Seven fresh cardinal sins have been enumer ated and marked for avoidance in the decalogfle of Stanford University by (Mrs. Evelyn Wright Allan, dean of the women students of the university. As a consequence the eo-eds are up in haughty arms at what they call an attack on their privileges, their dig nity and their taste. Following are the rules to be ob served by the co-eds at Stanford as laid down to them bv Mrs. Allan: 1.

TO CONSULT TROLLEY MEN St. Louisan Interested in Power House for Proposed Line. Louis A. M. Phelan, of St. Louis, arrived in Columbia today to consult trolley promoters regarding the loca tion and installation of a power house for the proposed electric line from Co lumbia to Mexico. George W. Dashiell, of Chicago, is here to investigate the bonds which this company proposes to issue. British Judge Thinks $2.50 a Week Enough for One. LONDON, Dec. 2. Judge Willis, who at Greenwich county court said that $2.50 a week was quite '"enough for a single man in these days," tells in an interview how he lived on 200 a year. At the age of 18 Judge Willis was earning 500 a year, being employed in Old 'Change at the top of Cheap side, and he found lodgings in Beaumont square, in Mile End roid. "I only had one room a small bed room but was provided with a break fast and a supper of bread and cheese. For this accommodation I paid $2.50 a week. "The whole of my expenditure, there fore, for lodging was $130 a year. I always walked from Beaumont square to the top of Cheapside, three miles out and home again. The tramways did not then exist." His clothes did not cost more than $40 per annum, and he never went to any place of amusement. "I never saw a horse race," said the judge, "or wish to know anything about one and never gambled to the extent of a penny. T always bought books. I believe that a young man should have books of his own, in his own room; not books which he borrows and must read and return bv a certain time.' In two months, the prices of eggs have advanced from twenty-four cents a dozen to thirty-five cents in Colum biaan increase of about forty-five per cent. Butter costs thirty-five cents a pound; two months ago it cost thirty cents. The average increase on vegetables and produce is eight per cent. Columbia grocers and butchers say an even greater advance in prices will Ik? manifest before December is past. Although, two months ago, a compara tive table printed in the University Missourian showed that foods cost more here than in the large cities, dealers here are sending prices skyward with a fine disregard for the economic laws which govern he ordinary branches of business. The accompanying table shows a comparison of the prices in Columbia on some staple food articles early in October and now. The first list was published in the University Missourian of Oct. 7 in a table comparing Colum bia prices with those in Moberly, Mo., and those in Painesville, 0. ine second list gives tlie average prices on the articles at the present and shows an increase on all articles except some cuts of meat. Living Here a Luxury. The complaints of boarding house keepers grow louder a3 the prices of groceries continue to advance. This is not surprising when the decrease in their profits on account of high prices is considered. The cost of living in Columbia, as computed by a board ing house keeper in October, is twenty- six cents a day for each person. The prices on these articles, including both meats and groceries, are alwut six per cent higher now than then. This would cause an increased cost of one and one half cents per day for each person. For a, woman who keeps twenty boarders, the increased cost would be thirty cents a day or a month of thirty days, lhis is the increased cost on these articles alone and they by no means constitute the entire list of ar ticles necessary for even the simplest diet. Other food articles have increased correspondingly and eausc a corre sponding decrease of the profit. Further Increase Coming. Grocers say the high prices on vege tables, fruits and canned goods during the cold season arc due to the lack of fresh articles. The prices will continue high through the winter and it is even probable that there will be "a further raise in these prices about Christmas, they say. The prices on meat are governed by the live stock market. This market is lower now than it was in the fall, hence most of the cuts are sold at a lower price than then. Oct. 7.

