ton Is the branch which seems most
popular with the University student.
Practically all the fraternities OF
the University have service flags for
brothers in the service. The Beta
Theta Pi fraternity was the first to
display one Of these flags. At that
time 1t contained 40 stars, and 3 OF
the men have left since then, making
a total of So men in the service.
Flags appeared soon on other frater-
nifty houses. The Kappa Alpha fra
ternity, with So men in the service,
probably has the largest service flag
of any of the fraternities. The Sigma
Nu fraternity has 43 stars on its
service flag. The Phi Delta Theta fra
ternity has 6S men in the service and
has ordered service flag. which will
be the largest among the fraternities.
The Kappa Sigma fraternity now has
29 stars and will have Al when it has
the complete number represented.
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity now
has % stars on its flag. When the re-
mainder of the stars are put on it will
have 35, one Of which will be for
Frank Mathews, who was killed when
he fell in his airplane at Camp Talia-
ferro, Tex The Sigma Chi fraternity
has 81 stars in its service flag for men
now in the service, who have been in
the chapter within the last three
years only. The Acacia fraternity
has a flag with 13 stars, all repre-
senting men who were in last years
chapter. The Alpha Gamma Rho fra
ternity has IL stars in its flag, and
will have 2 or more to add.
One M. U. Division Has Flag.

JelIied Fish.

11a cups cold faxed fish
2 tablespoons chopped capers
l tablespoon granulated gelatin
2 tablespoons cold water
l cup boiling water
tablespoons lemon juice
Il teaspoon salt.
Mix the fish and capers. Arrange
in a mold. Soak the gelatin in two
of cold water. Add the
boiling water and stir until the gela-
tin dissolves, then add the lemon
juice and salt. Pour this jelly care
fully over the fish and set in a cool
place to harden. Cut into portions
and serve on lettuce with salad

those who have near relatives in ma
tional service.
The design of the flag is universally
the same, though the size and num-
bers of stars vary. Always the border
is broad and red; the field white, and
the stars on this field, blue. The
number of stars can be increased, of
course, as the number in the service
increases. And people are zealously
watchful to put a start on the flag for
every one who has gone from this
home or organization. Everywhere
people are proud of those in the
service and this is one of the ways
in which they show it.
Missouri Union Has Largest.
The largest service flag in Colum-
bia, and so far as can be learned, the
largest in the state. is that which
the Missouri Union flies. 1t contains
stars for the former students and
members of the faculty Of the Uni
versity. At present, S62 stars are on
the flag, but in the light of more
recent information, postcards, letters
or other word from boys in the SER
vice, it is known that there should be
at least 1,15O stars on this flag. While
this an unusually large flag, it is not
so large as many that fly in the East.
There flags are seen, especially
among the large corporations, with
thousands of stars. One such flag has
over 1000 stars. The Missouri Un-
ions flag was made by the girls in the

MISSOURI WALNUT FOR RIFLES

Missouri has furnished men, mines,
minds, mules and millions for the
war and now she is going to furnish
the walnut for the Army rifles.
when Uncle Sam wants anything he
generally gets it," said one of the
women who owned a share in 500
acre tract of walnut timber near Ex-
celsior Springs, and he wanted that
walnut timber. After refusing all
offers for the timber, the owners sold
it to the Chillicothe Gun Stock Com
pany because it was needed for gun
stocks.
This tract of timber is considered
one of the most valuable tracts in
the United States; one tree, alone, is
said to be worth about $4,000. 1t is
six feet through at the base and ex-
tends forty feet before sending out
limb
Not a single trail runs through the
tract, as it belonged to the Howde-
shell sisters, whose family has owned
it since Missouri became a state, and
there was a feeling in the family that
nothing should be disturbed. The
James gang is supposed to have used
the timber as a hiding place.
The Wabash railroad is putting in
a switch to take away the logs which
woodmen are now cutting, but it is
necessary to make roads through to
get the logs to the track. When
Uncle Sam wants anything he gets it,
and Missouri has lots of things he
wants.

MANY SERVICE FLAGS ON
DISPLAY IN THE CITY NOW

A flag that was unknown in the
United States before last spring is
now seen everywhere. 1t is the

entrance into the war. From clubs,

stores, omobiles-everywher peo-
