That "the prayers of the righteous availeth much" and that "God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform" was evidenced last Tuesday when the Associated Press announced that Daniel Davis, a member of the jury that convicted Dr. Leroy M. Bundy on a charge of murder in connection with the race riot of East St. Louis was adjudged mentally incompetent by a commission appointed by the commission appointed by Dr. Bundy County Judge Schneider of Waterloo Ill. One of the attorneys for the defense says that all during the trial Davis is receiving thousands of letters pledging sympathy and assistance, and Kanas City will do its full share in financing whatever other legal procedure acted in a peculiar manner and could be seen talking to himself on several occasions, and it is alleged that he said to other members of the jury "I've done something wrong, I've done something wrong, I've done something wrong." Doubtless these facts, with other testimony that will be presented, will secure for Dr. Bundy a new trial which every fair minded citizen, white or colored, in these United States feel he is entitled to receive.

EDGAR DIBBLE It should be a source of pride and inspiration to every Negro in Greater Kansas City to witness the wonderful record being made by Dr. J. Edgar Dibble, one of the foremost physicians and surgeons of the race. Quiet and dignified in manner, extremely courteous in disposition and actively aggressive in all things pertaining to racial advancement, Dr. Dibble has been a distinct asset to the Negro people of this community in all the years he has resided here. A graduate of the famous Meharry Medical College, Dr. Dibble took a Post Graduate Course in one of the greatest medical schools in Philadelphia, and when he came to this city he was fully equipped to practice his profession, and his record has been one of continued success since being here. Dr. Dibble believes in opening up new fields, and more than a year ago had occasion to demonstrate his ability to the management of the Kansas City Nut and Bolt Works, that employs many hundreds of men. They were so impressed with his ability that he was LINCOLN HIGH AT CONVENTION THURSDAY EVENING MILITARY, FOLK and AES EXHIBITION ATHLETIC CONTESTS, A DISPLAY Balconies, 25c and 15c IN HIGH S LIT CONVENTION HALL NING FOLK and AESTHETIC EXHIBITION CONTESTS, ART and DISPLAY 15c The Kansas City Sun be seen talking to himself on several occasions, and it is alleged that he said to other members of the jury "I've done something wrong, I've done something wrong, I've done something wrong."

One of the positions held by Dr. Dibble that he prizes very highly is that of physician and surgeon to the Building Laborers' International Protective Union of America No. 1, the largest organization of Negroes in the West, being elected to this position by the Union over the heads of quite a number of other physicians who were applicants for the place. Possibly the greatest endorsement of his ability came only last week when he was selected by the famous Kansas City Southern Railway as local surgeon to care for all their colored employees which, to those who know, is a very responsible task. Dr. Dibble, during the recent world's war was commissioned first lieutenant and examined and prepared a great many of the successful candidates who received commissions at the Des Moines Training Camp. There are few men who have contributed more to the material and constructive development of the race in Kansas City than Dr. Dibble and the Negroes of the South and West are justly proud of him. AESTHETIC PHYSICAL BITION S, ART and FASHION PLAY Boxes, 35c DR. THOMPKINS' REPLY AN APPEAL TO PREJUDICE Mr. J. A. Wilson Comes Back With a Crushing Reply to Dr. William J. Thompkins' Article of Last Week. Editor Sun: I am pleased that my article on the soldiers' parade drew a reply from such a distinguished person as my friend, Dr. William J. Thompkins, who revealed himself as the organizer of the parade. There seems to be a difference of opinion between us concerning it. The Doctor naturally thought it was alright from beginning to end, a creditable affair and one "that marked a most eventful occasion for our city." The writer thought that a part of it was rendered disreputable by the motley, disorderly mob which was attached to it. After my article appeared several persons, unsolicited, expressed their approval of it and coincided with my views, and there is a young man here, a returned soldier, who was out of town at the time and who received a letter in which that feature of the parade was described as being disgraceful. I am surprised that the Doctor appears to think so lightly of my dreaming, as he full well knows that dreams have inspired some of the noblest and beneficial performances in the world's history. No doubt when he was a mere boy he had dreams of being some day a successful doctor, and the fulfillment of his dreams is a credit to himself and his race and all his many friends and acquaintances honor him for it. My interest in the progress of my race and my life in this city is an open book and I am willing to let the record speak for itself. The Doctor gave an interesting account of the fighting history of a portion of the 92nd Division of our soldiers in France, adding some doubtful statements as facts, and then took an unusual interest in the "old bandanna" Negro women and "men who have to earn their livelihood by the sweat of their brow." I do not make this charge against the Doctor specially and individually but the class of society he represents. Here is what he says of the disorderly mob that I yet maintain spoilt the parade: "Black as they were said to have been, but sweet, O God, with hearts white and true, simple and unkept as they were but whose textures represented not ill-gotten wealth but honest toll." This to my mind sounds "mushy"; it appears to be an attempt to "play to the gallery;" and is in the same class as the methods of certain white persons who when they, wish to ingratiate themselves in our favor, assures us of their sympathy for us because they "sucked a black mammy's breast." I beg to remind the Doctor that the manner in which he expresses his interest in certain classes of our people is "old stuff" and they are gradually "getting on to it." Dr. Thompkins is educated and intelligent and therefore has or should have a more than fair knowledge of the English language. I will not be so unfair as to accuse him of wilfully misrepresenting my words to reflect discredit on the soldiers or to intimate scorn for the poverty of their mothers, sisters or sweethearts, but I certainly challenge him to prove that any expression in my article could be so construed. In the first part of his reply the Doctor offered excuses for the manner of entertaining the soldiers which was not criticized and at its conclusion he likened the parade of a handful of men to "all the triumphal processes of history." This, however, is a custom of some members of the medical profession to mystify and enlarge ordinary things as when they prescribe chloride sodium for common salt and aquiline for hot water. It is not my intention to depreciate the merit of the Doctor or alter our social relation but it is time for us to get together and put our beautiful theories into practice and do something with or for the class of persons under discussion, for, and I agree with the Doctor, that "this is the crucial period of democracy and of reconstruction."

TO OUR PATRONS We increased the size of our paper, as you possibly noticed last week, adding one hundred and twelve inches of space, but we yet find it impossible to take care of all our business. We are issuing this week A TWELVE PAGE PAPER, the first time in the history of Negro journalism in Kansas City, and we want you to make it a permanent feature, because it is YOUR PAPER, and it can only be what YOU, our frieds, make it. THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. Our history, after 1910, may be read in our annual reports, and in the numbers of The Crisis. We opened two offices in the Evening Post Building, With Dr. DuBois came Mr. Frank M. Turner, a Wilberforce graduate, who has shown great efficiency in handling our books. In November of 1910 appeared the first number of The Crisis, with Dr. DuBois as editor, and Mary Dunlap Maclean, whose death has been the greatest loss the Association has known, as managing editor. Our propaganda work was put on a national footing, our legal work was well under way, and we are, in truth, a National Association, pledged to a nationwide work for justice to the Negro race. As I look back over the past ten years, I see that we have surmounted many difficulties. We have had to encounter the malicious perversion of our motives by those not in agreement with us, and to defend ourselves against insincere attack. We have also been obliged to reaffirm the integrity of our motives to those sincere critics who doubt that a democratic organization of white and colored people is possible. We have had to insist sometimes to our most ardent enthusiasts that we demand not faith alone but works. But throughout our ten years we have steadily gained in efficiency, in power and in national repute. Each year brings us many important questions, and each year we try to give them our wiest, most thoughtful decisions. We are striving to secure the constitutional rights of the colored people, to win "Jim Crow" cases, segregation cases, disfranchisement cases. This brings us in close relation with the courts, the most conservative institution in our commonwealth. At the same time we stand on the audaciously radical platform of the abolition of all caste. Shall we always be the voice of the prophet on the housetop, telling the Nation of its sins, or shall we endeavor to practice diplomacy, even in the midst of our agitation? This is a question that may never be satisfactorily answered; but it is interesting to note that the colored people have come to us with their warmest allegiance in proportion to the constructive work we have been able to do. As one of their distinguished scholars wrote me at the close of the Associations' first Conference: "I trust that the Conference will result in real work, I am beginning to feel that too much time is wasted in talk which issues no definite action or plan of action. There is an immense amount of work to be done in many lines, and when I say work, I do not exclude agitation which is in itself a real work, but needs to be organized just as any successful organization. "Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide. In the strife of truth with falsehood for the good or evil side; Some great cause, God's new Messiah, offering each the bloom or blight; Parts the goats upon the left hand, and the sheep upon the right; And the choice goes by forever 'twix that darkness and that light. "Then to side with truth is noble when we share her wretched crust Doubling in his abject spirit, till his Lord is criedless. And the multitude makes virtue of the faith they had denied." (The End.)