TELEPHONE BILL IS DEFEATED Streets Near University to Be Cleaned Before the Inauguration. ART LOVERS HEAR PICKARD He Distinguishes Between French and American Ideas of Tone. This decrease in prices on meats is about four per cent, while the increase on other articles is about eight per cent. Dr. John Pickard, in his lecture last evening at the museum of Archaeology where American water colors are now on exhibition, distinguished between the French and the American idea of tone in painting. ''The Frenchman's idea of tone," he said, "is the same as the American's idea of value. That is, they take tone to mean the proper amount of light, shade, and color that gives an object its proper place in the painting. The American's idea of tone is the genera! atmosphere of the painting. That is. if a picture "is of Autumn it has good tone if everything in the picture ex presses Autumn. For example, take the picture 'Love, the Ferryman.' Ev ery line expresses Spring. Another example is the 'Snow Scene.' The gen eral atmosphere of the picture is cold and crisp. 'In the Woods' is another good example. The whole picture has a misty, damp suggestion. Whistler's Color Tone. "Another kind of harmony in tone that the Americans have is tone in color. 'Esmeralda,' a portrait painting, is a good example of this quality, a green tone prevailing throughout the picture, even in the flesh. The general tone of an Autumn picture is russet. and the 'Ducks Preening Their Feath ers' is dark blue. 'The Veiled Year' is painted in a general russet tone, and the result is a great harmony. The most famous example in the history of painting of color tone is Whistler's painting of a girl in white standing on a white rug against a white back ground." Dr. Pickard gave a lecture Wednes day morning on "Value in Painting." ARMED CRACKSMEN DEFY VILLAGERS Robbers in Oklahoma Hold Crowd at Bay While Pillaging Bank. By United Press.

He may live with them on comfortable, plea-ant term- or lit may live on terms of armed ncutiality or at open war. Happine i- what the world'- a--eek ing. Xow happiness dependent upon what man is within hiin-elf. and what man i- within him-elf i- to -oine ex tent dependent upon hi- neighlxir-. A man may lio in a briar-patch and keep his temper but he will have less trou ble in keeping his temper if he live in a blue-grass meadow. A school that could teach its -indents the line art of getting along with othir peo ple, that could inculcate the princi ple", of peaceable and pleasant exist ence, would do much for the happiness of humanity. Hou-ehold economic- is an important part of modern school study but neigh borhood enconomies i- much more im portant and aluable. The teacher can do somewhat along this line by di rect instruction and somewhat more by indirection: It is difficult to teach gentlemanliness by precept. It is bet ter and more forcibly impressed by ex ample. Any school which lias a nar row, snarling, disagreeable m.'in at its head, though he be a scholar of high rank, is doing harm rather than good. In examinations for certificates to teach the first inquiry should be as to the ability of the applicant to teach by personal example the foundation of all happiness, the art of living with other people. The Great Teacher, who went about doing good possessed this art in largest degree and all who teach within school rooms or without may learn a lesson from his life. Along with mathemat ics and Greek and chemistry let stress be piaeed upon the ait of living in peace with all men. None is too young to study such an art and none too old to profit by such study. It may not lie wise to hae a chair of this art, with profe or in charge and a i-tant-, but it is certainly wi-e to enli-t all teacher- in every -chool room in its incul cation and more than professional teachers those who dwell in the school room that we call the world and are teaching by the actions which make up each individual life. THE STUDENT BODY. The student body at the University of Mi oiiri i- compoed of more than two thousand young men and young women. These students are in several c!a-es and of various age-. They are enrolled in one or more of eight de partments. They board over a large area, study and recite in widely sep arated buildings. When statements purporting to rep-rc-uit the opinion of the student body aie made the credentials of the maker of the statement should be carefully examined. Is this exponent of student opinion -elf-appointed or has lie been selected by the untrammelled vote of the more than two thousand students? Ts the opinion of the student body cor rectly stated or is it merely the opin ion of tl.e self-constituted spokesman or, possibly, of a small handful of those interested and biased? The voice of the student body upon subjects