To the Editor OF the University Missourian:
l should like to go home to vote
for Amendment No. II but l would
have to miss three days of school work
and l hardly think l can afford to cut
classes that much.
Several fellows have asked me 20
write and find out if the professors
would excuse us for this cause.

Grand Gulf in Oregon county is the
source of a large underground river
which is known to flow into NAM
moth Spring in Arkansas. Formerly
it was possible for man to travel on
this river in boat almost to the
Spring. Along the course of the
stream, far underground, have been
found old vases and relics, supposed
to have been placed there by Indians.
Articles dropped into the stream have
been seen to come out at Mammoth
Spring, Arkansas.

The Voice of the Columns, an imita-

Edgar Allan Poe.
CThe rock of the columns belongs to
the Carboniferous Period.-Editor's
note.)
Last eve to smooth my furrowed
Lessons are long and marks are low
l wandered through the mazes all
That twine about the pillars tall;
Then l upon the earth's soft breast
Before the columns sat to rest,
When from their frozen hearts of
stone.
Came half murmur, half a moan,
Which titful rose and endless died.
oh, Lord, can this then be-" cried
1.-The voice of the monster-ferns that
grew
Upon this earth when life was newo
Among their heads the clouds did pass.
Their feet sank deep in shoreless
morass.
This rock they formed-and in the
wind
This horrid voice these plants would
find,
Waving their filmy hands in the gloom,
Tossing their countless hands in the
gloom
Another sound the silence shattered,
My teeth for very horror chattered-
And this must be the awful roar
OF the mountainous dinosaur''-
There slept forth from the columns

"A figure, at his side maid,
And me bespake, you crazy loon.
Gee, can't you let a fellow spoon!
Those shrieks and roars of which you

They come from Lowry and Dental

University Chat.

been interviewed or made to express
opinion about something, except the
columns, and they "have nothing to
say" Yet they would be most inter-
esting of ALL I wonder if they would
express amusement, boredom or inter-
est in the endlessly recurring and ever
similar life that has surged around
their feet so many years.
They watch us come in as fresh
men, happy, care free, egotistical and
certain of our great Importance. They
see us change as we advance until
we step out into the world little
wiser and a little more sober, but
still very young. Then by and by our
children come and theirs in turn go
through exactly the same process, the
same emotions and experiences, with
the old columns still looking on. They
see some of us successful in the world
and some of us fail. Some are of
good to their fellow-men and some of
good to no one, including themselves.
And most of them have hard row
for their task and the hoe is often dull.
Do the columns ever wonder how We
have the patience to be so much alike?
Do they ever smile at our youthful,
roseate illusions and grieve over their
bubble bursting in the harsh breath
of the world? Do they ever marvel
that the pygmies they have seen grow
in their shadows should have such
giant courage to toll on endlessly for
so little?
Or do they just smile kindly at our
youthful joyousness and foolishness,
follow us into the years and rejoice
with us at the happiness and good
things of life that come to us as re.
wards for labor well spent? The old
columns could give us some fine bits
of philosophy if they would, but the
interviewer is yet to come. Who can
make them talk?
The best example of University
spirit is shown, not so much on the
bleachers at the football game, but
in the library day and night with ev-
cry chair taken by students earnestly
studying until closing time.
With the present high cost of liv-

And should he rhyme to suit his time,

MRS. ALDRICH WINS
 CORDIAL APPLAUSE

Mrs Truman Aldrich Jr.. was the piano soloist with the Damrosch orchestra at Ravinia park, Chicago, last Monday night and from all accounts achieved a most brilliant triumph It was gala night at Rayinia, having been the be- ginning of the last week of Damrosch's most successful engagement
 In writing to friend in Birmingham Walter Allen Stults of Chicago, well known singer and popular voice teacher says:
 Tt will doubtless afford Birmingham and its music lovers great pleasure, not to say pride, to learn that to Mrs. Tru- man Aldrich, Jr., was accorded the sig nal honor of being chosen as soloist on the annual request programme that has become dear to patrons of Ravina park That it was an unusual tribute to her pianistic progress may be gathered from the fact that this is the first time in the history of Ravinia that such action has been taken. Mrs. Aldrich's offering was the famous Liszt B. fiat concerto, and her rendition of 1t was such as to thor oughly justify the action of the park management.
 Tt is quite unusual for a woman so slight in physique to succeed in winning so sonorous tone from piano as does Mrs. Aldrich. Her performance in this instance marked distinct advance over what she accomplished at her appearance with the Thomas orchestra few weeks ago. being bigger ard broader in every way. Her playing of the difficult caden- gas was notable for the ease with which it was accomplished, and the legato in the cantabile passages was altogether

AUGUST BROUGHT
 GOOD BUSINESS
MINGHAM SHOWED GAINS AND BELIEF IS GENERAL THAT FALL TRADE WILL HE EXCELLENT

From indications of the past few days the belief is expressed that the month ending last night at midnight will prove to have been one of fine business on the various railroads in Birmingham While no very marked increases will be shown by the Alabama Car Service re- port, a gain will be apparent However, the railroad men in Birmingham, as well as the industrial people believe that last month was an exceedingly busy one for all local lines. This applies more particularly to local business.
 For the past two weeks the Alabama Great Southern railroad is reported to have been very busy with local shipments and the result has been the operation of three or four extra freight trains every day as the business demanded. This com pany has also been handling fine move ments in through traffic and shipments for export at Mobile and New Orleans.
 The Louisville and Nashville has been making the same gains and has also been operating extra trains whenever the business picked up to such an extent as to justify 1t
 The heavy coal shipments out west lave caused the operation of several extra freight trains per day on the Frisco. The shipments of coal have not decreased to any very great extent and the extra trafns continue to be operated. The Dallas Coal company, fuel agents for several western lines, have agents here now shipping about 35 or 40 cars of coal per day from Birmingham.
 The through freight over the Seaooard has been picking up right along during the past few days and has maintained a fine average all through the summer
 The other lines have been very busy with increasing business for the past few weeks Those who are in close touch with conditions believe that the increase now is simply the beginning of the heavy fall movements that have been antici- pated by the industrial and railroad lead CTS for some time
 The various officers in the freight de- partment of local lines think the present active conditions will continue and that the railroads will be kept extremely busy during the holiday season.
