A COMPARISON

There are thirty-three women in the
state of Missouri doing vocational
teaching. Their salaries average
$105.sl a month and they are paid
nine months a year with one excep-
tion.
There are thirty-six men in the state
OF Missouri teaching vocational work.
They are paid s15s.67 q month and
are paid for twelve months q year,
with but three exceptions.
To do their work, both men and
women spend an equal number Of
years in training. They get their
training in the state normal schools
and in the University of the state.
In no University or school town
are boarding rates cheaper for women
than for men. Landladies upon re-
ceiving girls do not say. II see you
are = woman. I will charge you SO
cents q night less 1or your pillow"
In the payment Of school tuition and
fees there ID no discrimination be-
tween men and women. II woman
becomes indebted for her schooling
she faces more years OF debt than q
man.
II is true that the men sometimes
have wives and children to support.

MIX FOR EvRRYBODY
use more milk"

use more mix.
Bryan and his grapejuice highball
have passed; prohibition is out Of the
propaganda stage into the Constitu-
ton. The National Dairy Council has
taken the center Of the exhorting
stage with its campaign to educate
the Nation to use 40 per cent instead
OF 20 per cent Of Its food expenditure
for milk and milk products. By pla-
cards, posters, newspaper advertising.
personal appeals and the effective
cookbook, Columbia is receiving bar
rage of information about the rela-
tive food value Of dairy products.
1t is gathered that beefsteak Is a
delusion and squandering Of mon
ey; cheese is the thing. A bale Of
Goldfish has about half the nutritive
value of a gallon of ice cream. A
nestful Of eggs is watery compared to
q brick Of butter. And so on.
The campaign is convincing. Per-
haps after all, we have been wrong
about our eating. The testimony con-
tanned in the cookbooks says so.
At present prices it will do no harm
to try out the suggestions Of the
Dairy Council. Perhaps II meat and
the old reliables Of the menu were
ostracised for . time they might come
down. And perhaps by that time the
housewife would have her family
converted to the dairy diet.
The attempt to switch the consum-
ers from a meat and vegetable diet to
a milk diet has come at the right
time. 1t Is possible that 1t will go
over as easily as prohibition.
1t might be well to substitute the
creamery for the stockyards and the
packing house.

more about the men I am voting Tor
than he does"
Now II the decision as to thirty
names puzzles Wilson. . student Of
government all his life, what must IL
choice be for the average voter. who
knows little about government and
whose interests lie entirely away from
IL?
But thirty names is . very shor4
list. With the decline Of confidence
in the legislature and with the in-
crease in the number Of elective Of
fees, the ballot has been continually
lengthened until lists Of forty, fifty
or even q hundred names are common:
In q Chicago election the ballot WAS
two feet, two inches BY eighteen
and a half inches and contained more
than three hundred names. In New
York the ballot once contained eight
hundred names. The ballots used in
a st. Louis election q few years ago
were one-column slips Of paper
twenty or twenty-five feet long.
Now somebody must see that the
nominations are made and all the Of
fees filled. The average voter cannot
do it; so the result has been the pro-
fessional politician and the creation
OF the party organization as an office
filling and spoils-shariny device. The
attempt then-at popular sovereignty
