Teachers Who Inspired


'sOne of the most inspiring teach
ers | ever studied under" said Dr.
c. A. EllwOOd, was Prof. Friedrich
Paulsen, formerly professor of
philosophy in University of Berlin
He was most cOngenial and lovable
man. Unlike many of the German
professors he was very accessible to
the students. He was a special ia
vOrite with the American students
at the University of Berlin because
OF his easy German. His pronunci-
alton was clear and his sentences
short. He frequently used his words
in English order rather than in Ger
man. This made his German easy
to understand.
Few men had larger interest and
sympathy for their students than he
possessed"

LOVERS LEAP.

Did a lover leap when the now ia
nous cliff south of town was named?
We hardly think so,-yet he might.
There is no telling but that some
rejected Indian brave may have
dashed himself on the rocks be-
low or that some rustic Rufus may
have thus deserted his plow and
sweetheart in a fit of despondency.
But today the cliff holds a differ
ent significance. Herds of lazy cat
tie stretch themselves in the morn
ing sun upon its heights. Engineers
plant their transits on its outer
edges. Now and then a track man
pauses there a moment for breath.
AS evening approaches strollers sit
in twos while the shadows lehgthen
in the valley below.
Certainly the cliff is no longer the
climax of lovers woes. But the name
still clings and gives food upon
which amateur poets subsist.

New Things in Shop

No costume is complete these days
without a frill, and the shops are
showing frills in every shape and
size. Most of them are side frills,
wide at the top and narrowing off at
the bottom, but a few are of the
two-sided style with band of inser-
ton down the middle. Have you no.
ticed how they are growing? Each
new lot which comes from the manu-
facturers is larger than the previous
one and the designs are clever, pro-
viding Milady with great variety
from which to choose.
The latest novelty in hair decOra-
ton for the evening is. the flower
made of ribbon. Roses. pansies,
daisies, all are initiated in soft satin
ribbon, and are wonderfully like real
blossoms in appearance. Sometimes
they are combined in clusters or
sprays, but again single rose is
made to be worn alone. These dec
OF ations are used for belts and SASH
e. too. A ribbon girdle brought to-
gether and finished off with a small
bunch of dainty rosebuds, one design
which is being shown. is very eff
fective.

THE ROLLER TOWEL.

The bottom long ago fell out OF
the Old Oaken Bucket. 1t did duty
in song and in practice until some
scientist came along and analyzed
the water in the well and the moss
on the bucket and found-microbes.
Since then We have had bored
wells and filters and other innova-
tions.
Then the scientist turned his mi
croscope on the public drinking cup
and he found more microbes. Since
then we have had individual drink
ing cups and sanitary fountains and
individual communion sets. We were
taught that disease lurked in the
public drinking cup and in some
states laws were passed abolishing
it. The inherent right of man to get
poisoned at any old water cooler has
not yet been tampered with by our
liberty loving Missouri legislatures.
One by one our revered institu-
tions have given way to innovations.
The roller towel is one of the last
to fall. The bright, white limelight
CT science has been turned on the
roller towel. Is it doomed to go the
route of the old oaken bucket, the
microbe-filled bucket, the germ
crusted bucket We once loved so
Well? Is it to suffer the fate of the
public drinking cup?
What is the future of the roller
towel? 1t was the emblem of de-
mocracy 1t was here that the fam
lily or the hands gathered to wipe
their faces and exchange microbes.
No distinction was made between
germs. Each new user of the towel
contributed to the common fund. II
was a sort of cooperative institu-
ton for the care and culture OF
germs. IN printing offices, on the
farm, in shops and stores and board
ing houses, the roller towel has done
duty. What is to be its reward?

NOVEMBER.

On scores of gridirons throughout
the United States football teams in
amor of pads and cloth are making
ready for the few final games, which
will decide whether they have had
a satisfactory season or the reverse.
Every afternoon till dusk comes
Ger the field the coaches drive their
en- up and down the hard and
trampled ground, trying to get more
speed, and still more speed. for upon
that victory depends in the game of
today. Then, when the painting men
can hardly see, the scrubs are
brought on the field and the Varsity
is thrown against them time and
after time, the coaches still behind
them pointing out faults and urging
them on.
Then a welcome command ''All
in" and the men, scarcely able to
walk, go in to the gym.
This is what constitutes November
for the football teams of the cOun-
try.

So We will Beat Kansas.