A Wilson—Endorsed by Hon. J. A. Meservey, Former City Counselor and one of Kansas City's Most Distinguished Citizens. Dr. William J. Thompkins, 1509 East 18th Street, Kansas City, Mo. Dear Dr. Thompkins: I want to congratulate you on your article which appears in today's Kansas City Sun, relating to the parade of the 92d Division contingent in Kansas City. I did not read J. A. Wilson's article, but I did see the parade, and I was filled with pride at the enthusiasm and "pep" shown, not only by the returning soldiers but by their friends who followed them through the streets. As the parade passed our building I could not but call to mind another parade that I saw in the city of Cologne in the early part of 1915, when several companies of Germans were being inducted into the service of that country. These men were followed to the training camp by their wives and children, and as they were about to discard their clothes for the German uniform, they naturally wore their old clothes. Notwithstanding the fact that everyone of the men had received several years' military training, they were as motley and disheartened a group of men as I ever saw, and their wives and children looked, as they doubtless felt, as if they expected their husbands and fathers never to return. Our men went to war with smiles on their faces, and accompanied by the cheers and good wishes of all their friends, and they are returning with their heads up and with the consciousness of having fought bravely for a good cause. The difference between the two parades presented a remarkable contrast. The men of the 92nd Division were all heroes, and while it is true that they were flanked, "covered and hidden" by an enthusiastic group of friends and relatives, it was but an evidence of the affection and pride in the soldierly conduct of these heroes. I think the Negro race ought to be proud of the spirit which was shown by the soldiers when they enlist, as well as when they returned, and I am glad that you have replied to any criticisms which have been made either of the parade, the soldiers in it, or to friends who received them so cordially. Yours sincerely, EDWIN C. MESERVEY. A SPLENDID PHARMACIST. Mr. Alexander Lee, pharmacist, employed by Dr. E. S. Lee at the Palace Drug Store, 12th and Woodland, was one of five successful candidates to register as a pharmacist in the state of Kansas by an examination held in the University at Lawrence last February. There were twenty-two applicants, he being the only Negro. No one should hesitate to take their prescriptions to a store where they will be correctly and reasonably filled by such competent druggists as Dr. E. S. Lee, who has been in the business for twenty-five years, and his efficient clerk. Alexander Lee, who for more than ten years has served in some of our best drug stores as a prescription druggist in Missouri and Illinois, where he is now registered. Our physicians should use every opportunity to impress upon their patients the great advantage gained by their support and recognition of ability in their own race. JOIN THE KNIGHTS OF TABOR.

TALES FROM BIG CITIES "Uncle Joe" Cannon; Fair Exchange; No Robbery "Uncle Joe" Cannon; Fair Exchange; No Robbery DANVILLE, ILL.-Folks in this neck of woods are having a good laugh at the expense of "Uncle Joe" Cannon. It isn't often anyone gets the laugh on Uncle Joe. He cut his eye teeth some years ago—he was born in 1836, and first bank. Anyway, Uncle Joe came home when congress quit to enjoy the shade of his own vine and fig tree and other delights of spring in the Sucker state—which wasn't named after him. All of a sudden it occurred to him that he'd pay old Tuscola a little visit. So he grabbed the first vallse that came handy, packed it in a hurry and hustled off to catch the first train. Of course nobody knows all that Uncle Joe puts in a travelling bag when he packs it himself in a hurry. But it may be safely assumed that he begins by putting in a liberal supply of those long, black cigars which are part of his smile that won't come off. It is also quite likely that he shimshes packing by putting in some more long black cigars—in case of emergency. Of course, somewhere in between he sticks in a nighttie and such things. Well, Uncle Joe, being able to find the way around by himself, got to Tuscola all right. And when he opened up his vallse to get his nightite he sound a postal map. And there were no long, black cigars—just a postal guide. Evidently Uncle Joe and a postal clerk had exchanged bags. Old Mrs. Two Toes Goes to Join Old Two Toes Old Mrs. Two Toes Goes to Join Old Two Toes STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLO.—Old Mrs. Two Toes has been captured at last, and Albert McIntyre of the United States biological survey, who got Old Two Toes two years ago, is the lucky trapper. It was at least 12 years ago into the region in 1915. It took him two years to get Old Two Toes—and the capture was an adventure in itself. At the capture of Old Two Toes word went out through wolfdom that the old queen of the Laramie headwaters was without a mate. There was a big dog wolf over in the Castle region, near the confluence of the Eagle and Grand rivers, noted for his capacity and cunning. He got the word and at once started for the headwaters of the Laramie. He has peculiar markings and his progress across Middle and North parks was traced with absolute certainty. He mated with the widowed queen. For two years litters of young wolves have been brought forth nigh up on Bull mountain in the lodgepole pines and down timber. The crafty old queen hid them so well that the government trappers could get only a few of the young wolves. Her teeth were badly worn from age, but her new consort was a good provider and her cunning was as great as ever. With the scalps of Old Two Toes and Old Mrs. Two Toes hanging from his belt, McIntyre says the Laramie headwaters will soon be cleared of wolves Wanted: Anybody Who Knows How to Milk a Whale SAN FRANCISCO—How would you milk a whale?

