COLUMBIA'S HOSPITALITY In the present age, when people travel from place to place, when con ventions and meetings are frequently held and as a consequence men re ceive good or bad Impressions of towns by-the sort of treatment given visitors, there is nothing more im portant in a town's good reputation than its hospitality. Men have been known not Infrequently to visit a town and go out throughout the state to talk about it unfavorably, to criti cize its manner of receiving visitors and the like. Columbia, through the many years of his history, has always managed to keep its good reputation so far as hospitality is concerned. Founded by men from the South, who believed in"leaving out the latch-string" for the traveler and whose greatest pleas ure was in entertaining a visitor from another place, the town has earned the reputation of being a place where travelers of all sorts may go and feel at home. The fact that In its latter days Co lumbia has been chosen for a conven tion city, that women's clubs and oth er organizations have met here time and time again in preference to some other place, are all proofs that this place has kept Its good reputation through the years. With its splendid facilities for entertaining visitors to day, Columbia will doubtless continue to live up to the standard it has set in the past and always be famous for a genuine Southern hospitality. young men have been "drafted" and the married men are claiming "ex emption." The "slacker" is among us, seeking to avoid service by a quick marriage. Women are taking the place of men in business and in dustry, and we are beginning to see the "conductorettes" taking the place n9 1.a niiffMMlnf. Ul LUC DUUiagUlO. s These new words which have been set off by quotation marks are but a fewtjamples of the vocabulary of war slang which we have adopted during the last three years. As we become more and more drawn into the thick of the fight it is to be expected that this list will become more familiar to us. New words will spring up to cover different phases of the life at the training camps. The stimulus of war reaches everywhere, even to our language.

T. Gentry will carry his grandfather's sword which was used in the Black-Hawk and Seminole Wiars. "New York, U. S. A., God's Country," is the inscription on a box of mer chandise received in this state from England. Yet President Wilson does not base his authority on the "di vine right" theory. The second Liberty Loan has start ed with a boom. Now is the time to combine patriotism and profits in a legitimate way by subscribing lor some bonds. Rewards or $50 have been offered for deserters. And one may wonder whether or not they are worth so large a sum. NEW WORDS FROM THE WAR Our every-day, dialect Is always changing and, in the midst of the great international upheaval, our peace phrases have been set aside to make way Tor a new slang supplied In the main from the trenches. Every great war has added to our supply of words. It is difficult to estimate yet how great will be the present contri bution. How many of the new words, the slang of the trenches and the catchwords of the press, will endure after they have outlived their present usefulness? In the trenches the English "Tm my" speaks of the enemy as "Fritz" or "Hun," and he calls his French comrade "Poilu," while the Americans who are still behind the trenches are being hailed as the "Sammies." True, the Sammies dislike the name, but so it was with the "Yanks" In the Civil War. Then, aside from the nicknames which have been more or less arbi trarily adopted for the soldiers, there has appeared a class of phrases orig inating from trench warfare. "Over the top" has a connotation which may long be utilized by literary men in picturing the scenes of the battle. "No Man's Land" Is another famous phrase which was adopted early In the war. Along with these more Imag inative phrases Is a group of technical military terms which have come into general usage as a result of their constant recurrence in the news dis patches. "Liquid fire," "curtain fire" and "75" shells are examples of this group. The fighters themselves have given to us a few words which are used commonly in the slang or the day. We have not yet reached the stage when we can speak or "strafing" as the Britisher uses the word, but in England it has become a common by word. A teamster shouts "God strare you" to his horse who balks or turns a corner wrong. The "Boche" is the trench name for the Huns. "Rosalie" is the pet name for the bayonet, while airplanes and shells which are use less are referred to as "duds." In America we who cannot be with our Allies "overseas" are "doing our bit." possibly by "Hooverizing." Our "conscripts" are "mobilizing" at the "cantonments." Our "hyphenated" citizens are encouraging the "paci fists" to pro-German activities. Our Lowry Street. Editor the Missourian: Lowry street, the short street in front of the University library, is a black mark upon Columbia's excellent system of street paving. In bad weather It is almost Impossible lor a vehicle of any kind to get within a block of the the library entrance. If the property owners along this street are not in terested enough to take the matter in hand, the city should act without de lay. A. Home of University Student Barns. Miss Mary Elizabeth Rawllngs, a student in the University, has re ceived word that her home in Slater, was burned last Sunday. Miss Rawl ings is a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.
