THE SOUTH AND HER DAMO-CLEAN SWORD. Perhaps it may seem strange to many that at present, the South is panic-stricken over the anticipated return of its quota of colored troops. And, perhaps, this fear is well grounded, growing out of a consciousness of guilt, with justice impending. Now that the nation is about to enter upon a glorious holiday, as it were, celebrating the victorious return of the men who helped materially to turn the tide in the battle which threatened to engulf Democracy, the South cannot participate with any degree of satisfaction, for she is mindful of the Damocean sword suspended by a frail hair above her head, and she fears that with one false move she may bring down upon herself the vengeance of the Negro which, no doubt, has been smoldering in the hearts of many since the first lynching was celebrated 'neath her sunny skies; since mob violence became a sport to be indulged in, even by those in authority; since the first throng of men and women broke the bond existing between man and man as established by God, descended to unfathomable depths of degradation, and took delight in the suffering and torture of a fellow being; since sympathy and pity fled from the hearts of men and women of the South, and became an utter stranger to some sections which nurtured so' many of our people on its fruitful soil. It would seem that the only recourse left the South in this crisis is to go to our leading men and women, explain her position, her dire fears, lay bare the terrible, gaunt spectre that is now over-shadowing her dreams, and beg for assistance. She now fully realizes, for the first time, that her outrages against the Negro may work her utter ruin. But, what fair promises can she offer now to appease the God of vengeance? What pledge can she make that will have sufficient weight to induce these thinking men and women who have suffered so long to use their influence to ward off the blow that now threatens her? Are these men and women not conscious of the fact that the fair promises of the South have always been as chaff before the wind? Are they not mindful of the fact that all that they have held most sacred, sanctity of home, virtue, justice and right have been outraged, even before their very eyes? Do they not remember that the South has always evaded the keeping of her sacred obligations by hiding under the cloak of Southern justice? Now it seems necessary for some of our leading men to hold public meetings at which addresses giving all sorts of assurance to the white citizens—warranted and otherwise—are made in order to allay the grave fears of our conscious-stricken oppressors, guaranteeing a continuation of faithfulness to duty, and the abiding by the law in the future, of men who have been tried in the fiery furnace and have come forth as pure gold. Who knows but that when Uncle Sam's black soldiers whose hearts have responded to the rhythmic, but stern, beat of the drum that led them forth to bloody conflict return, they will ask or demand the fiddler's pay, now that the South has danced and made merry so long at their expense? It may be that they will seek an immediate settlement of past grievances, forcing the hand which has so long creating at the game. While many of our staunch, noble-minded citizens of color would not favor anything that would seem radical, I know that down in the very depths of their hearts they would be glad to see those stalwart Negro soldiers who so willingly offered up their lives to defend those who were not related to us by any sanguine ties, throw down the gauntlet to the South on their return, thresh out all those questions involving their legal rights, abolish the hideous crimes perpetrated against their kith and kin, stamp out the agonies of black men and women writhing at the flaming stake, and wipe out the vicious practice of dividing the garments of the victims among members of the mob as souvenirs of such memorable celebrations. We have petitioned the government, we have prayed and begged for our rights, all of which we have justly earned. But, we have never as yet, demanded them. And why not? Are we willing to face a terrible fusillade of cannon ball on the deadly fields of battle, and yet not willing or brave enough to demand that which should be ours for the asking? Shall we be content to cling to the wretched life that some of us are forced to live, and not make a supreme struggle for the sake of posterity? Our parents were slaves. We are hampered, handicapped, freed-men. And, as long as we are hampered we are not capable of giving our best to civilization. As long as we are a race of prescribed boundaries, of set limitations, we are unable to render our best services to humanity. And, unless we eliminate the "fence" position, take the one, and only stand, we shall have been but as stones in the pathway of posterity. Sometimes we'll take a decided stand, Sometimes, perhaps, but when? Sometimes we'll take our brother's hand, Sometimes, perhaps, but when? Sometimes the wrong we'll help make right, Sometimes we'll make a glorious fight, And then we'll hold up truth and right, Sometimes, perhaps, but when? —MRS. J. R. WILLIAMS. Officers of 365th Infantry Will Take the Case to High Authority. Colored officers of the Three Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry, a draft regiment, which arrived on the Olympic, do not intend to let their charges that they were made victims of a color line aboard the transport drop. They will be taken to the highest army authority, it was announced today. The charges were presented by James G. Wiley, a colored secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and were substantiated by Negro officers. The charges state: "Colored officers of the 365th Infantry, 317th Sanitary Train, 367th Infantry and 350th Field Artillery have been grossly insulted by being grouped together, irrespective of rank, in a separate dining room—or, more properly, in the tearoom on board H. M. S. Olympic; while white shave-tail lieutenants and white captains and field officers of the same organization, together with nurses of enlisted men's rank, Y. M. C. A. secretaries and field clerks are seated in main dining room with passengers. "General Gearhardt and Colonel George McMaster of the 365th are both Southerners of the old school, with all its old traditions. "Feeling among the officers is aggravated by the fact that the regimental flag and colors of the regimental flag and colors of the Three Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry were salvaged and lost. It is known that this is the result of negligence and lack of regard for a flag that was astonishing, to put it mildly. "The officers so humiliated feel that not only their personal valor and honor has been insulted, but that the uniform and rank of the United States Army has been degraded and they do not intend to let it go by unchallenged." GERMAN TRENCHES ON 18TH ST. One would have thought they had moved the trenches of No Man's Land to 18th street had he been in the vicinity of 1516 about 11 o'clock Thursday day night. After a controversy between Cleve Ranburg and Walter Richardson, Cleve put down a barrage that would have done credit to the 92nd Division, and when Gene Walker, who went through the recent war without a scratch, attempted to go through it, he received a piece of shrapnel in the right side infiltrating a serious wound. Cleve was arrested. Walter hasn't peeped out of the trenches yet and Gene is at the Old City Hospital. HANNIBAL, MISSOURI. Presiding Elder P, C, Crews held Quarterly Meeting at the A. M.

