troopers, and one colored officer, who will never return to Chicago. They were killed on the battlefields of France. Loaded With Trophies. Those who did come back brought a good part of France with them. One had a dog, another a cat, and all, so the colonel said, had packed away in their kits, reams upon reams of silken Parisian lingerie which will cause the eyes of the dusky south side maidens to pop clear out of their heads when they see them. "Most of the boys fot three months' pay just before they left France, and I think most of them invested it all in silken lingerie for the girls back home. In those bundles they've got silk shirt waists, silk pajamas, silk stockings, and a lot of filmsy garments that I don't even know the name of. They certainly didn't forget the girls at home." Captain Marries in France. Capt. Stuart Alexander of 440 East Thirty-first street, however, left his heart in France. A few months ago he was married to a wealthy French girl at Grand Villers, according to the colonel and other members of the regiment. He has been commander of Company B of the old Eighth for fifteen years. The others said that the captain may return to France to live. The peasants of France worshiped the colored troops from Chicago, Col. Roberts said, and the French soldiers also liked them. During rest periods the dusky fighters often helped the French about their gardens, carried bundles for them, and generally made themselves agreeable and useful. "It was an old thing, but my colored boys didn't seem to have a bit of difficulty understanding the French or making themselves understood. It was the same way with the Italians when we were associated with them," he said. Called French "Deedoncks." "The French called my boys," 'Col. Roberts' Partridges,' and my boys called all the French "Deedoncks." They got it from the French expression, 'dis done,' a common way of introducing conversation, like "say" in English. "On the whole the French and the colored troops got along as if they had lived side by side for years, however, and in many towns the Chicago men were fairly worshiped." There was a reason for it at times. The Chicago colored men were the first troops to march into the French city of Laon when that fortress fell after four years of German occupation. Color Sergeant Mark Freeman of 3148 Jackson boulevard carried the first French flag into Laon. Beside him marched a French sergeant carrying the Stars and Stripes and the regimental colors of the Eighth Illinois. Bandmaster George Dulf led the band that marched at the head of the regiment into Laon, playing French national alrs as it marched, and finally breaking into "The Star Spangled Banner," then "Yankee Doodle," and finally "Dixie." French Kissed Their Hands. The French people of Laon knelt beside the riadway to kiss the hands of the Chicago colored men as they marched by, or broke into the ranks to kiss and embrace them. "Those deedonks jes' always got to be kissing somebody," declared one dusky private from the south side. The Eighth has kept a regiment history that should take its place among the archives of the military history of Illinois. It tells of the number killed and wounded, of the number of cannon and machine guns captured, of the deeds of daring of its members, and: "How many prisoners did the Eighth capture?" was asked of Lieut. Lewis Washington, the Eighth administrative officer. Lieut. Washington's face went blank, while the noncoms about looked up in pained surprise. "Oh, we didn't take any prisoners," explained Lieut. Washington seriously. "The boys didn't like to have any Germans around." Absolutely Off Germans. Even when the armistice was signed the colored troops from Illinois refused to have anything to do with the Germans. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1919 MISS ETHYL R. BLEDSOE The coming young poetess of St. Joseph, Mo., whose poem, "Pasttime Echoes," appears in this week's paper. "When that there armistice was signed the boches came over and ... led to shake hands with we all," ex plained a big sergeant. "We all drew a line on the ground and said: 'Now boche, you all stay on the other side of that line or you all 'll go to heaven armistice or no armistice.'" 92D CASUALTIES. The total casualties of the Ninety-second, colored, division has been estimated at 1,478. Among the killed were six officers. One officer and 31 enlisted men died from wounds received in action; 40 enlisted men died from diseases; 28 enlisted men are listed as "missing": 16 officers and 543 enlisted men were wounded; 29 officers and 661 enlisted men were gassed. The division's number of gassed is unusually large. A reason is, perhaps that the colored soldiers in the front line trenches of this division were unusually daring in making raids into the enemy's territory. Death Sentence Commuted For Officers. Washington, D. C.—Four Negro commissioned officers were tried in France for violation of article 75 of the war code. The men are Captain Daniel Smith, First Lieutenants Horace Robert Crawford, Robert W. Cheers and Second Lieutenant Robert E. Johnson. The sentence of the court was death by musketry. The verdict, however, was not unanimous, one-third of the number disagreeing. It was finally decided to recommend commutation of the sentence to ten and five years imprisonment to certain of the officers. The men are attached to the 3d Battalion, Company I, 268th Infantry. St. Paul Gets Dr. C. A. Williams of Denver, Colorado. Rev. C. A. Williams, pastor of Shorter Chapel A. M. E. Church, Denver, Col. has been transferred by Bishop Parks and stationed at St. Paul, St. Louis, the leading church of the denomination in the Fifth Episcopal District. Dr. Williams fills the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. W. B. Johnson and will entertain the General Conference in 1920. His former charge at Denver has not been filled, though it is rumored that the new pastor will be taken from Kansas City. Dr. Williams is a Kansas City boy, entered the ministry here and all Kansas City is proud of his remarkable success. Among the Shriners who came down from St. Joseph, Mo., last Wednesday evening to attend the annual party of Allah Temple, No. 6, were: Nobles A. D. Butler, J. E. Jones, Samuel Henson, Essex Allen, P. F. Haynes, P. A. McGaugh, C. A. Green, A. D. Harts, Henry Woodson, E. L. Lee, John Venable, D. C. Osborne. They were joined by Noble S. F. McGee, teacher of Manual Training school here, making as fine a body of men as ever attended an affair in this city. They were royally entertained by Prof. McGee while here. PROMINENT WOMEN OF KANSAS CITY ATTEND MEETING OF THE N. N. C. C. L. OF A. The Ladies Endorsed the the Object and Purpose of the League and Pledged Their Undivided Support in the Corning Membership Campaign. Campaign Begins March 1st, Ending March 22nd, 1919. A number of prominent women of Kansas City attended the meeting of the N. N. C. C. L. of A., held at headquarters, 1315 East Eighteenth street, Wednesday, 2:30 p. m. February 12th, 1919. The meeting was very enthusiastic and each one present promised their hearty support and co-operation in carrying out the great and much needed undertaking of the League. The object and purpose of the League is to see that the blood of our brave and noble soldiers who fought for world democracy shall not have been shed in vain by waging an unending and ceaseless light; using every honorable means to wipe out and eliminate discrimination and prejudice, Jim Crowism and distranchisement, mob violence and injustice from the United States of America forever. As their first movement they are circulating a mammoth petition asking the United States government to enforce by appropriate legislation the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution. It was for the above reasons that the ladies who visited Wednesday's meetin, pledged their support. It is for the above reasons that every true, loyal and race loving Negro man and woman in Kansas City is hereby asked to lend their support and aid in this worthy and timely cause. The membership campaign of the League, which is to be launched the first of March will, to a certain extent, be military in form; that is, there will be one hundred ladies who will act as generals. Each one of these generals will have under their direction ten captains. Each captain will be asked to recruit at least twenty-five members for the League. Each captain whose company reaches or exceeds its quota will be presented with an honor badge; each general whose division reaches or exceeds its quota will be presented with a distinguished honor badge. About forty-five ladies have volunteered to act as generals in this campaign; fifty or more are still needed. Every race woman who is willing and in a position to secure ten captains for this great army of justice is sincerely asked to get in touch with general headquarters and offer service. Every race woman who assisted in the hospital, Red Cross, War workers and other such campaigns, by any means, should not fall to lend the same as assistance to this cause which means so much to ourselves, our children and our future generation. The next meeting of the League will be held at general headquarters, 1315 East Eighteenth street, Wednesday, February 19th, at 2 p.m. Every lady who desires to lend her assistance in this movement is most cordially invited to be present. In conjunction with the great army of women that is being mobilized, there is being organized among the leading and most influential race men of the city an auxiliary to assist and co-operate with the women's divisions. The petition which is to be circulated by the N. N. C. C. L. of A. is to consist of twenty volumes in loose leaf ledger form. Each volume is to contain 1000 sheets with space on each sheet for fifty signatures, making in all when the petition is compiled a document containing one million signatures. After every person in Kansas City has been given the opportunity to sign this great document, different sections of it will be distributed in every part of the United States until it is fully signed. After this has been accomplished, the leading Negroes in different sections of the United States will be chosen and selected to accompany the presentation of this great petition to Congress. It has been asked by some feeble-minded people as to the good such a petition would do. The good that it will do to any broad-minded person is obvious. If the Negro does not pro test and petition for his rights; if he does not ask for justice while the great cry for democracy is being sung throughout the world, it will be many, many years before he will have such an opportunity again. One other thing the Negro should bear in mind, "Unity of action is what won the war; unity of action in peace will win this cause." Any person who is desirous of signing this petition and becoming a member of this great movement is most cordially invited to call at general headquarters, 1315 East Eighteenth street; Bell Grand 317, Home Main 3963. The list of generals and captains and the personnel of the men's committee will appear in the subsequent issues of the Sun. In summing up the entire object and purpose of the N. N. C. C. L. of A. and its calling up the leading and most influential Negro citizens of Kansas City for assistance and their support, we might say, they are simply endeavoring to make the United States of America a decent place for the Black Man to live in. BLUE TRIANGLE LEAGUE Y. W. C. A. All secretaries of Y. W. C. A. circles are requested to report full lists of members with addresses as soon as possible. Our temporary headquarters at the Y. M. C. A. are fast becoming a center of wide interest. Our office assistant is making up the membership roll for issuing the membership cards. Bring in your names. The Blue Triange League is a league for the girls of Kansas City—to give them a recreation center, to provide better housing conditions, to help them in their industrial occupations and a host of other things that will be taken up as work grows. Every woman and every girl from ten years up is interested and should step in and give your membership to the office assistant, Mrs. Jean Mc Campbell. NOTICE! To Whom It May Concern: We wish to correct a statement in the last issue of The Sun that the women of the Christian Church gave $22 or more through the Jacksonian Club at the "Y" February 4th for which we have been called upon to account for. The women that joined from the Christian Church of which I am a member does not number twenty-three. They paid $1 each, as did the women from the various churches for which entitles them to membership along with the rest of us. We have at this time one hundred and twelve members and $112 and a volunteer contribution of $5 from Mrs. C. L. Simpson, 4525 Walnut street, through a member of the club, Miss Bessie Jackson, making a total of $117. For further information, call Wabash 1902. Mrs. R. P. Jackson, Pres. Miss Nannie Isaacs, Sec'y. Miss Ruth Hamilton, registered nurse of this city, writes the following poem from the boys "over there," which she believes will be encouraging to the girls who were left behind: The French girls are pretty as we The French girls are pretty, as we understand. And to please you or tease you, they are simply grand: So you girls back home need not feel a bit hurt. The best for us this present day Are the girls in the old U. S. A. Corporal Norman Williams writes: "I would not marry a French girl—America first." Encouraging, girls, isn't it? St. Louis, Mo.-Mr. and Mrs. Malone and Poro College were again honored by a special program being given to welcome them to the community. It was under the auspices of the Elleardsville Civic League at St. James A. M. E. Church last Sunday evening. Nearly all of the 150 employees weer epresent to show their appreciation of the honor bestowed upon them. One of the most beautiful features, of the program was a chorus by a number of boys and girls, after which they presented Mr. and Mrs Malone a huge bouquet of beautiful flowers. "Jim Crow Bill" Dead. Jefferson City, Mo.—The House Bill known as the "Jim Crow Bill," which invariably makes it appearance at every session of the Legislature, was promptly killed in the committee room last Monday, both the Republicans and decent Democrats giving it a kick. Some "Hill Billy" with usually more guts than brains introduces this measure each session with the hope of attracting a little attention, and it is sincerely hoped that Democracy will eventually purge itself of this class of bothersome asses. Much credit is due the following committee which appeared in opposition to the Bill: J. B. Coleman, R. R. Ragan, Rev, M. C. Scruggs State Committeeman Weil and Dr. W. J. Thompkins. PROF. COOK RETURNS TO KAN SAS. CITY. On Monday Mrs. Cook received a radio message from mid-ocean that Mr. Cook was enroute, having sailed from Brest on the Leviathan which reached New York Tuesday. Mr. Cook had a fine trip over. He will arrive Saturday morning, after eleven months' absence. On December 16th Mr. Cook was cited for decoration of the Distinguished Service Cross for risking his life in rescuing wounded in the great drive in the Champagne when the 371st Infantry with which he was serving led in the charge that drove the Boches out of this region and gave the Americans possession of one of the most important strategic points of the whole line from Flanders to Switzerland. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 14, 1918.—Two of Louisville's most prominent Negro citizens, A. B. MsAfee, undertaker and business man, and Joseph Potter, Jr., a promising young poet and writer, died the past week. We have an opening at once for a good live, hustling ad man, a competent and intelligent collector and reporter for KANSAS CITY, KANS., and ARGEN-TINE, and a keen, active City Reporter who knows how to get the news.

