All Tulsa For The Detention Home at Ball Park Today! A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING School For Negro Boys is Part of Penitentiary! Christopher Columbus Company No. 1, K. of P. Uniform Rank Okla. City, which won first prize in drilling contest during the Grand Lodge here last week. Vol. 3. No 36 Governor Williams Violating His Promise By Allowing A Reform Institution to Be Built Under Wing of State Prison. The Tulsa Star is in possession of information that the school for Incorrigible Negro Boys, established by the last legislature, is to be located directly under the state penitentiary at McAlester and be under the supervision of the warden of that institution. The editor of the Star visited the prison at McAlestr early in this month and the building was pointed out to him as the proposed reformatory. The workmen are now busy on the construction of the building, and to the visitors it appears to be a part of the penitentiary, which it will be if the prsent plans of the state board of affairs are carried out. It will be remembered that the original plan was to locate this institution on the Langston University grounds, and the Star opposed it because the best people of the state demanded that the penal institution be located away from the leading educational institution of the state. After a hard fight the location was changed to McAlester, and Governor Williams promised that it would be at least two miles from the state prison. However, this promise has been ignored and another outrage is to be perpetrated against the Colored people of this state. As we see it, this is simply a case of juggling public funds to the advantage of a few administration pets. Fifteen thousand dollars appropriated by the last legislature to equip buildings and run the institution two years, and the governor gave his word that it would not be located nearer than two miles to "Dick's House." However, long before the day the bill creating the school became a law and the money available, Warden Dick had put his prisoners to work erecting directly under the west wing of the penitentiary a building to be used as a school for delinquent Negro boys. Thus the $15,000 will pass the hands of Warden Dick, who will use it as he sees fit. This arrangement will doubtless meet the disgust and disapproval of every self-respecting Negro in the state. The administration will probably defend their action in this matter by pleading "culling expenses, saving the tax-payers, etc." but this defense will not blind the intelligent public to the facts in the case. No defense will excuse the placing of youthful offenders under the influence of hardened criminals. The environments surrounding an institution intended to reform and instruct the youthful offenders, and to prepare them for honorable citizenship should be far removed from that of a penitentiary. This is a rank injustice, which will not be forgotten by the Colored people of Oklahoma. No other state in the union has ever placed a training school for delinquent boys even in the same town where the penitentiary is located. We would suggest that Governor Williams and the board of affairs incarcerate delinquent ON THE RETREAT FROM GALICIA Siberian infantry marching back from the trenches near Lemberg after vainly attempting to check the Austro-German advance. At the right are Russian officers at a post on the Dniester watching the progress of their enemies. Negro boys in the state penitentiary and thus save the taxpayers the money appropriated for the purpose and haunt the pretense of building a training school for delinquent Negro boys. The boys who are sent to this place will feel that they are virtually in the penitentiary, as in fact they will be, except, for the time, they will not be under the same roof with the state prison inmates. All Together Detention Home EVERYBODY WANTED AT THE GAMES THIS AFTERNOON next Saturday for the sole benefit of the detention home, and will derive no benefit out of it for the club. The musician's union will donate the services of a band to head the parade. The rotarians will march as will the Oklahoma City and Tulsa baseball clubs, which are the contests in the afternoon's game, which will start at 3 o'clock. The benefit tickets that the young women sell today will cost $1 each. If the governor and the state board of affairs desired to save money for the state and at the same time do the right thing for the wayward Negro boys of the state why did they not build an addition to the whitt reform school or reformatory for Negro boys? The training school for whites is located at Pauls Valley and the reformatory for whites is located at Granite. Thus the institution for training delaquent white boys is off to itself, not even in the same county as the reformatory, and both of these institutions are located at a good safe distance from the penitentiary. But the trainin school for Negro boys is jammed up under the walls of the penitentiary. This is a shameful outrage which should be frowned upon an ddenounced by every good citizen of the state. There is not a white man or woman in the state who would approve of locating a training school for white boys anywhere near the state penitentiary. Will the Negroes of Oklahoma stand for this outrage without at least a protest? TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1915 All Together Detention Home EVERYBODY WANTED AT THE GAMES THIS AFTERNOON Get Tagged and get in the Games—A Half Holiday Declared By The Mayor. Mayor Wooden has declared a half holiday for this after noon in order that everybody may attend the double header ball game at the Association Ball Park for the benefit of the Detention Home. All week pretty girls have been selling tickets for the games, which will doubtless be two of the best games ever played in Tulsa. The first game will be between the league teams of Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and the second game will be between the Colored teams of Oklahoma City and Tulsa. The Rotary Club Wednesday decided to take part in the parade Saturday afternoon at 230 o'clock. They will wear their grotesque head pieces and their rotary buttons, and will be out in force. It will be their first public appearance. The rotary club is composed of one man from each profession and line of business in the city, and are restoring the benefit game next Saturday for the sole benefit of the detention home, and will derive no benefit out of it for the club. The musician's union will donate the services of a band to head the parade. The rotarians will march as will the Oklahoma City and Tulsa baseball clubs, which are the contestants in the afternoon's game, which will start at 3 o'clock. The benefit tickets that the young women sell today will cost $1 each and will entitle the bearer to the grounds and a seat in the grandstand. The usual prices will prevail at the ball park box office Saturday afternoon, and a portion of the netre receipts will be given to the Rotary club for the use of the detention home. Wedding Bells For Brown Wedding Bells For Brown A quiet home wedding was performed Monday afternoon by Rev. W. L. Brewer, pastor of the C. M. E. church of this city, at the home of lawyer and Mrs. G. W. Hutchins, on N. Frankfort. Curtis B. Brown age 24 and Miss Ailee Hutchins, age 23 were the contracting parties. The little affair was secretly planned and executed, the SENATOR OWEN ENCOURAGES NEGRO STATE FAIR friends of both parties knowing nothing of it until after the ceremony. When the news was circulated Monday night that the two had married a searching party toured the East End in a fruitless attempt to locate them, but assisted by the mother of the bride and a trusty cabman the happy couple succeede dn alluding the pursuers. Brown is an employee of the Tulsa Hotel. He came here about a year ago from Menden, La. It is now rumored that a certain of flier will step off next week with the Beauty Parlor girl. Page Wins Out The State Board of Affairs last week reappointed Prof. I. E. Page head of the C. A. and N. University at Langston, following a long fight against Page which for a time it seemed would unseat him. Mr. Page is founder of the Langston University and has been superintendent of the institution for about 18 years. The administration claims that the farm has been neglected under Page's administration, but they recognized in him a good school man and for this reason appointed him, with the understanding that he must give more attention to the agricultural features in the future. ARE DISSATISFIED WITH APPOINTMENT General Opinion is Allen Will Encoun ter Difficulties Before This Term Ends. Among the leading Democrats of Tulsa and Muskogee the action of President Wilson and the Secretary of the interior in putting through the reappointment of R. C. Allen as Creek national attorney is causing a widespread dissatisfaction. Not only was Allen's reappointment made over the objections of the principal chief of the Creeks, Moty Tiger, but it was made without the endorsement of the Oklahoma delegation in congress, and without the sanction of the Oklahoma senators, while Allen was actually opposed by Congressman Jim Davenport and W. W. Hastings of Tahlequah. In Tulsa last night it was said there would be much more in the case to come, and indications are that it will be renovated on the floor of congress at its next sitting. The opinion of those who opposed Allen's reappointment has not changed, and it is expected here that the judge will have a much harder struggle to "get by" than gaining the sanction of his job at the hands of the secretary of the interior and President Wilson. Sentiary! IN ENCOURAGES STATE FAIR Senator Robert L. Owen Writes a Letter Encouraging Negro Independent State Fair. Replying to an invitation etended him by the Negro Independent Statt Fair Association of this city to address them on one of the days during the fair to be given here during the second week in Septtember, 1915, the nHo. Robert L. Owen, United States Senator, writes: UNITED STATES' SENATE. Committee on Banking and Currency. Muskogee, Okla., July 17, 1915. "Dear Sirs: I think the idea of the fair is a good one and I give it my approval. The welfare and peace of the Negro race depends upon peaceful industry intelligently directed, and this fair will be of great value in helping them to understand the problem of making value out of the ground and out of various forms of industry. I wish you Godspeed in the work. If I am in the city at the time I will eb glad to make an address to your people, as I am deeply interested in the welfare and peace of the Negro people. I believe that they, too, are God's children, and I wish them well. Yours respectfully, ROBERT L. OWEN. The arrangements for this Negro Independent State Fair here is being worked out energetically and hundred of Negro farmers, stockmen, mechanics and experts on sanitation and agriculture from the state and federal governments are to be invited to attend and deliver instructive lectures. Guthrie Man May Get Job I. F. Scott Said To Be Man Slated For Superintendent Of Training School For Negro Boys According to reports recorded at the Star office the State Board of Affairs have promised to appoint I. F. Scott of Guthrie superintendent of the Training School for Delinquent Negro Boys at McAlester. Scott is a son-in-law of I. E. Saddler, a lawyer of Guthrie, and for a number of years was employed in the city schools in that place. A score of Colored men had applied for the place but it seems that Scott had succeeded in landing the plum over all others. The school which is virtually a part of the penitentiary, will open some time this fall. PAGE TWO War's Toll To Date IRON RING CLOSING ON WARSAW VON HINDENBERG CONTINUES VICTORIOUS DRIVE. Germans Plan One More Big Battle In the East Before Resuming Western Offensive. London—The Austro-German armies which now appear to be working in perfect concert as the result of the German organization, are giving the Russians little rest or time to reorganize themselves after their retreat from Galicia. Simultaneously with the German effort to reach Warsaw or the Russian lines serving that fortress from the north, the Austrians have attacked along the Dniester and have succeeded in crossing that river at several points. General Von Mackenzenen's army which doubtless had been waiting for Field Marshal Von Hindenburg to move in the north also has come to life again and fighting has been resumed in southern Poland. There is fighting of more or less severity all along the Russian front except in central Poland, where the Russians are in such strong positions that in the opinion of military men, it would be impossible to break through. The Germans claim to have made further progress with their northern operations, but with the Russians retiring it is not likely that the main forces have clashed as yet. The combined operations are the most gigantic undertaken, the aim being, according to military experts, to squeeze the Russians out of Warsaw and the great slice of country which they hold to the north, south and east of that city. So long as this effort to crush Russia or to break her power of offensive continues there is little possibility, military writers say, of the Germans attempting any important movement in the west, for it is believed that the Austro-Germans will for a long while require all their available troops in the east. Four German army corps composed of Pomeranians and men from Schleswig are said to have left Thorn to reinforce General Von Hindenburg. The German crown prince's offensive in the Argonne in the opinion of military experts was to weaken the French hold on Verdun. A German official statement claims that one result of this offensive was the capture of 7,000 French soldiers in three weeks. On the other hand the French claim to have gained the most of the ground they had been forced to give up and which they stated did not exceed 400 yards. British reports described the effort of the crown prince as a costly and partially successful advance followed by a counter-offensive which detly checked his progress. Fighting is in progress on the Lorraine frontier and in Artois, where the French continue their attempt to capture Souchez. Further progress is unofficially reported from Athens to have been made by the allies on the Gallipoli peninsula in the Dardanelles campaign and as the Athens dispatches are generally ahead of the official reports, this statement is credited here. More important is that the news that Roumania has declined to accede to Germany's demand that Roumania allow munitions to pass through that country for Turkey. The entente allies announce another victory in Africa where they captured Ngaudere, an important trading center of Kamerun, a German colony in western equatorial Africa. Novel War Disguise. New York—The British cruiser which stands guard at sea several miles from the New York harbor to prevent the departure of German merchant vessels, is wearing a novel war disguise. The cruiser's starboard side is painted in ordinary dull gray-war color, while silvery white paint on her port side makes her appear to have a clipper bow and a band of white along the upper part of her hull and on ehr port quarters makes her seem much smaller than she really is. Screens hide her funnels. SUBMARINES MISS ORDUNA PASSENGER VESSEL SUCCEEDS IN RUNNING AWAY FROM GERMAN CRAFT. 24 AMERICANS WERE ON BOARD Vessel Was Sailing Westward, Unarmed, and Carried No Munitions of War—Report on the Lusitania Case. Washington—The British steamer Orduna, only recently put into commission by the Cunard line, was attacked July 19 by a German submarine while bound from Liverpool to New York with 227 passengers, including twenty-two Americans. The captain of the Orduna in his official report on the attack says: "Not the least warning was given and nearly all the pssengers were sleep at the time." A torpedo missed the liner by only ten feet and seven shells were fired at her during a half hour's chase. The report of the Orduna's captain is confirmed by many of the passengers and a protest will be made to the United States government by at least one American citizen who was among those whose lives were endangered. William O. Thompson of Chicago, counsel to the federal industrial relations commission, has announced his protest to Washington will be a vigorous one. He too declares the Orduna was "attacked without warning, pursued and subjected to shell fire." The attack on the Orduna has aroused intense interest at Washington, where the opinion is expressed by officials that this incident must receive serious consideration in connection with the next step which the American government must take with respect to German submarines and the rights of Americans on the seas. The vessel was unarmed, and sailing westward, hence carried no munitions of any sort. The Lusitania Report. London.