SIGX THE PLEDGE
Two million Jlissourlans are ex
pected to sign the National Food Ad
ministration's food pledge in the cam
paign starting October 28. Sugar,
meats, wheat and fats are the food
stuffs which the Food Administration
thinks that can be conserved and the
Allies thus helped.
Every thing to make the signing of
the pledges convenient will be arrang
ed so that the greatest number of
signers can be secured. The pledges
will be in the form that petitions are
usually circulated and everyone who
signs will get a "registration card"
showing that he or she has joined in
the movement for helping feed the
soldiers of this country and of the
Allies.
"Save the food for the soldiers"
might be a good slogan for this cam
paign. Every bit of waste stopped
means that so much more may be giv
en to the men fighting our battles and
not only this, but it means that prices
which soar above the heads of the poor
may be kept to somewhere near
normal.
The time has come for the too
heavy, too bountiful meals to cease,
not alone from the standpoint of per
sonal health but from the standpoint
of public good. When the volunteer
workers come around with the food
administration's plan, tell your appe
tite to get behind you, and "Sign the
Pledge."
dish of plum pudding Is known as
"flggy duff" while tapioca pudding
bears the name of "squeaker." But
when the commissary department
provides salad for the sailors, they
mutter "bunny's meat" in disdain.
But the slang of the British sailor
reaches to other topics than food.
The men who have enlisted for the
duration of the war are spoken of as
"hostilities." There is nothing very
hostile about them, except as opposed
to the Teutons, but they receive their
name from the length of service for
which they are enlisted. They will go
on the beach" when the war ends.
And "on the beach" means return to
shore work to the sailor. The in
ebriate sailor is referred to as being
"tin hats" or "three-parts seven
eighths." Marines are known as "leather
necks" speaking of them as a whole.
The artillerymen are given the specific
title of "bullocks," while the infantry
men are "turkeys." But there is one
term used by the Britishers which is
never understood off ship. That is
idlers." "Idlers" once referred to the
artisan class and those of non-
military rating on the ship, but there
was never any real occasion for the
term. They are among the hardest
worked men on the ship and when
the ship is cleared ffcr action the
"idlers" have places assigned to them
at the magazines.
THE OPEN COLUMN
Movies In Sunday Schools.
Editor the Mi3sourian: The ques
tion, "How can a Sunday School af
ford to equip itself for and run mov
ing pictures weeklyr keeDs snmo
Sunday Schools from adopting the
plan of presenting lessons by pictures.
The first cost seems large. butfh
plan would pay.
The cost would be met bv thoso whn
see the pictures. The expenses of an
ordinary Sunday School of 500 stu
dents amount to something like $300
a year. That includes much litera
ture, such as lesson leaves, quarter
lies, periodicals and primary picture
papers. At the rate of $300 a year
for 600 students, the cost to enrh stu
dent is 60 cents a year, a little more
than a cent a week.
Actual experiments which have
proved successful in every case show
that attendance is inrrpnspd nimot
hundred per cent where moving pic
tures are shown recularlv nihio
stories, travelogues, etc The extra
cost of starting and maintaining mov
ies in a Sundav School Is nhnnt fnn
The distribution of periodical litera
ture would be discontinued. Primary
pictures would not be bought, much
other literature would be unnecessary.
The total cost of maintaining the
Sunday School would be not more
than $450 a year.
If attendance were increased only
40 per cent, that is, if the attendance
of 500 were increased to 700. the st
to each person would remain about
the same 60 cents a year, a little
more than a cent a week. If the
school chose to use more pictures,
thereby making the total cost $700 a
year, the cost to each person would
be exactly $1 not quite 2 cents a
week.
One dollar for fifty-two snows equal
in length to any 10-cent show, equal
in interest and much superior In
quality seems cheap enough. Its
cheapness and unquestionable popu
larity should prompt the officers of
Columbia Sunday Schools to take ac
tion at once in adopting the plan of
showing pictures at their schools.
The Civic League, Young Men's and
Young Women's Christian associations
and other organizations interested In
the moral and intellectual welfare of
children and young men and women
could do no better than to give the
plan enthusiastic support. Remember
the cost less than 2 cents a week for
a moderate sized school. It is a
modern idea, worthy of universal
consideration and prompt action.

MILITANT SERVICE
The genuine service of the Y. M. C.
A. has brought that association into
a real connection with the United
States Government. In every army
cantonment are large and convenient
ly arranged Y. M. C. A. buildings with
trained workers in charge to care for
the physical, social and spiritual well
being of the soldiers.
From every university center, es
pecially, have Y. M. C. A. men vol
unteered for service in various army
units and their loss is keenly felt
among the workers who remain to
carry the institution forward. Mis
souri has supplied several repre
sentative Y. M. C. A. men for service
in the camps of this country and
abroad. J. S. Moore, former general
secretary, is at an army camp in Lou
isville, Ky.; L. H. Capehart, assistant
secretary a year ago, is stationed in
Louisiana; Gardiner Smith, last year's
student president. Is .connected with
a Texas camp; Dean Walter Miller
of the Graduate School is doing his
bit In the Y. M. C. A. camps of France.
Founded on the principle of service
to humanity through the improvement
of mind, body and spirit, the Y. M.
C. A. proves true to its trust and rises
to the occasion. Men heretofore in
different supporters of this praise
worthy association are now energetic
workers in its behalf.
The governments of the world have
recognized and admitted the need of
work such as the Y. M. C. A. is doing
for the soldiers in Europe as well as
in America. Thirty-five million dol
lars are being asked for as a special
appropriation to extend the influence
of the organization among the many
armies and the United States is nobly
backing the movement.
As a unit in a world-wide machine
that is doing such remarkable work
at this critical time in the world's
history, the local branch of the Y. M.
C. A. deserves the generous support
of every Columbia citizen, of every
student and of every alumnus able
and willing to augment the useful
ness and efficiency of his Alma Mater.
The war challenges sacrifice on every
hand by contributions to this society
and that, by the purchase of bonds and
the support of orphans, but let us
not forget the constructive forces in
the community that are doing such
necessary work as the Y. M. C. A.
has undertaken in making our self
denials for the good of the men in
arms and the University of Missouri.
Mssouri's boys at Camp Funston
have shown their spirit by subscribing
for $99,450 in Liberty Bonds, an
average of $35.40 a man, while the
whole camp subscribed $726,250, an
agerage of only $18.20 a man. In
companies A and G of Missouri's regi
ment, the average was more than one
bond to a man.

Somebody has said it cost Columbus
$7,000 to discover America. If that's
all it cost the Kaiser had better start
issuing Liberty Bonds for the "come"
is going to be higher this time.
The United States is now building
20,000 airplanes for war service. The
LGermans will have to look up to the
Americans in a few more months.
Perhaps the new tax on cigarettes
with the consequent rise in price will
remove the nicotine stains from many
fingers after all other methods have
failed.

tion; that's all there may be to it.

BRITISH XAVAL SLA'G
In the days before the war the col
lege man was given credit for having
the most distinctive "line" of slang
for the standard variety of boarding
house food, but in the last few years
there has been developed a totally dif
ferent classification among the armies
and navies of Europe, and the British
bluejackets have about the most novel
selection of new slang. It includes not
only the usual items of food, but it