Kansas City's Bachelor Boys' Club has always occupied a place near the head of the list of Kansas City's popular social clubs and on last Friday night, February 7, they proved their right to the same, the occasion being their tenth semi-annual party in Lyric hall. To say that this was the swellest affair of its kind seen in Kansas City for some time is putting it mildly. Invitations were sent to 300 guests and how unanimously they were accepted was evidenced by the fact that when the grand march was announced the spacious hall was practically filled. At 10 o'clock the grand march, headed by the Bachelors themselves and their ladies, and from then until 2 a. m. beautiful ladies gorgeously arrayed in evening gown were guided about the polished floor by gallant men, in full dress attire, in a series of dreamy waltzes, jazzing one-step and syncopating schottisches, etc., to the harmonizing melodies of Roland Bruce's full orchestra. The entire hall was very tastily decorated, from the canopy outside the entrance to the dressing rooms, the Bachelors' Club color, deep purple, being used throughout, while a profusion of palms, ferns and beautiful flowers added an Oriental touch. The Bachelors also wore their colors. After the dance the Bachelors and their ladies motored to the Cafe De Luxe and there banqueted till the wee sma' hours. The cafe and tables were also beautifully decorated and the scene there was a fitting climax to a night spent in merrymaking, and when only a few short hours before the gray dawn of the morning, the party again entered taxis and motored to their respective homes, everyone was searching for words to describe the affair. Taken all in all, the event was an enormous success and will be long remembered by the fortunate guests who attended. The high class which was in evidence everywhere, the excellent service, the decorations, and the excellent management of the entire affair bespeaks volumes for the Bachelors themselves and gave true evidence of the unstinting spirit with which this club entertains. The following popular young men comprise the club: Officers—Shannon Drumm, president; James Smith, treasurer; James Williams, secretary. Members—Eugene Rummons, J. McCullough, Walter W. Smith, Ralph Wright, J. E. Miller, J. Williams, Elmer Green, William Frederick, Arthur Toney, Floyd Collins, Steve Lane, C. Porter, George Pearson, James L. Scott, James Smith, Herbert Smith, Elvin Irwin, G. Ashworth, Neal Foung, Shannon Drumm, Thomas Whibby, Edward Pryor, Tracy Scott, Clyde Bell, Johnnie L. Miller. Benedicts—Homer Eblon, Clarence Mayes, Henry Dillard. AT DEBATE. "Should have full suffrage" checks and Mrs. W. A.

