PLAYS OF TODAY.

The age seems to have as one of its
characteristics the decline of the
stage. The character of the plays
seen on the stage today is not of high
class. There is very little originality
and still less of worth in the produc-
tions. But one could forgive the
"slapstick' comedy and the lack of
originality If only the production
might hit higher tone and leave a
better general impression.
But almost all of the productions
are strung together with scenery, song
and dance, with little regard to get
ting anywhere as far as producing a
well-rounded play is concerned. The
disagreeable part of the plays of to-
day, however, is the decided flavor Of
the burlesque production which. they
are assuming.

MAKING THE MOVIES DRY.

And now the movies" are going to
be dry in Kansas. At least an order
has been formulated to prevent the
showing of scenes of drunkenness.
Getting drunk in the movies" may
come within the prohibition ideals and
laws of that state But even if it does
not, there is a greater value in the
movement as a censorship of the
moving picture. 1t should receive the
commendation of those who rejoice in
the adoption of the rule that kiss,
in the movies" should not last long
er than three seconds, or through
more than three feet of film.
And now If someone will please
come ahead and provide a way OF
stopping the seemingly interminable
fights of the movies" there will be
even greater rejoicing. Let the good
work go on.

My FayOrite Poem.

Let me but do my work from day to
day,
In field or forest, at desk or loom,
In roaring market place, or tranquil
room;
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When the vagrant wishes beckon me
astray:
This is my work, my blessing, not my
doom.
OF all who live, am the one by whom
This work can best be done, in the
right way"
Then shall / see it not too great, nor
too small
To suit my spirit and to prove my
powers;
Then shall | cheerful greet the la
boring hours,
And cheerful turn, when the long
shadows fall
At eventide, to play and love and rest.
Because for me l know my work is
best.

the American and the Englishman are
representatives of the highest types
of civilization. But the quibbling
about prohibition in the hour of Eng
lands great national crisis and the
stand taken by so-called ignorant Rus

sistent.
Russia and France have had the
courage to meet this vital issue face
to-face and have decided to rid them
selves of the curse of liquor during
the war at least. England, however,
is divided on this question Strange

What housewife will not delight in
buying her meats and vegetables in a

have this roast taken to the kitchen of

right degree, all ready to serve for
dinner.
These are some of the conveniences
that Hetzler Brothers new market
will have when it opens next Septem-
ber. In connection with the market
will be delicatessen which will have
meats, fowls, fish and salads ready to
serve. All the housewife will have
to do if her husband brings home un-
expected guests is to. order the meal,
already prepared.
The delicatessen kitchen will be
equipped with electric devices. Meats,
fowls, fish of all kinds will be cooked.
Salads will also be made. However,
nothing will be served in the store.

DESIGNS A NEW GASOLINE MOTOR
Walter C. Thee, University Student,
VIII Have His Invention Patented.

After two years work, Walter C..
Thee of Kansas City, sophomore
pre-engineer, has just completed the
design for new type of rotary
valve gasoline motor. This valve al
ternately admits unburned gas to and
exhausts burned gas from the cylin-
ders. and necessitates specially con-
structed engine of two. four, six or
eight cylinders.
"The rotary-valve," says Mr.. Thee.
lis the feature of the motor, and
makes possible much simpler type
of internal-combustion gasoline en-
gine. More than so per cent of the
working parts of the old style poppet-
valve motor-the costly cams and
cam-shafts, the noisy valves, valve
springs and push-rOds-have been
eliminated. The design not only re-
duces the cost of construction, but
also does away with practically all
wear and tear due to friction between
sliding surfaces"
The rOtary-valve also facilitates
perfect combustion This has not been
successfully accomplished so far, ac-
cording to Mr.. Thee. 1t also provides
ideal conditions for removing burnt
gases from the cylinders. 1t is kept
perfectly fabricated by a forced feed,
and is water-cooled. There is no wear
whatever on the walls of the valve
chamber, as the valve rotates on a
shaft provided with roller-bearings at
each end.

There was once a passage at arms
between Elizabeth Stanton, the emf

Greeley, on the occasion of a discourse
by the former on the right of women
to the ballot. In the midst of her talk
Greeley interposed:
what would you do in time of war
if you had the suffrage?
This seemed like poser but the lady
had been before the public too long to
be put out by question, and she re-
piled:

FARMERS HELP INVESTIGATION
1900 Answer Questions Regarding
Commercial Fertilizers.


A supplementary investigation of
the use and effectiveness of CONNER
cial fertilizers on Missouri farms has
been carried on this year by Paul w.
Chapman, graduate student in the
College Of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity. His work was done in coopera-
tion with the soils department.
Six hundred and sixty-four dealers
who sell fertilizers ins Missouri were
sent letters of inquiry. From the g.
600 names that these dealers sent in
1000 farmers were selected as repre-
sentative Of every community in the
state and letters were written to
them. Six questions concerning the
profits, grades of fertilizer used, the
soils that respond best and the in
creased yield were answered by these
farmers and dealers.

NEWSPAPER PERSONALITY.


The wonderful personality of Mr..
Nelson and the way in which he i'm
bued his workers and his paper with
il has been the keynote of all the
comment written about him since his
death. These tributes are direct
refutations of the theory that the mod
ern metropolitan daily is a souless or
gan, a thing which kills the identity
of all its workers and obscures men
of great ability.
Nor was the case of Mr.. Nelson the
only one; a last exception to the rule.
He stood out as the greatest personal
element in the journalism of the
country, but there are other men who
are making their personality felt and
there will be still others in the fu-
ture. OF course, they do not express
themselves in the way which was done
by the great journalists of half CEN
tury ago, who made their names
known because their papers were
really little more than political es-
says. But even under the changed
conditions of today there is a place
for the man of strong personality and
he is filling it.