Allegiance to Spring Styles Western Newspaper Union Vagaries In Blouse Styles THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY No wonder the French are fond of beige. Time demonstrates that we never grow tired of this refined and beautiful color, which ranks with white in these two particulars. Besides this, it goes well with all other colors, as white does. The spring is welcomed by many a pretty suit in beige-colored wool and many rich and handsome ones in beige-colored tri-colore and other silk weaves. The one-piece dresses reveal this color a favorite with their designers, often in combination with other colored fabrics or brightened by rich embroideries. A suit of beige tricot shown in the picture is a fine example of harmonizing color and design. Here there is the same "class" in the design as in the cloth. It is made with a plain skirt, and very neat machine stitching is an important detail in its finishing. The skirt is instep length and just wide enough for comfortable walking. The neat effect of machine stitching is emphasized by placing it on narrow panels, rounded at the ends, that are applied around the coat. It appears again on the front of the coat, where a wide panel is cut to form pockets at the sides, and again on the narrow belt of the tricolor. The small, round buttons are covered with the cloth. Vagaries In E Combed wools and angora yarns are playing conspicuous parts in the spring styles. They appear everywhere, the combed wool in accessories of suits and coats as vestes, collars, cuffs, and the yarns in embroideries on dresses and millinery and in other forms. As nothing escapes the industrious eyes of the designers of walts the vogue for wool embroidery soon brought grist to their mills, for they appropriated the idea and have used it on blouses, adding one more to the many interesting vagariar that make the blouses of the season attractive. One would not expect wool yarn to travel hand in hand with georgette crepe, but it does, and successfully, as is witnessed by the blouse shown in the picture. This model is of dark plum-colored crepe, ornamented with scattered spirals of beige-colored embroidery. Its front is extended into a little apron rounded at the bottom. Fancy stitching finishes the hems and outline the round neck, and these are of silk 'like the pendant silk ornaments that finish the tie ends that are sewed to the front of the blouse. The tie ends are unexpected', but altogether charming as a finishing touch. The To Enliven the Spring Costume. To Enliven the Spring Costume. The first thing is an imported beaded bag made like the handkerchief bags your small niece used to send you at Christmas. The background is of blue beads, in a shade brighter than navy, and the flowers and foliage are worked out in natural colors. The under part of the bags is navy silk, from which dangles a tassel of beads. The bag draws up through a ring of beads by a bead handle. The next bag is a descendant of the canteen bag, which has had its day of The second suit is of gray wool velours, with a rose-colored vestee of combed wool, which is a smart detail that lends its character. Besides its vestee, this suit takes advantage of the vogue for small buttons set in a row, to proclaim its allegiance to the decrees of fashion. It is perfectly tailored and has practical pockets to recommend it to the tailor-made girl. Its wearer is correct in the matter of shoes to wear with it, selecting low-heeled oxford, and a brilliant rough straw hat crowns the costume perfectly. Silk Thread for Childrens' Wear Always sew children's wear with A No. 1 quality silk thread—the best to be had. In the long run it will prove the best paying investment in your children's clothes that you have ever hit upon. Silk thread is stronger than cotton; it does not roughen in the laundering nor is it so brittle and inclined to break off or snap in the seam. In ginghams, percales and other fabrics of children's wearing apparel the silk slinks deep into the mesh of the goods and holds far better with a thread of similar quality and texture as the apparel. Numerous mothers have vouchered for the value of this practice. Blouse Styles sleeves have a close-fitting cuff fastened to a flowing upper sleeve. The other waist is of taupe-colored crepe, with front and sleeves embroidered with silk of the same color. It is another one of the several models that have extensions below the waistline, and it contrives a very original management of this feature of the styles by having two long tabs at each side gathered into silk tassels. Besides achieving this something new, the blouse has another merit in a very wide, soft girdle of the georgette, and it takes advantage of the opportunity to use a small sailor collar on the round neck. Many round-necked blouses are finished with frills. Julia Bottomly Chambray hats for the kiddies have again appeared this season, and these show stitched brims and large, puffy crowns of the fabric, with wide black velvet bands and streamers, and sometimes trimmed with little gingham flowers. popularity. It is black, of pin seal, and is fitted with coin purse and mirror top. The last bag is another imported one of beads. It is of blue with red and white motifs. The open top may be drawn tight through the rings. One-Piece Frocks. There are to be many one-piece street frocks of cloth and wool and tricollette worn during the early spring, to be replaced later by silk jersey and lighter weight clothes. GREAT EVENT FOR MOSLEMS Gala Day When the "Procession of the Holy Carpet" Leaves Cairo for City of Mecca. Always picturesque, Cairo is never more fascinating than during the "Procession of the Holy Carpet." In the bazaars we watch the barefoot workmen embroidering, holding the cloth in their toes, which appear to be prehensile, or watch them go to the nearest mosque to bathe five times a day. As many times a day also from the minarets of mosques the muezzins are reminding the natives of the approaching festival, and that "God is great, there is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet. Come to Prayer." Howling dervishes are dancing in the mosque near the Square of Sutten Hasan, while devout Moslems are engaged in eventide prayer on their housetops. Water carriers are on the way to the yellow Nile for water, or are bearing wine in their goatskins the same as in Biblical times, while aged men in the mosques are apparated exactly as in Abraham's day. The streets are filled with soldiers, while thousands of civilians attend the ceremonial held in the sacred prophetec inclosure in the great square near the citadel. The enclosure is a pyramidal wooden structure covered with embroidered stuffs embrazoned with gold embroidery and quotations from the Koran. Here the people receive the blessings of the prophet, together with special dispensions and sacred talismans. The khedive and his dignitaries are all present to formally start the caravan and its military escort toward Mecca, in far-off Arabia. The people press forward to touch the sacred incclosure, kissing it with fervor. Women let down their shawls and face veils from the windows, as the procession at last starts. Following it are the pilgrims who will accompany the carpet to the sanctuary in the mosque at Mecca, and who will return later with the same caravan to Cairo, bearing the carpet of the previous year. Marriage in Bulgaria. Since Bulgaria's unconditional surrender to the allies the men of her armies have been straggling homeward and many weddings are being celebrated in consequence. Bulgarian methods of entertaining before the wedding do not differ materially from those of other nations except that the bride instead of having her trousseau carefully put away in the "hope chest," from which she only takes it for the privileged few, hangs it up on cords which are stretched across the main room of the house. Here it is viewed on the Friday before the wedding by all the matrons of the town, while the bride and the maidens dance before the door and remain there until the matrons have given their full criticism of each garment, and if they disprove of them the girls must help the bride make them over until "suitable." Instead of rice, corn as an emblem of plenty, is showered over the bride and groom, who are escorted to their home with many ceremonies and they are virtually imprisoned within its doors. New Uses of Raw Products New Uses or Raw Products. The Weltmatt directive attention to new uses of some raw products. In Holland a useful gum or paste is being made from garlic. The bulbs are pressed and the juice or fluid matter so obtained is thickened by inspissation. A good substitute for cork is obtained from certain fungi, which are dried and ground, mixed with cement and consolidated by pressure. In Norway a process has been patented to enable carbide to be used for driving motors. In Denmark a company has been floated to make briequettes from heather. These have a higher heat value than peat. Experiments are being made to use chalk marl, especially that which comes from the Limburg mines, as a manure. Typhoon Hurt Coconut Tree Typhoon Hurt Coconut Trees. The Christmas typhoon which swept over the southern Philippine islands did considerable damage to the coconut plantations. Trees, especially those along the seashore and places most open to the wind, were either blown down or weakened to such a degree that unless the affected groves are cleaned up and taken care of, the trees still standing are doomed, but for another reason, says the bureau of agriculture. The fallen trunks will become breeding places of all manner of beetles, borers and other coconut destroying pests and diseases. The weakened trees, unable to fight these odds, will sooner or later succumb and thus the farmers will suffer more losses. Got Him at Last. He was a large, dapple-gray, sensible-looking horse. It was his task to pull a baker's wagon from house to house in a district on the North side, as the driver dodged in and out of the houses with his basket of bread and cakes. "Fritz," called out the driver as he ran down the porch steps, intending that as a notice to his faithful friend to move on down the street. The horse did not move.

Washington Memorial to Bishop Francis Asbury Washington Memorial to Bishop Francis Asbury N THE last hours of the Sixty-fifth congress Representative Charles H. Sloan of Nebraska made an address in favor of senate joint resolution authorizing the erection on public ground in Washington, D. C., of a memorial ple whom he hoped to serve in their struggle for an independent nationality, while every one of his coworkers sent from England by Wesley went back to the mother country. "The seashore and the great river banks had the important settlements of America. Many of them would have furnished a suitable home for a bishop, but this he did not desire nor would he have it. He believed that the outposts of American civilization should be the outposts of Methodism. He would be a commander to lead a charge rather than to order an advance made. So from 1784, when he was ordained a bishop, till 1816, when he passed to his reward, no road was too long to travel, no river too turbulent to cross, no storm too fearful to venture, no savage that he would not face, no civilized man or mob he would not confront. "At the Saratoga general conference in May, 1916, on the commemoration of the centennial of Bishop Asbury's death, Judge Henry Wade Rogers in a masterly address, said: "Asbury preached about 16,500 sermons; traveled about 270,000 miles, most of it on horseback, some of it on foot; presided in 224 annual conferences, and ordained more than 4,000 preachers. In addition, he was writing more than 1,000 letters a year." Will December 31 Be the National Wedding Day? YOUNG men contemplating matrimony will do well to bear in mind the latest interpretation of the law. The man who was married at any time during 1918, a commissioner has ruled, is entitled to tax exemption for a wife a population of 260,000. This is to say that December 31 there was one marriage to 20,000 people. If there were marriages December 31 all over the country in the same proportion among our 110,000,000 people, the total was 5,500. As each marriage carried with it an exemption of $2,000, the aggregate exemption was $11,000,000. In short, the account stands thus: Tax exemptions, $11,000,000, without the expense of wives for a year and with only wedding expenses to be considered. Will this bring about a radical change in the popular wedding season? Will December hereafter be the season of brides and June be thrown into the discard? Will December 31 be the one great marrying day of the whole year? Will it come to be the big national holiday of the year, bigger than Christmas, the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving day? Will it be combined with New Year's day in a double holiday? United States Has $574,000,000 for Good Roads WITH full state co-operation, according to the terms of the federal aid road act, the United States will have a total of at least $574,000,000 for co-operative road building during the next three years. The federal part of any government in the history of the world. In connection with the great federal aid program it is also noted that expenditures for highway work in the United States this year are likely to amount to $500,000,000 or more. On reports received from state highway departments the bureau of public roads estimates the 1919 expenditures for roads and bridges at $385,000,000, or $110,000,000 more than the average expenditures for 1916 and 1917. The now act also raises the government limit of contribution from not to exceed $10,000 a mile to not to exceed $20,000 a mile, taking account of higher present costs of labor and materials.

Mr. Sloan said among other things: "He was born in the parish of Handsworth, England, August 20, 1745.

In the inner pocket of his vest there was also, reposing snugly, a bank- book. “Was it true?” she called anstously as he entered. “Was it really and truly true?” “As true as ever was, sweetheart,” he answered chuckling, as he eame Into her presence, “And here Is an- other present,” “What!

How ts that?” “The man who owned the fifteen thousand dollars’ worth of pearls pald the reward and refused to ask any questions; but I insisted in making a {full explanation.