which concern its welfare and upon which its members are competent to speak should and does have great weight. Hut in the name of the student body many crimes are attempted for which the student body is not responsible. EjM4ED SPIRIT OF THE MEWS Governor-elect Herlert S. Hadley has said that .Missouri is '"again to blaze the way in which her sister states must travel." That she has done so in up building the West and also in the re forms effected under Gov. Folk, Gen. Hadley maintains, is no reason why there are no more paths to blare. In that Missouri is throbbing with the life of the age, she has before her all the problems of a commercial civilization. It is a new opportunity, and she will not be long in developing either her natural resources or her cities that in both she will still illuminate the way of the states. Xov. ."10, 1!)HS. is a date worth remem Wring in history. The signing of the Japanese-American agreement, the coro nation of Pii Vi, the arrival of the Chi nese Envoy. Tang Shao Yi, in Wash ington, and the sailing of the American Atlantic Fleet from Manila, arc all event- which mark the beginning of an epoch in the Far Ea-t. The three leading nation- of the Pacific coast are tot it til in agreement. There need be no moie talk ol Chinese dismemberment or of Japanese cncioachments in the Philippine-. The question- of immigrants and trade can both be belter dealt with, ami the Oriental as a student in Am eiic.in schools should get more cordial tieatment. The gieat significance of these events is that China and Japan are no longer to Ik- as step-children in the family ol nations, but are to get their rights without serious fear of challenge. The Haytieii revolution has i cached a crisis. Perhaps in a few hours President Alexis' rule will become a matter of hi-tory. Although he has been an ignorant despot, it is not likely that his successor will give llayti a better government. In fact, it is dilli eult to see how any native ruler could. The llaytiens have no civilization on which to base a stable government. The-e blacks who have been celebra ted for their spit it of freedom are now known best for their unrestrained li cense. Xot only have the mas-es re turned to primitive African Savagery and Voodooisin. but they have retained and multiplied the vices of civilization. The bearing of all this on government is clear when it is seen that among the lower classes, at least, the funda mental ideas of justice and fidelity are lacking and even the institution of marriage unheard of. It is such a proposition of bringing order out of chaos that has faced the United States for a long time. To annex the so-called Republic would have few advantages to our country; and we are not looking for any more i-landers to civilie. But the regenera tion of Hayti may be forced upon us. This festering island is so close under our shores that we are looked to by Europe to put it in order. Had it not been for the principles of the Monroe Doctrine, other powers would have at tended to it long since. Its disorders have lasted so long that the white population has in the main emigrated rather than submit to roblcry and degradation. Xeither foreign nor native merchants have assurance that their property or persons will be respected, o business, as well as civilization has retrograded. When the foreign governments make complaint, as they likely will in a few days, the government of the United States will consider it a duty to cor rect this anomaly of the twentieth century, by whatever means necessary to set the Havtiens back on the road to progress. R. MILLER. THANKS! C. J. MAR Syndicate MAR, president of the Hearst e. writes to the Depart ment of Journalism: "I am "lad indeed to see the University of Mis souri starting out a new department under such favorable auspices. I de- -iie al-o to compliment the Department on the inpearancc of the Lniveisitv Misourian. It is a very creditable licet indeed. If at anv time I can lie of service to the Department please do not hesitate 16 call on me." The Sounder, the quarterly magazine of the Fort Smith. Arkansas, high -chool says: '"The University Missou rian is a newsy periodical. What let ter thing could be said of a paper?" Miner Scholarship. The Marcus Vaily scholarship perhaps the most unique at Columbia Univer stiy, awarded every four years to a miner or a son of a miner in the state of Montana, has just been won by C. G. Sullivan, of Butte. The successful competitor will receive instruction lead ing to the degree of mining engineer, and is entitled during his resident at tae University, to $1,000 annually. Condi tions of the scholarship prescribe that the winner shall pass a competitive ex amination for admission and must be approved by the Miners' Union of Butte. ABOUT SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM THE first of a scries of practical talks on various phases of news paper and magazine work for stu dents in the courses preparatory to journalism in the University of Wis consin was given recently by Dr. E. E. Siosson. Xevv York, literary editor of the Independent, his subject being "The Making of a Modern Magazine." Mr. Siosson analyzed the elements that, go to make up the successful magazine and their relation to newspaper and literary work. II. K. Legler, formerly city editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel, who for twenty-five years has had charge of the preparation of election tables for Milwaukee newspapers, gave the, sec ond of tlie-c talks on "Election Xight in a Xewspaper Office," and illustrated the methods of compiling election re turns by tables and other materials used in the recent election in the Milwaukee newspaper offices. As a part of their practical training the stu dents in the newspaper classes assisted in the compilation of election returns on election night at the office of the Wisconsin State Journal. T III Wisconsin University Press Club, i (insisting of the young men in the university interested in journalistic work, has elected the fol lowing officers: Pie-ident, W. J. Gold schiiiidt. Milwaukee; vice-president, J. Thoinp-on, Ligonier, Ind.; secretary, Walter G. von Kaltenborn, Merrill; tieasurer. G. M. Sheets, Madison; li brarian, -T. C. Stempfel, Indianapolis; member of the executive committee, J. O. Roehl, Milwaukee. The club will hold bi-weekly meet ings, as in the p-ist, and is arranging to secure informal talks by a number of Chicago and Milwaukee newspaper men. A number of students in the college of agriculture of the university who are iuterestid in agricultural journal ism will meet shortly to organize an agricultural press club. TOLD ACROSS THE BREAKFAST TABLE "What's the matter with proclaiming a special university Thanksgiving day?" asked the solicitor for the Oven. "What for? To give thanks for the extra holiday granted by President Dill?" guessed the Junior '"Medic" at random. "Xo." corrected the man who reads the Missourian. "To celebrate the re placing of one of the stepladders lead ing into the basement of Academic Hall by a substantial wooden stair way." "Xo wonder the Medical Department is anxious to leave," replied the wag. "They'll have less chance than ever of treating injuries." "They'll have one more chance be tore they leave if you don't keep still," warned the Arts student, who had been reading ethics during the holidays and was not in a frivolous mood. "Missouri may not be able to shine in football, but her track men are all there," commented the Freshman. "A University of Missouri man won the eight-mile race in Kansas City, and another came in third. How's that for a round-up in track glory?" "From the style of your conversation von must have seen the cowboy melo drama at the Columbia Theater last week." said the football man. "You bet I did,-" interrupted the red headed "Soph." "Did me good, too. It was just the sort of show to sat isfy that blood-thirsty feeling the Kan sas game had aroused in me. The But the Arts student could stand it no longer. "So that's what you go to a show for?" he demanded vvrathfully. "Sure thing." finished the wag. "The -afe-t way to satisfy that blood thirsty feeling is to go to a chauffeur." Upon which the Arts student depart ed, cut two classes, took a walk and spent an hour thinking over whether it paid to be serious at the breakfast table. Jokes About Places.

Up among the torn bergs of the Arc tic a monster whale is cruising about with a harpoon embedded in his thick back and something less than half a mile of stout hempen rope trailing af ter him. The crew of the steam whaler Thrasher, which returned Sunday night from an eight months' cruise in the icy Xorth, declare that "Mister Whale got all that was coming to him. He got away from us," muttered the mate, spitting viciously into the scuppers, "but we will get him next season. It was a good rope we used, and he's get tangled up on something so we will be one whale to the good when we get back there. He was a bad one, though. You see Silva, the boat steercr, slung the hook into him when we were in open water between two bergs. Off he goes with the stick in his back, and the rope went out like a man tumbling from aloft. He ducked and dived until one tub of rope was gone, and he did the same with another. He was mak ing for the nearest floe and when he reached it he spit a lot of water into the air and took a deep dive. The edge of the ice cut the rope like a knife and he was off for good, with 2000 feet of the Thrasher's line and a good harpoon with him." San Francisco Chronicle. Student's Vacation Earnings.

