More Than Seven Hundred Negroes Employed by the City in Chicago. "To deny equal opportunity to the Negro in this land would be out of harmony with American history, untrue to the sacred principles of liberty and equal rights, and would make a mockery of our boasted civilization and justice."—Mayer William Hale Thompson, Chicago. It is estimated that Mayor Thompson has given jobs to approximately 200 negroes. A census of the negro employees of the city was suggested by the mayor's statement at the half century anniversary exposition that it is his duty to elevate rather than degrade the race. The estimate does not include Negro laborers and other employees who were in the city service during former Mayor Harrison's term of office. The Negroes appointed by the new administration have for the most part taken jobs formerly held by White men and women. Jobs Given 200 Negroes. The distribution of the 200 Negro employees is as follows: Law department, attorneys, investigators, and clerks Health department, city controller, office, etc 5 Garbage plant, laborers 20 Water pipe extension division, laborers 40 Bureau of streets, laborers.....125 Total .....197 The appointments in the law department constitute one of the biggest departures from precedent, although the number of Negroes named is not relatively large. These Hold Law Positions. Their names and positions are: J. Tipper, Jr., 3606 South Wabash avenue, investigator. Louis B. Anderson, 2821 South Wabash avenue, assistant corporation counsel. Edward H. Wright, 2063 South Wabash avenue, assistant corporation counsel. The Rev. A. J. Carey, 3428 Vernon avenue, law claim investigator. Mrs. Gertrude Fowler, 23 East Forty-seventh street, clerk and telephone operator. Jerry M. Brumfield, 6209 South Loomis street, assistant city attorney. Supplant White Men. In the garbage plant Negro laborers supplanted white men. The same is true of the forty Negro employees in the water pipe extension division. The estimate of the number of Negroes given employment by the administration is only approximate, as the amount of work varies from time to time and the street bureau keeps no record of the color of employees. In the Second ward fifty-three out of eighty men at work on the streets are Colored, but a large percentage of these holdovers from the Harrison administration, according to the ward superintendent. Under Mr. Harrison about 500 Negroes, mostly laborers, were employed by the city. That number, it is believed, has been increased to 700 or more. —The Chicago Daily Tribune Colored Boy Wins Prize Dewey Green, a Colored boy of Tulsa, who won first prize in the Boys Corn Club Contest last year, won second prize in the Boys Pig Club Contest at the fair here last week.

McCl in And Wife Arrested McCl in And Wife Arrested SPORT KING SAYS HE IS BEING PERSECUTED. Billy McClain, the Colored sporting king of Tulsa, was arrested last Friday night one a warrant issued by Justice Freeman L. Martin, sworn to by F. Gilmore, for conducting a place of public nuisance. He was committed to jail and Monday applied for release on habeas corpus proceedings, pleading that he was illegally held because the Justice of the Peace had no jurisdiction in such cases. Judge Breckenridge ruled that the prisoner was illegally held but granted the prosecution an hour in which to file proper charges. Meanwhile the prisoner was denied his liberty even for the hour. Monday night a warrant was issued for Mrs. McClain, but she was not arrested. Tuesday morning she went unaccompanied to the court house, and her must and who up to that time had refused bond, readily consented and they were both released on bond of $500.00 each. The Palm Beach Garden, the alleged "nuisance", has never been closed and according to the police officers is a very orderly place for one of that nature of amusement. McClain says he is not being prosecuted but persecuted. Ross May Be Local Favorite Ross May Be Local Favorite Fighting Italian Has Met and Defeated Some of the Best Heavies in the Game, Palzer and Others. Tony Ross, who is to meet Carl Morris at Convention hall Friday night, October 1, has become quite a favorite locally and it would not be at all surprising to see him the ringside favorite. Ross enjoys the distinction of having boxed more top-notchers in the heavy weight division than any other living man. In fact there is not a notable ring general today who has not met Ross, and the latter's record shows that he has always given a good account of himself. Yesterday Ross was standing in front of Hotel Tulsa, following his usual afternoon workout at the Grand opera house, conversing with a crowd of oil men, many of whom knew him intimately when they were back in Pennsylvania, Ross' home state. Ross became talkative for the first time since he has been in Tulsa. "I don't like to boast," he said, "but for the benefit of those who don't know my record I want to remind them that I beat Al Kaufman twice, when Kaufman was at his best. You know I always admired that fellow and I still contend that he was a whole lot better man than some critics gave him credit for." "Kaufman never compared with Joe Jeannette," interrupted an old friend of the Italian, "and you got a newspaper decision over Joe in New York. That was one of the best ten round bouts ever held in New York."