Here is a bit of description from a letter | written from Kief In 1018: “Easter Is the greatest festival of all the year; | we drove out to the ‘Larva,’ the oldest monastery and the richest In all Russia, Can you taagine « huge courtyard surrounded by a 40-foot wall and Immense covered gateway, groups of large white Dulldings all ablaze with light, with the snow for doors open, the inside lighted by a thousand can: ales, and the chanting of 1,500 priests. In the ‘open courtyard were thousands of soldiers with uncovered heads, each bearing a lighted candle, To the right stands the bell tower, a wonderful structure over 200 feet high. At the strpke of 12 the most wonderful bells in Russia peas forth as you have never heard bells in America, Thousands of volces cry ‘Christ fs risen,” and the priests come forth and march around the building.” In the days before the great war no festivals in Burope attracted so many forelgners us the cele- bration in Rome of the holy week. It was not ‘unusual for more than 10,000 visitors to be pres- ent, a large proportion of them being English and Americans—and also Protestants. Doubtless there will be many visitors this Easter season, Easter Sunday is the culmination of the ceremonies, The pope himself officiates at high mass in St. Peter's with the most gorgeous ritual. It ts after he ex- tends his blessing that the papers containing pray- ers are thrown down from his balcony to be scrambled for by the congregation.

It ts then made use of to light candles with which every worshiper 1s equipped. ‘The intention is to sym- bolize the descent of the Holy Spirit, ‘The candles fare kept as sacred relies and are relighted only at marriages, births and deaths, ‘The reception of the fire is the work of the Patriarch. He appears at the head of a gorgeous Procession of ecclestasties—bishops, archbishops and priests. He leads his followers three times around the holy tomb and enters when passing the doorway the third time, leaving his followers standing by. Shortly after the “holy fire” appears through the opening in the form of a blazing torch. Men have been appointed to snatch the torch, These light their own cundles and pass it on to thelr neighbors; every burning candice be comes a train leading on the snered fire to a hun- dred others. Robert Hichens' description of the scene Is in part this: “It came at last. With a flerce gesture as of savage exultation the long-haired priest withdrew his arm from the hole and held up a great bunch of flaming candies. And then delirium selzed the close-packed thousands, All the mouths opened to Jet out yells, shrieks and the wild titterings of women, All the arms gestleulated with frenzy toward the smoky yellow flames. All the bodies struggled desperately, cruelly to get to them. And the priest dipped his tore, and suddenly fire be- gan to rush through the great church, ‘The patri- arch tore out of the holy sepulcher and fell in the Greek cathedral with the fire in bis hands. From the balconies near the blue star-spangled dome masses of candies were let down by long cords, were lighted by priests below and were drawn up flaming. Fire encircled the rotunda, three tiers of fire... . Through the glare, the smoke, the roaring, the procession... bishops and priests, accompanied by ssk2tura, by acolytes, by banner beurers, by canvases beating the floor with thelr staves... . Down the avenue of banners and muskets and torches came bearded and long-haired men in magoificeat vestments, . = « nd the gorgeous Armenians, almost like mov- ing idols, clad in the Jewels of their wonderful treasury; and the witheredlooking Copts and the astounding Abyssinians, in magenta, with partly shaved heads and great tufts of coarse hair, lke the gaudy puppets that people a nightmare.” From time immemorial the Christians of Jeru- salem have observed the events of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection In complete and dramatic fashion, and {t was from Jerusalem that Easter customs spread to other parts of the world. The earllest record of these observances 1s in 885, At that time the Christians strove to realize by ap- propriate ceremony and ritual the events of the last acts in the Ife of Jesus. Each event was com- memorated, as far as possible, on the spot of its occurrence. The proper passages from the Gospel were read and appropriate prayers were said as the clergy and people went in procession from place to place—Bethany, Gethsemane, Golgotha, the sepuleher and Olivet. It was during the mid: dle ages that the character of the ceremonies changed greatly, taking on spectacular features which have persisted to the present day. ‘Pradition with more or less accuracy has fixed the course of the Via Dolorosa and the 14 stations at which the chief events on the way to the cross ‘ocurred, It is followed by thousands of visitors on Easter week, ‘Easter 18 the principal festival of the Christian In a few remote places the legend Ungers that the sun dances in the skles when {t rises on Easter morning, Some of the Irish peasantry even now rise before dawn and go out to a bill top to watch the “sun dance,” for it is ‘sald that those who do so will get thelr wishes, At one time thfy belief prevailed ‘throughout the British isles, Herrick Se Year for the reason that It commemorates the res urrection of Jesus. In the words of Paul, “It Christ be not risen, then ts our preaching vain and your fatth is also vain.” “But” he says, “now 1s Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that sleep.” Which Is to say that the Christian religion stands on the resurrection of Jesus. Pagan Rites Survive. But the Easter season {s observed by millions who are not even nominally Christians. ‘They do hot celebrate the resurrection of Christ, but rather the end of winter, the approuch of spring, the be: ginning of life in nature after the long sleep of winter. Celebrations of this kind antedate re- corded history, When Christianity came into the world the Christian church adopted and modified such of these pagan rites of celebration as it could not abolish, ‘This nccounts for the many queer rites of the Christian observance of Easter in various parts of the world. They are pagan rites that had thely origin in the removest past, and have been modified by tlme and custom and w changed meaning. ‘Thus the parade of fashion to Easter morning church services in the large American cities. had {ts origin ages ago In the superstition that failure to wear at least one new plece of clothing would bring bad luck during the year, ‘The use of the egg as a symbol of new life is far older than Chrls tunity, The Easter rabbit is a survival of an old, old superstition, ‘The use of flowers as an expres slon of rejoleing is probably almost as old as man himself. ‘The paschal candles are in another form the bonfires lighted by our remote ancestors to celebrate the arrivul of spring. Just how the rabbits managed to get lito the Easter celebration nobody seems to be able to find out with any certainty, Anyway, they are not properly rabbits; they are hires, Undoubtedly the association of the hare with Easter and its eggs was Introduced here by the Germans, but where they got the idea is what none of the antl quarians have been able to learn to their satisfac ton, As far as they have gone they figure this way: The relation between the moon and the hare {s fairly close, ‘The relation of the moon to Easter {s very close. Gradually in ancient times the hare seems to have become associated with Easter and with Easter eggs. Easter ang the Egg. Easter without eges—fresb Iaid, dyed and sugar would he like Christmas without Santa Claus, the stocking and the tree, And the association of the egg with Buster Is ersily explained. Many of the old peoples of earth have used the exg from time {immemorial as the symbol of the germ of life, ‘The wise men of old taught that the world was hatched from an egg. All over the pagan world it signified fertility and potential life, The place of the egg Was therefore firmly fixed In the spring celebrations that long untedated Christ and the Chéstian Easter, ‘The Christian chureh found the egg so firmly established as an Easter symbol that it could not be dislodged, ‘Therefore. the church adopted the egg and adopted {t as a sym bol of the resurrection. In the transition of Easter from a heathen to a Christian festival the tradi tion of the egg stands unbroken. When the cot oring of eggs began, to the Christian the white stood for the immaculate conception; the red for the blood of the redemption, and the yellow for the dawn of the resurrection mor, It Js natural that many queer relies of ancien egg customs should have survived, white many have died on the way. For instance, the rulers of earth no jonger indulge In Easter eggs wholesale ‘After the Easter celebration found its way intd France every hen roost in the country was searched for the largest eggs, which were taken as a tribute to the king, And after the Enste high mass In the chapel of the Louvre there were brought into the royal cabinet pyramids of gilded eggs decked with verdure. ‘The chaplain, afte blessing them, distributed them among the persous of the court in the presence of his most Christiay majesty. In the time of Henry 1, eggs were in geeat de mand on Easter morn, In the tower Is an ol royal roll with an account of entry, “18d for 40 eggs to be used for ornamental purposes fo Easter.” ‘That the whole world associates the egg wit Easter is shown by the fnet that the Christiar ehildren in Mesopotamia play the same game ai Easter of “picking” eggs that American boys do In England in many places the boys and girl “roll” thelr colored eggs, Just as the Washiugtor children do on the White House grounds, Thi White House egg-rolling, by the way, Is quite ¢ celebration and as a curious spectacle 1s wort feelng. ‘There are many curious customs that obtain a Raster that have nothing to do with the day Both the Greek Christian and Latin Christian churches hold elaborate celebrations.

One day they drill, next day they won't, The Captain raises sand; Some day he'll fill the guard house up With every soldier man. And if I am out (I'll try to be), I'll hear just what they say; I guess they'll think their God is false, That there is no use to pray. They can sing and pray, these wonderful men; God loves them, I am sure; They can steal and gamble just as well. Now then they run from far and near, Mess is one formation sure.

