NUMBER 33. 411 REGULAR SOUTHERN T Prominent Men Their Purpose to Make An Negro Business and Educa An Interesting Trip Fr CHAPTER I. Some months ago Prof. J. R. E. Lee, the progressive principal of Lincoln High School of this city, at an informal luncheon attended by a number of business and professional men, suggested the idea of a delegation of representative men visiting the Southland and studying conditions and ascertaining the methods used by the people of our group in the South to achieve the wonderful business success for which some sections of their country is noted. Mr. Lee had been associated with the educational developments of our Race in the South for more than twenty-five years, more than sixteen of which were spent at Tuskegee Institute, and when his ideas were accepted relative to the trip, naturally he was selected as the leader to arrange the itinerary, routing and program and magnificently he filled all of these trying duties assigned him. On April 9 at 5:30 o'clock over the Frisco this history-making delegation, twenty-seven in number, left on their tour of nearly three thousand miles. People of both races in every city visited, have had a new awakening and the men of "The $50,000 Business Men's Special," as it has been called, have a new vision of the achievements and possibilities of the South. The first stop was Memphis, Tennessee. There they were met with automobiles by committees with the following chairmen; Reception, T. H. Hayes; finance, Dr. J. L. Deloney; program, Dr. W. T. Vernon; general, Rev. T. O. Fuller. Breakfast was served at the community center, followed by a stroll through the business district, where the banks, retail stores, insurance companies, Roddy's chain of grocery stores, and various other enterprises were studied. Luncheon was served at the industrial settlement home, and then followed an observation auto drive, to the outlying places of interest, including the schools, colleges, the great undertaking establishment of T. H. Hayes, which practically covers a city block, and a drive through the boulevards. After dinner at the Community Center, a reception to the visitors was held by the Federation of Women's Clubs, where felicitations were exchanged, and addresses were delivered by a number of visitors, including Nelson C. Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun; Attorney C. H. Calloway; Rev. J. W. Hurse, Dr. S. H. Thompson, and others. The visitors were officially welcomed to Memphis by two of the city commissioners. The next stop was Birmingham, Ala., the "Pittsburgh of the South." The committee from the local Business League, headed by the following as committee chaimen: Professor W. L. Porter, principal of the high school; W. B. Driver, insurance man, and Hill Harris, president of the local Business League, met the visitors The the Un At 11 The Kansas City Sun Entered as second-class matter.

In a beautifully printed souvenir given to the party, it was stated given to the party, it has a population of 65,000 Colored people, has 16 public schools, also the Howe Institute, LaMoyne Institute, Henderson Business College, St. Anthony Parochial School, Etude Conservatory of Medicine, Dentistry, Nurse, Nurse Baptist Hospital of 100 beds, and the Wilson Surgical School and Training School of 75 beds which are first class in the respect. Museum has two of the best banks visited in the South, of which is the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Co., of which J. W. Sanford is president and B. M. Roddy is cashier, a capital stock of $100,000 and deposits of $40,000.00. This bank is erecting a 6-story building for their future home which will be modern in every respect. Every office for which except the ones used by the banking firm, has already been leased. The Fraternal Savings and Trust Co. is another splendid bank, of which Mr. William Burroughs is president, and A. F. Ward is cashier. They have also let a contract for a new 10-story building for their future home. Possibly the most inspiring things witnessed was the Roddy chain of cooperative stores, which has 14 stores now in operation with a paid up capital of $40,000.00, employing more than 50 young men and women with monthly sales of more than $32,000, of which Mr. B. M. Roddy is president and founder. They have five drug stores, three insurance companies, four newspapers, two printing offices, seven undertaking firms, and three new corporations are now being projected, among which is the Tri-State Casket and Coffin Co., with a capital of $200,000, which T. H. Hayes is president, a mercantile company with $100,000 capital, of which R. B. Roberts is president and C. L. C. Manufacturing Co. with a capital of $50,000, T. F. Johnson, president. The Martin Barber College is one of the most complete establishments found in the entire South, situated in a beautiful building that occupies a position on one of the prominent streets. The University of Tennessee, under the leadership of the indomitable and aggressive Dr. M. V. Lynch, is doing a wonderful work and is equipping many splendid young men and women for the profession. Dr. W. T. Vernon was on hand to see that everything possible was done for the convenience and comfort of the guests and stayed with us until our train left his city. All Memphis is enthusiastic for the election of Dr. Vernon to the bishopric. Among prominent places visited by the delegation (Continued to Page 8.)

The little tots of the Colored Orphans' Home, will have a rare treat Monday evening as the guests of Mr. Goldman, managing director of the Lincoln Theater. Arrangements have been made for bringing the children to the theater in automobiles and for the serving of popcorn and doughnuts after the show. The life of an orphan at its best is bleak and discouraging. As much as kind persons do to bring cheerfulness and as hard as the nurses and matrons work in their endeavors to provide every comfort and to replace the deceased parents of their children, it is not the warmth and happiness of the real mother-love. And in all of this darkness and sense of loss, there is that loss of courage which fits the child for the world's battle. Sometimes a ray of sunshine finds itself to the orphan's heart and brings to light a treasure that has been hidden. Such a play is Pollyanna, for in it Mary Pickford spreads sunshine and gladness issue as its rays of light. The drama has a wonderful human appeal. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1920.

The Republicans of Jackson County and the Fifth Congressional District held their convention in this city last Monday and it was a decisive and overwhelming victory for the regular Republicans headed by Walter S. Dickey, Robert J. Flick and Thos. R. Marks. At every turn of the road in the most skillful parliamentary battle ever waged in a political meeting in this country the anti-boss element was defeated at every turn and finally in desperation withdrew the only delegation they had on the floor of the convention the Fourth Ward and assisted in the organization of a rump convention which met in the passageway of the hall and went through the form of nominating delegates. The regular convention was presided over by Hon. A. L. Reeves in magnificent style, who ruled impartially, but firmly on every proposition. Robert J. Flick was the floor leader for the regular Republicans and he exhibited a degree of parliamentary knowledge and floor leadership that won round after round of applause from his friends and admirers. Speeches were made by many prominent leaders of the party, the Colored contingent being represented by Nelson C. Crews. and Mrs. Birdie Austin, while Messrs W. C. Hueston and Fred W. Dabney were members of the committee on credentials that was in continuous session from m10 a. m. Monday until 8:30 a. m. Tuesday. The congressional convention nominated as delegates to the national convention Robert F. Jlick and Hugh Martin and as alternates Miss Kate Fisher, and Mrs. A. L. Reeves. Resolutions were unanimously adopted indorsing Walter S. Dickey for delegate-at-large. One hundred thirty-two delegates were selected by the county convention to attend the state convention, twenty-one of whom are Colored. Convention adjourned at 9:15 Tuesday morning. NEGRO FOR CONGRESS NEGRO FOR CONGRESS. ST. LOUIS, MO., April 30.-At a big mass meeting largely attended, Lieut. Geo. L.

Dr. Theodore Smith, Kansas City's pioneer Negro druggist, leases additional space for his wonderfully growing business. Dr. Theodore Smith, known all over the country as Kansas City's pioneer druggist, who owns and conducts one of the largest drug stores in the West at 1301 East 18th Street, this city, has met with such wonderful success that he has found it absolutely necessary that his store expand, and has leased the adjacent building, 1303 E. 18th Street, in order that he may have sufficient space to carry on his wonderful and remarkably growing drug business. Dr. Smith carries a complete line of pure drugs and drug sundries, fine toilet articles, face creams, hair beautifier, combs, brushes and high class stationery. His motto is: Service, Quality and Price. A Sun reporter, in interviewing Dr. Smith, found the following facts: The years 1918 and 1919 were the greatest in points of business and finance during the entire period that Dr. Smith has conducted a drug store and he has decided that during 1920 he will transact $100,000 worth of business. And knowing Dr. Smith as we do we have no doubt but that he will "go over the top," because he has what the customer wants, and when he wants it and delivers it wherever he can be found; that is, if the customer lives on earth. Dr. Smith not only deals with the local trade of Kansas City, but carries on an extensive mail order business throughout the country. Dr. Smith says that he will put forth every effort to make his store not only the finest in the city, but the best equipped, most completely stocked drug store in the entire West. Dr. Smith epitomizes those lines of the poet, which say: "Heights of great men reached and kept kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they while their companions slept Were toiling upward in the night."

The shattered body of what was once a Buick 5-passenger automobile strewn along the side of the tracks of the Santa Fe Railroad at Eudora, Kansas, is conclusive evidence of the oft-repeated and biblical saying that "the wages of sin is death." For the occupants of the fateful machine speeding along the highways of Kansas on Saturday, April 24, evidently were bent on nothing but pleasure. No thought of ruined homes and broken hearts, perhaps, ever entered their pleasure-bent minds as they sped along to their fateful doom to be hurled into eternity without even having time to breathe a prayer. The accident occurred about 4 p. m. Saturday at the main street crossing of the Santa Fe Railroad. The car was driven by John S. Patrick of Kansas City and the names of his companions were Joseph Ransom, also of Kansas City, and Mrs. Edith Mendenhall, aged 22, of Denver, Colo., and the wife of a railroad porter residing in Denver, also Miss Flossie Walker of Topeka, Kas., aged 21 years. They were struck by Santa Fe train No. 10. Death must have been instantaneous to the women and Ransom, as the report by Dr. Miller of Eudora and other eye-witnesses stated that their brains were scattered from the crossing as far as the mill about fifty feet distant. chest was crushed; he had a large scalp wound and his neck was broken; the other two were not so badly. Patrick was breathing when picked up and was carried to the Santa Fe denot. He lived about ten minutes without uttering a word. Dr. Miller states both his legs were broken, his crushed. Mrs. Mendenhall's scalp was crushed to a pulp and her brain was strewn along the track for fifty feet or more. Citizens of Eudora state that the car was being driven at a high rate of speed, that all the curtains of the car were drawn and from the way Main street crosses the tracks, it was impossible for them to see the rapidly approaching train. Nothing was found from the wreckage save two strong suit cases and on the person of Mr. Patrick over $500.00 in money, also one .41 Colt's pistol and a .38 Iver-Johnson pistol. The bodies of Mr. Patrick and Mr. Ransom were brought here by a brother of the former, Mr. Roland Patrick and the funeral services were held Tuesday from the family residence, 2320 Flora avenue. Mr. Patrick was a son of the late Wm. Patrick who passed away about two months ago and who for thirty years was steward at the Kansas City Club. He leaves a wife, brother and a stepmother and a host of friends to mourn his untimely demise. James Thomas Black, the well known chauffeur, 41 years of age, died after a brief illness of thirteen days, residence, 1412 Euclid avenue, Sunday at 12:30 p. m. Mr. Black leaves one son, Clarence Black, who lives in this city. His funeral services were held Tuesday at 2 p. m. from the Second Baptist Church of which he was a member, the Rev. S. W.

While young Richman was in France Mrs. Hefferman never wrote him, believing that when he returned from France all would be forgotten and she could return to Brooklyn. However, when Richman returned he at once took up the search. One day he saw a piano box about to be loaded on a truck. It bore the name of the missing teacher. The address given was Massillon, O. Richman found Mrs. Hefferman in that city, and, though she refused at first to see him, he was so persistent that she eventually agreed to meet him. The meeting took place in Cleveland, and again Mrs. Hefferman tried to discourage Richman. He declared, however, that he would never give her up, and she then consented to marry him. They went to Warren and the ceremony was performed there. "Since his teens he has declared his love for me," Mrs. Hefferman said, "and, though I tried and his parents tried to dissuade him, it was to no avail. He was a persistent lover."