MHTF.n FOR HIS yjvr rwnr,il.I.r I PROGRESS IN AERONAUTICS AX enterprising Paris firm is busy with a bird's-eye map of France, on which, for the use of aero planists and balloonist and air-navigators generally, the direct distances from town to town will be marked in clear figures. Xow that the navigation of the air is a thing of the near future, people are realizing how difficult it is for the captain of an airship to find, out exactly where he is, and maps will not le sufficient for this purpose. Travelling at the rate of fifty miles an hour, which is a speed already made by airships of all kinds, it is quite im possible to recognize a landscape from aliove. The French Aero Club is offer ing prizes for the invention of an air ship's compass. The ordinary compass Is no good at all. For some reason, as has already been proved on motorlwats, the action of the motor's magneto in fluences the compass so that no reli ance can be placed on it. In the mo torboat race from Algiers to Toulon the boats had to follow torpedo boats. They could not find their way across without them. In the race from Bou logne to Folkestone, where all the com petitors had ships' compasses, most of them lost their way across the Chan nel, and one of them spent all day rushing around Calais, and found him self off Cape Grisnez in the evening, while several went to Dover by mis take instead of to Folkestone. So an airship compass will be a very neces sary thing in the immediate future. Public attention in France is being drawn to the increasing frequency with which German balloons, often convey ing officers, have in the last few months landed on this side of the frontier. In the Echo de Paris, in a recent issue, M. Andre Mevil gives a iist, from which it appears that since the middle of April no fewer than sixteen balloons, which included among their passengers at least fifteen officers, have landed in dif ferent parts of the country. As recent ly as three weeks ago a balloon with two officers came down near Alencon, and on Xov. 9 three persons, who called themselves manufacturers of Frankfurt, alighted in Finistere, within twenty miles of Brest. 31. Mevil notes that on three occasions two balloons landed in the same region on the same day, and he suggests that the whole practice of entering France' by balloon is a form of espionage, which ought, if possible, to be stopped by the Government. "At present," he says, "it appears that the diplomatic representations made in Ber lin have not produced the slightest ef fect." Boston Transcript. Optimism.

It is the intention of those Harvard graduates who have taken the initiative in raising the Charles William Eliot fund, in rec ognition of his two score years of ser vice to the college and university, to conduct the subscription with as little publicity as possible. They feel that it is essentially a matter between the graduates, and that in order to make the subscription general it is better not to publish information concerning amounts subscribed. They desire that contributions be voluntary and include the largest possible number of gradu ates. For this reason F. L. Iligginson, '(53, who is the receiver of the subscriptions, was unwilling to make any definite statement today at his office, 50 State street. He said that not all the cir culars had yet been sent out to gradu ates. Unless the plans are changed there will be no statement of the fund until next spring, when at Commence ment it is likely that the committee which has charge of raising the fund will make a report to the graduates. The detailed work of the fund commit tee is being done through the office of the alumni association. The plan is to raise as large a fund as the graduates care to give and to incst the money, paying the income to Presi dent and Mrs. Eliot during their lives. Afterward the fund will be disposed of in accordance with the wishes of Tresident Eliot. The committee in charge is as follows: Charles Francis Adams. 'S3, of Boston; Alexander Agas siz, '55. of Cambridge; Joseph H. Choate, '52. of New York; T. Jefferson Coolidge, 50, of Boston; F. A. Delano, S5, of Chicago; Charles S. Fairchild.

