The Irish Always at the Forefront.

Scrutiny of the death list at the
Chicago. stocky ards fire reveals the
fact that of the firemen who were
buried by the fall of the iron canopy.
at the Morris plant ten among the
twenty-three who have been identified
bore Irish names. Chief James
Koran, Captain Patrick Collins.
Captain Dennis Doyle, Lieutenant
James Fitzgerald, Thomas Costello,
Nicholas Crane, Nicholas Doyle,
Michael McInerny, Albert Moriarty,
and Peter Powers testified with their
lives to their fidelity to duty.
It is not enough to instance the un-
doubted gift for politics of the Irish
to accountfor such fact as this
Wherever there is danger there are
Pat and Mike and Dannis. The
Irish soldier Is as familiar q figure IS
the Irish fireman. In the woods of
the far north the Irishman Is not
found next the steam radiator in the
sash-and-blind factory; he is on the
carriage in the sawmill, telling trees
or working on; the rollway in the
heavy timber, and driving logs in
streams white with rapids between the
suspension of operations in the woods
and the starting of the mill
This high level of physical courage
is the more remarkable when we look
at the. environment which has pro-
dused the Irishman. The three great
cradles of heroism in the history of
the world have been the desert, the
mountains and the sea. The output
of the first is typified by the Arabs,
the Moors and the Mongois; that of
the second by the Swiss, the Monte
negrins and the Tyrolese; the Greeks,
the Japanese, the Dutch and the Nor
wegians show what the sea does for
the spirit of man. But the Irish have
been trained in none of these schools.
Ireland is green with vegetation from
the Giants Causeway to the Cove of
Cork; the so-called Irish mountains
are but beautiful and benignant hills
of gentle contour: and while Ireland
is an island, and there are many Irish
fishermen, her people have been
pastoral rather than maritime since
time began, and the sea has had q
place relatively small in her life.
AS We look at this problem of Irish.
courage more closely, it only appears
the more puzzling. The Irishman has
a nimble wit and a facile tongue; it is
easy for him to evade, when SO dis
posed, the physical result of differ
ence OF opinion; he is naturally
courteous and sympathetic. A race
thus gifted, living in land not easily
defensible, ought to be low in
courage, and ready to sacrifice any,
thing rather than face danger or pro-
woke strife. Instead of which the race
has such an affinity for danger that
whenever bullets are flying, rocks ]
blowing up, trees falling down, fires
blazing or water threatening to en-
gulf, wherever bad men are to be con-
trolled or nature defed, there in the
front rank is the lrishman. What is
the key to the mystery? psf. Francis

Viewpoints

Editor the MissOurian:- n:-FoOtball
in the American university has al
ways been the king of sports, even
over the national game. While base
ball. track and basketball have all
been recognized. in the West, at
least, they have occupied minor posi-
tiOns. In the smaller colleges where
there has been no football, or where
the teams have continually been poor
in quality. in basketball and base
ball.
While perhaps it is only natural
that the rOugher sport should create
more enthusiasm and receive more
support, the other games have not
aroused the enthusiasm that they
have merited. 1t is in this connec-
tion that it will be interesting to
note the effect of the new student
activity tickets which are now in
vogue here. With the increased at
tendance assured by this system
and a good schedule, there is no
reason why the student body should
not stand behing the other teams
with the same vigor with which it
supports football
Particularly is this true at this
season of the year in basketball.
Mere attendance on the games is not
enough. Let everybody go out and
carry the football roofing spirit into
this sport. Let us demonstrate for
once that We are behind the basket
ball Tigers with the same enthusiasm
that We showed for the football elev-
en- all fall. "A. NJ.

ORIENTAL IMMIGRATION.

