Seventeen hundred patrons were in attendance, many were turned away, and compliment after compliment has been ringing throughout the city from those who attended this affair. It seemed almost miraculous that the director, Mrs. W. T. Osborne, had taken raw material and converted them into high class dramatic artists. The entire cast had dignity and grace, perfect stage action, clear enunciation and the costumes were indeed elaborate. They so forcefully and earnestly portrayed their parts until every person present felt that he was viewing a scene from life and the audience was almost frantic in their demonstrations when thrilling climaxes were scored. C. H. Allen, who played the role of villian was a scream, portraying his part so real that he brought hisses and threatening assertions from the audience. Addison Gilliam, the clerk and friend of Robert Belknap was a star. In every act he scored and was a great favorite of the audience. Before the last act Mrs. Osborne Kansas City's impressario and most successful director came before the curtain to thank the audience for their royal support and she was given an ovation and presented a beautiful basket of flowers by the member of Ebenezer Church. Mrs. Osborne indeed a wonderful and valuable woman. Prof. J. R. E.

Oliver his accomplice brought down the house in many scenes. They certainly hold up the comedy strain of the play. Mable Grant as Betty and the soloist of the evening captivated the audience. She was remarkably clever and a match at every turn for the villian. She received much applause. Ethel Shores the rich Colonel's daughter was very good. Her independent stage manner, her rich clear voice, her pleasing and sarcastic expressions and her elaborate gowns compared favorably with traveling artists.

Dallas, Texas, Feb. 19, 1920. When interviewed at the city jail Thursday morning by a Dallas Exp ress reporter, relative to the shoot- ing of Dr. I. M. Horton, prominent eye specialist of this city and his wife about midnight Wednesday, Prof. J. W. Ray declined to make a statement other than saying that he desired as little publicity of the affair as possible. Dr. Horton is lying at Parkland Hospital, where he was removed for treatment dangerously wounded from a gun shot wound in his left side, while the injuries of Mrs. Ray are not fatal, she having received a flesh wound in the right leg. The cause that led up to the near tragedy has not yet been ascertained. Dr. Horton is formerly of Kansas City and has practiced his profession in Dallas some six or eight months. Since coming here, he has boarded at the Ray home at 3500 Roseland avenue. He has made a host of friends here and was seemingly, enjoying a lucrative practice. The Rays are among Dallas' oldest and most highly respected citizens J. W. Ray, himself having taught in the public schools of Dallas about thirty years. For the past two years he has been employed by the firm of Titche-Goettinger Co.—Dallas Express. Among the Colored men who have left the beaten path and won success along new lines, is Mr. Herbert Johnson, one of our own home boys who among the florists of this city has taken high rank. Johnson served his country overseas, saved his money and upon his return opened a small but up-to-date floral establishment which has grown by deaps and bounds until he and his assistants are kept constantly busy. His success is due to strict attention to business and to detail and designs of his creation can be seen at all funerals, parties, receptions and entertainments where decorations are used. He is located at 1800 East 138th street and has Bell phone Clifton 2043 and he can always spare time to meet his friends and make acquaintances. He is a member of many organizations and knows the true worth of the meaning of flowers. The social given by the Beau Brummels on Thursday evening, February 19, was a complete success. One hundred and twenty-six persons were present. A splendid program was rendered and refreshments served. The Corn-Willie Banquet and get together of the Wayne Miner Post No. 149 American met with great success, especially when the feast was announced by the familiar sound of an old army trumpet tooting the "Mess Call." Every one was well pleased when the games and music was interrupted by the appearance of the Mess Sergenat bringing forth his delicacies—doughnuts, corn-willie and black Java. Under the auspices of the Wayne Miner Post of the American Legion Memorial services were held for the purpose of delivering to relatives of those lost in service, the French War Diploma Sunday evening, February 22.

LESSONS CONVEYED BY POEM "EVANGELINE" Prof. Noah Porter, the eminent historian, paid a remarkable tribute to "Evangeline," Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's vitally dramatic poem, which William Fox will present in elaborate motion picture form at Love's Theatre on February 29-March 1-2. This tribute, which appears in Dr. Porter's book, "Evangeline, the Place, the Story and the Poem," follows: "The poem is not merely a pathetic recital which moves our tenderest sympathy and inculcates the noblest lessons of duty and faith; it also reproduces with vivid intensity a tragic picture of our national history and, as such, it is fitted to instruct us, if we interpret it aight, respecting the bitter and costly experiences out of which our present political and civic blessings have been secured; while it also inculcates the most salutary lessons in respect to the harsh judgments which we are often too ready to pronounce upon those whose nationality or whose faith may differ from our own."

Boston, Mass., Feb. 24.—It would take volumes to relate all that the Catholic Church is doing for the Negroes in this country. The work of the Church radiates through many a varied channel to minister to the welfare of the Colored people. The whole number of Negro Catholics at the present time is estimated at about 100,000. According to recent figures some 187 priests are engaged in work among them in various parts of the United States. St. Joseph's Society, whose work in the Colored missions of the South is so well known, has seven priests at work in the South, while the Fathers of the Divine Word, the Holy Ghost Fathers, the Society for African Missions and the Vincentian Fathers also have a number of priests engaged in work in this field. In addition to members of religious orders, a number of secular priests have undertaken work in exclusively Negro parishes, while some religious orders other than those enumerated have contributed their share to the work. There are 66 parishes for Colored people in the South, with 35 missions attached to them. The number of Negroes per parish ranges from a few dozen to several thousand. The largest parishes are located in Baltimore and New Orleans. Every Negro parish has its school, some of them having more than one such institution. Some white parishes also conduct schools for Negroes. About a dozen sisterhoods are represented in the teaching staffs, while lay teachers are employed where sisters cannot be obtained. Industrial opportunities for the Negroes are taken care of by two large industrial schools, while there are a number of others on a smaller scale. Instruction in domestic economy and in some crafts is given in many of the parish schools, while Colored Sister conduct several academies for girls. A leading institution in the field is St. Joseph's College in Montgomery, Ala., which is in charge of St. Joseph's Society. It is intended to prepare Colored youths for efficient service, especially in the missionary and educational fields, and to fit them for leadership among their own people. A number of pastors of Negro churches have high schools for their youths. Orphans among the Negroes are cared for in about a dozen orphan asylums. The Sisters of the Good Shepherd conduct a few institutions for Colored girls, and there is one Home for Old People. In time, a native clergy is inevitable, for the Negro people. Probably the most promising society for Colored Catholic men, which is calculated to fill a distinct need in this direction is the Knights of Peter Claver. It is intended to be for the Negroes what the Knights of Columbus for their white brothers. THE PORO CLUB The Poro Club was glad to have Mrs. Alphin with them on their last literary day. She told the agents what good work they could do, as they were in a position to beautify the lives and souls, as well as the hair and many timely thoughts were brought out. They were also favored with a musical selection by Mrs. Duncan. Mrs. Octava Johnson was presented her diploma. Our next meeting will be Monday, March 1, with Mrs. Hattie Washington, 940 Washington boulevard, Kansas City, Kas. That veteran, matchless political leader and organizer, Mr. I. H. Bradbury, of St. Louis, is doing wonderful work for his party and his Race in that city at this time. He was given an ovation at the close of the splendid speech he delivered at the Washington-Lincoln celebration the other night. ATTENTION!