Not since the "Lodge Force Bill" went to defeat in 1892 in the national house of Congress has there been a direct appeal made to the conscience of the American people and to the law-making body of our Government for the extension to us of the full benefits of liberty. During these twenty-seven years, through which we have suffered injustice without appeal or protest the causes of labor, woman's suffrage, and national prohibition have won national favor and have received Governmental recognition because of the intelligent persistence with which they have plead their right to a hearing before the bar of public opinion. The lesson to be drawn from these facts is: if the Negro desires an improvement in his condition: if he wishes to enjoy the real opportunities of liberty; if he wishes to stand equal as a man before the law with a man's chance everywhere in this country, he must protest to the public conscience against his wrongs and plead before the nation's law-making body for legal recognition of his rights of manhood. The time is now! When the whole world is discussing justice between its races! The National Negro Constitutional Conservation League of America has been organized to wage just the kind of an intelligent protest that should be made and to present to Congress a petition for the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States. If these two amendments were enforced jim-crowism, mob-violence, and disfranchisement could not exist, for with federal enforcement of these two articles the penalty for their violation would be too great. The membership campaign which is now going on in Kansas City, which will end March 22, is a real test for the loyalty of every Negro to the welfare of his race. The interest of everyone of us is involved in the success of the purposes of this organization. Every Negro who is loyal and who is worthy of better opportunities will support the movement and will join the League. Every Negro who does not support this movement is YOUR enemy, because he is against your chance to better the condition of yourself and your household. No sane, intelligent Negro can oppose the purposes of this organization. You can set down any Negro who does oppose them as a traitor to his people. No matter what his station in life, no matter what has been his previous standing in the estimation of the community, no matter whether he be proud in his ignorance or boast the possession of college-bred brains, no matter whether he be prompted by envy or jealousy, or puffed up with false nations of his own wisdom and importance, no matter whether he be a slave to love of prominence or the pliant, fawning puppet venting the wrath of others less foolhardy MARK HIM AS A TRAITOR! He is against YOU! He is opposing the only effort that has been put forth in your behalf in twenty-seven years. If he is in business, don't trade with him, find someone else to trade with who is loyal to the race; if he is in a profession, find another man in the same profession whose interest has not lost identity with yours; if he is simply a "knocker," shun him, avoid him as you would the plague lest you be contaminated with his traitorous filthiness. This movement is the test of the "true blue" of the race and will reveal to us all the parasites who are useless and the REAL men and women who are loyal to your interest and are honestly seeking race advancement. Remember that in a movement like this the words of the Apostle Paul aptly apply ": He that is not with us is against us." DR. LEROY M. BUNDY HERE. Dr. Leroy M. Bundy of East St. Louis, Ill., who was the central figure in the great riot that took place in that city a little over a year ago and who was held in jail for many months without bond, will spend Sunday and Monday in this city meeting old friends and making new acquaintances and giving a true account of that decorable affair in East St. Louis which makes the blackest page in American history. Dr. Bundy was that city's most brilliant physician and race leader and is a son of one of the most highly respected families in the state of Ohio. He possessed an elegant office, home, automobile, bank account and practice, all of which was destroyed during his months of incarceration. Dr. Bundy's trial will take place the latter part of this month and he wants the people throughout the middle West to know the true facts in this case in which he is fighting for his life and liberty.

