Whites Not Desired as Guardians For Negro Children Vol. 3, No. 51 Churche Whites Not Desi ians For GAL FOUR—STAR The Northeast Oklahoma A. M. E. Conference and the Baptist State Convention Met in Tulsa and Okmulgee Last Week and Passed Resolutions Endorsing The Tulsa Star in Guardianship Fight and Both Bodies of Christian Workers Have Pledged Their Moral and Financial Support. Bishop Chappelle and President Westbrook Will Issue Proclamations Designating a Certain Sunday for the Pulpit to Join the Star in Great Campaign. That the Colored people of Oklahoma are opposed to the practice of appointing White men guardians of Negro children and heartily endorse the Tulsa Star in its fight against this practice was signally shown last week when two great religious conventions met in this state and passed resolutions endorsing the Star and pledging moral and financial support to the Star in the fight against this custom. Without a single dissenting vote the resolution was passed in both conventions and some time in the near future all the Colored churches in Oklahoma on a certain Sunday will join in the fight with the Tulsa Star with the object in view of creating a strong sentiment in this state against white men acting as guardians for Negro children. The resolution as passed by the A. M. E. Conference of the Northeast Oklahoma District, follows: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, There are hundreds of wealthy minor Negro children in the state of Oklahoma, owners of producing oil and gas lands, whose income amounts to several hundred thousands of dollars monthly, and WHEREAS, the law of this state provides that such children shall have legal guardians to judicially handle and protect their wealth and interest, and WHEREAS, it is an established custom and practice in Oklahoma for the County courts to appoint white men guardians of these wealthy Negro children to the utter exclusion of competent Colored men, and in many cases in contempt and disregard of the wishes of the parents of such children, and, WHEREAS, under existing political, economic and social conditions in this state it is almost impossible for Negro children to receive the proper care, attention and consideration from white men as their guardians; and WHEREAS, such practice is detrimental and antagonistic to the best interest of the race in Oklahoma and is enriching hundreds of white men at the expense of Negro minors, who are coming up under a band of social ostracism and political oppression from the hands of white men; and, WHEREAS, THE TULSA STAR, the recognized leading race journal of Oklahoma, has launched a vigorous campaign against this practice and advocating the appointment of Negro men as guardians for Negro children; and WHEREAS, the said TULSA STAR is a worthy race paper deserving the support of every race loving family in the state. Therefore: BE IT RESOLVED, that this convention go on record as endorsing THE TULSA STAR in its position on the Negro Guardianship matter, commend it for its fearless stand for advocating justice and fair play for our race and pledge to said journal our moral, and, so far as possible, our financial support. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be sent to the newspapers of the state and a copy reserved for the records of this convention. Respectfully submitted. J. R. McBETH, Atty. at Law. The same resolution was passed by the Baptist State Convention at Okmulgee. Both conventions were attended by a large number of delegates and visitors and leaders of the race of national fame were visitors at both conventions. A great deal of excitement characterized the Baptist Convention at Okmulgee, occasioned by an undercurrent of factional feeling growing out of the recent Chicago fight. The Morris people were in the majorit, however, and took the convention by storm defeating president Rev. S. S. Jones of Muskogee, who for the last eight years has seemed im- Let's call a Meeting of our Local Business League! movable and landing the entire pro-Morris ticket as follows: B. J. F. Westbrook, Oklahoma City, president; N. A. Robinson, Rentlesville, 1st vice president; T. T. Love Wagoner, 2nd vice; P. R. Neal McAlester, Secretary; J. A. Anderson, Okmukgee, Corresponding Secretary; H. C. Reed, Muskogee, Treasurer, S. A. Clark, Guthrie, Statistician; J. Reves, Enid, Auditor; J. Arlington Wilson, Muskogee, Educational Secretary; F. L. Martin, Tulsa, Atty; Board of Directors; R. A. Whitaker, Tulsa, L. W. Smitherman, Grant; J. W. Jones, Guthrie; E. W. Perry, Oklahoma City and E. B. Weaver, Muskogee. At the Chicago convention expresident Jones took a decided stand in the Boyd ranks and it is said by leers in the church that this more than anything else was responsible for his defeat last week. As it was he was beaten by only about 15 votes. Rev. Westbrook is a strong man in the Baptist denomination and his ascendency to the head of the Baptists in this state puts him in line with the naticna. characters. The A. M. E. Conference in this city was free of the excitement which marked the Baptist convention, there being no clamor for office because the laws of the two churches are distinctly different. Bishop Chappelle presided over the conference here and under the leadership of this peerless disciplinarian confusion is unknown. Record breaking crowds attended the conference daily. The conference closed Sunday night with a very able and instructive sermon by Rev. Dr. Lowe of Philadelphia, who electrified his audience with his masterful eloquence. Many were unable to get inside the church to hear this wonderful orator but those who heard him will never forget him. The members of the Vernon A. M. E. church of this city were somewhat relieved of a mental strain and anxiety when Bishop Chappelle announced that their pastor would be left in charge awhile longer. Assignments.

