THE OPEN COLUMN
The Sidewalks.

Editor the Missourian: If there is
one thing that seems neglected in Co.
lumbia, and is so apparent Just now
with the melting of the recent snow,
it is our sidewalks. The property
owners are taxed by the city for up
keep; why not appropriate this money
for the purpose it is intended?
From Locust to Conley on Ninth
street the sidewalks are pitiful Sun
ken places, broken pavements, cracked
pavements, low pavements constitute
almost the entire distance between
those streets mentioned. To emphasize
the seriousness of the condition of
this section of sidewalk, Ninth be-
tween Locust and Conley is one of
the most travelled in Columbia Pc
destrians cannot use Ninth now with
out getting their feet soaked, especial
ly is this true on the east side. Why
The portion of sidewalk from Lowry
to Conley on the east side is in worse
condition than that section referred
to, and it has been in this condition
for longer period of time than has
the other section. 1t is especially low,
and true it is. it will be hard to i'm
prove to any degree of success. To
remedy the condition, it could at
least be leveled, and we are sure this
would help surprisingly.
While no attempt is here made to
question the channel of expenditure
of the city street fund, why not use it
where it belongs and use it now? We
are not attempting, on the other hand,
to question the city's channels of ap-
preparations, but why not set aside
the taxes collected for street upkeep
and improve our walks. They need
it; Columbia needs to. Strangers no
tice such things, which are the baro-
meters of civic pride. A we'll kept
city is the city that makes an impress
sion; the ordinary one is soon for
gotten. W. E. L.

Daily Food Hint

It's becoming a sort of game that
Columbia housewives are playing in
providing attractive substitute dishes
for meatless and wheatless days.
The Hoover game is fascinating one
and large enough for all to play.
Rice and Peanut Loaf.
Add u cupful of uncooked rice to
8 cupfuls of cold water and bring the
water to boil quickly, while stirring
the rice constantly. After the rice
has boiled for a minute or two turn
it into a colander and drain, then
washing it with cold water. Add 1
teaspoonful of salt to the rice, cover
with cupfuls of boiling water, and
cook the rice until tender. Mix to-
gether 1 cupful of peanut butter, 1
egg. lightly beaten, u teaspoonful of
paprika, and "a cupful of sweet milk.
Add this mixture to the cooked rice
and mold into a loaf on a buttered
baking dish. Sprinkle with coarse
cornmeal or cracker crumbs mixed
with 2 tablespoonfuls of bacon drip
pings or vegetable fat, and bake 30
minutes. Serve hot with tomato or
white sauce.

JAPANESE CELEBRATION
LIKE FOURTH OF JULY

I peror who died a few years ago. This
message was delivered In 1888 and is
as follows:
Know ye. our subjects, the citizens OF
Japan: Our ancestors havs founded Lnis
nation ON a basis broad and everiastin
and have deeply and firmly impiantes
virtue; our citizens ever united In Ioyai-
ty and flial piety have from genefatlos
to generation illustrated the beauty there,
Of This is the glory Of the fundamentai
character of our land, and herein mes
the source of our education. fe, the
citizens of this land, be flial to your par
ents, affectionate to your brotners anu
monious; as friends true; bear your,
selves In modesty and moderation; extend
your benevolence to all pursue iearnins
and cultivate arts, and thereby ueVeiopS
Intellectual faculties and perfect moral
powers. Furthermore advance the public
good and promote common inteiess, III

should emergency arise offer yourselves
courageously to the state, ana thus guaraa
and the imperial throne, coeval with neav-
en- and earth. So shall ye not only De
good and faithful citizens but render Illus
trious the best traditions OF our fore
fathers.
The way here set forth is indeed the
teaching beQueathed by our imperial an
cestors, to be observed alike by their de-
scendants and the citizens, infallible thru
all ages and true In all places. 1t Is our
wish to lay 1t to the heart in all reverence,
in common with you, our citizens, that We
may all attain to the same virtue.

FACTS VERSUS EMOTIONS

If ever this country needed COO
heads to deliberate over the course
that this Government should follow
now is the time. With the people OF
the country so imbucd with war en-
thusiasm that they can be led or mis-
led by the playing on their emotions
by leaders who praise or taunt them
or charge each other of being agents
of the kaiser it is necessary that those
who do the influencing of the thought
and action should be guided by their
heads and not by their tempers.
Today this country is trying to put
forth every effort to come to the i'm
mediate aid of the Allies who have
held the Central Powers at bay and
who now look to the United States for
soldiers and munitions. At the same
time a group of leaders in Washing
ton are, either through political mo-
tives or through misguided emotions,
hampering the work by charging those
who do not hold the same opinions as
they do with being allied with the
Prussians.
Such feelings are certain to be
aroused in times of stress such as
these. But the people of the country
do not wish to have political preju-
dices or hot headed outbdrsts of emo
tions to govern the courses they shall
take. They want facts and reasons.
They want to know what is being
done and how much can be done.
They want their leaders to base their
judgment not on what they feel but
what they know.
The Middle West is looked upon as
the conservation section of the coun-
try. The East is influenced too much
by the surroundings and preparations
for war to get the proper perspective.
The West is furnishing the men and
the raw material for this great strug-
gle and the East is doing its share by
furnishing tie capital and turning out
finished products Both are engaged
in war work. only the West is going at
its job cool headedly and making al
lowances for mistakes.
Washington is in the East and is
liable to its influences. Emotions
have dominated some of the measures
which have gone through Congress
but the time has come for this section
of the country to demand facts as
guiding power rather than emotions
and it will hold its representatives re-
sponsible for their actions.

