Marking Liberty Books.

Editor the MissOurian: Many stu
dents and | suspect some OF the lay
ultv members too. have a habit ol
marking passages in liberty BOOKS
One rarely picks up a liberty pooh
that has not UNDERSIGNED lines. mar
kings by pen or pencil in it.
The other day | found one book OF
1SS pages in which 90 pages mac
been literally marked up. l do MOI
believe this is any worse than the
average. One chapter of eight pages
was unmarked except for the shot
gun verdict at the beginning; EV-
cry word of this chapter is o. X.
1t should not be necessary to sa!
that this practice is unfair to the
readers who are to follow. One likes
to formulate his own verdicts. with
out having such marginal notes as:
only partially true "ls this
case of sorehead?" 20. X" "Per-
hapS true twenty years ago Out ho'
true now" and others of similar ma
ture that have seen in liberty
books.
If the critics must be heard, why
not paste a few blank leaves in the
back of each book for them to dis
play their views? ..

Repeated rumOrs that Japan has
been attempting to procure ground
for cOaling station in Lower Cali
fOrnia on Magdalena Bay led Sena-

asking the President 'if not incOm-

the subject. The resolution was
unanimously adopted. AS a result
an investigation followed; it was

million dollars. the navy 251 million
and the agricultural department 16
million. There are 2 million miles
of road in the United States and of
this number only 10000 miles have
been constructed and are in shape
in which roads should be. On the
other hand. almost 10 million dollars
have been spent by this country for
roads in our foreign possessions.
There is yearly loss of 25O million
dollars to this country because it
costs us twenty-three cents a mile
to haul produce over our roads while
Germany because of her superior
roads can do the same amount of
hauling for less than nine cents a
mile.

soap. That is 20S million hours, or 20 mil
lion working days of hours each everyyear.
Isn't that record for s-Naptha to

health, in the wear of clothes, and in lots
of other ways as we'll. More than mil
lion women are using Fels-Naptha every

lukewarm water about half the time it
would take by tie old-fashioned hot-water

your white clothes with Fels-Naptha, roll
them and let them soak for 80 minutes.
Then give light rub, rinse thoroughly,
and hang on the line
No hot fire to blister your face, no
steaming suds to scald your hands, no nau-