New York, Oct. 28.—A national movement to enlist negroes of the United States in a reserve force for use in time of war was launched here today when the Knights of the Constitution were organized, with Darby D. Shirley, of this city as president. The first step was taken a few days ago when resolutions were adopted declaring that "the lessons of history and trend of human events indicates that there is a possibility that the United States will be involved in war at no distant date." It was declared to be the duty of every citizen, regardless of nationality, to be prepared to respond to the call of his country. Organizers of the movement who assert that the negroes fought valiantly in previous wars, say that steps should be taken to organize camps in all states. They hope the 75,000 negroes in New York state will join the movement. Muskogee's Public Library to be Enlarged. (By Miss Della Blanton.) Muskogee, Okla., Oct. 18.—One of the most important movements lately started by the people of Muskogee, is the public Carnegie library. This institution will benefit not only the school child but also the older people. This movement is the resulting work of many far-sighted people who realize the great need for such an institution. It marks an educational advancement of the race in so much as they, too, realize the necessity and value of good books that are worth reading. This institution, while it may be expensive, as some people may say, will doubly repay the expenditure. It will be a library among libraries, independent of all private concerns and valuable to all people. Its location now is not the best site, but it is to be hoped that the small donor on asked of the city as well as Carnegie, will be granted and better accommodations rendered than are obtainable at present. It may be well said that sacrifices are also in demand, sacrifices of time, money and labor in order to make any proposition or investment Popular Muskogee Girl Weds Muskogee Boy at Okmugee Sunday Morning and Journeys Home via Tulsa. Whatever storm and tempest there may have been at the Baptist Convention it was not enough to frighten away little Dan Cupid who lurked about the convention unawares to nearly everyone present during all the stormy period, undaunted and almost unaffected by any outward circumstances. But the close observer, now that the thing has happened, can easily recall that there was a peculiar light of happiness radiating from the face of the chorus conductress, Miss Beatrice Birdell Johnson, but at the time no one guessed the real cause until the arrival at Okmulgee of James Bell who reflected the happiness seen in Miss Johnson's face. At 10 o'clock Sunday morning the happy couple were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony and, so far as they could see their happiness was complete and eternal. Rev. Westbrook's first official act after his election to the presidency of the State Baptist Convention was to perform this marriage. The couple arrived here early Monday morning and went to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Smitherman on North Elgin, where they were later joined by their old friends, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Jackson. After a short rest and a mere attempt at partaking the dinner prepared for them, Mr. and Mrs. Bell left for their home in Muskogee, antic patting and dreading the reception awaiting them there. A formal reception was given the couple by the bride's parents at their home in Muskogee Monday night. a success. Many libraries have already recognized this movement and have given many volumes of books to be added to the present stock Among the contributors are the libraries of New York, St. Louis and Bloomington. NEW BUILDING IN E END A new three story brick building is being erected in the business section on North Greenwood by J. H. Goodwin, a resident of this city. The building will be very attractive and will add much to the general appearance of this section. It is not definitely known at this time what the proprietor will use the building for, or whether he will use it at all, but it is thought that he will conduct a first class undertaking establishment on the lower floor, while the second floor will probably be used for offices. Married 25 Yrs and Still Happy Couple Celebrate the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Their Marriage. In spite of the very inclement weather on Saturday, Oct. 6, the reception in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Rev. and Mrs. D. G. Franklin was a success. Many were prevented from being present but sent their regrets in form of some token suited to the occasion. Both rooms were decorated with white chrysanthemums, ferns, and pot flowers. In fact the house seemed to be turned into a flower garden. The color scheme of white and green was very well carried out, both in decorations and refreshments. There was an arch in one corner of the room decorated with white chrysanthemums and ferns, underneath which were seated the bride and groom. The bride was very tastily dressed in white embroidered voile and the groom in conventional black. The following program was rendered: Vocal Solo, "One Fleeting Hour", Prof. A. J. Scales. Address, Rey, C. Lane. Vocal Solo, "My Heart", Miss E. L. Franklin. Marriage ceremony, revised to suit the occasion was performed by Rev. W. Brown of Guthrie, and Rev. Brown of Anadarko, a cousin of the groom. Vocal Solo, "A Perfect Day", Mrs. T. H. Wright. After the program the guests were served to refreshments by Mrs. T. W. Worefield, assisted by Misses Evelyn and Lillian Franklin. After wishing the happy couple as many more years of happy married life, the guests departed at a late hour for their homes. All expressed themselves as having spent a delightful evening. Among the presents received were: Cold meat fork, Prof. and Mrs. D. G. Horton; silver salad bowl, Prof. and Mrs. A. J. Scales and son; silver gravy spoon, Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Burkes; silver butter knife, Mrs. E. M. Wind sor; silver gravy spoon, Dr. and Mrs. T. H. Wright; silver sugar spoon, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Franklin; silver berry spoon, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Ecton; 2 silver table spoon, Mr. and Mrs. S. Berry; silver offering, Rev. W. Brown. Subscription $1.00 Per Year p Fight! Griggs Talk at Baptist Church NOTED AUTHOR AND ORATOR ADDRESSES AUDIENCE HERE IN INTEREST OF PROPOSED BAPSTIST SCHOOL. Advises Race to Cooperate to Insure Permanent Success in the Business World. "The Right of Search" was the subject chosen by Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, the noted author and orator who addresses an audience in the First Baptist church in this city Wednesday night, and in a manner both interesting and instructive, and at times humorous, the speaker analyzed the fine points of his subjects and dished out some good sound wholesome advice. Among other things he advised the Colorad business men to co-operate, but their heads and money together in order to hold our own with competitions. Cov. Griggs came to Oklahoma to attend the State Baptist Convention which met in Okmulgee last week and stopped over in Tulsa upon his return trip to Memphis where he is publishing "The National Beacon Light," a publication born since the split of the Baptist convention in Chi cage. A good crowd heard Mr. Griggs and a number of those present bought copies of his latest of seven books "How to Rise." A collection of $16.50 was given the speaker and upon his appeal for help in his efforts to establish a theological training school for Negroes for which the Wh'te Baptists of the south have given $50.000.00. silver offering, Rev.

Stradford Notes Dear Editor: I find the citizens of Coweta a fine set of fellows, jovial, generous, kind hearted, loyal to the race and are willing to do anything for the advancement of the race, but they all seem to be bothered with the shorts. The wheat and oats spoiled on account of so much rain and the cotton was very backward in opening and to tell the truth the conditions financially in all of that territory between here and Muskogee among the Colored people is very bad. Red Bird is a place noted for the disciple of the African movement. I was surrounded by a band of these disciples, some whose feet were totering on the brink of the grave, the old, the young, the lame and I might say the blind, who were paying tribute to Chief Sam, and praying for the time to come when that ship which carried Chief Sam and his followers to Africa, would return and convey them to that land where the men won't have to work. The women would have to work only a little, do the cooking and laundering. I became so disgusted with that bunch that I left Red Bird between two trains and arrived at Porter at I o'clock p. m. I found in Red Bird some big substantial citizens. I got several subscribers for the paper and appointed an agent in the person of Mrs. McGowan, the postmistress, who will give us the news of the town. I found in Porter some very progressive citizens, both professional and business men who treated me very courteously. They said that I was about four weeks too soon and if I would come back at that time they (Continued on page four) STE.

