Washington Notes.
Washington, April 81

washington, April Il.
Other cities like San Francisco
and New Orleans may contend
for the prize of an international
exposition lasting from May to
November, but the capital of the
United States is in a perpetual
state of exposition and growing
more interesting year after year.
AS transportation facilities i'm
prove, as population grows, as
wealth increases, Washington be-
comes more and more attractive
and more and more the Mecca of
hundreds of thousands of pill
grims. During the past week
Daughters of the American Rev
olution were in session at their
beautiful temple facing the plaza
south of the White House. The
President addressed them in lam
guage in which fiattery and irony
We'd with each other, but so deft-
ly yelled that it is doubtful if the
dear ladies knew all he was think
ing. 1t is as good as comic op-
era to see this convention in full
session, the stage banked with
flowers and flowers bedecking
the monstrous hats of two thous-
and ladies in the audience, beau
tiful maiden pages in beautiful
gowns moving about on the stage
and through the halls, everything |
suggestive of elegance, wealth
and vanity. The roll call resur-
rects the names of Mrs. Martha
Washington, Mrs. Lucy Jetfer-
son, Abigail Warren, Lucretia
Hamilton and many other names
that carry one back to that gold
en- period of our history when, |
since, the historical school books
do not say otherwise, everybody |
was patriotic, honest and good.
Well, long live illusion and down
with hobble skirts!

Another convention, the A
merican Academy of Sciences, is
in session in the new National
Museum. A lecture on the ocean
was delivered by Sir John Muir
ray of Glasgow, Scotland, last
night in which he told some of
the results of the Challenger ex-
pedition in 1889 of which he was
commander. The afternoon ses-
sion was enlivened by seven pa
pers on astronomical subjects.
The subject of infantile paralysis
was treated by DR.. Flexner, who
has become famous for his con !.
nection with the Rockefeller Med
ical Institution.

PROFITABLE PLAY.

Amateur theatricals have been more
in the limelight at the University OF
Missouri this year than ever before
The productions have ranged from
Shakespeare down to Homemade
|or perhaps some other word than

judgment is determined by the size
of audiences. At any rate, there have
been many shows, and all have
pleased.
Study is the acknowledged purpose
Of students at university, but-wheth-
er it is the fault of the students or
the studies-they demand some thing
other than books and laboratories and
lectures. The school which offered
nothing but work wouldn't have any
Jacks to make dull nowadays.
Amateur productions might well be
justified by consideration other than
recreative, but from this viewpoint
alone they are worth while. There
is much hard work for the persons in
such production, but the pleasure
which they get from it more than
makes a balance. And for the persons
who face the stage, there are few
things more delightful than seeing fel-
low students seeking to entertain for
he mere pleasure of entertaining.

GOOD ROADS.

The good roads movement has beer
discussed from many viewpoints. The
effect it would have on the farmer
and the back-to-the-farm movement
has been taken up. Less at.
tention however has been paid to
the effect of good roads would have
on the community as whole and the
industries there. Curtis Hill. state
highway engineer, touched this side of
the question recently.
You have got to have good roads
II you are going to run the electric
line and canning factories" he said
How are the farmers going to get
their milk and produce to the factories
and electric lines without good roads
roads that are good every day of
the year,
The more one considers the matter,
the more clearly he sees that the good
roads problem is a factor in almost
every other problem of the commun-
ity. Good roads form a large part
Of the foundation of which prosperity
rests.

THE COOPERATIVE KITCHEN

One of the few solutions to the
present day servant problem Is the
so-called cooperative kitchen. This
scheme of specialized and systemized
kitchen labor has been tried with
great success in Carthage, Mo.
The idea presented itself to a wo-
man who tired of the perpetual drudg-
cry Of three meals a day and attend
ant home cares. In consultation with
friends she proposed that a number of
congenial families should rent a va
cant house, conveniently situated. en-
ploy competent woman to take
charge of the servants and to super
wise the purchase and planning of
the meals. Each member was to pay
an initiation fee of about s. with
which the kitchen was equipped.
Each family furnished it's own table
dishes, linen and silver. The expense
is $3.50 a week to each individual.

The advantages of this plan are
many. II is more economical than eat

HUNTED SPECIMENS IN EGYPT

Harvard Professor Returns From Six
Years Archaeology Research.
Prof. George A. Reisner, who holds
the chair of Egyptology and Semitic
archeology at Harvard. has returned
to America after spending six years
in Egypt and Palestine at the head Of
one of the most successful expedi-
tions in the history of archaeology.
Among the most important discover
les made by the expedition were the
unearthing of the oldest specimens
|cf Hebrew writing in the Holy land
and the discovery in the pyramids of
many pieces of the finest specimens
OF Egyptian art now extant. As
result of the six years work, the
number of known Egyptian works Of
art has been more than doubled.
The Boston, Harvard and the Cairo
museums have been the beneficiaries
of the work, for in addition to his posi-
tion with Harvard, Prof Reisner, who
had spent eight years in research work
in Egypt previously. was commissioned
by the Boston museum and by the
Egyptian government.
When that government decided to
build a dam in the Nile at Assouan
near the first cataract it was deter |
mined to eXcavate the area which |
would be flooded and the Nubian arch

Viewpoints.
Whose Fault is 1t.

Editor the MissOurian: About Sep.
tember 10, next fall, students will be
coming back into Columbia. AS soon
as they hit the platform they will be
gin asking fellow students about the
football prospects. viii Blank play
this fall, and did Smith make his
twenty-four hours last year?" Every.
one will be wanting to know whether
last years gridiron heroes will be
eligible for the team that is to lick
Kansas again.
Perhaps some of these students will
be disappointed to hear that Blank
failed in two hours last semester and
that Smith won't be eligible. Then
these same students will begin to
blame the aforesaid heroes for negli-
gence in their studies and deplore the
chances of overcoming the Jayhawk-
ers. Blank and Smith not eligible,
The must have neglected their studies
outrageously and now have shown
themselves up.
But will these same students think
that they might have had something
to do with it? Will they realize that
Blank and Smith were declared in
eligible because they chummed with
their admirers and went to too many
plays or dances? Smith and Blank
are popular and have lot of friends
to run around with. And when
football player has a hundred good
fellow friends to chum with he is
naturally not much inclined to study.
" In the aggregate, Smith and Blank
have probably lost out on a good
many nights of study. When a husky
football player gets behind he feels |
like giving up hope, and can't pull |
himself together again. The result |
is that he fails to pass that physics
or that quiz on con-
tracts.
Now, whose fault is it that Smith
and Blank were declared Ineligible? |
Of course it is admitted that it is
great deal their own fault. But can't
'art of the blame be justly shifted on

first in the country to offer instruction
in agriculture doing the summer ses-
siOns. About six years ago DIR. j. c.
Whitten, professor of horticulture, Of
fered course in agriculture and
taught it doing the Summer without

Three years ago the plan of hav-
ing regular prescribed course in
agriculture to be given during the
summer sessions was inaugurated.
Regular work is given in agronomy,
animal husbandry, animal breeding
