KEPT HIS SECRET
Despite the outlook, Dr. jenkins
during the three and one-half
months of his fast failing health
here maintained his characteristic
calm anc happy demeanor, refusing
to permit announcement of his con-
dition either in Kansas City or To-
cally
AS long as he was physically able,
he wrote a daily newspaper column
for this newspaper. 1t was called
'Nubbins" and was a revival of his
column of similar name which "a
years ago appeared daily in the
Kansas City Post, of which he was
then publisher.
DR.. Jenkins was a man of many
capabilities. In addition to being
minister of the same church for
more than third of a century, and
at various times a newspaper man,
he was recognized as a lecturer,
educator, traveller, philosopher, and
author Of many books, on both re-
ligious and fictional subjects. He
had been a war correspondent in
the last war, and later a Red Cross
worker on the battle fronts. He hac
travelled extensively and was con-
sidered an authority on interna-
tional affairs.
