Would Abandon the SaNitar.

Editor of the Missourian: On ev.
cry hand we are being urged TO con-
serve-tO do without everything that is
not a necessity. The students of our
land as compared with students of
other lands are considered extrava-
CANT. Many an American considers
the student the greatest money spend
er of all young people. Are we as
students honestly conserving this
year while some of our erst-while
companions are giving their lives in
France? How about the Savitar this
year? Have you ever stopped to con-
slider how much the Sayitar costs the
student body each year? Think how
many thrift stamps and liberty bonds
could be bought, how the student con-
tribution to Red Cross, the Y. NJ. c. A,
etc, could be increased if the money
we put into the Savitar were spent in
one of these channels to help win the
war We would not be the first school
to do away with their annual for the
duration of the war Even last year
several schools practiced that econo-
my and surely the call for conserva-
tiOn is greater this year than it was
last.
This is worth thinking about. If
it should be done, let's make Missouri
one of the leaders in this form of
war economy and not wait until every
other school has set us the example.

MOVIE POSSIBILITIES

The possibilities of the moving pic

lied more and more They attract
larger numbers of people than any
other form of amusement, giving a
large field for the ideas that the pic

fact that a good picture will present

That the moving picture screens are
to be used in the Fourth Liberty Loan

tions have been prepared and will be
released in the three weeks of the
campaign, so that every United States
theater can have a fOur-minute Lib

THE NEW BOOKS
SLOW to Sell More Goods

How to Sell More Goods" is writ
ten by H. J. Barrett largely out OF
the experiences of the many sales
men the writer has met in the course
of his own work.
He approaches the subject in an
informal way just as two statesmen
might talk over their experiences to-
gether in a Pullman car.
Originally published in the New
York Evening World and other news
papers. the artices have well deserved
republication in book form. Sales
manship cannot be learned from a
book but many and valuable pointers
can be thus acquired. The book is
a welcome and worth while addition
to modern business library.

PRAISE AND A SCOLDING

Honor is due the women of the
United States for the way they have
stepped in and taken up the work OF
the men wOh are away at war. Women
by the thousands are responding to
the appeal of employers for help and
are accepting positions created by
industrial expansion.
From knitting to heavy farm work
they have answered the call for labor
The estimate is that in a few more
months the number of women enter
ing industry will be greater than the
number of men Withdrawing to enter
national service.
But along with the stepping into
wage-earning has come a marked in
crease in expenditures for clothing.
While the Government is urgently
asking strict economy in wearing ap-
parel as well as in food, this con-
ditiOn should not exist. If the wom- /
en- have proved themselves capable of |
the initial sacrifice of taking up mems .

HOOVER CHANGES
NO-WHEAT PLEDGE
Public Eating Places, However, Will
Continue to Comply with the
Baking Regulations.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Release
of hotels, restaurants, clubs and dining
car services throughout the country on
August / from the voluntary pledge to
use no wheat until the present harvest,
was announced yesterday in cable
gram received from Food Administra-
tor Hoover who is now in Eng
land Public eating places, the food
administration said, will continue to
comply with baking regulations and to
serve victory bread
Mr.. Hoover in his cablegram con-
graduated the proprietors of public
eating places upon their patriotic serv-
ice, expressed appreciation of the con-
fidence that the spirit shown win en-
able the American people to build up
a great food reserve against the ext
gencies of the future
Though exact figures have not been
compiled, it was estimated yesterday
by the food administration that through
the voluntary pledge made by hotels,
restaurants, clubs and dining ears there
has been affected between October /
1917, and August l, 1918, a saving of
between 175,000,000 and 100000, 900
pounds of wheat and wheat products;
150,000,000 pounds of meat and 50,-
100000 pounds of sugar. The action
of the proprietors of public eating
places, it was said, also has been of
great educational value in CARRYING to
the homes of the nation the necessity
of food saving
Approximately 5000 hotel proprie-
tors have observed the principles of
the wheat saving pledge and many of
the 100000 proprietors of other pub,
| lie eating places have observed the
regulations of the food administration
The cablegram of Administrator
Hoover follows:
I'm releasing the hotels, restaurants
| clubs and dining ears from their vol
untary pledge not to use wheat in any
form until the new harvest. I wish to
| congratulate them upon the patriotic
example they set and thank them fol
the large savings they made. The
echo of their service has been heard il
Europe and has pointed the way OF
demoeracy-the most service of those
who have the most to give.
1t has been a personal inspiration
to me to have the continued help, Sc
freely given, of all of the men ant
women who put through the 'no-wheat
campaign which helped us to provide fo
the necessities of the allies in spite o.
our short crop.
81 have confidence that the sam,
spirit will enable us to build up tn,
great reserve of wheat and other food
needed to provide against future crol
failure and to assist the allied nation
in putting through the great offensiv,
that must win the war;

KNOCKOUT IN % SECONDS.
Quick Victory by Dempsey Over Fred
Fulton-May Meet willard.

Jack Dempsey who claims Califor-
mia as his residential state, won sur
prisinglv quick victory over Fred Full
ton, the Rochester (Minn) heavy
weight. in % seconds at the Harrison
baseball park at Newark, n. j., Sat
urday evening.
The moment the bell called the men
from their corners Dempsey rushed at
Fulton and took the big fellow by sur
prise, landing a hard right swing un-
der the heart and hooking his left to
the stomach These blows made Full
ton vince and the bigger man was un-
able to defend himself with Dempsey
at such close quarters. Fulton's long
arms swung helplessly over Dempsey 8
head, but Dempsey sent in two short
arm body blows.
Then Jack stepped back about foot
and hooked his left to the Rochester
giant 3 jaw. The big man tottered and
fell to the floor of the ring, his head
resting on his right arm which pinned
down the lower rope of the three which
encircled the ring, and he was counted
out.
"I'd like to fight Dempsey was
the first comment of jess Willard,
heavyweight champion, when he
learned the outcome of the fight.
81 am not surprised at the result,
he continued. "All you have to do is
to hit Fulton to have him down. y
Willard declared his belief that there
would be no more major boxing events
until after the war.