THE FLAGS OF SOME NATIONS

One glances at the gaudy pages of
the flags of all nations that bedeck
the front of the dictionary and at first
sight they all look alike. They're all
of about the same size, they all run
the same gamut of colors and yet
each one is different and distinctive.
The red, white and blue of our own
country's flag is too familiar to need
description. In the United States the
Union Jack of England is fairly well
known; the longitudinal crossed bars
of red, bisected by diagonal ones on
a dark blue background, inspire many
of us here because of our close ties
with the mother country. Belgium's
flag has a brave and striking color
eombination-the rectangular flag is
divided vertically in three equal Sec
tions, black, yellow and red. The flag
of Italy is rather more pretentious.
Nile green, white and red divide it
into three parts, and on the white
background CLEANS forth the national
coat of arms in gold. The Frez.ch
flag has our color scheme of red, white
and blue, but, like the flags of Italy
and'of Belgium, it is divided into three
parts, one color for each. The Neither
lands, too, use the popular red, white
and blue combination, but the stripes
in that flag run horizontally the
length of the rectangle.
,Japan's flag is especially striking-a
crimson sun with sixteen rays vivid
against a white background. A bull
fight must have inspired the designer
of the Spanish flag, broad bright
yellow band fianked on either side by
a strip of scarlet, and at one end
Spain's coat of arms. Norway's flag
is red with cross of blue, and Dem
marks is similar-red with a white
cross at one end, and the other end
notched.

the former. 1t is to be hoped that she
possesses more of the latter.
There is no need to tell the visitor
that this is an exceptionally we'll
paved city, for he can see so himself
Neither is there any need to mention
the condition of many of the side
walks. If he has to walk along Ninth
street from Broadway to Conley, he
forgets the street and remembers only
the sidewalk 1t is more than possi-
BILE that he will bear away reminder
of it on his body.
Civic slothfulness is the opposite of
civic pride. One is a great factor in
the upbuilding of a city while the 9TH
er acts as a check.
1t is not that Columbians actively
work to bring harm to Columbia, but
by their mere negligence this is what
is accomplished. The factory which
might locate here, the family which
might live here, the convention which
might be held here, will not come to
Columbia unless the citizens go after
them and bring them to a city where
the people are alive, energetic and
working for the betterment of the
town.

February IL is the greatest day in
the Nippon Empire. G. o. Shinji, a
Japanese graduate student in the Uni.
versity, celebrated it Monday night
at the Missouri Union with the Co.'S
mopolitan Club and number of in
vited friends as his guests.
The significance of this day is par
allel to our Fourth of July and is
celebrated throughout Japan amidst
the greatest jubilee, according to Mr.
Shinji. 1t marked the beginning of the
reign of the present Mushuhito i'm
perial dynasty $500 years ago. The
interesting feature about it is that 1t
Just coincided with the time when
Commodore Perry in 1853 forced ia
pan to open her eyes to the worlds
civilization. Mr.. Shinji said that al
though there was strong party in ia
pan fanatically advocating exclusion"
as more conducive to the general
peace of Japan yet the lures of civil
lization were too strong for Japan to
desist, and after Commodore Perry's
visit there was Immediately formed
the conservative party denouncing
exclusion" and advocating the open
door,"
The program was splendid. The
Star Spanged Banner" followed by
the Japanese national hymn entitled
"Kimigayo" marked the opening pro-
gram Of the evening. Then followed
a reading by Mr.. Shinji of a message
delivered by the late Mushuhito En-

TEACHERS LUNCH YESTERDAY
First of a Series of Lunch Meeting
Held at Noon at University High.

The first of a series of teachers
lunch meeting was held at the Uni
versity High School yesterday. These
luncheons will serve two ends; first
as laboratory work for the high school
classes in domestic science; second,
professional work for the teachers.
The meals will be served by the
second-year class in domestic science,
assisted by the first-year class. The
students, under the direction of the
teacher, make out the menu, plan and
prepare them Aside from the prac-
tice given the students in this way,
these luncheons will provide teachers
meetings at an hour when all may
attend. which has always been a diff
cult matter to arrange because of
conflicts in the schedules of the prae-
tice teachers.
The ninety-two teachers, which in
cludes all the regular teachers and
the practice teachers of both
the University High School and the
Elementary School, are divided into
eight groups according to their de-
partments. Each group meets
once every two weeks with the su:
pervisor of that department, each
teacher paying for his own luncheon.
The staff, which includes all regular
employed teachers and all supervisors,
met yesterday for the first time.
Much of the material used in the
preparation of the meals is brought
in from the homes of the students,
for which they are given credit at
the school. These luncheons will
come on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday, and will not interfere
with the regular luncheons served to
the students, nor are they in any way
served in competition to the Cafeteria