—"Torpedoes fired by a submarine of German nationality" caused the loss of the steamship Lusitania and its passengers, according to the findings of the court of inquiry appointed to investigate the disaster. The court held that no blame for the tragedy attached either to Captain Turner, commander of the vessel, or the Cunard line, the owners. "After having inquired carefully into the circumstances of the disaster," says the formal report, "the court finds the loss of said ship and lives was due to damage caused the ship by torpedoes fired by a submarine of German nationality. "In the opinion of the court, the act was done not merely with the intention of sinking the ship but with the intention of destroying the lives of the people on board." Other salient features of the report are that the lifeboat and lifebelt facilities were adequate; that the demeanor of the crew was above blame; that the conduct of the passengers, barring a slight panic when the steerage passengers came on deck, was praiseworthy; that the ship was unarmed, and that her cargo was a general one, the ammunition on board consisting only of 5,000 cases of cartridges, from which there was no explosion. PRISONER ATTACKS LEO FRANK Attempt to Murder Celebrated Georgia Convict. Milledgeville, Ga.—Leo M. Frank lies in the Georgia state prison hospital with what attendants said is a fighting chance for recovery. Physicians have succeeded in stopping the flow of blood from a jagged wound in his throat made with an improvised knife in the hands of William Creen, a fellow convict, also serving a life term for murder. The blow was struck as Frank slept in his bunk. This latest and most spectacular phase of the two-year fight for Frank's life will be the subject of an investigation by the Georgia prison commission, the same body that refused to recommend that Frank's death sentence for the murder of Mary Phagan be commuted to life imprisonment. Reports from Atlanta were that Governor Harris intimated he would start such an investigation at once to ascertain if Green acted entirely of his own volition. Severe Storms In Central West Kansas City.—Two hours after the Missouri and Kansas rivers ceased rising here with the passing of the flood crest due to heavy rains last week, a terrific rain and windstorm which swept eastern Kansas, western Missouri and southern Nebraska renewed fears of a disastrous flood. The local government weather bureau issued a general warning to the inhabitants and business firms in the bottoms of Kansas City that another seislous rise might be expected. THE TULSA STAR WINS HIS NINE YEARS' FIGHT Copyright: Underwood & Underwood Harry Thaw, who killed Stanford White nine years ago, who at last has gained his liberty. THAW AT LAST IS A FREE MAN NEW YORK JURY DECIDES THAT HE IS SANE. State Takes Appeal But Meantime He Is at Liberty Under New York.—Harry Kendall Thaw was declared sane by a New York jury which for nearly three weeks listened to testimony given in the supreme court here before Justice Peter Hendrick. Forty-eight minutes were consumed and two ballots taken in reaching a verdict. Justice Hendrick announced the commitment upon which Thaw was incarcerated in the state hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan was vacated, thereby giving to the slayer of Stanford White the liberty for which he has fought in the courts for nine years. When the verdict was announced Thaw who sat at the counsel table with his chin resting in a handkerchief had turned around and grasped the hands of his counsel. Then he went to his mother and throwing his arms about her neck kissed her twice. Mrs. Thaw at the same time patted her daughter, Mrs. Geo L. Carnegie, Thaw. The state at once announced an appeal, pending which. Thaw was released on $40,000 bond. PIUTE NOT CUILTY OF MURDER Tse-Ne-Gat Acquitted by Jury of Killing Mexican Sheep Herder. Denver.—Tse-Ne-Gat, Plute Indian, was found not guilty of a murder charge by a jury in the United States district court. Tse-Ne-Gat had been accused of murdering Juan Chacon, a Mexican sheep herder in southwestern Colorado. The trial was the culmination of a series of events which attracted wide attention last February. One deputy and several Indians were killed in attempts to arrest Tse-Ne-Gat and the word went out that Utes and Plutes alike were preparing for an old fashioned uprising. The department of the interior sent a special agent to investigate the need for troops and Hugh L. Scott, major general and chief of staff of the army, started from Washington to try his powers of persuasion on the red men. General Scott drove through blizzards 260 miles in auckboard, went unarmed into the Indian camp and persuaded them to surrender. He said after returning to civilization that the only promise he had given the Indians was that Tse-Ne-Gat would be given a fair trial. He said, also, that the Indians had resisted the marshal because they feared the youth would be turned over to a vigilance committee. Tse-Ne-Gat testified in his own behalf, saying "I could not kill my friend," and other Indians told of overhearing a plot by certain Indians and half-breeds to get Tse-Ne-Gat hung. Big Strike At Remington Plant. Bridgeport, Cohn.—Negotiations to bring about a settlement of the difficulties between the machinists of Bridgeport and the Remington Arms and Ammunition Company engaged on a gigantic scale in the manufacture of war munitions for the allied armists have failed. The first of the machinists have thrown down their tools. They claim that within a week all work in the Remington shops and in the shops of sub-contractors would be at a standstill. Bond. AFRO-AMERICA AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS E. Julius Williams writes in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald as follows: "In the message sent out by the governor of our great state, he said, 'Let us save the white boy and girl by stamping out ignorance.' Did he mean that we infer that he meant, to not overlook the fact that their salvation depended largely upon the extent of consideration given 400,000 Negroes of school age in this state? "Two races cannot live in the same state, under the same law, enjoying the same pursuits of happiness and life, if one race interests are advanced at the sacrifice of the other. "Our state superintendent of education has not as yet found time to say much in behalf of the Negro children." "When we think of it, we are not pleasantly reminded; the education of my people started at the head but not at the foot, because it is at the bottom of life's ladder one must begin life's journey. We were first taught to make a living, when our first lesson should have been to make a life." Here is the remarkably practical and workable suggestion of this man who so feelingly writes of his race. This matter should come to the attention of every man, woman and child in the state: "If in every home where my people are employed as servants they are given one-half hour—even a quarter of an hour—each day by the third or fourth grade child in that home teaching these servants to spell, read and write their own names, what a great school we would have through this medium for the Negro, and how much it would mean to your children. Many of the cooks live in the yard and not a few have children. In splite of all you do, your children will learn from them by association. "What is true of your cook and children is true of your washerwoman and children, nurse and children, your driver and children, and even the men, women and children of my race that pass your home. Your children going on the street to and fro from school in this way form habits through observation. "Will it pay? Will it be worth while striking out ignorance among the 400,000 in our state? "We need more laws of human kindness and less laws of civil punishment." We cannot but realize the justice of this man's plea; we know when the Negro woman has been properly educated, as is being done in a comparatively small way by the institutions of learning for the Negro in this state; the tired mother may not be subjected to the diet of underdone or overdone food, the child will not so often be the victim, of disease and careless nursing, through the companionship of an ignorant nurse maid. Because the South still considers the Negro in the light of a domestic necessity, the occupation of house servant becomes their vocation. If we desire efficiency in our Negro help we must at least grant them education along the lines of work they have been placed in. Fire losses and the expense of fire prevention cost the United States more each year than the total value of its production of gold, silver, copper and petroleum. The fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the Negro Business league, of which Booker T. Washington is president, will be celebrated in Boston August 18 to 20. The organization was formed for the discussion and solution of business and economic problems peculiar to the Negro race. The coming sessions will be devoted to a consideration of the progress made since 1900 and to practical suggestions for new business methods and for general co-operation. According to figures compiled by the league, since 1900 the number of Negro business enterprises in the country has increased from 20,000 to 45,000; the number of Negro banks from 2 to 51; the number of drug stores from 250 to 695; Negro-owned undertaking establishments from 450 to 1,000; wholesale businesses from 149 to 240; retail stores from 10,000 to 25,000. Since the organization of the league, as revealed by the federal census for 1910, farm property owned by Negroes has increased 177 per cent in value—from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. The value of domestic The list of the British and Foreign Bible society at the present time includes versions in 456 tongues—the complete Bible in 112 languages, the New Testament in 111 more, and at least one book of Scripture in 233 other languages. Many public bequests are contained in the will of William H. Swasey of Newburyport, which was filed at Salem. Among them is one of $10,000 to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial school. The fact brought out by Dr. William C. Woodward, health officer of Washington, D. C., before a Negro health conference in New Orleans, that the high death rate among Negroes is not wholly due to hygienic conditions, but to racial ones as well, serves only to increase the concern with which the entire subject is being viewed. The Negroes, according to this authority are, for physical and racial reasons, not so well prepared as the whites for the conditions of climate and mode of life in this country. To add the handicap of the racially unfit to the allready heavy burden shouldered by the Negro is to increase the load of responsibility for the white man. When Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans and other large southern cities began to investigate the sanitary and living conditions in their Negro quarters recently the communities were shocked at the revelation. In a state of segregation the thing would have been bad enough. But colored nurses cooks and servants of the white people lived amid these conditions and came daily from them to wash, dress and nurse the children of white people, serve their meals and clean their houses. This fact, needless to say, struck residents of those cities with considerable force. Protests had been made to the census bureau for not separating the whites and blacks in the mortality figures for southern cities, the contention being that the high rate was unfair to charge against the white people. But after the first flush of indignation wore away and people gave the subject sober second thought it was realized that perhaps the white people were in part responsible for the high death rate among Negroes, inasmuch as they had done little or nothing to decrease the figure. The determined effort on the part of the white man to know in broader terms the life of the southern Negro has been remarked by Dr. W. D. Weatherford of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. "This is no morbid curiosity," he said at Memphis last spring, "nor is it a passing fad. There are fewer magazine articles, perhaps, and less agitation, but a book written by a southern woman passed the 20,000 mark within eighteen months after its publication, which is a marvelous sale for any book dealing with a social problem. I make bold to say that there have been more volumes on the Negro read by southern whites in the last five years than were read in all the 50 years preceded." This same authority cited also the determination by the best element in the South to share in the religious and social improvement of the Negro race. Farm demonstration agents are helping from one to a dozen Negroes to become better farmers. County superintendents throughout the South are holding institutes for colored people with much thoroughness and enthusiasm and visiting Negro schools as never before. A wounded soldier who was operated on in Paris was found to have suffered from 68 separate wounds. Most of them were from bullets and pieces of shell. A remarkable fact is that the man will probably recover. With English engineers doing the work, the Russian city of Baku will obtain a new water supply from mountains 120 miles distant. animals from $85,216,337 to $177,273, 785, or 107 per cent; poultry from $3,788,792 to $5,113,756, or 36 per cent; implements and machinery from $18, 586,225 to $36,681,418, or 98 per cent; land and buildings from $69,636,420 to $273,501,665, or 293 per cent. Officers of several affiliated organizations, among which are the National Negro Press association, the National Negro Bankers' association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' association, the National Negro Bar association and the National Association of Negro Insurance Men, will tell the members of the league the results attained in their several lines. Besides the business meetings a social program is being arranged. A special train will carry the Southern members of the league to Boston, and arrangements are being made for other trains to bring delegates from Chicago and further west. Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee, Ala., is in charge of these details. A Paris scientist is trying to collect phonograph records of all forms of speech. The amount of whisky distilled in Kentucky fell off two-thirds last year, the decrease in Pennsylvania was 35 per cent and that in Maryland more than 40 per cent. Prohibitionists say that since whisky is kept from four to eight years before consumption, a corresponding decrease in usage is expected in that length of time. Cape Cod, the peninsula of Massachusetts, is no longer a cape It has been made an island by the completion of the Cape Cod canal. WHERE BLUE BLOOD RULES In Germany and Austria It Makes No Difference How Much You Have, Only What You Are. Miss Wylie says in her "Eight Years in Germany" that contempt for mere money is a striking characteristic of the German people. Wealth alone does not entitle its possessor to any special deference or consideration. "The German's indifference to money," she declares, "amounts very nearly to contempt. I am not speaking only of the aristocracy. The very shopkeepers themselves have the same feeling, and it has often amused me during the Christmas shopping to watch how poverty-stricken Baroness von X is surrounded by courteous, deferential attendants, eager to sell her the sixpenny knickknack she has come to buy, whereas wealthy Frau Rosenkrantz, making her expensive purchases, receives no particular attention. "In Germany you can be poor and live poorly without reproach. You can live in a garret and dress as your means allow, but you will not be judged by your garret and your shabbiness, but by yourself. If you have an honored name or a spark of genius the doors of the most exclusive circles are opened to you. Talent and birth are the only passwords that German society understands; and wealth, unless its owner is very tactful, or is himself indifferent to it, is not welcomed. Ostentation of any sort is an unpardonable offense." In Austria it is birth alone that confers distinction. There is no country in the world where social caste is so immutable as it is in Austria. A man is either "born" or not. If he is "born" he is notable; if he is not "born" nothing can ever make him noble. If a noble marries a woman of humble birth, neither he nor his children can succeed to the family property; neither he himself, his wife nor his children are received in society. Austria is therefore divided into three distinct classes: the nobility, the middle class and the peasantry, each living as it were within a ring fence. In Britain, the shopgirl of today can be the duchess of tomorrow, with all the rights of precedence at court and in the social world that attach to the rank of her husband; the country boy of today can be the prime minister of the future. Such possibilities do not exist in Austria. Nothing opens the door of society in Austria—neither genius, great wealth, heroism, nor the highest distinction in the arts and sciences; all are unavailing unless their possessor can put the magic word "geboren" after his name. The emperor from time to time confers titles of nobility; but they do not confer the magic word, and the bearers of titles form a class by themselves.—Chambers' Journal. Sure Thing.