GOOD STYLE IN SUMMER WRAPS 1920s Ginghams Return With Summer 1 COATS and sweaters, for spring and summer wear, reveal a great variety in designs with very few freakish or ungrateful models among them. The standard of "style" is high; that is, in color and form the new outer garments are artistic and pleasing and there are models for all personalities. The sweaters and sweater coats preserve the characteristics of sports garments, but have taken on additional dignity by using elegant materials and adopting the required lines. This fits them to play more than one role, for street dress with a sports dress flavor is among the things that have arrived to spend the summer with us. A great many cape-like wraps, and modifications of the cape, are displayed for summer wear. These are long and have big collars, as a rule, some of them to be correctly described as huge. A few have moderate collars of summer furs; squirrel being a favorite. The liking for long capacious wraps has survived the winter. Even coats often emphasize the dominance of the cape by introducing the Ginghams Return MORNING dresses or utility dresses or porch dresses, as they are variably called, made of ginghams, chambrays, percals and other cottones, have soared in price until they bring as much as wool or silk frocks did in prewar days. The high cost of labor, more than anything else, has brought them up to the point where there is a very great saving in making them at home, and in addition to the saving there are other good reasons why mothers and daughters should do this work for themselves. Ordinary needlework ought to be a part of every girl's training and cotton house dresses or school dresses offer chances for learning what it is certain most women will some day need to know. For the aspiring flapper there are such pretty frocks of ginghams as those shown here, to lure her into learning how to use a needle. They could hardly be more simple, but they are neat and crisp looking and suggest all sorts of good times in summer weather. Such dresses are often made with gingham hats to match or hats of white organdy are provided for wear with them. And just lately adorable and frivolous sunbonnets have returned from a long exile, to take the place of summer sunshades. The colorings in the plaid and Spring Coats. It is a matter of choice this year whether or not a coat is lined. The materials popular during the winter, duvetyn, penchbloom and similar weaves, are equally good for spring coats, sans lining and with a new silk lining which is very suitable for the purpose. But not all the new coats are long. Any number of three-quarter models are no more than suit length. These very short coats are in box effects with flaring sleeves and usually have pretty colored linings “—Or Incomparably the Biggest Navy on the Seas” “—Or Incomparably the Biggest Navy on the Seas” WASHINGTON.—A growing fear that the horrors of another and still more disastrous world war is not beyond possibility, lies behind the plans for the modern military machine now being devised for the United States, according to Washington official gossip. Disillusionment, rather than the "menace of Japan," which Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels denied he invoked before the senate committee on naval affairs the other day, is admittedly behind his advocacy of preparedness. It also prompted his request for immediate action in the matter of the development of submarine bases along the California coast and Puget Sound, and the huge naval base at San Francisco. Likewise it was the inspiration for his general big navy policy. "I have learned a lot during the war," he is quoted as telling the house naval affairs committee.

The latest comparative figures on the navies of the great powers obtainable at the navy department are dated July 1, 1919. These showed Great Britain to be far in the lead in warship tonnage with 2,652,130 tons of fighting craft, as against 1,160,855 tons belonging to the United States, 623,850 tons flying the French flag and 580,716 tons belonging to Japan. Yankee Flyer Goes "Under Two Flags" Two Better WORD comes from Warsaw that Maj. Joseph C. Stehlin, a twenty-three-year old aviator of Brooklyn, N. Y., who already has fought in three armies has gone to Riga to enlist under the Lettish flag in the war against the Rusian bolshevik. If his services are accepted he will have served under four flags in four years. Since last fall Major Stehlin has been fighting in the aviation branch of the Polish army and in that service took part in the Polish drive which threw the bolshevik out of Dvinsk. Stehlin, who was formerly a life guard at Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, went to France in January, 1917, and joined the French flying corps, where he won two citations and was pro- moted to be sergeant for alding fellow aviators attacked by German planes. When the American army went over to France Stehlin transferred his allegiance to the American flag, received a commission as first lieutenant of aviators, and took part in actions in the Champagne, Verdun, and Soissons sectors.

LESSON (By REV. P. B. LIEZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) LESSON FOR MAY 2 THE BOY SAMUEL LESSON TEXT-I Sam. 1:24-28; 3:1-21. GOLDEN TEXT-My son, give me thine seart, and let thine eyes observe my seart. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-I Sam. 1:1-22; 2:1-36. PRIMARY TOPIC-The Child Samuel m God's House. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Boy Who Listened and Obeyed. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Training for Religious Leadership. POWER PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Religious Capacities in the Training of Children. I. Samuel Given to the Lord (1:24-28). Samuel was given to Hannah in answer to prayer. His name means "asked of God." For a time he was cared for by his mother in the home. In asking God for a son she vowed to dedicate him to the Lord. Accordingly at an early age she took him to the sanctuary and gave him over to the charge of Eli. Thus in his tender years he ministered to the Lord. II. Features of Israel's History in This Period. 1. A demoralized priesthood. (1) The priests were accrued by (greed (2:12-17). It was God's will that those who ministered at the altar should live of the things of the altar, but they broke through the divine regulations touching this matter and were securing their selfish ends by force. (2) The priests polluted the courts of God's house with the grossest immorality (2:22). 2. An alienated people. The only thing which separates people from God is sin. 3. A cessation of divine revelation (3:1). God was silent—"The word of God was precious in those days; there was no open vision." The message from the Lord was more a matter of memory than an active experience. The same thing in principle is true of the individual life today; some who once enjoyed fellowship with God no longer hear his voice speaking to them. In striking contrast with the degeneracy of the nation we have brought before us the beautiful life of Samuel. We see God getting ready for the regeneration of the nation. Dwelling within the sacred courts and ministering before the Lord with El, is the innocent Samuel, who is to be the savior of his people. In Samuel we have a striking pattern of child religion. The Lord gave him in answer to Hannah's prayer. From his birth he was dedicated to the Lord. While quite young his mother took him to the sanctuary of the Lord where he served and slept. It is a good thing to have much sin forgiven, but it is better far to grow up without sin. Two traits in Samuel's character stand out in this call; namely, his cheerful obedience to the Lord's call and his surrendered will. It was no easy thing to respond cheerfully to the three repeated call. It may have seemed to him to be unreasonable, but each time he obeyed in simplicity. He expressed his willingness before he knew what was required; he did not inquire what was wanted and then let his obedience depend upon its suitling him. IV. Samuel's First Prophetic Message (3:11-18). Up to this time Samuel obeyed the one who was over him, but the time had now come when he must directly hear and obey the Lord. The first message entrusted to him is a most terrible one. To deliver it is a most trying task. He hesitated to tell it to Ell, but when pressed by him he manifested the true courage which was lying back of his fear. It must have been a bitter sting to Ell to see Samuel recognized and himself passed by, but he was submissive. He knew that the slight was just; he could not fail to interpret it thus in view of the appearance of the man of God to him (2:27-30). This fearful visitation upon Ell's house was due to the slns of his sons. He was held accountable for not restraining them. Parental laxity is most cruel. There is an age in which children may be restrained, but when passed over the power to restrain goes with it. V. Samuel Established in the Prophetic Office (3:19-21). "And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord." This is a verification of the saying "Him that honors me I will honor." Little did Hannah realize that the boy who had been given in answer to her prayer would one day become the head of the nation. This new position brought great danger to the boy, but the God who raised him up was able to sustian him. The New Song of Christianity. We are reminded today of the great company standing upon Mount Zlon, before the throne, worshipping the Lamb with praise and honor and blessing, and the harpers are there harping with their harps—men whose lives have been strung and drawn by the tension of suffering until they have emitted in the blows of martyrdom the song of praise acceptable before God. And today they sing a new song. It is the song of infant walling; an inarticulate cry; the voice of those whose only language is a cry. The new song of Christianity, which Stole and Epicurean had failed to learn; the dignity, the force, the power of simple suffering.—W. C. E. Newbolt. Comes From the Bible "Be not weary in well-doing, for ye shall reap in due season if ye faint not." That is sound agriculture and progressive home building and it comes from the Bible. LAURA'S HEEL By JANIE OSBORN (6) 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. If you had happened to be buying shoes on a certain May morning in Dawson's smart shoe shop you might have seen a prepossessing young shoe salesman with his footstool drawn close to a bewitching young customer, and you would have thought their conversation was more heated and more intimate than the purchase of a pair of shoes or so would usually warrant. If you had overheard you would have got this: "But I think it was extremely underhanded of you," from the girl, "You told me you were learning your father's business in every detail and I knew he was in the shoe business but I never dreamed that you were actually waiting on people, selling women's shoes. "I shouldn't think you'd want to. And you didn't want me to, I am sure, or you would have told me so right out. If I just hadn't happened to walk right up to you before I even recognized you I never would have found it out. Of course, I didn't know that your father was really at the head of Dawson's." "I had nothing to be ashamed of," said young Dawson, with considerable asperity—asperity that set very well on his well-molded, forceful features. "In my letters I did not go into details because I didn't know you would be interested. I told you what I thought would be of most interest to you. I told you that I would soon be promoted to the post of vice president of the concern with a quarter interest in the business. I told you what my income would be within a few months. I told you because I thought it only fair for you to know these things in considering my proposal." Then followed an awkward pause. Poor little Doris seemed to be blushing with intense embarrassment and there was nothing for her round blue eyes to do but to glance down at the white buckskin pumps that young Dawson had showed her before she realized that he was young Dawson at all. For Doris, in fact, had been too preoccupied thinking of the letter of proposal that had come that very morning from young Dawson to notice the young salesman who waited on her, even though he was as obviously good to look upon as was Dawson. "Well, I suppose I might as well get the shoes anyway," she said lamently. "Yes, I think that those will do." "Not if I have anything to say about it," came from Dawson, and he was surprised at his own temerity. Perhaps he had a sort of caveman desire to subject the little blue-eyed girl to even more embarrassment than she already felt, to punish her in part for the opinion she had expressed concerning his present humble calling. "If I am going to have anything to say about what you do and don't do, I am never going to let you wear shoes like that—I gress I know from my experience here as salesman. Heels like that just ruin the shape of women's feet. Oh, perhaps they are all right for dances and parties, but you want these shoes to walk in. I wouldn't talk to any ordinary customer that way, but I've got to talk to you straight from the shoulder. I never imagined women tortured their feet the way they do, and it's something that every shoe manufacturer and retailer ought to know. That's why I'm glad I am spending these weeks selling shoes." "But I think I have a right to buy the sort of shoes I wish. Besides you don't know how I am answering your letter." As a matter of fact the letter was on its way containing an answer unquivocably in the affirmative, Doris had planned to get these detectable shoes for a spring house party to which they were both invited the next week-end. High-heeled white buckskin pumps were essential to producing the picture that she contemplated. "Look at the shoes you've got on now," rubbly went on young Dawson, holding up a dainty high-buttoned boot with exaggeratedly long-pointed vamp and the extreme of high heel. "That's ridiculous. It'll ruin your health and I'll bet it's flendishly uncomfortable." Doris did not relish this frankness, "I think I've stood all I am going to stand from you," she said. "You are taking a very unfair advantage of me to get down and say things about my shoes and my feet." She was trying desperately to tuck a little silk-covered foot under an abbreviated skirt. "Please put my shoe back on and let me go." The shoe was eventually buttoned up and Doris rose. "Forgive me, whispered the shoe salesman looking up pleadingly from his stool. "I only Oh. Don't Mention It. A number of the neighbor women just stopped in to have a little gossip and one of them said: "Who do you think I saw downtown yesterday? He was buying some strange woman a soda and I'll bet he never said a word about it to his wife." She then told the name of the woman. It was not until the last neighbor was gone that little four-year-old Ruth said: "Mother, I don't think Mrs. So and So (mentioning the name of the woman who had told the story) has any room to talk about other women's husbands. I never told you, but one day last week Mr. So and So bought me a soda. And when I said, 'Thank you' to him, he said, 'Oh, don't mention it.' And I never would have told it if his wife did not think she was so smart." But He Won. I am engaged in a work which gives me great pleasure, and the tracing of language through more than 20 different dialects has opened a new and before unexplored field. I have within two years past made discoveries which said it tor your own good. I wanted to show you some of the sort of shoes I think a girl like you would like better. They're lots nifter than these. With your little foot they'd look wonderful, and they'd be so much better for you." But Doris was obdurate. She was miserable but she was taking a strange youthful feminine delight in torturing the man she knew well enough she loved to distraction. She knew she would be filled with tenful remorse as soon as she was home and had time to think of it, but now it gave her a strange sort of pleasure to torture him. She minced her way on her high heels out of the shop without even turning to bid him good-by and Dawson was left to gather together the array of high heeled white buck-skin pumps he had got out for her inspection. About a half hour inter young Dawson was hurrying along the avenue, bent on getting to his rooms to see whether a letter had yet arrived from Doris and back again within the hour allowed salesmen at Dawson's for lunch. His interview with Doris herself had left him without the slightest appetite for that repast. If she had actually written a letter of acceptance then this little difference might be made up. He could hold her to her decision, send her five or six, ten dozen if necessary, American beauties, ten pounds of the best candy and perhaps she might still be his. Because of his haste he was especially annoyed midway of a busy block. A crowd had gathered that stretched "o the curb. Abstracted as he was his ears were not deaf to comments he heard. "Smatter? Somebody hurt?" asked one of the crowd trying to push his way through for a better view. "Naw," came the rejoinder from some one in a more advantageous place. "Lady stuck." "What you mean, stuck?" came from the first. "High heel in a iron grating," was the reply, "'Swonder more don't get caught that way.'" Then came a suppressed chuckle from the crowd. But young Dawson had heard enough. Eager as he was to get to his rooms, he took time to push up to the crowd and, being of more than average height, he did not have to push very far before he saw the center of that good-natured gathering of lunch hour pedestrians. It was Doris, the dainty blue-eyed girl of his dreams and stuck she was with one high buttoned boot within the bars of a basement grating. A fat but obliging man was down on hands and knees trying to pry the shoe loose with a flat key. Some one was suggesting that they had better let him cut the heel off with his pocket knife and others were suggesting that the lady unbutton her shoe and walk out of it, when it could be twisted about and loosened from the grating, but as the lady had no button hook that suggestion did not meet the favor of the crowd. "I have a button hook," interrupted Dawson's clear voice as he pushed his way holdly into the crowd. "Salesmen from a shoe store," snuckered an observer. "They always carry button hooks in their pockets." By this time Dawson's muscular arms were moving definitely from side to side with a definite alm to disperse the crowd. And the loiterers knew from the expression on his face that he meant business. "Stand back," he commanded, "the lady will faint if you don't give her any air. Haven't you men anything better to do than to stand laughing at a lady in a predicament like this?" "Serves her right for wearing those high heels," throw back one of the last to leave Doris and young Dawson. It was a simple matter unbuttoning the high shoe, and once Doris had stepped out of it Dawson easily worked the heel loose from the iron grating. But he did not wait to button it back on. He halted a passing taxi cab and bundled the poor, speechless Doris therein, and, stepping in beside her, ordered the taxi cab to go to the uptown home of his married sister. "I can't take you to my own place, obviously, and just as obviously you can't go all the way out to your country place. And I know you'll want to rest up a bit after that ordeal. It will at least be perfectly proper to take you to my sister's and we can do your shoe up there." "But I don't like to take your time," came weakly from Doris, who was making a very plucky effort to fight off the faintness that she felt as a result of her pivotal position in the street crowd. "You oughtn't to take so much time for me. Weren't you going somewhere important?" "Yes, I was," said Dawson. "I was going home to see if you had sent an answer to the letter I sent you, but maybe you will tell me if you had written one and what the letter said." "I said yes, of course," said Doris with a little perplexed smile as she looked up at young Dawson beside her in the taxi. "And, honestly, I'm never going to wear those silly heels in the street again.

