Care for the Youngsters.

Editor the MissoRricn: In eagerly fol
lowing the athletic triumphs of the Tig
ers or Of the high schools, Columbia ha.
neglected playground supervision for the
grade schools. At no time in life is il
more important TO direct play than dur
ing the carly years at school. A super
visor could prevent oyer-exertion and its
harmful effects. Parents often see their
children injured without knowing the
cause and naturally condemn their
games.
Columbia has an unusual opportunity
OF securing free instructors for the grade
schools. Men have volunteered their
services for the credit given in Univer.
siiy classes. Girls from Stephens and
Christian colleges have trained the grade
school pupils. A system could be work
ed out between the larger and smaller
schools with benefits to both. The ex.
penses would be small.
II is not the fault Of the grade school
teachers that the children are not given
better playground care. The work re-
quires specialist. Many Of the teach.
ers could not train a small team if they
had time TO. Supervisors are available,
be small; so why not have one?

SAFE DRIVING

It is time the pedestrian in Columbia
is given the impression that the drivers
Of automobiles actually care to observe
his rights and safety. Since automobiles
have 50 increased in number that a large
majority Of persons ride in them, the re.
suit is that more people than formerly
take the point Of view Of the driver or
rider instead Of that Of the pedestrian.
While a large majority of drivers do
handle iheir cars carefully and respect
the rights Of pedestrians, they are not
given credit for it because of the few
who persist in careless driving.
The Columbia evening Missourian., 1920-12-30

The hostility, If any, should be be
tween the careful driver and the reckless
driver, rather than between all driver
and the pedestrians Accidents hsppcr
more between machines than to pcdes
rians. Safe driving should be maitel
Of consideration Of drivers themselves in
the matter Of a safety-6rst movement. II
every car owner in Columbia would keep
that in mind when he ventures out upon
the streets, he need not fear accident. An
attitude Of hostility toward the reckless,
incompetent drivers would be a more
effective restraint upon them than any
other means. Such a purpose would be
best carried out through an organization
of all owners Of cars such as Safe Dri-
vers Club.

LABOR DEMANDS

Not limited to the territory Of the Unit
ed States, but existing throughout ths
world, is the cry Of the laboring class
uplifted in protest against the capitalist
class, and equally as strong in return is
capitals answer. Why is this, and what
is the difficulty? Without capital there
can be no labor, without labor no capi-
tai. The two are so closely interviewer
that they cannot exist apart, and yet
50 seemingly not fitted that they cannot
live together either.
Labor is asking to be heard and wants
ifhe world to listen. Capital is the proud
Parent, severe and frequently unreason-
able.
q What prevents the two from coming to
hn agreement that will satisfy both, and
,atisfy the world? Only this; they do
OF understand one another, sometimes
ccause they won't and again, and usual
q, because they cannot.
Down through the ages the moneyed
sfsss has ruled by right Of wealth and
opsition- 1t has owned the factory, the
50 fll, the place in which the laboring
+. an worked. He worked for the rich
A,an, and since his life and that Of his
emily depended upon the good will Of
Il Re owner, he necessarily acceeded to
Ape wishes and whims of that powerful
ryan who gave him work. Feudalism is
: ,one, slavery abolished. But with Feu- !
Halism, all that made up Feudalism did
mot die. Tradition is hard to kill, un-
written laws remain for ages, and so has
the idea of the capitalisiic superiority.
But this is the twentieth century, and |
the tradition is dying natural death. We
no longer have need for it. 1t is time
that capital is beginning to recognize
the efficiency Of labor's mind, and willing
to grant il a voice in industrial govern |
mcnt. 1t is this that labor asks. II.
too, has awakened, and sees its own DOS
sibilities- 1t is calling for freedom.
Labor wants a chance to participate
in the profits Of capital, and an oppor.
tunify to have some rights in industrial
organization. something to say in the sys-
TEN which holds it at work all day. year
in and year out. II has found il has a |
voice, and powerful one, and now il
has reached that stage where it insists
upon making others hear it.
The great danger now is iha, the thing
will be stressed too far. Just as much
discomfort viii arise from too much labor
power as from too much capital power.
Power is not successful unless i, is BAL
snced. Labor must not forget that cap
iial has its rights, too, and that only by
an intelligent agreement between the
two can they attain the highest goal.

