Put Up Some Hooks.

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
Some hooks ought to be provided for
the boys to hang their hats and coats
on in the library lobby" The hats
naturally get mixed and it is necessary
To 90 through the whole stack before
you find your hat. One fellow hunted
for a whole hour Friday and then had
10 90 home with the chill breeze play
ing through his locks. Of course, the
fellow who gets out of the library
first gets the pick of hats. but it is
pretty hard on the one who leaves a
bran new hat and when he comes back
finds crown covered with hieroglyph-
les a fellow does not delight in hav-
ing his hat stepped on. and generally
mashed up and. besides being a matter
Of Inconvenience it gives the room an
mtidy appearance. E. A.

BETTER TIMES IN IRELAND.

The prospects of good times in Ire
land are becoming brighter. The Irish
have always been good workers but
they have been divided because of the
difference i'm political and religious be-
iiefs between the north and the south.
High freight rates, and the eNaction>
of landlords have done much to in
crease the poverty of the people.
The old political parties have given
way to societies whose aim Is to pro
duce national unity. Among the prof
ecte proposed by the Sim Fein society
are: manufactures must be built up:
Iri,hmen must not buy imported goods
Peoples banks must be formed: Irish
Americans should help i'm the industrial
development: the beet sugar industry
must be developed and the bogs drain
ed. 1t is hoped that the land. most
of which is now in the possession of
the large landholderS. will be entirely
owned by the peasants in twenty years.
Lace making and silk embroidery in
dustries have been fostered The CO.
operative system has been established
and is doing its work well. The tech
nical education of the young men Is
doing much to raise the standard of
the industrial conditions.

Why Seek Holidays?

i" the Editor of the University Missouran:
Why is it that all students are crazy
for a holiday at any time. and as many
as they can get. when they are paying
out money every day for their educa
tion. and some working for it! 1t is
natural. Yet when you think of what
an education-you wonder how il is
that they are more than willing to get
every holiday possible and cut" any

But when holiday is given don't

News.

The question has often been asked.
from what source is the word News"
derived? There have been many an
swers, but the exact derivation has
been n puzzle to many learned Philol-
ogists.
The answer most often quoted Is
that the word is composed OF the first
letter of the four cardinal points OF
the compass, North, East West and
South"
The Sunday Magazine gives the fol-
lowing inverse, as one OF several ia
nous epigrams:
The word explains itself without q
muse.
And the four letters speak from
whence comes news;
From North. East, West and South
the solutions made,
Each quarter gives accounts OF war
and trade"

Something Of SnowstOrn.

The oldtimers who stop long enough
to conjugate few thoughts have not
forgotten the big snowstorm that fell
upon eastern Colorado on the 2Sth of
May, 1867. This snow amounted to a
fall of two feet deep on level and
was the heaviest precipitation that
has thus far been experienced by the
the settlers. The few white people
living on the Arkansas at that time
were fearful that the river would over
flow It's banks and the settlements
would be flooded, but such was not the
case. although every stream and rivu-
let coming down the mountain sides
was swollen to torrent in conse-
quence OF the rapidity with which the
snow melted. The snow fell continu-
ously for thirty-six hours but on the
morning of May S0th the sun shone
out warm and clear and by nightfall
not a vestige OF the snow remained on
the ground although We had none of
Pinchot's forest reserve in those days
to hold 1t back. The crops that year
were the most bountiful ever known.

SAYS THAT DUSTY
ROADS MEANS DISEASE

Washington, April 2-"I have no.
ticed that whenever l see bad roads. l
invariably see neglected. unkept. un-
washed children. II l travel along q
good road, l see children we'll cared
for, do not say that one thing direct
ly follows the other, but they undoubt-
edly go together. A community that Is
negligent of its roads will be negligent
of its children, and a community that
is negligent of its children will not
produce good citizens, nor above all
things will it have a high standard
of public health.
That seemingly long-distance obser-
walton on cause and effect was recent
ly voiced by DR.. Allerton c. Cushman,
assistant director of the ONCE OF
public roads of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, at a meeting
of the American Public Health asso-
citation.
DR. Cushman was asked yesterday TO
justify the statement. 1t is l think,
JUSTIFIED by a day spent in an auto
mobile in any country section" said
he. "and, insisting as l do on the con-
dition, think it has a bearing on the
question so frequently asked by un-
thinking Americans: What possible
relation can there be between the pub
lie road and public health%

NEW THEORY 10 DO AWAY
WITH CRUEL WAR

Frederick Bangster of New York
City has invented a gun that by a
mysterious force can discharge 1000
900 half-inch bullets in an hour. 1t
is now carefully guarded in building
occupied by the Standard Water
Meter company in Flatbush, Long Is
land The machine is not fred by
powder. 1t makes no noise, no smoke
no flash, no odor, no fumes. No crank
has to be turned by hand. Compressed
air is not the force used, SO there is
not even a Kissing sound produced.
No dynamite, gun-cotton, nitroglycer-
ine or other chemical or explosive
is employed to send these bullets
hurling through. space at the rate Of
500 a second, or 100000 an hour, If
the gun is pushed to its maximum We
locity There is no recoil, the gun
never gets heated, it can not explode,
and two men can operate it. The
cost of firing 100000 bullets il
about $40. The inventor says that
ten of these half-inch guns, firing in
the aggregate 20,O00,0O bullets an
hour, would sweep away an army of
2OO, 900 men within sixty minutes. If

FOR CLEANLINESS
IN HANDLING DLK

This is a word to housewives! You
were complaining about the milk sour
ing. OF course, it is the fault OF
the dairyman, and you don't hesitate
to tell him so. You expect the milk
to stay sweet and at least to hnd
enough cream in the morning for the
coffee. Possibly you are somewhat to
blame, at least in setting bad ex-
ample. You are not all guilty; but
many of you are, and, strange as it
may seem, in many kitchens where
one would expect to find the best san
itary conditions, there is often the
very place where the housewife or the
maid empties the milk bottle and al
lows it to set all day without scald-
ing and then has the audacity. to hand
the dairyman dirty bottle all crust
ed over inside and around the rim
with dried cream He would perhaps
be serving you right If he returned
you milk in the same bottle. which be
NO doubt often does. II is far better;
at least, to set the dairyman a good
example in cleanliness, and the prob
abilities are that you will get a bet
ter quality of milk, that will keep
sweet longer. and altogether 1t will
tend to sweeten your disposition as
we'll. Motto: Don't quarrel with the
dairyman; set him good example