"A monument built by and from Postum," is the way an Illinois man describes himself. He says: "For years I was a coffee drinker until at last I became a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia, constipation, headaches and indigestion. "The different kinds of medicine I tried did not cure me, and finally some one told me to leave off coffee and take up Postum. I was fortunate in having the Postum made strictly according to directions on the pkg., so that from the start I liked it. "Gradually my condition changed. The old troubles disappeared and I began to feel well again. My appetite became good and I could digest food. Now I am restored to strength and health, can sleep sound all night and awake with a fresh and rested body." "I am really a monument built by Postum, for I was a physical wreck, distressed in body and mind, and am now a strong, healthy man. I know exactly what made the change; it was leaving off coffee and using Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original foam—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.

Oklahoma City—Exhaustive methods employed by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific to obtain statistics describing operating expenses on its lines in Oklahoma, as presented by A. Hermany, auditor of the road, with offices at Chicago, featured the opening session of the passenger rate hearing which began in the United States district court. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway, the St. Louis & San Francisco railway and the Santa Fe railway are seeking to establish a 3-cent passenger fare rate in Oklahoma. United States District Judge Frank A. Youmans of Forr Smith, Ark., occupidt the bench and stated at the opening of court that he is prepared to remain for the summer if necessary. Many Attorneys Present. Many Attorneys Present.

