GETTING THE HEADLINE HABIT

An American who isn't in hurry
is either sick or very recently a
foreigner, sometimes both. The ma
tional contagion of being ION the
jump" grows upon the newcomer
soon after his arrival in the United
States. The native who isn't so
busy that he has 70 leave out some
thing he really intended to do very
probably is quiescent only in an
ticipation of the doctors visit. And
the doctor, being an American,
breaks the speed laws coming in
an automobile.
This hurry habit of 'us Ameri-
cans" is the one great reason for
the black and complete headlines
that are found in American news
papers. British and other foreign
journals are very quiet, pale and
uninformative as to what is to be
found in the news stories. But the
American, reading in a hurry, as
he does all other things, has to
have his new set before him plainly,
in tabloid form so that literally,
'he who runs may read"
If the headline happens to con-
Germ something in which he is par
ticularly interested, the American
may pause to read the story, or at
least paragraph or two. But the
real Americans who read every
word in the newspaper may be
counted on the right-hand fingers
of an armless man. They simply
aren't.
If you happen to doubt the as
sertion, pause right here and con-
template how many news stories
in tonight's Missourian you have
read. One? Two? Three? About
all, eh?
Well, you're an American, then,
and you've got the headline habit.
Sure you have!

The New Books
A Modern Criterion.

On the ground that traditional
ethics seems to offer little in the
way of suggestion for the solution
of our newly moral problems, Pro-
fessor Hershel Coffin of the depart
ment of philosophy of Earlham
College has prepared text of eth
les for the modern man. He has
stated in clear and untechnical
terms in The Socialized Con-
science" a point of view in regard
to moral life; and has shown how it
may be applied in dealing with
typical moral situations.
The criterion is applied to di-
vorce, marriage, sex immortality,
schools, amusements and other
timely problems. 1t demands that
progress in the moral order shall
be the ideal towards which all ef-
fort, both individual and social,
shall be directed. 1t demands also
that all members of society shall
cooperate to the fullest extent with
each other and with the established
social institutions in order to solve
the problems. Every member of
society, then, must be unselfish; he
must have a social conscience.

FARMER BROWN.

Farmer Brown hooked up the
last tug, climbed up into the seat
of his small, truck wagon and went
jogging off to town. There, he
went up and down streets calling
his vegetables and fruits. He made
sales sometimes. Often he found
that Farmer Smith or Farmer
Iones had already been around.
One day Farmer Smith came to
him and talked something like this:
There isn't any use of you, Farm
er Jones and myself continually
fighting each other. We don't get
what our vegetables are worth.
Let's pull together"
That was the beginning of a CO.
operative movement of the farmers
of that district which brought bet
ter produce, lower prices to the
consumer and more money to the
truck raisers. All over the United
States today the farmers are COM
bining to eliminate waste. For
waste is paid for partly by the con-
sumer. partly by the producer.
Take the Southern Produce Com
pany of Norfolk. Va. 1t has 400
members. 1t handles all the truck
grown in that neighborhood at a
fixed percentage. 1t buys seeds,
fertilizers and other supplies for
the truckers. The company has
bought and equipped an experiment
farm, has a six-story office building

HOLDS OPENING DEBATES
Union Literary Society Is After
University Championships.

The preliminary debates for po-
sitions on the debating team OF the
Union Literary Society were held
Saturday evening and resulted in
the selection of w. K. Atwood,
Paul H. Arthur and S. p. Wilkes.
The judges we're DR.. F. M. Tisdel
and d. C. McEuen, both of the pub
lie speaking department of the Uni
versity. The subject debated upon
was that the states should adopt a
schedule of minimum wages for un-
skilled laborers, constitutionality
conceded. This same minimum
wage topic will be debated upon
when the Union Literary Society
team meets the debating team OF
the Athenaean Society, which will
be in December.
In debate the Athenaean Society
has defeated the NJ. S. U. Debating
Society so the Union-Athenaean de-
bate will decide the championship
among the University literary So
cieties.
Minimum wages for unskilled la
Dor will also be the subject of de-
bate at the 'tryouts" for member
ship on the University debating
squad. The selection for the Uni
versity team will be made about
December.

wOMEN's SALARIES.

Along with the increase in the
cost of living in the past six years
there has been an increase in the
wages of women. The management
and clerical industries of the state
gave employment to 1866 women
in the state. There are 80 women
in the state who are owners OF un-
incorporated establishments, each
of whom, in addition to managing
the bushes, did actual manual or
office work, thereby taking the
place of a worker. There were
1888 stenographers employed in
the state that drew on an average
of s43 a month. Six years ago the
average pay in the state for a stem
ographer was $41 a month, which
shows an increase of nearly 5 per
cent.
The salary paid to stenographers
about equals that paid to the aver
age school teacher throughout Mis-
souri, and is more than women and
girls earn in factories. Stenogra-
piers, who hold State positions,
average about $S3 month. There
are I,735 women clerks employed
in the state with an average of $43
a month. The similarity in sal
aries of clerks and stenographers
indicates that a good clerk is
worth as much to a manufacture as
the average stenographer, condi-
ton probably due to the market be-
ing overcrowded with women stem
ographers of average ability.
Many of these carry business Col
lege diploma, but have only COM
mon school education, and often
even less.
That many women clerks earn as
much as their sisters who are book
keepers is shown by that 5S2 book
keepers employed by the factories
and workshops in thirty-one lead
ing cities and towns in the state
averaged only $4S a month. Six
years ago they averaged $39 a
month. Saleswomen solicitors and
buyers averaged $64 a month for
the past year and six years ago
they averaged s35 month.
What salaries are paid women
and girls who did Office work or
sold goods is probably more inter-
esting at the present minute than
the earnings of their brothers, hus-
bands, fathers or sweethearts
since Missouri has voted on equal
suffrage Since the vote is cast
will the salaries for women go up
or down, is a question now being
discussed by "the working girl"

You can turn gray, faded hair beau

Remedy at any drug store. Millions
of bottles of this old, famous Sage

Those whose hair is turning gray,

because after one or TWO applications
the gray hair vanishes and your locks
become luxuriantly dark and beauti-
ful-all dandruff goes, scalp itching
and falling hair stops.
This is the age of youth. Gray

be delighted with your dark, handsome
hair and your youthful appearance

The Impossible.

Nobody will begrudge a holiday to a
President of the United States who ha
accomplished the impossible.
1t was impossible that the Democratic
party. with its long record of folly, fool
I shness and faction. could be transformed
into an effective instrument of govern
ment
1t was impossible that President who
had had no experience in national poll.
tics. and no personal acquaintance with
the leaders of the party. could work har-
moniously with congress.
1t was impossible that an unwieldy
majority such as the Democrats had in
the House could be held together.
1t was impossible that a narrow ma
jority such as the Democrats had in the
Senate could be prevented from surren-
dering to privilege and giving the coun-
try another example of party perfidy
and party dishonor."
1t was impossible thar ,ne Democratic
party. in the light of its history for sc
years, could carry out sane, construc-
tive policy OF government.