He used to be out on the dancing waves, Adrift in the Mary Jane, A bold, bold skipper, indeed, was he, in the Tropical heat and rain, He'd "hee, how, hum," and swear "by gum," And scowl at his merry men; But for all of his scowling, his jowling his Howling, he's doing his bit in the pen. I know of a banker of portly mein, a pillar of Sanctie trust, He'd ride to his bank in an auto car, and Shovel in all the dust, He stuffed, with gold, all his grip would hold And fled with a fancy hen; But for all of his stuffing and cuffing And bluffing, he's ruffing it now at the pen. There once was a dandy of ravishing looks. A little bit daffy on socks, He put all his wages in vehement tints that Sometimes would jump from the box. But soon his bills became his ills; he fell to The Judge for a ten. And for all of his woes and clothes and hose. He's wearing his socks in the pen. TELEGRAM. W. C. Hueston, Chairman: Mistake made in routing 92nd; will notify Mayor Cowgill Friday when to expect regiment. Scott, Office of Sec'y of War. Philip B. Johnson, who is with the Medical Detachment, 805th Pioneer Infantry, writes, "Our arrival in England was a very welcome one and verged upon the edge of worship, knowing the valor of the black man and realizing every time he squeezed a trigger a Boche was bound to fall. I have had a wonderful experience and if space would permit would like to write some things for my friends but shall do so upon my arrival home, which I trust is not far distant. I wish to extend my very best regards to my many friends in Kansas City and the West." Private Claude Mace of the 805th Pioneer Infantry writes his father, Mr. Mace, of Parkville, Mo., that his company is one of the finest in the regiment and that so far they have not had a scrap of any kind. He says, "It is indeed pathetic to see the French people trodding through rain and mud looking for their homes, and they have been swept away, some not even finding the place where their homes were. We have an excellent corps of officers and they are now talking of going to Germany. I think I shall be much interested in the ways of that country." Oscar Micheaux, author of "The Homesteader" and producer of the film adaptation from the story, was a Kansas City visitor this week, called here on account of the difficulty that arose in connection with the showing of said production at the New Center Theatre. The people of Kansas City hearing so much about this great photoplay, the effort to stop it in Chicago by certain race men there on account of an allegation that the story was in a great part a reproduction of the author's experiences with a minister in which his daughter, formerly the author's wife's, unhappiness is portrayed, are only anxious to see the play. As explained by Mr. Micheaux, his booking agent secured the New Center Theater without being advised that race people had never been allowed in the theater; that the manager created a breach of contract with the owner in opening to Colored people since a clause in the lease expressly set forth that no Colored people be allowed in the theater either as per formers or patrons. So after the first night's showing Mr. Micheaux's manager, Mr. Louis Schooler, was enjoined from further showing of the picture on the grounds as set forth above. However, the people of Kansas City are going to see "The Homesteader," which has been secured for a six days' engagement by Mr Love for his theater, beginning Sunday, April 13 Mr. Micheaux expressed great appreciation for the kindness and co-operation of Mr. Nelson C. Crews, Attorney W. C. Hueston and others in helping him to adjust the difficulty and is confident that those who long to see the play will not be disappointed. NOTICE.

Two Negro coal peddlers stopped at the top of the hill on Eighth street, just east of Chestnut avenue, and viewed the slippery pavement. "Them hosses can't hold' er back goin' down thar!" one of them declared and the other agreed. The discussion ended by unhitching the horses and the Negroes took places on either side of the tongue of the wagon loaded to capacity. "Le's trot a little," as the wagon got up a little momentum, and soon the canter speeded up to a fast jog. Half way down the hill the wagon and its "human horses" had such speed they could not let go. Screeching like sirens and yelling for a clear crossing on Chestnut avenue, the runaway pair reached the bottom of the hill with their feet barely touching the high spots. A gradual hill rising west of Chestnut avenue brought things to a stop. nut avenue brought things to a stop. "We isn't hosses," the larger of the Negroes soliloquized between gasps for breath. "We ain't nuthin' but jackasses."--Wednesday's Star. tempel thind Y. W. C. A. NOTES.

Scruggs of the Second Baptist Church, a spirited selection was rendered by the Orchestral and the following program was rendered: Chorus—"Every Time IF eel the Spirit." Uniforming one hundred fifteen girls in two months—Lucille King. Pompadour—Model School Children. Girls' Octette—"Since You Went Away." Preparing and Serving a Hoover Meal—Ethel Cochran.

