To the Editor the MiSsourian: -
The attendants in the library seen
TO have an exaggerated idea of the
| order they must maintain. Two per.
sons cannot mOmentarily discuss a
book or some phase of their lesson
without being humiliated by having
the attendant rush over and threaten
to eject them from the library.
The real difficulty however. is that
when an attendant "calls down" two
individuals the attention of all per-
sons in that part of the room is at
tracted to it. A hum of discussion
follows as to who the unfOrtunates
are and much merriment is shown
among their acquaintances. In this
way the action of the attendant
causes much more disturbance than
the two persons who were speaking.
For this reason it is asked that
those whose duty it is to keep order
in the library use some discretion in
doing SO and not reprimand persons
until some evidence is shown that
they are really annoying some one.

LEAP YEAR PROPOSALS SLOW
Recorders Office Shows Few Mar.
riagcs Thus Far This Year.

NO, leap year is not having much
effect on marriages in Boone cOun-
ty," said A. w. Paisley, deputy re-
cOrder, this morning. Il don't think
very many of the girls in Columbia
and Boone County are seriously con-
sidering the chance they have to get
married this year. At least the mar
riage licenses issued by this Office
this year do not show it,"
Clark Robinson, recorder and Mr..
Paisley have only issued fifteen Ii
censes to marry Boone County per-
sons this leap year. The first license
was issued January 3 and the last
one up to this morning was issued
Tuesday.
One day this year looked like a
big day at the recorders office. The
marriage market was thriving. Four
licenses to wed were issued. That
was January 13. Since that time the
issuing of licenses has been slow.
Our big rush in issuing marriage
licenses is just before Christmas, usu-
ally continued Mr.. Paisley. AT
that time it seems every one wants
to get married. But its soon over
after the holidays Always at the
first OF a new year there is a slump
in the rush. This year has been no
exception to the rule, regardless of
the leap year incentive

ant.
Few will deny that excessive, or in
many cases even moderate. use of
liquor reduces the efficiency of the
human organism. Liquor is to the
sensitive parts of ones body what
sand is to the bearings of a finely
adjusted machine
Like machine, the human body is
built to do a certain amount of work.
Its efficiency is increased or de-
creased according to the care taken
in its construction. If one persist
antly throws sand in a high class ma
chine it lOOses its value: just so if

The responsibility which COlum-
bia bears in this regard is greater
than that of most cities. She has pro-
pOrtiOnally more high class machin-
cry. The University brings to Co.
lumbia a large number of such hu-
man machines in the making. ma
chimes sent here for expert adjust
ment. If she does not do this work
as it should be done these high-class-
to-be machines will not be sent to

Columbia cannot afford to poorly
adjust them. TO throw sand in their
bearings. Her responsibility in the
eyes of the state is too great.

FIGHTING THE PLAGUE.

The Great White Plague is NJ
against the real thing. 1t is backed
up in cOrnc! and is breathing hard
In vain do its seconds, the Grim
Spectre and the Death Roll, put wet
towels about its head and seek to
get it back into the ring. 1t cannot
escape the Knockout punch.
tuberculosis has long held the
mortality championship. The White
Plague has worn the black belt. and
it has earned it regularly. One
seventh of all deaths that come to
persons between the ages of IS and
As years are the direct result of tu-
berculosis. 1t is indeed a plague.
Bat the championship days of the
Plague are over. The National So
ciety for the Prevention and Cure of
Tuberculosis, the Red Cross, and
state and local societies without num-
ber, are allied in a fight to the fin
ish with the Plague. Hospitals for
the victims of consumption have been
established in hundreds of cities
Literature on hygienic living has
been scattered broadcast. In the
schools, in the churches, through the
newspapers. the fight is being car
ried on. 1t will be happy day

The day is not far off 1t will be a

For some time now Uncle Sam ha
been struggling with the problem
of how to keep the young men on The
farm and by teaching scientific farm
ing he is beginning to solve it; but
another question of equal importance
is put forward by the twentieth cen.

Wer III It's short course in home
economics for young women, given
this year for the first time. Courses
in home economics are offered in
many institutions and they are grad
| uaily being given more prominent
place, but the appeal of the Missouri
course is particularly strong because
it is directly to the home builder.
The experiment was suggested, ac-
cording to Dean F. b. Mumford of
the College of Agriculture, under
whose direction it is given, by the
success of the short course for men.
designed especially for the farmer.
which has been very largely attend
ed. Many men who came to attend
the course brought their wives with
them but there was no instruction
open TO the women which was of she
cine value. SO it occurred to Dean
Mumford that possibly there were
other women, unable to take a regu-
lar university course or not desiring
it, who would still be glad to take
advantage of some special instruction
along lines in which they were most
interested.
Ii has long been the cry of the man
who Sees only the hole, never the
doughnut. that higher education un-
fits woman for the home. Surely to !
him this must be long step in the !
right direction, for the aim of the |
course is to make for greater effi-
cheney in handling everyday affairs
Of the home, creating larger opportu-
mites, and opening up more avenues
for making life attractive there. En-
stence on farm need no longer be
shut in but as full of possibilities
rs any other for both the man and
he woman.
As ii is given now, the short course
or women extends over eight weeks
md for the present all emphasis is
placed on the prOctical side If it
proves successful. courses in are lit ,

Sewing. Garment cutting and max
ing from patterns which have been
drafted and fitted. This course aims
to make it possible for the student
to plan her own underwear and SIM
pie dresses, then draft a pattern for
or adjust a ready-made pattern, cut,

work is given to enable the student
TO finish neatly the garments made,
and TO keep all clothes in repair. The
comparative costs of different grades
OF material and methods of making
are considered.
Laundry Work. The application of
science to practical laundrying such
as may he worked out by the study
OF blueing. starches and soaps. with
the effect of each upon the different

diseases are transmissible, the pre-
vention of further contagion will be
considered, isolation of patient, dis
infection of anything removed from
the room, and care of the room af-
ter recovery of the patient. Special
attention will be given to care of the
patient during certain common di-
Seases, as tuberculosis. typhoid and
pneumonia, in which the nursing is
such an important factor.
