"It would take 600,000,000 cubic feet of earth to fill the trenches in France, and it will take 15, 25, 50 years to rebuild, and perhaps never can some places in France, Belgium and Italy be rebuilded, but a task which comes in hand with this material reconstruction is the conversion of 'Hell's Half Acre' of the world Into the Kingdom

of God.

"One of the first steps In this is to convert our political agencies into

Christian agencies " the bishop said.

"This has got to be done from your

house down to Washington. The

trouble with us is that our politicians go down the street with political blind

ers on their eyes. I have not much Steadfast faith In either, I would rath

er send a politician to the state capital or Washington, who talks less before election and acts more after

wards. Our leaders have got to quit

playing politics." Wilson Made Own Mess. "The reason Mr. Wilson is in so much hot water down at Washington now is because he boiled It for himself," said the speaker. "I never knew so great a man to do so many small things. I was not a partisan of Mr. Roosevelt, but his political 6tick which it was said he swayed so much in the white house, was as a broken reed in comparison with the

political stick the president swings J

every day. And by the way, if Wilson hadn't written that letter regarding a Democratic congress last November, I think he would have one now." "A man who would have helped matters considerably over at Paris is Ex-president Taft. No man has been a surer patriot, during and after the war than Mr. Taft. I tell you he is a vastly bigger man now than he was when he was president of the United States." He added that he would also have taken Elihu Root, whom he considers the possessor of one of the keenest constitutional mind3 in America. Besides adding great gray matter to the conference, it would have saved Root from "allying himself with the brew

ers of this country when everybody

The speaker said he considered the League of Nations a great first step In International relations. "Although it may be imperfect, and although it may be only half a league it is a step. Something must be done that the boys who died shall not have died In vain. Remember the most Important thing in the new world is not a Krupp gun but the expression of new ideals." Again speaking of the president. "Mr. Wilson's attitude in Mexico is undoubtedly the most Christian one. It is time that the American people knew a little more about the Mexican side of the question, and when you read that 30 or 40 or 100 American soldiers were shot remember that

there were undoubtedly 30 or 40 or

100 Mexicans shot also.

made so through the efforts and personality of Billy Sunday, but he still knows what the under-dog does in his particular world; what he faces; what he has to get away from and his ultimate end, and about these things he is going to talk. Fenton broke into the "crime business" in Montreal, but according to his own story, it was not until he became an itinerant criminal that he began to tackle "big jobs." "I found that the further I got away from home, the deeper I got into crime, and the more audacious and pretentious would become my endeavors. After a short stay in one town my efforts would come to the notice of the police and it would be 'move on' for me," said Fenton. Drifted and Stole. "Thus I drifted from town to town until my record became emblazoned

DIXIE JUBILEES, FOR 'STEENTH TIME, DELIGHT AUDIENCE

Real Jubilee music, the kind which cannot be given by any other eet of people, was given by the Dixie Jubilee Singers, in an afternoon and evening concert which every one In the audience seemed thoroughly to enjoy. The Dixies are old favorites here, having appeared In Richmond several times. Encore after encore they gave and everybody wanted more. They sang everything from fairly highbrow etuff to the wooliest camp meeting chorus, and their comedian, Louis A. Morris, who has not appeared with them before, added materially to every quartette selection as well as his own solo work. Morris Is also a cartoonist of no mean ability, and In the evening he set the entire audience laughing with his caricatures. While he drew these he also made remarks on life and things In general, his jokes being new

and well done. Among the most attractive numbers of the afternoon program were "Mammie O'Mine," "Marmina," by the quartette; "Hallelujah," sung by Louis Morris and chorus; and "Lullaby Blues," sung by Miss Helen Smallgood, the contralto of the company. Mrs. Neale Buckner, soprano, appeared to particular advantage in "The Star." Sing Religious Songs. The opening chorus in the evening was "Greetings to Spring," followed by a jubilee chorus, "There's a Great Camp Meeting in the Promised LaDd," with Miss Helen Smallgood taking the solo part. Miss Smallgood has an extremely mellow contralto voice which she uses to splendid advantage both in solo and choral work. "Oh, Lord, I'm Hungry and I Want to be Fed," was one of the most popular renditions of the evening, and the company responded with "The Sunshine of Your Smile," Mrs. Buckner sang "I Know Not Why" with clarity of tone. "So High" and the closing chorus, "Old Flag," were preceded by several light negro and other popular airs while the jubilee held the stage awaiting the arrival of the speaker of the evening, who owing to a change in trains had to drive to Richmond from Indianapolis by auto. "Flip-flop She Flyed" and "Early in the Spring," were two popular encores.

Ideals, Not Armies, Must Build New World; Says Chicago Preacher

"The dead philosophy that the world's problems can only be settled by fore of arms, has cost enough already, and while Germany may have been responsible for the war we are just as much responsible for peace and its preservation, said the Rev. Roy L. Smith, of Chicago at the Chautauqua Monday afternoon. In a sincere plea for a new world. Smith came to the Richmond Chautauqua last year and entertained his audience, but Monday afternoon he explained that he would not endeavor to entertain them, but rather to present as cold facts some things which were very near to his heart. However his humor came to the front. y Spirit of Trust Needed. "If we are going to make peace we must first have a spirit of trust," said Smith. "We can not have trust standing on our old mistakes and crimes. When earthquake destroyed the city of San Francisco, the debris was cleaned away and a new city was built on the site of the old. But it was according to a new plan. "The new city rose more beautiful, more substantial, and more symmetrical. Every effort was made in the building of the new to avoid the mistakes of the old. This generation, standing amid the ruin of the old world, is entrusted with the task of building the new." "The German Kaiser declared war,

