HOME ECONOMIC GIRLS
INVENT A CLEANUP KIT

Stains on clothing can usually be
removed with little trouble if they are
attended to at once. Stains that are
left in fabrics for several days are
most stubborn.
The girls in the home economics
department at the University of Mis-
souri, have proved the latter fact by
sad experience. Fountain pens leak
in the class room; machine oil stains
the new dresses which are being made
in the sewing room; even the most
careful cooks in the food laboratories
sometimes acquire grease spots. The
girls have all been taught how to re-
move these stains as well as many
others, but in the hurry of their busy
school life they have not taken the
time to hunt up the necessary clean
ing materials at the moment when they
should be used.
At a class meeting several weeks
ago, it was suggested that first-aid
kit might be placed in the hall of
the Home Economics Building and
made available to the girl who had
need of it. A carpenter was called in
to construct a cabinet and attach it
to the wall, and then the following
materials were placed on the shelves:
2 bowls. 2 sponges, l medicine dropper,
2 glass rods, large pieces of cheese
cloth, ivory soap, naptha soap, ben
zine, ammonia, chloroform, acetic acid,
borax, ink eradicator, brush, iron and
blotters.
On the inside of the closet door were |
printed the recipes for the quick re-

Editor the Missourian: Are the
American people not yet educated
enough to fully respect the national
ensign?
The Army and Navy Regulations
say that the chief offense against the
flag is allowing it to be flown continu-
ously until it is blown to shreds.
Every flag that is not suspended in
doors should have a caretaker who
should display it when the days tasks
begin, and furl 1t when those tasks
are ended. There are but three places
where the flag may be flown continu-
ously. Those places are over the
Senate and House wings of the Capt.
tol at Washington and the Capitol
proper"
Some of the places in Columbia
where blackened, battered and flags
in shreds are displayed night and
day are on the dome of the
Boone County Courthouse, over the
City Hall, Boone County National
Bank, Barth Clothing Company and
Bowling Lumber Company.
Is the County Court without funds |
enough to, purchase new flag, and is |
the city treasury in the same situa-
ton? The Boone County National 1

canism ever so often, so does the lum !

THE MAKING OF MEN

Does military training in times Of
peace inculcate patriotism, teach
obedience, foster democracy and de-
velop the physical well-being OF
youth?
Frederick J. Libby, in the June issue
OF The World Tomorrow answers this
question. He says that the problem is
a spiritual one and that no mechani-
cal device will meet it. Education
and inspiration" continues Mr.. Libby,
will solve it, but their effectiveness
depends upon the sincere cooperation
of all Americans"
Mr.. Libby declares that:
Patriotism can be taught by the
school and by the press, but it must
be engendered by the factory and the
mine. Military training in these
times inculcates patriotism but when
peace comes will this forced Ameri-
canism have similar results? Did not
the hundeds of thousands of immi-
grants come to this country to escape
the hated service?
Democracy, to be real, must be of
the heart. Only the self-deceived and
the foolish would look for democracy
in the most rigid type of aristocracy
known to man-the army. No sub
stitute can replace the home and
school, but wise factory foreman
and constituted authority in all walks
of life are needed to supplement them
along democratic lines.
DR.. Dudley Sargent, director of the
Harvard gymnasium, has proven the
manual of arms to offer none of the
essential elements of good physical
exercise. Up-to-date military, training
furnish the strong with excellent
means of further development, but
in the inflexible system of the army
all are forced to undergo the same
physical strain day after day. Would
not year spent eight hours a day in
a mill and the remainder in a NUM-
cipal gymnasium, sunset baseball |
league or the cultivating of gardens do
more to improve their health perma-
nently than a years training in the |
army? Every child ought to be given |
a sound body as well as a reasonable |
mental equipment before he finishes
his school days.
Not by might, nor by power, but
by my spirit. saith the Lord of hosts,
by His spirit transmitted through |
man to man, and through men to
Doys,-only so can the America of our
lreams find realization"