MEXICO CITY IS AGAIN BESIEGED Capital May Fall Into Possession of Villa Once More. Washington.—Mexico City is again threatened with attack and the Carranza forces under General Gonzales, who drove the Zapata army away from the capital ten days ago have marched hurriedly northward to engage an advancing Villa column believed to be planning in junction with the Zapata troops now menacing communications with Vera Cruz. State department dispatches announced General Gonzales with most of his army had evacuated Mexico City, turning the government over to the civil authorities. This was preceded by a dispatch that General Villa's flying column which circled Oregon's forces after the battle of Aguas Calientes and captured Queretaro had taken possession of Pachuca, within forty miles of Mexico City, and was marching toward the capital. Simultaneously with the latter report came the news that General Carranza had taken posession of the reconstructed railroad east of Apizaco, a junction point south of Pachuca, and had ordered it held exclusively for transportation of troops and ammunition, thus preventing further shipments of provisions from Vera Cruz to the needy thousands at Mexico City. Officials here made no efforts to conceal their belief that the situation surrounding the Mexican capital is a grave one. With another battle for possession of the city imminent and with much needed food shipments from the east coast cut off it we feared further suffering among the civil population would follow. That the food shortage has not been exaggerated was indicated in a report to the American Red Cross describing conditions existing shortly before General Gonzales took possession of the city. General Gonzales' sudden evacuation of the city in an effort to head off the invading forces together with Carranza's action in closing the railroad to freight and passenger traffic it was feared here would make further relief work at the capital practically impossible until decisive developments in the situation have occurred. Fire On Battleship Oklahoma. Philadelphia.—Fire of mysterious origin was discovered on the United States battleship Oklahoma at the yards of the New York Ship Building Co. Smoke was seen issuing from the compartment under turret No. 1, shortly after the workmen had left the yard for the day. The compartment was flooded and it was belitved the fire had been put out. At 9 o'clock more smoke was observed and the compartment was again flooded, the fire being extinguished an hour later. SAILOR'S HARD FATE Coal Oil and Hot Pie Proved a Bad Mixture. Captain Bulling of the Bark Moonshine Spins a Yarn Having to Do With the Misadventure of Ship- wrecked Yankee Seaman. Squinting thoughtfully through sun- reddened eyes, Captain Bulling of the three-masted bark Moonshine, at an anchor off Staten Island after a voyage of three months around the Horn from Valparaiso, watched the tug carrying his crew dwindle in the shadows to ward the Battery. "We rescued a whale-eatin' Maine sailor who was cast ashore on an岛 land off Terra del Fuego," the captain remarked thoughtfully. "But we lost him again, 'cause he couldn't get used to our food. Whale oil is worse'n liquor on a Yankee." And then, be- tween savage attacks on a terrible elgar, he spun this harrowing yarn: "We were beatin' it in a fair wind off the Horn late one night when the lookout sights a fire on an island to our win'ard and sings out. I clapped the glasses to my eye and saw a lot of niggers wavin' and in front of 'em is a big fellow who looks like a bear. "After a while a boat come back with this sailor, Joshton, who is sitting in the stern, with his mouth open'n' and shuttin' like he is a clam. "It seemed he was aboard the Mary Banter, with a load of lumber from 'Frisco to Norfolk, 14 years ago. Com'n' around the Horn they met up with a blow and when Joshton woke up next he found himself on this coral island we took him off of. "He must have faltened from hunger, when he was woke up by niggers pokin' him, and when he yelled they yelled, too, and fell down on their faces and kicked their toes up. "He signed he wanted food and the niggers brought him whale blubber, which he hit one over the head with, signin' for water. They brought him a bowl of whale oil and he nearly went crazy. But that was all he could get, so he chewed the whale blubber and drank the oil slew and it put life into him. "When I heard that yarn I yelled for the cook to fix him a meal that would make him forget his whale diet. He looked at it with glistenin' eyes when it come, and filled his mouth, but he can't eat it—and he can't drink any water. 'Twa't any use. He drank some water one night and went staving wild, pulling the lamp from the bracket and drinking a quart of coal oil. I watched him, expectin' any minute to see him die, but it done him good. Yessir, he smiled and said: 'That's fine. I believe, captain, I could stand another.' So I had 'em broach a keg o' oil we had on deck, and gave him a schooner of it. "That oil agreed with him. But two weeks ago—I'm off Hatteras—I heard a terrible roar from the galley and hurried out. I saw Joshton lit up inside so I could see his 'innards,' like his outside with a lamp chimney. Flames was issuing from his mouth, and he leaped into the sea, right over the rail. As he hit, the water there There’s Energy and Summer Comfort in this simple breakfast: It satisfies the appetite and is easily digested.