Our Growing Sweet Tooth Public Paying Highest Price for Suyat Sines Days Following Civil War The public ts paying the highest price asked in this country for sugar since the days following the Civil war. There are reports from that time of sugar selling as high as 50 cents a pound, and that, of course, for an ar- tiele much inferior in grade to what Fome persons have been paying 24 cents a pound for within recent weeks, But there is this notable difference: In Civil war times the high price of sugar caused a noticeable diminution Ja Its use; now, with the price four- fold what most persons consider to be normal, we are using five times as much sugar for each person as we were In the year after the Civil war. That year, the per capita use of sugar was 18 pounds, In the decade from 1866 to 1875 the price material- ly improved, and In response the use of sugar doubled to 35 pounds & per- son, From 1876 to 1885 it had in- creased to 42 pounds. In the decade from 1886 to 1895 the price of sugar went as low, probably, as at any time in our history, and for the excellently refined article. Then we were using it at the rate of 57 pounds a person eaco year. Steadily the use of it In- creased in the following decade, de- sp.te a somewhat rising price, to 67 pounds, Seaweeds of Millions of Years Ago Resemble Algae Now Growing in the Sea. ‘That many of the algae or geaweeds ot the Middle Cambrian epoch of geo logic time, some 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 years ago, closely resemble the algae growing in the sea at the present time, is a statement made by Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in describing <ossil re mains of these ancient sea plants dis covered by him in the Middle Cam- brian rocks of the Canadian Rocky mountains, In the remote time when these plants were deposited on the muddy sea bottom the rock formations that are now thousands of feet above sen level, formed the shore line of « Mid- dle Cambrian sea, ‘The fossil remains from which these primitive plants were Identified oc- cur as shiny black films on the surface of the hard, dark siliceous shale.

We Can if We Want to, and ; Can Do More if We Have To Many people think that life is hard. ‘They don't feel like working, What we need is to wake up—to work and to be useful, Every depression is wrong, the more we feel the necessity to work, the more we will be uble to ere- ate.

He places the age of the earth arbitrarily at 72,000,000. sears, represented by a clock dial of 24 hours 8,000,000 years to each hour. On the above basis the first six hours of the clock represents Azoic time, the earliest conjectural period of | the earth's formation — 18,000,000. years; the next six hours Eozoic and the next eight Palezote time—18,000,000 and 24,- (000,000 years, respectively—periods of mnineral and vegetable formations, In the next three hours animal lfe de- veloped—Mesozole thie, 9,000,000 years —that Is, from the twentieth to the twenty-third hour. ‘Thus the last hour of the 248,000,000 sears of geolosic time—represents Neozole time, which includes the appearance of human life In the Quaternary period, ‘This last division of the 24 hours, the Quaternary period, ts shown as only 10 minutes—in other words, 500 000 years. ‘The existence of human life ‘on the earth, therefore, bears the sate ‘relation to the age of the enrth as 10 minutes does to 24 hours, But since the period of written history ts estt- mated roughly at only 6,000 years, this last division is not shown on the chart, since it would only be 12 seconds in duration, sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of soda, one and one-fourth cupfuls of flour.

TALES FROM BIG CITIES BANGOR, ME.—To save his wife from a pauper's grave and get food and medicine for his six children, Herbert Sherwood, postmaster of the little village of Bancroft, far up in the northern Maine wilderness, took money from the government funds, then confessed his fault to a post office inspector, was arrested and brought to Bangor, and in default of $1,000 bait was sent to jail to await trial in the United States district court. Bancroft's post office used to pay $11 a month. Since last spring it has paid $13 a month. This, with what little the postmaster could coax from the grudging soil, constituted the income of the family. Yet the Sherwoods were happy in their little home until the influenza epidemic swept Maine last year he fell ill. Then one by one, four of the six children. The wife and mother died.

According to the map, the Red river ought to separate Texas from Oklahoma. But according to the oil men, it doesn't.

THE LANGUAGE OF HEAVEN GILBERT "Heaven" your native language? "The language of heaven." THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 1920 CONSIDER THE ALL-DAY DRESS M © Western Newspaper Union THESE "all-day" dresses have given us something that is new and increasingly interesting to think about. Just how close a second they will finally run to the suit and to the tailored skirt and separate skirt, is something not to be foretold, especially since the new models show that manufacturers are taking advantage of the liking for smocks in designing them. To the women who spend most of their time in tailor-made clothes they offer the spice of variety—a change from blouse and skirt or tailored coat and skirt. Besides, more of them offer possibilities in remodeling suits that the thrifty are not going to overlook. Two very fine models in all-day dresses will not have to ask twice for the attention of alert women. They are pictured here and hardly need description. In both of them the skirt and smock idea is carried out. It has been managed with wonderful cleverness in the dress of dark blue serge with a girdle of jet links and rings SPEAKING IT USED to be predicted that the entrance of women into business and into all sports along with men, would wean them away from the pretty, enticing trifles in apparel that they have always loved. No prediction ever proved more entirely false. The eternal feminine, with wits sharpened by experience in the wider world, has not discarded any of her privilges in dress, but has used a cultivated and discriminating sense of fitness to provide herself with an undreamed of diversity in her clothes. There is not much chance for custom to stale her infinite variety in these days. Given a chance she runs the whole scale—negligeees, morning frocks, tailored things, sports clothes, afternoon gowns, evening dress, varied with special costumes for special pursuits. So far from overlooking lovely accessories of dress that have no excuse for being at all, except that they are beautiful, women supply themselves more bountefy than ever with these. They are trifles that are not at all trifling, and include the strands of beads, ornamental combs, earrings, and other jewelry, vanity cases, bags (including beaded ones), fans, slippers, girdles and a revival of lace stockings, mits and tulle scarfs. Not to speak of Boleros Will Be Worn. The chief features in street dresses are the low waist, Baikan blouse effects and boleros. Manufacturers, dressmakers and retailers do not look with favor on the bolero. Due to the strength of the Baikan influence, however, expressed in the wide-draped girdle, the skirt in Turkish style and the bloused effects, the bolero seems to have a better chance than usual. Bolero effects achieved by the use of a plain, flat yoke extending to below the shoulders with a plaited section THE UNION Cuss Words That Won Quarters for Railroad Men SOMETHING more than ten years ago Tom Harrison, railroad engineer, leaned far out of the window of his engine cab one day and shot a steady stream of profanity at Harry Robertson, the conductor of his train.

