MAY GATHER CITY'S GARBAGE
j. q. Parker Takes Contract on EX.
perimentaI Scale-Names Route.

The women of the Civic League of
Columbia announced yesterday that
Joseph G. Parker has taken the con-
tract to gather the garbage Of Colum-
bia on an experimental scale. Mr..
Parker decided he could not afford to
buy extra wagons and horses to col
lect garbage unless he was assured
of all the garbage in columbia. He will
begin on the following route: Col
lege avenue, down Rollins street to
Providence road, down Providence
road to Conley, Conley to Sixth street,
Sixth street to Elm, down Elm to Hit,
Hit to Paquin and from Paquin to
College avenue. Garbage will be COL
lected also from all streets adjoining
this route.
As soon as persons in any other
district call to say Mr.. Parker may
have their garbage. that district will

The Open Column
Chronic IndispOsitiOn.

Editor the MissOurian What is
the matter with the students of the
University when only seven compete
for a 500 prize? Shall we attribute
il to the same spirit which sent only
a handful of students to see THE
Trojan Women?' Are our students
becoming incapable of backing any
thing outside of a football game or
a picnic?
Journalists are supposed TO be inter
ested in things Literary: yet only one
journalist entered the poetry contest.
Many students in the College of Arts
and Science are specializing in Eng
lish: yet only six were willing to try
for the Nelson c. Field prize. When
we take into consideration that verse
writing is one of the most helpful lit
erary exercises, this seems a pretty
bad state of affairs.
Surely We are not coming to put
everything we do on monetary ba-
sis, Even if we do not win the 800,
the effort at least, is worth something
to us. Football games and picnics
are great sport always, but let us
struggle against a chronic indisposi-
ton to back anything else. X y y.

NEW YORK FOR CLEAN TEETH.

This week is Dental Hygiene Week
in the New York City public schools,
and My 2S is Toothbrush Day. Some
may laugh at the idea of the schools
trying to teach the children of a city
how to take care of their teeth and
others may. be Mortified at the idea of
their children having TO be tau skt
But the school board of the city of
New York doesn't take such things
into account.
The members know that good teeth
mean good health. good digestion.
clean breath, good looks. They know
that the teeth have a great deal to do
with the pupils ability to concen-
trate on his work. They know that
good teeth prevent disease; so they
are taking a week off to impress this
upon the school children of the city
ana. through them. upon the whole

JUST A TIMELY THOUGHT.

Columbia is to have many and crit
ical visitors within the next two
weeks. The Missouri Valley Track
Meet should call crowd. Then comes
Stunt Week and, biggest of ALL COM
menoement. At the very least, 500
Missouri mothers and fathers will be
here to see Johnny or Mary graduated
from the states highest school. And
there1l be other relatives, too.
So isn't it about time that Columbia
was sprucing up bit? True, there
was a Cleanup Day some time ago:
but that is past and the weeds are
growing again. Columbia, usually so
neat. is becoming a trifie unkept.
Get up tomorrow morning. good
householder, and look at your front
yard. Doesn't it need a shave?

Joesph Harris and f. ID. Moore. Both
of these men we're among the first to

Moore's riding classes are being held

deal of his time with the riders, Mr..
Moore has been fitting bunch OF
horses for the show He has entered
all of last years horses and some
others.
Joe Harris Peter Pan, who in 1914
was the leading road and light har-
ness horse in this part of the coun-
try, has been entered in this show.
Out of twenty-seven firsts in 1914 this
horse captured twenty-six. OF late
he has been shown in moving pic
lures as the ideal type of road horse
and the type of the Missouri cham
pion.
Another one of Mr.. Harris entries
is Prince Albert, who was the winner
of the stallion class in the Illinois
State Fair last year. In winning this
place he defeated Tommy Doyle,
champion stallion of the United
States in the road class. Besides these
veterans of the ring, Mr.. Harris will

that she thought there might be another

to get off without alarming her. At all

not surprise me, for l knew that the ma

but feared to enter any of the bedrooms

necessary if we were to continue our boat

Isola, knowing nothing, ran in and out

horror, peeping in through closed win

Almost as soon as the trial OF William Barnes

President Wilson declares that the Riggs Bank
case aginst Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller
of the Currency John Skelton Williams, involves
no question OF policy on the part of his admins
traton, and that he is not called upon to judge
what is before the courts, viz, the question what
are the legal powers of the Treasury Department
over national banks. Technically, his position is
unassailabe.
But there is broader question than one of
policy involved, a question of ethics, not to be
settled by any definition of powers by the courts.
Supposing that Congress acted within its consti-
tutional rights in conferring discretion" on Nc
Adoo and Williams, the use of such discretion to
wreck a particular bank would be none the less
reprehensble, none the less contemplate in the
eyes of right-thinking persons.
This is the real arraignment OF the Secretary
of the Treasury and the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, before the American people. After the
courts have vndicatcd or repudiated the "discre-
