 The rise of Resputin has been an enigma to all the nobles of the court who have not fallen under his influence. His absence from St. Petersburg, dur ing which the attack upon him came,
 was hoped to mean that he had fallen into disgrace, but just previous to the news of his being stabbed. the an nouncement was made that he had been recalled to the Emperor's palace.

Working out Sir Henry Blake's leading idea to It's ultimate conclusions, one may
 grasp the full meaning of the future.
 Disasters at sea would no longer take
 their fearful toll of life. for rubber
 built ships might collide with no worse
 result than cannon off the cushion. A
 rubber capped aviator falling head fore
 most upon a rubber coated road would
 just bounce and bounce.
 A thousand accidents of grievous con-
 sequence in modern life would be quite
 trivial The waiter who spills the soup over ones new suit would merely have to bring a rubber sponge and wipe one s rubber coat If the fashions of women, $ froc<s changed from short skirts to long skirts they could be stretched as easily as elastic bands. or vice versa. Old clothes. old furniture. any old thing about the house, could be sent to the manu- facturers and produced again in the 1 form of motor tires. golf balls. hair combs or babies feeding bottles. accord 1 ing to ones immediate requirements, be- 1 cause rubber never loses it's essential l qualities, and is capable of numerous ] transmutations.

HENRY BLAKE SEES ! NO|SELESS LONDON

Believes That Use of Rubber as Furniture Will Make

I.ondon.-Sir Henry Blake, president or theh fourth International Rubber and Al

 to a day when the streets of London will
 be paved with rubber and the brain flag
 consequent upon the incessant noise or
 mai nthoroughfares will be minimized to the advantage of hundreds of thousands Of people.
 When the exhibition was last held in London, three years ago. the idea might have been dismissed as utopian, but since
 then such striking progress has been made, both in the manufacture and the use of plantation rubber. that Sir Henry Blake's vision may we'll be within the range of practical politics.
 The exhibition itself which has the
 official support of more than forty gov ernments, affords abundant evidence or the progress which has been made. One room-a writing room-is completely fur nished in rubber. The walls are covered l in rubber slxillfully disguised as wall pa-

 all-conquering material The tables and

Scant Sand Eating" Cure


 Neither homomedical nor geological sanction could be obtained in New York for the new Indiana stomach cure of seat ing sand. Fortified by the dispatch from Muncie. Ind. printed in the Sun, telling how George w. Cromer, former congress- man; John N. F1tzgibbon, former assist ant state factory inspector, and Harry w. Long. former prosecuting attorney, had cured all internal ills by swallowing small portions of the best selected white sand, reporter sought the stomach spe- cialists of the city to learn what they thought of the new treatment.
 Dr. George Roe Lockwood, Jr, was in Quebec, Dr. Evan Evans is vacationing inconmlJnicado Dr. Jacob Fuhs had just sailed for Europe in the morning and ether specialists were at the beaches, where there is~lots of sand, not only to eat, but to get in your nose, eyes and ears. Dr. Harry Warren Lincoln, of 113 Earcock street, Brooklyn. interrupted the practice of gastrology long enough to say that sand as stomach cure was new to him and he would therefore refrain from expressing any opinion of it's merits, says Nthe New York Sun.
 Dr. w. T. Hornaday was asked if sand is as good for humans as it is alleged to be for certain habitants of the Bronx zoo.
 "Fshaw. no animal eats sand that I know of" he answered. "Chickens and other birds whose example is cited don't eat sand, but gravel. It Is true that the sea lion when but lightly freighted and without square meal swallows pebbles to keep him in ballast until he can get a regular cargo of food. Demosthenes put pebble in his mouth and his hearers thrust their tongues in their cheeks, but Eemosthenes did not swallow the pebble.

AN ANNUAL SCARE.

Just as the last frost in the
spring reminds the reporter that it
is time for him to begin killing
the peach crop in Missouri, so is
the first frost in the fall the signal
for him to commence on the supply
of turkeys.
One fellow says that on account
of the dry summer it was an easy
matter to raise turkeys. All one
had to do was to get them Matched
and the dry weather did the rest
Another says that the turkey eggs
hatched all right but that the sum-
mer was so dry that the little turks
all dried up and blew away. and
therefore the crop of turkeys is
short several billion. There are
only few left for the millionaires,

THE DUTY OF NEUTRALITY.