CASTS OFF HER CHILDREN WILL Recognize Them Only When They Quit Germany—In Danger of Becoming Destitute—$15,000 a Year Involved. New York.—Congress, through the passage of a special act, will shortly be asked to restore to citizenship the Baron Angus Augusta Louise de Haven-Alten, the former Miss de Haven of New York, who in 1883 married the Baron Eberhard von Alten, a German officer. Caught in Budapest when the revolution broke out in February of last year, the baroness, who is now known as Mrs. Louise de Haven, was forced to flee to Vienna as a German refugee, and after many viciousities reached Switzerland practically destitute. On money borrowed from a professor in Geneva, a childhood friend, she reached New York several weeks ago. The question of the restoration of Mrs. de Haven to citizenship was taken up by the house committee on immigration and naturalization and she recently appeared before the Committee and told her life story. Under German law her personal property has passed into the custody of her husband and her interests in a trust fund created by her grandmother, who was the widow of Admiral Abraham Bigelow, U. S. N., was seized by the enemy allen property custodian. Her attorney, Walter Bruce Howe of Washington, told the committee that Mrs. de Haven was "inevitably and rapidly approaching destitution." When very young Mrs. de Haven went with her father to live in Switzerland and was brought up near Geneva. On her nineteenth birthday she married Baron von Alten and went to live in Germany. She had two daughters, who are now married and living in that country. "My married life was not happy." Mrs. de Haven told the committee. In 1910 she entered into a formal separation agreement with her husband. In 1911, she said, she left Germany and has never seen her husband since. Her Funds Here Seized. Two years later she again brought suit. This time she charged her husband with misconduct. The war suspended all proceedings, for the law would not allow litigation against an officer on active duty.

TEMPERATURE IS NEGLIGIBLE Flowering and Fruiting Period of Practically Any Plant Can Be Controlled by Lengthening Day by Artificial Light. Washington, D. C.—Government agricultural experts have discovered that plant life seems to depend on light, rather than temperature, for nourishment and may be controlled by regulating the hours of light and darkness. The principle is revolutionary; but it rests on actual experiments, in which it was demonstrated that plants subjected to alternate periods of light and darkness in carefully determined, proportions could be brought to maturity at any time of the year. "Greenhouse experiments," says an announcement by the department of agriculture, "prove that the flowering and fruiting period of practically any plant can be made to take place at any time of year by darkening the greenhouse in the morning and evening, if Man With "Ingrowing Grouch!"

Helen Ross, who was represented by Attorney Gr...h Jones, secured a divorce on the ground of cruelty. Ross had brought the suit, but failed to appear in court. He charged his wife with cruelty and among his grievances was that his wife kept too many cats. Her main grievance against him was disclosed in a batch of letters from a woman who signed herself "Your Baby."

"About February, 1919, riots and revolution broke out in Budapest," Mrs. de Haven told the committee. "On the day of the outbreak an immense mob was resisted by the police near the hotel where I was. After the conflict some 30 dead and many wounded lay in the street near my hotel. The dend were brought into the corridor of the hotel and then the mob came in and seized everything in the dining room that could be eaten or drunk. The disturbance lasted all night. "In this situation I decided to accept a German passport. I did not go my self to the German authorities to ask for it, but I sent a friend who obtained it for me.

Flowers That Bloom in Spring Flowers That Bloom in Spring. "Spring flowers and spring crops happen to be spring flowers and spring crops because the days at the season of their flowering and fruiting have the proper number of hours of day-light." The discovery may be of the highest importance in the future planning of cropping systems for different regions. Eventually it may be found, according to W. W. Garner and H. A. Allard, scientists in the bureau of plant industry, who conducted exhaustive experiments, that the animal organism also is capable of responding to the stimulus of certain day lengths. They believe that the migration of birds may be an illustration, on the ground that direct response to such a stimulus would be more in line with modern biological teachings than theories which assume that birds "go south" as a matter of instinct. Experiments were conducted with a large variety of plants. It was shown conclusively that too little "sleep," or, in other words too many hours of daylight, would prevent many plants from even reaching the flowering and fruiting stage. It was found also that plants would not reproduce except when exposed to a favorable length of day, although too much daylight for flowering and fruiting might stimulate profuse vegetative growth. A length of day favorable both to reproduction and growth results in the "ever-bearing" type of fruits. By employing dark chambers the scientists shortened or lengthened the life cycle of plants and forced some of them to complete two cycles in one season. Violet, which naturally bloom only during the comparatively short days of spring, when covered with light-proof boxes for a time were made to bloom again during the summer. Bliox soy beans exposed to the light for only five hours a day flowered nearly three months earlier than plants left in the light all day, but attained only about one-eighth of the height. Temperature's Effect Slight. Temperature appeared to exert no influence in the tests. A striking illustration of the relative unimportance of temperature was given in the fact "Who's there?" and, receiving no answer, turned on a light to discover two men rattling her bank, containing 75 pennies. The men sprang for the doorway, with the girl giving chase, screaming at the top of her voice. She caught the man with the bank, meantime fighting off his companion, who was endeavoring to stifle her screams, and finally was knocked unconscious with a blow on the forehead with her own bank. The men escaped, taking the bank with them, and neighbors a few mo- Germans went on toward Germany, I got off in the railroad yard. All I had with me was two small handbags, I had nothing to eat or drink on the train." Because theyided with Germany in the war Mrs. de Haven said she broke off relations with her children. She added in her declaration that she would recognize them only when they came to this country and became citizens. "It is certain," she continued, "that unless relief by special act of congress in restoring me to citizenship is speedily afforded I shall be penniless and宜 dire want before I can regain my citizenship through the operation of the suit for divorce. Of the borrowed money, $4,000, I brought with me to this country, only about $3,000 is now left." Representative Isaac Siegel questioned Mrs. de Haven regarding her use of a passport as a German subject when traveling out of Austria. The use of a German passport, she said, was against all her instincts, but there was no other way for her to get out of Budapest. She used such a passport, she said, on the advice of Colonel Yates. "My only wish is to become an American, to live over here, and, if possible, to have money to live on. I am not well enough to go to work. That is all I wish. I do not care whether I get my German money or not. All I wish is to become an American, a good American." ARS IN GERMANY N. N.

Williams. that plants kept in the dark for a part of the day underwent in midsummer the changes that in nature come in the fall and that, hereforeo, have been attributed to lower temperatures. This was true even when the dark houses registered a higher temperature than the outside atmosphere. "The length of the day," the department's announcement said, "is proved to be the most potent factor in determining the relative proportions between the vegetative and fruiting parts of many crop plants. Indeed, fruiting may be completely suppressed by a day too long or too short. This new principle undoubtedly explains the erratic behavior which has been observed with many crops when they are shifted to different latitudes." WOMAN'S STOMACH JUNK PILE Operating Surgeons Find 1,200 Pieces of Metal Inside of Insane Patient. Baltimore.—An inmate of the Springfield State Hospital for Insane, at Baltimore, swallowed 1,200 metallic articles and is still alive, according to Dr. J. Clement Clark, superintendent. When the woman refused to eat, following her admission to the hospital, a hard mass was felt in her stomach. She was operated upon at a hospital and surgeons found 1,200 pins, 45 safety pins, 138 hairpins, 36 pieces of wire, 6 buttons, an iron hook, a nail, a paper clamp and a garter buckle.