"Joshton was just drinkin' his hourly scooper o' coal oil, and he wandered into the galley, just as the cook was pulling a hot pie out of the oven. Poor Joshton smelt that pie and it brought back memories so strong he couldn't resist. He reached over and picked that pie up and took a big bite, washing it down with a swaller of coal oil. The heat was too much, there was combustion or something, and he lit up all over, being filled up for years with whale oil, you know, and in agony he jumped overboard." Captain Bulling sighed morosely. "I lost the address of his folks, too," he said. "I can never tell 'em how he wanted to be remembered to 'em." And he threw away his cigar, and cocked a sage eye toward the Statue of Liberty—she seemed to be smiling a bit in the sunset. What She Expected "Look at her," said the ironmonger, indicating a departing customer. "She sent her wringer here to be repaired. I promised it to her for this week, provided I could get a certain new part in time from the maker's. I couldn't get it. Now she wants me to pay a charwoman, who came unnecessarily, half a crown an' twopence for the clothes." The ironmonger paused to breathe heavily. "But that's not all. Her husband dines on on washdays, and as he dined out on a washday that wasn't a washday—you understand?" she says I ought to pay for his dinner. No, she doesn't ask anything else. And they call 'em the weaker sex."—London Tit-Bits He Would Not Corrupt Him. Edmund had just begun to attend the public school, and had found a new friend, a child of whom Edmund's mother had never heard. "Who is this Walter?" she asked. "Is he a nice little boy?" "Yes, ma'am, he is!" replied Edmund, enthusiastically. "Does he say any naughty words?" pursued his mother. "No," with emphasis, "and I'm not going to teach him any!"—Youth's Companion. Keeping Up Appearances. "What's the use of buying a fly swatter?" growled Mr. Cobbles. "A folded newspaper does well enough." "Do you think I'm going to swat flies with a folded newspaper when there are visitors here, Henry Cobbles?" asked Mrs. Cobbles. "I should say not!" Broke. "Come on. Bill. Join us in a little game of poker." "Sorry, boys, but I can't." "Why not? Your wife is in the country." "Yes, and so is my salary." Beginning of the End. She (rapturously)—Ah, how nice it must be to wake up and find yourself famous! How I wish I had a name. He (timidly)—Well, er—that's easy, how would mine suit you? What we look for in friends is congeniality, not character. Financial circumstances alter legal cases. Energy Summer Com BE KINDER TO YOURSELF Women Are Often Victims of Nervousness Because They Don't Know How to Relax. One of the important things to know in life, especially if you are a woman, is how to let yourself alone, writes Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mother's Magazine. The ability to relax, the art of being judiciously lazy, the tact to let herself alone has saved many a woman from a nervous breakdown. We all know the housewife who nags herself into such a state of consciousness that she cannot rest. If she lies down she is continually worrying herself with thoughts of the work that she is neglecting. Much of the blame for this state of affairs lies at the doors of the mothers. The mistake is in their training of their children, especially their daughters. They are taught from earliest infancy to be kind to others, to bear with them, to forgive them, to help them; but from birth to death no one ever tells them to be kind, also, to themselves. The woman who nags herself can make herself more miserable than anyone else possibly could. She can make her life more of a nightmare than any misfortune could possibly make it. If such women could learn to be kinder to themselves there is no doubt that their own lives would be lengthened; and not only that, but the lives of those with whom they come in close contact would be made far more pleasant. "I'm going to a surprise party, my dear," answered the mother. After a few moments' deep thought: "Say, ma, then don't you think they'd be lots more surprised if you did take us all?" "How long does it take you to go fishing?" "Well, if you consider the time I actually fish, it takes only a few hours. But if you count in the time I consume waiting for conditions to be just right and arranging for bait, it takes several weeks." No Time. "Isn't it strange that Mrs. Robinson never attends the Mothers' club meetings. We've invited her time and again." "I'm afraid she's a hopeless old fogy. She insists on staying home to take care of her children." Hopeless. Maud—I said to Jack that I wasn't going to return his ring until I got one from another man. Ethel—He told me he never expected to get it back. Explained. Patience—Why do they call a boat "she." do you suppose? Patrice—Because it has such good lines, probably. But in after years if a man refuses to let his wife buy his neckties she imagines that he has ceased to love her. Published Every Saturday at 10:00 North Greenwood Street.

Note writing seems to be a pastime with our president nowadays. EVEN IN PRSON a man is not free from the mob spirit in Georgia. THE K. OF P. LOCAL COMMITTEE have declared bankruptcy to avoid payment of claims. The seven committeemen have seven different stories to tell about the funds. All of them, it seems, kept a fairly good account of money received, but few of them appear to have kept up with the money paid out. A CERTAIN MERCHANT of this city has caused a great deal of comment by taking the position in answer to an editorial in one of the daily papers about home merchants not buying enough home products from the home farmers, that home farmers do not produce enough variety of home products to meet the demands of the home trade. We agree that the truck farmers of Tlusa should have the preference in supplying the demands of the home trade to home merchants. Every merchant should try to spend as much money as possible at home. If home products are being shipped away from home, as one of the daily papers says, and later shipped back to our home merchants and sold to us, it simply shows that something is lacking somewhere, just where and what is lacking is a question yet to be solved. The merchant claims that the home farmers do not produce enough variety of home products to supply the trade. If this is true, his contention that organization of home farmers would overcome the evil would probably be the correct solution of the problem. IF REPORTS ARE TRUE Tulsa now has 6,937 gas meters installed. For each meter the gas consumer deposits $5 with the Osage company where it remains as long as the meter is used. This means that the Osage company holds $34,685 belonging to the citizens of Tulsa. At a legal rate of 8 per cent the people of Tulsa should draw down in interest $2,774.80 annually, but how many have drawn their interest? This deposit they say is to guarantee the payment of gas bills. But if yop fail to pay a bill of 75 cents the Osage company will promptly cut off your gas. The Star believes the company should be made to install the meters for not more than $1 deposit and that they should pay a man appointed by the city commissioners to rea dthe meters. NEGRO MINORS AND THE COUNTY COURTS. IN OKLAHOMA we have thousands of wealthy Negro children whose incomes amount to from $500 to $8,000 a month. This money, of course, is handled by guardians appointed by the county courts of Oklahoma. The guardians are allowed 10 per cent of the amount of money his ward is worth in cash or property, and they usually use the minor's money in a way to make many times this commission. As a result there are hundreds of white men in this state who have become rich from the wealth of Negro children; because it is a recognized fact that the county judges invariably appoint white men as guardians of Negro children where there is any great amount of money involved. sometimes very often overlooking the dren's natural guardian and protector—the parent, whatever the parent's qualifications. And no white man has ever been known to refuse the guardship of a wealthy Negro child, however pronounced his hatred or prejudice for the Negro race. Nor has any white man been found who would be as fair and impartial in his treatment of his Negro wards as he would of white minors whose money he handles. Oklahoma is full of graft, but the biggest game of graft in the state today is the guardianship graft which is manipulated to lay uncurious white men, aided by the county courts. A prominent example of the graft of Negro guardianship money was shown recently in Muskogee when Bob Fite, a white man who has openly manifested his prejudice against the race, through the white guardianship of Sarah Rector, probably the wealthiest girl in Oklahoma, and the county court, sold his building on South Second street in Muskogee to the Rector girl for the extortionate sum of $57,000. The building was a white elephant on Fite's hands and he used his pull with the white guardian of this Negro girl to load it off on her. The Star is unalterably opposed to appointing white men as guardians over Negro children, for the same reason that white men are opposed to the appointment of Negro men as guardians over white children—and there is not a Negro now acting as a guardian over a white child in Oklahoma. It is not fair, it is not right, and there is no argument to justify it. Negroes are able to look after the wealth of their own children and they would do it with much more interest in the welfare of their wards than any white man will. The white man has done everything possible in Oklahoma to humiliate the Negro and to retard him in his progress, and we do not believe it is fair and just to the race to put white PAGE FOUR Published Every Sutorel 14, 40011 Oklahoma, under the Do A.