OF all the great nations of the
world there are only two, Italy and
the United States, that are not at
war today. Now it appears that
Italy has small chance of remain
ing out of the general European
conflict. The United States is the
only first class power in the world
that is not likely to be drawn into
the war.
Our first president, George Wash
ington, made neutrality the key
note of our foreign policy when he
declared against entangling for
eign alliances. Jefferson, Moh-
roe, Cleveland and other presidents
have followed his example. Our
history and our geographical posi-
tion have committed US to a policy
of neutrality.
From this policy the Unitee.
States has reaped abundantly. To
day while ruin is sweeping the
other great countries of the world,
the United States is suffering moth
ing more terrible than a slight f.

"RELIGION OF THE SPIRIT
Realty Must Back up Belief
Says Mr.. Hart.

The Rev. Madison A. Hart, pastor
of the Christian Church, addressed
the Y. w. C. A. yesterday afternoon
at its regular weekly meeting. The
subject of his talk was "The Reli-
gion of the Spirit"
Mr.. Hart spoke of the three types
of religion found in history, creedal,
formal and spiritual. Before any
knowledge of science, religion was
Ian gely form. With the growth of
education, religion became more OF
less creedal through the attempt
of people to state their belief intel
lectually. Neither of these is last
ing. Religion must be of the spirit
and of life. There must be reality
IN everything.
Each week the Y. w. c. A is ad-
dressed by someone connected with

The Open Column
Beatin' the Road,

Editor The Missourian:-Is 1t
any more ethical to cheat the rail-
road companies by stealing rides
than it is to defraud any other in
situation?
There are laws which regulate
our transportation, which reduce
railroad monopolies, and sorle-
times throw them into bankruptcy.
The men who make these laws are
the same just men who regulate
rates and prices for other institu-
tions. Yet the hobo, the man who
beats the railroad for ride, is the
only thief who thinks he is justi-
fed in his theft. 1t has been hand
ed down to these men through sew
eral generations that the railroads
have always charged unjust rates
and that any man has the right-by-
custom to beat them if possible.
Surely this is not the attitude
taken by the students of the Uni
versity. They are not hobos, yet
some think it entirely ethical to
bum. They look at the money side
only as matter of saving, not as
a matter of gain by theft. And,
too, perhaps the greatest induce
ment, which in part offsets the mat
ter of theft, is the excitement. |
Bumming is one good outlet for
stored up energy.
Yet none of these reasons justify
any commission of such an offense.

WOULD AID FEEBLE.MINDED
Backwardness in School Leads to
Truancy and Crime, Says Pyle.

Prof. W. H. Pyle of the Univer-
sity is the author of bulletin, just
published, on Abnormal and De-
fective Children" Professor Pyle
pleads for the conservation of hu-
man energy, doing for every child
that which is best for 1t and doing
IL at the proper time. He points
out that the same general laws of
heredity and proper care, along
which line the state has been fur
nishing such excellent advice to ag-
riculturists and horticulturists,
apply also to children. All mental
and physical characteristics are in
herited. Sickness has a cause, as
also has any lack of proper develop
ment, mental or physical.
Professor Pyle draws his conclu-
sions from the general percentage
of feeble-minded childI en-, of which
Missouri has 3S,260 Excluding the
lowest grades of feeble-mindedness,
there remain 33,477 who attend
public schools. Inability to ac-
complish such work as planned for
normal pupils leads to truancy,
and truancy to crime. Professor
Pyle quotes authorities, saying that
40 per cent of criminals are feeble
minded, and he found by personal
examination of the State Industrial
School for Girls that two-thirds of
those in that institution were fee
ble-minded.
These indisputable figures lead
Professor Pyle to advocate the ear
ly diagnosis and detection of men
tai or physical weaknesses. He be-
lieves that the establishment of |
proper and individual classes in
the schools to be no more than an
economic measure and should re-
ceive proper state aid. He would
have school children examined and
given such instruction and care as
has been scientifically proven best.

The Literary Trawler
Education for Efficiency.

Education for mere personal eff
cheney tends to produce a type that
aims at personal aggrandizement
1t is a selfish type: it tries to
achieve its end frequently at the
expense of others. 1t is not a So
cialized type, or cooperative one.
The education that produces this
type is therefore a failure, since
the ideal education produces a per-
son who aims at efficiency, it is
true, and consequently at success,
but not at efficiency and success at
the expense of others. Rather, he
seeks the success that comes to his
fellows along with himself. He is
accordingly of the type that helps
to move the world forward.
The type of efficiency for which
the age is calling now, is the one
that enables a population to CO.
operate toward common end, and
achieve that end together, all ben
efitting equally. The education
that produces such a type must deal
largely with the humanities, and
therefore should avoid any extreme
In practical training. Purely prac-
tical training may make a success
full individual, but frequently it
makes him successful to commu-
nifty detriment. There the peril
lies.-P. L. Campbell.
