AND PSYCHOLOGY
BY III. Nj.

By H. Nj.
Have you ever been in a southern
cline where countless men, women
and children have never seen snow
People there are laughing and happy
when they don't work in factories
and love music. In a cline like
that one Is able to buy gorgeous
roses for Is cents q dozen.
On the outskirts Of q big city in a
region like this, one finds many
truck gardens, owned and worked by
Italians. They work from early morn
until late in the evening. After their
nightly meal they gather on the
front porch. laugh, talk, sing, dance
and play the ACCORDION. There this
instrument reigns su RENE. Simple
italian lullabys, folk songs, patriotic
airs are played. But it il to the
grand opera that these people render
homage. No mere overtures are
played here. The whole Of III Tro-
vatore," Lucia" are played, with
fervor and feeling and appreciation.
Played without mistake by musi-
clans who can't read ole note from
another.

Did it affect that audience? No,
positively no, it went right over their

PASSION PLAY PER-

LECTURE HERE

Fraulien Marie Mayer, who took
the part of Mary Magdalene in the
famous passion Play of 0beram-
mergau when last presented by the
people of that village in 1910, will
give an illustrated lecture on "The
Message of Oberammergau" in the
Central high school auditorium We'd
nesday evening, Nov. IS, under aus
pieces of the Business and Professional
Women's club.
Oberammergau, the scene Of the
play, is a village of Bavaria, Germany,
and has become renowned by the pre-
sentation of this passion Pday' every
ten years, to which thousands of Wis
itors floc.s.
This dramatic representation Of the
life of Christ took it's rise from VOW
made by the Inhabitants in 1888, in
the hope of staying plague then
raging. The performances take place
on the Sundays of summer in a large,
open-air .theater holding 5000 per-
sons. Each perfo nance lasts about
nine hours, with. "a short intermission
at noon: "Eachsscene from the history
Of Christ is prefaced by tab1eau Of
typical import from the Old Testa-
ment. The villagers regard the "Pas-
sion Play" as a solemn act of religious
worship and the. performances are
characterized by the greatest rever-
ence. The principal parts are usually

NEWSPAPER "FEATURES"

Judging from the contents of some of
our big city daily newspapers, the edi-
tors seem to think that in addition to
giving news and comment they must
also stage a vaudeville show. Some of
the features they are infiicting on their
readers are plain Junk" of the worst
sort. Their defense usually is that
they are printing what the people want
to read. If they really believe it, what
a poor opinion they have of the pub
lie tastes,
William II. Nelson of The Kansas
City Star used to say that the people
didn't always know what they wanted
to read He believed they would read
worth while" material if it was given
to them. He established a literary de-
partment on the Star which has be-
COlllp OIt Ol ll.t DtSl ltdluItS VI llt
paper. The members of the literary
staff read and clip the best from books,
magazines and newspapers for re-
printing in the Star. The importance
of this feature cannot be overestimat-
ed most people nowadays seldom have
time 20 read anything but newspapers.
Recently the Star reprinted the "Au-
photography of Benjamin Franklin" in
a single issue. which took several
pages of space. Was it read? Judg-
ing from the many compliments the
paper has received from readers, it
really was read. The experiment
proved that the public will read some
thing worth while if it is given to
them.

WHY An UNUSUAL FRUGALITi!

Has Congress become frugal OF a
sudden?
II actually hesitates to appropriate
funds to reprint the report OF the
Commission on Industrial Relations,
but the lavish printing OF other and
less important documents continues
undisturbed.
Perhaps Congress thinks the facts
unearthed by the commission last
year had best be forgotten. 1t GER
tainly does not reflect glory on our
country that over one-half of the wage
earners' families live below the stand
ard of decent subsistence and one
third are in abject poverty. Many OF
the discoveries, it will be remembered,
were not at all complimentary to our
captains of industry"
The Committee on Industrial Rela-
tions. an independent organization
succeeding the commission (Which eX-
pired by statute in August. 1919, does
not intend to be a silent mOurner at
the proposed funeral of the report
The committee believes political
democracy is dependent on industrial
democracy 1t believes an understand
ing of industrial conditions is neces-
sary to the perpetuation of industrial
democracy. SO it has started ylgor-
Gus campaign to secure the reprinting
of the report.
Frank p. Walsh, who was chairman
of the commission. holds the same po-
sition on the committee. With Walsh
at its head. the organization will be
sure to put up a stiff fight.