Hotel Tulsa Starts New Main Cafe Hotel Tulsa Starts New Main Cafe Tulsa's Leading Hotel Opens Cafe Up-Stairs—Colored Boys in Charge. Hotel Tulsa, the leading hotel of this city, has added a new feature this week by opening a main cafe up-stairs which will be conducted independently of the coffee room in the basement. This late improvement was planned by the manager with the desire of giving better service to the patrons of this hotel and nothing has been overlooked in the preparation. N. C. Chester, former head waiter at the Skirvin hotel in Oklahoma City, is head waiter in the main cafe. Chester is said to be one of the best head waiters in the southwest, and he has around him a crew of competent waiters brought with him from Oklahoma City, who are said to be some of the best in the state. The managers of Hotel Tulsa have always been in the making of the Colored boys and by employing them for the main cafe jobs a position to continue to the then chance. A NATION OF LIARS Tennessee is a prohibition state, and Memphis is a city in Tennessee. But Cecil Chesterton, the brother of the brilliant Gilbert K. Chesterton, who was in Memphis not long ago, reports that the drinking habit is still in full blast there, although one gets his beverage no longer in a place known as a saloon, but in a place known as a drug store. Mr. Chesterton found a rhyme that seemed to be which ran as follows: Come, little Barroom, Don't you cry! You'll be a Drug Store By and by. The formula for getting liquor in one of these drug stores, he says, is to say: "I'm real sick." What a nation of liers our prohibitionist brethren are making out of us! Between the prohibitionists and Mrs. Eddy, there will not be be long a truthful soul among us, for Mrs. Eddy makes all of her followers say, "I am real well," even when they are sick, and the prohibitionists make the rest of us say "I am real sick," even when we are as "fit at a fiddle."—Rochester Herald. McAlester Girl Gets Position Here Daughter of Wealthy Railroad Contractor Gets Position in City School. Miss Hazel McDaniel, a popular young woman of McAlester, daughter of E. E. McDaniel, the big railroad contractor of Oklahoma fame, was app pointed to a position in the high school here last week and took up her duties as teacher of English and music Monday morning. Miss McDaniel is a graduate of the Kansas State University and is one of the best qualified young women teachers in Oklahoma. Pay For The Star HEAVY ENROLLMENT FOR EAST END SCHOOLS Congested Conditions in East End School May Necessitate New Building Before Xmas. The public schools of this city open Monday with the largest enrollment ever recorded in Tulsa. The Colored schools opened with 573 pupils which was an increase over last year's enrollment and many more have enrolled since then. Some of the rooms in the grade schools are already taxed to full capacity with more pupils yet to be assigned to them. The assignment of teachers for the Colored schools is as follows: High School. E. W. Woods, principal, mathematics; S. D. McRea, English and Latin; J. H. Roberts, history and science; Miss Hazel McDaniel, English and music; Miss Lula Curtis, domestic science and arts; McGill, manual training. Grade Schools. J. H. Hughes, principal, 6-B; Mrs F. L. Martin, 5-A and B; Wm. Lane, 4-A; Miss Dorotha Patterson, 4-B; Mrs. A. C. Jackson, 3-A; Miss Alma Porter, 3-B; Miss Myrtle 2-A; Mrs. J. W. Hughes, 2-B; Mrs. Birdie Lynch, 1-A; Mrs. Jas. A. Johnson, 1-B. According to a statement made early this week by Prof. Hughes it will probably be necessary to have another teacher for the grade schools long before Christmas. The teachers are all enthused in their work and the pupils all seem eager to take the work in hand. If the patrons of the schools will take more interest in their children and the teacher and make occasional visits to the school rooms both teachers and pupils will be benefited and the school work made much easier.

Negro School Man Delivers Address to Germans President of Mississippi School Startles German Methodist Conference By Delivering Address In Their Own Language. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 7.—Thursday, September 2, the Rev. J. H. F. Shaw, president of the Meridian Institute, Meridian, Miss., appeared before the German Methodist conference which was in session here, and delivered an address in interest of the Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He spoke in German, and it was the first time in the history of the conference that it had heard an address in the German language by a Negro.

PAGE TWO VILNA FALLS TO VON HINDENBURG ONE MORE STEP IN VICTORIOUS MARCH OF THE GER- MAN TROOPS. RUSSIAN ARMY IS IN DANGER Once More There Is a Possibility of Czar's Troops Being Entirely Surrounded By Invaders. London.—The Germans have occupied Vilna and by a wide sweeping movement to the northward of that city have succeeded in almost if not entirely surrounding a portion of the Russian army, which is fighting in the railway triangle between Vilna, Lida and Vileika. At any rate the Russian forces in this district either must fight their way out eastward or retire in a south-easterly direction, for the only railway left entirely in their hands is that which runs from Vilna to Lida and thence to Baranovitch. The army of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, which took Vilna and has reached Vileika to the east of Vilna, is working in close co-operation with that of Archduke Leo gold of Bavaria in an effort to catch a part of the Russian army, an operation which has been so often tried without success since the Austro-Germans commenced their drive in western Galicia in early May. Vilna, a city of some 170,000 inhabitants on the Warsaw-Petrograd railway line, has been the object of a German offensive movement for weeks past in the course of the widespread operations of Field Marshal Von Hindenburg on the northern end of the extended battle line in the east. After the fall of Povno to the northwest and Grodnto to the southwest no fortress barrier remained before the Germans moving on Vilna, but stubborn defensive measures were taken by the Russians to hold back the Teutonic advance, Vilna being the northern key position on the important strategic railway running southeastward to Rovno which the Russians were striving to retain. It was on this line, running through Lida that the defenders of Vilna apparently had their sole opportunity to retreat along railway routes when the German offensive recently developed intensive force, the lines southwest of the city and those to the north and the east having been cut. CARRRNZA MAY GET RECOGNITION A.B.C. Conference Thinks He Has Strongest Party. New York.—Secretary Lansing, representing the United States government and the representatives of Chile, Argentina and Brazil and minister from Uruguay resolved at their meeting here that the time had come for the extension of formal recognition to a government in Mexico. Three weeks from now another meeting of the conference will be held in Washington at which a decision is to be made as to the elements upon which recognition should be conferred. A formal statement issued by the conference declared that inasmuch as the factions themselves had failed to come to an agreement, recognition would be accorded to the de facto authorities possessing the "material and moral capacity necessary to protect the lives and property of nationals and foreigners." Each of the several governments, it was announced, would itself judge such capacity and recognition will likewise be extended by each government separately at such time as it may deem proper. Unless the military situation in Mexico takes a decided turn within the next three weeks in favor of General Villa, who has concentrated his forces for battle with General Obregon, the Carranza, commander-in-chief at Torreon, most of the conferees were of the opinion that the Carranza government would logically be entitled to recognition. Enrique C. Llorente, representative of General Villa, expressed confidence that within three weeks there would be ample proof of inability of Carranza to control the territory he claims. He would not state what plans for a guerilla campaign had been made, but it is understood that General Villa, occupying Chihuahua as a base, will send flying columns into various parts of the republic and by a series of sensational dashes endeavor to show the helplessness of Carranza. There also will be a renewal of activity by the Zapata forces in the south. Internal Trouble In Russia. Berlin.Stockholm dispatches say the socialists deputy Tcheidse and seventeen other members of the Russian duma have been arrested. The duma buildings in Petrograd and all the railway stations have been occupied by the military, the advices add.

