Faith Glover, the little granddaugh-
ter of the old plainsman. who in her
childish fancy peoples the plains
around Pawnee Rock with princes and
princesses. A blizzard on Christmas
Eve, when the old plainsman with his
Indian pony saves the money-getter
from death under the wreck of his
motor car and when the young man
and young woman are reconciled af-
ter an estrangement caused by the
plotting of the miserly uncle, is the
closing incident.

With SO many countries in the war
or about to be In and with so many
contradictory war stories coming in
every day, there will be some hot

II is such a complicated affair, this
keeping up with the war, that some of
us would be glad to hear the decision
after one such sitting.

The Open Column
Bad Housing Conditions.

Editor the Missourian: Missouri is
entitled to the respect of mankind be-
cause it has furnished the world the
character of Champ Clark; then, also,
it has produced hundreds of famous
men. If that is true of the state, ii
must also be true of Columbia, one of
the renowned seats of learning, where
the state university is located. Few
cities of its size in the United States
have finer buildings than columbia
has, with her beautiful surroundings.
When a stranger enters city where
a famous institution is located, he ex-
poets to find in 1t a more cultured at
mosphere. That we have In Columbia.
Surely, here, all seems to combine
into great maxim: Eighth street
connects the courthouse, the seat of
justice, with the campus of the Uni
versity, the seat of learning. In the
courthouse are the interpreters of Jus
tice; on the campus there are the busy
youth absorbing knowledge. Behind
the campus there are the temporary
homes of the students from the four
corners of the globe; behind the court
house there are the homes of the peo-
pie of all classes.
That is the contrast. Behind the
courthouse is place where the stu
dent of sociology will learn in an
hour what he will never learn in a
days reading. There one sees a good.
living picture of district in an un-
sanitary condition. There one
sees the bad housing condition, be-
cause the dwellings do not have suffi-
cient light, ventilation or space There
it is over-crowded, because big fami-
lies live together in little rooms, with
out any possible separation of the
sexes, of the young from the old, Of
the dirty from the clean. Of the living
room from the kitchen.
Through the back yards run dirty
streams; there are festooned cobwebs
and poorly drained barns or stables;
in the little lots around the house one
sees file of old carts; there are the
children lying on the steps or rolling
on the dirty floors of the houses,
while their mothers are cooking Or
doing housework or washing; there
are the homes free for the invasion of
disease, apartments exposed to fire,
the district where most of the death
is recorded; there is grocery store,
behind which is storage of all kinds
Of waste In short, there is one of
many districts in very unsanitary
which needs the attention
Of a city physician or the attention Of
the board Of health or the helping
hands of the community.
But what per cent of the people of

ALMA MATER

The exuberant college spirit, which
spills over notably during the stress
and excitement of the football season,
is distinct phase of American aca-
demic life. True enough the "old
grads" of Oxford or Cambridge have a
sneaking feeling of loyalty for their
alma mater, but it is more an exclusive
caste feeling that animates them rath-
er than this unthinking. unquestioning
loyalty of the American student for his
college.
A Harvard man, q Cornell man, a
Missouri man carries his prediction
with him throughout life. 1t colors
his views; it controls his sympathies,
it is ever present in his mind. But
the same thing is true not only of the
sons of the big universities. with
hoary traditions, high athletic repute,
and social prestige but also of the
sons of the little, unknown and un-
famed colleges scattered over the
length and breadth of the land.
This particularly American aspect
of academic life naturally finds its ex-
PLANTATION in American conditions.
Abroad, the student. like the wander
ing scholars of the Middle Ages, still
travels from place to place, spending
one semester at one university and
another term in different one. He
frequently extends his travels over
the boundaries of his native land. and
his student life takes on a cosmopoli-
tan character. If he develops any 10y
atty at all, it concerns his favorite
study or profession or-if perhaps he
is differently inclined-his favorite di-
version, and his songs are not of Fair
Harvard or of Far Above Cayugas )
Waters" or of "Old Missouri" but of
the goddess" physician and the "dia-
lectic" theologian or of the call of the
high road and the pleasures of the
flowing bowl.
Lack of perspective is in large
measure responsible for the intensive
college loyalty of the American. stu
dent. The pleasant and merry days
of youth have been lived in a set To-
cality, and the sweet memories of by
gone days which accompany him
throughout life are invariably asso-
ciated with the pictures of his alma
mater. When he sings the old songs
and gives the. old cheers, the gol len
days of youth once more come back
20 the "old grad" and a commjn SEN
timent spans the breach of genera
tions when the old alumni and the un-
dergraduates join together in their de-
votion to alma mater.

THE CONFERENCE

HARRISBURG is honored this
week in entertaining the East
Pennsylvania Conference of the
United Brethren in Christ, which is
in session in the Sixth Street United
Brethren church.
This city has long been an import
ant religious center, as evidenced by
here, and 1t bears reputation for
church going of which it may well be
proud. One of the strongest of the
denominations in this city is the
United Brethren, which includes five
large and flourishing congregations in
the city proper and four or five more
in the immediate suburbs. The East
PENNSYLVANIA Conference includes 149
churches between the Susquehanna
and the Delaware rivers, with nearly
$4,000 communicates.
AS the representatives of these
thousands of church people, several
hundred clerical and lay delegates are
gathered here and we are more than
proud to have men of such high
caliber with us. The preacher to-day
is a man of sacrifice even more than in
days gone by. Living costs have in
creased, the demands of the pew ON
the pulpit are so exacting that a costly
education is almost a necessity to sue
cess. and the man of the cloth has to
scrape to make ends meet more than
ever. But has anyone heard of any
sudden jumps in the salaries paid to
ministers? A few, perhaps, but only
sufficient to establish the exception
that proves the rule.

BARRING OUT BOOZE

Over the entrance gates of the great
plant of the Illinois Steel Company Mt
Gary, Ind, appear these electric
signs:
Did booze ever do you any good?
Did booze ever get you better job?
Did booze ever contribute anything
to the happiness of your family?
In a letter to the Manufacturers
Record the president of the steel COM
pany z. ]. Burlington, writes: "The
purpose of these signs is to emphasize
the importance of certain recognized
facts related to hygiene and physical
efficiency. During recent years our
safety. sanitation and welfare work
among employees has borne good fruit
in the form of a manifested interest
on the part of employees generally in
the question of individual efficiency
and we'll being as an economic factor
in their lives"
The Temperance Society of the
Methodist Church of Topeka recently
made inquiry regarding liquor in the
plants of 40 iron and steel companies
OF the 100 that replied only six fail to
prohibit the use of Intoxicating drinks
by employees.
This isn't a matter of morals. 1t is
matter of efficiency The use of
liquor by a working force reduces its
efficiency. 1t is the conflict of the
hand loom and the power loom over
again. OF course. the power loom
wins to-day as it always has Kansas
City Star.