Maybe you didn't know Old Man Jones. He was a printer, and he died last week, and there was a piece about him in the paper. The piece was four lines long and it was on the thirty-sixth page of the paper in the lower right-hand corner under an advertisement about soap or something. Maybe you didn't see the piece in the paper. No? Well, it is no wonder. There is so much in the papers, and old Jones didn't amount to anything, anyway. At least, he was of no importance. You could not expect the paper to give him any more room when he died. That same day there was a big scandal in high society, there was a revolution in Germany, seven people were caught drinking liquor, a movie "wump" said her diamonds were stolen, and a lot of other very important things happened. Old Jones was lucky to get even those four lines in the last hidden corner of the last page. And, besides all that, we are very sure that old Jones didn't and wouldn't give a whoop if the paper never even mentioned that he was dead. He had left the country and was in another country far more to his liking. He was with Socrates and Homer and the old gods and fighting men that he knew and loved in greasy books that he found in cheap second-hand stores and garbage cans where they had been discarded. Many a sunny hour have we spent with old Jones, learning from him things we never knew before. For 50 years he had read books that opened up Paradise to him. His life was spent happily. Death meant to him merely another journey which, at the last, he was eager to take. He was very wise and always very kind, and usually poor. Now, he is with 10,000 yesterday and as quickly forgotten as though he had been a king or a millionaire. Good-by, old Jones. Give our kindest regards to Socrates and all the other fellows out wonder in the Shadow Land—Los Angeles Times. No Flipping In Fiji Islands Sexes seldom meet in any form of social intercourse in the islands of Fiji. The boys never flirt with, nor even seem to notice the girls. In public there is a never diminishing distance between them, giving the island an appearance of being a world without love-making, and portraying primitive life as unromantic. The girls are shy, and manifest a timid reticence. Sydney Greenblee, writing in Harper's Magazine, says the male Fijian is extremely timid, but, for all that, none the less fastidious. The care with which he trains and curls his hair would put to shame any impatient husband of the valemnt of white women. The Fijian is particular about his hair without being necessarily girlish in his ways. Curls are made by a fine substitute for soap, made of a mixture of burnt coral with water. This is left in the hair for a day or two. When washed out and dried the hair is curled and combed and anointed. It is excellent from the point of view of sanitation, and makes the Fijian proud of his hair.—Exchange. Florida's Old Sugar Mill. The old sugar mill at New Smyrna, Flia., about 12 miles down the coast from Tyntona, stands amid moss hung trees, as a picturesque and legend haunted role of the ill-fated colonizing enterprise that in 1759 helped 1,500 Minorcans, Greeks and Indians to that region, and for a few brief years thereafter transformed seven miles of vine tangled swamp land, along the coast into orderly little plantations where grew Indian corn, cotton, rice, indigo plants and sugar cane. And it was probably for the crushing of this cane, a plant no longer grown in the vicinity, that the colonists built the old mill. The walls and machinery beds they made of coquina, a sort, whitish stone formed of broken shells and corals, cemented together by nature. The iron crushing machinery itself probably erected at a later period to replace the colonists' cruder apparatus, is nevertheless remarkable for its century long resistance to the fierce corrosion of the tropic damp, which quickly consumes unpainted ironwork. Keeping Heroism in Check Five-year-old Harry was almost sure that his mother would not give him a spanking for it now, for the ice had long ago disappeared, so he said to his mother: "Did you know that my brother Jim is a hero?" "How's that?" asked his mother. Jim, who is seven, spoke up: "Oh, it was nothing much, mother," and his chest swelled with pride. "We ran off and went skating one day last winter. Harry he gets out on some thin ice and is afraid to move, for he was sure that the ice was going to break. I just skated out to him, picks him up in my arms and skates to the bank with him." Long Coal Mines in Bad Shar CAPS All of the year 1020 will be intended to complete the removal of the debris in the pits of the coal mines around Lens, France. The majority of the mines are flooded, due to the destruction of the machinery. Electric pumps are being installed and new cement shafts will be constructed. Two or three years will be needed to pump out all the water. Food Values of Potatoes That potatoes differ widely in food value is shown by a report of the government's scientific committee. It is laid down that the most useful potato for food is one which contains the largest amount of dry matter. Where two varieties are practically equal in this respect, the nitrogen they contain enters into the estimation of their feeding quality.

THE CATS. Sunshine, the cat, and Snookums, the cat, were washing their faces be- fore they had their breakfast. Their mistress, whose name was Janet, gave them a little basin of water and they had grown so they liked that as well as their own tongues. A cat is washing its paws in a bowl. That is they liked the basin filled with water for washing as well as their own tongues — not that they would have preferred the basin of water to be kept in Little Toy Ducks. the basin of water to be kept in their mouths in place of their tongues. In their basin they had little toy ducks with which they played. Sometimes they would take the toys on the floor and what a good time they did have with them. "Well," said Sunshine, the cat with the golden yellow fur, "I think I must be having my breakfast." "I think the same," said Snookums, who was a black cat with touches of white fur here and there. "Well," said Sunshine, "did you hear what the mistress said about us?" "What?" asked Snookums. "She said we were the most wonderful cats she had ever known. She said we were really human, that we knew so much and that we understood far more than any ordinary cats," said Sunshine. "That was very nice of her, to be sure," said Snookums. "I like her for she gives me such a nice home, such nice cushions. I'm warm in the summer and cool in the winter—that is I'm a little confused. I mean I'm cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and she sees that it is so. I must have my breakfast and feel quite thoroughly awake, otherwise my talk sounds sleepy." So they had their breakfast which was waiting for them behind the kitchen stove. They, had bacon and eggs just like people would have and they each had a saucer of warm rich milk. "Ah," said Snookums afterwards, "that was a good breakfast." "It was indeed," said Sunshine. "Our mistress does know how to feed us." "Yes," said Sunshine. "we have every comfort. Every comfort anyone can think of. We're left alone and yet we're petted which makes us purr. We aren't put out in the least. I mean we're never made to do anything that is hard. We just lead a lovely lazy life." "It's the right sort of a life for a cat," said Snookums. "And we're a good pair too," said Sunshine. "Neither of us can feel envious or jealous of the other because we both get everything alike, even to petting." "You were saying something to me before breakfast," said Snookums. "which I was almost too sleepy to understand." "I was talking of the mistress and of all the nice things she had said of us." "Oh yes," said Snookums, "well that was very fine, because it means that we will be well looked after and will be most comfortable as she loves us so. It means that we will always have the things we now have which is very right and very sensible. But as for feeling happy over praise itself, Well, it goes in one ear and out of the other." "What? asked Sunshine. "How can it go in one ear and out of the other? I don't see it going in one ear at all. I don't see anything coming out of the other. I must say I am terribly confused." (2) "Ah," said Snookins, "that is an expression. When folks hear something that they don't pay any attention to or which they intend to forget right away they say that it goes in one ear and out of the other. It means that they of the other. It A Good Breakfast means that they have heard the words which have been spoken through one ear but they let them go out of the other. They don't bother to remember them or pay any attention to them." "And," said Sunshine, "that is what you do about the praise of the mistress?" "To be sure," said Sunookums, "the praise means nothing to me. The comforts do. For that reason I listen to what is said politely but do not pay any attention to it." "Well, I'm about the same way," said Sunshine, "only I never heard the saying before. Yes, comforts, a cat's comforts are the main things in life to a cat!" Girl Who Talks Too Much We do not go to the people who talk all the time for helpful, inspiring thoughts. The girl whose tongue runs from morning till night without stopping, does not have time to do enough thinking to make her words worth while. It is not necessary nor desirable that we should speak only when we have something profound to say, but we should be on our guard against the ceaseless flow of talk that has no connection with ideas.—Girl's Companion. ```markdown ``` GARY, INDIANA The World's Greatest Steel and Industrial Center and the City Where Real Estate has had the Greatest Natural Advances.

TO BE AN ANNUAL EVENT More than three thousand people attended the first indoor annual track meet of the Interstate Athletic Association, composed of representatives from Western University, Lincoln High School, Summer High School, Geo. R. Smith College, Topeka Industrial School, Olathe A. C., Barlett High School, St. Joseph, and Lawrence Y. and enjoyed two and one half hours of exciting and closely contested physical exercises. The hall resounded with school yells, interspersed with music by Lincoln High Military Band. The officers of the association are: President, P. J. Taylor, Lincoln High; vice-president, P. L. Jacobs, Western University; secretary, R. G. Jackson, Western University; assistant secretary, H. S. Williams, Summer High, Kansas City, Kas. Physical Directors: Western University, Miss E. B.

In the first event, 50-yard trial dash, the winners were: Montz of Lawrence, first; Arnett of Lincoln High, second; Christian of Western University, third; and in the finals they finished in the same order. Event 2—High jump was captured by Western University, Smith being first, Green, second, and Gray, third. The 880-yard run, which was event 3, was stubbornly contested and was won by Pyle of Lawrence, with Wilson of Topeka second and Hubbard of Geo. R. Smith College, third. A 50-yard dash between Howard P. Drew, holder of world's record, and Patterson, both of Drake University, Iowa, was won by a margin by Drew, although Patterson didn't seem to exert himself. Possibly the most exciting event of the evening from the students' viewpoint, was the 4-lap relay race between these ancient enemies, Lincoln High of Kansas City, Mo., and Summer High of Kansas City, Kas., and amid deafening applause, Lincoln came under the wire a winner, while the band played and the school sang, "Oh, Lincoln, Oh, Lincoln!" The poll vault, event No. 6, was a tie between Montz of Lawrence and Taylor of Western, while the shot put was easily won by Taylor of Lincoln High. Event 8, 220-yard dash, between Drew and Patterson, was neck and neck until within five feet of the wire when Drew forged ahead and won by a lash. Event No. 9, 50-yard hurdle, was won by Cohron of St. Joseph with Taylor and Smith of Western University second and third respectively. The relay race between Battlette High and Geo. R. Smith College was won by the Sedalia boys with ease, while the closing event. No. 14, a 440-yard run, open to all schools, was won by Arnett of Lincoln High, with Pyle of Lawrence, second, and Johnson of Summer, third.

Even before we reached this most picturesque theater building in the West for our people, the brilliant outside lights threw their rays upon huge crowds for almost a block in length, all wending their way to view this wonderful picture. Standing room was at a premium both Sunday and Monday, but all present seemed satisfied to see the picture whether or not they were fortunate in securing a seat. Although this picture had been widely advertised, the notices relative to it did not give it justice, as it would be very hard to describe the elaborate scenery, the thrills which one can but feel and the sweet, harmonious and appreciative music accompanying the picture. All pictures shown at this theater are of the same high class and to be pleased it is only necessary that you attend. FILM NEWS. Big Attraction Coming to Lincoln Theater. Last week the Lincoln played to packed houses. This was the answer to Mr. Goldman's question as to whether our group desires the same program of photo-drama as shown at the Newman, Liberty, Regent, and other downtown theaters. Everywoman, the greatest morality play ever produced, met with success. Especially as it was staged with Mr. Joseph Butler, the talented DuBois dramatic star, appearing in person in the character of Nobody. Every patron who attended the play left with the feeling that it was the best THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1920 they have ever seen. Lincoln Program. The Lincoln program furnishes a splendid 2-hour entertainment of the highest type. It consists of a feature picture, a two-reel comedy and an educational picture. Although Hi Cost has knocked the worth of a dollar into thirty-three cents, we still can see a splendid evening's entertainment for Seventeen Cents at the Lincoln. Pollyanna. Pallyanna is a glad play. The whole story can be summed up in its teaching, "Find something to be glad about, even under the most distressing circumstances." This is wonderful philosophy. For centuries the Good Book has been offering the consolation of this philosophy t the suffering. n Pollyanna it is applied to a story of modern life. When you come to see this drama, come prepared to laugh and cry at the same time. It is so human, so simple, so interesting, that you will feel your heart going out to your unfortunate friends. Pollyanna met with great success at the downtown theaters, at which it appeared. It is one of the most talked about plays of the year. Never has there been produced a picture that has influenced greater goodness than this Glad Play. Mary Pickford, the greatest star in Filmdom, appears as Pollyanna and is supported by an all-star cast. Playing at the Lincoln May 2 and 3, Sunday and Monday. No change in prices of admission.

