Of course in formal statement it is the Daniel Boone Tavern but the Daniel Boone Tavern is rather too big a mouthful for ordinary every day speech. It should be shortened to fewer syllables. The Tavern is comprehensively descriptive in a word. It suggests a community possession, as the struc ture is. It connotes comfort and convenience, ease and courtesy, grace and a grateful atmosphere all of which arc to be abiding attributes of the hostelry. It hints at good fellow ship and Intimates hospitality for a proper though dignified considera tion characteristics of this new ad dition to the gems of Columbia's crown. So let's call it The Tavern in the intimacy of friendly reference, not "the new hotel," which smackc of the commonplace, saving the longer, more formal phrase carrying the name of the pioneer for special oc casion requiring official designation. To the TavernAll up! Graduate of Missouri Will Teach Jour nalism There. Vaughan Bryant, a graduate of the School of Journalism of the Univers ity, has accepted the position of as sistant professor of journalism at the University of Kansas. Mr. Bryant re ceived his degree here in 1911. He was employed for a time in the lit erary department of the Kansas City Star, but left there to become in structor in Journalism at the Uni versity of Texas. He was promoted to assistant professor and was still employed at Texas when he received his appointment at Kansas. Three years ago Mr. Bryant taught journal Ism courses in the Summer Session here. Mr. Bryant's home was formerly in Kansas City. During the summer va cation this year he has been doing newspaper work at Grand Itaplds, Mich. BINGHAM PICTURE OF BOONE HANGS IN TAVERN LOBBY Ishop of Rheims, who has remained would join to found such a perpetual beside .his beloved cathedral through- mass, and I hope that God will spare A Missouri pioneer painted by a Missouri artist in a hotel which, of" all the hotels in the state of Missouri, is perhaps the most typically a Missouri hostelry! That is the picture of Dan iel Boone, painted by George Caleb Bingham, one of the famous artists of the United States, himself a Co lumbian. The picture was secured for the new Daniel Boone Tavern by E. W. Stephens,'"and was put in place in the main lobby of the new hotel last Tuesday. The Bingham picture is one of the two or three paintings of the old pioneer that are considered really true likenesses. The picture of Boone and his dog, shown elsewhere in this issue, is considered the other au thentic picture. The Bingham picture now hanging in the lobby of the tav ern is entitled "Daniel Boone CominE Through the Cumberland Gap." It represents the emigration of the famous Daniel Boone with his family from North Carolina to Kentucky. The picture is described in Miss Fern Helen Rusk's book on George Caleb Bingham as follows: "The scene of the picture is laid In a mountain gap, as the subject sug gests, and the dramatic, grandiose treatment of the landscape, as the present state of the painting shows, it suggests that the artist must have been Influenced by the early Hudson River landscape school. Boone, a middle-aged man. In picturesque cos tume of moccasins and homespun clothes, heads the -procession, looking intently to the front, grasping with his left hand the butt of his rifle, which rests upon his shoulder, and with his right hand guiding his horse, on which his weary wife sits. "In June, 1853, Bingham was exhib iting this picture in St. Louis. He proposed to dispose of it at a raffle. Three hundred shares were to be sold at two dollars each, as the work was valued at $600. It is not said just what came of the raffle, but it is known that the picture was later sent to Paris. It is difficult to trace signs of re painting in the darker parts, but in the lighter parts, the sky particularly, it is easy to trace forms of branches that have been painted out." PRISONERS TO NETHERLANDS MAGAZINE FOR SAMMIES More persons should take advantage of the offer of the United States postal department in aiding the contributions of magazines and papers to the sol diers. The war department declares that American periodicals will greatly strengthen the morals of the armies in the field. To receive news from home beside that contained in letters breaks the foreign atmosphere which' sur rounds them and makes them realize more than ever that they are fighting for their own homes and country. The Sammies can not read the French papers and .their only means of Informing themselves on world events is by hear-say. Cut off from news they seem to be isolated from civilization and the country for which they fight. Newspapers and magazines are the connecting link and It is the duty of all to drop old periodicals Into the mailbox for the boys in khaki. These are tokens that America thinks hourly of the boys across the water who are fighting for us. They bridge the leagues of water and reach into the heart of France with the message that the folks at home are behind their fighters. The magazines mean more than real reading matter. They are an actual aid in the fight and a weapon against the enemy, in stilling new courage and determina tion in the hearts of the soldiers. Irraugcruciits Made to Care for 1G,000 from England and Germany. By Associated Press THE HAQUE, Netherlands, Sept. 7. Under the agreement between Brit ish and German delegates In respect I to prisoners-of-war, 16,000 prisoners are to be accommodated in the Keth-i erlands, half coming from Britain and half from Germany. Sixteen military and civil doctors are proceeding to the two countries to make preliminary medical examinations.