Anyway, here's part of what he has to say in print about the ladies: "There never has been a woman critic. No woman has brought out a system of harmony. No woman has written a leading textbook on any branch of music. No woman has made a name as a teacher of composition or even of piano or fiddle playing.

MANY interesting things are said about "white coal" in the debates over the water-power bills. The development of water power seems to be a subject attracting attention the world over. Here are some of the things said by Senator Chamberlain of Oregon: Less than 3 per cent of the coal of the United States is contained in the Pacific states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and California, and yet while these eight states contain 44,000,000 horse power, or 70 per cent of the total water-power resources of the nation, but 2.8 per cent has been developed. And this, while enormous quantities of coal are being shipped in from other far-distant states, and being imported every day in train and shiploads from Canada. in from other far-distant states, and being import shiploads from Canada.

Other changes include fire and searchlight controls, details of which were withheld for military reasons. The United States must have a navy equal to that of any other power and it may cost $1,000,000,000 a year to maintain it, said Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, at a meeting of the Brooklyn chamber of commerce. "To maintain the navy," he said, "now requires from $500,000,000 to $600,000,000 a year, but to maintain our protection we will have to spend $1,000,000,000 a year. The League of Nations will try to limit the size of navies and, therefore, large sums will be saved." Land, there about it. In this model a plain skirt is set onto an underbodice that carries the sleeves. A light silk serves for this with underarm pieces and sleeves of the cloth. Two straight pieces of cloth having inverted plaits down the center are fastened to the underbody at the waistline, with snap fasteners. Below the waistline they hang free, revealing, he skirt at the sides. Squares of embroidery at the front of smock and skirt exactly suit the tailored dress for which they make a handsome finish. If one has in mind remodeling an old dress or making a skirt do double duty she cannot do better than to carry out a scheme like that shown in the second dress. This is a short smock, banded with satin ribbon like the skirt in color and ornamented with satin-covered buttons and an all-over braided pattern. Henna-colored jersey cloth with dark-blue braid and braid is a fine combination for the smock to be worn over a plain blue cloth skirt. lace and ribbon boudreau caps and other exquisite things that come to light within the home, is to leave out many lovely injuries. But since everything cannot be described, a few accessories for formal dress are selected and pictured here. For the young woman who can carry them off the Spanish comb and long ear rings have a charm that is potent. Of course a fan belongs to this coquettish company, and it may be of wonderful feathers, or of fine lace or satin sparkling with spangles. Sticks of mother of pearl or of tortoise are not among the things that have "come back" because they have never been away. But in the picture are old-time lace mits with a flavor of two generations ago, when they were worn by fine and gentle ladies. Little vanity boxes are more modern; a gold and enameled one and a pair of cutsteel buckles show themselves in company with the lace mits of yesterday, all belonging in the bright assemblage of today's luxuries. Julia Bottomly from that point to the waist are among the most promising interpretations of the style. Linen Kept White With Bluin Newly embroidered linen may be kept in their original whiteness until needed for use, by dipping them in very blue water after washing. When dry, they should be folded without ironing, and put away. When the time comes to use them, they must be washed again, and will come out as freshly white as when first made. WASHINGTON SIDE LIGHTS had just returned from a saloon. While in the saloon they had quarreled and come to blows. For a time Robertson cursed back. Then, looking quietly up at his adversary, he said: "Harrison, where do you think you'd go if you was to die right now?" "Why, to hell," Harrison snarled. "And where'd ye think you'd go?" "Well, I don't want to go to hell," said Robertson. "Neither do I," said Harrison, and into the cab—they were still half full of the proposition.

The replies were summarized in a report prepared by George L. Wood, superintendent of the division of rural mails, read to the senate post office committee by James I. Blaklee, fourth assistant postmaster general. The views of the 40,000 or more farmers were obtained by the broadcasting of 200,000 copies of a questionnaire throughout the agricultural states asking for suggestions whereby the post office department might aid in cutting down the cost of living.