MEATCARGOES BRITISH PRIZE COURT DECIDES AGAINST PACKERS. $15,000,000 Loss On Cargoes Which British Claim Were Intended for Cargoes. for Germans. London.—The British prize court condemned the greater part of the American products forming the cargoes of four steamships. The products, valued at several millions of dollars, are declared forfeited to the crown. The judgment was delivered by Sir Samuel T. Evans, president of the court. It involves the cargoes of the Norwegian steamships Kim, Alfred Nobel, Bjornstjerne Bjornson and Fridland. All the goods on these vessels consisting principally of the American meat products, are confiscated, with the exception of a small proportion which the court released to claimants. The case has been pending for several months. The steamships were seized last November and although efforts were made by the American owners to obtain an early trial the British court set the trial for June. The hearing closed last month and judgment was reserved until last week. In a lengthy judgment Sir Samuel said it was plain these ships were carrying toward Copenhagen, when captured, more than thirteen times the amount of goods which under normal circumstances would have been taken to that port. That fact gave practical and overwhelming assurances that the goods were intended to find their way to Germany although of course it did not prove conclusively that they were destined for an enemy of Great Britain. one circumstance throwing light on the real destination of the goods, Sir Samuel said, was that the exportation of lard by one American company alone to Copenhagen in three weeks after the outbreak of the war was twenty times more than in periods of peace. As to tins of canned meat he said, it had not been shown they had been sent to Denmark in any great quantity before the war, yet hundreds or thousands were on the way when the vessels were captured. These tins, it seemed, could not have been meant for any persons other than German soldiers. Chicago.—The meat cargoes confiscated by Great Britain will be a complete loss to the packers, according to Thomas E. Wilson, president of Morris & Co., as there were no advance payments made on the shipments. If the confiscation of American meat carges ordered in London is upheld on appeal from the British prize court, Chicago packers will lose approximately $15,000,000 at which the shipments were valued. REPORT OF BELGIAN COMMISSION Belgiums Themselves Contribute Much To The Fund. London.—The first complete report of the commission for relief in Belgium, covering the first eight months of its existence, reveals that in income and expenditure the organization forms the greatest relief movement of history. The commission has collected and distributed $50,000,000, $15,000,000 of which has been contributed in the form of money or gift food by the people of the United States and the British empire and Belgium itself. The bulk of the income has come from other than purely philanthropic sources, but the raising of this enormous sum has been exclusively the work of the commission, which by financial arrangements with Belgium individuals and institutions, exchange of currency with Belgium and a system of providing the solvent Beglian inhabitants has maintained the entire populati. a of a nation for almost a year. A remarkable feature of the report which has hitherto received but little notice is the effort being made by the Belgians to help themselves. Over 50 per cent of the money expended by the commission in benevolence is being furnished by Belgians abroad, and a large amount also is being supplied by Belgians in Belgium. THE TULSA STAR ALLIES WANT A BILLION $ LOAN COMMISSION NOW IN NEW YORK TO COMPLETE THE NE GOTIATIONS. PRO-CERMAN BANKS TO HELP But Sentiment In the West Is Not Se Favorable.-Germans May Also Take Half a Billion to Tighten Market. New York.-The pro-German element of New York's financial world probably will be invited to participate if they signify that they desire such an invitation in floating the $1,000,000,000 credit loan which Great Britain and France hope to establish in this country. The moneyed faction of this element, Wall Street heard, would be glad to have a chance to help; another faction composed largely of middle western bankers with pro-German sympathies would bitterly oppose participation in raising funds for the use of Germany's enemies even though the money all will be spent in the United States. Heretofore the commission has met and conferred only with bankers who are proudly in their sympathies and connections. Some of the largest financial institutions in the United States, including the big bankir house of Kuhn, Loeb & Company which is second in New York only to J. P. Morgan & Company, thus have been excluded by this policy. Apparently it had been taken for granted that it would be useless to ask financiers with German sympathies to contribute their dollars toward the proposed loan. Such a policy, however, was disavowed by Basil B. Blackett, secretary of the commission. Overtures looking to the possible participation of Kuhn, Loeb & Company in the loan while not made openly, were said to be in the making. James J. Hill, railway builder and financier of the northwest, who has championed the cause of the commission and conferred with J. P. Morgan on the situation, left Mr. Morgan's office for the office of Kuhn, Loeb & Company and there sat down for a twenty-minute talk with his old-time friend, Jacob H. Schiff, a member of the firm. Not at all in keeping with this cheering word was the intelligence received during the day by the commission as to the activities of certain other German sympathizers, chiefly in the middle west. In the gossip of Wall Street pro-German bankers of Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Milwaukee and other western cities would bitterly oppose any action looking to the financing of a loan by American banks. These bankers, according to report were prepared not only to resent the suggestion that they might be permitted to participate but would take active steps to combat the tendency of other banks to lend the money. No one would permit his name to be linked with the report that pro-German sympathizers were prepared to take extreme measures to oppose the flotation of the Franco-British loan, but Wall street heard that the Germansympathizers of the middle west were contemplating as a counter movement the flotation of a $500,000,000 loan here for Germany with the sole purpose of withdrawing this vast sum from the money markets of America and making it unavailable for the allies. This was not the only retaliatory measure expressed in the form of a Wall street rumor. It was said that the more partisan workers were prepared to advocate that the pro-German depositors show their displeasure with any banks participating in the proposed credit loan to France and Great Britain by seeking other depositories for their funds. It was the opinion of some of the pro-German bankers that the Anglo-French commission had made a grave mistake in placing its requirements so high as $1,000,000,000. Such a drain on the resources of the banks and other financial institutions of the country, they assert, would not only be unnecessary, but would constitute a menace to the moneyed interests of the country. World Series to Open October 8. Chicago. The first game in the series for the baseball championship of the world will be played on Friday, October 8. Ban Johnson, president of the American league, said that it was his opinion that the big series should begin on Friday, one day after the close of the respective seasons, although Garry Herrmann, president of the National commission, is said to favor the day following. The first two games will be played on the grounds of the club winning the toss up. Directors Must Dig Up $6,000,000 Directors Must Dig Up $6,000,000. Chicago.-Judge George A. Carpenter of the United States district court ordered the receivers of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad to start action against present and former directors of the company for the recovery of $6,000,000. Under the court order the proceedings are to be instituted in the federal court of the southern district of New York. The suits for recovery are to be based on the transactions arising from the acquisition and subsequent divorcing of the "Frisco lines." E. H. Ruth Shepley is a dyed-in-the-wool outdoor girl.

