Mr. Xevvtoii probably has given no
particular attention to miliUiry af

essary qualification for the ollice. It
is better that the department should
be headed by a broad-minded man
one who could direct the work of any
federal department, it is executive
ability that is required; there are
plenty of good men In the department
to do the technical work.

hundreds of students. Verily, it is
following in the foot-steps of Kansas.
Tho University of Kansas sends a
band to tho annual meet in Kansas
City and expects to follow that prac
tice again this year when the schools
compete in that town.
In contrast to these self-seeking
schools note our own University of
Missouri band. The athletic depart
ment at the end of the football season
allowed the reports to stand that it
haj made a profit of several thous
and dollars. The band helped in every
way they could to secure this profit.

services. When meets are held in
Kansas City or St. Ixiiiis. if Missouri
is represented by a band, it is a band
of hired musicians, and our own real
University band stays in Columbia.
Such a standard is to be commonded
in the highest.

THE NEW BOOKS
The Open Column
A coon iti::i.M.;
Honor Hall, the new cell building
recently opened at the Mis-ouri Peni
tentiary, is an improvement of which
the state may be justly proud. It is
of stone, with inside walls of enamel
ed brick, roomy, well lighted and ven
tilated, with modern sanitary con
veniences. The building can now ac
commodate only -ISO men, but when
finished it will house 050. Tho nanr
was chosen by Wat don Mt Clung, and
he has carefully picked the imui he
believes are most likely to appreciate
the care given them there. Anj one
who violatts the rules forelits his
right to remain in Honor Hall.
This improvement should be only a
beginning, for in regard to prison con
ditions Missouri is trailing behind
many states. Young and old offend
ers are thrown together. The insti
tution is overcrowded. There are
now 2,901 inmates, more than ever
before. Several hundred have tcj
sleep on the iloor, and there is no em
ployment for even half of them. Con
victs are human and should be treat
ed accordingly. Under proper condi
tion, most of them can be made good
citizens.

"Send mo sample copies of different
issues of the best paper in town, for I
want to know something about the
paper and the people."
Tliis is a request that comes often
to the mayor, postmaster or commer
cial cluli president of a growing town.
One writer is a business man in
search of a new location. The in
formation he wants could be found in
tlie newspaper.
The advertising would acquaint him
witli the merchants of the town,
whether they were progressive live
wires, what kinds of stocks they car
ried, what methods of merchandising
they used. It would show him the
lines of business that were active in
the town.
The general news stories and cor
respondence from other towns would
acquaint him with the surrounding
country, its condition and the type of
citizens and their pursuits.
The social columns would acquaint
him witli the town's social interests.
The editorial column would give
him an insight into public questions
of local import
Tho observant man could pretty ac
curately judge from the newspaper
tho business prospects of the town.
A town is, to a great extent, judged
by Its newspapers that is, among
strangers. A live newspaper is
seldom found in a "dead" town nor a
."dead" newspaper in a really pro
gressive town.
Women's Preparedness Defended.
Editor the Missourian: A short
time ago an article on "Women and
Preparedness" was published in the
Missourian. It was an amusing tiling
when read by one of the women. It
may have been written bj either an
ignorant man or an unprepared
woman; in either case, a few facts
may prove interesting. Doing one of
the women who have been forced into
the business world I happen to know
that the majority of women teachers,
stenographers, clerks, etc., are much
better equipped to fill their places in
the home than the average man is to
take up any line of work other than
that for which ho has specially pre
pared. A few examples may not be
amiss.
A joung woman taught school and
bought a home for her parents, lived
witli them and helped witli the house
work the j car round. This was in the
country and the housework included
ill sorts of baking, tho canning of all
kinds of fruit and pickles, the family
sewing, the housecleaning and tho en
tertainment of company. Once she
had tho opportunity to learn tapestry
painting and she mentioned the fact
to the man to whom she was engaged
to be married. He advised her to
"learn how to make pies." She
promptly told him she had learned
that long before she learned to paint.
Strangely enough, she married the
man and as might have been expected,
the union was not a success, he being
far inferior to the woman as a home
maker. Another instance, a joung woman
taught school, saved money and finally
married. Her husband used the
money to stock a farm, failed, lost
everjthing and died. She, with two
children, went to teaching again.
keeping house and educating the chil
dren at tho same time. Now, all three
of them arc teaching, and the boy and
his mother keeping house in a home
they have bought since the father
died.
I could tell of numberless cases
dressmakers who keep up a home,
care for an aged mother and sick
brother; stenographers, who do their
own cooking because they can make
a month's wages go farther; school
teachers who get up at 3 o'clock win
ter mornfngs, attend to fires, take up
ashes, feed chickens, get to school on
time, do conscientious work all day
and hasten home in the evening to re
peat the program the following morn
ing. These women I have in mind are
good cooks and excellent housekeep
ers and I could multiply tho examples
many, many times.
As for "preparedness," I fully be
lieve that if tho joung women are
fortunate enough to secure a man
who will furnish his "favorite cher
ries," lie need have no fear that they
will not be canned and also made into
pies in a satisfactory fashion. (5.
'Colours of War."
"Colours of War," by Itobert Cra
zier I.on, a contribution to the great
tonllict, is made up of stirring human
experiences and impressions rather
than of groat movements.
"This book," sajs Mr. Long, "is the
material for a picture, not a picture.
Watched from afar, war is easily
grasped and painted. Seen from
very near, the outlines get rough; de
tails expand, spoiling the great fea
tures; and tlie colours dissolve into
blotches."
So he does not try to tell what hap
pens but what is seen.
Wounded Polish children wrapped
in rags; soldiers with faces swathed
in bandages and breathing through
tubes that raise ghastly speculations
as to the absence of what the band
ages conceal; an escaped leopard of
a traveling menagerie rioting in a
blazing Polish -village; warring
trenches so close that written jibes and
insulting lion mots aro exchanged a
St. Georgia's Cross stuck in a potato
and hurled into the Russian trendies
and a New Testament sent in return
these are tho colors that run together
on his paliette.
It is a picture of the eastern theatre,
where written detail had been scarcer
than in the western.
Mr Ix:ig is an English journalist
v. ho has been engaged for many ears
in correspondence in Uussia for Eng
lish and American papers. Since tlie
beginning of the war he lias been in
every field of action of the Russian
armies.

Verrill. It has a chapter of sensible
advice on "what to collect." It gives
information on photographing wild
things and tlie use and value of tlie
microscope. It tells how to collect
rocks and minerals, fossils, plants
and vegetables, insects, fresh and salt
water animals, Indian relics, war and
historical relics, stamps, coins, post
cards. It is a highly practical book
which covers thoroughly every col
lecting hobby that interests tho boy
and at the same time sharpens his
powers of observation.