Leonard R. Jackson, Co. H, 815th Pioneer Inf. Reg. We are a Company of the $15th, Organized in Funston town. We have cut no shine, on the battle line, But on another we have great re- nown. We have had quite a bit of training, At drilling we are not slow, But any old time we hit a mess line Something has got to go. The German General, Von Hinden- burg. Could drive man-power some; He could take a hill against the Al- lies' will And not a man would run. He formed a line that was so strong It held for three years or more But I'll tell you now, had it led to chow We would have broken it long ago. Kaiser Bill was a greedy boy. He took a bite that was too big; He sicked his Hindenburg dog on a full grown hog— He thought it was a pig. Now we never had a chance at Hin denburg's line. And I don't know what we would do, But they are wasting time with the old mess line, For we will break it half into. No wander-lust brought us across the sea, It was our Uncle Sammy's needs; The time was then that noble men Were joined in nobler deeds. Now we wonder when we will get back home, We would certainly like to go. But the time is not long, it's just like a song— Hark! The old mess whistle's blow. When the long hikes on the stony roads Caused palms down in our feet, We share our troubles with the old mess kit. That makes our bitters sweet. We never squabble with our cooks, Nor anger these men at all. For when the old pack has nearly For when the old pack has nearly broken your back There's joy in the old mess call. We have won fame, I have said before. We will soldier until we are free, And store our troubles away with the For there are dangers on every hand. But we will never forget, while we live, you bet, The mess line in no man's land. Possible Granary. The harvesting of the corn crops in Venezuela commences in September or October. In most sections of the country only one crop is raised annually, though with irrigation there could easily be two. Most of the corn raised in Venezuela is white, and the market for this is not so good in the West indies as for the yellow varieties. In case of any deficit in the corn crop in the United States, Venezuela might well be considered as an available source of supply. Metric Denominations.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN SATURDAY APRIL 12, 1919 The New County Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes will be ready for occupancy on or about June 1st. Judge Bulger has splendidly kept his promise to the Colored people and everlasting credit is due Dr. Howard M. Smith for this splendid building. BY ARCHIE CAMERON NEW (Copyright, 1918, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) John Gates came out of a trance-like stupor and stared in disgust. He had not been the victim of a bad dream. No, he shivered, would that life were like that dream! Two minutes before there had danced before his vision a picture of an old grist mill. He could see the trees lazily and happily brushing their leaves with every puff of wind, and the little dam that laughingly dashed its spray against its rocky formation. And his father, with his kindly old eyes and stooped shoulders, pouring into the mill's grist fine whole wheat. And then he saw the pure-white flour, so much in keeping with the sacredly pure precincts about which he had scanned years before, barefoot, poor, but happy. And then the sweet smile of his mother—that dear, kindly soul, whose happiest mission was ministration to his boyish whims and an appreciative father's wants. And then he woke up! For a moment he surveyed ginself sady. Those bare toes of his boyhood were now encased in rich, comfortable shoes, showing off in marked contrast the worn carpet on which they rested. He fingered nervously the well-tailored clothes that long since had replaced torn, ragged overalls, and smiled bitterly. And then he looked up! An old man bent over a desk several feet away seemed to remind him of the old miller, his father, with his sparse gray hairs and stooped shoulders—until he looked up. A pair of rascally, running eyes met Gates' furtively, and then darted to a rough-looking individual waiting, as was Gates, on one of the chairs in a row about the wall of the large outer of office. A buzzer sounded and the door of the inner sanctum opened. "It's your turn next," huskily whispered the old man to the other. "Leave it to Jerry Bletzman. He'll fix you up." The man grunted unintelligibly and rose hesitantly to his feet. He, like most of his waiting brethren, had come to be fitted up." And Bletzman, the far-famed P. Gerald Bletzman, self-styled "counselor at law," was to do the fixing, or rather, the "unfixing." For Bletzman's many hired benchmen proclaimed that no matrimonial knot was too hard for their patron to unite. "Jes' leave it it 'me'," boomed a raucous voice, which states recognized as Bletzman's as he hurriedly pushed a spider-looking young man out of his office. "Til get sometime' on her. They ain't none of' them too toyf Bletzman, are they, Pete?" Pete, his assistant, acquiesced speedily with a chuckle, and Bletzman bent a beady eye on the man who stood close to Pete's desk. "Come right in." he welcomed the other savely, having a sweet palm on the client's sleeve. "Pete, bring th' gentleman's card in—now." The door slammed and again the outer office subsided into a low murmur of voices. So, mused Gates, this was what he had come to. A place where the sacred ties of marriage and motherhood were banded about like packing boxes and card-indexed, like a case of measles. Br-er- And across the room, instead of the sweet smile of his mother, a gray-haired woman in gay clothes smirked fraternally at him while waiting her turn. This drove Gates' eyes to his lap, on which rested a gates package, which he now united. Dragging forth a yellowish paper, he fell to reading it, and again it conjured forth visions from out of a happy past. There was a great high-ceilinged parlor, smelling delicately of fresh-picked blossoms, and echoing the sound of many laughing voices and the crinkle of many stiff party dresses. And a rose-bower in the center, under which an ecstatic couple were receiving congratulations. And Gates, as he read his marriage license, heard anew, as if it were yesterday, the little old pastor's solemn warning, "Whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." "Purty well prepared, ain't yuh, misher?" The voice at Gates' elbow caused him to thrust the paper back in the packet, as he looked up to meet the beer of the man on his right. "My old woman swiped mine," continued the other, enviously. "Leastways, she must given it t' t'h' guy she 'loped with. Cost me fifty extra t' get a new one. Ain't women th' darnest yeas?" Gates stared at him unseeingly, but the last remark caused him to shiver anew. Lucille, his wife, a yegg? Never! She was a fine girl, through and through. They just couldn't get along—that was all. And some one had suggested Bletzman to him, and— "Y'll come outa th' mill sadder an poorer," coundsaff another wailing one. "Bletzman'll see t' that." SALINA, KANSAS. Rev. W. P.

We hope she will soon be well and out of danger Mrs. Hansburg, the mother of Mr. James Hill, 2100 North 3rd street, is very low and has had to call in a trained nurse.

Mr. Alfred Bartell, who has been quite ill for several months, underwent an operation at the Bell Memorial Hospital this week. His many friends hope for his recovery. Pleasant Green Baptist Church, which was opened last Sunday, March 30th, reports excellent services and say they are beginning to get used to their magnificent edifice. Nineteen dollars and eighty-six cents were collected Sunday. Rev. S. E. J. Watson of Shiloh Baptist Church conducted revival services. There are 140 candidates for baptism.

Mrs. Ella Harvey, 1910 East 26th street, Kansas City, Mo., entertained with a "shower" the infant son, Louis G. Fullbright, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. G. Fullbright, 2109 North 3rd street, April 4th, at which there were more than fifty mothers and babies present. The presents were many and of value, one especially so, as it was a deed to a lot in Kansas City, Mo. The house was tastefully decorated with American Beauty roses and carnations. The souvenirs were Easter novelties. The guests were served daintily with ice cream, lady fingers, salted almonds and A. D. mints. The guests of honor were Mesdames M. Mitchell and Brown of Kansas City, Mo. The joint entertainment given by the Eighth Street Baptist Church and Mt. Pleasant was quite a success and a neat sum was realized. There were four young ladies contesting for a prize which was to be given to the young lady raising the most money from the sale of tickets to the entertainment. The young ladies were: Eighth Street Church, Misses Pansy Wilson and Marion Philips; Mt. Pleasant Church, Misses Bertha Mansfield and Mary Lee Manley. The Eighth Street girls sold $44.80 and Mt. Pleasant girls $92.25, thereby getting both prizes, which were $5 and $2 respectively. The total amount including the refreshments was $149.05. Each church received one-half. The program which was rendered was of a high quality, and judging by the encuring, everyone seemed to enjoy the same. Musical numbers were rendered by the Alabama Quartet and members from the choir of each of the churches. MT. PLEASANT BAPTIST CHURCH Third and Oakland Has a Railroad Rally—Goes Over the Top. Sunday, April 6th, was a great day with the members of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. It being the first Sunday in the month, it was Communion as well as Rally Day. The pastor, Rev. J. R. Richardson, conducted all the services and was at his best and many hearts were made to rejoice and say, we were glad that we came up to the House of the Lord. After he had made all hearts to rejoice as only he knows how, he then went into the other part of the service, which was the calling of the trains on the different lines. The purpose of the rally was to see which road or line would have the most paid fares for the excursion, which in itself would be a race from one division to the other. As the names of the different lines were called they responded as follows: Burlington, Sister Cobbs.. $ 64.60 Wabash, Brother Durham .. 158.50 C. G. Western, Brother Harris .. 120.50 C. & A.

