.MiSSOuri'S Venice.

Editor the Missourian:-Rai water
in Columbia, after the custom of waite
everywhere, seeks the lowest level.
That is why it runs down the sidewalks
and stands in pools where the walks
sag. In many places the lawns are
tcrraced, and the walks are lower than
the parkings. The water from those
lawns cannot run intosthe street, but
collects on the walks.
The walk along the south side of
Turner avenue is a notable example.
The street slopes westward and is in
most places higher than the walk
That sidewalk drains not only the en-
tire street but more than half the
block. Where the water would natu-
rally seek the gutter, it is prevented
by the parking.
Columbia has IA good system of
paved streets and concrete walks, but
there is hardly a crossing where the
walks extend across the parkings, to
the curb.
Dry feet are a luxury which cannot
be enjoyed on rainy days unless some
one devises a system of Venetian gon-
dolaS. B.

Against Departmental Insignia.

Editor the Missourian: An idea
that is beginning to occupy the atten-
ton of the student body is that OF
adopting some article such as a hat,
cane or badge as the insignia OF each
department. If such a plan We're car
ried out it would be decidedly detri
mental to the spirit of the stuent body
in that it would tend to create dissen-
sion among the various departments.
In past year that spirit of ill-feeling
among the departments was apparent,
but last year new spirit came TO the
front and the student body was welded
together in harmony. Why should
we as students of this great University
do anything to hinder the growth of
this new sturdy spirit that has come
among us? c.

naturally forms itself as l write. l do
not outline the story before l begin,
nor limit the story in space. That
would make it unnatural. 1t would
spoil the spontaneous effect.
The suggestions for my stories
usually come from some situation l
have seen, or from some character |
have become acquainted with. Some
come from my own experiences. In
writing a story an author uncon-
sciously uses all three of these sources.
At the time he does not necessarily
recognize his own experiences, and
there are many characteristics OF his
own and his acquaintances which he
does not recognize. But after he has
finished the story and studies it over
he will recognize them.
In writing articles l do not make
an outline either as many authors do.
read over and study the notes l have
made in research work on the articles
and the most important points natu-
rally arrange themselves in my mind
| have tried to outline articles. but
without success. have also tried to
rearrange articles according to a diff
ferent scheme after I have written
them. but always l have come back
to the order in which | first wrote
them.
DO l ever force myself to write?
Yes, | do. But the work is much
harder and slower then. All authors
ought to be able to work more or less
according to the mood. This is espec-
ically true in fiction writing
Usually l do my writing in the
morning. | find that l can do the best
work then. In the afternoons | usually
go out somewhere. In the evenings
dare not write because | would get
too overwrought to sleep.

so beautiful and because the life IS
not so strenuous as in Chicago"

BUSINESS GOVERNMENT.

American governments are conSpic-
uOus for their lack of business princi-
pies. Local governments especially
are based on petty politics, popularity,
red tape and good faith Officials are
not to be blamed for the defects They
must conduct governments under the
rules laid down by obsolete constitu-
tions and misdirected statutes
The system is at fault. Lack of local
civil service and responsibility are to
blame for the laXity with which pub
lie funds are handled.
Only recently have American cities
begun bookkeeping, says the Saturday
Evening Post. Cleveland is III years
old and until this year a general and
detailed balance sheet of that citys
business had never been issued. Ger
tainly reports were made, but they
were meaningless and did not admit
Ineligible comparisons
Very little sympathy would be ex-
pressed for the bankrupt man who fail
ed to keep books, even though his bus
mess involved only a few hundred dol

BEAUTIFYING THE COUNTY FARM

The churches OF Columbia are to set
aside day ~ unite in an effort to
beaGtify the County Farm. And this
is movement in which all who can
should take part 1t will mean only
a day to the individual, while it will
mean a lasting Improvement for the
farm. And the day will not be without
fun, for it will be not unlike a pleas
ure trip.
The farm building is a good one,
but it looks bare and lonesome on the
prairie. A reasonable number OF men
can plant enough trees and shrubs in
a day to remedy this. Whatever is
planted will be we'll cared for by the
inmates of the institution, and in a few
years the farm will become a place
of unusual beauty.
Columbians should turn out and help
make the home of Boone County's un-
fortunate more pleasant place in
which to live.