We are those, who one time lingered On the stage of youth so fair; Who once gazed on sights so wondrous That were floating through the air. Now we've reached the halls of fame, No more on the stage of action. Will we strive to make a name. Well, those "Echoes" how they greet me; I will follow where are they call. Like the harp of "David" playing, On my ear drums they do fall. Then when I am left in silence, When the sun sinks in the West, May I hear those "Echoes" sweetly Calling me to blissful rest. Ah, those dear old "Past-time Echoes," Hark! be still, there seems to say We have gone across the Jordan, On another stage to play. Oh, the stage, the stage of action— It is great, 'tis great to see; But haste with me to the stage Where "Past-time Echoes" call for thee. Yes, the growing grasses wither, Temples fall and earth decays, Ages pass and nations falter, All within one life's short day, Roses bloom and tree tops totter, Day and night dissolves away, "Past-time Echoes" live forever In the land of fadeless day.

Amasa Knox, last Sunday.) We praise the dashing soldier, who with patriotic pride and sturdy manhood, wrests victory from defeat. We are charmed with the golden words of the matchless orator, as he lashes the hearts of his audience into a whirlpool of rage, or bids them with "Peace be still." We look with pride to the statesman in the hour of national and international conflict, who through the masterly strokes of his diplomatic genius, guides us safely from the sand bars of national disaster. The historian, the philosopher, the explorer, the high class sportsman, if you please, the devoted husband; all these have added their part to the development and progress of mankind, yet few men of the world have combined so harmoniously all of these characteristics as were found in the hero of this moment, Theodore Roosevelt. The soldier is unworthy of that appellation, the orator's words die with him, the diplomat soon perishes from memory, and the husband is eternally hated, unless the active and just man is the character behind all of these concompetants. Such was the man Roosevelt: such was his character. The advocacy "All men up rather than some men down," is one of his sayings uttered at a time when he was being criticised, especially by the South; at a time when he sought to give recognition to worthy colored men and women. "Step lightly and use the big stick," was another of his sayings, and perhaps this saying more nearly typifies his character as a public man than any other. His activity carried him in every legitimate field of human endeavor and thought. When he first appeared in the New York legislature, he arrayed himself against the system of the most powerful public men of that time. They saw in him a force of character with which they had to reckon; a force which must be crushed, and thus the most powerful man of that state planned his defeat and ruin and his elimination as a public man. But the seeds of his character had already burst their confines and the flower of true manhood had sprung up like the tender plant on the slopes of the Alps, which in the springtime bursts its way through the slowly creeping glacier to kiss the lifegiving sun. I shall never forget the last time I saw Mr. Roosevelt. It was in the home of Mr. Kirkwood of the Kansas City Star in Kansas City, in 1917. He had come to Kansas City to speak to its citizens on some phase of the war. I was fortunate to be among the gentlemen who waited upon him. He stood there the picture of a great soul. He regretted that the colored citizens would not be permitted to hear his speech. He spoke of his war plans which he had no power to consummate, and how much he desired to see Colonel Young head a colored regiment at the front. He mentioned the Brownville affair and how he was criticised at the time of that occurrence and how delighted he was to note the change of feeling of the colored people on that affair. We who saw him on that occasion knew full well that Roosevelt would have at that moment repeated his action in that case had he been in position to do so and had the occasion arisen. Roosevelt was not only a man of a great soul and character, but he was a man of discipline. He was a constant son of the government; he was the embodiment of the highest character under the discipline of freedom and liberty. The life of Roosevelt typifies the highest product of our history. He was a man whose body had been trained to be the ready servant of his mind; whose passions were trained to be the servant of his will; he enjoyed the beautiful, he loved truth, he hated wrong, he knew the beauties of home life, and thus became one of our greatest advocates of the perpetuity of the marital vows and obligations, and propagation of the human species. The purity of home and the care of children were among some of his strongest doctrines, and against the father who neglected his children, he was as bitter and as pronounced as he was against the unlawful Trusts and combines. He was born of an aristocratic family, yet his great efforts were to harmonize the feeling between the capitalist and the laborer. In the very beginning of the world's war in Europe, with that forethoughtfulness of a statesman, he saw that war between Germany and the United States was inevitable. Thus he began to preach preparedness. When others said that we were too proud to fight, Roosevelt said only cowards refused to fight when the provocation was sufficient, and my friends, I make bold the assertion, that Roosevelt, the private citizen and the man, did more to stimulate this country for the emergency she finally had to face in that war, than any other force in our land. It was his indomitable character that raised him upward. "As some tall clift that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale and midway leaves the storm; Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on his head." Such was the name of Roosevelt; such is the name and such is the form of Roosevelt; and God grant that though dead, his spirit may fall like the mantle of Elijah upon one worthy to inherit his greatness; that through his remarkable character there may come the day of a new freedom. But he is not dead, he cannot die while his essential spirit lives; while one man counts another his brother, he shall not die. Then, my friends, on this day so essentially his own, let us conservative ourselves anew, to the service of our country, let us decide to grow like Roosevelt in his truth, in his independence, in his religion and his humanity. Then the character by which he died shall be in us, and by it we shall live. Then peace shall come that knows no conflict; and law that knows no color; and full of his spirit, a grateful people shall gather around his tomb, and in the daily psalms of prosperous and righteous living, thank God forever for the life of the man, Roosevelt. Were I a poet, I would sing of Roosevelt in lines more lasting than the pyramids of Egypt, more sublime than the Collicieux of Rome. I would depict him writing his last message to his countrymen on the night of his death, then wrapping his mantle about him, he mounted his fiery steed and hasten away to hit "The long, long trail," and to join the galaxy of great and noble spirits who had preceded him. PROMINENT GUEST RETURNED HOME—HAD DELIGHTFUL STAY Mrs. Nellie Young, Kansas City, Mo., who spent several weeks in her old home, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Andrews, 816 Cleveland, returned to the "Show Me" state Tuesday night, accompanied by her adopted sister, Mrs. Estelle English-Addison, and daughter, little Geraldine, who will reside with her permanently. While here Mrs. Young was the recipient of many social hospitalities and courtesies, among them being a complimentary luncheon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Johnson, 1705 Genesee; another given by Mesdames Cora Woods-Allen and Willie Hamilton at the Woods home; an outing and overland trip to Galveston as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Andrews, Personnel of the Island City trip: Misses Velma Strickland, Edna Banks, Mrs. Phil Herbert, Mrs. Young, the guest of honor; Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Andrews and Mr. Henry Smith, chauffeur. After partaking of refreshments at the Oleander drug store the party motored back to the Magnolia City. Mrs. Young received many valuable presents, as tokens of love and respect, while here, the chief gifts being a silver olive fork by Mesdames Allen and Hamilton and an everlasting token by Dr. and Mrs. M. H. Whitby. Being of such a lovable and companionable disposition, it was with much reluctance that we consented for "our little Nellie" to leave us. Despite her residence in Kansas City, we will ever cherish and refer to her as "our little Nellie," for this is her native city. Here's hoping that her visits to the Magnolia City will be frequent and of long duration.—Houston Observer. THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. By A. B. Pittman. It is surprising how small a piece of ground is needed to supply a family of the average with fresh vegetables through the whole season. A piece of ground, say, thirty feet by forty feet, will do it. In these days of high prices there are many sorts of vegetables that it more than pays to grow at home. In comparison with the ridiculously small cost, the return surely does warrant the effort. How it can be done. The preparation of the plot is the first consideration. The ground must be well worked up, all sticks, stones and large lumps removed and in most instances it will be necessary to turn under a goodly amount of stable manure or humus. Pick a well drained spot in the yard where the sun shines all day long and there are no shade trees, for vegetables as well as flowers need plenty of sunshine, plus lots of cultivation and then some more cultivation. All good gardens have a plan. Draw a plan of your garden to a scale on paper, to give proper order in planting, to enable you to buy the right amount of seed, to group plants needing the same culture, to give you a complete record for next year. In purchasing seed, the best should always be purchased regardless of price, and seed should be purchased only from reliable seedsmen. Seeds should be of the previous season's growth. Seed should always be sown in straight rows regardless of where the planting is made. The seedlings will be more uniform in size and shape if this is done and thinning can be more easily accomplished. How shall I plant or lay out the bed? Why not try this way: Half a pint of war beans planted, say in two rows followed by a half pint of green podded kinds. One row of early cabbage (use plants). One or two quarts of peas—early and late, in two rows. One row of early beets. Follow peas and beets with a planting of late cabbage. Half a row of radish, early round, half a row of long white or red. One-half row of lettuce, curled leaf, half row of head lettuce. One row of onion sets. Follow onion, radish and lettuce with eggplant, pepper, turnip, one row of cucumber early and late. One row of tomatoes. Four rows of sweet corn, early and late, squash, pumpkins, etc. [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. HERMAN One of Kansas City's progressive you everything "From Overseas."