Ralph Wat kins, who taught in the Element! -y School last year, will teach s-ie.ee in both schools. The Elementary School will open on Monday. RHEIMS' DESTINY A QUESTION out the bombardment, is firmly deter mined that Rheims shall always have its temple. "We shall repair the cathedral," he has said. "It must be so. We hare casts of its statues and colored photographs of its glass. Our architect, at the risk of his life, is working under the damaged arches to save what can be saved. "The day will come when the doors will again be opened for religious services, for I hold fast to one thing above all, that the cathedral where tiie first Christian king of France was christened shall remain the first church of France. "I protest with all my energy, and I shall never cease protesting, against any project that seeks to make Rheims Cathedral into some kind of a museum or necropolis. Those who have such ideas do not consider that Rheims is for the church, for France and for the whole world. All such proposals are impossible. "With one suggestion only that has been made can I associate myself with all my heart. Let there be, every year, a solemn, celebration in the cathedral which has suffered so from German rage, in memory of those who have died for the safety of the country and the freedom of the world. .The whole Catholic world me to celebrate it myself for tho first time." ? v.usiar Aurunr a liati rTM tTtfrt I & 500 P3 I S ptt) Rr eproof Poora' 5 1 r2refrom2GD I UndnfiWrWraiulDmcfiaacf jl SJ.VthncreJojepfcRflcnl f DOES YOUR WATCH, CLOCK OR JEWELRY NEED REPAIRING?

Suggestions are being publicly advanced as to the destiny of Rheims Cathedral. Discus sion centers on whether it should be restored as a cathedral, transformed into some sort of. a national memo morial dedicated to those who hae lost their lives in the war, orleft as a monument to Teutonic barbarism, r The question cannot be definitely de cided, perhaps, until the German guns have been driven from Fort Brimont and the final condition of the his tor'': fane, after so many months of bom bardment, can be ascertained. Meanwhile Cardinal Lucon, Arch- TEACHERS IN NEW POSITIONS Three YALUE OF WALKING Adam and Eve walked. Neverthe less, if their descendants choose to abandon walking, that is their privilege. If they choose to unlearn those things which are learned only by walking, that Is their penalty. Those who spin by In automobiles and carriages, those who whiz by on motorcycles, or those who ride by on horses discover that all values of life and landscape change the lns:ant they plant their feet on Mother Earth. Those who pass each other on foot realize that each is ,a human being with a personality. They realize that there is a difference between Wallace and Frank. But to those who pass a la vehicle, all Wallaces and Franks are the same merely human obstacles to steer clear of. Those who do not walk, fail to ap preciate trie miracle of modern rapid transit, for it Is the walker alone who is in a position to know the physical contest with distance. The walker sees details the rider sees only mass. The rider sees a glaring yellow field which resembles a carpet, whereas the walker sees not from UnlTersItr Elementary School Get Good "Calls." How the University Elementary School supplies schools of the United States with teachers is shown by the fact that this year three members of the faculty of the Columbia school will take higher positions on the teaching staffs of New York, Illinois ana Missouri Institutions. Miss Ma tilda Dreifus, teacher of the fifth and sixth grades in the Columbia school last year, leaves soon to take a place on the faculty of the Ethical Culture School of New York City. Miss Drei fus accepted the New York position at an Initial salary of $1,800. Miss Dor othy Self, who has been at the Uni versity school for the last two yaars, will go to the Warrensburg Normal School at a salary of $1,500, while Miss Mary Hogan received an appoint ment in the schools of North Chicago with a substantial increase in salary. All of these teachers were "discov ered" through their work in the Ele mentary School during the last year. "The teaching force at the Ele mentary School," said Dr. J. L. Meriam, superintendent of the Ele mentary School, today, "will not be weakened by the loss of these three teachers, as we have alreaey engaged three more who are competent to handle the work which they will take up." Mrs. J. K. Fyfer, formerly principal of the Lee School, is now principal of the Elementary School, and will teach this year grades three and four. Miss Katherine Hankins and Mrs. Basil Gauntlett are the other two new teachers. They will share the work in grades five, six and seven. Miss Hankins has taught in Carrollton and Kansas City. She is a graduate of the University and last year took her A.M. degree. She was teaching super visor of Latin in the University H'gh School. Mrs. Gauntlett is well known in Columbia. She graduated in 1913 and has taught in both the Elementary and High schools. Mrs. Mary Davis, formerly of the work for jury duty.
