Thought Cakes tainted.

Virginia loved to help her mother.
One day her mother was making
special effort to bake prize cake for
the church fair and Virginia was all
interest. The cake rose beautifully
and appeared to be thoroughly done.
but when removed from the stove 1t
fell fiat and had a sad streak through
the center. Another cake was immedi.
ately mixed In haste and little Vir-
glnia's eyes grew large as she listened
to her mother lamenting over the first
sad cake that had fallen. The second
baking proved the same as the first,
but the third attempt resulted In
veritable triumph. Virginia, however,
could not rally from the mornings
tragedy, and when her aunt came over
she exclaimed In great excitement:
"Oh, auntie, mother made three cakes
and two Of 'em tainted"

AN. AMERICAN ENGLISHMAN

Great Britain has been in the habit
of sending US political conservatives !;
we hope that in sending US Lord
Reading she has changed her policy.
Sir Frederick Smith, as a commits
sioner from England, was a conserva-
tive. Lord Northcliffe was a repre-
sentative of the property-owning class
es. And Balfour? We have but to
point to his administration in Ireland.
Will England now, in a time OF the
greatest need for sound diplomacy,
send us a conservative?
If the life of Earl Reading is indica-
tive of the man, he should be an
American among Americans-an
American Englishman. Born of Jew
ish parents, his father London mer-
chant. he has attained the second
highest law position that the crown
can give Reading began life as
cabin boy. Then he became stock
broker and failed. He studied law
and was successful. He was elected
to Parliament and then became So
licitor general. After that Reading
was promoted to the attorney general
ship; then to place in the cabinet.
He was the first attorney general to
have that distinction. Later he was
made chief justice of England-the
first Jew to attain that honor.
What better material would Horatio
Alger have des red for one of his
stories? Here was the poor boy with
ambition. Here were also his fall
ures. And at last, the winning of the
goal. And what is more, Reading was
a Jew. But mark out the place, Eng
land, and retell the story, and no one
would hesitate to say that it was the
story of an American boy. In fact, it
is the story of Abraham Lincoln!
His policies tend to show that he is
democratic. He is the personal link
that binds together the different ele-
ments of the radical party. Every
day at o'clock in the evening, Lord
George goes to the office of Lord
Reading to discuss the happenings. of
the day and to plan the events of the
next.
Great Britain sends him to us to
draw more closely the ties that bind
us to her. Reading, We hope, is the
man that can do it. We hope that the
romance of his life, the American life,
has made him what it made Abraham
Lincoln. We hope that England, in
such a democratic crisis as the pres
ent, is not sending us conservative
but a progressive, Lord Earl Reading,
Rufus Daniel Isaac, son of a Jewish
London merchant, an American Eng
lishman.

S PORT

Five games now remain between
Missouri and its first Valley basket
ball championship in its history after
the defeat of the Kansas team by a
score of 80 to 81 last night at Roth
well Gymnasium. The Tigers out
played the Jayhawkers throughout
the game, and at no time was there
any possibility of a close score. At
the end Of the first half the score
was Missouri IS, Kansas 6.
Captain Uhrlaub of Kansas made
the first score on free throw. This
is the only time that Kansas was
ahead. The Jayhawker five played
fast defensive game with Laslett, who
will be remembered as an end on the
Kansas football team, as the mainstay.
He was active in breaking up many
of the Tigers play in Missouri terri
tory and was fast in rushing the ball
down the court He was forced out in
the latter part of the second half on
personal fouls, the first man to be
eliminated this way on the local court
this season. The Kansas basket shoot
ing from the floor was erratic and
there were many long shot, the team
from Lawrence making little use of
the short pass game which is said to
have been introduced there since Mis-
souri's success with this style of play

MissOuri's tossers from the foul line

THE PEOPLES TRUST

The Government is working out a
scheme for the Standardization of rail-
road equipment and for an association
of purchasers of railroad supplies.
This will result in the use by factories
of one standard pattern for all equip
ment, thus bringing about large
saving. It also means a saving to the
railroads through cooperative buy
ing.
This is the plan utilized by trust,
and, in truth, Government manage
ment of the railroad system is a trust
But it is a trust from which the evils
have been eliminated, leaving only
the good features.
The central idea involved in trust
is one that is beneficial to the public
at large, for a trust should supply a
cheaper and better product. The evil
comes in the restraint placed on trade.
In the railroad situation, this is done
away with, since each company con-
tinues to operate as before. Whether
or not one believes in Government
ownership, certain it is that Govern
ment control of the chief means of
transportation in this country will
rebound to the good of all concerned.

as he made a perfect percentage on
six throws on fouls.
Missouri played the usual short
pass and pivot game although the
forwards had a hard time getting away
from the fast guards. Slusher, de-
Jayhawk plays, but appeared in a
new role of basket maker from the
field by scoring three goals from the
floor. Shirley made six baskets from
the field and Ruby five Captain Camp
bell made three scores. Wackher,
guard, realized on two of three at
tempts at the basket on fouls.
The Kansas team was not in its
usual form as the men came direct
from the train to the court. The game
started at $50 o'clock. DR.. Isidor
Loeb of the political science depart
ment of the University, four-minute
speaker, made a talk on the war be-
fore the game.