20 the Editor of the MissOurian:
Well. cheer up, fellows. That de-
feat at the hands of Oklahoma was
not so bad after all, for according
TO the dope Oklahoma is one of the
best teams in the country. Besides
we are going to beat Kansas for the
dope says so and you know dope is
it out that Missouri will beat Kan
sas.
Oklahoma beat WaShburn SO to
q which makes Oklahoma SO points
better than Washburn. Kansas beat
Washburn II to 6 which makes Kan
Sas points better than Washburn.
Thirty-six minus s leaves the Soon
ers 2S points better than the Jay
hawks. Since Oklahoma is 2S points
better than Kansas and s points bet
ter than Missouri. then Missouri is
20 points better than Kansas
By this dope it is plain to be seen
that Oklahoma will beat Kansas 2S
C when they play each other, and
Missouri will beat Kansas 20 to 0 on
the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

dope is absolutely correct and my

L Short Cut Through the Orchard.


Editor the Missourian: A path
through the horticultural grounds
connecting Keyser avenue and Con-
ley has been suggested. At present
a large number of students who live
on College and keyser avenues to
get to Academic Hall must go by
way of University avenue or by Hud-
son avenue. This means a delay of
from five to ten minutes in getting
TO and from classes. When one has
q IL to o'clock class and another
al o'clock a saving of twenty min
utes would prove valuable. A path
through the horticultural grounds at
this point similar to the one opening
out on Hit street by the HOrticul-
tural Building would be of great
convenience and would necessitate
little expense while not enough
ground would be used to make any
difference.

The platinum setting, especially
for diamonds, is very much in vogue
this year. 1t is two or three times
as expensive as gold, which is per-
haps the cause of its popularity.
Sometimes in rings and lavalieres
the prongs which hold the stone are
only lined with the platinum, some
times the whole setting is of that
metal 1t enhances the whiteness of
the diamond and does not take away
from its lustre, though many think
the gold is better because of the
contrast. This fad has been pop
ular for some time with a few peo-
pie, say the jewellers. but never half

Decoration Day Memories

Decoration Day, or Memorial Day, as it is frequently called, is a
great day in the Estates" where it's annual coming is looked for and
great preparations made for a solemn and elaborate observance. All
business is suspended in many towns and sermons preached, speeches
made, graves of the old soldier dead decorated with flowers and every
the blue is lavishly poured out over the little mounds of earth. In
this way the children and young people, the rising generation, are
made to feel the great debt of gratitude that the Nation owes to the
men who died in the War of the Rebellion, and the older men and
women renew their obligations and perform those ceremonies which
mean 81 much to them, for it is all they have left that they a do to
show their undying love and appreciation of the Gays which scorched
and withered men, n s the frost withers the green he. bs of the field.
Out west, here, the day does not appeal so strongly to the people.
There is not the local tradition of death and sufferins To color the
lives of the community The younger people ae not taught to re-
we're the memory of the old soldier, Many of them have but a
bore arms during that conflict, who are now scattered over the land, a
handful of crippled, decrepit, almost useless, old men. The day is
not observed, as a rule. except in a desultory, haf-hearted way There
is rarely any assembling in the churches, to listen to sermons about the
valor and and patriotism of our heroic dead. Business goes on here
the same as ever IN Memorial Day. People are too busy to spend
any time over what does not imme 1iately concern them. The few
old soldiers among them attract but very little attention and n not
held i'll very great esteem such as surrounds the same class of men in
the eastern states. 1t is no honor here, except among a very few,
for a maj to carry a withered limb thru life, the result of his sacrifice
to the Nation in time of need.
will be a service to the memory of the dead. The days are fitting
past, and with them go the men who composed the Grand Army of
the Republic, dropping like autumn leaves. They served their
country well and truly in its time of need. Now let them pass
peacefully on their eternal rest.

Humorous Dope From Viterbo'

| would cordially advise the readers of the Voice to follow the
the story of the Camorra trial in Viterbo, Italy, as it appears from
day to day YIN the Associated Press papers--if they wish to be amused.
There is a great deal of complaint, now and then, about the way MUIR
der trials re conducted in this country. Some of them last for weeks,
and often a great deal of useless evidence is introduced. The Cam
ORA trial lis expected to last more than a yearand little of the evidence
seems to have any bearing on the subject at issue. 1t is highly
amusing, and promises to become funnier as it progresses. The
prisoners, who ar kept in a cage and guarded by half the soldiers in
Italy give a circus performance every hour. Whenever a lawyer
says anything that dispeases them they get up and howl, and the
court has to suspend business until the uprising ends. The prison.
es seem to be running the trial. Quit buying foolish magazines
and comic papers, and read the humorous dope from Viterbo-Buf-
fao Voice.