We are going to publish at an early date the photograph of the church as it will appear when finished. The basement is at this time nearing completion and the cry is "no rest until completed." After the evening services, in which there were four added to the church we all joined in and old fashioned handshake and went to our several homes praising and thanking the Lord for His goodness and mercy, which endureth forever.

Betty & Sam's Little Corner —That if you're going to be ready for Easter you've got to hustle, for it's only one week longer. —That if you criticise an old maid for wearing a short skirt, she gets terribly angry, but who wants to see an old maid with short skirts, anyhow? —That the Negro who says he is loyal to his race and fails to patronize any of its enterprises, is—well, figure it out for yourself. —That if some enterprising Negro with plenty of pep and vision would rejuvenate Lincoln Park, he could make a fortune. Well, that's no lie. —That those people who become so very angry when our collectors ask them to pay for their paper are usually the kind who are always scheming to get something for nothing. —That a certain sweet thing converted in a recent revival and asked to give her testimony, said "Dear brethren and sisters, I love the Lord and I am ready to do anything he asks me so long as its honorable."

After that there were no more invited guests. —That a newly made widow whose deceased husband was something of a hummer during his life time, went to the monument shop to order a tomb-stone and after finding one to suit her, asked the tombstone man what would be a fitting inscription to place upon it, and after various suggestions, he finally said, "How would Gone Home do?" She thought for a few moments, and then said, "I guess that would do all right, because that was the last place he thought about going when he was here." —That the following, accredited to our good friend, Judge Ralph S. Latshaw, is true to life. He said that when Rastus and Sam died they took different routes; so when the latter got to heaven he called Rastus on the phone. "Rastus," he said, "how yo' like it down thar?" "Oh, boy! Dis here am some place," replied Rastus. "All we has ter do is to wear a red suit wid horns, an' ebery now an' den shovel some coal on de fire. We don't work no mo' dan two hours out ob de twenty-four down here.

Since our personal characters are so closely related to the lives of our fellowmen, we must seek to render our own largest contribution to the world in association with others. The most tragic evils in the world are those that fall upon men and women in groups. Illustrations of such evils are seen in the depressed family life of the very poor in the cities and remote country districts, in various aspects of the present day industrial system, and in the injustice practiced by strong aces upon weaker peoples. The difficulties incident to cooperative effort are also to be considered. What are they? We do not all see things from the same standpoint; while it is necessary that our interests should be identical, to secure the best results, we will not all see alike, some wanting things done their way, and some another. Because of our inability to see a better way we divide, and each one does what seems right in his own eyes. In this way our cause is weakened and gives the advantage to the enemy. The influences that promote evil are always closely united, and no one ever heard of the failure of the plans of grafters, oppressors of the poor, and corruptors of public morals when good people were divided. Sometimes we add to the difficulty by our failure to perform well our share of the common task Many consider that their failure or in Allah Tem Mobles of the Big Stre and Carnival o At 17th a One Whole Week, Will offer 20 Diversified Concert Band, 2 Jazz the Midway Every sational Free Ac to Amusement Public. lights and Something The hustling committee, composed of Nob Abrams, T.

SATURDAY APRIL 16 CON. TO 26 Page Four LEISURE HOUR REFLECTIONS FROM A QUIET CORNER. By Dennis S. Thompson. Cooperative effort is the order of the day, but there are many good people in this great world of ours, who do not really understand, nor appreciate the value of working together for the furthering of the things that seem best for all. There are always so many of us who feel that we can push the wheel alone, but that is a gross mistake; while there are individual efforts, it is certain that no one can accomplish anything big, alone. One often hears of the "self-made" man or woman, but surely no one would ever be able to attain to success without help from other sources, in which event working with others would become necessary. We are all indebted to the home, the church, the school and the society in which we move for the privilege of the developing of our lives. Our use of the opportunities of life may be somewhat different from the use someone else would make of them, but in every case "personality" is to the result of many comingling forces. It is impossible for anyone, no matter how great their influence to overcome the many difficulties in the world, by working alone. It is an actual fact that we are all dependent upon the advice, prayer, love and warning service of someone else in the building Sample No. 6 Mystic Shrine Sect Fair on the Streets and Paseo April 19 to 26, inclusive Shows, 3 Rides, 30 piece Bands, Free Acts on Hour--the Most Sen- s ever presented Thousands of electric Doing all the time.

We fail to bear in mind that the completion of the whole demands the completion of the separate parts. Let us beware of the day when our energy fails, and our efforts grow lukewarm, for our small part may be the very part that determines final success or defeat of the whole enterprise. Our difficulty in cooperation is oft-times increased through our failure of loyalty to our friends and co-workers. But whatever difficulty we may encounter they may be overcome. Christianity is the foundation which all successful work is built; every Christian possesses some good trait of character which it is possible to bring to the highest development. This is the basis of friendship and co-operation in good work, and if sought for with sufficient patience, we shall be able to find the common bond of interest and sympathy. One good work well performed inevitably leads to larger consequences. If, therefore, we wish to learn the art of co-operation in important matters, we must begin in small ways and advance by the trial and success method. Let us study the secret of all successful leadership. Great leaders have always been able to inspire men with the vision of vast possibilities larger achievements, undying rewards.

Come and see us --- monplace lives and made them think only of great things and great deeds. We can work with others when we are consumed with a large and unselfish passion. Cooperative effort along the proper lines is the stepping stone to all permanent success; on the other hand, we see around us each day the crumbling of great fortunes that have been built up by people through dishonest endeavor. Let us strive to hew to the line and build upon the sure foundation. We shall never regret the kind things that we may do for others, if they really spring from the kindly feelings and are not prompted by self interest. Many persons have won their influence and power simply by their kindness of heart when they had few other qualities to recommend them and without such kindness great talents have gone to waste. Of all forms of kindness the speaking of kind words is that which lies most easily within the power of all of us. Not that words can ever take the place of deeds. Where a deed is required words sound but as a mockery. But there are many, many times when the word is all that is needed to make the difference, between happiness and despair. Most of us are striving for a little appreciation. Most of us will work harder for praise than for money. [Name] MRS.

The following letter was received from Corp. James L. Powell of the 803rd Infantry: Apremont, France, A. E. F. Kansas City Sun: Let me say in behalf of the Red Cross, that it is one of the greatest and most vital parts of the war. Now in the midst of peace as well as in the turmoil of terrific fighting this big, gigantic human worker was always at hand, willing and ready to help those who were unable to help themselves. The Red Cross nurses who were in attendance at the Base Hospital in France, proved to be as dear and near as our own mothers. They were constantly, administering to our wants and possessing such wonderful patience and consoling power. Duty and honor to humanity were never more truly exemplified anywhere than on the battlefields of France. Some of the nurses weer from Missouri. In fact, the times we were hardest pressed the Red Cross was instrumental in seeing that we got food, shelter and clothing, otherwise unobtainable. We are still receiving the same kind treatment and attention on our way home as we experienced going over. May the Red Cross organization and its tremendously good work go on forever... CORP.

