TOMBSTONE, HEARTHSTONE, STEPPING
STONE, HISTORY OF SL14B FOUND HERE

house. Mr.. Keiser, who was the IA
ther-in-law of W. S. Pratt, Columbia
real estate dealer, lived at RochepOrt
all his life and was buried in Roche
port cemetery. His widow moved to
Columbia and upon her death and her
burial in cemetery here, the body of
her husband was taken from Roche
port and a new stone erected to their
memory. The old stone was probably
cast aside and brought to Columbia on
a rock wagon.
The first transfer of the lot on
which the house was built was to r.
C. Rogers on June II, 1870, by Mr..
and Mrs. J. L. Stephens. Some of the
old-timers of Columbia say the house
was built about the time of the Civil
War, or possibly little later. No one
remembers who built the house. A
new residence has been built on the
lot and the tombstone is now used as
step at the kitchen door.

WE SHOULD SAY NOT

If there is one object on which
Columbians have set their hearts it is
the leveling of the hills along the Old
Trails Road from st. Louis to Kansas
City and the establishment of COlum-
bia as the central stopping point be-
tween these two big Missouri cities.
Should the National Old Trails AS
sociation decide to spend its money
elsewhere and cut Columbia from its
route this city would suffer a sad
blow.
Yet such a possibility is imminent
should Columbia abandon the special
road district, according to local men
who have made a special study of
roads. Giving up our present scien-
tific method for a former antiquated
system which Columbia voters have
once repudiated will cause the Old
Trails Association to believe that Co.
lumbia is going to sleep on the job,
our local road experts say.
There is no fear that Columbia will
forfeit its advantages and the good
opinion of the National Old Trails As
sociation by adopting the old system
which once it was glad to lose.

An Embarrassing Moment.

Three nicely costumed women en-

not the nicely dressed women but
what follows.
The three stood facing the counter
all attention. A few loafers stood
their usual Sunday afternoon "fa-
tigue." One of the women carrying a
muff gave it careless swing. A pack
age fell to the floor and broke. The
women "right-about-faced' and beat
disorderly retreat.
One of the loafers, with a cork

took a deep breath. WHISKY" he
gasped. And there was not a dry
mouth in the house. Who gets the

Now All May Dance.

Editor the Missourian: Why dance.
There are almost as many answers
as there are dancers, and as many
different steps as there are exponents
OF course, there are those of us who
lust like to Dance" but a critical
analysis will reveal that many reasons
are conglomerated into that liking"
If couple, through long practice
or exceptional natural ability, are
more proficient in the terpsichOrean
vagaries than are their fellows, they
are to be found at every available
dance. Why? Because they like to
dance-which is true-but, it must be
confessed, they are not altogether OBJ
livious to the favorable attention they
attract.
There are good dancers and poor
dancers. Good dancers dance because
they always show to advantage. Poor
dancers dance rather than suffer the
Oblivion which enshrouds nom
dancers.
But now comes justification for all
Two prominent physicians, DR.. Will
liam G. Anderson, director of physi-
cal training at Yale, and DIR. Frederick
Bush, tell us that dancing does more
to induce right posture and manners
and red corpuscles and courage than
all the mechanotherapy there is. So
you see, it's true. Dancing, they say,
may be safely recommended for con-
valescents.
Now none of us needs hang back,
for it is quite the style to dance for
ones health. Even the very clumsiest
of us may put his best foot forth,
stalk around in utter abandon and
then establish a social prestige for
himself that will be the envy of all by
remarking to his friends: "Oh, had
the worst toothache yesterday. But
now it is just wonderfully improved.
Isn't it remarkable no one thought of
this idea beforeT-D.

REMODELING A CITY

Cities are not built according Il
well-laid plans. They grow. Tht
growth of a city is like that Of 6
child which has had infantile paraly
sis-crooked and misshapen. Every
addition to it brings in a new design
in city planning. To rebuild and re-
model these is the work of a city
planning committee such as has been
appointed by the City Council of Co
lumbia.
Columbia is fortunate in not being
extremely misshapen. There are no
wide departures from straight streets
and sidewalks, but there are other
things which make the town ugly. If
Columbia is to be a city beautiful,
these must be remedied.
There is always the problem of the
width of streets and sidewalks All
Columbia sidewalks should be of the
same width in the residence districts
and in the business district Then
there is the problem of the upkeep of
paving and sidewalks. Parking comes
in for its share of criticism.
Among the less important but
equally ugly problems to be dealt
with is that of billboards. Many
cities are marred in beauty by un-
slightly advertising boards stuck
wherever possible. Columbia has
few. Then there are the traffic posts
on Broadway, which would hardly go
with a plan to remodel and beautify
Columbia. Downtown hitch lots are
hardly conducive to civic betterment
Thousands of little things lie all
around which only the close observer
can notice.
The city planning committee, if ef-
ficient-and there is no reason why it
should not be-will be a great asset
for Columbia. What better recon-
mendation could any city ask than to
be called the most beautiful city in
Missouri? And there is a possibility
Of extending the territory. Two things
can bring realization of this ambi-
tion-a city planning committee, with
vision, business ability and knowl-
edge of civic improvements, and the
cooperation of the people of Colum-
bia in the work.