They have "Jim Crowed" us, attempted to disfranchise us, taxed us without giving us representation, and after doing all of this they are clamoring to be guardians of our children—the children of the race they have so grossly wronged. We have no objection to the white man acting as guardians of the Indian children, the race they have legislated out of itself into the white race, but we do register a strong protest against any white man acting as guardian of any Negro minor. In all things let us have fair play. Club Women in Arkansas Mr. A. J.

B. Smitherman A christian believer in Jesus Christ believes that if he only throws his own lost and sinful soul on the Redeemer there is in his sacrifice sufficient merit to cancel all his guilt, and in his heart sufficient love to undertake the keeping of his soul for all eternity. He be leaves that Jesus is a savior. A christian man is higher and deeper and broader than other men. He is more fully developed in all his capacities both for joy and sorrow. I believe in the words of Jesus, I be leive in the service of love and unworldly life. I believe that a gr at many christians are overcome because they dont know what a terrible fight we have. Now it is no sign because a man is a christian that he is going to over come the world unless he resists tempation when it comes. 1. John the 5th chapter fourth verse says whatever is born of God overcometh the world; Do not let any man think that all he has to do to join the church, that will not save you, the question is are you over coming the world, or is the work over coming you? Are you more to ing and patient than you were 5 years ago, are you living the life that Jesus is calling for, have you more faith; if you havent the world is over coming you even if you are a church member.

In all things let SAM'S BUNCH ASKING FOR HELP Declare that the movement is a failure. They say that the crew will have to get back the best way they can. All that was said about Sam is true. The ship belongs to Sam only. (By, Geo, W, Perry.) It is indeed gratifying to know that the followers of Sam are now confessing in no uncertain terms that the movement is a fake and that Sam is not the chief of the Ashantees, not their Moses, but a fake and a deceiver. We are glad to say that we predicted the end would come, and we are glad to know they are confessing now and will thank us in the near future for our stand in this matter. Read carefully the following letter from Mrs. M. A. Brown, 1318 33rd St., Galveston, Texas, to Mrs. O. A. Carter of Boley, Okla. You will also note that Mrs. Brown is a daughter of Doc Garrett, who is on the ship, and one of the leaders in the African movement in this state, and he tells her they are blowed-up suckers, that they will have to get back the best way they can. Read it carefully as follows: "Galveston, Texas, July 15, 1915. Mr. Carter: Kind Sir:—I received your letter some time ago but have been so busy I didn't take time to write you—one has to keep scratching to live here. I had a letter from Pa today. Well things are not what they ought to be. Don't put any money into the movement for if you do you will lose it. I understand that the ship belongs to Chief Sam and he is not going to bring them back, and they will have to get back way they can. I could tell you things that would make you open your eyes about the movement. Sam has proved to be just what the people said about him in a way. Don't sell unless you are going in an independent way. There is not much to Chief Sam. There have been seven deaths. You was acquainted with Mr. Parker he is among the dead, and Prof. Lewis. I am still selling pies to make a living. I hope you won't be as long in writing as I was. It is quite warm and dry here now. I remain, as ever. 1318 33rd street Dear reader, what have you now to say about this letter? She could tell you lots more that would open your eyes. The reason why she said the ship belonged to Sam was that her Hurst tried to tie up the ship in a law suit, and Sam won because the title was in his name. We called the followers attention to this fact and they declared they could take his word for it in preference to a mortgage from a citizen here. Now, let them suffer. But before we close this article, let us quote you a part of a letter Sp We a Prices on from Mrs. Collins to a friend here concerning what her husband wrote her some time ago, prior to Doc Garrett's letter to his daughter. Read from him was in May and I will tell it carefully: "The last letter I got you the trut habout what he said. He said that they could not get any coal for the ship to sail back home. He said the coal was 100 miles from them. He said if Chief Sam did not get any coal they would be done and would ask the governor to send them home. If I had my husband's letters I would send them to you, but I sent it to my relatives in Arkansas. My husband said the rest of the people on the ship was worried and was about to go crazy. I heard the letter read ofm David Jackson and he asked his people to send him $300 so he could come back home. I will write you later to tell me how to send the money in case I have to. I certainly miss my husband and I have rheumatism awful bad and have to work awful hard." I have in my possession the original copies of each letter, an dmany others that we will publish from time to time, and any one can see them. Now, her letter was received prior to Mrs. Brown's. The lawsuit Sam won we repeat, and Doc Garrett advised his daughter of it immediately. That is what Lyddell tells the followers who live at Weelekta, to keep the information about the lawsuit to themselves iadseridys ewolfolvH p.Erselfes and not let any of the outsiders get hold of it. But we have the information and we ask again what are they doing with the money they are collecting now? Is Liddell putting it in his pocket? Are the agents collecting now turning the money into the treasury? No! a thousand times no! We believe the various agents are whacking up with Liddell and that they are keeping the money. Let the followers stop now from paying any more money to Liddell and the various agents. What are they doing with the money? Where is the money? Just as the followers in Arkansas killed Dr. Lighfoot when he refused to return their money the followers of Sam ought to give the agents and officers of the Chief Sam scheme a good beating. Where is the money they are collecting now? Mrs. L. T. Partee and Miss Anna Partee will leave next week for San Francisco to attend the exposition. THE BROKEN ARROW DEMOCRAT July 9th carried an editorial clipped from the "Monitor" encouraged in the following language: Now that the "Grandfather Clause" has been devalued unconstitutional, by the highest court in the land, we presume we can soon prepare for meed schools and women's suffrage. We believe in giving people what they want, but it is pretty hard to tumble to a thing like this so long, however nigger wenches are good washer women and we need some people to do the washing in Shattuck.—Monitor. The writer of the above is nothing fool, too base in principle to be classed more than a poor, ignorant, incarnate with men, and in our opinion, the publishers of the Broken Arrow Democrat are in the same category. We understand a good number of Colored people are subscribers to this paper. Hereafter, they should bar it from their homes. Out For Harris --- WILLIAM H.

Mr. Trader always gives home production preference, prices and quality being equal. But as our fruit and truck growers are not organized they can not supply the demand of the people. One day it is all one thing, and the next day it is all something else. No variety and nothing lasting. Mr. Trader's customers are mostly laboring people and they have to eat every day, and they depend upon him to buy wherever he can buy the cheapest and to protect them in prices. So high prices is good for the producer, but low prices are good for the consumer and what is good for the one is hard on the other. Mr. Trader buys on the open market for cash, he buys in carlofs, he buys for less and he can sell for less and he does sell for less. 15 lbs.

