Superstitious Mexieans.

In former times superstition prac-
tically controlled the daily lives of the
masses of the people of Mexico. To
large extent this is still true. Many
interesting things are brought to light
by a study of the beliefs and prac-
tees of the ancient Mexicans. If a
person came across grains of corn
which had fallen to the ground he was
obliged to pick them up, for he who
did not do so offended the corn, and it
complained about him to God, saying ::
"Lord, punish this person who saw me

Improved Soldering Process.

4 form of the Schoop metal-spraying
process is claimed TO be effective in
soldering. The soldering pistol does
not require the compressed air jet, as
the fuel-gas used is under pressure
and gives the flame sufficient driving
force to spread the solder over the
surfaces to be soldered. A small driv-
ing mechanism feeds the wire solder
continuously into the flame. The
method is convenient, rapid and mex
pensive and is free from the tedious
and disagreeable features of soldering
by hand.

-Diet and HEALTH.

Diet and Health, with Key TO the
Galleries" by DR.. Lulu Hunt Peters, is
a practical, commonsense volume OF
boiled-down information bristling with
cleverness.
Physical efficiency is patriotic duty

Peters has treated her subject in a pop
ular and diyerting fashion, the book
is thoroughly scientific. Fat folk will
contract and thin folk will expand by
following its goodhumored advice

says, lit is a crime to hoard food, yet
there are hundreds of thousands of in
dividuals all over America who are

stored away in their own anatomy"

FLY 4 FLAG

The Chamber of Commerce of st.
Louis is conducting a campaign for a
more generous display of the Ameri-
can Flag. 1t has issued a circular
which urges:
Please display an American Flag
one that is not torn nor badly sOiled-
every day, both at your place OF busi-
ness and at your house. Let US stop
this business OF having strangers come
here and comment on the scarcity Of
flags displayed
Porto Rican cities display the Ameri-
can Flag more extensively than do
many cities OF continental United
States. Putting up flag does not kill
any Germans, but its psychological ef
feet at home will be beneficial.
Especially when the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign opens in another week,
We are urged 10 display flags.
Let's paint Columbia red-also white
and blue.

RUNNING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

Work at the University of Missouri
for the fall session is now well under
way, while at other universities regis
tration is just taking place or will not
take place until the first of October
Glasses are running smoothly here and
some have advanced far enough al
ready for several quizzes.
The three-term plan for a war
schedule is serving its purpose. The
men who enroll here get the extra
weeks of education before they are
called into national service. In pre-
war days the old semester plan may
have been satisfactory enough; but
now when the time for college work
for thousands of youths within or ap-
preaching the draft age is so short,
every days counts.
The students of the University of
Missouri may say with truth that they
have found three valuable weeks with
little or no inconvenience to them
selves.

DON'T WASTE PAPER

If you want paper, save it. II you
don't save it, you don't need it. If you
don't need it, someone else does
The paper committee OF the Ameri-
can Newspaper Publishers Association
in conjunction with the War Indus
tries Board, is asking that savings of
all kinds of paper be made to meet
present conditions. The committee
urges everyone to use paper only
where absolutely necessary; to use
cheaper grades and fewer cOlOrs made
by chemical formulas, thus saving both
coal and chemicals; and to save old
papers of all kinds for remaking into
other papers and boards.
The average person is not aware that
over 80 per cent of all paper used for
shell wrapping in munition factories
is manufactured from old papers. In
stead of using today's newspaper for
starting the kitchen fire, why not get
some small wood chips, or "fantail''
your kindling wood, and send your
paper TO the commission merchant,
who will see to it that it is properly
used.
This appeal is of especial value to
Columbia because of the large num-
Der of schools here. All public school
children have mathematics of som.
sort on their courses of study, the stu
dents of the coaching school do also,
the majority of high school pupils take
some form of the science and nine out
of ten men students in the University,
who expect TO enter the S. A T C.,
are taking mathematics.
Let us all get out the old-fashioned
slate to work out our problems on and
not waste a dozen sheets of paper be-
fore getting the correct solution.
Paper is as essential in helping win
the war as flour and sugar 1t is
through newspapers. magazines and
books that we read of our boys sue
cesses and setbacks. 1t is by the aid
of our publications that we keep down
enemy propaganda. II is by the aid Of
paper that business is transacted, that
children are educated, and it will be
on paper that the peace treaty for ever
lasting democracy will be signed