San Antonio.—Suit to recover $67,000 life insurance in three companies was filed in the Thirty-seventh district court by Mrs. Emma Koehler, widow of Otto Koehler, the millionaire brewer, who was shot and killed in this city November 12, 1914. Koehler was shot to death in the home of Miss Hedda Burgemeister, a trained nurse, who admitted committing the deed. She was indicted and later released on a habeas corpus hearing in $7,500 bond which was forfeited when the case was called for trial. She left a note which was read in court to the effect that she had gone to Europe to accept service as a war nu se. Vergera's Murderer Caught. Laredo, Texas—Apolonio Rodriguez, a former captain in Victoriano Huerta's army, was lodged in jail here by Texas rangers on a charge of s.calling thirteen horses from Clementes Veygera, a Texas ranchman in February, 1914. Veygera was endiced by Mexicans to an island in the Río Grande on Feb. 13, 1914, by the statement that he would receive payment for thirteen horses stolen from his Texas ranch.

The medical faculty was put to shame by a bolt of lightning which the other night struck the farmhouse of Charles A. Burdick, on Washington Ridge, says the Berlin (Conn.) correspondent of the New York herald. The electric bolt destroyed articles in all the eight rooms of the house and did damage exceeding $1,000, but it cured Mrs. Burdick of rheumatism, from which she had suffered for many years. Mrs. Burdick was about to put wood in the kitchen stove when the boft struck her, knocking her down and rendering her unconscious. One of her feet was on zinc beneath the stove. The lightning took a nail out of the sole of her shoe and her foot was severely burned. Dr. Thomas Mulligan of New Britain soon revived her. Today Mrs. Burdick, although suffering from the burns on her foot, was free from rheumatic pains. She does not think the price her husband must pay in repairs to the house too high, but Mr. Burdick is discreetly silent. Some Town. "We're a growing town," said the leading citizen of Painted Post. "I don't know," said the traveling man, "there aren't any more people here than there was last year." "I know that," said the proud resident, "but the Smith twins put on long pants last week." No man is afflicted with the love germ if he doesn't act foolishly. A PAGE FOR LADIES OF FASHION The KITCHEN CABINET and keep for use. Mint is prepared in the same manner. A large bunch of fresh mint, bruised, is placed in a pint of strong cider vinegar. Let stand for two weeks, strain and it is ready for use.

RICE, IN VARIETY. common dish and varied that a few recipes which may give ideas will be welcomed. 7 Simple rice pudding, using three tablepoufels of rice, a quart of milk, sugar, nutmeg and a few raises, put into a baking pan and baked for three or four hours in a slow oven is a most wholesome, nourishing dish which will be good food for the children and one which they like. C Add a few tablespoonfuls of coconut to a rice custard, or a cup custard for a change. Serve a chocolate sauce with plain boiled rice. Maple sugar sauce is another delicious one to use with plain boiled rice. Rice With Fruit.—Rice is particularly good with peaches. Cook the rice and while still warm put into cups with sliced peaches to mold. Turn out and garnish with fresh sliced peaches, serve with sugar and cream. Pineapple is another fruit that goes well with rice. Chop it fine and stir it into the cooked rice, serve with cream and sugar or a sirup of pineapple juice. Rice With Cheese.—Take a half cupful of rice, drop it gradually into two cupfuls of boiling water and add more water as it cooks, if necessary. When perfectly tender let the water cook off, allowing the steam to escape. Make a rich cream sauce, using two tablespoonfuls of butter, two of flour and a cupful of rich milk or thin cream, cook until smooth. Mix the sauce with the rice, adding a cupful of grated cheese. Put into a baking dish and bake until hot. The cheese will be stringy if allowed to stay too long in a hot oven. Rice With Tomatoes.—Cook the rice using a cupful of tomato juice at the last when nearly tender. This will be absorbed, then serve with a well seasoned, strained tomato sauce. To get the juice strain a can of tomato. To get the pulp for the sauce, put the tomato through a sieve. Some of your hurts you have cured, And the sharpest you still have survived, But what torments of grief you endured From evils which never arrived. AROMATIC VINEGARS. Those who enjoy changes in flavor and well seasoned delicacies will keep enjoy changes in flavor soned delicacies will keep on hand a supply of various vinegars. ```markdown ``` Pepper Vinegar—Select 18 pods of red peppers, take out the stems and cut the pods in two; place them in a kettle with two quarts of vinegar and boil it away to a quart. Strain and seal. This is a fine flavor to add to catchup for fish sauce. Many of the herbs used in aromatic vinegars may be raised in the home garden. A mint bed, nasturtiums, parsley, thyme, marjoram and others are all attractive flavors to be preserved in some form to be used in sauces. Dry tarragon may be purchased if the fresh plant cannot be obtained. Allow a half pint of leaves to a quart of vinegar, steep in the vinegar for two weeks, strain through flannel, bottle and seal. Horseradish Vinegar.—Pour a quart of boiling vinegar over one and a half cupfuls of grated horseradish, add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and one of salt and let stand one week, strain, bottle and keep to serve with meat and fish, to flavor salads, salad dressings and many other dishes. Spice Vinegar.—Place the spices in a small bag and take them out when the vinegar seems sufficiently spicy, as otherwise the spice darkens the vinegar. For all these vinegar use cider vinegar for the foundation. Take two ounces each of parsley, thyme, sweet marjoram, mustard, celery seed, and one ounce each of allspice, cloves, pepper and mace; place in a jar and cover with a quart of vinegar; let it stand three days, then strain through a cheesecloth and bottle. Celery Vinegar—Pound three tablespoonfuls of celery seed in a mortar, add to a pint of vinegar and shake every day for two weeks, then strain R LADIES OF FA A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of Late N Friends of the Tulsi IN A SIMPLE DESIGN REMARKABLY PRETTY JACKET AND SKIRT COSTUME. Plaid and Plain Taffetta Employed— Touches That Are New and Clever Give Effectiveness to the Two Garments. This pretty jacket and skirt costume is made up in faille with a short jacket of plain rust color and a plaid skirt, with the same ground tone marked off in black. The jacket is cut off midway between the waist line and the hips and stands away from the figure across the back and sides, but in front the material is cut to form straps that cross over the bust and hook together around the waist beneath the over-hanging back. Black taffeta is run through eellets in the front and car THE WINTER COAT ried around the waist with the straps to tie in a bow that hangs a bit below the edge of the jacket in the back. The collar is an upstanding turnover, faced with white moire, and there are tiny lapels of the same. Long sleeves are finished without cuffs, but show bias folds of white moire extended over the wrists. The skirt is quite a simple model of slightly gored breadths laid in deep side folds around the belt. In a blue and green development this design will be sure to please, especially if brightened up with nickel buttons and the same touch of white moire at the wrists and neck. In many cases these suits made up in two materials have a shallow blouse or jumper of the skirt material that can be used as a third piece, worn over a guippe of white net or chiffon to vary the monotony of a plait-tailored skirt and blouse. The simplest designs for these are often most effective, such as the rather broad suspender straps cut in one with a deep girdle that hooks in place over the guippe, and the skirt serves as a connecting link in the design. THINK THIS ADVICE OVER Actress Recommends Women to Dress Their Character Rather Than Their Figure. Dress your character, not your figure, is the advice of a famous actress —and rather surprising this advice seems at first hearing. But think it over well and the excellence of the idea will appeal to you. Every woman has a certain individuality of her own—a temperament, if you will— that makes her a little, or perhaps a good deal, different from all other women. It is the individuality—this temperament—that women should dress up to, according to the actress, in order to make the personality more marked and convincing. But an instinctive carrying out of this advice with no heed to the promptings of reason may result in disaster. For example, there is always the woman who weighs 200 pounds or thereabouts, but whose personality is distinctly kittenish. Is she to dress her character or her figure? There is also the very little woman who ought to belong to the If you have a kind word—say it, Throbbing hearts soon sink to rest; If you owe a kindness—pay it, Life's sun hurries to the west. Days for deeds are few, my brother, Then today fulfill your vow; If you mean to help another, Do not dream it—do it now. PALATABLE DISHES hey should be served at least once a week, if not ofteren. They are especially good cooked, then chopped and seasoned with butter, salt and a dash of lemon juice. Serve hot. Carrot Patties. — Put six boiled potatoes. Not what we have done avails us.

