The preserve is surrounded and

hills and fringes the streams. In the
valleys and on the more expansive

buffalo" grass for winter grazing.
There are several natural lakes and
waterfowl is constantly increasing.
The use Of firearms is not permitted

THEY ADVERTISE TOO.

Clippings from papers printed In
towns where the University Glee Clu'
sang recently show that everywhere
the audiences were well pleased. The
Glee Club and Symphony Orchestra
are forms Of University life that ad-
vertise the University as well as foot
ball, basketball, track and other ath-
letic sports.
Trips for these organizations do the
University good. They show to the
people of the state that we are taught
the aesthetic as well as the profess
sional and other forms of higher edu-
cation. In Slater a man told one of
the members of the club that he was
glad the Glee Club came there for
now he knew that something besides
football was taught here.

YOCR AID CLUB.

The Ad Club carnival and dance
probably is more representative of the
entire student body than any other
stunt Each school has one or more
stunts every year, but these are known
as department stunts. The Ad Club
stunt calls on men and women from
every division in the University.
Members of the Ad Club are chosen
from each division, the county and sec
tional clubs and the Woman's Council.
The aim of the club is general-to
advertise the University. Cooperation
from every member and from every
student can best bring this aim to
a profitable conclusion. The annual
stunt is truly school activity-not a
division stunt.

WINTERS EARLY LOAFING.

Winter is our most painpered sea
son. 1t drifts lazily through its al.
lotted three months. 1t loafs lavish.
ly Instead of compressing within its
time limit its varied stock of produc.
tion, it reserves whirlwind activity
for the last 1t allows the invasion d
mild days and sometimes weeks OF
Indian Summer" But its closing
days rival the hustle and accomplish
ment of a backward Congress.
This winter trait causes a distorted
arrangement of weather. Early win
ter allows fall to usurp its accredited
place. December very generally is
more fall than winter. And then the
hostile performance of late winter
forces hard wintry weather far into
March. All around, this month more
properly should be included within
the winter period than December.
Winter with its ill-timed activity is the
grim offender

THE WEBB LAW.

Probably the greatest victory ever
won by the prohibition forces of this
country was the passage over Presi-
dent Taft's veto of the Webb Bill
prohibiting the shipment of intoxi-
cants into dry territory. The passage
of the bill against great opposition
shows that the national legislative
body has not been exempt from the
temperance sentiment which has
been spreading over the country in
recent years.
The chief opposition to the bill was
made under the pretext that it is
unconstitutional. the contention being
that it gives the state the right to in
terfere with interstate commerce. The
leaders in the Senate did not consider
the bill-that way. Senator McCum-
Der pointed out that Congress has not
attempted to give the states the right
to interfere with commerce. but has
simply declared liquor an outlaw and
prescribed conditions under which it
may enter interstate commerce.
The Webb Bill forbids the shipment
of liquor to dealers in any dry state.
II gives the state authorities the right
to investigate the intent Of the ship
per of every consignment of liquor IN
to prohibition state.
Under the law the state authorities
will have the right to seize every ship
ment Of liquor into a dry state and
to compel the liquor dealers to produce
evidence that it is intended for per-
sonal consumption.
The mere passage OF the bill, how
University Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1908-1916, 1913-03-06

ever, is only the first step in the pro-
cess. To be useful the law must be
backed by a vigorous enforcement on
the part of the state officers. The
liquor interests are basing their hopes
of the future on this point.
E. A. Clauss, first vice-president of
the Anhauser- Busch Brewery Com
pany of St. Louis. one of the leading
shippers of beer, said recently in a
newspaper report: The Webb Law
will have little material effect upon
our business, simply because it will
not be enforced. In Georgia and
Tennessee where prohibition has been
voted by law, you can go into any large
city and buy all the beer you want"
This is true, but the conditions re-
ferred to are the fault of the officials
and not the prohibition law. This
statement illustrates the attitude of
the liquor interests. AS long as law
enforcement is lax they will continue
to thrive and it WILL be only when
the people take the matter into their
own hands and let it be understood
that the laws must be enforced that
the power of the predatory liquor in
terests will be broken.

A St Louis paper devotes three
quarters of a page, including vari-
colored pictures and assorted sizes of
type, to a discussion of "How to Pro-
pose Marriage" Unfortunately the
writer neglected to consider the pos
sibilities of the burning "pome," the
tinseled valentine and the long dis
tance telephone.

OF course, it is pretty bad for John
Bull to have his store windows smash
ed and his country homes blown up,
but just think what he is spared as
long as the suffragettes don't all begin
to sob for the ballot.

W THEY'RE PLAYING HANDBALL
Irish Game Is the Best All-Round Exercise,
Prof. Brewer Says--Most of the NJ.
U. Players Are Faculty Men.

a very intricate and difficult game.
Most of the players here are facult.
members. or the student players, th'
majority are tennis players who re
sort to handball in the winter to re.
place their tennis. Groves, Barton
and others of the football men also
play the game. 1t is good game fol-
conditioning football players, base
ball players, wrestlers and boxers
1t makes them move quickly, de-
velOps the eye and makes them light
on their feet.
AS a flesh reducer the game has NO
equal, and in any city athletic club
or Y. NJ. c. A. one can see gray
haired, portly men, some so years old,
batting the little rubber sphere up
against the wall and perspiring and
painting for all they are worth. Ten
mis- players by playing handball can
keep in practice all winter.
The game originated in Ireland, no
one seems to know when. 1t was
introduced in America about 1910 and
since then the Americans have be-
come the most expert players. The
game is played against a wall on
which there is a space about 20 feet
square lined out and in front of which
there is 6O-foot court The server"
bOunces a ball of semi-hard rubber
against the wall and his opponent is
supposed to return the ball into the
space marked off on the wall, either
catching it on the fly or letting it
bounce once on the floor. If the ball
is knocked out of the court it counts
one point for the opponent.
One. two. four or six may play the
game, though six make the court rath-
er crowded and it is hard to keep out
of each others way and to keep the
bail from hitting you, which counts as
a point against you. If the game is
played very much it is usually neces-
sary for the player to use a padded
glove, as much play is too hard on
the bare hand.
A CLOSED in" court is one in which
the game is played against the four
walls, the ceiling and the floor. This
makes very intricate game, as one
has to calculate angles and place" /
the ball with a strict nicely. The
of CLOSED in court"
IS that it cannot be ventilated. as no
windows can be placed in the walls
against which the ball has to bounce.
The game is 21 points. AS an in
loor individual game IT is unexceIlcd.
Plans are being made by the ath-
etic department for the erection of
wo clay outdoor courts back of gym
lasium this spring. The game has
lot been used for intercollegiate COM
petition yet, although most of the
Universities and colleges have courts
md good players. C. F. M.

MACHINE PURIFIES THE AIR
School Of Engineering Has OzonatOr
Which Is Used in Crowded Rooms,

The School of Engineering has an
ozonator, a machine for purifying the
air in rooms. A motor sucks in the
air through cloth which sifts out
the dust. An electrical discharge, sim
liar to artificial lighting, produces
ozone. which is oxygen in a nascent
and highly active state. The ozone is
famed into the room, giving OF a
strong odor like that noticed after a
thunderstorm. When burning cigar
is held before the machine the odor
Of the smoke cannot be detected.
Ozonators are used in libraries and
other public gathering places where
there is need of purifying the air.