Ad ditional troops are being landed at Salontki; Bulgarian ports in the Aegean and Black Seas are being bom- barded and it is believed that men and munitions will be sent to Serbia by still another route.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The most historic exhibition ever opened for the inspection of the public in many ways was the Lincoln Jubilee Exposition of Half a Century of Negro freedom, which w.s. held in Chicago a short time ago, writes Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal church. From President Wilson down leading public men showed a proper appreciation of the necessity for and value of this exposition. The president has been our patron. Governor Dunne and the Illinois legislature made it possible for us to get state financial assistance to the amount of $50,000 while the citizens of Chicago donated $25,000 more. The exposition demonstrated what the Negro has accomplished in his 50 years of freedom. It was divided into 12 departments, as follows: Education, religion, industry, social progress, music, sociology, military, liberal arts, professional, fraternal, athletics and miscellaneous. Out of the mass of statistics regarding the Negro prepared by the commission the following are interesting: 1862 1915. Population—Slave ... 3,953,750 Free ... 487,900 9,828,294 Illiteracy (pct.) ... 90 27 Value of property ... $1,200,000 $1,000,000 Colleges and univ. ... 1 400 No. college grads ... 30 3,000 No. lawyers, physi- clains, bankers ... 0 3,000 No. of newspapers ... 4 400 No. of churches ... 1 31,300 Value of church prop- erty ... $ 500,000 65,000,000 Memb. churches ... 40,000 3,207,305 Children in schools ... 25,000 2,000,000 Land owned by Neg- groes, acres ... 25,000,000 Hospitals, training schools ... 61 Banks owned by Neg- groes ... 72 Value prop. owned by Negro secret societ- ties ... $9,000,000 Per cent of Negroes in gainful occup. ... 62.2 The exposition was international, national and state-wide in its interest and scope. Liberia sent an exhibit, and appointed Professor Starr of the University of Chicago as its official commissioner. Haiti also sent an exhibit. From all the states where Negroes dwell, from 400 schools and colleges—especially the industrial and agricultural colleges—from state departments and from the national government we had exhibits which formed the greatest collection of its kind ever made. The United States patent office sent 1,000 of the devices patented by Negroes. From the library of congress there were 400 books written by Negro authors. We had Charles F. Gunther's Lincoln collection, the most complete of its kind, including the Lovejoy press, which was thrown into the river in Alton, Ill., by an angry mob. This press was in operation. "Why does society prefer the Negro musician?" The question was recently asked by one of your correspondents. If the Negro musician enjoys any preference at all, he does not enjoy it solely because of his color. His color is a handicap, and wherever he achieves success he does so in the face of doubly severe competition. In certain branches of his occupation the Negro musician has been successful: In furnishing entertainment at dinner parties, receptions and other social functions similar in character, and in furnishing dance music. For work of the former kind his services have always been in demand, because of his Health and prosperity threaten to make us a nation of self-seekers. The exaltation of personal ease and comfort menaces our permanent well-being. In military service every abledied young man subordinates his personal interests to the welfare of his nation; it is an act of faith by which he recognizes that the enduring life of his people, with the spiritual values it treasures, is of more importance than his own personal happiness, and that one of the greatest sacrifices he can render by his life is to promote the welfare of his nation. Likewise every woman who is willing to forego personal pleasure and comfort, and incur the risk and effort of rearing offspring, subordinates her own personal interest to her nation and her race. America does not want a Negro army, first, because it would be unfair to ask of any one race any more than its just proportion of service. Then, the white men of American cannot afford to allow the benefits of universal service to slip from them. Physical strength, alertness of body, ability to engage with others in group State Senator Helen Ring Robinson of Colorado brought suit against the editor of a New Jersey newspaper because he published a statement in regard to certain legislation, which, she says, would make it appear that she countenanced vicious and immoral legislation. The Turkish mother loads her child with amulets as soon as it is born, and a small bit of mud, steeped in hot water, prepared by the previous charms, is stuck on its forehead unfailing good nature, his genial, kindly humor and his versatility. Until recently those who engaged in this work were for the most part untrained musicians who relied on their natural talents. In the last few years, however, a new type of Negro musician has appeared in response to the demand for dance music of which the distinguishing characteristic is an eccentric tempo. Such music usually takes the form of a highly syncopated melody, which in the early period of its development was known as "ragtime" music. Since the dance is born of music, it is quite apparent that the modern dance is a creature of the syncopated melody. Thus a new field has been opened to Negro musicians. The Negro's success is due to the following facts: He is a natural musician and throws himself into the spirit of his work with spontaneous enthusiasm; so that the music rendered by a Negro orchestra rarely has the mechanical quality which is fatal to dancing. He has a superior sense of rhythm, peculiarly adapting him for dance music. The art of playing the modern syncopated music is to him a natural gift. He excels in the use of the guitar, banjo and mandolin, instruments which are now being generally adopted by orchestras playing dance music to obtain the "thrum-thrum" effect and the eccentric accentuated beat so desirable in dance music; and he was the first to discover the availability of these instruments for such purpose. In addition to his natural talent in the above respects the modern Negro musician is well trained in his art. He reads readily, memorizes marvelously well, interprets naturally, and not only understands the principles of technique in the use of his instruments, but is remarkably skillful in execution, as is to be expected when one considers that the Negro possesses a rare facility for arts requiring physical skill. Perhaps it is fair to say that the Negro has contributed to American music whatever distinctive quality it possesses. Certainly he is the originator of the highly syncopated melody so much in favor today. Some years ago in Cole & Johnson's show, of which I was musical director, there was a number containing a peculiarly syncopated passage which not a single white orchestra ever succeeded in playing correctly, while colored orchestras played it without effort, unconscious of its intricacies. Such preference as the Negro musician enjoys is therefore due to efficiency which is the result of a natural inheritance and to his application to the serious study of his music. Many of the members of those orchestras whose success your correspondent so much deplores are arrangers and composers—James Reese Europe, in the New York Sun. The stings of bees which attacked him on the arm and wrist near his pulse recently rendered a Burlington line freight conductor unconscious. The venom from these little insects partially paralyzed the man's heart. He is expected to recover. In England special colleges for women have been established at Cambridge and Oxford, affording the same instructions and conferring equivalent degrees to those given at the university itself. effort are developed. Courage, and the moral qualities of discipline and self-control, which are valuable in the ordinary walks of life, are enhanced by military training. Compulsory and universal service, drawing upon the sons of the rich and poor alike, from all parts of the country, without reference to race, color or creed, for our national defense, is in keeping with the advanced social ideal of our time. New York Times. Mrs. Marie J. Howe, wife of United States Immigration Commissioner Howe of New York city, is an ordained minister, a suffrage worker, a playwright and the manager of a theatrical stock company for the production of suffrage plays. Miss Frances Ingram, head of the Neighborhood house in Louisville, Ky., is called the "Jane Addams" of Kentucky. Owing to the shortage of men in the professions, women are now permitted to enter certain universities in Russia. The man who would retain the good will of his friends should remember that there are a great many things he must not forget to forget. Recent experiments have shown that it is possible for the X-ray to find flaws within metal that appears on its surface to be sound.