The chorus to the song composed by Homer Pigg and Captain George when the 806th Infantry was first sent to the firing line is as follows: The 806th was in its prime The day they went upon the firing line; And to show them that they would not slack, They began to load up their rifles and unsling their pack. And they raved and they craved, They wanted to put old kaiser in his grave; And to show that they were right And willing to fight—they wanted to fight Him in the morning and fight him in the night, Drive him back to Berlin and make him treat the American right, 'Cause a Regiment like the 806th is hard to find.

There is talk of going home But the boys want to go to Rome; When they get home and settle down Oh, how they will look for the browns. They had a lovely time in old France In U. S. A. they would not take a chance. You take it from me everything was high, You would have to pay $1.00 for a pie. We went to Paris, France, to take lunch And Rockefeller could not have stood the punch— A bowl of beans, a red hair would follow, That would cost you about ten dollars. Eggs were bad and the beef was very rare. The bread they could not spare. When I get home and take off my --- L. KINSLER lung business men and a live wire in the undertakes. O.

Penn writes "I am one of the proudest young men of the world. I wouldn't take a million dollars for my experience. I have had a great task before me but I think I have accomplished my part. Our race of people have accomplished much in this world's war. Not only did a third of the race get to the front, but our women at home did their bit. We all responded without hesitancy. I am praying for the day when we can all assemble and know what success means. There is not a doubt about having leaders because we have men in our race that can lead us in anything comes up. History will never tell all that we have done but we must all work together and we will get just what we have been waiting for. My comrades join with me in thanking all for the good deeds rendered for the welfare of the Negro soldier." Private Edward Nevils of Company G, 805th Pioneer Infantry, writes: "I enjoy nothing more than reading a copy of The Kansas City Sun my home paper, and I am especially in love with Betty & Sam's Column. We are still in France awaiting orders. All the boys send best regards to relatives and friends. The spirit of our Company is very high and has been from the time we entered the service; no doubt due to the religious services conducted by Private Connie Polk of Texas and Private Edw. Nevils of Kansas City. Christmas was a very happy day and the boys enjoyed receiving their Christmas packages with as much interest and enthusiasm as the little boys and girls enjoyed their presents from the Christmas tree. Our Glee Club stands second to none by having some of the best talent from the dear old U. S. A. among whom we highly appreciate the service of Private Arthur Chaney of Cleveland, Ohio. The whole company is looking forward to an early return and we especially appreciate the many prayers offered up in our behalf by our dear beloved American people and we ask a continuance of the same."

We are gratified to learn through the columns of The Sun of the stand taken by Dr. Burris Jenkins, Editor of the Post, in regard to the matter of capitalizing the word Negro. We are especially interested in the matter at this time because a similar victory has just been won here. Both of our leading dailies, The Republican and The Leader, have consented to give up the use of the small "n" when using the term Negro. They have also agreed not to use the term "negress," and will from now on prefix the title "Mrs.," "Madam" or "Miss" when referring to members of our race of the feminine sex. We took up several other matters of interest to the race and all of our requests were granted without hesitancy by the editors of these two great papers. With such men as Dr. Jenkins of the Post, Mr. Jewell of the Springfield Leader and Mr. McJimsey of The Springfield Republican in the state we have much to hope for. We also want to congratulate you for the part which we are advised you played in the fight there. Sincerely yours, Springfield, Mo., Br. N. A. A. C. P. Per A. L. Foster. "HELLO", HELLO", HELLO".

Betty & Sam's Little Corner —That if you haven't been to Love's Theatre, you've missed something. —That a man soon loses his friends when they find out he's broke. —That some people have been doing without coal all winter to burn some gasoline this summer. —That two young ladies with whom a certain popular soldier has been corresponding are losing sleep wondering which will be lucky girl when he returns. —That a worthy organization recently organized among Colored women is about to be wrecked over the eternal "color" question which will bob up in Negro women's organizations. —That a certain man who had been putting much emphasis on "class distinction" had his skeleton pulled out of the closet and so prominent was he (the skeleton) that he went into his hole like a groundhog when he sees his shadow. —That the Colored women have recently petitioned the Court to insert a clause in the marriage ceremony which reads, "thou shalt not black thy wife's eyes." And if the women keep killing up their husbands they will ask for life preservers. That a certain society lady who had been hearing rumors concerning her husband and another lady took it into her head to go over to the latter's house and give her a good flogging. When she got there, and was admitted, Betty and Sam don't know what happened, as they stood on the outside, but the first lady mentioned came running out of the house without her hat or coat and with her hair torn down and face scratched up. Betty thought she had had enough and left. Call West 380. —That a well known club in this city was almost disrupted over whether the husband should have had a divorce from his wife who in her sleep kept crying out, "Kiss me, Harry, kiss me," but as his name was not Harry, the majority felt that he was entitled to a decree.

