NEW MAIL POUCH EXCHANGE
More Rapid System for Delivering

More Rapid System for Delivering
| Bags at Small Stations Invented.
A contrivance for the rapid ex-
change of mail pouches has lately
been invented, and is now being put
on the market by the United States
mail Service company. Albert Hupp,
the inventor of the system, says it is
merely the result of his calculations
while watching the exchange of
pouches by the old system.
Some thirty-five or forty years ago
man would stand on the platform of
a station and hand the pouches to the
mail clerk" he said last night. Then
came the iron arm from which the
tpouch was suspended and snatched by
the clerk as tho train sped past.
always wondered If this couldn't be
remedied and finally concluded to in
vent contrivance which would do
the work quicker and better. This is
the result
Mr.. Hupp says there are about 49,
600 catcher stations where trains do
not stop, and the only method of TAX
ing mail aboard is from an iron arm
and only a few pouches can be taken
on at once. BY his method any amount
Of mail can be received and unloaded
The time saved in transit being one of
the essential factors in the delivery
of mail, this merit alone is enough to
pay the government to introduce it.
AS the government sets aside a half
million dollars each year for the re-
tpair Of torn pouches nearly this entire
amount will be saved, the only cost
being from the usual wear received
while not in transit.
The question Of space was one of
the strongest objections brought
against the contrivance, but Mr.. Hupp
Offered two postal clerks who ques-
toned his ability to get it into a small
enough space to be used, a wager of
$1,000 each that he would succeed.
He still has the thousand.
Newspapers are the principal gain
'ers by the new method, time being
one of the essentials in their business
The method Of delivery of the mail
by Mr.. Huff's method is unique in it's
way. the pouches being protected from
Injury by guard rail that shoots it
down an incline instead of running
a chance Of it being drawn under
meath the wheels by the suction of the
air.

t"Pious Brigands" Made Up for Their
Abstinence and Chastity.
The sack of the richest city in Chris.
tendon, which had been the bribe Of
fered to the Crusaders to violate their
oaths, was made in the spirit Of men
who, having once broken through the
trammels of their VOWS, are reckless
to what length they go. Their absti
nence and their chastity once aban
doned, they plunged at once into or

cry were everywhere present; cries
and lamentations and the groans OF
victims were heard throughout the
city; for everywhere pillage was unre-
strained and lust unbridled. The city
was wild in confusion. Mobiles, old
men, women, and children ran to and
fro trying to save their wealth, their
honor and their lives. Knights, foot
soldiers and Venetian sailors jostled
each other in a mad scramble for
plunder.
Threats of i'll treatment, promises of
safety if wealth were disgorged, min
gled with the cries of many sufferers.
These pious brigands, as Gunther aptly
calls them. acted as though they had
received a license to commit every
crime. Sword in hand, houses and
churches were pillaged- Every insult
was offered to the religion of the con-
quered citizens. Churches and monas-
teries were the richest storehOuses,
and were therefore this first buildings
to be rifled. Monks and priests were
selected for insult. The priests robes
were placed by the Crusaders on their
horses. The icons were ruthlessiy
torn down from the screens or were
broken. The sacred buildings were
ransacked for relies or their beauti-
full caskets. The chalices were stripp-
ed Of their precious stones and con-
verted into drinking cups. The sacred
plate was heaped with ordinary plum
der.
The soldiers made the chief church
of Christendom the scene Of their pro-
family. A prostitute was seated in the
patriarchal chair, who danced, and
sang a ribald song for the amusement
of the soldiers. Nicetas, in speaking
of the desecration of the Great Church,
writes of the utmost Indignation of
the barbarians who were incapable of

GET THE RIGHT START

On the freshman year depends, il
large measure, the good to be derived
from university training. If the
freshman gets the right start he will
be good senior. And the right place
to start is not at a pool hall or pic
ture show. The habits acquired in
the first year are pretty sure to stick
throughout the university period.
Studies are important-to the fresh.
man as well as to the upper class.
man. Studies should not be neglected
for any other activity. The univer-
sity is an institution of many inter
ests, however, and all of them are of
value. No student can participate
. in all. No student should try to par
ticipate in many. But every fresh
man should have a part in some in
terests aside from classroom work.
The freshman should attend assem-
bly, regularly. He should attend foot.
ball mass meetings-and also see the
games. The department organization
should receive a part of his attention
and work. A class "cut" on stunt"
day may result in a slight loss in that
lesson, but the loss will be repaid
generously in spirit and enthusiasm for
his university life generally.
There are many societies, clubs and
organizations-debating literary and
others-to which time may be given
profltably. Some of these activities
should be participated in-not to the
loss in studies, but IT, the advance
Eent OF liberal education.

