Zing
But the tall boy standing near the
door reading a calendar lodged sue
cessfully and the rolled-up newspaper
went flying on through space. If a
visitor had entered the business Office
of the University MissOurian about
that time, he would have received
twenty-four columns of newspaper full
i'm his face
The skinny boy i'm knee pants shot in
under a table and took careful look
at the circulation manager, who was
busy making out stops" Starts
and maybe some kicks" But the
manager only smiled and stroked his
head of lonesome yellow hair.
The boy was carrier and he really
wasn't to blame for what had hap
pened. His arm had been wound up
to go off at o'clock each afternoon.
Since the papers were too late for
him to get on the street, the process
began i'm the Office.
If it had been a front porch instead
of tall boys head that the carrier
had aimed at. he would have hit it.
For his arm is trained to put papers
on the porch as carefully as the
pitcher trains to shoot the ball straight
over the plate. There's clause in the
contract under which the Missourian
carrier works which says two bits
a week less whenever kicks are report
ed" So, you see, there's a reason.
Concerning Dogs.
Carrying papers is no play job but
it must have enough of incident and
accident in it to make it interesting,
judging from the conversation which
took place among the carriers one
evening.
Il found another dog on my route
last night" said the tall boy, who ha0
made the successful dodge, as he
reached over to pull from the spike
his share of orders which the circula-
tion man had just finished arrang-
ing. "Or perhaps l had better say
he came near finding me- He got
close enough to my heels to get a good
kick"
Load up with some rocks" sug-
gested the carrier who had just re-
covered from the measles.
Yes. I've done that, but every time
l do the old dog sticks on the porch
and if l let one fly it would go clear
through a window"
I've never been bitten by a dog
but I've had them feel pretty closely
of my trousers leg" said carrier No.

to join the rest of the carriers. who
were starting for the press room.

walls so wide apart and so many

tables, printers stones and presses
to hide behind, the mid" couldn't re.
frain from shooting another paper
straight at the head Of the tall boy
He missed what he aimed at and hi
something in the rear of the room
which gave a sound like the ring of a
bell 1t was heard even above the
whir of the press and the click of the
folder.
There he made the door bell, ring
and that's pretty good. I've heard car
riers tell of doing that" The freshman
engineer spoke.
We'll, I've never done that well, but
l can usually hit the porch" remarked
the tall boy. "One night l did throw
faper clear from the street into a
letter box which hung near the door
of house on Eighth street. A post
man walking up to the box couldn't
have put it in any nicer. Then, too
I've heard carriers tell of throwing
papers in through the door so they
would bounce up on the center table.
But"
4 Paper Through the Window.
I've never thrown papers through
doors but did put one through win
dow the other night" said the junior
engineer as he threw the paper sack
from his shoulder and leaned heavily
against the table And the astOnish-
ing thing about it was that when l
appeared at the door to make it
square with the woman of the house,
she refused any pay"
Just then the narrOw-chinned fresh
man. who had been resting on a long
counter with a French book under his
face, raised up, pinched his nose with
his glasses, and began to tell some
thing about the pretty lawns in West
wood. He said they shouldn't be walk
ed upon.
The senior journalist had stopped
getting pointers on mechanical jour-
nalism to join in the conversation, and
the high school basketball star, who
helps in the mailing. stepped up to
listen. He used to carry papers him
self.
There was the whole force of Mis-
sourian carriers-six in all, ranging in
ages from 16 to q and in school
standing from seventh grade i'm the
common schools to senior in the Uni
versity: freshman in arts and science,
freshman in engineering. Junior i'm the
University High School. seventh grad
er in the public schools. junior in en-
gineering and senior in journalism; a
Jayhawker, two Illinoisans and three
natives-each one telling something
about his experiences as a newspaper
carrier. If the reporter had happened
around just then he could have got a
good story. FIR.

Crime would diminish 200 per cent if we would stop producing it. The very system we have of living one upon the other in the mad rush for money blinds us from seeing where the prime fault lies who know the early life of this woman was not the direct cause lead ing to her crime. It is just as much crime for the commonwealth to take life as it is for an individual When member of society commits murder that person should be put where they will be safe and let them use the rest of their lives at useru1 labor for the commonwealth.

 Sir-Has it yet occurred to those 5Kno are clamoring for a suspension of the death sentence declared against Mrs Wakefield that the sentiment against her is largely the result of the demands of a portion of the advanced women of Connecticut for equal rights rfor the sexes?