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 vastly relieved by the use of my medical specialist the Anti-Pain Pills, which I use consistently and 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. I have been relieved. 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 Druggists, 28 desces 28 cents. *MILES MEDICAL, CO. Elkhart, Ind. MRS. L. J.

Mrs. Nabor—Yes, indeed; there ought to be an ordinance to prevent their talking together. One is unable to hear what the extra is about because one chap drowns the other out, after you've caught a couple of words. Usually What He's Up To. "Whenever I see the proprietor of a restaurant advancing toward me with a fountain pen in his hand I fear the worst." "Fear the worst?" "Yes. The chances are that he's going to mark up a few more prices on the menu card before I can order my dinner." Liable to Start Any Time Professor's Wife—My husband is, as usual, in his laboratory conducting chemical experiments. The professor expects to go down to posterity. (From laboratory) Br-r! Bang! Caller (startled)—I hope the professor hasn't gone. Mrs. Heckell (ironically, as hubby arrives home at 4 a. m.)—Well! Is it possible that all the bright, brilliant, clever, witty, sparkling orations are finished so soon?" Mr. Heckell (fervently)—I hope so, dear! Taking No Chances. Prospective Lodger—What's the rent of this room, including the use of the piano? Landlady—I can't say offhand. You must play me something first. His Explanation. Cynic—So your airship was wrecked in the blizzard. I thought you considered it perfect. "The ship was perfect," replied the inventor stiffly. "The air was at fault." POLITICS BOILING AT CAPITAL CITY POLITICS BOILING AT CAPITAL CITY CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR BE-ING CHOSEN NOW BY FAR-SIGHTED POLITICIANS. JUDGE GRAVES A FAVORITE Schmoll and Kiel of St. Louis Mentioned as Probable Aspirants—Democrats Have to Fight to Retain Power. Jennerson City, Mo. Embryonic candidates for state offices to be nominated and elected next year already are being discussed here by Democratic and Republican members of the legislature. The senatorial victory of Selden P. Spencer last November made the G. O. P. leaders confident that the executive mansion will be occupied in 1921 by a Republican. The Democrats admit that they have a fight on hand to retain power. Members of the old guard, who have been doping elections for the last quarter of a century declare the success of the Republicans last November will be no criterion to dope out the next race for governor. They argue the wet and dry issue is settled and consequently there will be no incentive for the brewers of the big towns to spend their money to elect a Republican. This may be true and may be a good argument from the rural standpoint, but the fact remains that Gov. Gardner won by a very close vote and Folk was defeated by a large margin. Judge Waller W. Graves, who was re-elected last November to the supreme bench, is being discussed as the Democratic candidate for governor. John W. Atkinson who is in and out of the capital a great deal, is also prominently mentioned. Arthur N. Lindsey of Trenton, who last fall read of his own death in the newspapers is said to be slated as one of the starters. The Shannon and Pendergast forces in Kansas City will press the claims of Mayor James Cowgill. Lieutenant Governor Wallace Crossley has already thrown his hat into the ring. Benjamin Neale of Greenfield would not have to be urged to make the race, according to the statements of some of his friends. Some time ago a few newspapers in the state started a quiet little boom for Senator Michael Kinney, but he put a quietus on it. So much for the Democrats. In the Republican ranks E. E. E. McJimsey of Springfield, should have the nomination sealed and delivered, as he has stepped aside to satisfy the ambitions of others on more than one occasion. Mayor Henry W. Kiel of St. Louis is said to desire further political preferment, and can count on the help of John Schmoll, who wants to be the next mayor of the big city. Walter S. Dickey of Kansas City, defeated by Jim Reed for the senate, is being mentioned for the chair. Jacob L. Babler, the Republican National Committeeman, is being boomed in several sections of the state, but it is said that he is willing to succeed himself on the big committee. Appoints Managers. Gov. Gardner has made the following appointment of members of the boards of managers of various state institutions, each to serve four years: Confederate Home, B. F. Murdock of Platte City and George W. Langford of Marshall; Fulton Asylum for the Insane, R. M. White of Mexico and J. D. Hereford of Odessa; St. Joseph Asylum, Dr. Arthur Nelson of Princeton and T. J. Berry of St. Joseph; Nevada Asylum, M. F. M'David of Springfield and J. M. Yeater of Nevada; Farmington Asylum, M. C. Bell of Potosi and R. B. Anderson of St. Louis; Fulton Institute for Deaf and Dumb, J. A. Levell of Fulton and David Masters of Perry; St. Louis School for the Blind, Col. Martin J. Collins and Dr. Joseph W. Charles, both of St. Louis. Bonds for Light Plant. Marshall.—At last Marshall is to build, own operate a city light plant. Seventy-five thousand dollars in bonds were voted for that purpose several months ago, and the money is now available, and will furnish work to a number of returned soldiers. Construction of the plant on the site of the city waterworks will begin in the early spring. Boosters Meet at Poplar Bluff.

Williams, who departed this life two years ago, February 16, 1917. The month of February again is here To us the saddest of the year, Because it took from us away Our dearest one, two years ago today. God called him home, it was His will But in our hearts he lingered still, For us he always did his best. May God grant him eternal rest. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our saintly mother, Mary Kennedy, who died in the fullness of her religious faith, February 11, 1912: Softly breathe her name to us, Ah, we loved her so; Gentle let your tribute be. None may better know Her true worth than we who weep O'er her as she lies asleep, Soft asleep. Faith above the waters swirl She has crossed the bar, Earth has lost a precious pearl, Heaven has gained a star That shall ever sing and shine 'Till it quells this grief of mine For love. Serena Hegwood, Martha Kennedy Mosely, Blanche Kennedy, Cleopatra Hicks, Horace G. Kennedy, John N. Kennedy, Charles A. Kennedy, Poet Kennedy, Children CARD OF THANKS. I desire to express my heartfelt gratitude to may many good friends for the kindness and sympathy they showed me during the illness and passing out of my darling husband, Mr. Allen Moore, who departed this life February 6, 1919.

The Cavendish Whist Club met Tuesday at the residence of Mrs. Perry, Monday, on North Fifth street. An enjoyable time was had. Mrs. Ruth Bradley Sanford received a telegram stating that her husband, Capt. L. O. Sanford, arrived from overseas to New York and is expected in Kansas City within two weeks.