The friendly relation between the
United States of America and the
would-be United States of China is
increasing every day. The great
question of immigration is partly
solved by the decision of the United
States government that henceforth
American immigration officers will
be stationed at Shanghai and Hong
kong to issue passports to citizens
of China who want to come to this
country.
This measure adopted by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
will surely enhance the friendship
between these two nations. 1t pleas
es every Chinese.
1t was customary for the United
States immifration officer to lock the
scholarly and well-educated Chinese
from Asia in a log-cabin for exami-
nation allowing them to land.
Eenceforth, there will be no such
international breach of courtesy COM
nitted on this side of the Pacific.

Great Composers
MendelSShOn.

Jacob Ludwig Felix Mendelsshon-
BarthOldy, musician and composer,
was born on Friday, February 8,
1909. at Hamburg, Germany, and
died at Leipsic, November 4, 1S47.
He was the second child and eldest
son of Abraham Mendel. a Jewish
banker of Hamburg. and Leah Sal
omon, a resident of Berlin, a Jew
ish lady of considerable property and
attainments.
The name Mendlesshon-that is,
son of Mendel-is the ordinary Jew
ish oriental way of forming a name
Felix Mendlesshon. as he is common
L. known, was born in prosperity,
reared in plenty and was at all times
surrounded by conditions conducive
to success. His naturalness was
shown by his constant reference to
his own foibles. He was fond of
idleness and made great boast of
il However, he managed to turn off
a wonderful amount of work.
He was very fond of rice. milk and
cherry pie. His attitude toward the
world is clearly set forth in state
ment taken from one of his letters:
Il do not in the least concern my
self as to what people wish or praise
or pay for. but solely as to what |
myself consider good"
Before Felix was 3 years of age
his father took him and his elder
sister Fanny to Berlin on business
trip. While here they received
piano lessons from Madame BigOt.

In his eighth year Felix played on
the piano with remarkable ability.
In his ninth year he made his first
public appearance. In 1920 he be-
gan systematic work as composer, al
though he had written fifty or sixty
complete pieces before that time. He
was prolific composer and wrote
operas, cantatas. OratOries and songs.

followed by the death of his sister.

SHORT COURSE FOR GIRLS.

Because a woman prepares three
meals a day is no evidence that she
is a trained cook A woman might
make the clothes for an entire family
and yet be a poor seamstress. Be-
cause country girls usually get con-
siderable experience at cooking,
sewing and the household arts, is
not proof that they can do any of
these things well.
The University of Missouri is Of
fering a short course in Home Econ
cmics for girls. The course is de-
signed primarily for farm girls The
state school has, for several years,
provided the opportunity for farm
boys to gain scientific training in
agricultural work. The course has
proven highly satisfactory and has
been fruitful in practical results.
Upon the theory that the care of the
home is just as essential as the till
ing of the soil or the breeding of
livestock, the course for girls has
been instituted as a correlated
course.
Lack of variety is the great bane
and bore of farm life The average
farmer follows in the footsteps OF
his father. no new methods and no
broadening of scope. The average
housewife has an extremely limited
knowledge of culinary science. she,
knows little of fancy work" and

GIFT.MAKING AT CHRISTMAS.

The exchanging of gifts is a per-
nicious habit. 1t destroys the real
joy for Christmas and breaks down
the sacredness of the season. 1t
leads to prodigal expenditure. fire.
quent embarrassment of friends, and
often to lifelong enmity.
1T is more blessed to give than
to receive" True. But do you know
the blessing that comes from spon-
taneous giving? Do your pride, self
interest and conventionality inter-
fere with the Christmas likeness of
your giving?
The duty" of giving is robbing
Christmas of it's blessing. of the deep
est joys of Yuletide-the holly, the
C.istletoe, and hundred loving
deeds and generous thoughts.
Are you big enough to refuse to
make a gift this year, except good
cheer, or to give only to those whom
you love? Then next year you will
find presents coming only from those
who love you, and it will be easier
to give where the spirit of generosity
dictates 1t will cost a good deal.
You will suffer this year the ignom-
iny of having received everything
and giving nothing.
Wouldn't it be worth the cost to
get back the joy of spontaneous CIV
ing, and the true spirit of Christ
