1 DEGREE TOO COLD; STOP WORK
Temperature Stood Below 2S So Men
Couldn't Mix Concrete.

The difference of one degree in tenn
perature kept the working force on
the new Biology Building idle yes
terday. To lay brick and to pour con-
crete for the floors the temperature
must be 2S degrees and rising. All
day long yesterday the thermometer
registered close 10 the p degree mark,
a few times dropping to "a or % de-
grees, but not once did it reach the
2S-degree mark.
All that remains of the inside ma
sOnry work is the pouring of the third
floor and few partitions. The wealth
er has been too cold of late for the
force laying the outside walls, but
warm enough for finishing the floors
and inside carpenter and plumbing
work.
With nearly all of the excavation
work on the new library site COM
pleted, the contractors are only wait
ing for the coming of milder weather
to begin laying the foundations of the
new building.

NOT NEW. AFTER ALL.

A dispatch from London announces
that a Mr. Burrows has, for the first
time in the Western World. revealed
the actual scientific method by which
a man can find out whether he ever
had a life previous to the present
one The process is that OF training
the memory and thinking backward.
After a time one will be able to re-
call his present life as coherent
whole. Then by the further devel-
opment." the article reads. "Of the
faculties. vague glimpses will be
caught of previous lives, till at last
those lives become as actual. real and
coherent as the events of yesterday"
1t seems like bad practice to crit
icise scientist upon the first an
nouncement of his ideas. But one
error is so apparent in this announce
ment that criticism must be made.
This scientific method of recalling the
past has been used before, notably by
Baron Nunchausen.

MAGAZINE FOR JUNIOR COLLEGES
Publication Probably Will BE in Charge
OF University MiSsOurian.

Al a meeting of the presidents of
the junior colleges of the state. held
last Monday at Centralia. proposition
for the publishing of an inter-junior
college quarterly magazine was con-
sidered. The object of the proposed
magazine is to further the interests of
the Junior College Union which con-
sists OF Hardin. Howard-Payne. Cottey,
William Woods. Christian and Steph-
ems Colleges.
The representatives, present at the
meeting decided to place the publica-
ton of the magazine in the hands of
the University Missourian. if the
board of that paper would undertake
il. BY placing the publication in the
hands of a disinterested staff they
believe that any rivalry between the
institutions may be eliminated and at
the same time that the high type of
journalism used by the University
MisOurian. together with the fact
that it is connected with large uni
versity. will give prestige to their mag
aZine
The plans for the proposed quarter
ly will be perfected at the next meet
ing of the Junior College Union to be
held at Nevada, March 3.

4 NEW IDEA IN DIPLOMACY.

President Wilson, in recommending
the repeal OF the law eXemptins Amer
lean cOast-wise ships from tolls in the
Panama Canal, said that as there was
doubt whether We had a moral right
under the Hay-PauncefOte treaty TO
exempt our ships from tolls. he favor
ed that we should not do so.
Here is surely something new under
the sun. 1t is what many are tempted
to call leaning over backward in up
rightness. But such a spirit is most
encouraging to the advocates of in
ternational peace. Such an attitude
on the part of all nations would GER
rainly Danish war.
The evident desire of our Chief EX-
rcutive TO do the right thing should
put the nations of Europe in hospita-
bic mood to welcome Secretary Bryan
when he makes his trip next summer
in the interest of peace.

Save Your Wood Ashes.

Most of the potash that we use in this
country is imported from Germany.
and, now that the war is causing our
imports to dwindle and forcing the
prices up, it is the part of prudence to
treasure our wood ashes.
Ordinary wood ashes taken from the
fireplaces contain about per cent of
potash and 2 per cent of phosphoric
acid. The wood ashes may be mixed
usual amount of potash, or the ashes
alone may be applied as top dressing
to grass and to pastures. where they
will encourage the growth of clover
and better kinds of grasses. They are
also used as a dressing for corn and
for roots.
The ashes should be very carefully
stored and should not be permitted to
leach. The younger and smaller the
wood burned the better the ashes.
Oak. elm. maple and hickory all have
a good percentage of potash.
Besides the potash and phosphoric
acid, wood ashes contain great deal
of lime and little magnesia. which
are both of value to plants. Ashes are
nitrogen of the organic matter in the
soil.
The ashes of coal contain some pot
ash. but not enough to make them val
liable. The furnace ashes. however,
should not be wasted, for there are
many ways of using them in a garden
and on a farm.
Carefully sifted coal ashes are very
useful for tightening tough soil and

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

So nicely do lines of coats and skirts
coincide that street suits closely re-

pleasing one. Long coats follow the
lines of the long tunic beneath, and,
as uniformity of line stands for the
best in tailoring, particular folk could
hardly ask for more than the season
offers.
These attributes are adequately en-
bodied in the handsome suit shown in
today's sketch.
Here the edges of coat-skirt and
tunic are Identical, both describing
four points. two in front and two in
of the coat stops midway of either
point in front, and the line is continued
by that of the tunic beneath.
The body portion of the coat shows
basquelike lines. 1t fastens directly
down the center front from neck to
long waist line under a fiat band of
fur. which continues across the lower
corners to the open front edge of the

NOURISHING SOUPS FOR
COLD DAYS OF WINTER

These wintry days the good house
wife is a little put to it to accommodate
her desire for nourishing foods to the
costly meat. eggs, cream, etc. whose
use is the common basis for tasty soups
wise chef who has been considering
the matter comes to the aid of the puz-
zled housewife He insists that left
overs of any sort are her most ready
resource. Not only do they form the
foundation of good soups, they also in
dicate the sort of soup to serve We
quote:
suppose, for instance, that on Mon
day morning there is on hand the car
cass of a roast chicken. and the tops
and roots and trimmings from a bunch
of celery, cupful of boiled rice left
from the rice that was served with the
chicken, and\some mashed potato. She
can make potato soup with the mashed
potato. heated and stirred into hot
milk and heated and seasoned with
pepper, salt and a little mace, some
butter and chopped parsley. This soup
must be hot and smooth to be good.
Monday the chicken carcass can be
broken and put over the fire in cold
water with the rice, with a sliced onion
and some of the celery tops, and SIM
mered. The best part of the celery can
be stewed and rubbed through a colan-
der to use Tuesday for cream of celery
soup. when it should be mixed with hot
milk. seasoned and thickened slightly.
The chicken stock should be strained
when it is done and put in a cold place,
where 1t will keep well until Thursday
Half Of it can be used Wednesday with
chopped parsley and fine noodles in it.
The rest can be used the next day, with
half can of okra added.
Suppose the left-overs are a ham
bone and a cup each of canned toma-
toes, peas and beans. The ham bone
should be put aside until the next day.
when it should be put over the fire with
a pint of split peas, soaked overnight
in cold water, drained and then added
to four quarts of water. These ingre-
dents should be simmered for about
six hours, when an onion, some pep
per, a little parsley. salt and a stalk of
celery should be added 1t should sim
mer another hour. and then should be
slightly thickened with flour and but
ter rolled together. This makes it
smooth More water may be added
from time to time as it boils away.
The onion and celery should be re-
moved before serving.
I'm the meantime 10 cents worth of

and simmer with the canned vegetable
until the meat is tender. Enough wa
ter should be added to make a thin