Better grab this chance for a good home while the grabbing good—so long, kid!" That's how little Betty Blair, worn out after a hard season on the road with a cheap theatrical company, came to be occupying the false position in an aristocratic Southern family of widow of the only son. The death of young Hale would have made an avaricious cousin heir to the estate it were not for the widow, whom the cousin tries to prove phoney. The return of the supposedly dead hero turns the story into a spicy channel when he discovers his bogus widow and is forced, because of his mother's ill health and the machinations of the villain, to keep up the deception. The entrance of the real wife on the scene brings the story to a climax as surprising as it is happy—for all except the villain. At the Lincoln Theater Tuesday, May 4. William S. Hart. Following an announcement of several weeks ago of Hart Nights, William S. Hart, or "Two Gun Hicks" (as his admirers often call him), will appear in "Tiger Man," Wednesday, May 5. The story of the play is laid in the Far West when men pioneered the new lands. It is full of action and startling developments. The followers of the Hart series should not fail to see Tiger Man, for here they will see their hero in all of his glory and at his best. Do Men Retray? A powerful, thrilling drama, "Do Men Betray?" will be the headline feature for Thursday, May 6th. To tell the story of the picture here, would take away some of the beauty of the story, as it is really a big surprise as the plot of the play develops. Added Attraction: Charles Chaplin provides the double program for Thursday, in his presentation of "The Champion." The Champion brings out Brother Charley in his funniest mode. There are very few. Chaplin pictures being released and it is really a rare treat to see one occasionally. Border Legion. On Friday, May 7th, the Lincoln provides for a Special Big Feature Bill, exhibiting eleven reels of pictures. The feature will be the Border Legion, the story of which has just been completed as a serial in the newspapers throughout the country. Thousands of people in Kansas City followed the star's story and pronounced it as the best Zane Grey story ever filmed. The downtown theater which showed Border Legion several weeks ago, play to capacity houses. It is rumored that another downtown theater is going to bring it back for a return engagement. Big Serial Starts. Friday evening will also witness the starting of "Trailed by Three," now being played with tremendous success by the Globe Theater. It will be shown every Friday evening thereafter for fifteen weeks. No serial has been released during the past few years that is so novel in its development nor more thrilling and hair-raising in the startling escapades. It pulsates with action from start to finish and lags at no time during the story. Your suspense will last from the first to the last and closing episode. The play was written by the author of "In Old Kentucky," Chas. T. Dazey. We are therefore assured of a good, clean, wholesome and original story. The trail of the drama leads from the luxurious apartments of New York into and out of the darkest nooks of Asia an dAfrica. Stuart Holmes and Frankie Mann are the stars of this fascinating serial.

The Kansas City Monarchs will play their last game Sunday, May 2 at Association Park before leaving for the opening of their league games at St. Louis, May 9th. The club has been a little slow in rounding into shape on account of the bad weather, but Manager Mendez says that with a little hot weather his men will be up there battling for every game. So far the club has been playing with several of the regulars out of the line-up. Bare, the Cuban outfielder, so far has failed to report Bluko1, the reliable second sacker, who the fans all remember with the All-Nation Club, has been delayed on account of sickness in his family, but wired Mendez that he would be here in time to leave with the club. Rogan, one of the regular pitchers, is expected to arrive every day. When Blukoi arrives to fill in at second base we will have a wonderful infield. With Rodrigues behind the bat the club has a wonderful catcher; on first base Big Blue Washington, a new man from Los Angeles, Mendez says he has a find, a hard hitter and a player with lots of pep. Mendez on short needs no boost, as he is known as a great player; on third Portouda, the little Cuban, is without doubt the class of the league. The outfield is McNair, one of the best in the business; in center will be Bare, the Cuban; right field is yet to be decided on, depending on who shows best among several recruits. In the box Kansas City has a great looking pitching staff. With John Donaldson and Sam Crawford, two of the best in the country, and Rogan, the best pitcher in the regular army, the Monarchs have a staff to win many a game. Rube Currie, a home boy, is making a great impression and should easily make the team. Charley Lightner and Cunningham, two more recruits, are showing great form and with a little experience will make good and both will likely be carried until Mendez has a chance to give them a thorough trial. The game Sunday promises to be a great battle, as the Wilson Club has the pick of the city of star ball players, and has secured Roy Sanders, the big league hold-out, to pitch for them. Sanders is considered one of the best in the game today and if the Monarchs beat him they will turn a trick that Rube Foster's club and the Blues failed to do last season. With Donaldson or Crawford pitching Sunday, the fans are sure of seeing a great pitchers' battle. A BASEBALL WIZARD. Topeka Jack Johnson Was a Leader in the Game in the Olden Days. Now that Kansas City has a club in the National Negro League, it brings to mind the prediction of genial Jack Johnson, known as "Topeka Jack," that some day Kansas City would be on the baseball map. And the Sun has no hesitancy in saying that no man did more or worked harder to give Kansas City a baseball reputation of the first type than Jack Johnson and he has a multitude of friends who would like to see him connected with organized baseball once more. The Sun remembers the day that Jack Johnson drew as high as $1100.00 to a single game in the days when baseball was not what it is among Negroes now. Rota Mauel, who was expected to do some real southpawing for the St. Louis Browns this season, has decided to play independent ball in Colorado. One good piece of news comes from the Yankees. It is that Charley O'Leary is a much liveller coach than Pat O'Connor was. That will help some. Paskert's throwing has been a big feature of the spring training, and the veteran, who has been hitting the ball savagely, seems well on the way to a successful comeback. The Washington club has signed a Cuban catcher named Torres. He made such a good impression playing with the Havana stars against the Griffin at Tampa that Manager Griffin signed him on the spot.

There is a crying need here for homes. Because of the astounding development made in recent years Kansas City has been given nation-wide publicity of a desired and deserved character, but the good effect of all this will be more than offset by the unfavorable impression made on new-comers by the lack of housing facilities.

We might go on endlessly showing the relation of owning a home and its good effect on citizenship, its wonderful influence on character, its benefit to the community, civic pride and countless other examples. This is a city that is recognized by leading business men throughout the nation as one offering unusual opportunities and great prospects. Its growth, in both population and commerce, has practically just begun and its possibilities are unlimited. An investment, therefore, in realty displays good business foresight.

My deap Mana Cite Solmade: periences recently which I have de. sired to tell you of, but I have found that there are so many of you to write to that I decided that the best way to reach you all would be through the Kansas City Sun. I won't “harrow up” your feelings by telling you of the climate and beauties of Southern Cal- ifornia, of its sunshine and blooming flowers on every side all through the so-called winter and of the ripe straw- berries that we are picking daily. One of the things I wanted to write of is of special interest to “Y” girls, that is of the Y. W .Center of Los Angeles, Having been interested in the Y work of Kansas City, at the first opportunity I visited the center in Los Angeles. Here I met our friend, Miss Ethel Caution, as exec- utive secretary. She was formerly a teacher in the Kansas City, Kansas, High School, and a member of the Booklovers’ Club. She is doing a fine work here with the Y. girls. ‘A few weeks azo she chapeoned a party of high school girls and several “grown-ups” to a “house party” at the Santa Monica beach. Mrs. Wright, one of our people owning a furnished cottage there, donated its use to the Y girls for a “week-end” party. After ‘a jolly auto ride of 12 miles to the beach at sunset, came the building of |the camp fire, with wood donated by the Y. M,C. A. Then the “weenie || roast” with the songs and games and good time generally, in sight of “old ocean” till 10 p.m. When all were stowed away in the cottage “three | deep,” as the girls expressed it. || Saturday morning started with the .| “upsetting exercises” then the morn. | ing K. C.’s prepared breakfast, which ‘had been brought down with us from | the city, At nine o'clock after devo- | tional exercises, led by Mrs. J. E. Por- ter, chairman ‘of the committee of management, some of the visitors were called on to tell of the work in other cities. I was glad to tell of the Kansas City Y work. Between the play and the work of that Saturday the girls were made acquainted with the plan of organization. Arrange- ments were also made for a “get to- gether frolic to which all the Colored girls in the several high schools Jof Los Angeles were to be invited. .| Girls, I wish I could tell you of that | “frolic” in which more than a hundred || took part, There are four of five high schools in Los Angeles, some having very few Colored pupils and others a "large number, according to the loca. . tion in the city. It looks eae te -|me to see a hundred Colored Wigt -| school girls of ‘one city together and | yet very few of them acquainted with one another, So the first games ot | the evening were for the purpose o} )| getting acquainted. Each one wore _|tacked on the front of her blouse, 1 | | blue triangle card containing her name ./and school, and remembering the -|names and’ schools of their various ;| partners was no easy task. ‘Then fol .j lowed all kinds of jolly, rollicking | games, many with musical accompani: .|ment. The leader in any of of the | games was the executive secretary of the Central Association, who had als ‘|been present at the Santa Monicc .| house party. After an hour spent ir | games all assembled by schools for » _|program of music, recitation and | songs, not omitting’ the yells of th || various schools as their representa | tive appeared on the program. At th _|close they completed their organiza. ,| tion and planned for definite activitie: |such as mountain hikes and summe camp. They are also planning on my | invitation a hike to Monrovia some 1 | miles away, so you see they walk. | | will tell you of their visit when thes - | come. | But I must desenibe one more ex -|perience before my letter gets to -|long. For some twelve years it ha s | been a custom in Southern Californi f|to make a pilgrimage to Mt. Rubi y | doux at Riverside, California, for Eas ~ |ter services at sunrise. The numbe s |of persons making the trip increase |, yearly, so that it is estimated that a nj least fifty thousand persons climbe d | that rugged mountain train on Easte il| morning. Special trains run fro | every nearby city and hundreds of au -1 | tomobiles could be seen on the roac a|in that early morning light, all bour y-|for Mt, Rubidoux. Some ‘climb th if | trail on the evening before and cam al on the sides of the mountain so as | mn | Secure good positions to see and he ie |the services. Some friends and m: of | Self started up the winding trail abo ch | 4a. m. or I should put it, some frien ie | assisted me over boulder and bush 1 ic that long, dusty: teal. Boy Boon r-| were stationed at the most difficult ny |dangerous places to assist the old ai |and weaker climbers., Now and th 1- | the path led to a landing where a vic pt | could be obtained, of the country f p-|miles away, with its beautiful pate m- | work of field and orchard or the lo to |lines of arc Maaie the pretty ci pai et Riverside but we could: 5a s a 2 ee ga stop for'a long look for the surging crowds behind pushed us on. After an hour's climb we came in sight of the great cross that is plant- ed on the summit of the mountain. At the foot of the cross could be seen in the early dawn the large choir of singers from the different churches of the city. All arrangements seem to be under a community service com- mittee though I was told that the pil- grimage started under the Catholic Mission. Now, all denominations have & part in it, Just as the first ray of sunlight ap- peared in the East the strains of a cornet solo, “The Holy City,” hushed ‘the waiting, and surging crowds on that mountain, its silence. ‘Then led ‘by the large choir, all sang the well known hymn, “In the Cross of Christ I Glory.” This was followed by the Lord’s Prayer and responsive readings from the scriptures on a little pro- gram that had been handed to us at the foot of the mountain, One verse especially seemed appropriate, “And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they eame into the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.” It is strange how plainly the readings prayers and solos could be heard ir that clear mountain air, and the mem: ory of that mountain sunrise service with its thousands of worshippers anc over all the eross, lighted up the ray: |of the rising sun 'make a picture tha | is well worth the long climb. | ANNA H. JONES. (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, IIL, April 21.—In a letter, recently sent ‘by Senator Medill Me- Cormick of Illinois to the Associated Negro Press on the’ migration of the race from the south to the north the Senator has this to say: | “The migration of agricultural work- ers to industrial centers, the economic developments in the industrial field, have profoundly modified, and will more profoundly modify, the environ- ment of a large part of the Colored population of the country, ‘The violent outbreaks in some of our cities, to which lawless elements of both races immediately contributed, have borne some good fruit.