Teacher of English in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) LESSON FOR FEBBUARY 29 FETER WRITES ABOUT CHRISTIAN LIVING. LESSON TEXT-1 Peter 2:1-15, 11-15. GOLDEN TEXT—that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, eat, drink, and be silent. PRIMARY TOPIC -Doing as Jesus did JUNIOR TOPIC -How to Treat Those Who Wronged THE HOLIDATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -The Nobility of Patience YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Ideals for Christian Living. The purpose of Peter was to establish all who were passing through suffering and testing. See for example 1:7, 3:14, 4:12, 5:10-12. 1. Christian Growth (vv. 1-5). The Christian obtains his life through the new birth, and the agent of its accomplishment is the Word of God (1:23). The same vitalizing and energizing power which makes the believer a child of God is essential to growth and development. In order to have spiritual growth there must be both renunciation and appropriation. 1. Renunciation (v. 1). Certain things injurious to spiritual life must be put away (1) malice—all wickedness, that is, the will to do injury to others without cause; (2) guile—deceit of all kinds; (3) hypocrisies—feigning to be what one is not—assuming a false appearance; (4) envies—hatred of others because they possess excellencies which we do not; (5) evil speaking—all kind of slanderous speaking against others. 2. Appropriation (vv. 2, 3). (1) Spiritual food must be taken (v. 2), the principle of the new life was conveyed through the Word (1:23), and the Word is the means by which that life is to be strengthened and developed. Just as a new born babe loves milk, so men who are born again love the Bible. (2) Spiritual food must be assimilated (v. 3). The Word of God must be received and assimilated by meditation. 3. The grand objective (vv. 4, 5). It is coming to Christ—to grow up and become a part of the glorious church, the spiritual house, which is designed to show forth the glory of God. 11. Seemly Behavior of Christians (vv. 11-25). 1. As pilgrims and sojourners (vv. 11, 12). Christians are merely sojourners on the earth; they are journeying through it on their way to the eternal home in the heavens. Our heavenly citizenship (Phil. 3:20) should constrain us to (1) abstain from fleshy lusts (v. 11). The term "lusts" includes the entire army of unclean forces springing from our carnal natures; they are enumerated in Galatians 5:19-21. These war against the soul. (2) Behavior honest before the heathen (v. 12). Christians should so live that it will be impossible for the world to speak against them as evil-doers. 2. As citizens (vv. 13-17). While the Christian's true citizenship is in heaven, he has a responsibility as a citizen on the earth. A Christian man recognizes the necessity of social order, and will not only graciously submit to the authority of rulers regardless of the form of government, but will faithfully perform his obligations as a citizen. This he will not do through cringing fear, but as the Lord's free man. By this free submission as a servant of God he puts to silence the ignorance of foolish men (vv. 15, 16). (1) Honor all men (v. 17). He will see in every man the image of God and therefore give honor to him. (2) Love the brotherhood (v. 17). The Christian has a peculiar love for those who are of the same household. (3) Fear God (v. 17). (4) Honor the king (v. 17). This has peculiar significance, for in all probability the wicked Nero was the king then reigning. 3. As servants (vv. 18-25). While doubtless slaves were meant here, the principle applies to all who have relation to employers. The Christian will be in subjection to his master. He will not only do this when his employer is gentle and reasonable, but even when it means wrongful suffering. It means not only submission, but loyalty. It is the duty of a Christian to consider and further the interests of his employer. Many times to do so means hardship and suffering. The grand example of suffering wrongfully is Jesus Christ. While his suffering is an example to us, it was much more, because he suffered in order to break forever the power of sin so as to do away forever with oppression. Language All Can Speak "Kindness—a language which the dumb can speak, and the deaf can understand," said the sage Bovee in "Summaries of Thought." And how many of the future dangers and difficulties would vanish away if there would only come into the hearts of every one of our earnest and sincere desire for our neighbor's good that would help us to appreciate and understand him and unite earnestly with him in the great task of building up the world in peace and goodness! Goodwill to men, that steady, wholesome, clear-sighted attitude of the soul, is a grace that every one of us should sedulously cultivate. Exercise Self-Sacrifice The highest service is the heart's devotion. What we do for others is little in comparison with what we are for them. Gifts of service, unless they are the generous and spontaneous offerings of love, leave the heart of the recipient cold. Self-sacrifice is one of those virtues we should exercise with a certain amount of restraint, not for getting that it sometimes needs a greater generosity to accept than to give.

It is written without fear of favor. It is an analysis predicated largely on information voluntarily conveyed by Colored men from the Northern States who attended, and approved by many strong, unselfish men from the Southern States. In one of the announcements of the proposed meeting, it was said it was to be a "new deal." The public propaganda containing this reference may and may not have been written by the President, Roscoe C. Simmons. It was a "new deal," but from the same deck, and it was, also, a "raw deal" given Colored men in States where Colored votes are cast and counted. While the comment I may make may prick the epidermis of not a few, and may please ONLY a few, yet even the "strong arm brigade" will recognize in it some truth. The Lincoln League as now controlled, directed and manipulated is an organization in which the Colored men in the North are about as useless a figure as would be the figure of Joseph in a picture of the Madonna and child. There was no place to put him. Joseph was not necessary to the picture, since he was not the father of the infant Christ, though the husband of Mary. Roscoe C. Simmons, as president, was advertised to deliver his annual address, and the natural inference was that an "annual" election would also be held, but it was prudently found expedient, by the manipulators to announce the annual election will be held in June presumably about the time the Republican National Convention convenes. Such a procedure might best suit the designs of such as could personally be benefited by continuing, during the pre-convention weeks, of a stalking horse as president. Roscoe Simmons' annual address was a continuous speech that began with the convening of the meeting at 10:20 o'clock Wednesday morning February 11 and continued, with but slight interruptions, until the meeting adjourned, about 12:00 p.m. Thursday February 12. His address was a continuous vaudelle stunt. When he introduced Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee, Governor Lowden of Illinois and other white men, he employed his customary mimery, his grimaces, shimmy-swing of the body, etc., which "mean nothing" to elicit laughter from the gallery in a meeting where seriousness ought to have been of the 100 per cent variety. Even Governor Lowden when he arose to speak, after Simmons' amusing preface to his introduction, remarked that he knew the audience would A CLEAR SKIN Eczema, Itch, Tetter, Ringworm, Aone, Pimples, Blotches, Disfiguring Eruptions etc., absolutely and quickly banished.

Whereupon a prominent Illinois whispered to me "Can you beat it. A White man would rather hear foolishness from a Colored man than seriousness." At an informal gathering of Colored men from Northern states a gathering that was merely accidental, rather than design, a protest was expressed against the thrusting by a few men in the League hailing from the South of Simmons forward to be taken seriously as the race's National leader. Without referring directly or indirectly to Simmons it was the consensus of opinion, among those Colored men from Northern States, that the North will never stand for a leader who at any time may have been expelled or suspended from a fraternal order for good and sufficient reasons; of a man who does not contribute to the support of his wife and child, if he has or has had one; of a man who has been guilty of leaving unpaid hotel bills; whether in this country or some foreign country; of a man who has many unliquidated loans secured from trusting friends; of a man who relieves his loneliness with dalliance. Simmons is using the League to further his own selfish ends. He secured place on Chairman Hays' advisory committee on the assumption that he represented the League; that the League represented all the Colored people, north as well as south, and that he, being the League's president it followed as a natural sequence that he was the leader of the race. There were a multiplicity of Conferences, star chamber sessions of the manipulators of the league, it is stated but in those Conferences Colored men representing Northern States were conspicuous by their absence and their absence was due to the fact that they had not been invited. The League accomplished nothing; unless it was to further the selfish ambitions of Roscoe Simmons, an assumed leader who will be discredited by Colored men in the North, and not a few in the South, for they will never subscribe to the leadership of any fakir whether he hales from the North or South. Colored newspaper Editors in states where the Colored men vote and have their votes counted were drawn to the meeting more out of the desire to learn if their skepticism as to the real function of the league was well founded or erroneous, but not a few learned that their skepticism was, at least not wholly erroneous. President Simmons repeatedly affirmed that "all" delegates present had paid their own expenses to the League meeting. There were many who DID pay their own expenses to the League meeting—many even from the South, for they came to the meeting unmindful that it was a "close corporation." But there were some, doubtless whose expenses had been contributed to, and it will require an affidavit from President Simmons to establish an alibi that his expenses were not contributed to, taking his course in 1908, when he supported the late Senator Foraker and in 1916 when he supported Senator Dupont, as a criterion to go by.