America-Audience The practical demonstrations from the sewing and cookery departments received a deal of praise both because of their novelty and the thoroughness with which they were carried out. The Model School tots were indeed like fairies as they whirled and skipped and curtised in the French Folk dance. The oration was full to repletion of the achievements of our race in the large cities as well as the rural communities and as one listened to the splendid delivery, he could but be impressed with the magnitude of the Race's accomplishments in this state. The duet was particularly pleasing each song showing to good advantage the rich contralto and sweet soprano of the Brown twins. The drill conducted by one of our own boys was a revelation of our military training and the boys showed great promise in their evolutions. At this juncture President Richardson briefly addressed the gathering. His talk was sprightly but pointed; witty and yet pungent with meaning as to our hopes, aspirations and strivings. There were facts prepared about the Colored man in Missouri that called for attention; there was a plea for a chance for the Negro; there was gratitude for the help already received and there was a promise of greater things to follow on our part if given a chance to an opportunity to develop unhampered the best there is in us. The speech was well received and quite evidently made a profound impression upon the auditors. The music of the evening was quite good, indeed, the chorus, orchestra and octette each rendering every creditable numbers. The program as a whole was so well received that by special request it will be repeated March 11.

Paris, Feb. 20 (by mail)—Hugh O. Cook, colored Y. M. C. A. secretary, who has been in France for many months with the 371st Infantry (colored), has been recommended for the distinguished service cross. Mr. Cook was a member of the faculty of Lincoln High School, Kansas City, before he joined the army Y. M. C. A. The colored regiment to which he has been attached is one of the many United States units which were brigaded with the French. It has achieved a splendid record and has been praised in orders issued by the French commander, General M. Goybet. "The colored boys of the 371st were not used to actual war when they came to France," said General Goybet, "but they performed splendid service, nevertheless." Side by side with French veterans the colored boys from the United States went into the Champagne drive which started late in September and resulted in the capture by the Negro troops, of the town of Ardeull. Prior to this action the regiment was in the Verdun sector. At the time of the armistice it was in the Vosges preparing for further offensive. During all these arduous weeks and months, Mr. Cook served the colored soldiers "gallantly," to use the word of one of the white officers of the unit. Mr. Cook was gassed during the Champagne offensive when he tried to keep the boys in the trenches supplied with hot chocolate, tobacco and other comforts. Within a few weeks he expects to be in Kansas City again, where he will join his family at 2436 Montgall avenue and, if his health permits, resume his work as an instructor at the Lincoln High School. Col. P. L. Miles (white), commander of the 371st, has said of Mr. Cook: "He has been with this regiment for several months as Y. M. C. A. representative and has given great help to us. "Almost the entire time that Mr. Cook has been with us, the regiment has been in the trenches or has been engaged in offensive operations. He has adapted himself to the hard service conditions and on many occasions has carried supplies to the front line on his back. In the battles of the regiment in the Champagne, Mr. Cook worked aiding the wounded until he was himself gassed. On his recovery he came back from the hospital and rejoined the regiment in the line." Colonel Miles characterized Mr. Cook as "a man of courage, energy and a fine sense of duty—a man whose influence in my regiment has been a wholesome one." WELLINGTON, MISSOURI.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITORIALS. The Editor is in receipt of a communication from his old friend, Ned Holmes, announcing his safe arrival in New York. He expects to be in this city today. The star role in "The Traitor" is being played by Mrs. Clara Adams with J. R. Cespides as lead, closely seconded by Smith, Cox, Mrs. Essie Lewis, Mrs. Ella Lawson and Madison, at the Auditorium Theater March 14th. It should be a source of sincere pride to every self-respecting Negro in Greater Kansas City to witness the remarkable and deserving success Mr. Love's Theatre is achieving in this city. On last Sunday evening a reporter for The Sun counted thirty-four automobiles lined up on either side of the street near his theatre and on Monday night more than three hundred people were unable to obtain admission to any of the three performances given. Mr. Love is a high class, aggressive and intelligent Negro business man and deserves the wonderful success he is having. The abrupt termination of the showing of the "Homestead" at the New Center Theater last Monday night was a source of intense disappointment to the race in this city and was a humiliating insult as well. It is alleged that the management refused to allow it to continue because the lease specifically prescribed that Negroes should not be sold tickets to this theater and nine-tenths of the thousands who saw it on Sunday were of Negro race. Lawsuits for large sums are threatened. What the final result will be we are unable to say. Arrangements are under way to give the picture a full showing in this city next month at Love's Vine Street Theater. LEAGUE OF NATIONS! WHAT ABOUT IT? Virginia, mother of Presidents, nursery of individual liberty, has meant much for the world. It was one of her eloquent sons who exclaimed: "I can judge the future only by the past." In that past is the brilliant career of glorious Athens, starting