SCHOOL BEGINS

Registration began yesterday at the
University. An unusually large num-
Der of boys just IS and over registered.
The Students Army Training Corps
offers unusual advantages to young
men just reaching the new draft age.
They will be able to complete, or at
least begin, their education, partly
supported by the Government. Pri-
Yates pay, $50 a month, is given each
student in the corps.
This fall and winter, the University
will be veritable war school. Courses
in various technical subjects for the
men in the S. A. T. c. as well as for
the men in the War School, are Of
fered.
Serious work will begin Monday,
and it promises to be more serious
this year than usual. 1t seems as if
even lighthearted youth is beginning
TO realize the tremendous sacrifice OF
the countries beyond the seas, and the
sacrifices this country is going to be
called on to make.
They are preparing.

Food Hint for Today
Bunnies for Beef.

Individually and collectively W.
Americans all want to do something t.
help fight the foe, says the United
States Food Administration. If it /:
food we wish TO conserve We confident
ly face about,-ready.-go!-and run
the race that is set before US.
England and the Allies needed beef
and other meats. We, by modest sac
rifices, sent them a goodly supply. But
in sending big supplies Of meat to Eu-
rope we need to find substitutes for
meat at home.
In this we might well follow the ex-
ample of England. where the breeding
OF rabbits for food is being carried out
on a large scale. There everyone from
tenement dweller TO Princess Mary
herself and the royal household is
working for the development of rabbit
culture
There are ninety members Of the
royal household in the first club start
ed in London, and this has been fol-
lowed by extensive organization of
such clubs in all the cities in Eng
land.
Rabbits require little space, hutch
or wire-covered cage six feet long by
two feet wide and two feet six inches
high being the standard size, used in
The larger varieties such as the Bel
gian or Flemish Giant produce fifty or
more pounds Of meat in year, dress
ed weight. New Zealand Reds. which
have a finer fibre. produce slightly
less. They are all quite inexpensive
to raise
For home use rabbits can be raised
in the yard and their care delegated
to children. OF course they must be
fed regularly. grass and weeds col
lected from the fields being a large
part of the food necessary.
Dandelions. plantains. hogweed. |
dock, cow-parsley, milkweed and
grasses are greens that rabbits will
ievour greedily. Beside these the out
side leaves of cabbage and lettuce, tur-
nip and carrot tops and other waste /
garden products are good. and they .
ike orange peel or scraps from the
able.
A small amount of bran, oats, barley
neal or weed seeds should be given |
hem. this being practically the only
expense for their food.

THE OPEN COLUMN

Editor the Alissourian: 1t is under
stood among the students that the
girls athletic field is going to be taken
away from them in order that the new
barracks may be built there.
AS it happens, that is the only place
the girls have for outdoor recreation.
and it is used a great deal by them. 1t
seems hardly necessary to take away
the only corner they have in all the
University grounds, for the purpose
of building new barracks. Other 10
cations surely would be as suitable
from the standpoint OF location. On
Hillcrest, back of the gymnasium, is a
lot in practically the same relation to
the gymnasium as is the lot it is
planned to requisition.
Outside of the fact that this plan is
manifestly unfair, there is the point
of view of the health of the women
who are to be in school this fall and
winter II they ever needed Iecrea-
tion, systematic recreation, they need
it now.
Their work will be heavier than usu-

selves to do some sort of war work
Many OF them will carry more thar

courses in Red Cross work, first aid

will help them to serve when they GET

They need systematic recreation
They not only need it, but they must
have it. The main trouble in the sit
uation is that no recognition OF the
necessity Of recreation for women has
been given. The womanhood of the
University must be kept up to mark.

THE PROHIBITION BILL

That after June 80, 1919, until tn
conclusion of the present war an
thereafter until the termination o
rehabilitation, the date of which shall
be determined and proclaimed by th'
President of the United States, for th'
purpose of conserving the man power
of the nation and TO increase efficien'
cy in production of arms, munitions
ships, food and clothing for the Army
and Navy, it shall be unlawful TO sell
for beverage purposes any distilled
spirits, and during said time no dis
titled spirits held in bond shall be re-
moved therefrom for beverage pur-
poses except for export
Thus reads the first paragraph OF
the Sheppard amendment TO the Emer-
gency Agricultural Appropriation Bill.
The amendment is a compromise be-
tween the wet and dry leaders, 10 have
"bone-dry" prohibition, effective June
80, 1919, and continuing during the
war and until rehabilitation of the
American troops.
Other parts of Senator Sheppard's
amendment declare that after May l,
1919 no grains, cereals. fruit or other
food products shall be used in the
manufacture or production of beer,
wine or other intoxicating malt or
vinous liquor for beverage purposes.
Further, that after June 80, 1919, no
beer. wine or other intoxicating malt
or vinous liquor shall be sold for beV-
erage purposes except for export.
Then too, the commissioner of in
ternal revenue will be authorized to
prescribe rules, subject to the APPROX
al of the Secretary of the Treasury, in
regard to the manufacture and dis
tributiOn of wine for sacramental,
medicinal or other than beverage pur-
poses. Importation of intoxicating liq-
uors shall be stopped upon approval
of the act.
For violation Of any of the above
rules a person may be punished by one
year in prison or be fined $1,000 or
both. The same punishment may be
given to anyone violating the zone"
rules around coal mines, munition fac
tories, shipbuilding plants and the like,
which the President is empowered to
fix The bill has passed both houses
of Congress, although in slightly diff
ferent form. AS soon as the differenc-
es are eliminated it will be laid before
President Wilson for his signature or
veto.
This bill provides for national pro-
hibition to last for the duration of the
war But, through the ratification Of
a Constitutional Amendment by the in
dividual states will come national pro-
hibition for all time, and that soon.

1t is suggested that students enter
ing the Students Army Training
Corps take up German with the idea Of
becoming proficient enough in the Ian
guage TO understand it readily when
spoken. You cannot expect the enemy
to speak English for your benefit when
you are listening some dark night at a
listening post.

THEY'LL QUIT THIS
KIND OF TRICK SOON

London, oct 8. (By mail)-An
English sergeant just back from I'M
prisonment in Germany, tells the fol
lowing story about the treatment he
received there:
He was captured at Cambria. Dur
ing one Of the visits Of the German
doctor to the pison camp he sudden
ly looked at the prisoners right hand
and said 'Achl What's the matter
with your finger?
The seargent assured him the fin
ger was quite all right, but the doctor
insisted that the finger was poisoned
and that he would have to lance it,
He did so, and three days later three
OF the Englishman's fingers became
very much tnflamed 1t went from
bad to worse and eventually the hand
had to be amputated
The victim of this atrocity declares
that originally there was nothing
wrong with his hand, and that the
finger was lanced in order to make
him unfit for service in the army
should he ever get back to England.