This is not an indictment of all Colored men from the South who attended the meeting. There were many pure in heart like Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, Wm. McDonald of Texas, J C. Napier of Tennessee and others whose names might be cited who came to the meeting under the supposition it would be an assembling of whole hearted men—men without a suspicion there were any selfish designs on the part of the President or any others to use the race as a pawn to secure from white leaders, selfish, personal benefits. Such men were like "the real" characters in "The Miracle Man" who knew nothing of the designs of the faker to commercialize prayer and divine healing of the lame, halt and blind. Many of these expressed a disapproval, to me, of pushing to the front, through paid publicity, or backing by a "close corporation" of a man of Simmons' type as a leader. Chairman Hays of the Republican National Committee and the various presidential aspirants might as well understand it now as later that the Colored men in the voting states stand for a higher type of a man. With Roscoe Simmons as the vaudevillian entertainer the Harry Lauder at the feast, the meeting was purely a "comedy of errors." If those in the inner circles, those who are bent on pushing Simmons on the race as a supposed National leader want mere facts, all they have to do is to indicate it by forcing the hands of the Colored men in the North, for they can give facts and figures they have the "days and dates." Colored men in Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and West Virginia will accept the challenge. I have no personal difference with Mr. Simmons, never did have. I am only referring to him now as a public man and as an impossible race leader. IMPERIAL POTENTATE COMING. Mr. Caesar R. B.

The Alpha Art Club met at the palatial residence of Mrs. H. G. Dwigins. The meeting was opened as is the custom with Mrs. Rossetta White, presiding. The quotations were from Dunbar. There were several visitors present among whom was Mrs. Cook of Kansas City, Mo., who addressed the ladies on "The World's Wide Movement." The Walnut Boulevard Baptist church is being fitted with beautiful art glass windows in the auditorium this week. We must say that they are the most beautiful works of art that we have ever seen. This church when completed will be one of the most beautiful churches in the city. The construction of the church is a marvel. We say "Go ahead Bro, John you know something." The Chairman of the Executive committee stasted Sunday that every phase of life would be represented in the Forum this year; that our fight is not only for logic, economic competition, but literary acumen and it would be a fight to a finish. The Forum is using the arts of refinement and culture and being schooled along these lines. No conversing is allowed during the rendition of the program and every one remains seated until the benediction is given, asts but not least, be punctual. Ie Stempleman, a white grocer on Third street has been threatened by some person or persons unknown with death unless he pays over a certain sum of money in 90 days. The letter reads "that if he is able to build flats for Niggers, he could pay the sum asked." He failed to come across with the money and was awakened by some one shooting through his house at an early hour the other morning. We are sure that it is not the work of the colored residents, because we do not get our money that way. KING SOLOMON BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. W. L. Clay, Pastor.

BELL PHONE, MAIN 3859. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1920 St. Louis, Mo.—That the disorganized condition of the railroads would move big factories, especially of automobiles, to Middle West cities, was a thought left by Edward E. Jordan, president of the Jordan Motor Car Company of Cleveland, Ohio, with an audience of about 500 automobile men visiting the automobile and motor truck shows in St. Louis, in an address at a luncheon given by the St. Louis Automobile Manufacturers' and Dealers' Association in the big second-floor banquet hall at the Planters Hotel. "To restore the railroads to normal conditions will require about five years in time and billions of dollars in money," Jordan said. "Meanwhile manufacturers must get their product to market, which, especially in the automobile business, is largest and richest in the Middle West territory. If the factories are moved to the Middle West the manufacturer will be more independent of the railroads." Jordan mentioned St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis and Des Moines as the places that would profit by these conditions. He directed attention to the great plant now being erected in St. Louis by the General Motors Corporation, as evidence of the tendency of factories toward the center of the United States. Paris, Mo.—The real estate and personal property of Monroe county, as shown by lists turned in by Assessor John T. Glissock, makes a total of $10,367,380, on which taxes will be collected this year. This total is a decrease of $2,084,760 from the amount on which taxes were collected in 1919. The State Board of Equalization having made a 20 per cent increase last year bringing the taxable wealth of the county to the unprecedented figure of $12,452,140. Jefferson City, Mo.—The supreme court, by a vote of 4 to 3, held that the United Railways Company must pay $33,373 of judgments rendered against the St. Louis Transit Company for personal injuries which accrued during the operation of cars by the transit company under a lease from the United Railways Company. The judgment was rendered in favor of James B. Johnson, who had bought out the original plaintiffs. Gardner to Study Case. Excelsior Springs, Mo.—As soon as Governor Gardner returns to Jefferson City he will take up consideration of the many imperfections in the state primary election law as pointed out by a committee of the St. Louis Bar Association and seconded in an inter view by Glendy B. Arnold, chairman of the St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners. This was the gist of a statement made by the governor upon his arrival here. Restaurant Reduces Prices. Kansas City, Mo.—Among restaurant customers, it is still a topic of discussion—a reduction in prices by a restaurant here. When the card announcing the reduced prices was posted, it is said several diners nearly swooned. Five cents was shaved from the price of toast and coffee, bacon and eggs, ham and eggs, a "stack" and other articles of food. Pays $33,000 to State. Jefferson City, Mo.—The state treasury received a chec. from the estate of Louis Cella, a former race track man of St. Louis, for $33,635.90, this being the full amount claimed by the state under the inheritance tax law. The amount claimed by the state from the property of Mrs. Cella, who died within a few days of the death of her husband, has not yet been adjusted. Jefferson City, Mo.-Chief Justice R. F.