SAYS FRENCH HEARD
WAR NEWS CALMLY
LOUIS Selbert Tells of His Ex-
periences in Paris in
Summer of 1914.
HE RETURNS TO Nj. L.
Finds Attitude of Allies Is
Kindly Toward Germans
but Bitter to Kaiser.

Louis Selbert. who has Just re-
turned to the University as instruct
or in Romance languages, was Ill
Paris during the sumner OF 1914, Wleh
war was declared. Mr. Selbert taught
in the University from 1912 to 1914
Since that time he has been an in
structor in Romance languages at
Sheffield Scientific School of Yale
University.
I'VE have the impression said Mr..
Selbert. that the French people are
very eXcita0lc and lose their heads
easily. They have a dare-deviltry and
mnet losity that will carry them for
ward. but they are rot fOolhariy
When it was decided that France
should &C to war, the French began
mobilization in calm, buslness-llke
manner. There Was less excitement
on the stree and bOulcyards of Paris
than there was in the United States
at the time of the Spanish-American
War. They realized that it was life
or death struggle and the prepara-
tions must be made Systematically.
The foreigners were more excited
than the Tarisians. They marched
through the streets sil girg. shouting
and waving banners and French flags.
Feeling Not Against Germans"
"In spite of the disturbance OF II.
war. foreigners were treated COur-
teously and made comfortable. The
Germans were allowed two days TO
leave the city. but they were not mo-
I Tested: III fact. many acts Of kindness
were shown them. The feeling of the
French in this war is not against the
German people, but against the
Kaiser and the German form of gov
ernment"
The NJ. L. instructor sailed for
America on a French liner and re
fuses to admit that the ship was at
tackled by a submarine or was the vic
tim of an air raid. He did, however,
have to sleep on the upper deck OF
the steamer in his sweater and over
coat and was awakened about ;
o'clock several mornings by dash OF
water not from a wave but from a
hose that was used to wash the deck.
While in Paris. he was with Prof.
G. A. Underwood, assistant professor
of Romance languages at Smith Col
lege. Northampton, Mass, formerly
an instructor in Romance languages
at Missouri during the time Mr. Sci
bert was here.
French Have Faith In Air Fleet.
In speaking of the air warfare. Mr..
Selbert said that the French have al
ways had great faith in the areOplane
and have an air fleet worked out,
heavy craft for raids and light, fleet
ones for scout duty.
After the German retreat from
Paris. ten bustS of the German en-
perOr We're discovered in the studio
of a German sculptor in Paris. They
were TO have been used in decorating
the city when the Germans took pos
session. The likenesses of the Kaiser
We're put to other uses.
Discussing the economic condition
of France. Mr.. Selbert said that every
preparation was made at the open
ing of the war to care for the people
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1916-02-14

and that the paupers Jared better
than in times of peace because they
were cared for by the relief stations.
The real economic condition of any of
the warning countries, however,, is
known probably by only few per-
sons.
French Baroness i'm the War.
One of the interesting characters
of the war of whom Mr.. Selbert spoke
was the Baroness Huard, who lives
northeast of Paris When the Ger
mans were on their way to take Paris.
the baroness was forced to retreat
before them for seven days and served
the army during the retreat. At one
village. she assisted a surgeon in his
operations, though she had had no
hospital training. At another she
was asked by young soldier to get
him two raZors. This youth informed
her that he had two of everything
two siX-shOOters, two carbines and two
daggers and must have two razors to
complete his arsenal" He was from
the country" When asked where
the country" was. he said Texas"
