The Burlington railway will place a
dining car in this department and will
operate It through the fair in order to
display the methods Of handling foods on
railway trains. All the latest labor saw

The club women Of Nebraska have taken

A landscape artist has been engaged to
show model groups of shrubbery for city

FASHIONS MAKE WOMEN SLOUGH
Dances Not TO Blame for Shuttle Walk.
Says Miss Edith Caverly,

Just what effect have the modern
dances on the walk and carriage of
the University women? Or, better, has
1t any effect at all. Isn't it, rather,
the fashions that are responsible for
the shuffling maid of slim and 1.-THE
build who seems to bob up and down
with twisting shoulders as she wrig-
giles her way to class?
Is it the fault of the modern dance
that the present coed stands with
dropping shoulders and sagging knees? :?
Is it the result of the dancing that
makes her swing from side to side as
she shuffles along? Are the sunken
chests and the weakened backbones
caused by the One Step, the Tango
or the Hesitation Waltz?
Miss Edith Caverly, assistant gym
nasium teacher of the University, be-
lieves it is not the modern dancing

A FACULTY NOT AFRAID.

There is one little idea which more
than anything else probably is respon-
sible for the acts of hazing, rowdyism
with which a certain class of students
make trouble in all universities and
colleges. 1t is the idea of strength
in numbers.
Come on! The faculty won't dare
kick us all out, and if it expels one it
will have to expel the whole crowd"
And with this counsel. the leaders in
spire the crowd to act. The result is
that some individual is more or less
mistreated. or property is damaged.
In an Eastern college where hazing
was becoming a wholesale practice,
the faculty suddenly expelled fifty
four students. The hazing has stopped.
A few more actions like this in
schools over the country would be
more effective than anything else in
ending these evils. A student will be
pretty slow to act if he thinks the
probable outcome of his act would
be expulsion.

PRAY FOR PEACE!

After 1000 Yale students had march
ed through the streets singing patriot
ic airs and visiting the homes of dis
tinguished men in the community,
former President Taft feelingly urged
that the New Haven men, instead of
-monstrating with gunshots and
bugle calls, pray for peace with Mex
leo.
a wave of misguided public senti-
ment, termed patriotism. now might
drive the United States into the re-
volving wheels of war and calamity
and useless sacrifice of life. Patriot
ism in the United States is ever highly
combustible. so President Wilson and
far-sighted statesmen are keeping the
country's mo, ements as cool as possi-
BILE.
Thinking men and women, too, will
pray for peace.

SURPRISING SPRING POETRY.

1t is to be doubted very much wheth-
er any young man is sane if he does
not aspire to write poetry these en-
chanting spring days. Of course if
he locks himself up in a room and
studies instead of going out for a
constitutional every now and then,
this transcendental aspiration does not
inhabit his bosom. But, no sane man
studies nor sticks long to his work at
this time of year.
However, be it understood we do
not mean to encourage any young man
to express the rawlings of his spring
inspired soul in poetry nor to attempt
to compose a silly little ditty called
Love" and dedicated to one of the
University goods. We only mean to say
that if a young man does not feel
these tendencies it is to be seriously
doubted whether or not he is sane
And, being sane, he should have
enough will-power to restrain him
self. That young man feels like a
poet is not sufficient reason for max
ing himself nuisance.
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1914-04-22

that causes these deformities, but the
passing fashions.
The tight skirt which binds the an
kles make il impossible for the wearer
to take sure STEP 1t is like having
her ankles tied together. She has to
shuttle along. The tight skirt not
only impedes walking, it makes it i'm
possible to dance the modern dance
properly. These dances are made up
of ordinary walking steps, glides and
dips. A tight skirt holds the ankles
making it impossible for the dancer
to have any freedom of her feet. The
result is dance with the shoulders
which move in time to the music.
Il believe that the tight skirt and
the debutante slouch. which by the
way is quite out of vogue, is respon-
sible for the unusual gaits and carri-
age of the girls here" said Miss Cav
erly. The modern dances rightly
danced improve the carriage and phys
ical development of the body. They
are good exercise. They bring into
motion, muscles which ordinarily
would be unused. They aid in grace
full and smooth walk.
The present changes in the fash
ions are a direct result of modern
dancing. Because modern dancing de-
mands perfect ease and freedom of the
body, the dancing frock must be full
and loose.
THE modern dances are not hard
to learn. The reason they have been
so abused in certain places is because
the dancers did not know how they
were danced. Properly executed, they
are wonderful for exercise of the most
beneficial kind

counterpart of the customers hair
The conversation turns to the charac-
ter Of the work being done. Here is
the opportunity to introduce the new
toilet preparation or some article for
sale.
Like the milliner, whose success de-
pends on her keeping up with the
styles, the maker of beauty must make
frequent trips to a training school,
where the new modes in hair dressing
are shown. The hair dressers in Co.
lumbia go to st. Louis about every
three months. They become acquainted
also with the new toilet articles anc
the latest mechanical appliances.
If the proprietor who has no help
goes without her lunch, she can easily
manage ten customers in a day by be-
ginning at s o'clock and working until
6 without stop. During these ten hours
she will do manicuring, shampooing,
massaging and hair-dressing. Mani
curing is the least lucrative service
sold. Besides the nervousness that
comes from working with sensitive
hands, the manicurist receives Is
cents less for her hours work than for
any other treatment.
In Columbia the girls from Christ
ian College and from Stephens Col
lege are the main patrons of the beau
ty parlors. The University women,
however, are close second. The
frequently have work
done. The patronage during the sum-
mer months is almost as great as dur
ing the winter season.
The kind of work demanded of the
artist in beauty-catering is an accu-
rate barometer of society. If college
girl in rush calls up the beauty
parlor and wants her hair shampooed
and curled, the chances are there is a
