A CITY IN A NIGHT

No better example of what Amer
icar industry will do is to be found
than in the city of Gary, Indiana. In
1906 sand dunes We're the only occu,
pants Of the present cite of the city.
That year swarm OF tents settled
upon the sand dunes, and the work o.!
While thousand men labored to make
IA perfect harbor for the city out Of
Z little cove on the southern shore
Of Lake Michigan, another thousand
toiled. building homes for the future
inhabitants OF this veritabe Jack S
Baanstall,' of city. Many thousands
!abored in the construction of the
factories, chiefly steel mills, which
were to be the industries OF the city
built in night. Later the wives and
children came, and today, after four
years OF existence. the city has forty
thousand population.
Ten days ago this city performed
another wonderful feat. A church
was builded in an afternoon. Five
nours after the first echo from ham
emr, the last nail had been driven
home. Twenty-Five expert carpenters
did the work, starting at one o'clock
in the afternoon. A vast crowd was
there TO see them start, and frequently
cheered them as the building increased
in size. Working Systematically, and
never ceasing, the workmen completed
their task at six O'clock in the even
ing. The building was complete, and
with the exception Of the plastering
work was ready for occupation.

No feature of the campaign for the
Eleventh Amendment has been more
encouraging than the cordial support
given by the press of the state. In
Missouri are 1,011 newspapers, maga-
zines and periodicals. Of these less
than dozen were openly opposed to
the Eleventh Amendment. Many did
great service in its behalf. Some said
nothing. The unanimity with which
the press came to the support of the
University means much for the III
ture of the great school. The news
papers can be depended upon to ad-
vocate the cause of higher education
in Missouri as represented by the Uni
Versity of Missouri.

THE THANKSGIVING GAME

Unless all indications fail, the game
at Kansas City Thanksgiving is go
ing to be one of the best and hardest
fought games ever played between
Missouri and Kansas. In spite of two
defeats, the Tigers have team, which
when playing in its best form. will
not play second fiddle to any team in
the valley. Kansas always has a good
team and this years aggregation is
no exception to the rule.
This year the game is to be played
at Gordon and Koeppers new stadium.
instead of Association Park. The
stadium will hold more than 10000
people comfortably. This assures an
attendance larger than ever before.
AS this game is to be the last game
in Kansas City between the schools,
more than the usual interest is to be
expected from people in and around
the city on the Kaw.
These features combine to make the
game the greatest ever played west
OF the Mississippi river. Missourians
will strive hard to close the Kansas
City series with a victory in the best
game of football Kansas City has
even seen.

THE AUTOMOBILE.

The automobile first attracted at
tention by recreative contests. Now
it attracts attention by killing people.
The motor car got its start in America
about 1898. when it was feature of
the Three Counties Fair in New Jer-
|sey. Not until somewhat lated did it
cone into general use.
In the course of its existence the au-
tomobile has fulfilled number of
missions: First of all it caused brain
work among inventors. Shortly after
wards it became quite popular means
of getting rid of extra money, and then
the author of society fiction found
room for it in his pages, at about the
same time the wits discovered in it
an anchor for their surplus humor. At
present it is rather out of date 10
write quips and parodies about the
motor car. The automobile joke is
fast taking its place beside the
mother-in-law joke. This however does
not detract from the automobiles i'm
portance. Like the mother-in-law, it is
still very much in evidence
The automobile is used in business
more now than formerly. A cartoon
of several years ago illustrates the
early position Of the motor car. The
car had run into the back of market
wagon which it was pushing along to
the evident distress of the owner of
the wagon. The cartoon was entitled
Business before Pleasure"

FOR ALL COLUMBIA

In making plans for the improve
ment of this town, the first question
should be How can We best benefit
Columbia as whole?" In every new
Ienterprize from introducing new in
dustries to making arrangements for
la street cleaner, the entire town
should be considered. Everyone will
doubtless agree that a chain is no
stronger than its weakest link. A
town resembles a chain-somewhat
Although it can hardly be said that
"a town is no cleaner than it's least
swept street, it is true that the i'm
preston given a visitor by walking
through a number of clean streets is
quickly effaced by walking through
one that to all appearances has never
been swept.
All the plans for the towns better
ment should be comprehensive enough
to include all Columbia. The town
as a whole-not just parts of it's
tne important tning. Il the condition
OF only one part Of town is unsani-
tary, the health OF not only those who
live in that section, but OF the entire
town is menaced.
The movement For all Columbia"
should be adopted by all Columbia
If only a few citizens are interested
in municipal improvements the result
cannot be as great as it would be if
every citizen were working for a big
ger and better town.

SCHOOL-TAUGHT MANNERS

Schools in Kansas ;:ify are teach
ing manners. Ne doubt it is better
that the children ne ,aueht manners
at school than taat. ;hry should not he
taught at all. But has become Of the
home? 1t would seem that going at
the present rate of speed only a few
years need elapse until it will be no
particular advantage for the child to
have a father and mother
From time to time the family gives
up to other institutions duties and re-
sponsibilities that formerly belonged
to it. How much further can this ten
dency go? The ideas of ethics and
morality and religion must be largely
acquired at the mothers knee if they
are ever acquired at all. Schools can
only supplement- the work of the par
net in this regard. But when the
family ceases to do its part what else
can be done but that some other in
stitution shall take up the work where
the family leaves off and do the best it
can?
Only a moments reflection care O.
children are failures. They are di-
rectiy opposed to the order of nature.
Upon the stability of the family and
upon the proper care and training of
children depend the vitality and en-
lightment of every nation,

Vieupoints,
Keep Books Yourself.

To the Editor Of the University Missourian:
1t is the general opinion in the
world that students are long on phil
osophy but short on business, The
story is told of a senior in a certain
college who didn't Know how even to
endorse a check Most students in
the University of Missouri have a bank
account; that, is they are supposed 10
have for three or four days in the
month.
They keep bOoks-in their heads
and banks are kept busy telling bal
ances. One day recently a Columbia
merchant who has a large trade with
students had thirty dollars in bad
checks returned. marked no funds. >
This was because the students didn't
have the money in the bank Just at
the time the checks were drawn. 1t
was just slight error in bookkeeping
1t ought 10 be hulniliating to a Uni,
versity community that no checks
accepted" sign are posted in stor \
two weeks before school closes.
All the merchants in town have to
remind them of some 'old-timers'
whose checks they still carry as cash
in their safes. A good business mar
guards his checks as he would his
honor. IN the business world a mar
at once loses standing when his
checks are uncertain. A student
should either learn to keep books OF
not attempt to carry bank account
The present practice, which is quite
general, is disgraceful, and reflects
upon the honor and standing OF the
University. NJ

Need More Lockers,


&C the EditcT Of the University Mlssour!a2:
Something should be done to stop
the thievery that goes on at the gym
nasium from day to day. They use:l
to take the things that they found
lying around loose but now they break
the locks and steal sweaters, towels
and anything of value that they can
get their hands on. Opportunity for
this pilfering is offered by as many
as two or three men using single
locker. The locker is thus kept open
for much longer time during the
day. In other words we need more
lockers. NJ. S.