He is en route to the conference in St. Louis to represent California. Dr. Chas. F. Meserve, who has recently resigned the presidency of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., after twenty-six years of service and who before that time was principal of Haskell Institute, Lawrence, Kas, was the guest of Professor and Mrs. G. A. Curry last week. Dr. Meserve was accompanied by his wife. They both were returning from California, where they spent the major part of the winter. The visit brought up many pleasant recollections as Mrs. Curry is an alumnae of Shaw University and Professor Curry was head of the Greek and Latin departments before coming to Summer High School. The distinguished guests visited all departments in Summer High School and were very favorably impressed. The student body and teachers enjoyed the addresses given by them.

Kansas City, Kas., Apr. 8, 1920. To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that Dr. J. R. Ransom, formerly pastor of our church (First A. M. E., Kansas City, Kansas), and for sixteen years our presiding elder, is a most excellent man as prelate, organizer, church builder, debt payer and evangelist. Unselfishly and most successfully, has he given the best years of his very energetic life to the church. The First A. M. E. Church of Kansas City, Kansas, with its big hearted pastor and eleven hundred loyal members, whole heartedly and enthusiastically indorse Dr. J. R. Ransom for Episcopal honors before the general church, and especially do we recommend him to the general conference at St. Louis as worthy of being elected to the office of a bishop in the great A. M. E. Church. J. F. GRIFFIN, Pastor. SHELTON FRENCH, Sec. WILSON'S MISSILES. By Ona B. Wilson. A glorious time was spent in the seminary of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, Monday afternoon, April 26, 1920. The Ministers' Alliance of the two Kansas City met in a splendid service. They were welcomed with sincerity and pathos by Dean Edw. R.Vaughn; many interesting and valuable things were said. Among the speakers of the afternoon was the distinguished Judge Tyler of Los Angeles, California, and President Peck of W. U.; Dr. Griffin of the First A. M. E. Church, Kansas City, Kansas, gave a brief synopsis of the tour in the South by Judge Bradley and others. Interesting reports from the following pastors: Dr. W. T. Osborne of Ebenezer, Dr. Johnson of the M. E. Church, Rev. Johnson of a Mission Church in Kansas, Rev. Everett of Argentine, Rev. George Holler of St. Paul Mission, Kansas City, Mo.; Rev. N. C. Knight of Quindaro, Kas.; Rev. A. Murphy of St. Luke and Rev. Judkins of the City Mission.

You've heard of a green hill far away, A place we all may dwell some day; A kindly Shepherd there to guide, 'Mid pastures green, whate're betide. The Shepherd of this peaceful hill, Will gladly receive you—you pay no bill; Then brighten the corner where you are, That you may dwell on the hill afar. To the old-fashion church your mother went. While you was out, mere pleasure bent; She heard the worthy pastor say Come unto the Shepherd, "Go not astray." Why wander from the Shepherd's fold? He will protect you, so we are told; On the beautiful isles and hills they say, "Sweet peace" is yours in every way. There'll be shining stars, in your crown, When at evening the sun goeth down; The Master quite pleas'd—your duty fulfilled, With the omnipotent Shepherd of the Hill. DO YOU KNOW That C. H.

Don't miss it. School days are almost over. Have you made up your mind what you are going to do? In this great big world you must be prepared as never before to make your way. Down South where I have just visited, they are preparing to take up every avenue of life that is honorable and they are taught that they must start in at the bottom and work up in some Colored business establishment; and they are making good. We have pitied the South. The truth as I saw it is that the South should pity us, for they are as far advanced over us as the white race is over the Colored. The children are taught at home that the future of the young Negro boy and girl is at the bottom. The School and Church teach it. Up here they are not taught this at either place. Wake up, so-called North, and try to keep up with the South. All work is honorable, but when you start in a white man's business establishment, you start at the bottom and stay at the bottom. This article was written as a part of the things which we saw in the so-said "bad South." That southern training would do many of us much good. Think of good good that you want to be and you will succeed. With best wishes for your future thanking you for past and present patronage, I am ever, Yours truly, JEFF'S LUNCH, 1900 Vine Street.

A reporter for the Kansas City Sun, after interviewing more than a score of purchasers of cars from the Roberts Co., very fifty fitted the term, "It leads" to this firm. "In what does it lead?" you may ask. The Roberts Brokers lead in sales as never before in the history of Kansas City have so many members of the Race purchased cars and the majority of the sales have been made by this splendid and progressive company. The Roberts Brokers lead in handling the best cars. They also lead in satisfying the customer and his terms are always their terms. During the past week this firm delivered the following cars: To Mr. J. J. Allen, president World Wonder Oil & Gas Co., a Hudson, Six Phaeton. Mr. Allen says he looked at many, but the car he bought couldn't be excelled. To Dr. Seymour H. Hill, dentist, at 18th and Paseo, a 5-passenger Commonwealth touring car. Dr. Hill hasn't much time to ride, but says when he does so, he must ride in the best. To Dr. J. Ottoway Henley, physician, 1309 E. 18th street, a new Buck Coupe. Dr. Henley believes in "preparedness." To Mr. Thomas Whibby, mechanic, 2406 Highland avenue, a new Ford Sedan. Mr. Whibby being a mechanic knew what to buy. To Mr. Frederick Welton of Ottawa, Kansas, a Ford touring car. To Dr. Melford Brooks, 1509 East 18th Street, a new Ford Coupe. To Mr. Bush Wells, police officer and owner of a taxi stand on 12th St. an 8-cylinder Peerless 7-passenger touring car. These are all beautiful, new cars, well equipped and first class in every respect and the purchasers of one accord declare the Roberts Co. the most accommodating and painstaking firm with which they have transacted business. Call East 3172 and they will show you any make of car desired. You need not buy until you are satisfied. TO THE PUBLIC. The McDuffie Department Store, organized by Rev. S. Douglass McDuffie, summer of August, 1919, threw open its doors to the public the last Saturday in August. I make this annual report so that the citizens might see my clear and clean motive in perfecting these plans, there were about 100 subscribers to the store; a total of $650.00 was collected, the building was rented from Mr. A. T. Moore at $40.00 per month, the furniture and fixtures for the store were as follows: Shelving ... $ 49.50 Counter and showcases ... 50.00 Ice box ... 150.00 Meat block ... 37.50 Tools, knives and meat trays ... 25.00 Screen wire for meat dept. ... 12.50 Meat grinder ... 5.75 Cheese cutter ... 5.00 Stock of groceries ... 350.00 Store rent (in beginning) ... 40.00 Total ... $709.25 I deposited in the Gate City Na- GET YOUR PANAMA AND BLO HARRISON'S RELIANCE 716 Walnut DR. WM. AL SCIENTIFIC WATER MEDICATED VA [Name] Bell Phone C 1605 EAST 11TH ST. tional Bank $150.00 to the credit of the store. I left Kansas City August 30, 1919, for the South to resume our work in the evangelistic field; we left Mrs. J. Abernathy and Nathaniel Walls as managers of this store; Mrs. Abernathy did the very best she could to keep things in line, but not having the proper experience many things went wrong. I have not and will not hold the management of the McDuffie store responsible for its failures, but to exonerate myself in the estimation of the public I now render this report. It suffices me to report that out of the furniture and fixtures bills for the equipment of the store a total of $191.25 spent for furniture, I only owe $45.00, making everything in the store mine from the month of October 12th up to the present date, the store hasn't cleared one penny, but gets farther and farther in debt, hence at the resignation of Mrs. Abernathy, I employed Mr. William Walls to look after the business, authorizing him never to spend his own personal money, but make the profit run the store; if not, close the same; later I found the majority of stock was gone and nothing to replace it; hence I ordered the store closed until my return; the store has not been able to pay one bill, or one month's rent since its existence. I have paid out of my own personal earnings the telephone, lights, stocking the store after the fire, and the rent from August, 1919, to March 12, 1920, a total of $360.00 for rent only, to say nothing of telephone, lights, etc., money to restock store after the fire on my return from South December 15th, $175.00, money to H. D. Lee on credit account $100.00; money on furniture and fixtures $70.00. A grand total spent of my own personal earnings since December 15th, 1919, up to March 25th, 1920, are as follows: Rent of store (9 mos, $40 per).....$360 Purchase stocks Dec. 15, 1919.....175 Paid H. D. Lee for groceries, bought by managers ..... 100 Paid Mr. Smith on ice box ..... 75 In as much as I have spent this much out of my own earnings and know the stockholders are looking to me only for their money. I ordered the store closed that something might be there to represent my interest in the people as I am going to pay everybody when I get there, though all can easily see who has been affected. I render this report for the understanding and safety of all; the store belongs to me, as it was me who borrowed the money from the people and not my clerks. I send this report, secondly, because I am warning anybody from being persuaded to purchase stock in the store, as I have not given my clerk or manager any permission to purchase goods and attempt to sell it in a building, where I am paying rent; my stockholders are not looking to them, but to me, for their money. I have authorized that the store remain closed until I come or otherwise instructed any one attempting to buy stock or attempt to reopen the store will be doing so at their own risk. SIGNED REV. S.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE "Hobson City, Alabama, is the only town in the state that is out of debt and has money in the treasury."—American Missionary. In 1900 a board of Negroes obtained a charter and incorporated this town, which now, 20 years later, has four churches of 700 members, a good public school of 250 pupils, 12 progressive stores, a well built jail, waterworks, electric lights, police and health departments, and a governing board elected every two years, consisting of a mayor, seven councilmen and four other municipal officers, including a chief of police. Not a white man lives there. In the current Southern Workman Prof. Monroe N. Work has this to say under the caption: "InterRacial Co-Operation." "There are four important lines along which there should be inter-racial co-operation. These are the improvements of educational facilities, the betterment of health conditions, the improvement of farming and the establishment of more just relation between whites and Blacks." He states that Julius Rosenwald, who, by the way, along with our own William Volker, was one the largest contributors to the Paseo Y. M. C. A., has contributed for the promotion of Negro rural schools $311,955.37, and the Negroes in the districts where the schools were erected have paid $443,381.35 and the various states $354,032, and the white people $88,552.27. He shows how by more sanitary health conditions, the average Negro's life could be lengthened from the present 35 years to 50, thus doubling their working capacity and materially diminishing their $100,000,000 annual medical bill and making the beautiful South blossom more beautiful. The treatment of the Negroes in the South has compelled many to leave reluctantly with these words on their lips, "If I could get just treatment in the South I would be willing to remain there for lower wages than I receive in the North." He concludes that despite the increased and more violent lynchings, the general tendency of the times, however, and of the growing spirit of democracy is not reactionary, but progressive, toward a better understanding, a larger and more effective co-operation between the races; this, however, will take time." "The soul's armor is never well set to the heart unless a woman's heart has braced it, and it is only when she braces it loosely, that the honor of manhood fails."—Ruskins. We may add there is no power under heaven more effective for human weal than the Negro woman. One of the late illustrations of this is the achievement of Miss Julie E. Hunter, so nicely portrayed in the Southern Workman of the March number. She arrived in Cleveland six years ago with a capital of $1.75 to begin life among strangers. Today she is the founder and general manager of the Phillis Wheatly Home for Respectable and Self-Supporting Negro Girls. The plant is valued at $85,000 and houses 91 girls with only $14,000 debt. Miss Hunter is planning a hospital in connection with the home for the training of nurses. "Tuberculosis may be said to be one of the penalties paid by the human race for violating the laws of nature for the civilization of man, and the greatest toll is exacted of the newest convert." -H. G. Carter, M. D., superintendent of the Piedmont Sanatorium, Burkeville, Va. This sanatorium, for incipient or moderately advanced Negro tubercular patients, was opened April 22, 1918, on a point projecting into Norfolk harbor. It now has 80 beds, a medical superintendent and examiner, resident physician, head nurse and dietitian, all specially trained in tuberculosis. A training school is conducted for Negro nurses, specializing in tuberculosis, on the same footing as those trained at the white sanitarium at Catawba and to whom the certificate is given by the state board of health. The capacity of this school is ten students. Next to the work at Charlotteville, where an opportunity is offered to drill the students in diagnosis of tuberculosis, "I," says Dr. Thalifero at Catawba, "consider that at Piedmont there is the greatest opportunity to fight tuberculosis that is offered in the state." "Sanitarium treatment consists of rest, fresh air and food, the greatest of those being rest." Dr. Carter quotes from the Directory of Tuberculosis Sanatoria as follows: "The number of sanatoria and day camps of this country 529, beds 56,192, sanatoria, admitting Indians only 6, beds 415, sanatoria admitting Negroes only 4, beds 154 distributed as follows: N. Carolina 1, 30 beds private; W. Virginia 1, 24 beds; Delaware 1, 20 beds; Virginia 4, 80 beds; these beds are for treatment. We have 79 beds in Virginia for segregation, 10 in Alabama, 50 in Georgia, 7 in Kentucky, 3 in Louisiana, 45 in Maryland, and 20 in North Carolina. Our work under the superintendence of Dr. Wm. J. Thompson must be included with the New City Hospital, as no mention is made of it.