Phone 931 Tulsa, Oklahoma Phone 2112 THE TULSA STAR INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). LESSON FOR JULY 25 SOLOMON DEDICATES THE TEM- PLE, LESSON TEXT-I Kings 8:22-30. LESSON TEXT-1 Kings 8:22-30 GOLDEN TEXT-My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people. Ia. 56.7. To teach this lesson properly reference must be made to the building of the temple (ch. 6), to the building of Solomon's palace and that for his Egyptian wife (ch. 7), and also to the renewal of the ark from the "tent of meeting," in Zion, to its new dwelling place in the temple. The time consumed in erecting the temple (seven years, 1 Kings 6:38), the number of men employed (approximately 150,000), and the skill and magnificence of the building! (Kings 6:7) will serve as an interesting introduction to the dedication ceremonies proper. Those present on this occasion are suggested in verses two and three; the time consumed was seven days (v. 66) and the condition of Solomon's heart (v. 5) is seen in the multitude of his sacrifices. The temple marks the beginning of a new era in Hebrew history, one of great outward glory, though it was not one of inward strength as the speedy breaking up of the kingdom and the final captivities give evidence. Professor Beecher sets the date of this event as being "about the twelfth year of Solomon's reign—say 1012 B. C." There has probably not been in all time a sacred building its equal for magnificence or situation. Read any good Bible dictionary for its description. It is a type of the Christian (I Cor. 3:10-16). 1. Solomon's Veneration, vv, 22-24. Solomon's temple was a place of sacrifice but more than all it was a house of prayer (Matt. 21:13) and his dedicatory prayer is the longest prayer recorded in the Scriptures. In it is to be found no mention of the temple as a place of sacrifice, yet no prayer is heard apart from sacrifice. Each article of the temple furniture had its special teaching but the greatest teaching of all was that of God's proximity and his readiness to hear the petitions of his servants. Solomon personally brought his thanks and his petition before the altar whereon lay the sacrifice (see Heb. 9:22; 10:19, 20; John 14:6), and even there he "spread forth his hands" in token of supplication, adoration and worship. We can "come boldly to a throne of grace" and need not priest or sacrament, for we have one who "ever liveth to intercede for us." Christ Jesus. II. God's Word Verified, vv. 25, 26 Solomon repeatedly referred to the fact that he has fulfilled God's promise to his father David in building the temple. God is a covenant-keeping God. Upon this fact Solomon voices his plea for future blessings. Every part of this prayer is worthy of careful study. Solomon's "therefore" (v. 25) reveals his acceptance of God's words to David (ch. 2:4). This word of Jehovah is sure and steadfast (Jer. 33:17-26) and Solomon's use of God's promise (2 Sam. 7:12-16) is an exhortation to us that we base our petitions upon one of God's promises. Praying thus we can rest assured that our prayer is in the will of God and therefore that it will be heard (I John 5:14, 15). III. God's Vision, vv. 27:30. See also 2 Chron. 7:1:3, 12:22. I Kings 9:1:9. As the king concluded his prayer the cloud resting over the holy of holies grew bright and dazzling and fire fell upon and consumed the sacrifices; the priests stood without in awe and amazement; the whole people fell upon their faces, and worshiped and praised Jehovah. Even with all of this special manifestation Solomon did not conceive of Jehovah a "local, tribal deity." Earth could not contain him, nor the heaven and the heaven of heavens (v. 27). God fills the whole universe (Ps. 129:7:16) yet he did and does give us special local manifestations of himself. It is this same vast God who dwelt fully in Jesus Christ (John 1:14; Col. 2:9). "Will (such a) God indeed dwell on the earth?" He who created the universe? Yet this God turned this vision towards the temple "day and night." Solomon coveted such scrutiny for in that temple God had said: "My name shall be there" (v. 29) and his nome is "Love" (I John 4:8; see also 2 Chron. 6:20, 40). This prayer is for us granted in him whom the temple typifies, our Lord Jesus (John 14:13, 14). The eyes of God are ever towards him and ready to answer the petition made in his name. There is a great lesson for the Christian and for the Christians' special places of worship, our churches, in this wonderful promise of Jehovah regarding his name. Accompanying this ceremony was the "Feast of Tabernacles" (vv. 62, 63; 2 Chron. 7:4-11) which usually lasted seven days but on this occasion continued for fourteen days. It was a time of great joy and gladness of heart for all the goodness and mercy of the Lord (see I Kings 8:66; 66; 2 Chron. 7:9. 10). Application. We are building a temple (Eph. 2:19-22); we must dedicate that temple to God (Rom. 12:11); our trust, our rest will only find its full satisfaction in him (Matt. 11:28, 29 and Heb. chapter 4).

She said the only way to prove it was by making the comparison, so I had to blow her to a strawberry sundae." "Did you hear about Scrbbbler?

Post Toasties LIFE'S UNSUNG HEROES True Bravery Not Confined to the Battlefield Many There Are In Quiet Places in the World More Worthy of Medals Than Any Soldier Who Has Won "Glory" We're very busy these days talking about heroes, lauding those who have given their lives for their country, writes Edna K. Wooley in the Kansas City Star. All sorts of medals are being distributed to men who are undoubtedly brave in the face of fearful dangers. Governments make great play upon the honor and glory achieved by their men who go forth to kill other men or be killed. To die in the service of one's country—ah! There can be no greater privilege, no finer quality of heroism! Strike off more medals! Pin on more fancy ribbons! Erect more monuments! Continue to make men and women believe that there is more heroism in a spectacular death while fighting the enemy—that enemy which is composed of brothers and sisters—than in living that others may live. I know one humble-souled little man who would be most deprecatingly surprised if anybody offered him a hero medal. He hasn't been wounded in battle nor saved anybody from drowning. In fact, he has lived a decidedly inconspicuous life and considers himself of no importance at all. The only thing he might think about is that he can't afford to die right now, because he's too busy taking care of his brother's two little children and their invalid mother. The brother had "skipped" when the burden grew too heavy, and the humble-souled little man, already burdened enough with his own family, simply considered it his duty to provide for the helpless sick woman and her helpless little ones. He can't make very much money. He hasn't the gift of earning except by the sweat of his brow. His hands are hard and clumsy. But he doesn't ask his overworked wife to bear all the burden. After his day's hard labor he sits up late many a night helping with the nursing and, yes, with the mending. But what makes him a hero, chiefly, is that he never complains. He has kept everybody hopeful, even cheerful, by his optimism, his preachments of better times coming. He is humble souled, but there's a stream of sunshine coming out of his heart, and though he isn't much on looks, he's truly doing the world good by passing through. Still, there are no hero medals to emblazon a life like this. I doubt if he'd wear one if he had it. I know of a workworn mother who has kept her family together through hardships that would try the soul of any soldier. Tenderly reared, she had no thought of disaster until one day men walked softly into her home, bearing a heavy burden, and she knew that the father of her children and the man she loved had gone into the great beyond. There were debts, and three little children. She might have separated Prepared in t Toast ight from the package—sweet, cri m fussing around in a stuffy kitc one—and John likes to find the bits of white Indian corn toasted and some fresh berries—They toast The laundry soaps that like hard water—they save the clothes and knock the dirt.

She served as a waitress in a restaurant. She tramped from house to house, seeking to sell what nobody wanted to buy. She performed menial tasks for the coarse-minded who took a delight in treating her as a servant. And yet this gentlewoman reared three splendid God-loving citizens, because no matter what her workday tasks had been, evening saw her always the smiling mother and companion of her little ones, putting memories in their hearts that would endure through their lives. This woman was made of the stuff that heroes are made of. There are many, many more like her. But we do not bestow hero medals on such. They are doing no conspicuous deeds of bravery. They are only doing their duty, we say, while we huzza the man who leads his troops to victory over the dead bodies of his fellow men. Why is there more glory in killing than in preserving life; in destruction than construction? Safety First. "How did the accident happen?"

