tussel, the women have gone out to
hustle. They run the trains and fill
the shops and cut the butchers steaks
and chops. They daily wash the chill
dren's faces and take their absent
husbands places as factory hands po-
lice or cooks or adding up the office
books. They dig in gardens and in
mines and paint the advertising signs.
They get the family's daily meals and
yet have time for business deals. They
work at every useful need that indus
try or commerce breed, and, while
their husbands, brothers.. sons are
loading up the six-inch guns, they
keep as busy as they can repairing
damage done by man.
So when, at finish of the war, the
men come marching home once more,
they may experience a shock when at
the door they gaily knock to find
since they've been OFF to roam there's
no place left for them but home and
realize with deadly fear that all the
rest is woman's sphere.

Protection and Paddles.

Editor the Missourian: Taking the
initiative in the work of protecting
the beauty of the West Campus, the
students in the School of Engineering
have assumed the responsibility of
keeping all trespassers off the grass.
The idea is certainly good one, and
we have no fault to find with it, if it
were applied in an efficient manner
In the way in which they have en-
forced the mo Tespassing" decree,
however, the engineers are certainly
at fault
One day last week, a careless stu
dent cut across one corner of the cam
pus, in his anxiety to arrive at class
on time. Result: several almost in
discernable footprints on the soil of
the campus. Hardly had the student
reached the cement walk before forty
or fifty engineering students seized
him, and made him prepare to run the
gauntlet. Immediately the students
formed line-but did they form this
line on the cement walk? Oh no! In
joyous anticipation, fifty of them hur-
ried out over the grass of the cam
pus, dug their heels firmly in the mud
and set themselves for the coming
frolic. When the victim had been
duly padded, the victorious host with
drew. Result: about three hundred
and twenty footprints visible on the
soil, where there had been but two
before.
All of which makes us wonder
whether the engineering students are

JAPAN is OUR FRIEND

The United States and Japan are on
peaceful terms. Japan owes too much
to the United States Government to
be otherwise. Before 1854 its COM
mercial doors were barred to the rest
of the world. The United States
opened them. Since then Japan has
risen to be one of the foremost of the
world's powers.
4fhe lingo" is forever asserting
himself. If he doesn't want to fight
Germany-or Mexico-he wants to
lay the gauntlet down for far-off ia
pan. He thinks Japan is anxious to
fight.
The far eastern kingdom is in
debted to us. Its awakening in the
last fifty years has only added to its
appreciation of what the United
States has done. Prestige has been
added to its power as we'll as to that
of the United States.
The United States has done more
for Japan: 1t was due to the initi-
ative of former President Roosevelt
that the Russo-Japanese war was
brought to an end. And the end fa-
vored Japan. From that period to
the present, in spite of real difficult
ties due to our desire to restrict the
immigration of Chinese and Japa-
nese and the sensitiveness of their
governments to observation-disclosures
difficulties less real arising from the
fear of the yellow peril-friendly re-
lations have been maintained with
Japan. No one can doubt that the
United States has acquired a perma-
nent interest in the Far East and that
American capital and enterprise are
sharing in the awakening of that con-
tinent Japan does not regard our en-
terprise as an encroachment.

A REAL DANIEL BOONE TAVERN


Let us make the Daniel Boone Tav-
ern as really distinctive as its name.
Given the proper stimulus, sus-
tanned by sufficient impetus, any city
could erect such a hotel as will be
the Daniel Boone Tavern, as far as its
structure and appointments are con-
cerned. But Columbia is the only
city that can appropriately erect a
Daniel Boone Tavern.
1t is sought, in the name, to epito-
mize the historic character who so
enriched the county that bears his
name. Columbia is to be censured If
her new hotel carries but an empty
title-a misnomer. An historic frieze
for the exterior and suitable mural
decorations throughout the interior
would harmoniously bridge the gap
of time and would lend an atmosphere
of distinctive sincerity to Columbia's
latest and proudest achievement.

pages.
Many years ago the house was built

and Mrs. Murdoch were for many
years without baby.
One day Mrs. Murdoch suggested
perhaps the stork lived in a constant
state of disappointment because there
was no chimney in the Murdoch house
down which, the baby might be drop

within a few days a huge chimney
rose. Before another wear had role.
