NEEDED AT HOME

IF for every hundred young men
who have offered their lives for Cana
da during this war, We could find just
one man who would offer his time
and energies for Canada, what a diff
ferent public life we would see in this
country says the Montreal Daily
Star.
In the rush of war and the over
flow of patriotism we are prone to
think that the only way a man can
serve his country is by fighting in the
trenches 1t is just as important that
some of the public-spirited men who
also possess brains should stay at
home to carry on the affairs of the
Government. Business must move for
ward, too.
Supplies are needed by the soldiers,
so it is necessary that men stay be-
hind to carry on the manufacture and
distribution of these supplies. They
are serving their country just as faith
fully as are the men at the machine

TWO GOOD MEASURES

The City Council has taken steps
toward ending two of Columbias
grievances in a manner that shows
civic interest and business manage
ment.
The resolution that was passed fav-
oring pavement for West Broadway
is a welcome message to autoists, car
riage drivers and pedestrians and
should have no opposition from the
property holders interested This bit
of street pavement, small in itself,
will complete the local link in the
cross-state highway.
The question of tree mutilation, a
more difficult matter to settle, was
handled in a manner that should pro-
vide against future grievances. A
permanent city planning committee
and persons trained in the care of
trees to protect both light wires and
shade trees should be a safe guaran-
tee if all cooperate as the committee
recommends.

HARD TO GET Guns AND SHELLS
Rise OF 20 Per Cent In Price May
Hinder Fall Shooting.

Though it is early to begin replen-
ishing munitions for fall shooting, the
rapid advance in prices on both guns
and shells is in itself a good problem
for close investigation by local sports
men.
In the last few weeks the prices en-
guns and shells have risen. each sus-
tanning a rise of approximately 20
percent All prices are quoted sub
ject to change without notice and it
is held by some of the merchants that
the only safe way to quote a price is to
write into the house
1t is the general opinion among the
merchants that the latest situation
with Mexico has caused the rise in
prices on these articles.

The Open Column


Editor of the Missourian: In reply to
DR.. Herbert ]. Davenport's address
on the Present Trend of Feminism,
allow ME to present the woman's side
of the question.
Perhaps some women are "eacnomic
parasites, dependent, decorative, fill
gree" useless luXuries. Such women
as wives do spend possibly more than
their husbands incomes and waste
their time in idle competitive social
life. But is this the representative
tpye of American wOmanhOOd. or Is
il not rather the idle rich class? Do
YOU Judge a nation by the common
people instead of by the favored few?
The average American woman II aver
age means is one OF the most practical
persons in the world. II would take
keen Yankee 10 cheat her out Of
penny's worth. True. there still are,
and always have been. two distinct
butterfly social climbers and the prac-
tical type. and you can never make
society lady of Doctor DavenpOrt's
description out of the practical girl.
Herein lies the solution of one phase
of the problem. Educate the masculine
sex to be able to judge women correct
". Does the average man prefer the
practical, sinsible type OF woman or
the spoiled, frivolous, "dressy' one?
When tight skirts were in fashion
would a fastidiOus man have walked
down the street with a little, old
fashioned girl in a be-ruffled dress, II
he could have helped it? Who sets the
standard for womens dress? And
who demands that she live up to this
set standard. if she is to be noticed
at all? And then, too, why is it that
a scheming mother of a sickly, musi-
cal or leisureloving girl can always
capture a son-in-law to support her
helpless. dependent daughter merely
by dressing her up in beautiful
clothes?
The girl who makes her own clothes
is not so striking and attractive, so
the average man passes her up so
to speak, for the snowy, swell type,
as he expresses ii. Perhaps the sal
walton of our decaying American ma
tion lies in the return of the men OF
the nation to plain, old-fashioned COM
mon sense instead of allowing them
selves to become mere 'ichattels." as
Doctor Davenport suggested, follow
ing the will-o'-the-wisp of more m3n-
ey for their wives to spend.
There is a majority of sensible wo-
men and plenty of things that need to
be done still in the ideal home, that
the new inventions can never supply,
which will keep her at home living
Just as sane a life as she used 10 in
the precious days OF our fathers, if
only the men of the present day would
demand that type Of woman.

In 1910 the census report gave the
United States a population of 92,O36.-
622, with a territorial area of 3.610.-
500 square miles-not including Alas
ka. The latest available census of
Mexico gives that country a popula-
tion of 13.603.S19 and 1924 square
miles of territory According to
these figures, it may be seen that the
population of the United States is
about seven times that of Mexico.
From the standpoint of fighting eff
cheney, there is a greater difference
between the two nations than the pop
ulation figures would indicate.

AFTER PANAMA-THE RIVERS

The Newlands Bill, introduced into
the Senate this year, provides for the
expenditure OF 6O,OO0.OOO year for
ten years. This money is to be spent
in the control of floods and the pro-
motion of river navigation through
out the country. II is comprehensive
in scope, embracing every watershed
in the United states.
The passage of the bill would mean
the saving Of many lives and millions
of dollars. for the toll OF floods is tre
mendous. Adequate levies and means
of flood control would be constructed
on the Mississippi and other rivers,
thereby protecting a large amount of
property and eliminating the danger
TO human life from this source.
Not only would it save money by
flood prevention, but. it would make
money by deepening river channels
and making them navigable. 1t pro-
vides for a Lakes s-to-the-Gulf water
route. via the Illinois and the Missis-
sippi Rivers. the building of railroad
terminals and the cooperation be-
tween the railroad and the water
transportation companies.

The New Books
$50 Forth ana Find"

Go Forth and Find" by Edward S.
Moffat. is a brilliant story taking its
theme from the social unrest among
women upon whom the butterfly exist
ence of social life has begun to pail.
The heroine, a Philadelphia patrician
to the manor born, leaves quiet Ritten-
house Square to throw herself hear;
and soul into the maelstrom of the
millions who toll for their daily bread
in work-a-day New York. There we
follow her through her adventures,
her trials, her disappointments, new
pleasures gained and new ambitions
realized: and we rejoice with her when
at the end of her quest, she finds full
measure of the happiness she has gone
forth to seek. A fascinating story Of
romantic love furnishes the "leitmotif"
which carries us through the little-eX-
plored but intensely interesting mil
ieus Of New York middleclass life at
work and at play.
