NEW PLAN AND COMPLAINTS

The commission plan compels the
mayor and commissioners to devote
heir entire lime to the public service
"a government at work every day in
the year. If an emergency arises the
municipality can meet it; if there is a
complaint on the part of a citizen any
where, it can be answered and cor.
rected the same day; if there is a
street to repair, defective catch
basin that overflows, sidewalk to
mend-a telephone call to the city
hall is all that is necessary to bring
the workmen at once to remedy the
complaint.
Under the old ward plan, the council
meets perhaps once each week-at
night. The municipal government is
actually at work two or three hours
every seven days. If citizen has a
complaint, he must visit the council
at night. His complaint is referred to
a committee; the committee meets in
another week and refers the complaint
to the superintendent of streets, who
refers it to foreman, who takes his
time to investigate the trouble and
refers it back to the street superin-
tendent. The superintendent refers it
back to the council committee, and the
council committee refers it back to
the council, where it goes over under
the head of Unfinished Business" for
another meeting.
The contrasts afforded in the fore
going provisions Of the ward repre-
sentation plan and the commission
form of government fairly illustrate |
the distinction between the old rule |
and the new, and clearly illustrate the
of commission rule over
the present system of ward govern
ment.

WOMEN DO THE WORK THERE
Life Of Filipino Girls Consists Chiefly
Of Labor for Someone Else

Life Of Filipino Girls Consists Chiefly
of Labor for Someone Else.
Filipino women know how to win
husbands. 1t is a common thing in
the islands to see girl, young and
brown and strong, crushing rice with
a heavy wooden mallet, while around
her sit number of SWANS, looking
on, but never dreaming of offering to
help. And the girl doesn't expect it.
She pounds cheerfully away, and by
and-by her reward comes in a hus-
band to work for.
| Life accustoms the Filipino women
to labor at very early age. AS a
tiny girl she is rarely seen without
an appendage in the shape Of baby
brother or sister perched on her little
brown hip. When she grows a few
inches taller and a few degrees
stronger she is pressed into service
as water carrier, bearing heavy Jars
of water poised gracefully on her
head from the river to her home.
Now, too, she works in the fields,
and a vivid bit of color she makes
in her short, killed, scarlet skirt.
When she becomes a woman-and
she is woman at fifteen or before
she may have small shop to tend,
and there is the rice to beat and much
other work to do.
Marriage brings no vacation She
is pretty sure to have many children
to care for. She tends the fields,
cooks and frequently has stall in
the market for several hours a day.
But when the women are really old
their rest time comes. They sit quiet
ly by. looking on as life goes past
them, but taking part no more In
spite of the hard labor they have had
there is generally very peaceful look |
in the brown, wrinkled faces of these
old women.-Philippines Monthly.

CLEANER ANDFASTER
FOOTBALL THIS YEAR
Prof. C.. E.. Brewer Believes the
New Rules Will Make
Better Game.
ONE IS HIS SUGGESTION
Chance ofWinningby Luck
Is Much Reduced,
@ He Says.
ONE IS HIS SUGGESTION

The changes in the football rule
made by the intercollegiate rules CON
mittee at New York, February 3, ar
all beneficial, according to Prof. C. L
Brewer. director of athletics at tn,
University of Missouri. They will
tend to open up the game and max
| it faster, he says.
The reason Tor reducing the three
minute intermiss.on between the frs
aud second and the third and fourtl
quarters to two minutes is approved
by almos; all football trainers" h,
says. The old intermission Otter
kept the men idle on bad days il
the center of the field with nothing
to do but lay down on the cold ground
The trainers were not allowed to take
them off the field, and the intermission
was really not worth much.
Most trainers are in favor of abol
ishing the intermission altogether
They are in favor of changing goals at
the end of fifteen minutes playing
but not permitting the men to loaf
around the field.
"The rule providing that throwing
a player to the ground after the ref.
cree has declared the ball dead may
be considered unnecessary roughness,
is fine. That will eliminate much of
the dirty and rough work in the game.
THE changes made on the forward
pass are good, too. This year all pen
alties under the rule regulating the
forward pass will apply from the point
of the down instead of the place from
which the pass was made. This will
stop the wrangling. so frequent in the
last five years, over the exact spot from
which the passes are made. 1t is diff
ficult to tell exactly when a man is
where he was when he threw
the ball.
Then if forward pass is fumbled.
it is to be considered incomplete. This
will put premium on accurate pass
ing and handling of the ball, and will
tend to cut out the element of luck
which has attended the forward pass
since its adoption. Many games have
been won by pure luck with the for
ward pass, but this will not be so
,asy this fall.
Il am glad to see that the duty of
Ieeping time has been transferred
rom the field Judge to the umpire.
recommended that myself. You. see
he field judge is altogether too busy
o tend to the time-keeping properly.
Then only three men are to be allowed
o walk up and down the side lines in
tead of the five authorized by the
resent rules.
Another good rule is that if the ball
trikes an official. it shall not become
cad. but play shall continue. Min.
esota lost a game to the University
Michigan last year because of that
ule. On a bounding kick, Minnesota
ecovered and made touchdown, but
was not allowed because the ball had
'uched an official in passing. Min
esofa would have won the game other
ise. am in favor of all, these
nanges. They will tend to make a
eaner and faster game"