as a monarchy, she traversed well night every stage of government — aristocracy, timocracy, tyranny, democracy. She gave the world the first example of pure democracy. Had she stopped there, as illustrious as her glory actually was, it might have been nobler by far. But Athens conceived the notion of a world league. Hence the Delian League was formed, a concert of free Hellenic states. As long as that upright, unselfish and just Athenian, Aristides, was at its head all went well. Under the ancient world's foremost democrat, the peerless Pericles, the Delian League of free states became an Athenian Empire, the city that could not brook a tyrant became herself a tyrant city. Athens possessed the world's greatest fleet, but the Sicilian expedition, Aegospotamil, and finally Chaeraean reduced her to a tributary state. According to the Constitution of the League of Nations, the United States, the present world's greatest democracy, sits at the head of the table with fellows not of a common tongue, not of a common religion, but of diverse traditions and conflicting ideals. Athens unhampered by these disadvantages failed. When we contemplate the result of our undesired assistance to our neighbor, Mexico, we are reminded of other words of the above quoted Virginian: "Caesar had his Brutus, Charles I his Cromwell and George III—may profit by their example. Hence unless the last greatest democracy courts martyrdom, she may profit by the example of the first. WILLIAM H. DAWLEY, Jr. Mr. George W. Little, 52 years of age, the best known advertising man in this city, passed away at the State Hospital last Friday and will be buried here Sunday from Allen Chapel, of which he was a member. Mr. Little leaves a wife, a brother, three half brothers, two sons, three half-sisters, two grandchildren and a multitude of friends who admired him for his splendid qualities and courteous manner. Every Church in the city has been a beneficiary of Mr. Little in the way of fans during the summer season and in every race movement. He was a splendid and earnest worker. He was a member of Mt. Oread Lodge No. 76, A. F. & A. M., under whose auspices the funeral will be held. The Sun counted George Little as one of its best friends and in this hour of sorrow extends its deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.

STORIES OF AMERICAN CITIES Lo, the Poor Indian on the Upper Klamath River EUREKA, CAI.—The splendid isolation that has kept the upper waters of the Klamath river almost as unknown as the depths of the Amazon is to be broken, and with its passing the Indian with the dugout canoe will no opened to them. An almost entire lack of roads has enabled the Klamath river Indian to live in primeval surroundings until the present day, and as a result he is an interesting native. The wigwam on the shore, the papoose on the shoulders of the squaw and the tribal rituals handed down for generations still are part of his life. Some knowledge of American history has penetrated into the wilds of the region, one of the most bizarre convictions among the Indians being that George Washington discovered America. Yo, Ho! Yo, Ho! Sailing O'er a Boiling Sea, My Mates Yo, Ho! Yo, Ho! Sailing O'er a Boiling Sea, My Mates FREEPORT, TEX.—That a large area of the sea lying north of the South American coast and southeast of the West Indies is now a seething mass of boiling water from which clouds of vapor rise and hinder navigation, and passed through the boiling waters and that life on the ship became almost unbearable because of the extreme heat and the nauseating stench which filled the air. "We struck the boiling waters," says Captain Gorman, "when some 600 miles from our port. We had captured a large amount of fish, and since our ice was limited we making all speed for home. "Early one morning I noticed clouds of smoke rising straight ahead. The heat became more apparent. We thought the vapor was but a fog which we frequently find in that part of the sea—and sailed into it. "As we struck the area overhung by vapor we learned our mistake. Instead of being an ordinary fog and an ordinary sea, we found we were sailing through boiling water. Thinking that a small area had become affected by volcanic action we steered ahead and continued to so steer, believing every moment we were about to clear the seething seas until we covered almost 100 miles. "During our passage through this boiling area the entire cargo of the Isabel was ruined. The waters so heated the sides and the bottom of the vessel that the fish rotted and the stench, added to the odor from the sea, made many of the sailors sick." He Invented the "Explosion on the Lake Front" He Invented the "Explosion on the Lake Front" CHICAGO.—A good many men in the middle West and other parts of the country will be interested to know that "Dickie" Dean, originator of the "explosion on the lake front" and that the "turning around of the Masonic Temple" bor of the gang—usually Dean himself—would accost a stranger on the street and ask to be directed to the lake front. The stranger usually explained he was unacquainted in Chicago, and Dean then would impart the information that he overheard some men talking about a big explosion on the lake front. If a policeman chanced to be near by Dean would ask for directions, and the unwitting stranger would accompany him to see "the explosion." On reaching the late front, Dean and his victim would find three or four men gambling. Dean would express curiosity and then lure the "sucker" into the game. It was Dean who also originated the incredible swindle of getting $5 from gullible persons who wanted to see the Masonic Temple "turn around." After getting the money Dean would tell the victim he had to go to the basement to give an order to the engineer. He would disappear in an alley and the "sucker" would wait at the corner to see the 21-story building turn around. Roosevelt Peak in Colorado to Be "T. R." Memorial MONTROSE, COLO.