some of the other girls are chasing

would shame burlesque troupe and

you ever notice just what kind OF at
tention they attract? OF course you
haven't. You don't happen to be
within earshot when some of the boys
say what they really think about the
"other girls" Thank God you don't.
You're too young to know those things
yet awhile.
You say the other girls laugh at
your simple, pretty little frocks and
at your freckles. Let 'em laugh! That
shows they ARE the other kind of
girls. Your mother and met each
other long, long ago. | loved her
enough to ask her to marry me and
she cared enough for me to answer
s'Yes.n We've been happy ever
since, haven't we, Ma? Our marriage
took. 1t didn't take any split skirt or
silhouette gown to make me fall in
love with your mother. She never
had such contraptions on in her life.
And I didn't go prancing up and
down Main street with a monkey hat
on the back Of my head and cigarette
poked out in front of my face.
Let the other girls smile if they
want to, but just wait for the finish.
You won't find the decent young chaps,
the kind I would want to give my
little girl to, marrying the "other
girls"
That's right, have good cry If you
want to, it'll do you good. But re-

that pretty little dress, the one we all
like-and we'll all go to the moving

are valued by men taking them is
shown by the fact that of the 1893
students enrolled in the first term, SO
have have been here before.
There is also a short course for
women.e Around big U-shaped
table you may see them studying the
proper methods of food preparation.
On individual stoves they experiment
in the cooking of foods. In other
classes they learn how to plan and
serve meals. There are classes in
canning and preserving, dressmaking,
buttermaking, and poultry raising.
The most interesting course, some
of the men say, is shop work. Weld
ing and tempering is taught in max

and cold chisels. In the woodwork
department the students are well
along in framing building.
In the soils department. the students
are experimenting with fertilizer on
soil that has been taken from their
counties. Here are plants growing
in every kind of Missouri soil, under
every condition, with every kind
of fertilizer. The home mixing of
fertilizer is taught SO that saving of
10 to 20 per cent can be made on the
fertilizer bill.

Improving the Breed by Law.


That the enforcement through legal
agencies of the principles of eugenics,
admirable as they are, belongs to a
future ideal state Of society, and not
to the imperfect present, is the opinion
of such authorities as DR.. Williams
Mabon, superintendent of the Man
hatten state hospital and chairman of
the Medico- Psychological association,
committee which has studied the sub.
ject with scientific care, and certainly
without prejudice against any practic-
able scheme for race improvement.
The conclusions of the committee
were supported by the society at it's
meeting, when resolutions advocat-
ing "clean bills of health' and. .."evi-
dence of normal mindn in candidates
for marriage licenses were emphatical-
ly rejected by it.
Like most reformers, the eugenists
move too fast. They would remake a
world over night, and change the
habits of a whole race by writing a
law on the statute books. Not only
would the course which they advo-
cate fail to accomplish the purpose
they desire, but it would inevitably
bring in its train unnecessary suffer-
ing and lawlessness. But this els not
to say that their crusade viii accom-
lish no good. On the contrary, as
DR.. Mabon says:
"I do think that, as education OF
the people continues, and the lay
public become more and more familiar
with the consequence of the marriage
Of unfit persons, the health Of pros
pective husband or wife will exert Q
more and more powerful influence
and that love will move within mar

It will be observed that Mr.. Mabon
does not exclude love from his highly
educated, sensitive andiresponsibility.

it's field somewhat by extending the

What the Medico- Psychological as
sociatlon has done is to acknowledge
the impotency of law to bring about
a condition that can be attained only
through education. If other societies
would recognize, as it does, that all
progress is not measured by statutory
enactments, a good many mischievous
laws would soon cease to cumber the
books; and were the money expend-
ed in Intellectual efforts to enforce
them devoted to the cause of educa-
tion the advent of ideal conditions
might be brought appreciably closer.

