SIMPLE PREPAREDNESS

Some contend that the present
school system brings eye-straln, and
hence eyeglasses. Others agree
that it only brings better superyis-
ion and attention to defects before
ignored.
Whichever contention is true, the
child is getting more attention than
he formerly had Not only Is he
guarded against infection from couta-
gious diseases, but his eyes, ears, nose
and throat are inspected from time to
time. And the teeth, too long con-
sidered as "abie TO take care of them
selves" and likely to ache some time
or other" are considered important In
their relation 10 the general physical
and mental makeup of the child.
Dental drill is not uncommon in the
larger schools. Theory and practice
exist in lectures and directions and
supervision in the use of the brush
Chicago, Philadelphia, st. Paul, Kan
sas City, Los Angeles and a dozen or
more smaller cities include dental in
struction in their curricula.

SUMNER UNION SERVICES START
The Rev. W. W. Elwang breaches on
"PatriOtiSm~ mt First Meeting.

The first of the summer series Of
Sunday evening union services for the
Columbia Protestant churches was
held last evening at the First Chris
tian Church. The auditorium was fill
ed with members of the Methodist,
Presbyterian, Baptist and Christian
churches.
Union services every Sunday even
ing during the summer months have
been held for several years. The sery-
ices will continue until the opening Of
the University winter term in Sep
tember. Next Sunday evening the
meeting will be held at the Broadway
Methodist Church. The Rev. NJ. A.
Hart of the Christian Church will
preach.
The sermon last evening was de-
livered by the Rev. w. W. Elwang of
the Presbyterian Church who spoke
on PATRIOTISM"
"The fact. that people are across the
sea and are different from us in
| nationality is no reason why we
should hate them" said Mr.. Elwang.
patriotism should always be gOven-
ed by the law of righteousness. My
country. right or wrong is an immoral
motto. What we call patriotism must
submit to the authority of a higher
| law; it must submit itself to inter asta
| higher than itself. Every nation has
duties that reach beyond its borders.
I And the United States has been blind
| to its far-reaching obligations. Al
though we refuse to see this higher
! law of brotherhood. it is still there.
patriotism should always be limit
ed by the duty of Christian concilia-
alton. In our relations with our fel-
| lows we should be as unobtrusive as
possible. Why not apply the same rule
of good manners in our international
relations? | am not ashamed to dreatI
| that some day in the near future hu-
manity will be able to live in concord
and peace. Every Christian man and
woman should hate war and love
peace"

ORR NATIONAL ROAD

There is one good roads monument
which is scarcely known west Of the
Mississippi, even in Missouri, which
was included in the general plan. 1t
happened like this:
Before the time Of the railroad, the
Government planned great road
from the Potomac to the Mississippi,
to open up the West, which was as
much a wonder then as the Grand
Canyon still is. The road was an en-
gineering triumph; its massive bridges
and solid roadbed are still in use.
But the road was never completed.
The railroads came The necessity
for the road decreased. The last ap-
preparation was in 1914 and was for
a survey to jefferson City. The Gov
ernment spent $1,000 600 and did not
make expenses, but it was worth that,
for it helped make the West Thous-
ands of pioneers and millions OF dol
lars went by il, taking with them the
strength of closer union with the rest
of the country.

KING PRACTICES WAR ECONOMY
Alcoholic Beverages Barred and Royal
Motor Cars Seldom Used.

by United Press.
LONDON, May 20 (by maiD War
economy is being rigidly practiced in
the royal household at Windsor Cas-
tie.
&c save petrol, the coyal motor cars
are now seldom Ised. The queen
usually rides behind her team of
grays, while Princess Mary travels
horseback. No alcohol is used in the
castle, either by the Kings family or
his servants. Cider-cup is the strong
est drink served; lemonade, orange
ade and barley water are the custom
ary drinks.
The king also mas given up prOvels'
eggs. one of his favOrite dishes. and
eats pheasantS' eggs instead. As
shooting has been abandoned both at
Windsor and Sandrinham, the eating
of pheasants' eggs saves the food
needed to rear young Lirds, and also
lessons the damage to wheatfields
from the game. Many pheasants'
eggs are sent daily to the army hos
pitfalls from the royal preserves.

RECLiIMING 4 DESERT

The United States Government has
completed its fifth great reclamation
project, a great dam at Elephant
Butte, n. NJ. In ordinary times this
achie~ement would have been "a first
page story" in the newspapers. Com
ing as it did in these days of interna>
tional complications, it received scant
notice.
The dam blocks the Rio Grandc
River and forms the greatest storage
reserve in the world. 1t will water
$4,000 acres Of land in New Mexi-
co, Texas and Mexico. The darn is
3lS feet high and l,57I feet long. 1t
provides roadway across the canyon
10 feet wide and is 235 feet wide at
its base. The reservoir will hold 1l5,-
O0O,0O0,O00 cubic feet OF water, which,
reclamation experts say, would cover
the entire state OF Delaware to a depth
of two feet.
Before beginning the construction
of the dam the Government laid out a
town equipped with modern conven-
iences-electrie lights, sewerage,
stores, schools, hospital, hotel and
a theater. \ railroad was construct
ed through thirteen miles of rough
country TO connect the town with a
main line railroad The town is
governed by Federal engineers.
The completion of this dam is an
other great American engineering
achievement. Our Government is do
ing a wonderful work in reclaiming
the country which has been but will
soon cease 10 be known as The Great
American Desert" making millions
Of unprodUctive acres productive. Re
Election on this great achievement for
moment is refreshil lg in the midst

CHICAGO. June Chicago started
TODAY to make good on the prediction
that for the next week it will be the
noisiest spot in the wOrld-unless II
be Verdun. Certainly it will be the
SPOT where more words are spilled
than anywhere else.
All of which is by way of preface to
the fact that the convention crowds
began arriving today. They came
chaperoned by bands, megaphOned as
sistants. singers and just plain noise
makers.
by Wednesday, Chicago will be
swollen with people to nearly twice
its normal size.
At Least $4,000 Must Come.
There are $50 delegates to the Re
publican National Convention to ar
rive. $50 alternates to the same. NEARLY
900 delegates and alternates to the
Progressive National Convention, 2O,-
600 women workers for the ballot,
mostly out-Of-town boosters, to say
nothing of just plain spectators to the
various affairs.
Already the lobbies of ChicagO's S
loop hotels seem chOked with hu-
manity as they did at the height of
the Republican convention sessions
four years ago.
All the hotels. incidentally, began
today removing every bit of furniture
from their Hobbies.
No flower pots, vases or chairs
will clutter up space where enthusiasts
may gossip nor be near at hand for
weapons case arguments wax too hot.
Can't Fall i'm This Fountain
One well-known hotel, which sports
a fountain i'm the middle of one of its
dining rooms, began today to inclose
this spot of water. 1t is precautiOn
which proved successful four years