It was the greatest meeting of its kind ever held in the city, everybody who attended it went away singing praises for having been present. Wednesday night the Attucks School brought out a record-breaking crowd and their program was excellent. The 4th grade, taught by Miss Eva Moore; the 7th grade, by Miss Walton; the Kindergarten by Miss Webster and the reading by Miss Gerren showed that the Attucks School is in the hands of those who are on their job. Hurrah! for Prof. Harrison. Thursday night the Wendell Phillips School pulled off a great stunt. Misses Godfry, Bell, Smith, and Professor Cox were the stars of the occasion; you should have been there; that's all. Friday night Dr. W. E. Shaw gave one of his famous African lectures to a large and appreciative audience, also presented many interesting relics. Mrs. Goldie Moosley, Lula Madison, and Miss Edna Williams were the stars; were you there? Sunday was the crowning day. A great crowd attended the Sunday School; after a brief discussion of the lesson, Dr. L. W. Booker, one of the finest characters of the city, and is known to be one of the greatest physicians in this city, delivered the finest address we have listened to for a long time; he was master of ceremonies during the Congress—long live Dr. Booker. At 11 a. m. Pastor Dawson delivered the message to a large congregation which filled the church, to say that the sermon was inspiring and helpful is mildly stating it; four persons joined the church. At 6 p. m. the young people held a very interesting meeting. Prof. J. P. King, the silver-tongued orator of the Summer High School, Kansas City, Kas, delivered an instructive and inspiring lecture on the Book of Daniel. Many asked, is he a preacher? We will be glad to have him at any time to come back and talk to the boys and girls. At 1 p. m. Pastor Dawson reached the climax in the delivery of his sermons. Many shouts, Hallelujahs, and amens were in evidence Sunday night. Three united with the church, which made seven for the day; one was happily converted. Monday night was another record-breaking night. The Budding Genius Club appeared on the scene. My! My! My!! You should have witnessed this program; to see King Nebuchadnezer and his attendants and the three Hebrew children in the fiery furnace. The quartet by the ladies, the address by Mme. Beck and the reading by Mrs. Fleming, thus ended the greatest meeting of its kind ever held in Bethel. Pastor Dawson will preach SunJay morning and Sunday evening and will leave for the General Conference in St. Louis after service. You hear these sermons you will be benefited. You are always welcome to Bethel. We are looking for you. Service were good all day Sunday, Sunday School was all O. K. Supt. Woods is on the business for God and the Baptist.

The Lord's Supper was administered. We will celebrate our second anniversary on the third Sunday in May, at which time each member is requested to give one-tenth of their month's income which means $10 for each brother and $6 for each sister.

There were two additions to the church. The church has bought the lot by the side of their building, for which they paid spot cash; H. J. Kinsler was the real estate man. The minister, some of the 1 singers and ministers held services at the county Old Folks' Home in the afternoon. Sunday, May 2, at 9:30 a.m. Bible School; Mrs. M. A. Alphin, suppt.; 11 a.m. preaching, offering and communion; 6:30 p.m. C. E. conservation meeting, A. G. Nelson, leader; 7:30 p.m. preaching and offering. The pastor will speak at both services. The choir promises some special numbers. The Bible School and church will hold a joint service on Mother's Day. Cordial invitation to all to worship with us. WARD CHAPEL 1120 Woodland Avenue. 1120 Woodland Avenue. The services were well attended and Rev. Horsey used as his subject "The Christian Life, the Better Life," which was well explained with an excellent deliverance. One addition to the church. Collection was splendid. The Sunday School was well attended. The Missionary penny barrels netted quite a neat sum, and we highly appreciated the little one's efforts. The choir was as usual at its best and their songs inspired the hearers. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. A. U. Davis, president of the Allen Endeavor League, for his untiring efforts. It is indeed doing great work and needs the support of all. At night services a special sermon for the Missionary Society was preached by Rev. R. A. Adams; it was a soul-stirring sermon. Special services were rendered by the choir. Mrs. Adkins is slowly improving. The Junior and Senior Stewardess Boards entertained Tuesday and Saturday, respectively, with quite a success. Come and worship with us.

FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER A Sermon on Gladness All around us are folks badly in need of "glad" medicine There are the prim and crabbed and loveless aunts, who need but the glad heart to bring to the fore a heart fully as glad and loving. There are the rich, surly recluse-bachelors, who need but the persistent rays of affection's sunshine for the layers of ice about their hearts to melt away. There are the joyless and hopeless invalids, who need but the sunny eye and heart about them to reopen their own eyes and harris to the sunshine of life. There are the despondent preachers and teachers and employees, in whom eyes and hearts to joy of work and lif is extinguished, who need but the word of cheer, or encouragement, of appreciation, to make them fuller of work and life than they have ever been before. There are the craped and bowed and heavy-laden, to whom the sun of joy and gladness seems to have set forever, who need but to b shown how things might have been much worse, to see the sun arise anew with new hope and new cheer on its wings.

That Dr. Lambright has established an enviable reputation as a physician was demonstrated to the party of tourists who recently visited the South by the many inquiries made concerning him and all seemed pleased exceedingly to hear of the wonderful and continued success he is enjoying in the practice of his profession in this city. Dr. Lambright's office at 18th and Paseo is usually crowded and he has amply demonstrated that the Negro in need of a physician who can successfully treat his complaint need not go out of the Race to find one these days.

Relative to the new bank the daily Commercial Appeal had the following to say: NEW BANK BUILDING FOR BEALE AVENUE Structure Will Cost More Than Two Hundred Dollars Hundred thousand Dollars. The site for the first 10-story office building to be erected by Negroes on Beale Avenue has been purchased at South Third Street by A. F. Ward, cashier of the Fraternal Savings Bank & Trust Company. It will cost more than $200,000 and construction will start as soon as possession of the property is secured. Ward purchased the property from the Byrd estate for $50,000. On the ground is a two-story brick business house. It will be torn down as soon as the present occupant can be induced to give up his lease and a contract for the building will be let immediately thereafter. It will be completed next fall. It is announced by those financially interested in the new building that this is the first time in the history of the South Colored business men have made such a venture. It will be constructed of steel, concrete, brick and stone and will contain all modern devices usually placed in an office building. The entire lower floor of the building will be occupied by the Fraternal Savings Bank & Trust Company. The upper floors will be leased to tenants. Plans for the new building will be made as soon as an architect can be engaged. Ward said last night the financial arrangements to pay for the building had been agreed upon and that its construction was a certainty. The Fraternal Savings Bank and Trust Company has grown considerably of late, according to Ward. Its deposits are now near the 500,000 mark and its business has broadened until it numbers among its customers some of the most substantial 'Colored people of Memphis and adjoining towns. At 8:45, accompanied by a large delegation of Memphis' most distinguished ladies and gentlemen, we left the banquet table for the Union Station, where we boarded our special car for the next stop, Birmingham, Ala., of which we will speak in our next issue. All in all Memphis is one of the greatest and most progressive cities visited by our delegation on the entire trip. In the laying season hen's eggs are of almost priceless value for the same reason that so many other things are dear—somebody needs the money, or thinks he does. Fencing off Mexico from the United States is suggested. Though that is what is usually done with undesirable neighbors, there is no disposition in this case to build a "spite fence."

There was a generous response to the last article appearing in The Kansas City Sun on this new, but timely venture to organize a $100,000 Liberian Investment Company. Not sufficient, however, to guarantee its immediate organization, but I am hopeful that after careful consideration of the many readers of the Sun, it will be done. The Negro of America stands convicted before the world as a people void of feelings towards his own Race—shall that opinion stand? The world is watching you and when you finance a stock company to help develop Liberia, the world will have a greater respect for the Negro in America. [Name] The officers of this company will be men above reproach and with a keen sense of Race and business pride. We have no great captains of industry—they are now in the making. The first move after this company is formed and incorporated will be to send a representative to Liberia to look the field over and report its findings to the people. I hope to be that representative and I expect to patronize the Black Star Line, a Negro transportation company carrying merchandise and passengers between this country and the western coast of Africa; from what I already know of the great opportunities awaiting us in Liberia, I feel sure that within 18 months after I return and the company starts on its way, substantial dividends will be declared. If that portion of the human race which I belong to, whether in Africa, Europe or America, can advance there is a chance for me; but as long as there remains millions of uncivilized Black people in Africa, Black people the world over will feel the stigma. An American Indian in Europe is still an American Indian; an African in America is still an African. You cannot get around it, even though you have been here for a long time; it is our duty, no doubt, to strive to attain every right or privilege due an American, but it is unwise, I think, to forget that America was founded by white men for white men, all other races are mere subjects. Read American history and you will find this glaring truth, emphasized on every page. The Negro in America is a sleeping giant, unaware of his own terrific strength, fleeced by something he does not understand—a phantom of the dark, as it were, that is sapping his life and happiness. This will continue unless you change—change in the habits and modes of thought that have been forced into your mentality and which now enslaves you. Race must study tactics of dominant race, especially the thrifty, merge our wealth together by forming corporations that will take the dollars of the people and set them to work in basic industries, and then give these people back all their dollars earned, less only actual running expenses. The white boys of this country who are fortunate enough to go through school have an elevating position awaiting; our boys must take the job of waiting table, shining shoes or some other job which does not contribute to his manhood. I shall never feel right until this condition is improved. In backing stock companies of this kind you are making a place for your son. If this Liberian Investment Company can be organized by popular subscription it will mean also the birth of many companies that are badly needed, then we can joyfully say a new era has ushered in, the dawn of a brighter day for the Negro has burst forth with all of its glory, giving a new birth to an oppressed people. Write today, stating that you will when the company is organized, subscribe for shares. Don't put it off, your reply may be the life of the project; do it now. It is your cause, your fight; you can do for yourself and posterity what your foreparents could not do for themselves or you. If it is a sacrifice for you to subscribe for shares in this company—make it. No one ever made a sacrifice for a good cause without receiving a just reward. The par value of shares is one dollar, but the least we shall sell in the formation of company is ten shares to an individual. Get in on the ground floor; if you ponder too long they may be all taken up. Write to: Rucker Smith, 1403 Walnut Street, Kansas City, Mo.

