WAR-RELIEF WORK
That England prefers that her wom
en finish their college work before
they devote their entire time to war
relief was emphasized yesterday hy
Helen Frazer. In fact, England seems
to regard college training as a sort of
war-relief work. English women learn
mathematics In school then apply
what they have learned in government
computations. They study languages
and help in the censorship depart
ment. They lake courses iu foodstudy
to find methods of conservation.
Miss Frazer said that the kitchen
was the housewife's trench from
which she fought the enemy. Is not
each university student building a
trench from which he or she will,
' when his task is completed, be able to
do his part in the great struggle? All
countries need trained men and
women.
Students today have not the right
to selfishly build trenches tnat win
help only themselves. Every college
has students of that sort, men and
women who are working for to serve
themselves, not to serve others. There
are students who are not only build
ing their trenches far from the war
zone, but also Influencing others to
likewise neglect responsibility. Those
are the. students who "Bluff" Instead
of work, who "cut classes" intermit
ently or, as the Spaniards say, "a day
yes. a day no."
That we are doing war-relief work .
is our only excuse for being in col
lege today. If we are not doing any
thing to help win the war we should
not be in the University. The money
we cost the state, if we are the
"slacker student" should no longer be
wasted.
AN UNCROWDED FIELD
One of the most needed fixtures on
the campus is a typewriter doctor.
We are virtually without such an in
dividual at the present time and the
considerable-sized group of click
clickers sprinkled about in the va
rious offices in the twenty-five or
thirty buildings which make up the
University are becoming terribly dis
eased. Consumption, broken arms, tooth
ache, melancholia, pip, and a consti
utional run-down due to over-work
are a few of the ailments which the
Jowan editor has diagnosed in our own
eight machines, and a very much
wider assortment of troubles could
doubtless be found by wiser heads.
If it's a disease, our typewriters have
it The office ought to be quarantined,
as a matter of fact.
And the sad part of it all is that
we can't locate anybody who will at
tempt to remedy conditions. We have
called on everyone whom we even sus
pected had ever taken a typewriter
apart; without inquiring whether he
got it back together or not. Some
times they promised us they would be
over the next, day, but come they never
did. Our typewriters are crying out in
distress this very moment ana we re
going to call in a blacksmith in a day
or two in our desperation.
Horace Greeley said. . "Go west,
young men. Go west." We say:
"Stay here, young man. Become a
typewriter physician." It's certainly
a grand profession for a man with a
monkey wrench. Dally Iowan.
month, according-to the fortunes of
war, and the needs of our allies, our
soldiers and ourselves, we Bave food
at our tables or handle It at reasonable
profits as business men, or plant It as
farmers and gardeners.
Now Is the time to be busy with
your war garden. Last year's war
garden's were a magnificent success
more than 3,000,000 acres of back-yard
and euburb lots were planted, yielding
$350,000,000 worth of fresh products,
and a billion quarts of home-canned
and 'home-dried stuff.
This year's gardens must be bigger
and better, in acreage and organiza
tion. Order your seeds now and help
the seed men with the coming spring
rush. Order your fertilizer now, and
your lime, and help the railroads. Buy
your garden tools Immediately, and
help the hardware man. Arrange for
spring plowing, not only for yourself,
but in co-operation with your neigh
bors. Plan your garden scthat every;
thing will be planted in rows, easily
cultivated with 'a wheel-hoe. Also
plan for double cropping wherever pos
sible follow your peas and beans with
turnips and cabbage. Plant a good
variety and can or dry the surplus.
War gardens In Germany have been
better every year that shows what
experience and organization will do.
We must not let the Germans beat
us here, any more than on the western
front. War gardens should continue
long after peace returns, because they
represent economic betterment of the
nation. Plant this year's garden as
though for a ten-year war, thus bene
fitting by the personal efficiency that
war brings.

THE BIGGEST FOOD THING NOW '
PRODUCTION
By James H. Collins
(Volunteer, U. S. Food Administration)
Food administration Is not one
thing, but three conservation, control
and production. From month to
detail has the standard of quality in
the building been lowered. He de
clares that the plumbing work is the
finest and most modern and complete
of any building in the state. This is
due, of course, largely to the function
of the building. Being a chemistry
building it has laboratories on every
floor with an elaborate system of
plumbing and drainage. All of the
drainage pipes through which chem
ical wastes must pass are made of
extra high grade lead and the Joints
are all welded with pure lead, instead
of using solder as in ordinary plumb
ing. The ends are burned together
and enough lead is added to make the
Joints as perfect and free from alloy
as any place in the pipe. This is
done in spite of an increased cost in
labor of two and one-half times that
of ordinary Joint piping.
Several carloads of equipment to
construct the stationary turniture,
such as laboratory desks have been
received and a large carpenter crew
is at work now on this woodwork con
struction. The cost of furnishing this
building, with the built-in, stationary
furniture alone, excluding all movable
furniture will be $31,000.00. .
SOLDIERS MAY BE GIVEN
: RIGHT TO VOTE ABROAD
Nebraska Men Warned Not to
Forget Name and Number
of Voting Precinct
Nebraska soldiers should not forget
the name or number of their voting
precinct when they go abroad or their
more careful comrades may be voting
in absentia this fall while they will
be denied the privilege themselves
through their forgetfulness in this de
tail, if the United States follows the
example of Canada in allowing her
soldiers to vote.
A. E. Sheldon, director of the legis
lative reference bureau, has recently
received information from the Cana
dian government concerning their sys
tem of managing the great task of ex
tending the vote to her thousands of
soldiers in France. v -
Polling stations were established in
all camps, cantonments and even cn
the front and in hospitals. They en
deavored to have one voting place for
every 120 men and the military pre
siding officer had charga over these
polla. The men were required to statu
the name or number of their voting
precinct at home or some voting
precinct where they had ever voted
before. In hospitals the "poll" was
moved from cot to cot. Soldiers on
leave could vote at any polling place
on producing their pay-book and
swearing they had not vated before.
Ex-soldiers in or out of uniform were
allowed to vote upon showing their
discharge papers. In Canada all . the
voting was done in one day but the
men abroad were given from the day
after" nomination until election day
in Canada, a period of 28 days.
Voting Is a great privilege' which
should certainly be extended to all of
our soldiers either In training here or
fighting In France.
