THE NEW BOOKS
In the Path of LaSalle.

Any boy scout would be pleased to
have for his own copy of "In the
Path of LaSalle." The story starts
with an ice cream cone, and the main
character, who is introduced by trou-
bles of his own making, quickly
passes on to adventures serious and
varied. His struggles to prove him
self honorable carries him through
experiences in government re-lama-
tion service, moving picture making
and historical events. Most of the
scenes are laid along the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers, hence the I'll
tie.
The transformation of this boy of
New York into a man is told in Ian
guage highly entertaining to the boy
mind. and the book is dressed up in
boy scoutish attire, both front and
back inside covers and fly leaves. 1t
is in keeping with other scout books
by the same author, Percy X. Fitz-
hugh. (Thomas Y. Crowell Co., New
York; 374 pages, green cloth cover

THE WORK OF TIE Y. VIC A.

The Y. w. c. A. is too often taken
as a matter of course and the value
of its work under-estimated. Every
bit of the practical Christianity of ev-
cry girl in the University could find
an outlet through the Y. W. c. A.
The fact that the Y w. c. A. is
helping to make it possible for a
hundred girls to be in the University
is enough in itself to show the char
acter of the association. The devo-
tional meetings which are held once
week are a large part but by no
means the whole of the Y. W. C. A.
work.
Every member of the association
who wants an active part in the work
can have it. The opportunity for
personal service is one which no
young woman can afford to miss, for
after all the returns from an educa-
tion begin now, and education is in
creased efficiency for service.

TAXED 10 BECAUSE OF MURDER
Historical Society Gets Old Record
Which Mentions Queer Punishments.

The original manuscript record of
the County Board of Lexington, Mo-,
has been received by the State His
torical Society Library.
F. A. Sampson, secretary Of the
Historical Society says that SO far
as he knows Lexington was the only
town in the state to have a board Of
this kind.
The first entry in the record is
dated August 16, 1862, and tells that
the Board was appointed under the
United States Military Department.
1t apparently was of short duration
for the entries ceased after a few
months.
The first action taken by the Board
Is dated October 16, 1862. This tells
how nineteen persons in the vicinity
of Lexington were assessed fine of
Z per cent of their personal property
to infiict a punishment on the neigh
borhood because a murder took place
there.

One Good Story
At the Wabash

The Missourian reporter was

was sent to report the "4:30 Wabash"
After getting the names, addresses
and business of all white people on
the train he had a few minutes left.
Gazing around, he saw well dressed
negro whom he took to be one of the
negro pastors here. He asked for
the negro's address and destination.
What you wanta know dat foh?"
replied the negro.
"I'm reporting for a paper" said
the student.
"Jist repowt on den," said the ne
gro as he rolled both eyes around.

Short Stories in the Making.

Robert Wilson Neal, in "Short Sto-
ries in the Making" has endeavored
to impart to the reader the technique
and practical composition of short
stories. He sets forth that which he
believes will prove of value to the in
experienced writer as we'll as that
which will aid the more advanced
story-teller. There is no attempt at
comparisons or at a collation. of re-
search from famous writer's. The
book is an endeavor to state the gov
erning rules in writing in such man
ner that those striving to extend their
knowledge may be able to grasp
them. Effort has been made to make
the technique of the writing very
plain. Also, the plot and the theory
of the stage play in relation to the
short story are taken up. The author
recognizes the fact that style and lit
erary art are incommunicable, for
he says: Technique can produce
well-conceiyed, well-planned, we'll
constructed, and often salable stories,
but it cannot produce living litera-
ture." (Oxford University Press, New
York; $50 pages, cloth binding)

PUBLICITY AT WORK.

The Federal Commission on Indus
trial Relations may not solve the
problem of social unrest by summon
ing distinguished persons to give
their views. But the value of the pub
licity accorded those views would be
hard to estimate That publicity will
be a part of the solution.
Labor has too much the idea that
all capital is its sworn enemy. Legis-
lators have made laws on that same
assumption. 1t is gratifying, then, to
the worker to hear a man. as Daniel
Guggenheim, for instance, say the
government should insure workers
against ill-health, old age and unem-
ployment 1t is interesting to hear
Henry Ford tell how he lets his en-
ployes share in the profits of his $780,,
100000 plant, how no one gets less
than s. for his eight hours work. and,
above all, how he would guarantee to
take every convict out Of Sing Sing
and make a man of him" 1t helps,
too, for John d. Rockefeller, Jr., to
say that he favors labor unions. All
in all, it makes the working man
think that capital really isn't so hos
tile, that perhaps its attitude is chang
ing.
Then, too, it is gratifying to have
big business open its eyes to the in
dustrial unrest, to see the demand of
the workers that human rights be
placed above property rights, and,
most of all, feel the growing force of
the pro-labor ideas of the progressive
men in big business
So the light of publicity is doing

The Literary Trawler
Moscow.

"He who has not seen Moscow"
says the Russian, "does not know
what is beautiful" And really no
other city except Constantinople, or
the City on the Seven Hills, by the
Tiber, can present such a magnificent
picture as the seven-hilled city of the
Russian Tsars. When one beholds
for the first time the sea of houses
with their red and green roofs, with
the golden cupolas and crosses and
many-coloured towers of the church
es, when one mixes for the first time
with the strange traffic In the streets
of Kitai Gorod, then only can one un-
derstand the enthusiasm with which
the Russian speaks of his old capi-
tai Extraordinary sights keep the
stranger spell-bound. What here sur
rounds him is not the East with its
binding sunshine, neither is it the
Europe one knows outside the Russian
boundaries. 1t is mixture OF both,
but full of characteristic qualities.
This is what charms the Russian and
astonishes the foreigner. The Rus
sian sees in Moscow more than the
city with its holy memories of its
past; to him it is also the contrast
to the modern st. Petersburg, and
represents the real, unadulterated
Russia.
Seven centuries have passed over
Moscow; hordes of barbarians have
plundered and laid it waste; many
fires have repeatedly destroyed the
whole city or parts of it; yet always
has the phoenix risen just as before
from the ashes. A real Russian city,
that is why the people honour and
love it, and call it by endearing
names. Moscow was called Matush-
ka, Little Mother, in the old folk
songs, and so it is called today

WHEN WILL THE WAR END!

A writer in the American Review
of Reviews says the tide in the Euro
pean war will begin to turn in the
third year. At the opening of the
third year, he says, there will be not
more than 100000 Austrians and
Germans, the last line. They will be
confronted by 100000 Russians,
British and French soldiers, backed
by some hundreds of thousands of
Slavs and Belgians, behind whom
there will be at least 100000 Brit
ish and Russian reserves. This means
that sometime in the third year the
Austro-German forces will begin to
decline and a tremendous advantage
in numbers will belong to the Allies.
That would mean the removal from
the lines of 100000 men by death,
disease, wounds or capture. Half of
that number would be permanently
lost And there would still be to con-
template the most deadly part of the
war of exhaustion.
But must the sacrifice go that far?
Certainly with the end of the war
there must come a freedom from the
militarism that brought on the war
that miIitarism. Must there be other
millions before the people will see?