Last year alone the membership of this progressive and growing institution was augmented by one thousand and it is confidently expected to exceed this number in the present year. This is clearly indicated by the fact that between seventy-five and one hundred applications are now pouring into the home office at St. Louis every week. When a retrospect is taken through nineteen years to the time when Mr. Lloyd was elected Grand Chancellor in this city at 1734 Grand avenue, the above figures denote a most wonderful progress indeed. Little Acorn Becomes Gigantic Oak. In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and eighty-three, Pride of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd. the West Lodge was organized and for the next eighteen years it was a struggle and a hard road for Pythianism. This was revealed by the fact that up to 1901 the membership was about 560 for the entire jurisdiction, held in sixteen lodges, six of which were in St. Louis and one in Kansas City. Lilly Lodge No. 8, which is the oldest Kansas City subordinate had a membership of about sixteen at that time. Today St. Louis has twenty-one lodges with a membership of over two thousand and Kansas City twelve lodges with a membership of over fifteen hundred, while the lodges in the state combined with those in the two metropolitan just mentioned embrace a membership of approximately 8,800. Our Auxiliaries. As spendid as the foregoing stories, it doesn't half spell the progress or portray the spirit of this splendid institution. The Court of Calanthe composed of the sisterhood of the Order has done so much to give it strength and inspiration that it is absolutely impossible to think of the organization without including these as an integral part. The Grand Court for the past ten years so ably presided over by Mrs. Bertha T. Buckner ranks among the strongest in the country and gives splendid evidence every day of its future prosperity and greatness, and equally as important in this connection is that of our splendid military department which has been under the guiding genius and direction of General Wm. H. Butler of St. Louis, for the past ten or twelve years. Gen. Butler has put Missouri on the map in the military department in a most pronounced and emphatic manner. Missouri's military bands and uniform department plays a conspicuous part in every city where the Supreme Lodge and Supreme Encampment meets. Grand Session in Kansas City in July 27th to 31st. Kansas City, just now from a Pythian standpoint is warming up to a white heat. The Grand Lodge, the Grand Court and the Uniform Department will all hold their annual session in Kansas City, beginning July 26th, and extending up to the 31st. Great preparations are being made by the lodges, courts and companies to entertain the visiting fraters and sisters at the coming session. As is characteristic of Kansas City Pythians nothing will be left undone either for the convenience or entertainment of the visitors to make the coming session enjoyable, beneficial and uplifting. The Grand Encampment. During the past year the military department has enjoyed an unusual growth and many companies all over the state have been organized. About one month ago General Butler was in Kansas City and organized Perseverance Lance Co. "I." An unusual attraction this year at the Grand session will be the grand encampment which will go into camp on the 26th and will day until the close of the session give exhibitions of that military prowess and genius for which this organization has become especially famous. The session this year promises to be the greatest in the history of the organization and from the interest already awakened all over the state, will bring thousands of visitors to Kansas City. Merchants, business men, professional men and citizens of Kansas City, who are famous for hospitality are preparing to receive them and give them a royal welcome when they come. A DELIGHTFUL BANQUET A most delightful and enjoyable banquet was tendered Prof. J. R. E. Lee, principal of Lincoln High School, by "his boys" as the bunch of men who accompanied him on the Southern tour delight to call themselves (although several are older than Mr. Lee), at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. last Saturday night at 9 o'clock. The party that accompanied Mr. Lee is as follows: Dr. E. C. Bunch, dentist; Mr. C. H. Calloway, attorney; Mr. N. C. Crews, editor Kansas City Sun; Mr. L. S. Jefferson, lunch room; Dr. H. M. Smith, physician, superintendent County Home; Mr. H. L. Kinsler, real estate; Mr. T. B. Watkins, undertaker; Dr. T. A. Jones, physician; Dr. S. H. Thompson, physician, superintendent Douglass Hospital; Dr. D. M. Miller, physician; Mr. J. D. Bowser, real estate; Mr. N. D. Brascher, editor-in-chief Associated Press, Chicago; Dr. E. B. Ramsey, physician; Mr. S. R. Hopkins, real estate; Rev. J. W. Hurse, minister; Dr. J. E. Perry, physician, superintendent Wheatley-Provident Hospital; Mr. F. A. Harris, Y. M. C. A. secretary; Mr. Martin Young, barber shop, cafe; Mr. H. B. Moore, undertaker; Dr. J. H. Williams, physician; Judge J. F. Bradley, attorney; Rev. C. C. Calloway, minister; Mr. James E. Miller, photographer; Mr. George McClelland, real estate; Mr. Willis Allen, druggist; Mr. A. J. Neely, supervisor of public schools, Kansas City, Kas; Mr. J. R. E. Lee. While a most delightful menu was being served brief, witty, interesting talks were made by the various members of the delegation and a toast in pure-cold-Missouri River water was drunk to Mr. N. D. Brascher, of the Associated Negro Press of Chicago, who was unable to be present, but whom all agreed was one of the jolliest and most entertaining members of the party and who kept the bunch full of pop and good cheer with his laconic "he's a good boy, but a poor boy," throughout the entire trip. At the conclusion of the banquet, Mr. Lee was presented on behalf of the delegation by Editor Crews with a beautiful engraved silver headed cane to which he replied in the most feeling and carnest manner. The banquet board was graced by the wives and lady friends of the delegation and the program lasted until the wee small hours when all left for home declaring Mr. Lee the most valuable man that has been added to the Race in this community in recent years.

Mrs. Helen Campbell, 71 years of age, died after a long illness at the residence of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Melford, 2303 Vine street, last Sunday and the body was taken Thursday to St. Louis, Mo., for burial. Mrs. Campbell lived here for several years, then going to Maryville, Mo., where she made her home for about seven years with some of her children who lived there, returning here sometime ago to make her home with her son-in-law and daughter. She leaves five children—Mrs. Lillie Melford, at whose home she died; Mrs. Elizabeth Vance of Omaha, Neb.; Mrs. Katie Baker and William Campbell of Maryville, Mo.; and Samuel Campbell of St. Louis. She was for many years a member of the A. M. E. Church and her funeral was held from her old church, Jones' Chapel, St. Louis, Mo. If Arthur Brisbane, the eminent editor of metropolitan dailies, is quoted correctly in his declaration, "Frederick Douglass was too white to have his name added to the Hall of Fame list as a Negro," one is reminded of the Son of Erin who, hearing Douglass deliver one of his Philippines exclaimed: "An' you sa he half Nagur; faith, what would he have done if he had been a whole Nagur?" Mr. Brisbane may be too young to know that Mr. Douglass was born a slave, that his speeches that charmed as well as convinced, were those of a Negro (whose diplomas were scars on his back) against Negro slavery and proscriptions, that after emancipation he was subjected to all the indignities that members of the Race of his father delight to heap upon the defenseless people of the Race of his mother.

Who is proving an indispensable fac tor in the social and civic life of the Colored people of the two Kansas Cities. Two Pictures by Contrast of the South By J. Dallas Bowser. I have already written of certain odious Jim Crow discriminations observed on the recent Southern tour by our party of twenty-seven business and professional men of Greater Kansas City; separate ticket windows and waiting rooms for Colored persons in railway stations; Colored persons forbidden in parks; separate cars on the streets and railroads; exclusion of Colored persons from public libraries, and in not 1 of the 10 large cities we visited did we see a Negro policeman. We learned, as has every intelligent reader by this time, of the sentence of six months in jail and a fine of $200.00 of E. R. Franklin of Jackson, Miss., for selling the Crisis magazine as a result of a law passed by that city to stop the circulation of papers charged with agitating social equality. As a rule, we found the schoolhouses provided for Colored children a disgrace to modern civilization, the teachers paid starvation wages and the school terms shorter, all as compared with the whites. I shall speak of some noted exceptions in future articles. Discriminations against Negro laborers were equally in evidence. In a certain industry where two thousand Negroes are employed, their wages as compared to white working men follow: In Class A, skilled labor where Colored men receive $4.50, white men are paid $7.50 per day; $27.00 per week to Colored and $45.00 to whites; in class B, unskilled labor, the pay for Colored men averages $3.75 per day and for whites $7.00, or $22.50 per week and $42.00, respectively. In the mines, skilled Colored pit men receive 42c per hour as foremen, while white foremen are paid 25c for the same work. As a result of these discriminations, and other humiliations and outrages, caravans of Colored people are in constant-pilgrimage to Northern cities and farms. As long as a laborer in the South, on a plantation receives only $1.00 to $2.00 per day, learns that in the North he can get $3.00 to $5.00 a day, he will naturally desire to go where the largest pay can be obtained. The Tennessee Coal and Iron Company at Birmingham, Ala., has adopted a more humane plan to protect their plant from scarcity of labor and for the fair treatment of its laborers in all respects. For the proper nousing of its 3,500 Negro laborers, it has erected seven hundred three to four or more room cottages, neat as to pattern and up-to-date as to appointments, for which only a nominal rent is charged, sufficient to cover repairs and interest upon the investment. Tennis courts, playgrounds and parks for ball games and public drills are provided. Model school houses and efficient, well paid teachers are employed and in addition a public auditorium. It was at the Million Dollar Hospital of this company that a square deal in equity for both races was one of the most charming scenes in our journey through the South. Here was a building large, commodious, located A group of Lincoln High School Girls in the great Physical Training Exhibition at Convention Hall next Friday night, May 7. ON THE WING. on a commanding elevation that took in the surrounding country with a spacious hallway dividing it into two equal parts; the one side for whites, the other for Colored patients, each half absolutely equally fitted as to furniture, pictures, beds, operating rooms and the like and attending nurses and in training all Colored women. It only needed the addition of Negro physicians and surgeons to assist the white physicians which in the near future will doubtless be an added feature of this hospital to make it one of the most complete institutions for afflicted humanity in all our land. This company treated our traveling group to a barbecue feast on its picnic grounds provided for its workmen.

How much should I give to make this a better world? ACERTAIN man in New York filled out his income tax report. It showed an income so large that his tax was 53%. And his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $148. Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Interchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort. And they come to the men or women who love America to you—this week asking you to use them as the channel through which a certain definite part of your income can be applied to make this a better world. Only you can determine what part of your income that should be. It's a good time right now to answer that question.