We only know she went away And never said good-bye. But in our hearts we mourn the loss Of one we loved so well. Oh! we'll meet again Where paring is no more. In the graveyard softly sleeping, Where the flowers gently wave, Lies the one we love so dearly In her lonely, silent grave. Oh, why did she go away And leave us' all alone? Memory is the only thing That death can't call its own. Sadly missed by Mr. James Webb, husband. Mrs. Zella Gardner, daughter. Mrs. Ida Brown, Mrs. Mary Evans, Mrs. Minnie Bryant, sisters. Mr. William Tucker, brother. IN MEMORIAM. In sad and loving memory of my dear mother, Lucinda Nunely, who passed away one year ago today, February 28, 1919. There are griefs that cannot comfort, And wounds that cannot be healed; There are sorrows so deep in the human heart That cannot be half revealed.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. EDITORIALS Who can name the twenty-five best Negro authors and their masterpieces? Rev. S. Douglass McDuffie is giving the Devil a hard tussle in Norfolk, Va., among the Colored while Billy Sunday is knocking him out of the white people. Dr. McDuffie had a parade of more than 600 Christian soldiers and in the business section of the City they sang "Where will We Be When the Last Trumpet Counds" and hundreds of whites as well as Colored people removed their hats. Five agencies make up for the weak of woe of man, the home, the workshop, the church, the school and the state. The others were originally in the home. No one of these has usurped the functions of the home as much as the school. Is not the school which was originally the training place of the child for the home, church and state in danger of disintegrating the home since it is beginning to furnish the food, the entertainment and partially the raiment of the child? Last Sunday witnessed the 1888 Anniversary of the birth of the greatest Virginian of them all who signed his name Geo. Washington. He could have just as easily founded a Monarchy but he preferred a Republic, where an opportunity could be afforded for working out the destiny of the threegreat branches of the human family on the same arena—the Negro, Turanlam and the Caucasian. To show his sincerity he set the example of a maximum limit of two terms and never hinted or allowed a third term to be dangled before his eyes. Jason, Columbus, Magellan, Peary have set their names high as successful explorers. Death claimed the last. Rear Admiral Robert E. Perry, U. S. N. Friday February 20. With Columbus there were black men. When in 1993 Perry nailed the stars and stripes to the North pole, a black man, Matthew Henson, led the Turanian Eskimos in applause. This remark on Henson is attributed to Admiral Peary: "That black man is a natural born explorer, he may accompany us and we'll take the best care we can of him." Peace to the ashes of this singular Admiral. Courage is, no doubt, admirable because it is so rare. It is rarer still when it is displayed with reference to the Negro. Yet recently the country has witnessed four courageous expressions, one in act and three in words. Bishop George W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C., declared: White men owe it to themselves, the community, the state and nation to keep the laws which they themselves have enacted and to see to it that all law abiding Negroes are guaranteed such protection and enjoyment of every right and privilege that any other good citizen enjoys." Gov. Morrow of the Blue Grass state dared to do this. Gov. Thos. W. Beckett of North Carolina dared to enter another state and affirm: "The white man owes it to his own traditions, to his self-respect and to his self-preservation to guarantee to the Negro the fullest protection of the law. Real greatness and progress of men of races and of nations are measured not by power or possessions but by their contribution to the forces that make life brighter and sweeter that make life brighter." Listen, a newer note is sounded in Metropolitan Herald of Feb. 10, 1920 that will far towards causing Negroes to feel that the law is not altogether one sided. In its editorial on that horrible Lockett deed and the succeeding tragedy at the Court House are these words: "Though the head is bowed with brief and the eyes are dim with tears, there is pride that the law was protected and that officers of the law observed their solemn oath to execute and defend the law. When the glare and the flare of the flames of passion have subsided so experience can teach and reason make itself heard, it will be the verdict of Kentuckians that only by maintaining the law can life be made secure, only certainty of punishment will deter the vicious and protect the innocent. All Negroes heartily subscribe to this dictum and have no desire whatever to prevent swift and direct punishment by the law of the guilty and here in Kansas City. Negro police officers have speedily run down Negro criminals and place them within the reach of the law. Hear Helen E. Hagan Monday night. Mme.

WHAT "SHODDY" REALLY IS To most people the term "shoddy" signifies something cheap and musty, but goods made from the best-class rags are superior to many cloths made from low-grade woolls. A revival in demand is the more likely, as one of the great offices of the shoddy trade is to keep down the level of prices for wool goods. The use of substitutes for wool has in the past been due to the insufficiency of the world's supply of wool to make all the clothing demanded, and this insufficiency is very marked at the moment in Europe. The tendency during the war was to use more wool and less rags. Many of the normal sources of supply of rags, on the continent and elsewhere, were cut off from British manufacturers, and new rags, such as tailors' clippings, remnants and patterns were source. Thus there was a check to the manufacture of shoddy, using the term to cover all kinds of regenerated woolls. In a restricted sense shoddy denotes the soft rag wool obtained by tearing up long-fibered, unfelted goods, but in a vider sense it signifies all manufactured wools, as contrasted with natural wools, and includes mungo (which is obtained from short-fibered rings), extract obtained from cloths of mixed cotton and wool in which the cotton is reduced to cellulose by the action of sulphuric acid and the wool fiber preserved), and, finally, the flocks and wastes of different kinds which are collected in the woolen and worsted factories from the carding rooms, weaving sheds and failing mills. These machine wastes are usually sold direct from the factory. The manufacturing processes for shoddy are elaborate. The rags are first freed from dust and dry cleaned in a mechanical shaker, and then sorted according to their color or quality. Buttons and seams are removed and the rags pass to the grinding machine, where the fibers are tasseed out, preserving, as far as possible, their original length. With a mixture of New Zealand or other strong wool, shoddy makes a good yarn, while mongo is used in many of the best fabrics, chiefly in the weft thread, or is employed along with a cotton warp in the cheaper cloths. Rug wool thus finds its way into many sections of the woolen trade and its total consumption is estimated to exceed 200,000,000 pounds per annum. One of the great difficulties confronting the industry is lack of proper standards for the raw material. Rags vary infinitely in quality, color and condition, since every class of cloth, serge and tweed, as well as limited materials, such as stockings, are pressed into service. Uniform grading is unattainable, especially as the work of the rag sorters must vary. The blending of rag wool is important, since the combination of colors secured by proper blending is eagerly sought after. To insure a correct blend requires a fine taste and a sense of color harmony which are comparatively rare. —London Statist. Mound Builders Cannibals That the builders of the famous Indian earthworks on the Crawfish river, near Lake Mills, were cannibalistic, is the statement of Dr. S. A. Barrett, president of the Wisconsin Archeological society. "That many of these mounds were constructed for ceremonial purposes was evident from excavations we have made," declared Doctor Barrett in a meeting of the Wisconsin Historical society. "In the center of some of the higher mounds within and outside of the inclosure were found ceremonial pole walls imbedded in stone and cement made of gravel and clay. In a few of these mounds we have found stone hatches, arrowheads and cellos, and in one of them we found an ear ornament that was famous among the Eskimos. From the pottery found in these mounds it is evident that the tribe which built the famous enclosure at Aztalan was familiar with the Iroquois Indians in the East, the Algonquins and lower tribes of the Mississippi valley. This earth enclosure was a ceremonial establishment. It was not a stockade; it was not a fortification. There are indications that the people who built and inhabited this place practiced cannibalism. Among the bones of fish were found dismembered bones of human beings, and these bones had been cracked for their marrow." Pay of Jap Soldiers. In the opinion of the Jui, the pay of Japanese soldiers is too small. At present it is 1.56 yen (78 cents) a month for first and second-class privates, and 1.95 (98 cents) for corporals. Even if the pay be increased 50 per cent, says the editor, it will not suffice for the needs of the soldiers. At present they have to get money from home to make up the shortage, which is not right. The total pay of the soldiers amounts to $2,150,000. If it is trebled, the government will need only $4,300,000 additional. Only a Few. "Everybody knows about it.

