WHERE ARE OLD.TIME GOURDSl
Dean Williams Is Seeking Supply
for Missouri Dinner.

Are Missouri gourds Of the old
fashioned type. usable for drinking
purposes, to be obtained anywhere in
this good state?
This question. asked by Dean Wal
ter Williams of the School of Journal
ism of the University of Missouri, has
as yet found no answer. The closing
event of Journalism Week at Colum-
bia will be a Made-in-Missouri dinner
at which the food, drink and souve-
Mrs will all be products of this state,
grown, produced or manufactured in
Missouri. Mr.. Williams has been
seeking a supply of Missouri-grown
gourds for use at the dinner, but the
gourd seems to have entirely disap-
peared.
During Major Henry A. 'Newman's
life time," said Mr.. Williams, zone
could obtain drinking gourds from
him but since his death apparently
none are grown except those for home
use. The sanitary drinking cup has
sent the gourd to join Jonah"

UNIVERSITY MISSOURIAN
CMonday, April II, 1915)
THE ART OF SHOWING.

Showing is one of Columbia's fine
arts; the people Joy in it. All that is
lacking to make this joy complete is
a subway.
Where else will you find people
crowding into line twenty-four hours
ahead of time to buy theater tickets.
Not on some one big occasion, but
very often. On the night of the per-
formance the crowds begin to gather
before the doors are open, and when
they are opened everybody rushes in
as if he were late.
How many other places can you
find where the people will stand in
line for half or three-quarters of an
hour, showing, jamming and pushing
to get into a moving picture show?
This is one of the most interesting
sights in Columbia. Nearly every
night, and particularly on Friday and
Saturday nights, the movie devotees
start line at the ticket window. The
line grows; others come, and, seeing
friends ahead, rush to have them buy
the tickets. The whole place becomes
crowded Later comers can scarcely
squeeze their way through to the
friends near the head of the line.
Sometimes it is impossible, and then
they call an order for their tickets
over the heads of the crowd.
The window opens, and the first
man is rushed past it in such hurry
that he hardly has time to spend his
dime. One man buys seven tickets,
two for himself, one here, four over
there. Then begins a gallant strug-
gle to give these tickets to the right
persons before he is showed through
the door. They crowd in from behind,
he tries to hold back, it is jam, jam,
jam. But somehow everybody gets
his tickets, nobody gets inside with
out a ticket, all are on time.
And so it goes. Whether the peo-
pie are held up for a few moments
they begin to shove-shove, jam and
laugh. Columbia likes it.

BUSINESS PSYCHOLOGY.

A business usually develops a psy-
chology peculiar to that one business
alone. This psychology has to do
with the study of men and women
from the commercial and professional
point of view, something different
from the way the student of psychol-
ogy would study persons.
But whether one calls this by the
academic name or only observation,
it is interesting study. Walk down
Broadway sometime and see if the
business men look at you in the same
way. You will probably notice that
the shoe-dealer invariably glances at
your feet. The haberdasher looks at
your clothes. The barber seems to
notice that you need shave or that
your hair needs trimming. The ply
sician seems to say in his glance that
your health Is not of the best.
These business men become in a
way expert readers of character,
habits and manners at a glance.
Theirs, of course, is commercial
psychology but one long and close
study has made invaluable. If one
could record the unconscious work.
ings of the mind in this analysis by
men in different lines of business, the
science of psychology could have some
valuable data.
