FULLEST LIFE

Perhaps the fullest lives are those
spent in country communities, where
the demands upon ones time are
those of neighborliness, where the
old ladies are called upon in days
OF sickness and sorrow to bring the
consolation of their broad sympa-
thies, the old men are sought for adj
vice and counsel, the boys and girls
have time to think the long, long

FAIRY PALACES

Do you know what fairy palaces
YOU may build of beautiful thoughts,

houses of precious and restful

nor pain make gloomy; houses built
without hands for our souls to live in.

A PENITENTIARY IN THE OPEN.

The State Highway Commission is
planning to put 600 convicts at work
on the county seat highway between
Columbia and Jefferson City. What
could be better for the convicts than
to get out of the confines of the peni-
tentiary and work in the open? Away
from the monotony of prison routine
any prisoner should take a new hold
on life.
The convict's sentence is reduced
by such work, that is, time served
on the roads will decrease his term.
A vote of the convicts probably
would be unanimous for road work in
preference to work in the penitentiary
Perhaps no happier gang of men
could be found than twenty-nine coun-
ty prisoners in Jackson county who
were taken from the Jail and put to
work on the roads last summer They
were not bound with chains, but only
one prisoner escaped during the sum-
mer
In Boone county, as in Jackson
county, not only would the prisoners
be benefited. but the county would
have twenty miles of roads improved
at a small cost-that of supplying
meals to the prisoners.

self. Perhaps in your immediate vicin-
ity is a family which cannot send its
children to school because they have
not sufficient clothing or shoes to get
out in the cold Or perhaps the boy
who delivers groceries to your door
needs a pair of warm gloves.
With little deprivation to yourself
you could supply many of these wants.
Or if able to carry on this work on
larger scale a little investigation
would find for you enough misery to
make hole in most any ones pocket
book. The charity society cannot find
all of these cases.
And a sense of having done duty
well in allie iating some unfortunate's
suffering will certainly make you feel
just little better toward yourself
than if you had coldly sent check
to the charity society and let some
one else hunt out the suffering

A SAFE AND SANE HALLOWEEN.

A few years ago there was started
a movement to make the celebration
of Independence Day little less like
the battle of Bunker Hill. Public SEN
timent was created and there have
been fewer casualties each year re-
sulting from the observance of the
Fourth of July. Real patriotism has
increased, too, because of the sort of
celebrations and pageants that have
taken the place of the cannon cracker.
Halloween has become in some places
to mean a time when any sort of mean
ness may be done under the guise of a
playful prank The day originally had
something to do with saints, but the
devil must have wrested it away from
them and made it his own holiday.
There are many ways of celebrating
Halloween and having a good time
without destroying property or behav-
ing disgracefully.
Why not a safe and sane Halloween

WHY FEAR MRS. PANKHURST!

Again the United States has vindi-
Gated itself as a country of free speech.
Mrs. Pankhurst has been admitted to
the country.
We have no special reason to fear
Mrs. Pankhurst in this country. Here
she has no particular reason to resort
to tactics that are being used in Eng
land in the name of suffrage She has
plenty of opportunity to get public
and official hearing by peaceable
means. Moreover it would be an easy
matter to arrest her and send her out
of the country if she caused disorder
So let's give Mrs Pankhurst a good
opportunity to make her plea in this
country Let's be tolerant even though
We may be a little prejudiced on ac-
count of her reputation.
Once the policy of stopping speak
ers was started, it would be only a
short and easy stop to the limitations
that have proved the hinderance OF
social progress in other nations. Lin
tied speech is limited progress.

ENGINEERING IN EARLY DAYS
First Use of Profession Was for Mill
tary Purposes.

tary purposes
The recent bulletin issued by the
School of Engineering of the Univer
sity contains some interesting data
pertaining to the evolution of engi-
neering as a science The future pos
sibilities of the engineering student
as well as the present requirements
for admission are discussed.
Engineering previous to the middle
0f the eighteenth century was applied
almost exclusively to military purpos
es. The work was done by soldiers
and directed by the officers who were
usually the engineers. About this
time the demand was felt for public
buildings which in turn brought about
that kind of work These men were
called civil engineers" to distinguish
them from the military engineers"
During this early period there was
10 division of the field of engineering
into specialties, civil engineering COW
cred the whole field. About the middle
of the nineteenth century the indus
trial development which followed the
invention of the steam engine had so
widened the scope of engineering that
men began to specialize in a particu-
lar field Today there are four dis
tinct branches of engineering: civil,
electrical mechanical and chemical
The employment bureau maintained
by the School of Engineering has eX-
perienced no difficulty in the past in
| finding work for its graduates. Cen
orally most of the senior class is en-
gagged before commencement day. This
year the demand for Missouri engi-
neers is greater than the supply.
This spring blanks were sent to all
graduates whose addresses were
known asking them to state in reply in
what line of work they were then en-
gagged. Of the 2O9 men that answered
| it was found that only seventeen had
forsaken the profession. If those fig
ures can be taken as a general aver
age of what the others are doing, it
seems that the ratio of engineering
graduates to engineering work is
| thirteen to one.

ON MISSOURI-ILLINOIS GAME
One Sarcastic Supporter Set Bad
Standards for Others, Says Illini.

One smartly dressed youth with an
officious mein, who sat near the Mis-
souri, rooters' section at yesterdays
football game, indulged his childish
notions of Illinois loyalty by taunt-
ing the small band of Tiger rooters.
The youths one claim to recognition
as an Illinois man, was evidenced by
an ~ button which disgraced the
lapel of his coat
His wit was really brilliant for a
child of his years. His sarcasm, at
least that part of his so-called sar-
casm which was not actual insult,
soon made him the central figure
among a small band of foolish CO.
horts who laughed at his uncalled for
remarks. The attention of the Mis-
souri, rooters was soon attracted to
him. Their opinions of Illinois
craftsmanship forthwith speedily
dropped to point way below
zero. One of the Missouri men was
heard to remark, so that is what
Illinois boasts as loyalty, is it? Well,
put me among the roughnecks."
The Missouri mans opinion, of
course, was hasty, unjust to the
thousands of others whose loyalty is
not of this sort. The opinion which
the Missouri man retained, however,
was a general one and affected all
Illini. Real sportmanship admits of
no exceptions. One unworthy man
may set the standard for hundreds of
Others. Yet, what can be done?-

IVY MEMORIES
with due apology to
S. o. Craig's "Ivy Ode."O
JULIA STORM

How the Ivy climbing, creeping
Up toward the azure sky,
Lends a vigor to our pulses,
Raises mind and spirit high!
Proud We are of Alma Mater,
Tender thoughts within us rise,
Every wall that's Uncovered
Speaks of many kindred ties.
Not a tendril on the columns,
Not a wreath on any walls,
But some tender thought or fancy
In our memory recalls;
Or, perhaps a VOW at parting
Broken, broken long ago!
Still, a something seems to promise
True, strong hearts we still may
know.
How the rustic of the leaflets
Turned by Autumn's sun to flames
In their whisper seem to mingle
Many dear, remembered names!
May each Ivy crowned column,
May each Uncovered wall
Bring this pledge in days remaining,
Bright achievements, hope to all.
