Typhoid Vaccination,

Editor the Missourian:- Many Uni

take the typhoid fever vaccination
which is being given to applicants at
Parker Memorial Hospital. More are
being inoculated on each day set
aside for this work
a student who wishes TO be vacci-
mated is charged only 80 cents-just
enough to cover the cost of the vac
cine. This is cheap insurance against
a dreaded disease. The students are
fortunate in getting immunity at SO
low a cost. Five dollars or more is
the charge in most places.
1t has been proved that the vaccine
is a good preventive. All who intend
to be vaccinated should do so now
while the University offers the chance
at the low price. S.

Editor the NHssourian:-Say, why
can't the Missourian help the girls out
in their curbed enthusiasm? The men
seem TO think that because they don't

without the aid of the men, that they
have no enthusiasm. The fact of the
matter is that they have as much as
the men. Girls can make plenty of
noise, but it is the wrong kind. You
don't want any mouse squealing at
mass meetings. Now, think if for the
Kansas mass meeting the girls would
provide themselves with any sort OF
noise making instrument TO use in

States act in the Mexican situation
with disregard to other nations.
Time was when the right of might
governed a nations actions. None
dared object. That right was neither
just nor civil Civilization will not
tolerate such fragrant injustices today.
Even now, after President Wilson'S
prolonged restraint. certain foreign
newspapers are accusing the United
States of having designs upon Mexican
territory. What would have been the
opinion of the world if We had acted
hastily?
While the Monroe Doctrine makes
US the custodian of liberty and peace
in the western hemisphere it does not
make all our actions just Injustice
dealt Mexico at our hands would be
as great as that of any European na-
ton.

have outgrown the medieval disregard
of others. The United States is not
seeking an excuse for intervention.

4 SERVANT OF HIS RACE.

an education but only a head and a

ton in this statement not only names
his problem but Identifies himself with
those who prefer to be servants OF
men.
In his school at Tuskegee, Ala, Mr.
Washington is endeavoring TO serve
his race by educating them TO be SO
useful that they will be indispensable
to the white race He encounters
many difficulties in teaching the black
man, but he is succeeding in produc-
ing young negroes who are trained in
mind and body to be useful industri-
ally.
Such training aids greatly in solv-
ing the negro problem. And. come to
think of it, it wouldn't hurt if some
OF the students of the large universi-
ties should be taught that an educa-
ton means only "A head and heart
TO serve"

pebbles or sphagnum moss in pots are
safe precaution. When drainage is
poor the leaves turn yellow. Never let
the growing plants become pot-bound
but keep them moving from pot to pot
until they reach the 10 or 12-inch size
where they are to bloom.
Chrysanthemum soil should be a
rich, sandy loan with a little leaf
mold. The use of fertilizers to enrich
such soil will produce rank foliage
growth at the expense of the blossoms.
The plants are bothered by only two
pests of importance-aphides and mil
dews. Kerosene emulsion is the safest,
easiest and most effective spray for
aphides and sulphur sifted over the
plants will discourage mildews. blight
and rusts.
When large, giant blossoms are de-
sired, allow one straight stalk to grow
and permit its terminal bud to develop
by pinching off the lateral shoots.
When the buds form the plants should
be changed to lower temperature of
about 40 degrees.
When bushy, spreading plants are
desired, pinch off the terminal bud and
side shoots will be thrown off at the
nodes. When these are or 4 inches
long pinch off their tops and continue
this up until about the Fourth of July,
then let them grow. The bush form
is the most satisfactory way to grow
all ponpon chrysanthemums.
For the herbaceous border trans
planting is the simplest way to pro-
cure the plants, though they may be
started from cuttings as above describ-
ed. Remove the young plants to the
border or bed as soon as the ground
is warm in the spring, water them
carefully and when the hard freezes
cause blooming to cease, cut off the
tops and cover the plants with a light
mulch of straw or leaves. r. G. T.

The Cost OF Living.

