Preserving Railroad Ties.

Consul W. d. OShaughnessy Of
Aguascalientes writes concerning the
successful treatment of railroad ties
in Mexico:
The local tie-treating plant of the
Mexican Central railroad has reached
an output of $500 ties day. making
it one of the largest concerns of its
kind in the world The local plant is
the first in the history of railway op-
Grafton to make success of the treat
ment of ties by the EbanO oil process
1t is expected that the treatment will
prolong the life of each tie from s to
IL years
The process consists of placing the
ties in huge cylinders which are then
filled with oil and subjected to heat
and pressure. After seven hours the
oil is forced out Of the cylinders and
the ties removed The average tie
treated here absoros about three gal
Ions of oil, which contains a large
amount of solid matter and il is this.
after being forced into the wood, that
acts as preventative The average
penetration into pine ties is about
two inches. in harder woods il is less
but in all cases the oil protects them
from the water. and will keep out
moisture for years The cost of the
new treatment is said TO be much less
than the old treatment of zinc chic

WILL HAVE NO STEAM LINES
Sweden Probably to Be First Countr,

Sweden will probably be the first

Sweden began in 1906 to experiment
with electric traction on its railroads.
Electric motors were tried first on a
small stretch of road. and the results
were so satisfactory that il has been
decided to electrify all the lines The
government has bought several large

stations will also supply motive power
direct to factories. the motors of which
are now run by engines burning petro-

The electric motors are to run at
60 kilometers an hour for express

ATTITUDE TOWARD
FOOTBALL CHANGES
First Season Players Have
Been Cheered While
at Practice.
NEW SPIRIT AWAKENED
Students in Every Department
Held Meetings Yesterday
to '"Talk Football

THAT is the first time l ever heard
hearty, spontaneous cheer from those
in the bleachers at football practice"
The foregoing comment of Dean
H. B. Shaw, of the School of Engi-
neering, indicates the change in spirit
that is going on now at the Univer-
sity of Missouri. Signs point to
complete reversal of feeling toward
the game in all of its phases. At last
students here have awakened to the
fact that serious football is neces-
sary for victory.
Students in every department of the
university held mass meetings yes
terday and in each case the meetings
were the most enthusiastic ever held
at the university. The exact football
situation was explained by both play
erS and other students, and prepare
ton for real support of the team was
made in every case.
Don't blow smoke in my face. 1t
doesn't tempt me, for l don't smoke,
but it might tempt other fellows.
However, l do like my ice cream"
said ]. R. Bluck at the football meeting
of the Engineers in the physics lecture
room last night.
c. l.. Ristine, captain of the Varsity
football team, asked the Engineers to
treat the football players like fresh
men if they stayed up town after 10
o'clock at night. H. S. Cove said that
the rooters should discourage any
tendency among the players to loaf
on the football field.
Robert P. Waters, assistant yell
leader. explained the plan of roofing
at Saturdays game. The Engineers are
to sit on the north bleachers, east of
the middle entrance. The men who
won't yell are to be thrown from the
bleachers into Rollins Street.

School of Journalism of the Univer-
sity of Missouri, in speech to the

night. Speeches were also made by
students, each emphasizing the i'm
portance of supporting the team and

Changes Are Made in Varsity Lineup
Practice Will be Light Tonight.

PRACTICE VIII NC IISnt oIligHt.
The Tigers were put through their
usual routine of hard work yesterday
afternoon. The scrimmage lasted
about thirty-five minutes. The Var
sity showed some improvement in
starting and charging, and scored two
touchdowns. The scrubs did not score.
Clair and Wilder traded places last
night. Clair was played at fullback
on the Varsity, while Wilder was
switched to the scrub team. Wilder
played a more aggressive game last
night.
Owing to the large list of end play
ers on the hospital list, Bluck was
tried at an end position. PiXlee in
jured his shoulder again last night,
and it is doubtful if he will be in con-
dition for tomorrow's game. Burress' s
shoulder is still sore. He probably
will not enter the game tomorrow.
Idler is still troubled with a sore back,
bat will be in the game.
Klein, who has been playing a
steady game with the scrubs at half
was given a trial at quarter on the
Varsity team last night. Deatherage
last years quarterback, was out fol-
the first time. He was used only in
light work. Alexander was given a
chance at half back.
Today the work will be lighter, sc
as to keep the men in good condition
for tomorrow's game.

signal was given for a field goal
Hackney was standing somewhere
near the 35-yard line when he received
the ball. He sent it spinning through
the air straight for the goal. This
was not the only successful attempt,
for so well did he perform this feat
that Coach Roper requested that they
call the same signal again. This was
done repeatedly, and out of eight at
tempts, five were successful.
