izing soda fountains operated by the
whites he, with several other physi-
clans, opened drug store and from
that beginning we now have seen well
appointed drug stores operated by our
people.
1t was largely through his efforts
that the Douglass hospital was estab-
lished in Kansas City, Kas. He was
! chairman of the committee that raised
$4,000 for the buying of Masonic hall.
He is now one of the most active men,
bers of the Federated Charities, body
composed of colored citizens who look
after the charities of the Negroes of
Kansas City. While he has found that
he made no mistake in his calling from
.
ceded that he has the true profess
sional spirit which bids him answer the
call from which he expects no remu-
neration whatever as willingly as that
from which he hopes to collect large
fee. Many persons name has been
entered in his books from whom the
only fee collected has been a smile
of gratitude and a prayer to our all
Father to bless Tom Unthank.
His wife is indeed a help meet, and
will contribute largely to his success
in his new field of endeavor. His
daughter Louise is a charming Miss
and will graduate in June from Lin
coin High school. His two nephews,
Edgar and DeNorval, whom he rather
regards as his sons and who have for
several years shared the protection
and comforts of his home, will also
receive their diplomas from our high
school at the approaching commence
ment.
The doctor goes into office with the
good wishes of his own people for his
success. They feel confident that his
administration will be all that close
application, conscientious work and
ability of high order can make it.
1t will be gratifying to his many
patients to whom he has administered
so faithfully and efficiently in the past
years to know that they will not be
deprived OF his professional services
for he will be pleased to serve them
at his office, Independence and Harri-
son streets, at the usual hours.

and the location of Malta Military
Lodge 1873, A. F. & A. M, upon a por-
tion of whose members we were to
confer the Scottish Rite and Mystic
Shrine degrees. Only seventeen of
the candidates were present, the rest
being with their troops in the van
guard of the American forces under
General Pershing nearly FIVE hundred
miles beyond the border, under the
leadership of their brave and gallant
Colonel Brown, and their own beloved
Major Young, who is reputed to be
the most brilliant tactician in the
army and an expert marksman of re-
markable accuracy. To say that Ma
jor Young is beloved by his men is
putting it mildly as they not only
consider him a great leader, but we
also consider him the foremost repre-
sentative of his race in America to-

the famous Tenth Cavalry Band lined
up in parade formation at the depot,

a hundred troopers were present to
receive us, as well as Chaplain Prio-

warmly greeted by the madam, who
has become extremely popular by her
gracious manner and pleasing dispo-

After removing the stains of travel
we were called to en- elegant dinner,

DIR. UNTHANK APPOINTED SUPER.
lNTENDENT OF coLoRED
HOSPITAL

AT a meeting of the hospital and
health board Dr. Thomas C. Unthank
was appointed superintendent of the
old city hospital, long merited APP
pointment.
He is a native son of North Carolina
and this grand old state has given
many illustrious sons and daughters
to the race. He received his academ.
ic training at Benedict college and his
professional training at Howard uni
versity. Soon after graduation he
came to Kansas City and began the
practice Of medicine and for eighteen
years he has responded to the call of
suffering humanity. Six years of that
time he was in the employ of the city,
having served under Mayors Jones,
Neff and Beardsley. While engaged
as physician at the old work house he
saw the necessity of someone to in
vestigate and recommend to the mayor
the pardon and parole of prisoners,
and it was from this recommendation
that the mayor appointed a pardon
and parole board out of which grew
the Welfare Board with it's various
activities.
Besides being one of the most sue
cessful and efficient physicians of the
city, he is one of the most public
spirited men in the community. No
movement inaugurated for the better
ment of his people that does not en-
list his support and cooperation. When