The uneventful and commonplace hour is where the battle is won or lost. Thank God for a new truth, a beautiful idea, a glowing experience, but remember that unless we bring it down to the ground and teach it to walk with feet, work with hands, and stand the strain of daffy life, we have worse than lost it—we have been hurt by it. A new light in our heart makes an occasion—an occasion is an opportunity—not for building a tabernacle and feeling thankful and looking back for a pleased memory, but for shedding the new light on the old path and doing old duties with new inspiration. The uncommon life is the child of the common day lived in an uncommon way. One of the country's leading merchants in addressing an audience of young men, once said: "Whatever may be your business in life, my young friends, whether it be in professional, mercantile, or mechanical pursuits, remember this: that which you earnestly desire, will doubtless come to you." This may be considered a strong statement, certainly, but it is one founded upon the possibilities of the human character. That which men earnestly desire they labor to secure, and through strong, preserving efforts, come the realization of their wishes. The desire that does not lead to action is imperfect, but the desire that has the strength of determination to conquer is the one that wins. The resolute mind knows no impossibilities. Obstacles may come up, to be sure, but the determined spirit does not acknowledge that they are insuperable. No difficulty is so try- and earnest, persistent effort the man or woman of character will depend for success. To each person, duty comes daily, presenting to everyone a countenance more or less forbidding. Often the right has the appearance of a severe taskmaster and the wrong smiles much more being, but that there is a possibility bewitchingly. The world may point to evil and call it good, and friends may offer their protests against a course that conscience plainly pronounces right. But duty never wavers. It is true it sometimes brings apparent impossibilities with it, but whether these come in the nature of physical infirmities, inconvenience or unpopularity, they must be met. Then it is that the impossible puts on possibility, and found to be merely brazen images chained by the pathway of life. The present year will probably show a favorable increase in new business enterprises, the outgrowth of Negro brain, effort and finance. Greater Kansas City will no doubt come in for her share, as the Negroes are catching the business spirit and beginning to realize that they are not white and have not come to the point where conditions and necessity alike demand more business for our people, conducted by our people. The Negro must take notice of the fact, however, that no business is business, unless, conducted upon strictly business principles. The white man is courteous to a dog if he thinks he has a dollar to spend, likewise the Negro must not forget, that courtesy is a valuable asset in the business world. If the Negro is going to sell groceries he must keep his store clean and keep a general stock of staple goods and fresh meats and vegetables, be courteous and do not keep mustmasters waiting unnecessarily. The stockholders of business concerns should not come to their stores to transact their business while the customers stand around waiting to be served. The director's meeting should consider all matters having to do with the management and conduct of business. There is no mistake but that Negroes can successfully conduct any kind of business, and be patronized by Negroes who are glad to pay for what they get. One great drawback to many S. W.

Why the Brown Skin Kewpies, is that so. Haven't you one in your home yet? No, not yet, but I am looking for the places I can get one. Can you tell me where to find them? Why sure I will tell you. They are on sale at the Wood and White Drug Co., 19th and Vine; People's Drug Co., 18th and Paseo; Theo Smith Drug Co., 18th and Tracy avenue; Thompkins Pharmacy, 3rd and Troup, Kansas City, Kans., Mrs. Hubbard's Millinery store, 1607 "A" E. 18th street; and by calling Main 2016 Bell phone you will get in touch with Mrs. Rice at 101 Tracy who looks after all orders promptly. Now you can get these Kewpies at a reasonable price at any of the above places and on buying these dolls you will say you are well pleased. Try them and see. The Kansas City Sun of our merchants are, that they are afraid of carrying too large a stock, but at this time there is no danger of having too much, because anything will sell if put in saleable shape, and at a good price. We should not be ashamed to take the money where money is crying for us to come and get it. Grasp the business idea, brother, and, watch your step. Every noble life makes the world nobler. All who see it are unconsciously helped forward by it. There are so many times when we are able to help others by leading exemplary lives, where our talk would fail. People while being impressed sometimes by what we might say to them, are far more impressed by what we are. If our Christian people and leaders would practice more thrift and economy and get the idea instilled in the minds of the masses, there would be less need for alms houses. If the people were taught more how to live in their homes, and to provide against the day of need, what a different country we would have. But it cannot be done until the church separates itself from the world. 4 8th & Walnut, 12th BALTIMORE SHIRT CO.

