Negro Spirituals To

ever singing. A number of these ex-
aamples. are on the program of the
Musical Art Society when it gives it's
first concert Of the year in Carnegie
Hall on December 16, where Harold
Bauer and Samuel Gardner will play
Bach's Fifth Concerto, in D major,
written for solo piano, violin and flute,
accompanied by violins, violas, 'cellos
and basses.
On St. Helena Island there are some
5000 blacN and only about fifty white
people. The typical negro folk-song
has almost wholly escaped those in
huences there which are fast destroy
ing it in more advanced communities.
In this remote spot. where corn is
ground by hand, where tradition tells
that the local art of basket-weaving
was brought from Africa and where it
is said that traces Of African words
may be found IN negro dialect, the
archaic, imaginative and primitive

moned to white mans war;" says
Mrs. Curtis, "and the pain Of parting
and loss in the black belt seemed
the more pathetic because of many Of
the peoples ignorance of the cause for
which they were to fight; when friends
Of the negro saw how it was with
song that this new stress was often
lightened by the simple folk whose
religious feeling is poured out in
music, it occurred to the writer Of
these verses to follow the custom Of
adapting new words to q familiar
tune, and thus make a negro song
which should embody the ideals for
which America entered the. war" 1t
was song for the hour, paraphrasing
"Ride On, Jesus" and closely follows
the original negro song, even in. the
simple and somewhat crude harmonies
and progressions of the different voices.

 Film water contains about as much plant food as ordinary drinking water This is desirable, since root hairs can take in plant food only when it is in a. dilute solution. IL means, however, that quantities of water are needed to make Q plant grow. It is estimated that the roots need to take in as much as 300 pounds Of water in order that a pound Of dry material may be pro- duced by the plant. This shows the gardener the importance of preparing the soil so it will hold and retain sui ficient moisture to produce satisfac- tory crops.

NITROGEN IODIDE IS EASILY DECOMPOSED
(Atlantic Monthly


 Explosives are, almost or quite with out exception, composed of substances which are endotherrnic in character; that is, heat energy Is absorbed when they are formed, and this heat is Iiber- ated when they dacompose. Heat moreover, accelerates all chemical changes. Hence, if any (even a very smalD part of an explosive mass begins to break down from any couse, the heat liberated promotes the rapidity of the change, and this, in turn, is communi- cated to neighboring portions, until the entire mass may be involved and de- stroyed.
 So far as it is humanly possible to do so, all exciting causes must be fore seen and forestalled; and the lack of stability during storage has necessitat- ed the diScarding of many materials otherwise of great promise.
 As an instance of extreme instability, the behavior of a substance known as nitrogen iodide may be cited. This compound eXplodes with great violence if touched with a feather-a literal in- stance of being "ticked to death"-and after it is exploded by the meer friction of the air when moved from one spot to another. Such sensitiveness as this ob- [ viously places a substance outside the bounds of practical usefulness but all explosives are. in the very nature of the case, unstable, and their preserva- tion involves the study of factors which differ from this case in degree rather than in kind.

War Dept Asks Him To Locate
WaShburn Unit.
Kansas Governor Notified of
Action To Find Company.

General Pershing has been asked by
the war department to locate the men
of the saith ambulance company
the Washburn college organization in
France-and to give a statement con-
cerning the time when the men will
be sent home. In a letter received at
the governors office today, announce
ment was made by the war depart
ment that it was not in possession of
actual facts concerning the unit.
The Washburn ambulance corps was
demobilized as a unit. according to re-
ports sent to Topeka. and its men were
listed as casualstand later banded with
other organizations. The men who
were listed for retirement from serv-
ice were not sent to the United States
and were never mustered out of Serv-
ice. 1t has been impossible to secure
information identifying the unit,
which went from Washburn college to
asked by Governor Allen to provide
the desired facts.
In a letter which Henry Jervrey,
major general of the general staff,
sent to the Kansas governor. it was
stated that the war department was
not in possession of actual facts con-
cerning the ambulance company. 1t
was stated that General Pershing
would be asked to secure facts and to
give a special report as to the men and
their present military identity as well
ruobilized This information will be
transmitted to Kansas when received
the letter stated.
The organization is familiarly
known in Topeka as the Washburn

SAYS IT'S STINCY
County Commissioner Raps To-
peka PrOvident Association.
Assistance Not Given in Right
Way, Rodgers Asserts.
&C11

The Topeka Provident association
was accused of stinginess today in
handing out money and clothing given
to it by the churches and rich people
of the city. The accusation was made
by A. A. Rodgers, chairman of the
board of county commissioners, when
Miss Myrtle Callahan, superintendent
of the association, complained of i'm
positions made on the associa ton by
people who made sufficient money to
provide food and clothes for their
children.
Rodgers aimed his remarks at Hor-
ace Hall, prominent Topeka harita BILE
worker, whom he described as "the
best man on earth but a man without
heart" Rodgers declared that when
people went to the association for help
they were cross examined much the
same as criminal accused of crime.
Give Thcm Best of 1t.
Lets be charitable in our treat
ment of these people as well as chart
table in our gifts" said Rodgers.
Let them get a little the best of it,
Make them feel comfortable rather
than uncomfortable when they come
to you for aid. 1t was given to make
poor people happy. Lists make them
happy by our actions as we'll as by
our acts when they come to us for
aid.''
Complaints from the poor as we'll
as the churches had been made
against the alleged cold hearted treat

TANK PARADED HERE
Streets We're Lined To See War
Creeper Boost v Loan.

Now that Topeka and Shawnee
county have seen a real war tank and
what it might do in the water filled
shell holes overseas, it is expected that
the citizens will flood the banks of
the county today with subscriptions to
the victory loan.
In a short homily on the lesson of
the tank today J. R. Burrow, chair
man of the Shawnee county liberty
loan committee, pointed out that if it
were not for the fact that the war has
ceased there would be no particular
occasion or necessity for the showing
of a war tank in the effort to secure
subscriptions to the loan. BurroW al
so said that if the war was going on
three tank operators would still be
fighting and dying on the western
front. AS it is. Burrow said, the mil
lions are waiting patiently-or impa-
tiently-in France for the citizens of
America to furnish their fare back
home by prompt flotation of the vic
tory loan.
The streets of Topeka Sunday after
noon were lined with automobiles and
citizens awaiting the appearance of the
tank. The tank, followed by the Ninth
battalion band and the entire Ninth
battalion of the Kansas State Guard
rolled south on Kansas avenue to
Ninth street, where it nosed its way
into the hole dug for the foundations
for the Hotel Kansan. In the hole the
tank demonstrated it's ability to climb
the straight side of building and ex-
hibited a tendency to roll over or thru
anything animate or inanimate which
might happen to be in its way.