—A movement has been started here to have the government rename Sneffels Peak, and in so doing honor the memory of Theodore Roosevelt by calling it "Roosevelt Peak." The peak is the most prominent point on the magnificent skyline south metamorphic rock. It is 14,143 feet high. Its summit is about as big as a family dinner table, and from its top one gets a most marvelous view, seeing into Utah. Arizona and New Mexico. The plan is to name it Roosevelt Peak, and have its new name recorded in Washington by the geological survey, through the mining district around it would still remain Sneffels district, and the post office of Sneffels would remain unchanged in name. If the United States government will agree to changing the name of this great peak, citizens of Montrose and Ouray will place a suitable bronze tablet on the summit. It is quite according to the eternal fitness of things that the name of Roosevelt should be given to an impressive mountain peak or a magnificent scenic park in the wilds. The memory of Roosevelt, naturalist, hunter, outdoor man and lover of the West, deserves well of its people. It is a fitting expression of hero-worship. Roosevelt National park is likely soon to be established by congress. The plan is to add several hundred square miles of magnificently scenic territory to Sequoia National park in California, originally created to preserve the big trees, the oldest and largest living things of earth. The bill to make the addition and change the name has been passed by the senate. President Wilson has expressed his approval by cable from Paris. A opened to them.

Sailing O'e FREEPORT, TEX.—That a large are American coast and southeast of the of boiling water from which clouds of the temperature of which is hot enough to cook eggs and boil cargoes of fish, is the remarkable story brought here by Capt. Isaac Gorman of the fishing snack Isabel. Captain Gorman declares that he sailed for six hours through the boiling seas and that during that time his cargo of several thousand pounds of fish spoiled and had to be dumped overboard.

Economy Corner Distinctly Youthful in Design A woman in a long dress and a hat stands in front of a window with a bird perched on the branch. There are some straw hats that may be washed with safety. A shape which does not contain glue or shellace may be cleaned in this way. First dust the hat thoroughly, using brush and cloth, and by shaking out the freed particles of dirt. Then make a warm suds of soap and water and scrub the hat with a nail brush. When it is dry rub over it the white of an egg beaten to a froth. Chiffon is washed in warm suds, for which a blond soap is used. The washing will be successful if the chiffon is handled gently. After rinsing fold in a towel and run through a wringer. When partially dry it should be ironed on the right side with a moderately hot iron. Chiffon veils are laundered in the same way. To Freshen Ribbons and Silks Black ribbons may be renovated by first brushing them free of dust and then sponging them with a mixture of water and alcohol, using one part of alcohol to two parts of water. When partly dry iron under a piece of thin muslin, or black crinoline, with a moderately warm iron. Colored ribbons of good quality will wash if care is taken in the process, which is the same as that for chiffon, except that they are froned on the wrong side. A very fine way for freshening ribbons is to pull them across escaping steam from the teakettle. A contrivance of tin is used for this purpose, which fits over the spout and spreads into a flat fan with a slit in the top. Bows that do not need cleaning, but have become mussed may be cleverly pressed with a curling iron. Try this with little silk bows or velvet bows. Make the iron quite hot. Distinctly You Here is a sprightly dress of wool, which may be made of any of the soft and substantial weaves that hang gracefully. It is cut on the simplest lines, plain as to skirt and waist, with a mengerness of trimmings that amounts to severity, but is popular with young people. It boasts a small turn-over collar, bordered with a narrow braid and the sleeves are indulged in a band of the same braid and four small buttons at the wrist. It will be noticed that the skirt is longer than for some seasons, almost covering the ankles. This is a characteristic of spring styles in frocks. The special pride and glory of this unpretentious but smart bit of designing for youthful wearers, is the apron at the front. This is made of one of those new fabrics that are giving manufacturers of staple goods a bad quarter-hour. It looks like jersey and might be successfully made of that favored fabric, but it is more likely to be tricolette, or a knitted weave of some sort. Just a straight piece of one of these supple materials is bordered with a wide band of georgette at the bottom and outlined with a simple braided pattern. A wide girdle of the same material across the back and two narrow bands of folded georgette across the front, with a button on the ends of each, complete a decoration that makes the frock. The body of the dress is in navy blue and the apron in beige with blue trimming. --- and wrap about it a wet cloth. Then insert the iron in the loops, opening the curler to stretch the loop to smoothness. When the bow is quite dry brush it, if of velvet. A trimmed hat which looks musky may be held over steam and bows or folds stretched and smoothed with the fingers. In Wrapped Effects. Skirts grow scatter and longer as the season advances. A wrapped effect around the ankles is particularly smart, and some of the satin and velvet afternoon frocks have these graceful, wrapped skirts, the material clinging about the ankles and falling in soft draperies below the hips. The daintiest sort of footwear is required with a wrapped and draped skirt of rich material—stout walking boots would utterly spoil the effect; and winter boots for dress occasions are high of heel and light of sole; dancing boots they might