Similar Wreck Occurred on Exactly Same Spot Fourteen Years Ago—Many Passengers Injured. Chickasha, Okla.—Southbound Rock Island passenger train No. 11 collided head-on with a northbound through freight at the Agawam curve at 1:08 o'clock in the morning, killing seven people, fatally injuring one more and injuring and bruising a score of others. The dead are: B. C. Arnold of Chickasha, a fireman on the freight, who died sitting at his post, but was burned and scalded almost into an unrecognizable mass; Virgel Southward of El Reno, head brakeman of the freight, who was crushed and scalded; Sam Carroll, Chickasha, Olla., fireman on No. 11, died at the Chickasha hospital, never regaining consciousness; Ab Jones of Chickasha, a blind baggage rider; H. C. Kettle, Independence, Kan., and two other unknown men who were riding the "blinds." The trains were piled into wreckage nearly thirty feet high. The two giant locomotives, the largest of their kind on the Rock Island system, were piled with the freight engine lying directly on top of the passenger engine. The wreck was caused by the failure of William Powell, engineer on train No. 11, to take the siding at Agawam and wait for the freight. Fourteen years ago at exactly this same spot two freight trains collided head-on, killing both engineers. Two miles this side of this curve two passenger trains crashed together head-on about three years ago, killing an engineer and a fireman and injuring a number of passengers. TEN MORE MEXICANS ARE "GOOD" Following Attack on Train, Posses Held Off That Mob. Brownsville, Texas.—Ten Mexicans paid with their lives for complicity in the wrecking of a St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico passenger train on the outskirts of Brownsville, the killing of three Americans and the wounding of four others. The death from a bandit's bullet of Dr. E. S. McCain, deputy state health officer here, aggravated the feeling of Americans more than any previous incident in the three months of border raids. He was one of the best known men in the lower Rio Grande valley. Posses which went out in every direction disposed of ten of the robber band. The CARRANZA RECOGNIZED AT LAST Pan-American Governments Follow Lansing's Lead. Washington.—Venustiano Carranza was formally recognized as the chief executive of the republic of Mexico by the governments of the United States, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Guatemala, Bolivia, Uruguay, Columbia and Nicaragua. Each of the governments sent a letter to Eliseo Arrendondo, personal representative here of Carranza. All were couched in the same form and that of the United States added a formal expression of an intention soon to accredit an ambassador to Mexico. -Henry Prather Fletcher, at present American ambassador to Chile, has been decided upon as the next American ambassador to Mexico. Although a republican in politics, he was elevated from the rank of minister to ambassador by President Wilson after a long and successful record in the diplomatic service. Taggart's Case Is Dismissed. Indianapolis.—The case against Thomas Taggart, democratic national committeeman for Indiana, charged with election conspiracy, was dismissed by Special Judge W. H. Eichhorn in criminal court on the motion of Prosecutor A. J. Rucker. The cases of the more than 100 other men who were indicted with Taggart and Mayor Joseph E. Bell were put over to December 1. Mayor Bell was acquitted by a jury last week after a trial lasting more than five weeks. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (Bv E) O, SELLERS, Acting Director of the Bible Institute, Course, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago LESSON FOR OCTOBER 31 THE BOY JOASH CROWNED KING. LESSON TEXT-II Kings 11:4-12. GOLDEN TEXT-The house of the wicked shall be overthrown; but the tent of the upright shall flourish.—Prov. 14: II, R. V. This is a great and most intensely interesting boy's story. For thirty years two great heroes, Elijah and Elisha, fought against Baal. They stood up against kings and people, and fought for pure morals as the champions of Jehovah. Jehoshaphat, a good man, allowed his son to marry Jezebel's daughter and the nation reaped the results. The son of this union reigned over Judah but one year and was slain by Jehu, the destroyer of Ahab's dynasty. Athallah, as dowager queen regent ruled for six years (See 2 Chron. 22). General Jehu wrought in the northern kingdom, hence the temporary escape of this child of Jezebel, the cursed queen. I. Concealment, vv. 1-3. Jehoshheba the wife of Jenolada, the high priest in charge of the temple, is thought to be the daughter of Joram by another wife than Aathiah. She was the agent in God's hands of saving the boy's life and of the final extinguishment of the seed of Ahab. Jehoshheba, as daughter of one king, sister of another and high priest's wife, was familiar with every nook and corner of the temple, and "so a woman's ruthlessness was out witted by a woman's cunning." Farar. Thus God saved the seed of DaVID according to his Word (Psalms 89: 3, 4). II. Conspiracy, vv. 4-8. Athaliah's bloody reign is one of the darkest pages in the history of Judah. She murdered not her own children but her grandchildren to gain, or rather to continue, her rule, for as her son's counselor she was the real ruler of the nation (II Kings 8:26, 27; II Chron. 22:3, 4). God had made a promise (ch. 8:19; Isa. 7:6; Jer. 33:17-26) and that promise must be fulfilled, for no evil can thwart his will. Athaliah is a terrible example of unrestrained heredity. We have here the results of an unholy alliance. This is also an appalling example of the fruit of selfish ambition: (a) upon the nation, (b) on the family, (c) on the individual. As against this picture we see a consecrated woman, a devoted home and the teaching of a pious priest, the final outcome of which was the overthrow of evil. This priest and his wife took certain other traits Joash inherited from his vile ancestors, such as courage, energy, skill and perseverance, and, training them under right and pious environment, turned them to the blessing of the nation. The early formative period of this boy's life was thus spent in such a way as to result in continuous blessing throughout his reign (12:1, 2). III. Crowning, vv. 9-12 (to v. 16). It was a great service the priest and his wife rendered to Judah to save and to train a child. So likewise we are privileged, and those who are truly saved and rightly trained will also ultimately be crowned (II Tim. 4:8; I Peter 5:14; Rev. 2:10). There are two accounts of the coronation ceremonies (see also II Chron, 22:10-23:21); they differ but do not conflict. The five captains and 500 bodyguards wrought a great work on that Sabbath day. Every man in the conspiracy did exactly as told. Joash is brought out at the exact moment. So also will our king appear at God's appointed time. The law is placed in his hands (v. 12, Ex. 25:16; Ps. 78:5; Isa. 8:16, 20). This controversies those who would have us believe the law was not written until Joash reigned. Aside from the law which was placed in his hands a crown was placed on his head and there was also the customary shouting and clapping of hands and cries of "God save the king" (Am. R. V.) which accompany such occasions. IV. Conclusion. (1) Our Young Kings (and Queens). For everyone of our boys and girls there is awaiting a kingdom. Each is surrounded by dangers even as Joash. Their only safety is in God, in the love and power of his holy spirit, the knowledge of his word, the care and culture of his church, the guidance and influence of homes which belong to him. (2) The Bible and the Coronation. The chief and most important part of the coronation was to place the word of God in the young king's hand. "Thy word have I hid in my heart that I might rot sin against thee." It is the royal law, life, lively oracles, food, light and wisdom for king and subject alike. (3) The Anointed King. Symbolically Jonash received the holy spirit that he might know how and have power to live and govern by the law just placed in his hands. (I Sam. 10:16; 16:13; Acts 4:27; Heb. 1:9). Such anointed ones are kings and queens and their lives are a benediction to all the world. (4) The Eclipse of Evil. The one who was most guilty, who took the sword that she might rule, was the first to cry treason. Her cry could not any longer hold back the purposes of God and she miserably perished.