And we hope to be united with you in heaven above. Sadly, we are not here. To Renew Land's Fertility In the San Luis valley of Colorado there is an area from 400,000 to 500,000 acres which has almost completely been deprived of fertility in a seemingly mysterious manner. This condition has been investigated by Dr. W. P. Headden of the Colorado agricultural experiment station, and he attributes this condition to the so-called "black alkali," composed largely of sodium carbonate. This carbonate is carried in the waters of the valley, including the rivers and the artesian wells, and the practice of subirrigation has brought it to the surface by capillarity and evaporation. Doctor Headden suggests that the remedy lies in a conversion of the carbonates into sulphates by the use of a liberal amount of gypsum to one pound of black alkali—and downward washing by means of surface irrigation with furrows or by flooding. Hand Shaking. The practice of clasping or joining right hands as a pledge of sincerity or as a seal of a promise is of very early origin. The apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Galatians, says: "And when James, Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and to Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen." In this case, evidently, a friendly agreement was sealed by giving the right hands of fellowship. From this the custom of giving the right hand of fellowship upon suitable occasions spread throughout Christendom and joining right hands became a part of the Christian marriage ceremony. The custom of hand shaking certainly existed before Shakespeare's day, for he refers to it many times as a kind of pledge or social greeting. It is not confined to English-speaking nations. When Alchemy Flourished. The cult of alchemy was at its zenith during the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries, holding the place with many that religion did with others. People believed implicitly in the existence of the philosopher's stone, and pinned their faith to its potency to an incredible extent. It was, of course, in the great majority of cases, simply a matter of suggestion accepted by those who were on the outlook for the means of increasing wealth. And there were many who drew no distinction between the philosopher's stone, which was supposed to have the power of transmitting the base into the noble metals, and what was called the elixir of life, a substance which would promote and preserve health and increase longevity. Thus the appeal was also made to credulity through the desire for health and the fear of disease. Measuring the Height of Clouds. A scientist attached to one of the bureaus at Washington has been engaged in measuring the height of clouds by photography. Simultaneous pictures of a cloud were made by two cameras placed 600 feet apart and connected by telegraph wires. From the amount of displacement of the cloud caused by viewing it alternately from each end of the 600-foot base line its height could be calculated. Some of the "mackerel sky" clouds photographed were seven mrd a quarter miles high. The loftiest clouds whose elevation was thus measured belonged to the type known as cirrus, or "curl cloud," the height of which was a little more than seventeen miles. MARY C. MITCHELL.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITORIALS Read our ads, carefully. The value of life is to improve one's condition. Quite a few relatives and friends of officers and men of the Old 8th Illinois, now the 370th Infantry, are preparing to go to Chicago to assist in welcoming them home when the date is announced of the arrival in that city. COWARDLY LEADERS That Kansas City has a number of cowardly Negro leaders was conclusively evidenced last week by their refusal to write a line of appreciation on the attitude of the Post in capitalizing the word "Negro." Some plead lack of time to prepare an article, some feared political entanglements, some couldn't see where they were going to get anything financially out of it and some were too trifling to be concerned in the race's welfare. Ta! ta! "leaders." The members of Allen Chapel regret exceedingly the loss of Rev. Arthur Johnson and his charming wife, Mrs. Lena Mosely Johnson, who go to Great Falls, Mont., to take charge of the A. M. E. Church there. Rev. Johnson has been the president of the Y. P. C. A. of Allen Chapel for several years and Mrs. Johnson has been the leading soprano in Allen's famous choir. She possesses a wonderful voice of unusual range and sweetness and is a pipe organist of much ability. The people of Great Falls are to be congratulated upon having this excellent couple in their midst and The Sun predicts for them instantaneous success. HARVEY'S MINSTRELS Harvey's minstrels are back at the Boyd, giving a bang-up entertainment to the delight of the crowds that assembled yesterday. The organization is well calculated to revive all the merriment and monkeyshines of the traditional minstrel show, at the same time preserving the modern notions of ragtime and jazz, so that everybody can have a little something as the program rolls along. Clarence Powell and Ed. Tolliver still lead the funmaking, each supreme in his own way, but Frank Kirk, Joe Means and other comedians contribute to the laughter. Kirk's musical act is one hard to equal, and Joe Means' song about "Somebody Done Me Wrong" brings a riot even Bert Williams would be proud of. Little Miss Cannon does a buck and wing dance of the old-fashioned sort that really is a treat in these days when that sort of footwork is seldom seen. In the olio are a number of specialty acts, each worth watching, while the singing is of high order and very enjoyable. The engagement is for four nights, and another matinee will be played on Wednesday—Omaha (Neb.) Bee, Dec. 16, 1918. This company will be at the Auditorium Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday February 23, 25, 26. THE HOME OF THE MAYOR FOR SALE—PRICE $1,800.

"De Gang" Is Rounded Up by MILWAUKEE.—As the patrol stopped before passers-by stopped to gaze curiously as the Out stepped a burly policeman and a sheep In reply to a complaint of the South Jersey Commuters' association the management says the running time of trains cannot be shortened unless styles of skirts change. Taking or leaving a train anywhere is no easy task for the tight-skirted woman, but in New Jersey it is serious business. The equipment there is largely old Pullmans converted into day coaches. Formerly a porter put a stool under the bottom step, but there is no stool or porter now and the women have fairly to throw themselves into the arms of the brakemen in detraining. In entraining the situation is even worse. Everybody knows that railroad companies tell the truth at all times, even concerning a delayed train. So this deplorable situation in New Jersey must be accepted as having more or less foundation of fact. And it opens up questions of more than local importance. For example: Does the economy in skirt material even up for the extra expense to the railroads? What would happen if the Pennsylvania company should use modern cars in New Jersey? Would the train schedules get back to normal or would the skirts get another reef? "De Gang" Is Rounded Up by the Police Patrol MILWAUKEE—As the patrol stopped before the central police station passers-by stopped to gaze curiously as the "criminals" were unloaded.

The policeman on the beat, having heard complaints for several weeks about the escapades of the "gang," decided to give them a scare, so called out the real, honest-to-goodness patrol wagon, rushed them all off to the police station, and held them there until Captain Sullivan arrived. The discipline didn't work very well, though, for the boys, considering the whole affair an exciting adventure, enjoyed themselves hugely, talking to the detectives and officers, and storing up information to retail to their friends about the "pleace station." Everybody made pets of them—until the captain came. It was a meek little group of kiddies that filed out of the captain's office, which they had entered with such a swagger. Captain Sullivan, to whom the distracted policeman had related his troubles at the hands of the "little imps," made them understand a few things about endangering other people's property, and evidently they took it to heart. Those of the boys who had not participated in the building of the bonfire, but merely came along as witnesses, were as chastened as the culprits. Only the two elder boys, fourteen and fifteen years old, were held at Detention home. The others being too little to find their way home finished up the day gloriously by a ride back in the chief's automobile, with the long-suffering policeman as nurse maid in charge.