4 Poem, for Today
THE NIGHT coMETH.

Abba, Master, Lord of all.
Who seeth hero and sparrow fall,
Incline Thine ear to earnest cry
OF one of many who soon must die;
Workers weary with constant strife
And grapple for bread in busy life.
Wilt Thou be near when the day is
done,
And darkness gathers with setting sun,
When the damp of lethe is on my brow
And the Night comes on? ! know not
how.
Shall I pass beyond. from busy street
My means unheard mid Gathering
feet?
Shall kindred gather about my bed,
When fearful last farewell is said?
Or alone in the night with no one by
To wet parched lips or hear last sigh? ?
l know not; but the time and place
For every man comes on apace.
And wher'er it is, wilt Thou be there
AS the Night comes on2 / know not
where.
To answer how, or where or when
Is hidden deep beyond my ken.
And whether the end shall come my
way
In clouds of night or glare of day,
BY mishap, bullet or cleaning steel,
The surging wave or whirling wheel,
Or lingering waste of flesh and bone.
l know no more than clod or stone.
Be as it may; be with me then
AS the Night comes on-I know not
when.
John B. Carey.

FOR A BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS

| 10 Ine MlSSourlan: reports OF the
beauties of the University of Missouri
campus have long since spread over
the country and add greatly to her
prestige among American universities,
and it is no small part of the pride
of state that its leading educational
institution should afford standard of
fine scenery and high class mainte-
nance.
Unfortunately some parts of the
University grounds are disconnected
and more money could be used in main
tenance, but time will remedy this
fault and We hope that that time will
not be long hence.
Probably the most notable char
acteristic that has gained praise for
the campus is the beautiful lawns.
1t is more than remarkable, the way
in which Missouri University students
have respected the use of their
grounds.
The stranger who is visiting us is
Immediately struck with the idea that
there are no keep to the walk" signs
and no existing university rule where
by students are forbidden to step on
the grass until o'clock in the after
noon. Here the matter of keeping
paths out of the lawn is in the hands
of the students themselves. The su-
perintendent of grounds can keep the
grass cut and seeded, but the students
see that it is not constantly torn up.
There is no reason why students
in leisure hours should not enjoy
strolling over the lawns, but during
class periods when there is a definite
line of travel from building to build
ing, we should be careful to use the
walks.
Why "cut corners" or cross small
patches of grass at the entrance of |
buildings? 1t is poor way to econom-
ize time. We hope the day is at hand |
when he can even do away with |
chains. Such things are symbolical of |
4 reform institution and surely our
University is not such.
The baseball season is coming and |
he temptation to play on the lawns is
great one. But remember that the
commencement season is also coming
when we must make an impression
lpon visiting guests.
Let each college see that individuals
Keep on the walks. Every one has a
'ersonal interest in this matter and
should not hesitate kindly to remind
forgetful classmate that the lawn is Il
o be kept free from paths.
Will the engineers continue their {
ommendable vigil over the main quad 1
angle and will other colleges follow
heir example? The academic stu r
ents have fine lawn south of their If
uilding upon which many improve '
nents will be made this spring. and
should be beauty spot" II
Agriculture and horticulture have In
ach most imposing front which will In
ause much complimentary comment IA
the adjacent lawns are kept green. S
ct us all cooperate at once toward lC
iaking Missouri the most beautiful n
University in the Middle West. 1t will III
Ike several years, but we can all lend a
hand. Be careful where you throw +,
apers and don't hesitate now and q
len to gather up stray one. 1t is II
o disgrace to keep your yard clean. Ir,

most desirable condition from every
point of view. We feel that visit of

out any difficulty or misunderstanding
that may happen to exist, and in gen
eral, permit the jobbers aud customers
to get on better footing
The members of the Bureau, and
particularly those who will be of the
special party, send you and the clti-
zens Of New Iberia a most cordial in
vitation to visit them aboard the
special train. and trust that you and
many others will find it agreeable and
expedient to accept.
New Orleans has often been CRITICS
ed tor not seeking trade in her own
territory. This may or may not be
true; however, if it existed in the past,
it cannot he said now. for through the
activity of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Bureau of tie Progressive
Union, these trips of confidence and
fellowship, terminating in business
have been inaagurated
with the best results This is the sec
opd trip of the Bureau since its organ
ization as "A part OF the Progte sive
Union, and there will be many others.
Trusting that we may have the pleas