Cophride GINGER CAKES AND COOKIES --- Hot Water Gingerbread.—This is a recipe which might be called "Never Fails," for it is the most satisfactory one of Nerie Maxwell OF FASHION Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on Inter- National Fashions Tulsa Star E DESIGN cuddly, appealing class, who yearns to be impressive and stately. If she insists upon wearing the garments of the grenadier woman she may spoil her chances of being lastinatingly charming. But between these two extremes there is a very happy medium and in this idea of dressing up to one's type there is also a very valuable suggestion. The importance of reflecting personal individuality in costume is appreciated by many women who design their own clothes and hand the designs to tailor, dressmaker and milliner to reproduce in practical guise. The actress in her part is always dresse. In conformity with the character she is portraying, but her costumes—and there is an important point—are made to suit her figure lines while expressing a special sort of personality. Therefore, if the delightful flouences of the 1830 period suit your type exactly, but are a bit trying to your too solid figure, adopt the flouences, but see to it that they are so cut and so arranged that the line of the silhouette are right. FOR THE SWEATER JACKET New Silky Material Is Declared to Be Ideal to Make Useful and Popular Garment. A sweater coat de luxe was made of black and white taffeta with cuffs and collar of ermine and large buttons of carved ivory. This coat was to be worn over white linen or white muslin skirts and in conjunction with a little pierrot hat in white felt or a broad brimmed tailor in pure white linen. For those who do not care to spend much money on dress just now the following hint may be useful: White rabbit skin in a good quality makes ideal collars and cuffs for sweater coats; the same may be said of musquash. The loveliest sweater jackets are seen made entirely of the silky material which the French call "cristalline," the coats being lined with the same material and, therefore, reversible. In ivory white, with handsome white silk tassels on the ends of the sash, a cristalline sweater would look lovely if finished off with a white fur collar; it would, of course, look equally well finished with a collar of the material itself. Cristalline looks very like Jersey silk and it is quite inexpensive. Blue and White Footwear Black and white footwear has been rather overdone in the last few months, although it is still worn by very smart women. But blue and white footwear is not only newer, but less likely to be overdone than black and white. There are some charming blue pumps (navy blue, of course) touched with pipings and bands of white kid, and these are worn with navy blue silk stockings, showing white clocking or narrow stripes of white. This blue footwear is, of course, worn with navy blue frocks. The Princess Frock. Is in effect. Not the old one. Which was hideous. Will not have curves. Or at least, not exaggerated ones.

BOOST A LITTLE BIT Anyone almost can be a knocker; It's easier to tear down than to build, So why not try your best to be a booster? With pessimists the world's already filled. You can't expect that things will always suit you; In melancholy judgment then you sit? No. Better far to help along a little; Better far to boost a little bit. It never pays to join the anvil chorus, Or spread unkind reports about your town; Many there are who hamper and retard it, Who do their level best to run it down. What if it has its little failings? It has its good points also, hasn't it? So why not to the wheel adjust your shoulder; Why not get out and boost a little bit? A churlish dog may bay the moon in anguish; The frog must croak, for nature willed it so, The mules were placed on earth to do the kicking, (As any good zoology will show); The good Lord has provided for the knocking, So if a wider groove you long to fit, Adopt this as a motto: "BE A BOOSTER"! And then get out and boost a little bit.

SOCIETY OWES NO MAN A LIVING unless he works for it. Then how is it that people who do not work can live in luxury through ownership of nature's bounties? And how is it that those who actually do work get but a poor living, when they get any at all? CHICAGO is about to establish a municipal wood yard so that "no one may get food or lodging without working for it." Will that rule be applied to the ten families that own one-twelfth of the city's land values? If not, why not? A FIGHT FOR GOOD WOMEN ANY MAN who is low and mean enough to neglect his own wife for any other woman is not a good citizen. And any female mishap who is so debased and debauching as to find pleasure in luring and enticing a poor weak fool from the highways of common decency and robs an innocent girl wife of all that her wayward husband owes her, while she in her vileness poses as a respectable woman, is a thousand times worse than the worst woman in the red-light district of any city. We have just such cases in Tulsa and the Star is now preparing to turn on the searchlight. We are bitterly opposed to this kind of living and in our fight against it will not give quarters to anyone. We do not propose to fight under-handedly either. We are charging our big guns with hard facts and when we train our guns and fire there will be no escape for those who are so unfortunate as to be in the way of our missles. This fight will not be made out of enmity for anybody, but rather out of love for public decency and domestic peace and happiness. This will really be a fight for the goodwomen of Tulsa. Fort Worth. FOREWARNED—FOREARMED. A GIRL HAD A PROPOSAL of marriage Sunday night, and asked a week to consider it before answering. She then organized herself into an investigating committee and began taking the testimony from married ladies of her acquaintance. Th first one she visited used to be a belle and the most admired girl in town before she married six years before. The cross-examination brought out the fact that she had six children, did all her own work, including washing and ironing, and hadn't been down town for four weeks, and that her husband had given her but $2 since she married, and that he had borrowed and forgot to pay back $10 which her brother once gave her for a Christmas present. He bought himself a new overcoat with the money, while she wore the same plush coat which she wore when he was courting her. Another woman whom she visited quit teaching school three years ago to marry "the handsomest and best'dressed man in town," and she was supporting him. A third didn't dare say her soul was her own when her husband was around, though she use do write some lovely essays when she was at school on the "emancipation of women," and the fourth woman she visited was divorced. After visiting them and summing up the evidence, she went home and wrote the young man. She will be married next month. THE TULSA STAR " NO PLACE LIKE HOME."

