THE NEW DRAFT REGULATIONS.

Simplifcation, coordination and establishment
of its operation upon basis that would not upset
the industrial fabric of the nation too greatly,
have appeared to be essential to the conduct of
the selective CONSUMPTION act, to all those who
have kept in fairly close touch with its operation
in the first call, now nearly completed. So the
new regulations announced this week by the war
department, under which it is proposed to classify
according to industrial or agricultural conditions
and circumstances of dependency all the young
men OF the country of military age and so give
them an opportunity to adjust their affairs, is
welcome as well as necessary development
Furthermore the chances to "beat the game"
will be still further minimized through the new
system, which will give the local and district

Not so very long ago we used to hear the 'cop-
perheads' say it might be all right for our boys
to fight at home but the country ought not to send
them across the water to France. Most of us
realize now that it's better for us that the fighting
is going on there, instead of here One of the

BUSINESS SLACKERS

The Missouri State Supreme Court
has ordered an investigation into the
affairs of coal corporations of this
state to determine if these companies
have violated the antitrust laws. The
investigation follows allegations that
the eleven companies named in the
case have conspired to fix and control
the market and price of coal in Mis-
souri,; limit and prevent competition
in the handling of coal in the state;
divide territory in the state, and that
they have entered upon an agreement
to fix and regulate the production of
coal in this and other states and 10
prevent and destroy competition in
this industry in Missouri.
If the charges made against these
companies be true, it is indeed a grave
indictment. especially with our coun
try in the throes of war preparations.
The United States government took
drastic steps to bring eastern coal
companies to terms and 400 cor;pa-
nies over the country agreed TO sell
coal hereafter at "a reasonable bIice."
This is no time for slackers. The
business organization that cannot
unite with the government in assur-
ing financial security during the pres
ent crisis is as much a Stacker as the
man without any resources who tries
to evade the draft Like the draft
Stacker, any business organization
that cannot play the role of patriot in
this hour of need should feel the
strong hand of the law and be made
to pay the penalty for its folly.

WOMEN VOLUNTEERS

Nissouri's womanhood has bravely
and willingly answered the call for
registration for war service. Realiz-
ing that they cannot go to the front
as soldiers, they have signified their
Willingness to do whatever the gov
ernment would have them do in as
sisting our standard bearers and in
keeping the national house in order.
The registration of women in Mis-
souri, means that the United States
government now has on file the names
and addresses of hundreds of thou
sands of women who are willing and
ready to do anything from being a
janitress to working in a munitions
factory to assist us in fighting a win
ming war against Prussianism. Even
those who can help by conserving the
nations food supply by careful man
agement at home are on register as
signers of the Hoover pledge.
Russian women have answered the
call of their country by forming a
LEGION of death" and giving up their
lives on the battlefield. The women
of Missouri will not be called upon to
make this sacrifice, but they will
prove themselves true patriots by
joining wholeheartedly into the big
task of making lighter the burdens of
those who must fight the battles of
peace and democracy

PAGEANT STAGED IN
WEST CAMPUS GLEN
Students Represent All Ages
from Dawn of Civilization
to Present Day.
200 MAKE UP CAST
Depicted Political Struggles
of Nations to Gain Lib
erty and Democracy.

Warriors, princesses, imperial Ro
mans, colonial settlers, representa-
| tives of the Allied nations, in fact
people of all ages from the dawn oi
civilization to the present day were
included in the cast of the patriotic
pageant staged by the students OF
the Summer Session under the direc-
ton of Miss Louise Nardin, adviser of
women for the Summer Session, on
the West Campus yesterday after
ternoon. More than 500 citizens and
students were on hand to witness the
presentation.
The pageant was staged in the hol-
low at the northeast corner of the
campus. Surrounded by trees and
foliage, with the campus stream pass
ing along in front of the open-air
stage, the setting added a realistic
touch to the episodes. The never
ending variety of color in the array
of costumes added much to the vivid
ness of the scenes. Two hundred stu
dents took part in the nine episodes
representing the political struggles
of the great nations to gain their lib
erty and the rights of democracy.
Play Divided Into Nine Episodes.
The first episode depicted the rule
of tyranny and force. Episode two
showed the struggle of the Greeks
against the Persians, while episode
three represented the gifts of the
Romans to keep Rome free. Episode
four was a legend of the Swiss ha-
tired of tyranny. with the fifth episode
depicting the struggle of Joan of Arc
for freedom of her countrymen. The
sixth episode showed the signing of
the Magma Charta in England. In
the seventh episode America was por-
trayed in honoring Washington and
Lafayette. The eighth episode de-
picted the spread Of democracy, and
the ninth and final episode showed
the peril of liberty in the present
crisis and the marshalling of the
forces that now stand for democracy
and the freedom of small nations.
The fact that the pageant was given
on the day in which the women of
Missouri were given their first op-
portunity to show their patriotism
by registering for war service made
it especially impressive and added |
much to the success of Patriotic |
Day" in Columbia The event is the |

Session in the University, which