PLANS FOR IDEAL RESIDENCE Arrangement of Building and Grounds Makes Use of Every Foot Available—Excellent Cellar Base-ment Provided For—Splendid Light in Kitchen. By WILLIAM A. BADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenus, Chicago, Ill., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. Neat, attractive, five-room bungalows are in great demand in towns, villages, and in the outskirts of large cities. American ingenuity has met all difficulties and adjusted this type of building to the satisfaction of builders and owners and the public in general, with the exception only of covetous neighbors who are not fortunate enough to own bungalows. The perspective and floor plan here with illustrated shows a bungalow type of residence intended for a comparatively narrow lot that has considerable depth. The general arrangement is to place the house about twenty feet back from the street to look well on the lot. The depth of the house is 41 feet 6 inches, which brings the rear of the building about sixty feet from the street line. A bungalow setting requires considerable garden at the back and a neatly-kept grass plot in front to carry out the idea of cozy home comfort. A pretty house needs beautiful flowers and handsome shrubbery to complete the picture. The construction of this bungalow is concrete up to a few inches above THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER grade. Here the framework starts with a plank sill doubled, spiked and locked at the corners in the usual plank frame construction manner. The studding are toe-nailed into the sill in the usual way, and the main floor joists are supported by 2-inch girders gained into the studding at a height sufficient to give $7\frac{1}{2}$ feet of head room in the cellar. This height of head room is necessary for the proper setting of a warm-air furnace. From the joists up, the framework is built in the usual way, using 2 by 4 PORCH 14'-5" x 10' PANTRY 8' x 7'-6" BED ROOM 81' x 9' KITCHEN 9'-6" x 12' LINEN CLO HALL BATH 7'-6" x 5'-6' BATH DINING ROOM 13' x 10'-6' BED ROOM 11' x 12' LIVING ROOM 13' x 11' COATES RECEPTION HALL 13' x 6' FRONT PORCH 23'-6" x 7'-6' Floor Plan. for studding and rafters, boarded over with common boarding and covered with building paper and shingles. The sides and roof are built alike, except that the shingles on the sides of the house are laid differently to get a more pleasing effect. The spacing is made narrow and wide alternately as the layers go on. There is a little variation in the outside finish in the pediments of the gables, which are covered with metal lath, paneled with wooden strips and plastered with stucco between. This is done to vary the outside finish and to give more character to the structure. The front of this bungalow is rath er more ornamental than usual on account of the pergola extension and general character of the porch design. Over the front door is a wide entrance way of rather heavy construction. The floor of the porch, including the pergola end, is of concrete with a waterproof finish. It is made level across the front of the house, but is given a slope outward for drainage. This is especially necessary because of the unprotecting character of the pergola. It will be noticed that the approach to this little bungalow is made extra wide. The fashion of building wide front steps and a correspondingly wide concrete walk reaching to the street has been noticeable during recent years. One man after surveying his new bungalow porch remarked that the steps must have been stolen from some schoolhouse. At the same time, after thinking the matter over, he decided that schoolhouse steps are necessary to carry out the bungalow-expansive idea. Wide front steps seem to require rampart step borders, which are useful as seats, besides giving the necessary finish to the house porch. In using this bungalow plan the contour of the lot was taken into consideration. The most attractive bungalows have rather a low appearance in front. A winter bungalow requires a cellar to be deep and well lighted. It is better to have a lot slope away to the back, because it permits the owner to bury his house in front and to have considerable exposure at the back. Bungalow cellars are used a good deal for storage purposes. Accessories must be taken care of. For this reason a cellar basement becomes more important than the cellar under a two-story house. When the lot slopes away to the back it is easy to make an excellent storeroom under the front part of the house and to finish the rear of the basement in such a way as to partition off a splendid laundry and furnace room that is entirely separate from the storeroom department. Every house built in the North should have a heating apparatus in the basement. Furnaces spoil a cellar for cold storage unless it is partitioned into rooms. It is customary to put larger and deeper windows in the back wall, for these reasons. A laundry room at the back makes a comfortable work room both in winter and in summer. It is never hot and it is never cold. It is easy of access by 6689x way of the stairway that goes down from the back hall. The plan of this bungalow shows that the living room and dining room are so closely connected that the two rooms really make one large room, 13 feet in width by 21 feet in depth. It is a grand room with plenty of light from the front as well as the side. Such a combination living room and dining room requires a uniform design in woodwork in both rooms. The floor is of hardwood and the woodwork from the baseboard to the crown molding at the ceiling is rather heavy, but severely plain; the only difference in the general woodwork design of the two rooms is in the plate rail and built-in buffet. Where the living room and dining room are used as one room the plate rail sometimes is left out. The dining table is placed in one end of the room next to the kitchen. All the furniture as well as the woodwork corresponds, so that an elegant room, comfortably furnished, results. It is much easier to furnish a large room than a small one, a fact that must be appreciated because there are so many large living rooms in the newer houses. Especial attention is given to the woodwork and general finish of the kitchen. The work of lathing and plastering is carefully done, and the woodwork is hard and smooth, and the whole surface of the walls and ceilings is given a smooth, glossy finish of pure white enameled paint. The kitchen is made light by two large windows and a glass door that opens on the back porch. On the opposite side of the house, which usually is the north or east side, we have two comfortable bedrooms, with the necessary clothes closets, linen closet and bathroom. All the rooms in the house are connected by a short hall that takes up very little space; an arrangement that is well liked in a house of this design. In addition to the splendid basement, considerable storage is provided in the attic. A stairway is built leading up from the pantry, so that odd things may be put out of the way until needed. The attic has considerable size and is lighted from two large gables. --- CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK, UGHT IT'S MERCURY AND S Straighten Up! Don't Lose a Day's Work! Clean Liver and Bowels With "Dodson's Liver T CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK, UGH! IT'S MERCURY AND SALIVATES Straighten Up! Don't Lose a Day's Work! Clean Your Sluggish Liver and Bowels With "Dodson's Liver Tone." Ugh! Calomel makes you sick. Take a dose of the vile, dangerous drug tonight and tomorrow you may lose a day's work. Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile crashes into it, breaking it up. This is when you feel that awful nausea and cramping. If you feel sluggish and "all knocked out," if your liver is torpid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour, just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone. Here's my guarantee—Go to any drug store or dealer and get a 50-cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. Take a spoonful tonight and if it doesn't straighten you right up and make you feel fine and vigorous by morning; want you to go back to the store and get your money. Dodson's Liver Tone is destroying the sale of calomel because it is real liver medicine; entirely vegetable, therefore it cannot salvate or make you sick. I guarantee that one spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone will put your sluggish liver to work and clean your bowels of that sour bile and constipated waste which is clogging your system and making you feel miserable. I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone will keep your entire family feeling fine for months. Give it to your children. It is harmless; doesn't gripe and they like its pleasant taste. On the day after the visit of the German Zeppelins there occurred in Southwark—so a wireless message from Berlin asserts—the following conversation: "Betsy," whispered Mr. James, leading his wife into the darkest corner of the cellar, "here is a wallet. You will find in it all our valuable papers, the stocks and bonds, my will, my insurance policies, and the lock of baby's hair cut off on his first birthday. Good-by, Betsy. If I fail to return, bring up our children to be good English men and women." "Oh, James, dear, you are not going on a dangerous journey, are you?" "Yes, dearest. I must go up to the first floor."—New York Evening Post. Health and Excitement The sick rate in Russia has decreased since the war began. Part of the improvement—doubtless the greater part—is due to the passing of vodka, but something must be said for the curious way in which the human frame reacts to excitement and develops resistance to disease under the stimulus of strong interests or emotions. The refugees from San Francisco, for example, had not been devotees of vodka, but they showed a wonderful health record during their period of enforced open-air life and short commons.

WAS DOUBLING UP ON LIFE Small Girl's Unfortunate Remembrance of Mother's Remark Caused Embarrassment. Col. George Harvey said at a banquet in his honor in New York: "We editors like criticism, especially when it is of the very favorable kind that I've received this evening. "But not all criticism is favorable, even for the most successful editors. A good many editors, in fact, often find themselves in the position of the rich old broker whose little grand-neice said: "'Uncle, how long do people live?' 'The natural span of man's life,' the uncle answered, 'is, as the Good Book tells us, three score years and ten.' 'Oh, then you'll live to be one hundred and forty, won't you uncle?' "The old man looked around the room crowded with relatives and laughed heartily. "'Why, no,' he said. 'Why, no. How do you make that out?" "'Isn't it true, then,' said the little girl—'isn't it true what mamma says about you living a double life?'"—Washington Star. Insulted the Mayor A company had opened a new swimming bath in the place, and as a compliment sent a free ticket to the mayor. That worthy man was very pleased. But he began to wonder when another ticket arrived. Sitting down, he wrote to the bath proprietors as follows: "Gentlemen: Your first ticket I received as a compliment. Your second strikes me as being rather suggestive. If you send me a third I will take it as a personal insult." "You remember that chap Jones who made a bet of ten thousand dollars that he would walk from San Francisco to New York without a cent in his pocket?" "Yes. Did he win the bet?" "Not quite. He got as far as Philadelphia, and there he was arrested as a vagrant and forced against his will to ride three blocks in a patrol wagon. That disqualified him."

Among the old miners of Sisikyou county a man can get worse whisky at Sawyer's bar than in any other place on earth. This is the belief of the gold-diggers of that section, and that faith is accepted as orthodox, says the San Francisco Call. Regularly every Christmas Billy X, foreman of ae Oro Fino mine, takes his layoff down at Sawyer's. Once the superintendent asked him why he always selected that place for his vacation. "I want to have one year drunk," said Billy, "and I want to know just when I am drunk, so that I may enjoy the sensation." "Well, can't you enjoy the sensation in any other portion of the county or state or continent?" asked the superintendent. "No. When I'm drinking Sawyer's whisky and it begins to taste good, then I know I'm drunk." "Did you divide the cruller as I told you with your little brother?" "Yes me. I gave him the hole." "Yes, ma. I gave him the hole." Smile, smile, beautiful clear white clothes. Red Cross Ball Blue, American made, therefore best. All grocers. Adv. As president of the French republic M.