Would Change PIedging System.

Edifer the Missoarian: | had beer
away from the University only two day.
after completing my four-year course
there when | was talking about the Uni
versiiy with friend Of mine, who is
by the way, a graduate Of the University
Of Kansas.
Il suppose now that you are through
school, You think the same as a lot Of
us-that the college fraternity system
should be greatly changed?s he said to
me during the conversation.
| had thought Of this agitation some
but never very much in detail, and after
mopent's thought replied:
No, not necessarily the fraternity sys-
TEN, but ! would like to change the
average fraternity man."
Of course, there followed a long dis
cussion Of the goods and bads of frater-
mites in school life. At length / was
gladder than ever before that Missouri
is not besct with the aristocratic senti.
ment that prevails at many other schools.
and that there was thing called Mis-
souri, spirit" which predominates the
thought and actions of every collection
Of. students at Missouri.
That is true. / have often noticed il.
especially when comparing it with some
difficulty in another institution. can
safely and believingly say that there is
not fraternity or other organization at
Missouri that would do anything other
than that which it thought the best for
the school.
There is peculiar democracy that pre-
vails-it binds all students into a com
mon brotherhood. that Of supporting and
working for the interests Of Old Missouri.
As indicated, this is not true in many
other schools.
But as to the change that | would like
to see--the change in the fraternity man.
1t is largely prevalent in underclass-
men and can be laid at fbe door of one

tiles. Ii will be dedicated to the ser
vice of the American people as a whole.
1t is intended to be the worlds greatest
war memorial in beauty Of design, struc-
tural magnitude and breadth Of patriotic
activities.
An impressive feature will be the in
scription upon the wall Of the amphi-
lheaier, in letters Of bronze, Of the
names Of the many thousands Of New

THE SACRED LITHUANIAN BEE
A SIN to Kill Bee in This Country
Even When Stung

In Lithuania, when a bee stings a
man he turns the other cheek.
And almost literally at that, be-
cause it is a sin to kill bee, and no
one ever commits that sin Intentionally.
As result of their natural fondness
for bees, Lithuanians, with the growth
of their economic system, have de-
veloped bee raising from general So
cial custom to an important industry.
Thousands Of barrels of honey are ex-
ported from Lithuania annually.
Almost everyone in Lithuania has at
least one bee hive. Sometimes they
have thousands of swans. But It is
common even in the cities to have a
man serve you INDUS that is made
from the honey gathered in his garden
hive Midus, the national drink of
Lithuania, is made from fermented
honey
Bee hives in Lithuania are. not the
comfortable round igloolke huts that
are commonly used in America. They
are built very much like the Lithuania
home, with slanting gables and quaint
doorway.
The cottages which they build are
considerably larger than the round
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-02-02

American hives. Double walls are
built so that a protective warmth may
be kept in the hives and prevent the
bees from freezing during the extreme
cold of the long winters. Pine wood is
always used because it is supposed to be
a greater protection against cold, and
because it is the most common tree in
the forest lands of the country.
1t is in the coloring of the hives that
the Lithuanian asserts his individuality.
The life of the Lithuanian has been
starved of liberty and self -assertion
during centuries. He has been op-
pressed by Germans and he has been
oppressed by Russians-not only his art
and his literature, but even his Ian
guage has been suppressed. Now
Lithuania has broken free and is asking
the world to confirm its emancipation.
During the years of oppression one of
the chief amusements and art mediums
was the painting of hives The highest
degree of artistic beauty was often
realized Color combinations of origin
atty and richness were strived fer. And
it is notable that bee farmer tried as
many different schemes as possible, SO
as to differentiate the hives from one
| another-Troy Times.
