MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 4.-Four bandits

train and locomotive crews with weapons,

bandits detached the mail and express
cars.

Express officials here say the robbers
did not secure over 5000. Four charges
of dynamite were used, and the ex-
plosions blew out one side Of the express
car and completely demolished the safe.
The bandits carried away fifty pieces of
registered mail.

mail from Chicago and ST. Louis to New
Orleans. but post Office officials stated the
mail was light on this run, !

Editor the Missourian: Too many
students are going through the Uni
versity by pulling the right string at
the right time rather than by pushing
the right thing all the time. Often
students in arts and science receive
an A. B. degree and are cast upon
the world with no aim. These stu
dents are always hoping that some
thing will turn up" or that some
one they know will give them easy
Jobs at salaries never less than $1,000
a year.
1t will be interesting to note that
these same students are the ones who
have grated" through their school
career. They have been able to make
fair grades and have done as little
work as possible. always willing 20
let someone else help them. May this
not be the. reason why there are 80
many good positions at the top Of the
ladder that are not filled? This class
of students can always fill job that
is already filled. But can they I'LL
the ones that are open? The same
case applies to the students studying
for a profession. Unless he takes ad-
vantage Of the opportunities offered
him in school, there will be better
lawyers. better engineers, better doc
tors and better journalists than he ia
and pull will do him very little good.
He must have acquired the art of
pushing. II he has pushed himself
through the University, he will push
himself into good position and into
success. A. NJ.

GYM FOR EFFICIENCY

The object Of physical training %
not primarily muscle building, but to
put the body In such condition that 1t
will give its owner the highest de-
gree Of efiiciency when It b called MP
on. And yet many men spend several
years training their minds to be equal
to any test but neglect their bodies
20 that they can not get the greatest
amount Of enicient work from their
minds.
Physicians agree that the greatest

both mental and physical. II fresh
air. Many trainers insist that only
minimum Of exercise be taken in
doors and that cross-country running
in all kinds of weather IL the most
beneficial form of exercise. There's
a hint for the student who studies
hard all day and evening and always
feels tired and nearly every night has
a slight headache. Rest your brain
by relaxing from all mental work: get
out in the fresh air and let the oxygen
build up the worn-out brain tissues.
At the University Of Missouri at al
most any time Of day the student can
find something to do at the gymnas-
ium. The golf links and tennis courts
offer opportunities for pleasing out
door exercise in good weather and the
golf links can be used for cross-coun-
try running at all times Of the year.
Football, baseball, track and soccer
give plenty of fresh air exercise in
their seasons.
In the gymnasium there are many
classes. or plenty Of forms Of exercise
for those who do not want to join

classes have calisthenics, games and
apparatus work. Clubs have been or
ganized for wrestling and boxing. A
good way to get in the proper condi-
ton to study is to take little mild
wrestling and produce a normal ply

GREEK AND JOURNALISM.

Every person who expects to enter
the newspaper profession should study
Greek-not for an mountaineering
with the language itself particularly,
but for the drill in accuracy.
The beginner in Greek becomes &C
quainted with funny little marks
above letters, some slanting one way
and some another. He soon learns
that without these peculiar marks,
set in the right place and at the pro-
per angle. his Greek is not Greek. For
a whole year he struggles with
breathing marks and accents. Con-
slant study, patience and practice are
required in the writing of correct
Greek. Absolute accuracy is de-
manded.
As every little dot or mark in
Greek script is important and proper
in its place, but useless and wrong
when out of place, SO there are in
journalism points of extreme import
ance. Improper usage brings trou-
BILE. The eye of the city editor and
the copy reader must be as quick to
see mistakes in copy and to find the
little dangers that may be hidden
there. as the Greek student is to OBJ
serve the mistakes in his prose COM
position. The reporter. too, must be
as careful in the gathering of news
and in writing his story, using only
facts, as the Greek student is in ar
ranging the phrases in their correct
order and observing the proper use
of lenses.
The mastery OF Greek demands the
same thing as success in journalism
accuracy, ACCURACY.

COLUMBIA HOMES.

More than half the students who
attend the University Of Missouri
have rooms in the homes Of Colum-
bia. For the boy whose pocket-book
is lean, work is supplied; for the lad
who is spending his first winter away
from home. a home-like friendliness
drives away the blues; for the boy
whose studies are hard and discour-
aging. a pleasant and hopeful word
is ready; for the student who is neg
ligent of duty. there is a word of kind
advice and caution.
To the good mothers and fathers
in Columbia. many University gradu-
ates owe. in large part, their success
in business and in character. Do
students really appreciate the hospi-
tality, kindness and helpfulness of
Columbia homes? Do those who take
students into their homes realize the
influences for good and for helpful
ness they may exert!

A Cause Of Colds.

Editor the Missourian: May not
one cause Of 80 many colds among
students of the University be the i'm
proper heating and ventilation of the
class rooms? Many times a class
room il SO cold that the occupants
are not comfortable in their over
coat and cloaks. The same students
who have spent an hour in this frigid
atmosphere may be found the next
hour in room with the temperature
at IS and the windows closed. Yet
II a student commits the objectionable
sin Of sleeping in class, he is severely
criticised by his professor. Is it any
wonder that we have colds?>

CATTLE FEEDING TESTS MADE

Cattle feeding experiments are be-

of grinding grain. Former expert

corn is better relished and digested
than ear corn, but the advantages

Now that cattle have risen in price,

BOB FLEMING FIRES THE COP.

Policemen Have Him Arrested But
6ob's Boss Around His Own Building.
Special to mes-Republican.
Des Moines. Nov. 17-An interesting
prosecution Is before the police court
in Des Moines. It may terminate in
statement from the supreme court
as to the rights Of different persons.
Robert Fleming. one Of the owners
Of the Fleming block, elected two po-
licemen who were nosing around in
the block one Sunday ostensibly for
the purpose Of getting evidence that a
private barber shop operated there
was doing business on Sunday. They
had Fleming arrested. F1eming's at
torneys make the broad claim that the
business block is not public place.
that the owner has a right to insist on
the retirement there from objection
able persons and that the policemen
were there as trespassers.
The police Judge is in a quandary
as to how to decide the case. He will
probably hold that police officers have
rights that are above those OF common
people in public places but not in pri-
vate places and that they had no
other right in the Office building than
that of any and every person who
might enter. Unless he so holds an
appeal will be taken.