tut it was the spirit of Kaiserism in

the hearts of men everywhere that made war. I say to you, let the spirit of this generation be unalterably opposed to the spirit of militarism, that the dread thing shall not be built into the new world. The Christian forces of the world today face no greater obligation than stamping out the spirit of militarism, and I say this as a Methodist and not a Quaker. "America has taken her place as a world power but she has not found her way ahead clear yet. We went into this war to- make peace. Is it not our business and our duty to make the world safe for peace? Race Prejudice A Bane. "Race prejudice, the opposite of race pride." said the speaker, "is one of the evils we have to fight. For years we thought of the negro as a couthern problem and assumed a superior attitude when the wires flashed news of lynchings and burnings but

went as fast as it came. Questioned as to his favorite way of working, Fenton explained that "mob" work had been his. A "mob" in the parlance of thievery, is a group of three or four crooks who work together, usually under the leadership of an individual who directs the mob and does the brain work, Fenton says. The business of the mob is to get the mind of the prospective victim of the theft off his money, while the leader does the actual robbing. Stole Dime; $10,000. "The cheapest job I ever pulled was when I stole a purse with a dime in it from a woman who probably needed that dime more than I needed a hundred dollars. The biggest job I ever pulled netted me $10,000. Some crooks steal from the sheer spirit of bravado.

What to Use and Avoid On Faces that Perspire

Skin, to be healthy, must breathe. It also must perspire must expel, through the pores, its share of the body's waste material. Certain creams and powders clog1 the pores. Interfering both with elimination and breathingr, especially during: tho heated period. If more women understood this, there would be fewer self-ruined complexions. If they would use ordinary mercolized wax instead of cosmetics they would have healthy complexions. This remarkable substance actually absorbs a bad skin, also unclogrging the pores. Result: The fresher, younger under-skin is permitted to breathe and to show itself. The exquisite new complexion gradually peeps out. one free from any appearance of artificiality. Obtain an ounce of mercolized wax from your druggist and try it. Apply nightly like cold cream for a week or two, washing It off mornings. There's nothing quite so good for an over-red, tanned or freckled face. Adv.

the race riots of East St Louis and Chicago have shown that the negro problem is not a matter of geography but, of the human heart. "In India, the coming of Christianity sees the beginning of the decay of the caste system. Here in America we refer to niggers, chinks, greasers, theenets, wops and bohunks still. The Christian conscience must determinedly demand economic, social, opportunity, and spiritual honesty It our peace is to succeed." "These strangers at our gates have come to America with an idealism which is refreshing, he said, speaking of immigration, and we have put them 'back of the yards,' into the slums and tenements. The foreigner, remember, did not create the slums. He is forced there by circumstances. Long hours, low wages, unsanitary houses, politicians, exploiting tradesmen, have been so out of key with the immigrant's ideal of Americanism that he has rushed into social radicalism in protest. Radicalism In Protest. "Much radicalism among foreign peoples is but a reaction against the

our task is incomplete. "America's most delicate problem for the next 25 years will be her Mexican relations. The Methodist Centenary is responsible for the statement that the cost of our punitive expedition into Mexico to 'get Villa' was sufficient to have built a school house, a $100,000 church, a 100 bed hospital, and a library in every town in Mexico with a population of more than 4,000, equipped and operated each for ten years. Compare it you will the relative value of the two invasions."

RUSH FOR P. 0 FOOD DWINDLES; MUCH IS STILL TO BE HAD

There Is still an enormous amount of available foodstuffs for Richmond purchasers In the hands of the postoffice department, said C. B. Beck, postmaster, Tuesday. Monday sales were very slim In comparison with the amount to be purchased. If the sale of army foodstuffs is to be discontinued Wednesday. The biggest Item being purchased by local residents is canned peas. However, as there are over twelve thousand cans available and Monday's orders were for approximately three hundred and sixty cans, it can readily be seen that Richmoiidites are not taking advantage of the sale to combat the high cost of living. Corn is running second In purchases, while baked beans are third. No Red Tape Needed. Many people seem to be under the Impression that they must go through a great deal of "red tape" to make their purchases,' but such is not the case, said the postmaster. However, the postoffice would deeply appreciate it. If the buyers would take more pains with the making out of their orders, as they are coming into the postal authorities in all sorts of shapes, very little care being taken as to the order in which they are made. This makes trouble for the

checking up by the, department, and subsequently delays the shipping. Orders are still coming in, however, but not in the number that was anticipated by the postoffice officials. This Is laid mainlv to the r'n - people are doubtful about making suc large purchases as are necessary, bivt Mr. Beck pointed out, with the present high prices being charged by the retail groceries, It will be much cheaper in the long run to have an abundant supply of food on hand. Such was the Idea for the sale. In allowing the public to stock up on purchases, at a lower rate than available otherwise. Orders may be given to the postal carriers, or either mailed or brought in person to the postoffice.

ALMOST A SHADOW, AFRAID TO EAT "My son-in-law was so bad from stomach trouble that he was reduced to almost a shadow and was afraid to eat anything, as all food caused bloating of gas which pressed against his heart, worrying him very much. Our druggist persuaded him to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and in two months he looked, fine, can eat anything and works hard every day." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.

Be Careful What You Wash You Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkili, which is very injurious, as It dries the 6calp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this Is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful Is all that Is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt arfd dandruff. Adv.
