for at the rate of rs cents an hour.
This seems to be the standard wage
laid down some years ago. OF course
there are people in town who have
thought that this rate was entirely too
high and have lowered the rate in
accordance with their own ideas.
Room rent. board, laundry rates
and various other things have been
increasing yearly. Single rooms are
being let at from s12 to $40 month.
Double rooms are renting at from SIS
to 500 month. Board may be Sc
cured this year at from 81 to 50 a
week.
The high cost of living has raised
prices on things to a point that has
never before been reached.
Does Columbia want the working
student here or is she going to keep
him away?
Profiteering in many cases can be
found right at home.
All honor to the student this year
who works his way through the Uni
versity under the present conditions.

QUIT CUSSIN'

England has decided to take another
swipe at our movies. Ninety per cent
of the British picture films are Amer
ican made. T. P. O'Connor, chief Brit
ish film censor. has decreed that film
swearing must cease. T. P. says
there are entirely too many "hells"
and "damns" in our pictures. For a
while pictures were passed ''for adults
only" but lately it is deemed there is
too much rough talk even for the
modesty of grown folks to stand with
out turning salmon pink behind the
ears. At a recent production of "Pil-
grim's Progress" at deaf and dumb
institute one of the inmates discovered
that the character, Talkative, cussed
most awfully to himself every time he
came on the screen. 1t has definitely
been decided that the English Channel
can stay, but the damn" must go.
1t is true that English theatrical
men are alarmed at the immense num-
ber of American movie shows in Bri-
tain and that producers have held sew
eral meetings for the purpose of bet
ter organization against them. This
attack upon our picturesque mode of
conversation may be only another
method to agitate feelings against
American control of filmdom; or,
again, it may be the honest, indignant
wrath of the English followers of the
silent drama. At any rate it won't
hurt us to quit swearing for awhile,
or at least to say our bad words here
at home where everybody kows US.
We must not shock our English
cousins further with naughty words.
We know it is bad habit and we
would break it if we could. 1t is up
to US to teach Bill Hart to say 'oh,
fudge!' whenever he must register
CONSERVATION or evaporation before
the telling eye of the camera.
Why not work off our excess ener-
gy by letting Charlie Chaplin throw a
few more open-faced pies, and Mary
Pickford snip off another inch or so
from the bottom of her childish dress
for the refined delight of Great Brit
ain?

Fayors Higher Paw Tor Students.

Editor the Missourian: All honor
and glory to the students in the good
old days of yore who came to Colum-
bia and by their own efforts were
able to make their expenses and pay
their own way through the University.
From inquiries being received at
the Y.M.C.A. and other places of in
formation 1t appears that great
many prospective students intend
working their way through the Uni
versity this year.
Columbia is ready to receive them.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Broader Y.M,C.A. Service.

Editor the Missourian: The Colum-
bia YM.C.A. is a remarkably helpful
agency to the University students.
Hundreds of men have been given
chance to earn their way through
school by employment found for them
by the "Y'. Its auditorium and class
rooms have been considerable sup
plement to University equipment. A
number of students occupy rooms in
the building at reasonable rates.
But a city Y.M.C.A. is generally
recognized for the good it does to
the youth of that city, and it is in
this direction that the Columbia "Y"
could increase its effectiveness. Of
course, the organization here was
founded largely by and for University
interests, but that fact need not neces
sariiy circumscribe its efforts.
In 6rest, France, the Y.M.C.A. had
big task before it to keep the Am
erican soldiers and sailors from re-
sorting to the vice that made such a
VII the tiliie VI
Americans. But the "Y' there was
largely successful in maintaining the
men in clean habits by giving them
wholesome entertainment and amuse-
ment. Every night there was some
thing going on at the ''Y" Building that
appealed to the interest of boys and
young men.
Might it not be possible for the Co
lumbia YM.C.A. to devote some spe-
cial activities to Columbia boys who
may not happen to be students? :?
Amusements could be devised for
them which would be able to compete
successfully with street corners, pool
halls, gangs, etc. The "Y' could make
itself a valuable form of insurance
against weasel gangs, gambling
cliques and similar improvised boys
clubs which too often come into ex-
istence in Columbia boy life.

LINKS PRESENT WITH PAST
Woman Says Her Friends Husband

newspaperman believes that he has

writer has pointed out that there lives

most impossible, but
Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon
III, now living in retirement, met, in
her youth, the aged widow of a duke
of Richelieu. The duke in his youth,
and long before his last marriage, was
member of the grand monarch's
court during the latter part of Louis
reign.
The duke of Richelieu married, in
1880, at the age of "a years, very
young woman. This. was his third
marriage, he having been welded un-
der three kings, Louis XIV, Louis XIV
and then under Louis XVI.
1t was the dukes third wife, who, as
very aged duchess Of Richelieu, met
the young girl who was later to be-
come the Empress Eugenie, and
through whom the present age is
linked with the past. The duchess re-
lated stories to the young Eugene

who played prominent parts in French