Brady Tulsa, Okla. The laboring man is satisfied with a cottage, the business man with a comfortable convenient house that meets the needs of his family, and the men we call wealthy, must live in a mansion, but the same term HOME applies to each one. The single tax system is primarily in the interest of the HOME. Many a laboring man could buy a lot, if it was priced at its real value, and borrow the money to build him a home, if he did not have to pay taxes on the house after it was built, and interest on the money he had to borrow to build it with. He could manage the interest, but when it comes to paying both he can just as well pay rent.

If the man's views were not distorted, he would see that he couldn't afford not to advertise. Refusing to advertise is his most expensive extravagance. That same merchant will spend hours telling of the "unfair" competition of the mail-order houses who are his most aggressive and dangerous competitors, yet the methods employed by the mail-order houses which succeed are the very ones which the merchant refuses to use. The mail-order house first of all is an ADVERTISER. Advertising is the life of its business. Every magazine that enters the small town and rural home carries the ad of the mail-order house. Expensive catalogs are printed showing the illustrations of the actual articles. Occasionally sheets are scattered broadcast over the country as a special "come-on" for the bargain hunter. Instead of doing these things in a smaller way through the columns of his local paper, the merchant who can't afford to advertise sits down an d"cusses" his tough luck and wonders why he can't get the business. He never thinks he has a better opportunity to reach the people in his neighborhood than the mail-order house has. It doesn't cost him as much as it does the outsider; he can draw the people to his store and show them the actual article he is advertising, and, when they buy, they can take their purchase home with them instead of having to wait for several weeks for it. Advertising is an investment. It should be charged to your selling cost. Figure what percentage you have to pay to advertise, then base a fifty-two weeks campaign on the computation. You can't lose.

Phone 931 Tulsa, Oklahoma Phone 2112 THE TULSA STAR INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By O. E. SELLERS, Acting Director of The Moody Bible Institute, OBEDIENCE AND KINGSHIP (REVIEW). LESSON TEXT—Psalm 72. GOLDEN TEXT—The king shall joy in thy strength, O Lord, and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice. Ps. 21:1. The subject assigned for this review lesson is aptly chosen, for the kingliest quality or virtue passed by any king is to be obedient. The servant who truly serves is obedient. The motto of the king of England is "ich dien"—I serve. Gen, R. E. Lee once said that for him the greatest word in the English language is the word "obey." We read of our master that he "learned obedience by the things he suffered" (Heb. 5:8) and he taught that "if ye love me, keep (obey) my commandments" (John 14:15). the lessons for the past quarter cover an approximate period of about 125 years beginning probably B. C. 1024 (Beecher). In them there are presented nine rulers; David, Solomon Rehoboam, Jeroboam, Asa, Ahab and Jezebel from within, and two from without Israel, the Queen of Sheba and Ben-hadad, king of Syria. There are also five prophets mentioned, Nathan, Ahhah, Azariah, Obed and Elijah. It might be well for teachers to distribute blank pieces of paper and ask the scholars to write a brief outline of the outstanding facts regarding these rulers, also of Nathan and Elijah though the last will more properly come later as there are yet several lessons about that great prophet These kings can be classified as good and bad, though the greatest of them all (David) suffered a most terrible fall. From these lessons the great facts of sin, grace, prayer, the word of God, faith, salvation and unbelief are all to be emphasized. For the older classes a most interesting study can be made of the development of God's people materially and the religious development also as well as a study of the causes for the division of the kingdom. The tendency in both kingdoms was downward towards the destruction of the northern one and the captivity and impoverishment of the southern. A good method of review would be to take up each of the different characters and give a summary of his life and of its effect upon the nation. I will be profitable to answer such questions as: What do the events of the past quarter teach us about the character of God? What great teachings have we had presented on the subject of prayer? What peculiar manifestations have been seen in the development of sin? In this quarter's lessons what emphasis has been made relative to the word of God? What moral duties and obligations have been emphaized? If a good crayon artist is available prepare on the blackboard 12 circles, five above, five below, and one each end of a rectangle. In this last place the Golden Text for the day and in each of the circles, beginning in the upper left hand corner, either a sketch or some other suggestion of each of the several lessons. Another suggestion for use upon the blackboard would be to draw two panels or columns on either end of the board and connect the tops by an arch Divide the arch into five divisions and in the top, the keystone of the arch place the name of good King Asa, to the left Absalom and Adonijah, and to the right Elijah and Ahab. On the left panel write "The Word of God" and on its capstone "David." On the right panel write, "Obedience," and on the capstone "Solomon." Then underneath the arch and between the panels first the names of the remaining chie characters belonging to Israel, and below, but separate, those from without whose names have been considered during the past quarter. This arrangement of names might be so made as to call attention to the separated kingdoms of Israel and Judah, using the arch for the names of the characters affecting the kingdom before its division. The Cannot grind good food health from food and drink Right food—the king quires, goes a long way to on The Road to W This road leads to and long life. Again the board may be ruled into two columns, one to contain the namer of the "chief persons," and the other the "chief facts." Divided according to lessons they will be about as follows: Chief persons 1, David, Joab Abishal, Absalom; 2, David, Bath sheba, Zadok, Nathan, Solomon, Adoniah; 3 and 4, Solomon; 5, Solomon, Queen of Sheba; 6, Rehoboam, old and young men; 7, Jeroboam; 8, Azariah, Asa; 9, Elijah, Ahab and the widow of Zarephath; 10, Elijah and prophets of Baal; 11, Elijah and God; 12, Benhadad, Ahab, young men. Chief Facts—1, failure; 2, anointing; 3, choice; 4, prayer; 5, wisdom; 6, division; 7, sin; 8, reform; 9, providence; 10, testing; 11, discourage; 12, defeat. Thus by careful and prayerful preparation a review of each lesson can briefly but profitably be presented. The material for a successful review along any of the lines suggested will demand careful preparation on the part of the teacher, but will be well worth while in fixing the chief facts in the pupils' mind while it also will test the sort of work the teacher has been doing. --- LESSON TEXT—Psalm 72 The Best Mill Cannot grind good flour from poor wheat, nor can the human body get good health from food and drink which is not fitted to the individual. Right food—the kind the system requires, goes a long way toward putting one on The Road to Wellville. This road leads to comfort, happiness and long life.