well be called though they trip over the pavements on on inclement days. The tailored hack about suit usually accompanies sturder footwear of dark tan calf with sensible heels. New Form of Trimming Enormous brinded buttonholes with buttons at one end form the trimming of some of the new dresses put out by Premet. On one there are three of these, forming the trimming of the bodice, the topmost one being at least six inches long, the center one perhaps five inches and the one nearest the waistline possibly four inches. Four graded buttonholes of similar construction trim the upper part of the front panel of the skirt. thful in Design An irreproachable spring hat of navy blue lisse is gay with a wreath of blossoms and a rose-colored facing. The bosom of the young person so faultlessly dressed is entitled to swell with pride and joy. Julia Bottomley Ribbon Workbag. A good working can be made from two yards of Dresden ribbon six and one-half inches wide and one embroidery hoop. Cut two rounds of cardboard, the size of the hoop for the bottoms of the "double-decker" bag, pad with sheet cotton and cover with the ribbon. Divide the remaining ribbon in halves and seam up both pieces. Then sew one to a cardboard round and fasten at the top of the outside rim of the embroidery hoody. Make the top part of the bag in the same way, save that the cardboard bottom is to be sewed to the inside of the embroidery ring, which has been covered by the silk ribbon. Pin Saving Help. A magnet on a tape is excellent to keep in the sewing room, or to use wherever sewing is done, as by this means stray needles may be picked up that otherwise might not be found until they did some damage. WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Navy Department to Bring Home Its Heroic Dead WASHINGTON.—Plans for bringing home the bodies of all navy officers, sailors and marines now buried on foreign soil are being worked out by the navy department and the actual work will be undertaken within the next military honors would be accorded, and that where private interment was desired the navy would prepay all expenses up to delivery of the casket to relatives and that the war risk insurance bureau of the bureau of the treasury would refund actual burial expenses not exceeding $100 in each case upon presentation of the claims. Relatives of the dead of the navy and naval reserves were requested to write the bureau of medicine and surgery as to their wishes, and those of the dead of the marine corps were invited to communicate with the commandant of the corps. It is believed that many good Americans will take advantage of the arrangement announced by the department. The feeling of the average American parent whose son has given his all to his country is a combination of pride and grief. To many there is comfort in the public ceremonies of a funeral. And many will wish to have the grave of the loved one near at hand. Debutante Slouch Gone; Automobile Slump Going Debutante Slouch Gone; Automobile Slump Going TWO war casualties have not yet been recorded. They are the death of the debutante slouch and the near demise of the automobile stump. Since women have driven ambulances, scrubbed canteen floors, fetched and carried War has done for women in months what physicians, lecturers and well-intentioned maiden aunts have not been able to do in hundreds of years. Women have been scolded, warned, threatened and even laughed at for misshaping their poor bodies and playing hob with their health at the behest of fashion. Came the war and the splendid response by women to its demands for hard work and incessant service. What has happened? Has it overtaxed or hurt their bodies? Just the opposite. It has given them new physiques. It has broadened the diaphragm on an average of two to three inches, melted the fat from the hips as if by magic, replaced adipose with muscle on arms and legs, flattened the ugly "old woman's hump" at the back of the neck and symmetrized the chest and bust lines. Verily, slimness and shapeliness are the reward of the woman who dedicated herself, body and soul, to war work. The canteenette has accomplished without realizing it results for which formerly she spent large wads of husband's gold at health studios and reducing parlors, not to mention gyms and Turkish baths. In many cases she has actually grown taller from reaching and bending, and the straight, even swaybacked, carriage that comes from toting trays of fried eggs, coffee and custard pie. War has taught women to work. They will never enjoy idleness again. Nor will they ever return to unsanitary, uncomfortable, unsightly fashions. Form Clothes for Men; Sprightly, Inspirational Form Clothes for Men; Sprightly, Inspirational FORM clothes will be the vogue during the present year. So decrees the National Association of Merchant Tailors. All delegates emphasize the form-fitting trend of the times. Some of them go so far as to suggest that line, and other delicate fabrics. Even the proscale sack suit of business is to have a "swing" imparted to it by a high waistline and a long vent back. But it is in sporty toggery that the styles are going to go the limit. Coats will be strapped and tubbed and plaited. Riding coats are to have flaring skirts, a back vent running to the high waistline, diagonal jetted pockets, and upon both sides with an additional outside pocket, neatly flapped, to carry change. So there is every opportunity for the shapely tenderfoot to go the limit this year by the seashore and in the mountains in the way of fearful and wonderful costumes; this should be a glad season for him. Out in the Rockies the natives swear that some of the outfits adorning the tourist from the East and the middle West actually make the grim granite peaks shake with mirth. This is probably an exaggeration, but veteran guides assert that the mountain sheep in Rocky Mountain National park never will learn to trust man until something is done to tone down the tenderfoot.