The most dominant feature in the human family, yet the least conspicuous in appearance, is cowardice. Show me a man or woman entirely free of it and you will have encountered a miracle. You find traces of it, in a hundred different ways, too numerous to mention, yet there are some that carry an inward rule. A failure to speak for the right against friend or foe, a chance to do a worthy act all withheld because of what someone may say. Many scorn slavery and yet we are in a greater condition of slavery today; a slave to social customs and ideas. The world is in need of someone free of cowardice. The race is in need of someone free from cowardice. Where are they to be found? What is to hinder? Regardless of the condition to be, look toward cavalry upon whose rugged brow our SAVior died; while the cowards who placed Him creep and died. Then nothing but the Truth shall make us free from cowardice. For if we know it we shall be free indeed. PASTORAL LETTER OF THE ARCHBISHOPS AND BISHOPS OF THE UNITED STATES TO THE CLERGY AND LAITY OF THEIR CHARGE. CATHOLIC EDUCATION We refer with pride and gratitude to the growth of our Catholic schools. It is an evidence of the interest which you take in the Christian education of your children. You are convinced, as we are, that religious instruction is not only a part of education but the most important part. It is the surest means of preserving our Catholic Faith and of training our children to become good men and good women. It teaches them to respect authority, to obey law and to be as careful of the rights of others as they are of their own rights. It is the best preparation for citizenship. By supporting our Catholic schools you render most valuable service both to the Church and to our country. There is no more genuine patriotism. We desire to encourage your efforts in the cause of higher education. In order to preserve the good results of their training in the elementary schools, our pupils should continue their studies in Catholic high schools and colleges. The time which is necessary to complete their education will be spent with profit. They will gain a more thorough knowledge of our holy religion together with the instrue which they need to prepare them for any pursuit in practical life. With a view to enlarging the opportunities for higher education, the Holy See, at the instance of the Hierarchy, established the Catholic University as a center for our schools and colleges. Its development is of vital importance for our entire educational system. And we therefore record our grateful appreciation of the generosity which it has been supported, through the yearly offerings of the faithful, the funds created by our Catholic associations and the endowments received from individual Catholics of intelligence and zeal. We take this occasion also to express our hearty approval of the teachers who have given their lives, in a spirit of consecration, to the work of our schools. We commend them, not alone for instructing many in knowledge and virtue, but chiefly for setting an example of the devotion and self-sacrifice on which the nation as well as the Church must always depend. Negroes and Indians. It is mainly through education that we shall improve the condition of the Negro and Indian races and enable them to enjoy more fully the blessings of religion. Both justice and charity require that they be given the fair opportunity of which they have so long been deprived. In the eyes of the Church, as in the sight of God, all men have been redeemed at the same price; and all have need of the same spiritual guidance and the same good will on the part of their fellowmen. We therefore invoke the Divine benediction on those who are laboring in the interest of the Negro and Indian; and we depreciate most earnestly all attempts at stirring up racial hatred, which so often expresses itself in deeds of violence unworthy of a civilized nation.

Kansas City, Missouri MARTIN'S BANK JAPAN --- A further educational problem demands our attention and our united effort in behalf of those who come to our country as immigrants. For the most part, have but the vague ideas of American life, institutions and government. Hence, they are easily missed and brought under influences which would make them, openly or in secret, the worst enemies of order and of religion as well. We are specially concerned that our Catholic immigrants shall preserve their faith, and, in accordance with its teachings, become useful citizens. Let them understand that respect for law is an essential part of their duty, that the Church requires it of them wherever they may be and that, to deserve blessings of freedom, they must lead an upright Christian life.

RATES REASONABLE POVERTY SOCIAL DO THE DOCTORS KID US? By Old Timer. Back in slave time when I was raised, we never heard tell of the germ theory. We all bit off the same plug of tobacco, drank from the same jug of red-eye, used the same dipper at the spring and kissed as much as we pleased. But now the doctors tell us that everything is covered over with germs of all kinds of diseases and that death lurks in every object within ten feet of us; so we are afraid to hold the straps on the street cars to keep from stepping on the slim lady's feet or plunging into the fat man's digestive paunch. We can't kiss our wife or the hired girl either for fear that the next kiss may be from the lips of the cold, grim monster. We are literally scared to death! And the one thing that puzzles us is that it seems that the doctors themselves are not afraid of the very things they scare us about. They go about from house to house healing diseases and collecting the paltry three dollars without fear or trembling. They seldom shift their suits of outer garments and use the same fever thermometer upon the flu patient, the lunger and the man who is merely faking. If the thermometer is washed at all, it is between acts so far as the human observations go. Yet the doctors claim that they are always upon the alert to prevent the spread of contagious germs. That's a great mystery, just how they can treat chickenpox, measles, whooping cough, smallpox all in the same block and never carry the germs while a brief call at one of these infected places would be sure to kill anybody else. The dentists do not say much about the germ theory but it is clear that they are not as afraid as the doctors for they put the same pretty little silver-handled looking glass into the mouth of each patient who calls during the day without ever washing it and the cruel little probe with which they look for holes in the dentine has been through days and days of service among germs without a single dip into alcohol or peroxide. We should give the dentist credit for washing his hands but we never see him wash anything else, not even those little disk tortures with which he just ground the D—out of the consumptive little lady who just went down the steps weeping. Perhaps some of these days someone will write a book on this subject and tell us that there are no germs at all and that the doctors have just been kidding us for fun. The base ball meeting held in our city the last week brought together some of the biggest base ball men in the country connected with Negro Base Ball clubs as well as the best sporting writers in the country. The meetings which were held at the Community Club Rooms were well attended and much interest taken in the proceedings. The meeting resulted in the forming of a base ball organization to be known as The Western Circuit of Negro Base Ball League. The clubs and cities taken into the League this season are Chicago American Giants of Chicago, A. B. C. Club of Indianapolis, Ind.; Detroit Stars of Detroit, Mich.; St. Louis Giants of St. Louis, Mo.; The Kansas City Monarchs of this City. The Cuban Stars of Havana, Cuba, Chicago Giants and Dayton Marcos of Dayton, Ohio were taken into the League as traveling clubs. The circuit will be operated through a booking agency handled by Andrew Rube Foster of Chicago and each city assigned dates with other clubs instead of a regular league schedule being played. Plans were made for a regular base ball league to begin operation in 1921. A constitution was adopted and guarantees posted by each club to live up to same which means that this city will this season see some of the best Negro base ball clubs in the country playing here. With clubs of this caliber being brought to our city the fans will run Chicago a cloak second for being a red hot base ball town. The Smoker given to the base ball magnates and visiting newspaper men by the Elks Saturday night was well attended and much interest shown. The members of the Kansas City Club will report here about April 15 and the first game will be played at Association Park. Madame E. Neff Barber For first treatment $1.00. We make up combits.