KEEPING UP TO NOW

The late William T. Stead once pre-
dicted that recently deposd monarch
would probably lose his empire be-
cause of an omitted detail in royal
training.
This is true of all men. They are
likely to lose their small empire be-
cause they lag behind. A man who
does not-all men can-keep up to
now is out of the race: he is put in
the class of the never-to-be.
"If Nicholas had spent little while
on a metropolitan evening paper, Rus
sia would soon face no considerable
problems. The Gar can't seem to
realize the necessity of going to
press on time"
If Nicholas had kept up to now he
would still be Car. But, he insisted
upon tagging behind the progress of
peoples. He could not see through
the eyes of the editor who must get
his news to the public and mould for
the good before that tending towards
BODYBUILDING gets there. However,
Nicholas can hardly be blamed, for
detail in his royal training had been
omitted.
Keeping up to now is difficult, the
trials are many; tagging behind is
easy.

A report that may not state the Who.e
truth is that Of the Federal G Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, apparently showing
an increase Of 1925 in the number Of
American nillio or Of more than
so per cent in one year. It is possible
that the increase is not real, but is
largely composed sof tax-dodgers who
should have been included in the returns
of former years. If that is the case,
then wholesale enforcement of penalties
for delinquency is in order. It remains
to be seen if such action will be taken.
If, however, there have been no whole
sale discoveries of tax-dodg then more
clear than ever is the duty of Congress
to check opportunities for acquire
ment Of unreal wealth. So great an
increase in millionaires, in war times,
implies a greater spread Of poverty
among the masses than would be the
case had it occurred during peace.
Diversion of wealth in huge quantities
for destructive purposes must result
in a reduced per capita share for the
support Of the people. When, in spite
of these conditions, one class has in
creased its possessions enormously then
other classes must have suffered enorm-
GUS loss. In view of these facts, the
report that there will be no material
amendments to the revenue law at this
session Of Congress, ought to be untrue.
There should be radical changes. There
is no excuse for taxation Of labor products
and small incomes when nearly 5000

Are You Ready For .
The Question?

All are practically agreed that the new
city hall which is to be erected this year
would look better on a corner site than
in the middle of the block now owned
by the city. Some even go as far as
to- call it a "cri1ne' to have the city
hall built anywhere else than on corner.
Three corner sites are available, the
Worstschka corner, the Schemann form-
erly Kassuelkel corner and the Groebner
corner. The only reason none OF them
were selected is because of the additional
expense that would thereby be incurred.
The amount voted for building is
hardly sufficient to permit of the erection
of a city hall such as the city of size
and future growth and possibilities OF
New Ulm should have, and therefore
it is agreed that it is out OF the question
to cut this sum down one farthing at
the expense of the sum voted for the
building proper. At recent meeting
the Commercial Club went on record
unanimously as favoring a corner site
and appointed committee to take this
matter up with the city council at an
early date. The city clerk says that
the site has been selected and that all
plans are being made with that in view.
This means, in other words, that the
friends of corner site, must get busy
if they want their pet scheme to- be
considered and acted upon. The city
council will not decide from the step
taken by them, unless ways and means
are found to trade the present site for
a corner site without being called upon
to pay anything to boot. This will give
us a fine chance to show our loyalty
by raising the difference it will cost to
procure the corner site which we favor
the most. We think one of the sites
can be purchased for about $500 more
than the ~pre:e nt site could readily be
sold for. 1t ought to be no trick to
raise this and it ought to be possible to
raise considerably more if it should
become necessary to do this. 1t is
understood also that it costs more money
to erect building on corner than in
the middle OF the block. If necessary
the citizens might be called upon to vote
an additional $4,000 bonds to complete
a building that we will all be proud Of,
rather than to have one erected which
would be inadequate and which would 1
subject us to tie severe and deserved
criticism. Now is. tie time. Who will
ma the start to see if enough funds.
can be raised by voluntary subscriptions
to get us a corner site for our city hall?

the county such as raising money
for the Red Cross, Liberty Bonds,
War Savings Stamps, etc. The
first drive starts Monday 20 which
will be known as Red Cross week.