Tuesday, April Tickets 2 Theodore Drury, as he appear Theodore Drury, as he appeared in Don Jose, Opera Carmen WHO HE IS. The career of Theodore Drury, who has done such incalculable service and more than any other Colored man toward the musical development of his race in ensemble and operatic music may be said to have begun in 1900 in New York when the whole musical world was astonished at his production of Biget's celebrated opera, "Carmen" by Colored people which was the first time in the history of the race. The "New York Herald" in commenting upon it said that Mr. Drury had overturned tradition as it had always been thought that the Negro could not rise above the banjo and ragtime. Many other papers in Europe and America commented upon this remarkable fact. Mr. Drury also gave a week's performance of opera at the Fourteenth Street theatre in New York Club which was both a financial and artistic success, despite intensely hot weather. Mr. Drury's productions of grand opera in Boston have been "Aida" and "Faust" in Jordan Hall. In the life of oratorios he has given the entitlement to mater" by Rossini under the auspices of the Boston Historical Association. Literary Society, and also another oratorio, "The Hymn of Praise," by Meldelssohn, the most difficult of music works extant with great success, the chorus of 1200 voices singing in the oratorios. The latter sung for the first time in Boston by the Drury Musical Art Club. He also successfully gave another celebrated oratorio, "The Messiah complete—its first rendition complete by Colored people. This was sung by the Drury Musical Art Club of 20 members formed by Mr. Drury. Tickets For Sale at Drug Stores SIXTY DOLLARS BONUS TO SOLDIERS. Washington, D.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. WHITE MEN DOUBLE PRICE OF ADMISSIONS TO THEATRE The law says that the theatres charging five cents to collect one cent war tax, making a total of six cents. On 18th street they used the tax as an excuse to double the price for a five cent show. Will the Negroes stand for it? A representative of this paper visited all of the theatres in this city that admit Negroes and found the theatres on 12th street charging six cents, theatres on 18th street charging 10 cents, theatre on Vine street charging 11 and 17 cents. The productions shown on Vine street are the same productions shown in the finest theatres not only in Kansas City but in America. We found on Vine street that you could see three serials on one night for 11 cents that would cost you 18 to 30 cents at the other picture houses. The pictures shown on 18th street and 12th street are of the same type as before they changed the prices. Ask yourself which is the fairer proposition. If a picture house doubles the price exclusive of the war tax, ought not the picture be worth double the money? If not, then you are not getting your money's worth. THE HOMESTEADER In the coming of the Homesteader to Love's Theatre beginning Sunday afternoon, there comes a play which represents upon the screen the highest achievement of the Negro in the dramatic field until the present time, Thousands of Negroes remember the keen disappointment they experienced when this play opened at the New Center Theatre and was preemptily stopped after its first day's run on account of racial prejudice. Those thousands can now take advantage of the opportunity to see this play under their own "vine and fig tree" in the most beautiful and luxurious theatre owned, managed and controlled by Negroes in the entire West and doubtless Love's theatre at 24th and Vine Streets were this mammoth production requiring 2 hours and 15 minutes to play is to be shown, will be taxed to its capacity from its opening Sunday afternoon to its close Wednesday night. Readers of Harold Bell Wright's greatest novel, "The Eyes of the World," will be interested in the fact that it has been translated into a magnificent motion picture by The Clune Film Producing Company, makers of the great film spectacle, "Ramona." The great production is to be shown at Love's theater on Thursday and Friday, April 17-18. Few stories of the times offer greater scope for such a work. In the matter of scenic beauty, the San Bernardino mountains, the ocale of so much of the romance, could not but inspire the producers. As for characterization the actors have wonderful opportunities in the portrayal of the widely dissimilar characters who figure in "The Eyes of the World." There is the burned-out, bestialized roue, Mr. Twain, wrecked by his own excesses, a pitable apology for manhood, still eager to maintain "the pace that kills," but physically unable to do so. There is the young and voluptuous wife of Taine, a siren as polished in manner as sinister in purpose, who intrigues to entrap the young artist in her meshes. There is Conrad Lagrange, the cynical story-writer, who confesses that he "haunts the intellectual slaughter pens" for material for his "successful" stories, but in whose heart still burns many of the kindly sentiments of his earlier days. There is the young artist, Aaron King, ambitious for fame, who is on the point of debasing his talents for an easy way to success and becomes the shining mark for a designing woman. James Rutlidge, the bull-necked art critic, "born, bred and reared in an atmosphere that does not tolerate purity of thought," who covets the virgin charm of a sweet young girl of the mountains, who typifies their beauty, purity and strength. This girl, Sybil Andres, unconscious of the baser things that go with social "culture," whose innocence threatens to make her easy prey for the libertine until a menacing crisis and her dormant protective instinct arouse her to a strength unknown to herself. John Willard, the convict, first a boy in the flush and impulse of the young human animal, later the hunted criminal who, for a rash deed committed in behalf of a distressed sister, is sent to prison, escapes and wanders through the mountain growths. Myra Willard, a pitiful bit of flot-sam on the sea of humanity, disfigured for life by the act of a jealous wife, and carrying her scars through a tangled web of strange events. Brian Oakley, the forest ranger, a hardy, rugged and fearless specimen of manhood in its pristine freedom from the enervating effects of modern social life. Yee Kee, the Chinese man-servant, keen, devoted, merry, contributes much to the gaiety of the story—an element all too rare in photoplays. Many of the minor characters of "The Eyes of the World" help to round out a most remarkable picture of contemporary life and is certainly worth while seeing.

We are very benevolent in rectity- ing error and improving popular judg- ment. Benevolence is the distinguish. ing characteristic of men. As embod. ied in man’s conduct, it is called the path of duty. And if criticism is not construction but benevolent observa- tion we confess that we observed in the Kansas City Post that Dr. P. P. Claxton, commissioner of education, has started a far-reaching crusade among the boys’ clubs and associa- tions of Philadelphia, Pa., to discour- age the use of nicknames us applied to the product of the American melt- ing pot. Among the tabooed_nick- names upon the list are: “Dago,” “Dutehy,” “Paddy,” “Helny,” “Shee. ney,” "Mick," “Hunky,” “Ginny” and “Greaser.” It you were to define the word nickname, what would be your defini tion? Suppose you reply, “It is a name used in sport, contempt or fa- millarity.” This is the definition the dictionaries naturally seek to give. First of all, we want to know why “Coon,” “Nigger” and “Darkey" are not banned, But we are not sur- prised, From the day the first Negro mastered his A B C’s the white man has Jeft him out of everything worth while. To include him in the cru. sade against nicknames would in crease nelghborliness and deepen friendship. We do not like giving advice, because it is an unnecessary responsibility to any circumstances, But one thing for us to do is to work good humoredly for the recognition to come, Again, if we would have the white man ban our nicknames and re- spect us as a race, we must give him to understand that we think well of ourselves and respect our name. Some Negroes are addicted to the free use of the words “Coon,” “Nig ger” and Darkey” In speaking of one another, or of fhemsetves. But nc Negro should feel offended if called “Nigger” when his conduct has in vited insult of the offensive nick name, Some one has said of a cer tain person “What you are speaks so loud I cannot hear what you say.” Again it has been said the “truly for tunate people are not those who suc- ceed in life as those who succeed in living.” And as right living is an art made up of courage, kindness, hard work and true religion—then that ap- plies to the American Negro, “Bravely to do whate'er the time de mands, Whether with ptn or sword, and not to flinch, This is the task that fits heroic hands, So are truth’s boundaries widened, inch. by inch.” JOIN THE KNIGHTS OF TABOR.

Banks of the Three Hundred and Sixty-Fifth Infantry have returned to their homes in Columbia from overseas. Both of these officers belonged to the famous Nine-Second Division. Lieutenant Banks was with a machine gun company. Both officers are Negroes. Both of these men were in active service on the St. Die and Marbache sectors, Argonne offensive and in the attacks directed toward Corney during the early part of November. Lieutenant Strawn brings back many stories of the fighting in France and a large collection of souvenirs of the American, French and German armies. Among those American are a gas mask and helmet, canteen, complete mess kit, field shoes, trench boots and hardack. He has a French helmet, canteen, bugle, offensive grenade, several shells, some books written in French and apair of sabots or wooden shoes, which were worn by a French child.