Editor the MissOurian: The cost of
living in the region about Kansas City
has increased 80 per cent in the last
ten years, according to George A.
Thayer OF the Department of Labor,
who has been conducting an investi-
CATION of labor conditions. In that
same time he has found an increase of
only 20 per cent in the wages of skilled
wOrkmen and scarcely any increase
for common laborers.
He places the reason for the increas-
ed cost of living within the schools.
He says that the system of education
has raised the standard of living of the
families of the working men, through
the children, while wages have not
come up in the same degree. Pianos
are a necessity in many homes now
where they were a luxury.
Economists agree that in any change
of prices, the price of goods moves
more rapidly than wages. Hence the
workingman loses when prices 90 up
and gains when prices go down. But
the workingman controls his own
standard of living
The object of our system of educa-
tion has to raise the standard of living
of the poor, ignorant classes. This
investigation shows that the desired
results are being accomplished. These

MODERN WOMEN. ANCIENT MAN.

This is a progressive age. Science,
invention, civilization and thought are
more widely spread than ever before.
Yet in the face of all this enlighten-
ment man continues in the primeval
conception of woman. He wags his
head and talks wisely of the place
of woman" He will harangue for
hours on the progress of the times and
kick like a mule if woman presumes
to enter what he considers his sacred
precincts.
Back in the dark ages woman might
have needed mans protection. Chiv-
airy is beautiful thing, but the idea
OF "woman's place" is not born OF
chiyalry. Besides the modern woman
has sufficiently demonstrated her abil-
ity to take care of herself.
Woman has bettered conditions
wherever she has entered. She is the
moral superior, and the intellectual
equal, of man. In fact She has proven
a worthy competitor of man in every
thing except brute force. She is grad
ually invading the traditional domain
of man, and he has not awakened to
her ability.
Mans attitude toward the modern
woman belongs with the denial of the
right of inquiry and the suppression
OF knowledge. But the you-stay-at-
home dearie- Twill call -when-I-want-
you attitude cannot endure.
No one would think of adopting ante
diluTian customs for his daily life.
then why the primitive conception of
the twentieth century woman? Under
the same law, one God and a common
purpose, "woman's place" resolves it
self into an imaginary nothingness, as
lame excuse for denying that which
should rightfully obtain.

President Wilson's Mexican policy

HELPING THE FOOTBALL TEAM.

Dean W. W. Charters, in talking to a
group of teachers in St. Louis recently,
told how one of NJ. Us. football stars
once fiunked in a course, although one
of his fraternity brothers had been
sent into the class to funk and bring
the average down so the football man
would pass. That's one way of trying
to keep our football men elegibIe for
the game. But there is another
These men are our heroes at this
season OF the year. We like to hear
them talk, associate with them, and
then 20 away and tell how we heard
so and so of the team say such and
such a thing. This kind OF a spirit is
all right, as long as it is not too selfish.
1t lets the players know how we feel
about them and what support they
can expect But We must remember
not to take too much of their time
when they had better be studying.
Maybe our influence would lead them
to spend their time on lessons; or
perhaps a few suggestions from US
would help them through the school
work they have been delayed in get
ting up.

A CHANGE IN A SUFFRAGETTR.

Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, in speak
ing to the members of the Political
Equality League in Chicago, admon-
ished them against militancy. Two
weeks before no one would have ac-
cused her of making such a speech.
Her reputation was born with the
publicity of her militant campaigns
she has been the leader of the militant
English suffragettes for years. Sc
definitely had her name become con-
nected with the destruction of prop
erty and other offenses that she was
almost barred from entering the Uni
ted States.
The American way OF looking at the
equal suffrage problem must have
changed Mrs. Pankhurst. She has
probably found by this time that more
has been accomplished in America
without any militancy than her band
of militant suffragettes has been able
to do in England.
Indeed, her visit to Chicago marked
her first stay on equal suffrage soil.
The thing to which she has been de-
voting her life has been realized in
Chicago without any militant move
ments.

children will never go back to the old,
dirty, unhealthy ways of living. They
will be capable of earning more and
thus living up to the standard that the
schools have taught them.
Whether they will be able to get
higher wages depends on what the
government does toward regulating
the number of incoming immigrants
who, with their low standards of liv-
ing. can afford to work for lower
wages and thus force the wages of
the American workman down. C.E.
