H0W'S THIS MAYOR?

To the Sum
l saw in Tuesday Morning Times a
list of citizens named by Mayor Ed
wards to welcome the French commits
sion headed by Marshal Joffre (the
Saviour of Paris), to Kansas City. No
where in the list did l see the name
of a single Colored citizen on the COM
mittee. Don't you think Marshal
Joffre and his countrymen will think
it strange indeed on not seeing a
Colored face among the others? In
France color is no barrier and thou
sands of black French soldiers have
died for France and every Frenchman
is the equal of the other.
Well, Mr.. Edwards, will you please
explain why you did not name a
Colored man on the committee?

TRAINING CAMP DEFERRED.
Secretary of War Promises considera-
ton as Soon as coIored Troops
are Recruited.


A delegation, consisting of DR.. j. E.
Spingarn of New York, Moorfield Story
of Boston, Archibald H. Grimke, Prof.
George w. Cook, Prof. Montgomery
Gregory, James w. Johnson, James A.
Cobb, Dean Kelly Miller, Whitfield
Mckinley and Roy Nash had an inter
view with Secretary Of War Newton
D. Baker on Friday morning, April 81.
DR.. Spingarn acted as spokesman and
asked that the secretary Immediately
authorize General Wood to invite three
hundred Colored men to enter Platts-
burgh or any other of the regular
training camps which have just been
instituted. The secretary replied that
he could not do this at this time, but
that he was seriously considering the
whole matter and was committed to
tAe plan for training Colored officers
for Colored regiments. He stated he
had not decided whether to have a
separate battalion of Colored officers
in a regular camp or a separate and
distinct camp for Colored officers, and
would take whichever was least Of
fensive to the Colored people"
This means that an opportunity for
the training of Colored officers will
probably be deferred until the end of
the present camp. That is to say, un-

EVERY STUDENT A CADET.
Lincoln High School Finds a Way to
Furnish Uniforms.

Every boy student of Lincoln High
school has been enrolled in the cadet
corps and either has his uniform or
has ordered it. James R. e. Lee,
principal, announced several months
ago that every body in the school
would have to join the cadets. The
chief objection was the purchasing of
the uniforms, which eighty-five boys
could not buy.
The principal called a meeting of
the Lincoln High school steering COM
mittee, composed of thirty Kansas
City Negro business men, and explain
ed the situation. One thousand dol
lars was borrowed, all of the men
signing the note. Uniforms were ord
cred for the e~ighty-five cadets and
each one will pay $3.50 a month to the
committee ON his equipment-Thurs-
day Times.

ONES INABILITY TO SLEEP
insomnia May Be Overcome BY For.
getting About 1t and Avoiding
Unnecessary Excitement

If you don't sleep well don't worry
about 1t. Your lack of sleep isn't go
ing to kill you or drive you insane.
That Is the substance Of the advice
given by q doctor writing In the Amer.
lean Magazine.
1t is advice that good many nerv-
GUS people need, observes the Kansas
City Star. How often do you hear
some one apprehensively complaining
that he lies awake "all night" The
chances are that he only thinks he was
awake all night, and that in reality he
got several hours Of sleep between the
spells Of wakefufness. But even If he
was wakeful, 1t is nothing to be
alarmed about. Especially Is 1t moth
ing to warrant taking medicine.
The way to get over insomnia is to
pay no attention to 1t. and not to talk
about 1t. Sleep is largely q matter OF
habit. It depends on living ration
ally and going to bed at regular time.
You are likely to be wakeful If you
stir yourself up in the evening. Ii
you work at night or get deeply in
terested in anything you find 1t diffi-
cult to relax. That is the chief rea-
son for wakefulness after q party. the
excitement of the crowd tnterferes
with sleep. The ideal way Is to taper
off the days activities as evening
comes.

GAMES OF SIAMESE KIDDIES
Girls Play Keeping House, With Dried
Clay DolIies-Boys Jump Rope
and Roll Marbles.

When the Siamese folks get up In
the morning they do not go to the
washstand to wash their faces, for the
simple reason that Siamese houses can
boast no such article Of furniture, says
an exchange.
So our little Siamese friend just
runs down to the foot of the ladder
for the house is built on posts-to a
large jar Of water with a coconut
shell dipper. There she washes her
face by throwing the water over her
hands and rubbing them over her face.
She needs no towel, for the water Is
left to dry. She does not brush her
teeth, for they are stained black by
chewing the betel nut. Her hair does
not require comblng, either, for 1t is
all shaved except a little tuft on the
top of the head, and that is tied in
little knot and not very often combed.
After breakfast IS over, the children
go off and find some pleasant place In
which to play. The girls play at keep
ing house and make dishes of clay
dried in the sun. Little images Of clay
washed with lime are their only dolls.
The boys of Siam are very fond Of
pitching coins, and spend much Of their
time in this game. They play leap
frog and very often jump the rope.
Now that so many foreigners are u
Siam, they have learned to play mar
bles, too.
AS the streets in Siam are almost
all rivers and canals, the Siamese boys
and girls early learn to row, and pad
die their little boats almost as soon al