THERE IS ONE IMPORTANT THING LACKING among the Colored business men of Tulsa. That is the absence of confidence in each other. TW OGREAT RELIGIOUS BODIES have joined The Tulsa Star in its fight against white men serving as guardians for Negro children. This means that God is with us and we are sure to win. IT IS NOT RACE PREJUDICE that prompts the Star to start the fight in Oklahoma against appointing White men guardians of Negro children. It is rather race love. It is not that we have less faith in our White brethren to deal fairly and honestly with Negro wards, but that we have more faith in men of our own race. A PROMINENT COLORED MAN of Muskogee remarked last week that "everything being done by the race for its own interest is more injurious than beneficial." or words to that effect. We do not know what prompted such an expression, but we are utterly unable to find any foundation for the assertion. SOME OF OUR LEADERS claim that we are doing everything the white man has done or is doing, but thank God we have not broken into the limelight as train robbers, bank robbers and anarchists, which shows that we are at least keeping pace with the best white people as law abiding citizens. WORK OF SURGEONS IN WAR Prevention of Disease and the Cure of Wounds Has Been Something Marvelous. No phase of human activity and progress has been further developed, perhaps, than the work of medicine and surgery during this great war. Doctor Beaumont of the White Star line, tells the New York Times that after a three months' tour of base hospitals in Great Britain he finds that surgery has become more conservative through the use of the X-ray. Sufficient has the whole hospital service become that men wounded at Ypres were in London hospitals in 12 hours afterward. From the colleges 4,600 surgeons have joined the service, and yet there is need for more. There has been a great decrease in the number of gangrene cases in Flanders and lockjaw in France, where the soil is fertile in nourishing the tetanus germs. Antitetanus serum injected immediately has prevented innumerable cases. Inoculation against typhoid fever is also practiced. There have not been three dozen cases of enteric among the British in this war, while in the Boer war there were thousands. The greater number of the dangerous wounds are caused by shrapnel and high explosives and not by rifle bullets, which pass clean through and do little harm unless they strike a vital part. Doctor Carrel and Doctor Dakin together have discovered a new antiseptic which seems little short of marvelous in its action. One of the most valuable lessons of the war was the discovery of the wonderful usefulness of iodine as an antiseptic dressing. The new discovery relates to the addition of carbonate of lime and boric acid to hypochlorite of lime, overcoming the objections to the latter. Only a few months ago two French physicians discovered a "polyvalent" serum roughly described as a combination of several serums against different varieties of bacteria. Recent news is that most gratifying results have followed the use of this serum. The British Medical Journal says that Americans show faint appreciation of their medical discoverers. It cites our hall of fame, where politicians head the roll, with authors next and fiction writers at the head of them. This fact is emphasized, the New York Sun thinks, by the reflection that the name of Morton, the American discoverer of anesthesia, is probably not so well known as the names of a thousand medicritiles. Eagle River Gold. The first gold mining in Alaska was in the belt near Juneau about thirty-five years ago. Since that date more than $60,000,000 worth of gold has been taken out in this region. The gold-bearing belt was known to stretch 50 miles northward, including the Eagle river region. There are many gold-bearing lodes in the region of this river now under development and many others still awaiting development. --- EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ON RATES $1.00 .60 .35 SURE RESULTS FOR HOME AND FOREIGN ADVERTISERS per year.

Among the county officials of Tulsa county probably none are better or more favorably known than James W. Woolley, the popular sheriff of Tulsa county. A resident of Tulsa county for the past 28 years he knows every nook and corner in the county and is personally acquainted with nearly every voter in the county. His friends are almost as numerous as his acquaintances, because to know him is to be his friend. The sheriff of Tulsa county is a high office but the man who fills the position never feels above the humblest citizen who may go into his office on business. Always affable he never overlooks an opportunity to speak a cheering word to those who seek him out to tell their troubles. For four years he served as one of the commissioners of Tulsa county and not a single citizen has ever complained of his services while in that capacity. He has always stood for the best interest and welfare of the people as a whole of Tulsa county. After four years of good faithful service as county commissioners his friends prevailed with him to run for sheriff, right judging that he would be the strongest man in the county. He announced, made the race and his election followed. Mr. Woolley spent his earlier life in Tulsa county as a rancher, a cattle man, coal miner, etc., and has also took a dip in the oil and gas business. He knows the cow boy life and was at one time a favorite among the cowboys in this part of the country. But since his election to office he has devoted all of his time to the faithful performance of his duties. As Sheriff Jim Woolley has made good to the satisfaction of everybody especially tax payers of Tulsa county, and there is no doubt that he will be favorable consideration by the people of Tulsa county at all times in the future as long as he lives true to the splendid reputation he has established for himself.

The colored people are doing there on a small scale what it will take on a larger scale to redeem us from our dependency along the economics line.

They also operate a grist mill in connection with the factory. I am authority for saying that the canned goods are as good as any I have; eaten. I bought quite a few cans of the goods and have a few left in my home for samples. Mr. Mason says he has no trouble to dispose of the goods canned, and next season will manufacture on a larger scale. Let the Tallahassee Canning Company's goods be seen in every Colored grocery store in Oklahoma. The farmers in that locality are devoting some of their time raising more tomatoes, corn, beans and potatoes. Quite a few are planting orchards which will help supply the plant with fruit to can, as well as vegetables. Muskogee was the next place canvassed. We find there under the circumstances the people are very congenial, although most everybody is broke, except the Baptists and all of them were in Okmugee attending the convention. Consequently the paper business was poor there, but we find that the Star is the foremost Colored journal there.

Dear Sir, Having taken your medicine with sung good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indgestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a conversation, as which the consensus of opinion was not possible. I was told to be a patient for no medical treatment. My mind was made up to have some performed, and I said decided to go to an inflammatory, but a friend heard of my in tentions and advised me not to get to the expense, trouble and probably lose of life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept the greenish mass from my system including a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven I took my friend's advice, and am now up and able to perform my duties. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, and grassy mystomach, and oftentimes had palms in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Washington Fire Department, and will always recommend the most effective treatment.

Good Reasons Why He Should Make Resolution Not to Bring the Sunday Dinner From the City—"Why, Henry!" There was the look of a man with a troubled soul in the face of Mr. Henry Burlison when he reached his home one Saturday evening. The smiling face of his wife did not lessen the look of grim determination in the face of Burlison. A wife with far less intuition than Mrs. Burlison had would have discovered that something had gone wrong, and Mrs. Burlison asked, "Why, Henry, what has happened?" Burlison stepped into the vestibule of his home and dropped the suit case he carried to the floor with a dull thud. His voice had an edge like a blade as he said: "Something has happened that will never happen again if I live to be so old that Methuseliah will seem like a kid when compared with me. This is the last time I save 15 cents by taking that suit case downtown with me on Saturday and bring home our Sunday dinner in it to save express charges—the very last time!" "Why, Henry, what happened?" "Why, Henry, what happened?" "Enough happened to make me tell you that I'll eat my Sunday dinner from an armchair restaurant with glittering white letters on the window announcing frankfurters and mashed potatoes for 10 cents before I'll do any Saturday marketing with a suit case." "But you haven't told me what happened." "You would have seen what happened if you had been with me just as I reached the subway stairs. I s'pose I had forgot to push down the clasps that help to hold the suit case together, and the thing was so crammed full that it was too much for the self-locking arrangement, and the thing opened right at the top of the stairs." "Why, Henry!" "You'd say 'Why, Henry!' if you had seen a six-pound Philadelphia capon traveling down those stairs by three big yellow grapefruit and half a dozen apples!" "Why, Henry!" "A bunch of celery rolled down two or three steps, and a man racing down the stairs stepped on it and slipped, and he threatened to sue me for damages! You will find the print of a woman's boot heel on that pound of butter, and I left the dozen eggs I had bought on the subway stairs, for I would have needed a shovel to have scraped them up after they had rolled down six iron steps! One of the grapefruit rolled between the feet of an old lady going down the stairs, and she gave a yell like a maniac and called for the police! A grinning idiot caught up one of the grapefruit and flung it up toward me, and two other men pelted me with the apples!" "The bottle of maple stirup spread over six of the steps, and the people carried it home on the soles of their shoes; and the paper came off the soup bone I had bought, and I left it lying at the foot of the subway stairs. All is, this is the very last time you ever hear of me saving 15 cents in that way! My lacerated feelings are worth at least a quarter, and—" "Oh, Henry!" "I left half of my stuff in the subway, and the other half will taste bitter to me when I think of that gaping, grinning, giggling, tittering mob that saw me standing there with my empty and open suit case in my hand and all that stuff traveling down the subway stairs!" "Why, Henry!"—Judge. Men's Wrist Watch a Fillyver Men's Wrist Watch a Filiver. The wrist watch for men, at least, has been officially, if negatively, declared to be a "filiver." Even if the classiest looking men you've ever seen wears the time on his pulse, he hasn't the official sanction of the American National Retail Jewelers' association. They closed their convention with the refusal to have anything to do with the bracelet timepiece. It was a fearful blow for the man who introduced the fad who has been extolling the virtues of the wrist watch, especially for the male sex. Neither the advocate of the whimsy nor anyone else proposed that with the sport shirt men might wear watches draped about their necks on a string or a chain. Neither was it intimated that men might carry their subway tickets and cigarettes in vanity cases. Snake Successful Angler That some snakes can catch fish as well as old anglers was demonstrated Sunday on the ranch of E. D. Osborne, near here. A small spring creek runs through the pasture on the Osborne ranch, large enough for fish to play in. Here a large water snake was seen to grab a rainbow trout by the head and make for the tall grass. Osborne killed the snake and threw the live fish back into the pool. The fish was about 12 inches in length.—From the Husum (Washington) Dispatch. The English recruit is expected to put every rifle shot into an eight-inch ring at 100 yards. The territorials must put 80 per cent of all shots into a 12-inch ring at that distance. The French soldier is required to put half of his shots into an 12-inch ring at the same range. $1 J. E.

