PHANTOM SHIPS

The battleships Wisconsin, Ohio
and Missouri are to be retired to the
reserve feet.
Each year, one or more of these
warships are put on the shelf, so to
speak. One reason for this is the lack
of sufficient men in the navy to man
the vessels. This is particularly true
of the three ships mentioned, as they
are not yet old enough to have lost
their usefulness.
AS these ships are retired. the keel
for a new warship will be laid. Octo-
bersl4 was set as the date for the
beginning of the battleship California
The California will be electrically
propelled, carry twelve fourteen-inch
guns and cost s16.OO0.0O0. What is
her future?
This year the naval school at An
napolis was opened to greater num-
Der of students. However, the pres
ent navy has only third Of the men

without visible life on her decks?
In short, why build more warshiDs
when there are not enough men to
keep those already built in commits

with warships alone? No. 1t is the
mind behind the gun and not the gun
that protects. And the larger the gun,

BOOTS TO BOOT

Now comes Dame Fashion and
makes the order that frail young
maidens shall no longer be seen in
high-necked, fur-trimmed coats and
decollete pumps.
The time was when the more deli
cate lass wore soles only, so to speak,
while her more vigorous. sturdy sis
ter wore low heels and "a,l-embrac-
Ing" shoetops. Now. both are to wear
boots, which, in some cases. are rolled
at the top like grandfather's big hip
boots.
For years authors have obtained
raany q pot-boiler from boots. The
maiden rushes for the train. Horrors.
Her shoe falls OF. A handsome young
Adonis picks it up. puts it in his pock-
ct and follows her. giving up all to do
SO. The end comes as the hero slips
the slipper on milady's foot, with the
words. "what boots it,"
Now, alas. what a change! This
season brings no hope of losing the
boots. Even the most resourceful au-
thor could not fool the gullible pub
lie with a story in which the heroine
must rip the yard or more of shoe
laces on the splinter she stumps her
toe against before she can lose her
shoe.
There is some consolation, however.

Your DUTY as 4 STUDENT.


Editor the Missourian: The Y. NJ
C. A. has begun its annual campaign
for members. This period always is
a disagreeable time for most students
-disagreeable for the persons doing
the soliciting and also for those being
solicited. 1t is hard to solicit a stu
dent who does not consider the Y. NJ.
C. A. of interest or of benefit to him.
1t is equally hard for student to con-
tribute to something in which he
thinks he is not interested.
Is it true that any University stu
dent is not in some measure benefited?
An activity ticket, the uninterested
student will say, is a good investment,
but the Y. M. C. A. is charity. The Y.
NJ. C. A. however, is a University in
stitution for University students.
Members and non-members are treat
ed alike. The Y. NJ. C. A. Building
is the meeting place of two hundred
student organizations. Many individ-
uals use the privileges of the building.
and many more should do so. Most of
the students who are working their
way through the University. or partly
SO, obtained their employment from
the Y. M. c. A. To say that the Y. NJ.
c. A. is campaigning for members is
a mistake. Really all the students are
members. The building belongs to the
student body.

students of the University, however.