No permits are granted to enemy aliens. "The applications for permits are but a mere drop in the bucket," says H. R. Landis, immigration agent in charge. "After the armistice the applications for permits were rather heavy, but they have dwindled day by day. "One reason, perhaps, is the exceptional difficulty in obtaining ship transportation.

P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR MARCH 9 JOSHUA, PATRIOT AND LEADER LESSON TEXT-Joshua 1:3-8. GOLDEN TEXT-Be strong and of a knowledge. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL - Joshua 1:10-3:17; 5:13-15. PRIMARY TOPIC—A story of a brave leader. Memory Verse—Joshua 1:5. JUNIOR TOPIC—Follow the right leader. Memory Verse—Deut. 1:7, 8. INTERMEDIATE TOPIC—When to be brave. The book of Joshua is a history or the conquest of the promised land and its apportionment among the tribes of Israel. It takes its name from its principal character—Joshua. During the wilderness journey he was Moses' minister, and captain of his army. When Moses was denied the privilege of going over the Jordan, Joshua was appointed to the leadership of Israel. Being so long faithful as a servant, he is now qualified to rule. Only those who have themselves learned to obey are fit to rule. Moses, the representative of the law, brought Israel to the borders of Cannan. Joshuah was the man chosen to lead the people into the place of rest. The name "Joshua" has the same derivation as the name "Jesus." The law (Moses) was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ; but Christ (our Joshua) has given us victory and rest. I. Joshua's Call (1:1.2). Moses, God's servant, is dead, but God's work must go on. He continues his work by calling others to take it up, though he buries his workers. Joshua, no doubt, was sorrowful over the loss of his master, but there is no time for mourning. The best way to cure our griefs and sorrows is to take up courageously the burdens and responsibilities which our leaders have laid down. II. God Renews His Promise of the Land to Israel (1:3, 4). The promise had been made to Abraham, and renewed to Isaac, Jacob and Moses. It is now renewed to Israel when they are about to enter upon its possession. The borders of the land were quite large (v. 4) "from the wilderness and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast." The nearest it was ever possessed was during the reigns of David and Solomon, though not then fully realized. This country still belongs to the Jews, and in God's own time they shall possess it. Their getting possession of this land was due entirely to themselves. God promised them, that wherever their feet set upon the land it was theirs. If they failed to secure possession it was because they failed to claim it. We would all enjoy larger blessings if we would claim them. III. God's Presence Promised to Joshua (1:5). Joshua was entering upon a perilous and difficult enterprise, but the Lord said as he was with Moses so would he be with him. The difficulties before him were: 1. The Jordan river (v. 2). It was now at its flood (3:15), making it impossible for armies to cross. 2. In the land the people were living in walled cities. Notwithstanding this, God's help insured success. (1) "I will not fall thee nor forsake thee." (2) "There shall not any man be able to stand before thee." (3) "As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee." IV. Conditions of Blessings in the Land (1:6-9). 1. "Be strong and of a good courage" (v. 6). His mission was to go in and divide the land among the tribes for an inheritance. God could not bless him if he should play the coward. 2. Unwavering obedience to the word of God (v. 7). In a land of idolatry it requires much courage to obey the true God. The prosperity and good success was conditioned upon unswerving obedience to God's commands. In all his work he must conform his life to the law of God. To pass from the path outlined therein would bring disaster and ruin. In order to accomplish this the law of the Lord must constantly be in his mouth. He was to meditate therein day and night. If we are to prosper in our Christian experience there must be that regular and reverent study of God's Word. Joshua renders prompt obedience. He did not stop to cavil, but at once gave orders for the march. God made the plan and gavetl directions. His responsibility was to go forward without doubting, taking possession of the inheritance. Sacrifice. A work that requires no sacrifice does not count for much in fulfilling God's plans. But what is commonly called sacrifice is the best, happiest use of one's self and one's resources—the best investment of time, strength, and means. He who makes no such sacrifice is most to be pitted. He is a heathen because he knows nothing of God.—Samuel Chapman Armstrong. Thy Friend.