Wallace was born 28 years ago in Leavenworth, Kansas. Twelve years ago he began his fighting career and since that time has stepped through the ropes 140 times. In other words he has been one of the principals in 140 fights and he has won all of them except 12. Although he has lost 12 of the 140 bouts, he has never been knocked out. He has won from such men as Nat Dewey, Sailor Carrol, Wild Bill Watkins, Young Gibbs, Fighting Dick Gilbert, Kyle Whitney, Dannie Haley, Billy Woods, "Rough House" Ware, Kid George, "Battling" Brant, Johnie Tholmer, and many others. Wallace fought Jeff Clark twice, the first time a draw and the second time Clark won in 8 rounds. He also fought Al Kaufman a ten round no decision bout; and fought draws with Al Neil, Tomy Riley, George Gardner, Terry Mustaine and Al Gray. This is the record of the man who is to meet Harry Lindsay, Tulsa's pride in the prize ring, next Thursday night at the Palm Beach garden. Both Lindsay and Wallace are good men and both feel confident of victory. This will be the best fight ever pulled off Tulsa by fighters of this class and it will doubtless draw a record-breaking crowd. What is a Mule? A newer customs ruling relates to that the animal, the mule. An American contractor took some mules into service for use upon some construction work there, and upon the completion of the contract brought the mules back to Texas. The customs officials insisted upon his paying duty, but the contractor claimed free entry for the mules as "articles of American growth returned without being advanced in value." The officials declared, however, that the board of appraisers has sustained them, that mules are not "articles." What then, are they? If they are persons, they are certainly entitled to come back home. Since the decision that a ban is not a bird, the customs service has got its natural history fearfully and wonderfully mixed. PAGE FIVE Grant MEATS AND GROCERIES ONLY OF EVERYTHING R LINE DELIVERY 301 N. GREENWOOD Muskogee News The latest in the club line among Negro Muskogeeans is the Rifle Sharp Shooters to be composed of about forty members under the command of our well known attorney, W. Scott Brown, who is a man of considerable military training and experience. While this wave of "America First" and "Preparedness" is sweeping the land from shore to shore, it is indeed a very proper idea for patriotic Negroes to give the unmistakeable hint that if they must fight they prefer to shoot rather than to dig trenches. Negroes have not forgotten Port Hudson and Fort Wagner. The Muskogee delegates to the Okulgee Baptist Convention have returned home and are loud spoken of the good time and the great work achieved by the meeting. Of course some are disappointed over the defeat of Muskogee's "Little Giant," and noted Baptist leader, the Rev. S. S. Jones, for the presidency of the association. But his numerous friends are consoled over the fact that he held the post for nine years and set a record that will be difficult for any successor to equal or surpass. Now that the work of the association is off his shoulders, the Reverend will have time to make himself seen, felt and heard in other fields. Just watch the Antioch Wizard. The Tulsa Star articles last week on the matter of appointing white guardians for Negro minors by our Oklahoma county judges, were read eagerly, and set many to thinking, and thinkingly deeply. The scribe has run on the information that the father of little Luther Manuel, $120,000.00 of whose money was sunk in the Severs Block, was not consulted in the matter at all and the father has not even looked over the building. If th's be true it is dead easy to understand why such deals are made. The Post Dispatch of Sunday gives Clyde Box, of Coleman, Texas, the title of champion cotton pickers for having picked 1,0007 pounds of cotton in a day. The P-D then goes on to say that the nearest to that on record is about 800 or 900 pounds, thus clearly overlooking Muskogee's own dear John Williams of the Dallas Express who has heretofore held the title for picking 1,000 pounds a day. The Post Dispatch tale may be true, but all Muskogeeans are from Missouri on the proposition and will have to be shown, the scales, the cotton and the sack. The Oklahoma Baptists at their Okmulgee meeting did a very proper thing in protesting against the location of the School for Incorrigible Negro boys at the penitentiary, at McAlester. The building is said to be within the shadow of the main pen, and surely Oklahoma is big enough in area to find another place for this training school. Muskogee contributed five unfortunate youngsters to this school last week. It is getting quite noticeable in the daily papers here, that when white youngsters are arrested for similar offenses, there are always some palliating circumstances and the white kids are spanked and sent hom. For Negro boys there is nothing doing but McAlester. Presiding Elder R. M. Perrin, formerly the able pastor of Ward's Chapel, was one of the most prominent figures at the Methodist Conference held in Tulsa last week. The Rev. Curry and a large delegation represented Muskogee with considerable credit. "Dress Up Week" was duly observed by the local Negro Fair Association. It had eleven suits. Mr. and Mrs. W. W.

PICKLING TIME. There are so many relishes, conserves, preserves and jellies to make in the fall that one is embarrassed with ideas to try unless a plan is well thought out. An unusual preserve which is well liked is the combination of the small in the fall that one is embarrassed with ideas to try unless a plan is well thought out. An unusual preserve which is well liked is the combination of the small yellow cherry tomato and plums. The acidity of the plum with the rich flavor of the tomato is very pleasing. White Relish.—Chop four quarts of the white inner leaves of cabbage, a quart of chopped celery, one quart of white stringless beans, cut in bits, one quart of silver-skinned onions, chopped. Sprinkle all the vegetables except the onions with salt, using a cupful, cover with cold water and let stand overnight. In the morning drain off the water, add the onions and put over the heat, add a cupful of grated horseradish, one ounce each of mustard and celery seed, three cupfuls of sugar and a piece of whitingger root. Cover with good vinegar and cook until the vegetables are tender; then put into jars. Green Relish.—Take two quarts each of green tomatoes and green cabbage, chopped, one quart of green cucumbers, one quart of green peppers and a few white radishes, chopped. Place the vegetables in a stone jar and pour over then, enough cold water to cover, adding a cupful of salt. Let stand overnight, then drain off the water. Put three quarts of vinegar in a porcelain-lined kettle and three cups of sugar and three small bags containing one ounce each of allspice, clover, pepper, mace, mustard and celery seed. Mixed spices may be used is preferred. Cover with vinegar and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add more salt if not enough has been used. Put in jars and seal. Chili Sauce.—Take 24 large, ripe tomatoes, six green peppers, four large onions, three tablespoonfuls of salt, a half cupful of brown sugar and a cupful of vinegar. Chop the peppers onions and cut up the tomatoes; put all in a kettle and cook one hour. Put in bottles and dip corks in melted paraffin. MORE GOOD GRAPE DISHES A most delicious dessert may be made using the large white or purple grapes.