Lieutenant Strawn was wounded November 9 during a barrage attack. "After the return of a daylight raiding party at Port Surseille one morning," he relates, "the wounded were being deserved to be evacuated to ambulances to the rear. The Germans spotting us laid down a box barrage, and we were obliged to return to our dugouts for shelter. As they had the range, a direct hit tore through the dugout, covering all with debris. SONG KEEPS NEGRO HEART UNEMBITTERED Those who understand the heritage of the Negro for song, who realize his predilection for rhythm and the swaying influence which music has upon him, understand the value of this work. Through hardship and slavery song has borne the Negro, and through prejudice and unhappiness; and it is the people of faith who saw that it would also bring him to the heights "As I, the medical officer, was standing near, taking care of the wounded, a bursting shell caused a concussion of my left ear and eye. Even though wounded soldiers safely to the rear" wounded, we managed to get all of the Lieutenant Strawn has since almost entirely recovered from the effects of the explosion. Dreaded Gas Shells' Whistle "The weird sounds of the different kinds of shells as they passed through the air," he tells, "were all very suggestive of death The most dreaded sound of all was the low whistling of the gas shells" He also told of an American who was shot through the forehead and killed, split open by a German bayonet and a German flag placed in the wound, which atrocity he says, was the worst he ever witnessed Lieutenant Banks tells of having advanced 200 yards through a box barrage of high explosives, creeping and crawling from one shell hole to another until, by careful maneuvering, he managed to reach the front lines where he had been ordered to report by his captain "We advanced to the Bois de Frehart on November 11," said Lieutenant Banks, "and we held the place until the armistice was signed. Other troops had tried to take the wood several times before but each time they were driven away not more than ten minutes after they had taken the position. "The closest I have been to death," he said, "was one day when I stepped out of a building, turned and looked back and saw a shell go ripping through the roof. Almost instantly the structure caved in." Both of these men praise the people who remained at home for their sacrifices in the way of food. They that, with only a few exceptions, there was all the good food on hand that anyone could want. Even in the front line trenches they had steak, hot --- biscuit, coffee and cakes for breakfast under the heaviest of shell fire. After that there were plenty of cigars and cigarettes, they say. Worked Rapidly With Wounded. Several men worked together to bring the wounded off the field. Only a few seconds being required to get a man on a litter and, in not more than five minutes, where the carrying distance was too great, the man had his wounds well dressed and was smoking a cigarette. Lieutenant Strawn is a son of Arthur Strawn of Columbia and a graduate of Howard University, Washington, D. C., and Freedmen's Hospital. Before the war he practiced surgery at St. Joseph. His brother, Alec Strawn, also of Columbia was to have entered an officers' training school when the armistice was signed. His father and another brother were breeding thoroughbred horses for the Government when the war came to a close. Lieutenant Banks is a brother-in-law of Lieutenant Strawn. He is a graduate of Booker Washington Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. He has also been an instructor at Western University, Quindaro, Kas., and for three years he taught in the Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City. THE WORLD'S FINEST WOMEN SONG KEEPS NEGRO HEART UNEMBITTERED Those who understand the heritage of the Negro for song, who realize his predilection for rhythm and the swaying influence which music has upon him, understand the value of this work. Through hardship and slavery song has borne the Negro, and through prejudice and unhappiness; and it is the people of faith who saw that it would also bring him to the heights of ethical understanding. That the work has suggestion for the future in our dealing with the Negro and the solution of what we call the race problem is without contradiction. As Mrs. Burlin says: "Through toll and suffering song has kept the heart of the egro still unembedted; through prejudice and misunderstanding it has upheld him; through the stress and sacrifice of its white man's war it has cheered him on. And those who recognize its power are surely not wrong in feeling that in the inspired music of the black men lie a prophecy of the possibilities of the race and an earnest plea for that democracy at home which cannot eb won by bomb or bullet, but by sympathy and understanding and a realization of the contribution which each race can make to the civilization of the world."—Christian Science.

THE BLACK IS ONLY SKIN DEEP The "black devils" came home week before last and Chicago turned out en masse to welcome them. The "devils" were the city's colored regiment—the Eighth—who saw enough service to lose ninety-five men killed and over four hundred wounded. The "black devils" never qualified. They never took a prisoner. They fought with a rush and when they came back home the downtown streets were lined with hundreds of thousands, white and black, to see them march by. It was a splendid sight. Behind each company surged the mothers, sweethearts, and sisters of that unit. In perfect marching order they swung along, helmeted and wearing every sign of soldiership; and as we watched them we thought: Here is a p eople whose grandparents were slaves, whose parents are to this day deprived of certain blessings of American citizenship, and who themselves had begun to feel the handicap of race. They are returning from Chateau Thierry and Belleau Woods, where they gave themselves in the finest demonstration of American citizenship. They forgive all. They forgot all. They were Americans, and the shout that accompanied their regular tread told that Chicago was proud to own them as fellow Americans. Would that their line of march could have taken them through every city of the country! Would that those sections of the country where the Negro is despised and deprived of the common blessings of citizenship could have been honored (for it would have been an honor) by having this fighting Eighth swing down their streets in military order! And to think that this regiment is but one of scores who fought as true Americans to preserve the liberties which to a no inconsiderable extent had been denied them. Really, there is a glimpse of character just here that has rarely been duplicated in the field of patriotism—An Editorial in the Northwest ern Christian Advocate of March 5 1919.

The only reason for the humiliating race insults which are constantly cropping out in the downtown theaters and business places is that the owners of such places know that the Negroes will stand for such treatment. They have learned that our people may make a semblance of resentment for a while but that they will soon fall into submission and take their humiliation as a matter of fact. And this is the very basic cause of such conditions as are now being grumbled about in one of the "Ten Cent" stores on Main street in which signs have been posted warning colored women not to use the toilet rooms. Of course no restriction could be more inhuman; more insulting, yet the colored women will continue to climb over each other in their scramble for the cheap junk of this establishment, even though they know that the owners class them along with dogs and cattle. It would seem that even the slightest degree of race respect would keep every Negro in Kansas City out of this store forever even at the risk of not being able to buy cheap, useless household junk. And such ought to be the case, not for a few days but so long as the disrespectful attitude of the store managers is kept up. Ministers should urge this from their pupils. Teachers should urge it in their classrooms. No environment justifies a coward or a cringing phoont! Withdraw your patronage from this place and the loss will be felt far more than you may think. Stay out of the place and urge others to do the same and it will not be long before such insults will be withdrawn. The Sun has during the last three years urged the Negro theater patrons to resent the insult of a downtown vaudeville house which provides a special alley entrance for colored people only. Our admonitions have had some effect but there are still large numbers of our folks who may be seen dodging into that alley every night, impervious to the ignominy of their very acts. We do not mind occupying a separate section in a theater, provided the accommodations are equal to those of the whites who pay the same prices. Respectable Negroes care no more to come into contact with the whites than white people care to come into contact with us. The feeling is mutual and our only regret is that so few white people appear to realize this. But when the discriminations take on the form of positive insults it is high time for us to resent such abuses by permanently remaining away from such places of amusement, especially when remaining away will entail no distress to us of any kind. Some time ago we referred to a certain Walnut street music store which refuses to play talking machine and plover piano records for colored patrons, yet Negroes continue to skulk around this place, well knowing that they are not wanted or at least that they are not respected as other customers. Such insults are offered simply because the colored people will take them, because we have not enough race pride to make ourselves felt, and they will continue to be heaped upon us until our people, educated through the schools, newspapers and pulpits, learn to stand together, talk less, and act in a more concerted manner for the good of the whole people. This is our big job under the new "World Democracy," as we see it. Instead of discussing the League of Nations, which makes no difference to us, let us get busy upon the League of Negroes, which means everything to us.

Chicago, April 5.—The Negro voters of Chicago, more than 50,000 in number, have been accalmed by the Democratic leaders as the one contributing factor in the re-election of Mayor William Hale Thompson as Mayor. This fact was also attested this week by all of the daily newspapers, both in their news stories and editorially. Mayor Thompson was elected, according to present figures, by about 18,000 votes, and more than 11,000 vote plurality was given him in the Second Ward, said by The Chicago Tribune to be "the greatest colored ward in the world." To this ward must be added the pluralities in the Third and Fourteenth Wards, where thousands of Negro voters also live, and it is easy to be seen that Mayor Thompson owes his political success to the Negro voters of Chicago. Every daily newspaper in Chicago opposed the Mayor. The last days of the campaign were imbittered by personalities, and many rampant, white partisan opponents of the Mayor publicly denounced his "friendship for the Negro," which the Mayor just as publicly acclaimed everywhere he had an opportunity, because, he declared in a specially prepared statement for The Associated Negro Press, following ES T. WATTS best who won fresh laurels for himself at a Forum last Sunday. the election: "I have given fair representation to the colored people of Chicago because as Republicans they have helped nominate and elect me, and, secondly, as American citizens they are entitled to their quota of representations in governmental affairs. "They contributed their quota to the armed forces of the nation and perry. From the records at hand, it cannot be denied that they discharged their duties of American soldiers with as great a degree of bravery and heroism as any other element in the American armies." "The election proves that the Negro of Chicago will not sell out, and that he believes in standing by his friends," declared Maj. J. R. Jackson, to the Associated Negro Press. "Chicago achievements give heart to the Negroes throughout the nation," he continued, "and we are in a position to accomplish great things if we pull together." Maj. Jackson, with Louis B. Anderson, re-elected, are the aldermen of the Second Ward. Alderman Anderson is one of the Mayor's acknowledged floor leaders, and both men are regarded as being among the foremost men of the Council. The Mayor's re-election assures the retention in office of E. H. Wright and George W. Ellis, Assistant Coporation Counsel; Dr. A. J. Carey, who is prominently mentioned for Bishop in the A. M. E. church, and others. Don't forget Peace Congress at Alen Chapel, May 7—May 11. We beg to announce that the Cosmopolitan Club will give its Spring Party at Lyric Hall, April 29th.
