On Final EXAMS"

Editor the MissOurian: From Kan
sas Notes in the Kansas City Star:
THE University Kansan says: The
sane action of the University of Ne
braska is doing away with final eX
aminations is to be commended The
Kansan has struck popular chord
Many students who are now sOrely
veXed would be made happy by abol
iShing final examinations"
This will find adherents at Missouri
A more fiendish engine of torture than
finals was never matched up" When
the prof knows anyhow whether a
student is going to pass up or not,
what's the use? Besides, there is a
sneaking notion abroad that the finals
are not more popular with some of the
professors than they are with the stu.
dents.

CINE in breeches; never induiged In
poetical quotations, anecdotes, or
flights of fancy"
Besides his newspaper writing he
did some literary work. His chiel
book was the Thirty Years View OF
the United States Senate" He also
wrote an "Abridgement of the De-
bates of Congress" The style pf
these is heavy and cumbersome and
shows egotism, which was his great
est weakness. But in some of his
literary speeches his style was more
pleasing and readable.
To one who wants the whole story
of this remarkable man, his troubles
with Jackson and his duels might be
interesting. A full account of them
can be found in any life of Benton.
Although Immediately preceding his
death good will toward him was at a
low ebb, a great wave of feeling swept
over the country when his death be-
came known. All the honor due so
great a statesman was shown. His
body was buried i'm the BellefOntaine
Cemetery, ST. Louis. and his monu-
ment is inscribed with that utterance
of his that calls to mind the greatest
service he did for his country:
There is the East;
There is the road to India

Girls, Keep Away From
Stage" Says Blanche Ring

Girls, don't go on the stage; it's
lonely life" is Blanche Rings ad-
vice TO the stage-struck maidens who
are continually writing or seeking a
talk with her
Not only are you lonely" says the
buoyant star OF The Wall Street
Girl" in which she will be seen IN
the Garrick theater next week, but
you can't eat what you want TO eat;
you can't sleep when you want to
sleep; you can't have a home and
children when you want a home and
children; you can't have your own
way about anything when your femi-
nine heart wants its own way about
everything you can't live the tradi-
tional gay life and long continue to
live; in fact, you can't do anything
but live for your art.
Few girls work up from the chorus
10 be stars or leading women. It's
almost impossible But, even II a
girl should finally reach the universal
goal OF being a star. It's a lonely life,
She must live in hotels most OF the
time and the best are sometimes
none too good II is hard for her to
get congenial company-she must be
so careful don't you know. She must
refuse practically all invitations TO
dine, TO wine, to joy-ride. She has
time, she has energy only for her art.
Il am not excepting chorus girls.
Some people have the impression that
the chorus girl lives life OF revel.
That is grossly erroneous and unjust.
More than likely, any chorus girl you
may pick out is sending money home
to mother and younger sisters. The
few who try the so-called gay life
don't last long They can't stand the
pace Nobody can. Then, too. the
idea that most chorus girls wed mil
lionaires is only pleasant dream.
The woman who succeeds must
live entirely for her work. She can't
eat as much as she wants 10, and
often has 10 forego just the things
that she likes. Why, think of u,