Skin and seed them and cut in halves, add to a cupful of the grapes four slices of chopped pineapple, a half cupful of almonds, a dozen marshmallows, cut in quarters; a cupful of cream, whipped a nd mixed with two tablespoonfuls of a good boiled dressing to give it seasoning. Serve as a salad or in sheerb cups as a dessert. Grape and Almond Salad.—Remove the seeds from a quart of grapes and cut in pieces; mix with a cupful of blanched almonds, sliced in strips. Add a half cupful of mayonnaise dressing to which a half cupful of whipped cream has been added. Serve on grape leaves. Grape Pie.—Remove the skins from the grapes, bring to a boil and press through a sieve to remove the seeds. Add the skins to the pulp and cook fifteen minutes, then add a cupful of sugar for each two cupfuls of pulp, a tablespoonful of butter and a tea-spoonful of corn starch. Bake in a hot oven with two crusts. Sliced Grapes.—Mash the grapes with a wooden spoon and to seven pounds of the fruit, weighed raw, add one cupful of vinegar after the grapes have been beetled and strained to remove the seeds and skins. With the vinegar, add three and a half pounds of sugar, two ounces of cinnamon and two ounces of cloves, tied in a cheese cloth. Boil the pulp, vinegar and spices together until like a thick marmalade, then put in glasses. Grapes in Melon. — Cut medium sized gem melons in halves; remove the seeds and chill. Fill cavity with shaved ice, sprinkle with nutmeg and sugar and cover with chilled white grapes which have been seeded. These may be served at the opening of the meal or as a finish for dessert. There is no more wholesome fruit to serve as a breakfast fruit than grapes. They supply important elements which build up the blood. THE TULSA STAR R LADIES OF F A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of Friends of the Tuls CURLS TO COME BACK? INDICATIONS THAT THE FASHION WILL BE REVIVED. Style Can Be Made Extremely Pretty If Sufficient Care Is Given to Its Arrangement—Influence of Film Shows. Woman's crowning glory has been the subject of endless experiment. Not in the way of lotions or oint- ments, salves and powders—although from the day of the first shampoo, probably no woman has been quite sure whether raw eggs or cooked shaving soap make the best lather. Yes we experiment with our locks when- ever we wash them, and then sometimes. But woman has never really made up her mind about what hair arrangement she preferred. First she wore her hair down, then up, and then, when she had forgotten the flowing locks were a sign of barbarism—although there are some maidens of the South Sea islands, aren't there, who pile their hair on the top of their heads and keep it there with spikes of bone?—she wore it down again, and, tiring of that, she put it up. Is she going to wear it down again now? Perhaps. For if you are a devotee of the film shows you will know that many of the moving picture stars wear their hair about their shoulders. And the moving pictures are an influence in modern life—even, perhaps, in the fashion of doing the hair. Already some young society girls have copied some of the favorite picture actresses and wear their hair curled about their shoulders. The fashions of the present, if anybody knows just what they are, favor a return of hanging locks. For in 1860—perhaps we shall get our bourbant skirts from that period—and in 1870 or 1880—and maybe we shall get a tight bodice and a certain skirt drapery that suggests a bustle from that time—women cultivated curls and wore them hanging at the neck or about the face. So with our old-fashioned, new-fashioned frocks a curling lock on the shoulder or about the face would be quite appropriate. Was the ugly little wisp of hair plastered like a question mark on the cheek last winter a suggestion of the coming abandoned curl? Who knows? FOR THE SCISSORS AND PINS Useful Little Article in the Home That Will Find Ready Sale at Bazaars. A novel little article and one that bazaar workers will do well to re member, is shown here. The size to A B a certain extent, will be governed by the size of the scissors it is to contain, and for the foundation a piece of stiff cardboard must be cut in the shape shown in diagram A on the right of the illustration. This card is covered on both sides with silk. The next step is to make a flat cushion of the shape shown in diagram B, to fit across the lower part of the card, and in diagram A the dotted line indicates the point where the top of the cushion should be. The cushion is sewed on to the card at the sides and forms a pocket in.o which the scissors can be slipped in the manner shown. The Silk and Velvet Strine The silk of the '80s is revived. Cailot brought it out last summer, but it fell through because there was no way of getting it over here. It has a faile background with broad stripes of velvet going straight across or in a plaid. As the fashion for one-piece frocks will be pronounced, all the lighter fabrics will be in demand for every kind of costume to go under warm coats of fur, or velvet and fur. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. A delicious catchup for winter that is especially fine to serve with fish is the following: BOWTIE Lemon Catchup.—Mix one tablespoonful of freshly grated horse radish with the grated rind of four lemons, add three scant teaspoonfuls of salt, the juice of the lemons, three teaspoonfuls each of white mustard, and cery seed, four cloves and a few dashes of red pepper and boil 35 minutes. This will be ready after standing five weeks. Radish Sandwiches.—Slice thin a few radishes and let them stand in a well seasoned French dressing for fifteen minutes. Remove them and put between thin slices of buttered bread. Serve well chilled. Nut Sauce for ice Cream.—Boll until it threads a pound of maple sugar and a third of a cupful of water, stir in a half cupful of minced almonds of walnut meats and serve hot over vanilla ice cream. Pot Roast.—Chop a small piece of beef suet and brown it in a deep frying pan or kettle. Add a chopped onion and when well browned add three pounds of round beef, cut in serving sized pieces and brown on all sides. The beef should then be well salted and peppered. Remove the meat to a sauce pan and add one and a half tablespoonfuls of flour to the fat and brown; pour in a cupful of water, stirring constantly. Pour this gravy over the meat in the saucepan and cover. Cook over a slow fire for three hours, or until the meat is tender. Turn it often and add more water if needed. Serve with potatoes, carrots and peas. Vegetarian Mincemeat.—The ingredients required are three pints chopped apples, three pints of chopped green tomatoes, four cupfuls of brown sugar, one and a third cupfuls of vinegar, three cupfuls of raisins, three teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, one of cloves, three-quarters of a teaspoonful of mace, the same of allspice, two teaspoonfuls of salt, and three-quarters of a cupful of butter. Mix all the ingredients except the butter. Simmer for three hours, then add butter and seal in glass cans. CHILI SAUCE RECIPES. This is the time of the year to prepare sauces and relishes for winter use. The following recipes will be found most satisfactory: ```markdown ``` Chill Sauce.—Scald and peel 24 ripe tomatoes, chop them with two red (hot) peppers and two green, sweet ones and two large onions. Put into an enameled saucepan and add four cupfuls of vinegar. $1\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of salt, a teaspoonful each of whole allspice, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, ground. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring frequently until the onions are done. This will take an hour. Remove and can in large-mouthed bottles. Dip in paraffin to seal. Chili Sauce.—Twelve large tomatoes, four small onions, three red peppers, two tablespoonfuls of salt, two teaspoonfuls of ginger. $1\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls of vinegar and a third of a cupful of sugar. Boil two hours. Chop the vegetables before cooking. Chili Sauce.—Twelve medium-sized tomatoes, one pepper finely chopped, one onion also finely chopped, two cupfuls of vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of cloves, two of cinnamon, two of allspice and two of grated nutmeg. Peel the tomatoes and slice. Put into a preserving kettle with the remaining ingredients. Heat gradually to the boiling point and cook slowly $2 \frac{1}{2}$ hours. Sweet Mixed Pickle.—Cook all the vegetables separately and keep them as whole as possible. Take two dozen small cucumbers, one quart of white onions, one quart of green tomatoes, cut in cubes; one quart of tender wax beans, one quart of shelled lima beans, not ripe enough to be hard; one quart of carrots cut in strips; two bunches of celery and two heads of cauliflower. Cover the vegetables overnight with a weak brine, then drain in the morning after cooking them in the water. Boil a gallon of vinegar, add two pounds of sugar, a bag of mixed spices, four teaspoonfuls of celery salt. Pour over the vegetables after arranging them in the jars. Nellie Maxwell --- Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on International Fashions THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY In This Model, Jeanne Lanvin of Paris Has Created a Very Charming Afternoon Dress. The Material Is of Gray Crepe de Chine. The Skirt, Which Is Medium Width, Is Gathered at the Waist. A Very Novel Idea in Trimming It Carried Out by the Many Rows of Closely-Shirred Dark Satin Ribbon Which Are Sewed at Intervals Around the Skirt. Between the Rows of Ribbon Are Placed Rosettes of the Same Material. The Waist Is Plain With a Very Full Sleeve Which Is Gathered Tightly a Little Above the Wrist and a Plain Piece of Material Is Used as a Cuff. The Waist and Sleeve Are Likewise Trimmed With the Same Shirred Ribbon. FITNESS MUST BE STUDIED Many Authorities Hold That to Se the Real Secret of Highest Success in Dress. Good style includes always a decent respect for fitness. A sister of charity on the box seat of a park drag in a coaching parade would be hardly more incongruous than the frequent spectacle of a woman wearing a heavy crape veil and other signs of grief at a place of public amusement. The pretty, trailing, clinging gowns are a delight upon the artist dreamer in her studio, but for business and the hustling, bustling walks of life the drapery of a Grecian goddess is incongruous. Fashions as they are launched each season are only tentative samples. Their designers do not intend that they shall be accepted as law and gospel. Those sold in Paris to the professional buyers are the styles each season which "set the fashions" in America. The Parisian style creators adapt their own creations to suit their private customers. But in America, where the ready-made clothing industry has reached such gigantic proportions, copies of the original sample styles are turned out by the quantity. Women who buy them without discrimination look as if they, too, had been turned out of a factory hopper. Women are not uniform in size, shape, complexion and social requirements, and when they dress as if they were, the result is most unsatisfactory. Style has to do with the fashions that are in vogue; it also has a great deal to do with the skillful or unskillful way in which the reigning modes are adapted to the woman who is to wear them, and to her needs.—Mrs. Belle Armstrong Whitney, in Good Health. The whole thing is edged throughout with silk cord, which is arranged in two loops on either side, with the ends that hang downwards knotted and frayed out into tassels. The cord is carried into three loops at the base and again at the top, and the center loop at the top is made rather larger, so that the holder can be suspended from a nail in the wall. The conventional floral design which appears upon the cushion is embroidered in silk and can quite easily be worked from our sketch. Pansies for Brides. A bride lately, instead of orange blossoms, had a bouquet of white pansies. The bouquet had a large tulle bow with a shower of panstes in it, and more caught in the falling ends. ARE YOU SICKLY?