The Pennsylvania railroad, which reduces the operation of trains to scientific accuracy of detail, has found that since the women have begun wearing tight skirts the average train stop is now 17 seconds longer than when skirts were short and loose.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1919. Coming Silks Cast Their Shimmer Before P ECONOMY CORNER We shall have plenty of chances to run after strange new gods in silk weaves; some of them glorious products of looms set to new tasks. There are wonderful silks among the novelties for spring; knitted-looking fabrics and familiar silks woven in an amazing variety of new patterns. Printed silks are slated for the new season and foulards in lovely colors are figured with flowers and leaves and made up often with plain georgette, in such lovely frocks that there are not two opinions as to their success. Their triumph is assured. Even tricot is shown in printed patterns and various tricot weaves proclaim that manufacturers foresee a vogue for this material greater than that it has already had. In cross bars of contrasting colors it is best adapted to sport wear, but in plain colors it makes a handsome dress for the street. In the vanguard of silk frocks for spring there are the taffetas that women watch for and in which they have an abiding interest. Nothing so far has supplanted the taffeta frock. It holds its own because it is so wearable; that fs, it is a versatile gown suited to many of the goings on that occupy the time of the women of today. The two-piece dress—or suit— Blouses of georgette crepe are at least as numerous as any other kind, and become solled as quickly. But they require special, but not difficult, treatment in washing and ironing. This is a work that women do for themselves, and it is worth while to do this work for chiffon, light weight silk, satin and lace blouses. Nearly everyone has learned something of the art of tinting or dyeing blouses, when time and wear fade those that are colored or yellow those that were white. Women who have learned how to launder their own fine blouses turn them out as good as new after unnumbered washings, or tint them into first one color and then another, according to their fancy. The various manufacturers of dyes have placed on the market many colors that may be used for tinting by mixing with water. Colored crepe papers, soaked in water, yield several lovely tints. But one may get almost any color desired or match any hue by using tube paints and gasoline as a tinting medium. The washing of crepe and other sheer fabrics is simply a matter of handling them gently. Make a warm suds of water and white soap and dip the blouse repeatedly in this, squeezing the soiled portions in the hand or rubbing them very gently. If much soiled wash through a second suds and rinse in clear, tepid water. Do not twist or wring to dry, but lay in a towel and run through a wringer. Do not allow to dry before ironing, but fold in a turkish towel for awhile and iron while damp. Use a moderately hot iron and iron on the wrong side, stretching the material to its proper shape—otherwise it will shrink. Do not allow any part of the waist to become dry before ironing. If it is necessary to iron part of a crepe or silk waist on the right side, owing to the way in which it is made, place a thin muslin between the iron and the fabric. When a crepe waist is to be tinted it is first washed and rinsed. After that it is rinsed in a water to which color has been added. This color can be bought in drug stores and sometimes in other shops. For plink very pretty tints can be got from red tissue paper, and lovely yellow hues are obtained in THE PUBLIC SCHOOL Wanted Everywhere: German Cannon or Fieldpiece WASHINGTON. The Congressional Record these days contains column after column of bills like the first four below. There is a national demand for captured German cannon as souvenirs of the great war. A bill (H. R. 14169) authorizing the secretary of war to donate to the village of Tangier, on the island of Tangier, county of Accomac, state of Virginia, one German cannon or field-piece; to the committee on military affairs. A bill (H. R. 14026) donating a captured German cannon or field gun and carriage to the county of Boulder, state of Colorado, for decorative and patriotic purposes; to the committee A bill (H.

A bill (H. R. 14188) authorizing the secretary of war to donate German cannon or fieldpieces to towns in the state of Connecticut. A bill (H. R. 14105) to provide for the equitable distribution of captured war devices and trophies to the states and territories of the United States and to the District of Columbia; to the committee on military affairs. The bills show that every part of the country, from Massachusetts to California and from Minnesota to Texas, is equally interested; that every cross-roads village, county, city and state is after one or more guns and that schools and all sorts of public institutions are getting into line. The last bill seems to indicate that the demand is so heavy that the supply will run short. It looks as if the secretary of war was planning to get out from under. Roosevelt National Park as Memorial to "T. R." Roosevelt National Park as Memorial to "T. R." THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S first national memorial is likely to be Roosevelt National park. The machinery of congress has been put in motion to make the necessary change in the Greater Sequoia National park bill. Senator Phelan of California, who introduced the Greater Sequoia bill last year, moved the change of name in the senate upon the suggestion of Secretary Lane of the interior department and Director Mather of the national park service. He said that Roosevelt was early identified with the West; that the liberalizing influences of western life nationalized him for his later tasks; that there was no more fitting memorial for a man of his tastes, courage, generous nature and love of the beautiful that this national park in the High Sierras. The public lands committee reported the amended bill favorably and the senate passed it. In the house the amendment was moved by Representative Elston of California and was seconded by Representative Gillett of Massachusetts. beautiful that this national park in committee reported the amended bill the house the amendment was moved and was seconded by Representative.

It is evident that the soldiers who have not been reported The present Sequoia National park contains 265 square miles. It was created in 1890 to preserve the big trees, Sequoia Washingtoniana, which are the oldest and largest living things on earth. The largest of them are 35 feet in diameter and are about 4,000 years old. The Greater Sequoia bill adds 1,335 square miles to the north and east, including the canyons of Kings river and Kern river, Tehipite and Paradise valleys and the western slope and the crest of Mount Whitney (14,501), the highest point in continental United States. This is scenic area of the first class. Roosevelt National park, with 1,000 square miles, will be exceeded in size by only Mount McKinley and Yellowstone and will rank with the best of the 17 national parks. Grand Canyon National park has been created by congress. It includes practically all of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado in Arizona, probably the greatest natural wonder of earth. This area has been a national monument since 1908 by proclamation of President Roosevelt. CORNER ARE there secret British, French and American prisoners in the hands of the Germans? It is evident that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers who have not been reported dead and whose absence is not ex- that soldiers. Thus when the time f came about the German bully would unaid and starving, into Holland a who had insulted him, and afterward castle or on his estate, where he could. The second reason hinted at by whereabouts are such a mystery have or adaptability, been put to work on man's want to keep secret. Although the actual fighting is only just beginning, and if any of accidentally or otherwise, a trade segency is by no means an impossibility. The third reason is somewhat sheers through the instrumentality of it gained some knowledge which, if disc for the officer or man concerned. Marconi Hopes to Talk AN INVENTOR must necessarily be larger his invention the greater his imagination of Marconi, inventor of over the possibility of communicating wirelessly with the stars. that soldiers. Thus when the time for dispersal from the prisoners' camps came about the German bully would turn the rest loose to find their way, unaided and starving, into Holland and safety, but would detain the soldier who had insulted him, and afterward secretly send the man to work in his castle or on his estate, where he could torture and degrade him at will. The second reason hinted at by my informant is that these men whose whereabouts are such a mystery have, by reason of their special knowledge or adaptability, been put to work on undertakings the nature of which Germans want to keep secret. Although the actual fighting is over, the trade war with Germany is only just beginning, and if any of the men in question acquired, either accidentally or otherwise, a trade secret of any value—and such a contingency is by no means an impossibility—he would be kept a prisoner in secret. The third reason is somewhat similar. The men are being kept prisoners through the instrumentality of individual officers or men. They have gained some knowledge which, if disclosed, would end in terrible retribution for the officer or man concerned. AN INVENTOR must necessarily be a man with imagination; probably the larger his invention the greater his power of imagination. Anyway, the imagination of Marconi, inventor of wireless telegraphy, is just now busy over the possibility of communicating wirelessly with the stars. Marconi says he has often received strong signals out of the ether which seemed to come from some place outside the earth and which may conceivably have proceeded from the stars. He also thinks waves of ether are eternal. He says that messages he sent off ten years ago are still going on through space. This is why he hopes for communication with other stars. He says: "Communication with intelligence possible, and as many of the planets who live there ought to have information. "It is silly to say the other planets atmosphere or are so hot or are so deep no fish in the sea, we would say life. "You see, one might get through equals four, and go on repeating it to yes, which would be one word. "Mathematics must be the same sticking to mathematics over a number. It is certainly possible." "Communication with intelligences on other stars may some day be possible, and as many of the planets are much older than ours, the beings who live there ought to have information for us of enormous value. "It is silly to say the other planets are uninhabited, because they have no atmosphere or are so hot or are so different from the earth. If there were no fish in the sea, we would get life there is impossible. "You see, one might get through some such message as two plus two equals four, and go on repeating it until the answer came back signifying yes, which would be one word. "Mathematics must be the same throughout the physical universe. By sticking to mathematics over a number of years one might come to speech. It is certainly possible." --- shown in the picture reveals as practical and pretty a frock as ever greeted a spring day. This new model embodies some very interesting details in its makeup. First the skirt narrows toward the bottom and has a wide hem. Rows of long running stitches, arranged in five groups, run around the skirt, beginning with a group of three, uppermost, and adding one row to each group until that above the hem numbers seven. These long stitches of heavy silk constitute one variety of the "thread embroidery" that plays a prominent part in the season's styles. The jacket or short coat widens at the hips—a departure from the straight silhouette that is noteworthy. It may be the forerunner of more curved lines to follow and welcome for varlety's sake. A panel set in the front of the jacket is embellished with this thead embroidery and a double row of small buttons. Revers that widen toward the bottom and a neck finish in a fold of white georgette are pretty and the girdle formed by three cords run in the silk is new. A buckle and three loops of silk-covered cord at each side finish it off. The cuffs command attention. They are made of deep plats of the silk fastened down with little buttons. this way, using much deeper shades of yellow paper to make them. To get just the right tint it may be necessary to experiment by first tinting small pieces of crepe or a portion of the waist that is covered by the skirt. The blouse will look lighter when it is dry than when it is wet. It is better to deepen the tint by redipping than to make it too strong at first. The method of tinting with gasoline will be given in another article. Julia Bottomley Dainty Quilts. Scraps from old dancing frocks of taffeta or satin in pastel shades make very dalty quilts for the boudoir. One charmming quilt of this kind was evolved from a cast-off evening coat of pale pink silk in a morning glory shade and a discarded dance frock of rose flowered white pussy willow taffeta. The pattern was done in blocks, flowered and plain silks cut in triangles, and the blocks joined by strips of pink satin ribbon. It was lined with plain thin silk with a sheet of cotton wadding laid between. Veiled Shoulders. The overdress of one evening model is made high in the back and low in the front, as it is now considered more becoming to vell the shoulders. The girdle of sapphires gives the finishing touch of richness. Such a design would be effective if carried out in a white satin with an overdress of black lace and a girdle of let. Furs and Velvets Taupe velvet is popular, because it is so soft in shade and so lovely with moleskin. Moleskin or beaver combines perfectly with shades of taupe. Ermine is used with best effect on black velvet, though this color is beautifully combined with kolinsky on account of the black markings which run through the brown hairs. Hat of Black Satin An unusual hat is a Napoleonic model of black satin, the entire shape covered with an allover pattern of embroidery done in gold thread.

