WOULD PRESERVE OLD HOUSE
Efforts Being Made to Raise Money to
Buy Dwelling Dating From Sew
enteenth Century.

Some who love good things-and
happily interest in the architecture of
former ages is awakening more
and more-are trying to preserve
remarkable old peasants dwelling at
Harreveld, a lonely hamlet on the
heather in the province of Gelderland
1t is called los luis, dating from the
Seventeenth century and the last house
Of the Saxon type. Los in the Geld
rian dialect, means open, by which it
is indicated that the house consists of
one room only and that there are no
partitions between the places for hous-
ing and sleeping for men and beasts /;
cows and goats and chickens living
peacefully together with the inmates
There is no chimneyplace; the wood
fire burns in hole in the floor, which
is of stone, and the smoke is allowed
to find an outlet as it pleases.
The peasants, man and. wife. who
are living here are beset with the ex-
tremely modern, yet most unfortunate
thought of having a wall built between
the stable and the dwelling room, add
ing a chimney and building another
room. by all of which renovations the
house will be irretrievably spoiled.
The managing committee of the
open-air museum at Arnhem are now
trying to get money together in order
to buy the house and have it removed
to their museum park. It is much to
be hoped that they will meet with a
prompt success.

Debating at University
Now on a Firm Basis

This, however, should not discourage
any youthful Demosthenes as adequate
provision for freshmen debating was pro.
vided by the Debating Board simultane-
ously with its decision barring them from

is chosen by competition to which all

GERMAN PLAYWRIGHTS

they returned to the auditorium with ths
announcement that competition had beer

squad until nine O'Clock the next morn

When squad membership was finally
announced, four women and eight men
had been successful. The 1921 % squad

The DIVERSITY of Missouri debate teams
are chosen from the squad of twelve, and
the coach endeavors TO arrange debates in
such a manner that every member of the
squad is in at least one intercollegiate de-
bate. Missouri participated in three de.
bates this year, a dual meet with Oklaho-
ma, triangular meet with Wisconsin
and Washington universities, and a dual
meet with Kansas.
The Missouri-Kansas contest this
spring was departure from the estab.
lished method of debating procedure.
The debate was held in Kansas City be-
fore joint meeting of the alumni of
the two universities. The two schools
agreed TO follow the Oxford plan of de.
hating, which does away with judges and
calls for no decision. At the close Of the
debate, anyone in the audience who

Proper Construction of Fireplace
Not Well Known, Even To Masons

The hearth has always stood for the
sacredness Of the home. The fireplace
never goes out Of style. And yet, well
built fireplace is rarity; many Of them
smoke, and most of them, by pushing
hot. air up the chimney and drawing
cold air into their room, are almost
worthless as part Of the heating system.
The proper construction Of hreplaces is
not well known even among masons.
In the first place, there should be
about thirteen square inches Of area in
the chimney fue to each square foot Of
fireplace opening. Less than this is
insufficient. The Rue should not be
contracted near the top, and if it turns,
the, full area should be kept at all the
turns.

THE URBAN LEAGUE.

Columbia is 10 have an Urban League
branch Of the National Urban League
an organization that fosters communit,
uplift and social service. II is composed
Of progressive whites and negroes who
hope 10 better the relations between the
races.
Race riots and lynchings have long
been a blot on the fame Of the United
States. They have disgraced both the
whites and negroes.
The Urban League, by fostering a bet
ic. spirit. will remove many of the causes
Of friction between the races. 1t will fos-
Ter spirit Of helpfulness; it will aim to
make the community a better place for
both races TO live in. IL will mean bet
ter quarters and better sanitation for the
negroes. This will result in better health
fer them. The health tone for the whole
Community will, consequently be raised.
Colombia has been singularly free
from any racial antsgonism. The Urban
League thus has good fundsiion to
build on.
An organization such as the Columbia
Urban League merits the support Of. the
whole community.

Between the fireplace and the flue is
the smoke chamber. Connecting the
smoke chamber with the fireplace is the
throat. The area of the throat should
not be less than that of the hue. 1t
and the base Of the smoke chamber
should be eight inches above the Intel,
or roof of the fireplace. The throat
should be only four or five inches wide,
but should run the full width of the
fireplace, while the smoke chamber tap

smoke chamber or smoke shelf, is fiat
and does not taper. This keeps down.