UNIVERSITY DAY At THE FAIR

University Day at the State Fair at
Sedalia should be the biggest day of
all. Visitors at the fair will look to
that day for an opportunity of get
ting a better knowledge of what our
University is. They will take advan-
tage of the chance to find out whether
they would be pleased to have their
sons and daughters members Of the
student body of the University of Mis-
souri,.
Every student should make special
effort to be at the fair on University
Day, and every one ought to wear an
Amendment No. II" button. 1t is
nearing election time, when the mill
tax will pass or will fail. Its passing
means more to the University than
merely an increased amount of money;
1t means the goodwin OF the people OF
Missouri and that is the thing really
desired. The students of the Univer-
sity seldom have the opportunity of
going out all together to boost for
their alma mater Alumni, former
students, and friends of the University
will be at the fair on University Day
and will unite with the students in
making this day grand advertising
feature.
The people of Missouri want to be
shown. 1t is cup to" the students of
the University to "show them" on

How Chicago Grew.

The official announcement of the
Ienumerators of the United States cen
sus that the population of Chicago is
|2,1S5, ,1S3 is Of special interest to Cana
dians because, in many respects, Chi
|cago is the prototype of the. great in
land cities which We expect to come
to their own in our western provinces
during the next four or five decades
While there are many particulars in
which we may reasonably hope to
profit by her unfortunate mistakes
and many developments incidental to
her phenomenal growth which we have
every expectation may be avoided, the
lesson OF her energy, her concentra-
ton and her whole-souled loyalty to
herself Is one which may, with con-
siderable advantage, be taken to heart.
Seventy years ago. Chicago had a
population Of less than 5000 and was
only one of half-dozen thriving little
cities of the Middle West, each of
which had apparently the same founda-
tion for hopes Of ultimate greatness. In
that time Chicago has grown from
fifty-fourth place among the cities of
the United States to second, and the
reason Is more singleness of pur-
pose than the possession of any COM
pelling natural advantages. Chicago
has never wavered from her intention
OF becoming great; she has been
flamboyant and even hysterical in
her pursuit Of it, but she has made
good" to use the expressive vernacu-
lar of that section. Her leading cit
lzens realized early in her existence
that material success came to the city,
as it comes to the individual, who goes
out to find it, and they have kept on
acting on that supposition until there
are only three other cities in the world
who number more inhabitants within
their boundaries. Building up Chi
cago was worked out on the same
lines as building up any purely busi-
ness proposition. The city's advan-
tages were advertised; the agencies
whose cooperation were necessary
were shown that it was to their ad-
to lend their support; more
than all. civic enthusiasm was never
permitted to flag and, if other sections
Of the country were sometimes wearied
OF the constant singing of Chicago's
praises as a mercantile and Industrial
centre, they kept in mind enough of
what had been dinned into their ears
to influence their actions when the
time came to lend their support. Chi
cago in a word. is a shining examnle
of what can be done by intelligent
consistent and sustained energy. That
She has fallen few hundred thousand

Will Advertise M. U.

Fo the Editor Of the University Missourian:
A pleasing feature of this years
enrolment in the School of Journalism
is the large number of states and coun-
tries represented. This is significant
in at least two ways. The work of
the department has been so successful
that it is attracting attention not only
in the United States, but also in for
eign lands. Nearly all of these stu
dents came to the University of Mis-
souri, after looking about for ''the
best school of journalism" In the
second place, they will have a good
word for the department when they
go home. This has been the record of
each years students.

STRICKEN FROM
COURT RECORD
Statement That Ballinger
Shirked His Duty.
SECURES ONE VINDlCATlON

Secretary Denies Imputation Made in
Injunction Proceedings in Certain
Land Cases Before the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia
and at His Request the Charges Are
Expunsed From the Records.
Washington, May 4.-Secretary Bal
1nger received what might be called
one vindication in the supreme court
of the District of Columbia when a
charge that he had shirked his duty
as secretary of the interior was or
dered expunged from the record.
In an injunction proceeding in con-
nection with the homestead claims on
the Siletz Indian reservation in Ore
gon the petition alleged that because
Mr.. Ballinger, as lawyer, had been
counsel for some of the claimants, he
refused to pass upon the case when
he came into Office and delegated the
work to his first assistant, Frank
Pierce, and had therefore refused to
give the benefit of his judgment, and
had therefore shirked his duty.
Secretary Ballinger denied the impu-
tation, declaring that the cases had
been referred to Mr.. Pierce in the reg
ular course of business, as the latter
had direct charge of general land office
affairs, and the court struck out the
charge