Mustn't Touch"

Remember when you we're little
tad, or taddess, and your mother or
father pointed out something to your
little eyes and said: Mustn't touch"9
OF course you remember it. You'll
never forget as long as you live how
those words threw cloak of mystery
around the object that you "Mustn't
touch,n and how that phrase started
the determination in your mind that
you would touch.
The other day a mother took her
two year old baby to call on neigh
Dor. The first thing the child noticed
in the room was the glare OF the fire
in stove. She pointed at it and said,
in her childish lisp:
"Pitty!n
"Mustn't touch, baby" warned her
mother, drawing her away from the
stove.
Then the mother turned to talk with
her friend The very first thing the
baby did was to touch the hot stove.
The "Mustn't touchn command of her
mother only whetted her curiosity
and MADE her touch the stove. But
she burned her hand and learned
through experience not to touch.
The other day the mother OF "a boy
in town here made some pumpkin
pies. As she placed them near the
window to cool she saw her young
son looking longingly at the steaming
pies.
Mustn't touch'' she warned, shak-
ing finger at him. Then she left the
room. The first thing her son did was
to grab one Of the pies and eat it all
He became veryill.
He learned, through experience,
that he shouldn't eat too much pie.
The Mustn't touch'' warning had on
ly made him all the more curious.
Men and women are only big boys
and girls. They have almost the same
thoughts and identically the same
aversion to the phrase "Mustn't
touch" Only in the realm Of bic
boy and girlhood it isn't a mother OF
father who says Mustn't touch" but
some law, framed by zealot who
would try to make legislation do what
nothing but education or experience
will accomplish. Such laws are al
ways broken and thus is generated 8
disrespect for good and necessary
laws.

Help the Starving Belgians.
To the Editor Christmas approach

To the Editor Christmas approach
es and to quote the Presidents
Thanksgiving Proclamation sit has
been vouchoafed to us to remain at
peace with honor" The duty and the
privilege remain of averting starva-
ton amongst the Belgian refugee
this winter and for this special pur-
pose the Dollar Christmas Fund has
been organized.
1t is estimated to date that all the
help subscribed in America-and it
has been very liberal including the
aid of the wealthy Rockefeller Foun-
dation-does not average more than a
few cents for each destitute Belgian
enough to buy food for few days!
The Dollar Christmas Fund has one
great ambition-to see that every
man, woman and child this Christmas
shall have food, clothing and shelter.
This great achievement is, happily,
still possible, and to this end we are
working with the Christmas Fund of
London which has collected for the
same purpose nearly 100000. The
cooperation Of the two organizations
has many decided advantages. 1t pro-
vides a safeguard against waste from
overlapping. 1t enables our Fund to
enjoy the guidance of members of the
Belgian government as regards the
distribution of relief. All our workers
are voluntary and every cent sub
scribed, after deducting the cost of
stamps and stationery, goes direct to
the Belgians
Even if you have given to every
other fund, we beg you in the name of
humanity to assist the Christmas Fund
for which l appeal as Treasurer. Help
to send a Christmas gift worthy of
America tribute of sympathy from
one people to another whose needs
and sorrows are immeasurable.
If you realize that millions are liter
ally faced with starvation, that, chill
dren are still crying for food, shelter
less women dragging their weary way
to help, that aged men are homeless
and shivering and this despite all
that is being done you will give be-
fore Christmas and give literally.
England has received 100000 of the
refugees but there are unnumbered
thousands still wandering in France
and Holland besides those in stricken
Belgium.
A fresh inspiration to our own peace
full Christmas in America will be lent
it if we relieve now the sufferings Of
little innocent children, unoffending
women, and aged men, and you may
rest assured that no .man's Christmas
Day will be the less happy because
the gift may entail some measure of
personal sacrifice.
Let us remember at this crisis that
'sto pity distress is but human; to re-
lieve it is Godlike."
aNAll contributions entrusted to me as
Treasurer will be promptly and thank
fully acknowledged Send along your
dollar more if you can.
Yours, very truly,

Ancient Gateways.

In days when cities we're walled
about for purposes of defense against
an enemy, most of the masters of the
people being marauders and brigands,
there were real gates, by which is
meant tremendous doors of solid oak
built within stone walls which were
indestructible by any weapons Of those
times. The ancient gates were built
in the walls Of cities at those points
where the chief highways centered
and on which an enemy would surely
try to make his attack.

Not the Right Motion,

A very sordid notion prevalent in
the minds of many, is that the schools
are largely to teach the boy and girl
how to earn money. In my mind, much
more importance should be placed
upon the proper enjoyment OF 1t than
upon the mere acquisition Of wealth
and other worldly goods. We school
teachers should aim to teach the child
to appreciate the finer things In life,
such as right living. beautiful sur