It may be that a commission will be appointed to search every nook and cranny of Germany. There are three principal reasons for keeping these men in a secrecy and silence as deep as that of the grave. In the first place the Hun never forgives and never forgets. If a soldier was rude to a German officer, that officer would go to considerable trouble to work out quite an elaborate revenge. The Hun officer would "mark" or dispersal from the prisoners' camps turn the rest loose to find their way, and safety, but would detain the soldier and secretly send the man to work in his old torture and degrade him at will. my informant is that these men whose be, by reason of their special knowledge undertakings the nature of which Ger- over, the trade war with Germany is the men in question acquired, either secret of any value—and such a contin- he would be kept a prisoner in secret. milar.

(Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 16 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. LESSON TEXT-Exodus 20:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT-Luke 10:27. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-Ex. 19; Lev 10:11-18, 32-37; Matt 8:17-48. PRIMARY TOPIC—God gives his commands to Moses. Memory Verses—I John 4:8; Luke 10:27. JUNIOR TOPIC—Giving commands to the people. Memory Verses—Matt. 23:37-40. INTERMEDIATE TOPIC—Jesus and the commandments. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC—The commandments in modern life. The ten commandments furnish us the world's greatest moral code. I. The First Commandment (20:3). "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Means literally, "Thou shalt have no other gods before my face." This commandment enjoins the obligation of single-hearted worship and service. It may be broken by (1) living for one's self. If life's activities center in self then one is an idolater. (2) Making pleasure the goal of living. (3) Being covetous (Col. 3:5). Every one who is greedy for gold is an idolater. (4) Actually worshipping idols. II. The Second Commandment (20:4-6). While the first commandment is directed against false gods, the second is directed against the worship of the true God under false forms. It can be broken by (1) the use of images in worship; (2) putting sinful man in the place of Christ; (3) putting God's ordinances and institutions in the place which he alone should have. III. The Third Commandment (20:7). The Hebrew word "vain" translated means lying, deceptive, unreal. "Gulless" is from the word meaning clean, unpunished. The meaning is that God will not hold to be clean and will not allow to go unpunished him who uses his name in a lying, hypocritical manner. This commandment may be broken by (1) profanity; (2) perjury; (3) levity and frivolity; (4) hypocrisy, which is professing to live for God yet living for self. IV. The Fourth Commandment (20:8:11). The command to work six days is as binding as to rest on the seventh. The resting one day in seven applies to servants and horses as well as to the man and his family. This commandment may be broken by (1) living in idleness, (2) working on the day set apart for the worship of God, (3) engaging in carnal pleasures on the Lord's day. V. The Fifth Commandment (20:12). This commandment rests upon the fact that parents stand to their children in the place of God. It may be violated by (1) disrespect to parents, (2) disobedience, (3) failure to give proper care in old age. VI. The Sixth Commandment (20:13). The sanctity of human life is dup to the fact that man was created in the likeness and image of God. This commandment may be broken by (1) sinful anger (Matt. 5:22), (2) hatred (I John 3:15), (3) neglect of means to preserve life, (4) oppression of the weak, (5) suicide, (6) infanticide (7) unrighteous wars. VII. The Seventh Commandment (20:14). The sin which strikes at the home is most deadly, for it undermines the whole human fabric. It may be broken by (1) unclean imaginations, thoughts, and affections (Matt. 15:19; 5:27, 28), (2) unchaste conversation and wanton looks (Isa. 3:16; 2 Peter 2:14, (3) divorce, which is for the most part legalized adultery. VIII. The Eighth Commandment (20:15). This strikes at the sin of theft. Many things are legally but morally wrong. This commandment may be broken by (1) taking what belongs to another, (2) false weights and measures, (3) extortion, (4) usury, (5) "graft," (6) making assignments to escape payment of debts. IX. The Ninth Commandment (20:16). The unfailing test of a man's religion is the use he makes of his tongue (James 1:26; 3:28). This commandment may be broken by (1) open lying, (2) perjury, (3) slander, (4) talebearing, (5) breach of promise, (6) withholding truth, (7) flattery. X. The Tenth Commandment (20:17). This commandment strikes at the desire for things which belong to another. It applies not merely to the open violation, but to the very purpose of the heart. Religion Worth Having. A religion that cannot be brought into every phase of life is not worth having; and the affairs of life that cannot be maintained side by side with Christ's teachings ought to be scrapped without delay. And until the brotherhood movement rises to its responsibilities and makes these facts plain, it will fail to be the power it may be its privilege to become. A Real Cure.