A new treatment for tuberculosis of the bones, discovered by Dr. Emil Beck, of this city, has had a trial of five weeks at the Home for Crippled Children, and the results are said to have been remarkable. The .treatment, which promises to bring relief to a large percentage of sufferers from this form of the great white plague, is simplicity itself and consists for the most part of filling the cavity caused by the disease with a metallic substance, bismuth subnitrate, combined with a basis of vaseline. The discovery was incidental to tak ing an X-ray photo of a little invalid. The solution was applied to fi the out line of a tubercular abscess and beiii'.' left in the cavity, proved a healing agent. Dr. Beck told his discovery to Drs. John Ridlon and Wallace B!jn chard, at the Home for Destitute Crip pled Children and, in a five-weeks' trial, twenty out of forty crippled children were cured by the treatment. The formula contains thirty grams of bismuth subnitrate. combined with sixty grains of vaseline. The paste so formed is solid at the temperature of the body, but if a fever is induced, will run o:;i of the cavity. As the healing continues the mixture is absorbed. Medical men estimate that fully 5o per cent of all crippled children are suf fering from tubercular disorders.

Steiner, of Iowa College, Grinnell, Iowa, author of interesting books which give the intimate story of the European immigrant to America, has just returned from Europe, whither he led a party of recent college grad uates from Texas to Pennsylvania in a study of the immigrant in his home. The men were sent out by the Penn sylvania State Committee of Young lien's Christian Associations to spend a year abroad, on their return to take positions as general secretaries of Young lien's Christian Associations in the coal mining regions of that State. Their trip became a missionary jour ney from the start. With popular ongs and hymns, unbounded good na ture and unobtrusive interest in ev erybody, the men in the party made their influence wholesomely felt. When on the street" of Rotterdam a young man greeted them with these words, "Boys, you were a godsend to me. 1 came on board ship drunk after a ter rible spree, and I want to tell you that your life in the steerage has made such an impression upon me that when 1 return to the States I wish to join the Y. II. C. A." The plan was to discard railroad", so they bought bicycles and wheeled up the Rhine and peddled up the Carpa thian Mountains to get into close touch at the source with the vast stream of humanity which is pouring into their native land. Studying Foreign Customs. Under the lead of Dr. Steiner, who was born in Austria and commands nearly a dozen European languages and dialects, the college "boys" studied the language, customs and country, worked in the harvest fields and gathered fruit in the orchards with the peasants, learned the villagers' folk-songs in the evening and in their turn sang the college and church hymns. They found a friend in every re turned immigrant and the native-, to whom America was the "Promised Land" received them with open arms, pr. Steiner .said that immediately when they learned that he was Euro pean born they gave their attention to the boys, the real Americans. They had for their school masters in a mis sion school where they stopped in the heart of Poland, Russians, Lithuanians, Poles, Bohemians and Jews the very best type of men whom they needed to know. Commissioner Robert Watchorn con siders this mocment of the Y. M. C. A. the most significant in its possibilities of influence among the immigrants from Europe of any the organization has undertaken. These men will know the people with whom they are to live and crve as secretaries of Associations in the mining field of Pennsylvania. Greet Incoming Strangers. The International and World Com mittees of the Y. II. C. A. are station ing men at the great ports of debark ation of the old world, who are distrib uting literature about America and in troductions to the Y. M. C. A.'s in sev enteen different languages a part in a tliain of influence beginning from the distant interior towns and continuing from the ports of sailing, possibly in cluding later trained Association secre taries who will sail with the immi grants in the steerage. Immigrants are now met at the ports of Xew York, Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia by secretaries and intro duced to branch Associations through out the country, as far West as the mining camp of Taft. Mont., a construc tion camp in Roslyn, Wash., the cop per mines of Arizona and lumber camps of Louisiana. Dr. Steiner said, "The people marveled that there was not a money-making s!ieme back of the en terprise, but most of all that none of the college fellows drank even the light leer of the country or smoked, and at their purity and simplicity of life as well as their physical vigor. They were college athletes, and took part in the native games. They introduced baseball and gave some of the Ameri can citizens to be the first lessons in the national game."
