The Open Column
Who Named These Streets!

Editor the Missourian:-I would
like to ask if there was any partic-
ular rhyme or reason" in the nam
ing of some of Columbia's streets.
For instance, one particular street in
the city six blocks long. is known for
the first three blocks as Anthony
street; for the other three it is posted
as Cauthorn street Two blocks east of
College avenue, We find a street for
two blocks known as William street;
for the next three blocks it is known
as Couzins street, and for the next
four blocks it is known as Hockaday
street. Of course it may be the Gus
tom to name every three or four
blocks on particular streets for old
time residents, but the condition is
rather confusing to the uninitiated

That Reading Room!

Editor the Missourian: When the new
library was opened for use, part of the
old reading room in Academic Hall
was set aside for the use of Arts and
Science students. How has the plan
worked?
The other morning, at IL O'clock,
every chair in the reading room was oc-
cupied. There was line waiting for
reserve books clear across the front
of the desk and around into the cor
ridor. In fact, the doorway was closed
to others coming in.
1t looks like remedy could be
found for this. While we are thankful
for all favors, one of which the read

Sixteen students of the University
employed by the Hamilton-BrOwn
Shoe Factory are making good. They
always do. The student who comes
here in spite of financial hindrances
is the type that always makes good.
He would succeed anywhere. There
is only one way young man can GER
tainly rise above his prospects, can
break the line of caste. That is by ed
ucation. He who is determined, in
spite of hard work for existence, to get
that, will make good wherever he is
placed.

DOING WHAT WE KNOW

The average duration of life is rap
idly increasing. The rate of increase
in Europe during the latter half OF
the 10Th century was at the rate of
about IL years a century, and in Ger
many, where medical and sanitary
science have reached their highest de-
velopment, it crawled up to 81. De-
sirable indeed, yet this big increase
prevailing throughout the civilized
world wherever the gospels of santa
tion and preventive medicine have
carried their message could be brought
up by leaps and bounds if we would
only take the trouble to pat into ex-
ecution what we know to be good.
In the case of typhoid fever it is
known that immunity can be estab-
discomfort almost negligible, yet COM
paratively few of US overcome the
prejudice or inertia in the way of our
safeguarding ourselves. 1t is very
fine thing, We all admit, that typhoid
fever has been stamped out of the
United States army by sanitation and
vaccination. We grow big-eyed and
little sobby over the stories of the
doctors who sacrificed their valuable
lives to the finding of causes and
cures But it is long way to Par
ker Memorial Hospital, our work is
arduous and our social duties pres
sing.
Every school child knows that the
germs of communicable maladies lurk
in the drinking cup, on the pencil
point and in the dusty highways 1t

habit of thinking on pencil point is
more easily INDUCED than broken and
father is too busy to see that the high
ways are properly oiled and cared for.
So too Little James gets his milk
now and then in a bottle that has not
been made sterile, even though We
know that the deadly germ of dysen-
terry may be lurking On the rim OF
course it couldn't happen to Little
James and we'll take a chance-just
for tonight. But the germ is active
and James is tired and now he is rails

So we flirt with pneumonia and we
kiss our friend with tonsilitis because

fire with the kerosene, and we point

know to be wise.