Why Is Il Shirt Tail Parade!

Editor the Missourian:
Along South Ninth street and Broad
way where the largest crowds were,
many expressions of disgust and disap-
proval were heard when the shirt
tail parade was being given ocele
brate the Tigers victory over Ames.
The older people uttered such eX-
pressions as silly" fools" L don't
think that's any fun" and numerous
others.
Now. just why is a shirt-tail parade?
What is it in a victory that makes Il
young fellow want TO turn himself in
side out and go chasing up the street
yelling like a street fakir?
Why should he wear a night shirt,
nightie, pajamas, sleeping garment or
just plain shirt, in preference to any
other article of apparel? Perhaps to
lend variety, as the boys Saturday
night wore pajamas of silk, cotton,
percale. gingham, dimity, cheesecloth
and on up to meSSaline. One young
fellow outdid his brothers by wearing
kimono, beautiful creation of hell
otrope. magenta, emerald and lavender
chiffon.
No doubt many of the older people
would have liked to know just why
is a night shirt parade" There is no
real why. merely effect and no cause
It shows enthusiasm, loyalty and jubi-
lance. and is a means of giving vent

ATALK WITH MRS. WARREN
Magazine Contributor, now in Columbia,
Says That Deep Sympathy Is First
Essential to Success in Writing.

Deep sympathy is a necessary quail
ity in all writers. 1t is especially
needed by story writer's but is needed
by others as we'll, says Mrs. Maud
Radford Warren, author OF The Main
Road" and regular contributor to Har-
per's Magazine and the Saturday Eve
ming Post, who is now visiting in Co.
lumbia Most writer's who fail today
do so, believe, because they lack
sympathy.
An author needs to have a vivid i'm
agination. He. or she, must be able
to experience the feelings of others in a
situation: in fact, to live imaginatively
the lives of others. III writing about
a character an author must feel the
sensations person would have in the
situations in which that character is
placed To do this one must have an
actual sympathy for humanity. One
must be interested in people and ap-
preciate their points OF view

OCIETYs IN HONOLULU seems
to be an eYery-other-week matter.
If there are a number of enter
tainments one week, the follow
ing week is pretty sure ito be one of
rest The society folk motor to their
,out-of-town homes and remain in semi
seclusion. In almost every other so
ciety center in the United States
folks are kept so busy every season
prior to Lent that the world seems G
whiri from morning tin night s.
The tropical climate of Honolulu
may be too suggestive Of rest to per
NIT such gay life or, perhaps the so
ciety women are too much interested
in philanthropic work to devote every
day. to social functions. $50,
Another phase OF Honolulu life
which makes entertaining easier Is
the lack of formality that reigns al
the majority of the functions. with
few exceptions the people move II
sets and there is a spirit of congenias
ity that is noticeable to everyone. In
many instances the society. folk have
known each other since childhood and
have watched the growth of the home

IN the other set, that OF the Army

members of this set have their minds

just the same and now it seems as

|ALCATRAz ISLAND MAY
Be LANDING STATION
Commissioners Caminetti Is
Said to Favor Change
From Angel Island

Whether the immigrat ton station is
to be moved from Angel island to AL
atraz may depend upon the recon-
mendation of Commissioner General of
immigration A. Caminetti who, after
IAN inspection of the government prop
critics in the vicinity of San Francisco,
is now on his way to Washington.
1t is said that Commissioner Can't
netti is strongly in favor of making the
change.
Caminetti's bureau is a part and the
war department, governing Afcatraz,
and congress would have to pass upon
the question before the transfer is
finally made.
1t is contended that Angel island is
too far from the city, and as San Fran
cisco will be one of the great gate
ways of immigration into the United
States following the opening of the
canal, Alcatraz island would be easier
of access for the authorities in taking
care of the increased number of immi
grants.
The proposed change, if made. would
necessitate the government finding a
new home for the military prison on
Alcatraz. In the event the immigration
headquarters are transferred to Alca-
traz, Angel island would continue as
the quarantine station upon larger
scale made necessary by the increase
of patients due to more ships entering
the harbor after the canal is in use.