New York City Boston Chicago Pittsburgh Philadelphia Atlanta Cleveland Detroit Philadelphia Gaustafft Kansas City Minnesota Rio San Francisco Seattle London Hamburg Sydney One of the marked features of the European conflict that distinguish it from the wars of the past is the absence of smoke on the firing line. Owing to the use of smokeless powder, no smoke is made when a rifle is discharged, while the heaviest artillery throws off nothing more than a thin mist that is invisible a hundred yards away and disappears within a few seconds after the gun is fired. Only when shrapnel or a shell explodes in the enemy's line is there anything visible in the way of smoke, the whole purpose being to conceal the position of the guns throwing the projectiles while making the points where the projectiles explode clearly visible. The expression, "the smoke of battle," so faithfully descriptive of the wars of the past, has little meaning when applied to a modern war.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

The Encyclopedia Britannica has an exhaustive article on the subject. Crinoline in History The oft-threatened return of the crinoline, prophesied by alarmists of fashion, leaves us all wondering. We find that the crinoline was first worn in the sixteenth century by a Spanish princess, who used it to conceal her love letters from a forbidden admirer. According to pictures of Queen Elizabeth, she was the first to wear it in England, a writer in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch states. Perhaps she wore it for the same reason. She had need of pockets to hide such, provided all her admirers wrote to her. Among her earlier portraits we find that her dress resembled that of Queen Mary, her sister.

In journeying to Assouan from Thebes the traveler cannot fail to be impressed by the two beautiful temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo. The former, situated almost midway in the journey, is of special interest because it is the best preserved of all the Egyptian temples. It was a center of the cult of Osiris, whose death and rising again was celebrated every spring within its close. The festival began with deep mourning. Processions of priests marched around the walls deploring the death of their god in the contest with the evil one. In the sanctuary lay the mummy, personified by a priest, while a priestess who represented Isis wept over her dead lord and begged for his return. At last the resurrection morning came, the mummy arose, and joy reigned among the worshipers. Again processions formed upon the walls and, marching with banners and musical instruments, proclaimed the risen lord to those who stood about. A few miles away is Kom Ombo, the beautiful temple of Sebek, the crocodile god, whose devotees hated the worshipers of Osiris as fiercely as in later times the followers of the prophet hated the Coptic monks whom they found before them in this very valley. Like Edfu, it dates from the days of the Ptolemies, who built both buildings on ancient sites. The rulers of that time were Hellenists, but their architecture was that of ancient Egypt, so firmly rooted in the land were the old dynastic traditions. Persian, Greek and Roman came and carved their names upon the temples, but left no mark upon the unchanging spirit of Egypt. Not even today is there any alteration, for still the houses in the villages are built as of old, and over them rise the pigeon towers, veritable pylons, exactly like the towered gateways of the ancient temples—"Royal Temples of the Nile," by William Warfield in Travel. 1.
