Columbia, Mo,--Higher education slipped into reverse gear at the Uni versity of Missouri this year, so that now quest for a college degree in cludes instruction to an art usually studied before kindergarten days -- how to talk! . Latest addition to the I[issouri cur riculum is no course in public speak: ing of drama, but plain facts on how to say "How do you do" tn your next door neighbor or expound your poli tical views to 'the family without in. sertion of too many "ers" and '"uhs". ~The new course, initiated by Dr, Loren D. Reld, speech instructor, who has discovered that one out of every 20 college. students knows how to talk, is known as the "Speech Clinic". Started a year ago, with an enroll ment of one student; the new subject this fall has attracted 45. Some of the problems the collegiate course on how to talk is seeking to solve are: A quarterback who can't be heard loudly that the other team could cavesdrop and whose signal calling is so poor his teammates oiich nisin derstand and run the wrong play. A freshman who stutters when calicd on to recite. A tezcher whose voieg is so weak she can't be heard by students in the back row. Dr, Réid conducts his course on the theory that most poor. talking is a matter of bad babit; that if the bad habits can be broken--*"construction of an entirely new, habie of articula tion," he puts it--the student will have normal speech. Peggy Joyce "To Wed Again Picks Fifth Mate. Old Lon- doner Is Professor and 'Steeplechaser London, Eng.--Peggy Joyce, with four husbands behind her, has cho- sen Vivian Jackson, 30-year-old pro- fessor of astro-physics at London University and gentleman. steeple- chaser, as her fifth. } The couple said receitly they in- tended to marry as soon as Jackson obtains a divorce from his = present wife--probably next spring. Divorce proceedings already have been instit- uted, -he said. Mutual love of horses was largely responsible for their attachment, Jackson revealed, after Peggy had suggested demurely that he do the talking, : "You sec, we both love horses," Jackson said. "That is what started us. I have given Miss Joyce one of my. favorites, but 1 have half a 'dozen more. "1 only ride my own horses," he explained, "and 1 wouldn't want Miss Joyce's friends in America to think that she was marrying a regular jockey." The wedding, he said, would take place ir London and 'they would live ever 'after in his country home near Cranleigh, Surrey, He added that he and Peggy would devote most of their time and atten- tion to racing, Peggy Joyce, christened Margaret Upton, now, well ovr 40 years old, according to best account, ran away from school when she was 17 and married Everett Archer, of Denver. Divorce tollowed and she was wext married to Sherburne Hopkins, of Washington. That marriage ended in divorce two years afterward. On January 22, 1920, she was mar- ried to J. Stanley Joyce, of Chicago. They were divorced. in November, 1921, : . Her .ast marrlage was to the Swedish Count Gosta Morner, in June, 1924, After that marriage had ended in divorce in 1928, Peggy on several occasions announced her '"engage- ment" to varlous men, but none rip ened into! marriage. Tables Turned Writes the Chatham News: --A topsy-turvy marriage has «ome to light through an application for divorce made recently m Los' Ang- eles. The husband is suing the wife for the divorce and wt the same time demanding alimony; and since th: man has been doing the work in the home, while the wife has been the wage carner, throughout their mar- vied lire, the demand for alimony seems to be as reasonable as it is in other divorce cases where the cir- cumstances are reversed. For nearly seven years this man has only been employed periodically. For the last year and a half failing hea!th has kept him at home. His wife, meanwhile, had a good job teaching school; so he became cook bottle - washer, and housekeeper, while she acted as breadwinner. Cne of the clauses in his divorce suit complains that she criticized his house-keeping, refused to take him to places of -amusement, and got mend her clothing, All this, in our tareless conception of humor, adds up to a good joke. A vaudeville comedian could have a good deal of fun with it. But underneath the surface it. is anything but funny; and iv reflects the kind of "tragedy that must have been all too common in the depres: sion years. : There is an old-fashioned idea that woman's, place 'is in the home. We havestrayed far from that ideal in these modern times; and now the woman's right to be the wage earner is generally recogrized--and it has heen a fortunate thing for many families "during the past: few years -| when the husband has been deprived of work, while the wife has been able to become. a provider through her ability to fill positions open to her.. But the system is all wrong-- at least as far as the husbands are con- cerned. Women may displace men in business. circles; but mer will never displace women as managers of the home Nor should they -be required to try it.

Filterable viruses, producers of diseases such as the common cold, influenza, yellow fever and infant- ile paralysis, have long defled 1s0- lation. The centrifuge, detised at the laboratories of the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation, now makes it possible not only to separate them, but also to isolate them in pure, concentrat@a form. The machine was described in! the Journal, an official publication | of the Rockefeller Institute for Medi- cal Research. Whirls_At_ Terrific Speed The centrifuge is encrosed in a vacuum which whirls the vivrus-con- taining fluids at™h speed of 20.000 revolutions per minute representing a maximum contrifugal force in the fluid of 95,000 times gravity. This tremendous force causes the viruses to be deposited out in the form of a sediment. . "The centrifuge was successfully applied for the separation and con | centration of yellow fever virus." the report said. "The major portion ol the virus was sedimented out of the suspension when centrifuged for three hours at a speed of 25,000 revolutions per aunute tn ract, it. became so firmly packed to the bow tom off'. . "The speed a1 the centrituge is Lisited only by wie strength of the material of which the rotor is made. 5 1 that the fluid could be poured It carries 16 tubes, each of whien conveniently accommodates seven cubic centimeters of had "Although we have not kad an. apportunity to study the behavior of other viruses except yellow fever in this centrifuge, we believe that it should prove a use'ul instrument in the study of filterable disease producing agents, including the smallest known." $62,600,000 Spent By Auto Tourists ] Quebec.--The Quebec Automobile | Club estimated that motoring tourists "Who visited Quebec this summer left! $62,000,000 in the province, a 25 per, cent. increase over last year, Tour | Ing automobiles in the province num: | bered 588,817 during the season just | ended, There are more than 6,000 women doctors on the medical register in Great Britain.