In that year the French revolution began. Since 1789 Europe has been remade. Among the nations four stand out as "ancent"—England, Russia, Denmark and Spain. Yet in the past century and a quarter those countries have lived through governmental changes that show beside the stability of the United States rule as exceeding large and significant "shifts." Year After Year. "They can't fool all the people all the time." "But the summer hotel proprietor manages to stick us for two weeks of it." "It's a case of love at first sight."

Because some London streets are too narrow for motor omnibuses to be turned around, vehicles are being tried with controlling apparatus at each end. HOSTETTER'S Stomach Bitters As we approached the city on the river boat my companion pointed to the lowlands on either side of the river and said: "Here is where most of our sparagus is raised." Then he added with a faint smile: "And here is where they had the great conflagration of asparagus." "Conflagration of asparagus?" I repeated. "What do you mean?" "Oh, the prices weren't high enough to suit the controllers of the market. So they burned up a few dollars' worth of asparagus to limit the supply." Lately I have been seeing a man who spent the summer fishing with nets, not for pleasure merely, but for a living, writes John D. Barry in the New York Telegram. I asked him what kind of living is provided. He shrugged his shoulders. "There's nothing in it for the fishermen," he said. "They're at the mercy of the big dealers. One day, for example, we had a big haul of shad. We left it on the beach to rot, tons of it. There was no use in our sending it to market. The dealers didn't want it. There wasn't enough profit in it for them to bother with it." ing a man thing with ly, but for arry in the asked him vided. He ere's noth- h," he said.

He smiled in derision. "It happens all the time. There's enough fish thrown away every week to provide food for thousands of families." Then he became excited. "The big dealers here have everything their own way. The fish industry is one of the biggest monopolies. It's a disgraceful tyranny. The big dealers pay the fishermen whatever they like. The small fish, such as perch, they hate to have anything to do with. They consider the profit not worth their while. So there's an immense waste in small fish alone. And yet such fish is very good eating and could be supplied cheaply to the people." In Paris there is a great market, called Les Halles. There the French producers from many miles around send their produce. As early as eleven o'clock at night, in the country districts, the rumble of the carts begins, on the way with their foodstuffs to feed the big city. In the early morning the activity in Les Halles makes a great spectacle. Visitors go in swarms to see it. Large quantities of fresh supplies are sold at auction to the hotel and restaurant keepers. And all over the vast place there are booths for sale of produce to the smaller buyers. These include the tradesmen with small shops in different parts of Paris. The market stocked in the early morning, is cleaned out by night. From the producers it exacts a percentage for the sales. In this way the producers and the consumers are easily and conveniently brought together to the advantage of both. In London, at Covent Garden, a similar system exists, and in many of the continental cities. A few American cities are developing large free markets. A great public market ought to exist in every city and it ought to be under the control of the city for the benefit, not of the few, but of all the people. It would protect both those who supply the food and those who consume the food. It would elimi- nor can the human body get good the individual. WON'T MIX Bad Food and Good Health Won't Mix. The human stomach stands much abus but it won't return good health if you give it wrong food. If you feed right you will feel right, for proper food and a good mind is the sure road to health. "A year ago I became much alarmed about my health for I began to suffer after each meal no matter how little I ate," says a Denver woman. "I lost appetite and the very thought of food grew distasteful, with the result that I was not nourished and got weak and thin. "There was no one to shoulder my household burdens, and come what might I must bear them, and this thought nearly drove me frantic when I realized that my health was breaking down. "I read an article in the paper about some one with trouble just like mine being benefited by Grape-Nuts food and acting on this suggestion I gave Grape-Nuts a trial. The first dish of this delicious food proved that I had struck the right thing. "My uncomfortable feelings in stomach and brain began to disappear and in a short time I was again myself.

Neither discloses nationality. These terms have no place in the science of anthropology. But their persistent use with reference to persons of African descent invites attention. The white man tried to make a brute out of the black man. To this end the slave power put the cause of slavery in the slave himself. "The cause, dear Brutus, that we are underlings, is not in our stars but in ourselves." Everything was done to destroy the nationality and hinder the growth of individuality in the captive African. He was called "Negro" to characterize his kind and condition. The word "Negro" then became the trade mark of slavery. It is now a term of contempt. It is so written and spoken. This opprobrious epithet should have been taken away with the bondage and not allowed to remain the deadly weapon of the sycophant and the explorer. It is the strongest barrier to the investiture with citizenship of the African dwelling in America, whose long domicile, fidelity and toll have given him an incontestable title to the most honorable distinction of American citizenship, writes Charles Hatfield Dickerson in the Chicago News. Also "colored people" in the public mind are nondescripts. None of these names is respectable. Let them be abhorred. Let us all have the good and proper name and patronymic "African," "of African descent" and "black," if you please. For I behold the time when black skin will be as fashionable as black cloth and as valuable as sable. There are those whose ignorance of the glory and grandeur of Africa makes them ashamed of their mother country. But I have sought and found her the workshop of nature, the cradle of man, the undoubted source of the civilization of the whole world. Of this I am confident. Plato thanked God that he was a man; that he was a citizen of Athens; lived in the age of Pericles; had the friendship of Socrates. So do I thank God that I am a man, conscious of the high destiny of man, clambering with my fellows up the cloudy summits of our times; am a citizen of this great republic; live in the world of Chicago; in the reign of Woodrow Wilson, a man of philosophic mind, who has lingered with the muses, learned and written the grand march of the American people and presides over their destiny with dignity and grace. And I am proud to live in the era of Theodore Roosevelt, a man of great amplitude of mind and vigor of body, who has traversed the globe, enlarged our intellectual empire and has now become the ubiquitous political genius of the republic. There is a well authenticated case of a Negro who was once as black as the ace of spades but whose skin all over his body is now a pinkish white with the exception of a few point specks on his face, and these are disappearing also. It is one of the rare cases known to medical science and dermatology where the affection known to physicians as "leukodermia" is universal. The man is Adolphus Setzer, an ex-slave of Newton, N. C., where he was born and reared. He belonged to the large estate of the late Reuben Setzer, who owned much land and many Negroes before the war between the states. Up to the time Setzer was forty years old his skin was Midway between the sandy beach at Ocean View, on the southern side of Hampton Roads, and Norfolk, a rapidly growing southern metropolis, there has been developed, in the heart of a rich farm-trucking region, an attractive Negro community, called Titustown, in which all of the people own their own homes and not a single renter is found. In Titustown Negroes have had the opportunity of buying high-class property at a low price, building comfortable and attractive individual houses on easy terms, and living happy lives in a refined and attractive community. It was in 1901 that a commission of ten or a dozen colored men came to Augustus T. Stroud, a white lawyer of Norfolk, who had recently graduated from college. They asked that some land should be bought and resold to Negroes for home sites. The Negroes had heard the summons "Move on" and sought the good offices of a southern white man whose family had long had a deep interest in the welfare of Negroes. Men who in the beginning had very The most remarkable relief map in the world is in a public park in Guatemala City.

