Dear Miss Grey: My hus-

nearing lineage of 10. She has
capital of several hundred
dollars, which she does not
consider enough to pay a COM
panion. Her home is quite a
distance from her nearest neigh
bors. Her health is very poor
and she is sometimes confined
to bed for several days, being
under the Doctors care. My
husbands salary is moderate
and we have children. We have
tried having her with us sew
eral times, but it has always
terminated unpleasantly. Do
you think 1t is our duty to
bring her into our home and
run the risk of such unpleasant
ness being repeated? We have
never yet found anyone who
could overlook her unpleasant
ness and be content to live
with her. What do you ad-

The kaiSer'S Mistake

Everyone knows England is our most spteful
adversary. She spreads the hatred of Germany
over the whole world, filling her allies with
hatred and eagerness to fight.-Kaiser Wilhelm
to his troops.
The kaiser is mistaken. Neither England nor
any other outside nation could possibly have
aroused the world against Germany as it is
aroused today. Germany is the only nation that
could have done it. And Germany did it, begin
ming with Belgium.

A Woman'S "Bit''

Recently the Garment Makers association
suggested American women would greatly serve
the success of the war if they would decide not
to wear mourning for any relative or friend who
dies during its duration.
Travellers from France all speak of the depres-
sion caused by the universal mourning by
the women. The psychological influence of sad
ness is heightened by the yards and yards Of
somber black and swathing wells of CREPE in
which the Borrowing sweethearts and wives and
mothers have draped themselves.
The wearing of mourning is or less an
edict of fashion anyway. 1t is one of the bar
barous customs that has fingered from the UNI
happy lot of the child widows of India.
Ones grief may be poignant and sincere but
that is no reason why should inflict it on
others who might be happy when we are sad.
This year brilliant colors have been worn more
than usual by women, young and DID, and if this
war still persists why may not our women do
their bit by Haunting the red badge of courage
instead of wearing the rusty insanitary crepe
that has long been considered the insignia of woe?

LAST COUP OF OPIUM
TRUST IS DENOUNCED
Desperate Efforts to Head Off
Operation of Agreement
Ending Term Contract.

(By Associated Press Staff Core pondent)
PEKING, China, March 23-The de-
cision of the Chinese government to
take over the unsold stock of the
opium combine in Shanghai on March
81 and pay for it in treasury bonds
circles and called forth loud condem-
nation from enemies of the opium
traffic in China.
Indignation meetings have been held
at Shanghai and other points in CHINA
protesting against the proposed action
of the government and declaring that
it is death blow to the campaign
against the opium traffic which has
been carried on for ten years.
Vice President Feng Kuo-chang Is
said to have initiated the movement
for the purchase of the opium COM
bine stock. His support of the sale
is reported to have forced the cabinet
to give its consent. Both Premier
Tuan Chi-jui and President ii Yuan
hung had assured the opponents of
the opium traffic that they would
never consent to the government pur-
chase of the opium combine stock.
Consequently, the announcement that
the deal had been concluded was a
great surprise.
1t is reported that the opium com
bine has about twenty-one hundred
chests of the drug on hand. The price
quoted is above eight thousand taels
for chest, or a total of approximate
ly S15,000.000 gold. Vice President
Feng Kuo-Chang frankly supports the
movement for the government control
and sale of the opium. He would have
it manufactured into pills and sold as
drug with great profits to the gov
ernment.
The legal existence of the opium
combine expires on March 81, and
dealers are forbidden by law to sell
opium in any port in China after that
time. However If the government
takes over the trade 1t will probably
legalize opium sales through Chinese
druggists.
Under the treaty with Great Britain
for the termination of opium produc-
ton and the sale of opium in China,
the traffic should end with 1917, and
all opium growing should be stamped
out.

Speaking of Henry Kendall col
lege's wonderful development and
progress in the last few years, the
current issue of the Presbyterian Ad-
vance, published at Nashville, Tenn,
says:
"lt may be just a little early to APP
ply the term, but judging from the
progress that has been made in six
years and by the backing that it has
secured and is securing, it is not too
much to say that Henry Kendall col
lege. at Tulsa, Okla, one of our sixty
odd Presbyterian institutions, is justly
called wonder among American col
leges.
"As a rule, colleges are institutions
of very slow growth. There are ex-
ceptions, to be sure, for sometimes
educational institutions are born fully
grown, as the Rice institute in Texas
or Reed college in Oregon. These eX-
ceptions occur because men of i'm
mense wealth die and leave millions
for the establishment and mainte-
nance of some such institutions; but
the ordinary college grows slowly be-
cause, until many years have passed,
1t must depend mainly upon gifts
from the living to supply its needs.
Henry Kendall has had to depend
thus upon the living-having been the
recipient of no considerable bequests
yet in six or seven years ii has
grown from little more than name
to n strength which many colleges
have not attained after half a century
of history.
A Long Record.
ITO be sure. in one sense Kendall

outgrowth OF one of the schools for
Indian children, planted by the Pres
byterian church in the Indian Terri
tory nearly one hundred years ago
in 1918. AS a public school system
developed, most of these mission
schools were discontinued, but, see
ing the need of making some provis-
ion for higher education, the Wom-
ans Board of Home Missions decided
to continue the institution at Musko-
gee, making it of higher rank. So, in
1894, 1t was opened as a college, be-
ing given the name it bears in honor
of DIR. Henry Kendall who, for the
