First year students at the Univer-
sity of Missouri have the distinct al
vantage of free medical examination
and advice. This is merely another
phase of the University's service to
the people of the state. The institu-
tion aspires to the better equipment
of men and women not only intel
lectually but physically as we'll.
Aside from the evident advantage of
such policy to the individual the
benefits extend also to the University
community in general By such an
examination as is given here. students
are protected from needless exposure
to communicable diseases and the
health of the whole student body is
thereby promoted. AS the facilities
of the University justify, the examina-
tion might with profit be extended 10
the whole student body.

THE NEW BOOKS
~The Prairie Wife,

That a roof, a bed and fire-and
what is there after that-are the only
material requirements of a seal cf
happiness is the sentiment of the prai-
rie wife, the chief character in Arthur
Stringer's book of the same name, just
published. For around the roof, the
bed and the fire may be made home.
In the story the openness, simplicity
and naturalness of the Canadian prai-
rie life is disclosed in the letters OF
the prairie wife to her friend. Lett
without money after Chilean revolu-
ton, she chooses between a member
of the nobility and a red-blooded man
and settles down with Dinkie Dunk on
the prairie. They make a real home
of their shack. Duncan risks all his
prospects on wheat raising. Econo-
MIXING with his money, he puts in a
crop from which, of course, he reaps
a good harvest
During this time, the prairie wife
lives; she does not merely exist. Busy
with the things she must do, she has
little time to long for those things she
can not have. With her husband she
laughs, loves, quarrels, makes up and
plans. The "other man" is intimated,
but does not enter, for in this two-by-
four cabin, there is no room for the
triangle. Pleased with her husband.
her boy, the respect of the Swedish
hands" and the prospects of success
for their plans, the prairie wife looks
distrustfully on the new life that is
to be brought in by the railroad, the
big, new house, the town that springs
up and money, and wonders if it will
be as pleasant as the old
The story is written as series Of
letters. 1t is character study rath-
er than a narrative. The contrast of
the prairie life with that of the city
is clearly shown.

ABOUT THAT BILLION

Whether the United States bankers
lend the Anglo-French commission the
proposed billion dollars will make Ii. .
tie difference on the business of the
country in relation to the Allied ma
tions The United States must be the
creditor of these nations for the next
few years.
If exports to the Allied countries
from the United States are as great
after as before the harvest of this year
is marketed, the Allies will buy here
almost two billion dollars worth more
than they SELL There will be no way
10 pay much of this balance Most of
the American securities held in Eu
rope have been returned. England
and France have a gold reserve of
about three and a half billion. They
can not spare that. as a large supe--
structure Of credit depends upon it.
The only way they can pay for the
purchases on the American market is
by credit bills.
There must be debt to the United
States of three-quarters of a billion
at the end of the year when all avail
able securities are returned and the
gold that can be spared is sent. The
'nited States must supply this amount
of credit of lend money to pay for it.
The markets must be cleared to pre-
vent a congestion here. 1t would be
better for the nation to sell billion
dollars worth and get no pay for il
than to go through business stagna-
ton for five years
The billion dollar credit is not an
bonded debt of the railroads of the
c: ntry is seven times as much. The
debt on roads now in the hands of re-
ceiyers amount to one and three quar-
ters billion. The debt of England and
France. with the chance of war, is bet
te- than most of these railroad bonds.
France paid a billion after 1870 and
now is none the worse for it. Eng
land can not afford to repudiate
debt, however large.
The Allies need the American traae,
the United States needs their bids on
the market Goods must be sold to
keep up prices. They may be paid for
by credit or by a loan. The United
States can take her choice

AUTHORITIES

1t has become a common practice of
late years for men who have achieved
success or fame in some field to volun-
teer their opinion on every conceiva-
BILE subject under the sun and to en-
dow their pronouncement with the air
of authority to which they are only en-
titled in their special field. And what
is worse, the public, with a most la
mentable lack of discrimination, often
accepts these pronouncements as au-
thoritative.
When a man invents an epoch-mak-
ing electrical appliance, he is not
thereby equipped to pass judgment on
the merits of new municipal char
ter anymore than the ordinary citizen.
Likewise a prominent lawyer is ut
terly unfit to give expert advice Oil
the respective merits of two rival
schools of medicine. Assertions of in
ternational law are to be dealt with
by those who have devoted their lives
to it rather than by men, who, no mat
ter how famous they may be, are not
versed in the intricacies of a subject

ELVES Worth Living"

ITO raise a great man you must
first raise great mother"
LET us call our house-work, home
work; for homework is privilege, not
drudgery. A home-maker must be a
practical dietician, an instructor and
inspirer of youth, a competent ac-
count, a person Of wisdom, invention
and sound sense, a wise business man
ager in securing full value for money,
time and effort expended and a just
employer of labor. Could mothers ask
for broader field? Rather let them
ask who is sufficient for these
things,?"
Many ennobling thoughts for women
have been incorporated by Mrs. Emily
Clough Peabody in her Lives Worth
Living"
1T is,' she writes, "a collection Of
studies of women, biblical and modern,
especially adapted to groups of women
in churches and clubs. 1t was written
in the belief that God is the God of
all ages and lands and that all human
Experiences have lessons to teach those
who have eyes to perceive them
"We are all influenced" says the
author, more by living, concrete mod
els than by abstract principles of vir-
tue, by the contagion of personality
which draws a little soul as a plan
net is drawn in its orbit round the sun.
"In these days when one hears so
much about the rights of women. it
seems fitting to recall some of the
privileges and opportunities that have
always been hers
I'm the hope that the significance Of
lives that were worth living may lead
others into noble and ennobling serv-
ice, these lessons offer their message
to the young women who shall study
them"
The story of Mary of Bethany and
her friendship for the Man of Sorrows
gives beautiful and concrete lesson
of womans opportunity as a friend.

Ruth, the sweet immigrant from the

The Open Column
Science versus Sense.

Editor the Missourian:-Have you
ever noticed how the two breadlines
in the Cafeteria arrange themselves
at every meal? The one nearest the
entrance is always about twice as
long as the one farther away. And it
is always composed of the same peo-
pie, who certainly reflect credit on
their old geometry teachers by their
thorough application of the principle
that "a straight line is the shortest
distance between two points" But
would not the application of a little
less science and of little more sense
expedite matters a bit at those criti-
cal moments when the demands of
the stomach become imperative. r.

The Cowboy Suit.

One of the made in America fash
ions is the cowboy costume which en-
bodies American traditions, yet Is so
distinctly modish and up to date that
young women are adopting it with en-
thusiasm.
One Of these cowboy costumes worn
at a southern resort has a short skirt
OF pussy willow silk In narrow red and
white peppermint" stripes There are
two groups of three rows Of red velvet
ribbon around the skirt, the velvet be-
ing the same width as the stripes. Lit
tie bowknots are placed on the skirt at
intervals between the groups of ribbon
trimming.
A jacket of red pussy willow silk
shows a waistcoat of white lace and
sleeves of red and white striped silk.
Below the short skirt will appear but
toned boots of patent leather, with
light gray tops, and red silk stockings
will match the red silk jacket.