When a man is caught with stolen fruit the other men stand around and criticize its quality. coal black. He is of pure African descent and nowhere in his family is there a trace of white blood. When he was about forty years of age, he contracted a most malignant case of malarial fever in Cabarrus county, North Carolina, and was brought home on a wagon, quite a distance, so that he might die with his family. Local physicians attended him and eventually he got well of the fever, but leukoderma made its appearance and during the last 40 years—he is now an octogenarian; the affection has gradually spread until today, with the exception noted, the entire surface of his skin is white with a pinkish tinge. Leukoderma is described in the books as a condition in which the pigment-forming tissues have lost their function of making and furnishing pigment to the skin. This is brought about by trophoneurosis and is often associated with neurotic disturbances. In short, it is due to the nerves, and in this case the nerves of the man be came affected by the toxic poisons of the malarial attack. Leukoderma is not at all uncommon among the dark races and is particularly a disease of the tropics. Dermatologists have found many cases where the affection has attacked a portion of the skin surface, making what is known as "pie bald" Negroes. But the cases in which this affection has become universal over a man's body are very rare, and this case is very interesting to specialists and the medical frater nity generally because of its rarity "Uncle" Dolph, as he is called by white and black, has always been a respectful, respectable and respected Negro; has been industrious and raised a large family. He has good eyes and a good memory and can recall many incidents of slavery days and of the war. He helped build all the older buildings in the place and is the oldest citizen, white or black who was here when the town began to take shape three-quarters of a century ago. I beg leave to suggest herewith that colored men be utilized to help man the navy. The Negro has proved himself loyal to "Old Glory" if anyone has, and he should be represented in the navy as well as in the army. If white sailors and marines should object to their company on board ship, why not allot certain ships to them as certain barracks are allotted to them in the army? The plan of nomenclature in the navy is to name battleships after states, cruisers after cities and gunboats after famous battle fields, but with the colored units a new system could be used. For instance, the government might turn over to the colored sailors such battleships as the Alabama and Mississippi or such cruisers as the Suwanee and the Dixie. Among the Negroes may be found plenty of good loyal material and I will wager that if they are called upon no one need ever blush for the record their ships may make.—H. T. Hughes, in the Chicago News. There are 24 Methodist Episcopal churches in the United States reporting a membership of more than 1,500 each.

A commercial wireless service has been established between stations in Peru and Brazil. crude ideas of what a home should be, have gradually been 'bod out into a finer conception of that a home can be made through persisent thrift and constant effort to improve the physical condition of the house, the yard and the fences. What the Negroes of Titustown have done so quietly and so effectively, with the sympathetic co-operation of Mr. Stroud through a long period, can and should be repeated, with necessary modifications, of course, wherever there are large numbers of Negroes who should have better housing.—Southern Workman. Because of the scarcity of clocks in West Africa, events are timed by the regular daily occurrences.

A Louisville attorney and a railroad man who has his "stop-over" here went to a theater the other night. The railroad man saw a flashily dressed, red-faced, sporty-looking individual sitting in one of the boxes. "Who is that tough person sitting in the box?" the railroad man asked pleasantly. "He looks like a drunken burglar." "That," said the attorney, "is my cousin." The railroad man gasped a couple of times before he could get a grip on himself.

Today I am a well woman and I know that Cardul . . . has cured me . . . I can do all my own work and washing and house cleaning now without ever giving out.

When General Miles was a the head of the army he used to be continually besieged by cranks with pneumatic firing guns, dirigible war balloons and other martial inventions. But the general would weed these cranks out with admirable speed. An inventor in his office one day tells of a curious incident in this relation. A card was brought in and laid before the general. "Oh, send him in," said Miles. "His business won't take more than a minute or two." So in came a wild-eyed, long-haired man twisting his soft hat nervously in both hands. "General," he said, "I have here"—and he took out a small parcel—"a bulletproof army coat. If the government would adopt this—" "Put it on; put it on!" said General Miles. And he rang the bell. The clerk appeared as the inventor was getting into the coat. "Jones," said the general, "tell the captain of the guard to order one of his men to load his rifle with ball and cartridge and—" "Excuse me, general," I forgot something," interrupted the inventor. And with a hunted look he disappeared. The reputation of children for telling the truth about their elders was enhanced in Massachusetts recently when Governor Waish, attending the dedication of a public building, addressed a number of pupils in the elementary grades. By way of giving his youthful audience an object lesson in various forms of patriotic service, the governor pointed to his military aid, who was in a gold-laced uniform, and asked: "Who is this man?" "He is a soldier." "What does he do?" "Fights for his country." "Who am I?" "The governor." "What do I do?" "Nothing," chorused the children, who, incredible as it may seem, had not been coached beforehand. What Women Will Do. Suppose you tried to think what fashion never could do.
