Among Activities.
Two thousand persons are now
receiving regularly the bulletins
which are issued by the School
of Journalism of the University
of Missouri. Eleven bulletins of
the series have been published
already and two are in course of
preparation. One of these will
be a Desk Book" and the other
"The Journalist Library" The
latter will give brief reviews of
books which have been written
on the newspaper profession.
The latest bulletin to be issued,
Journalism Week, 1915" con-
tains extracts of the speeches
made by Missouri editors and
others during Journalism Week
at the University. The bulletin
will be Illustrated. 1t will be sent
free on application.
The School of Journalism is as
sisting Missourians in other
ways than through it's bulletin
service and direct teaching of
students. j. B. Powell, instruct
or in advertising, is secretary of
the Associated Advertising Clubs
Of Missouri, and he has made a
number of addresses before Mis-
souri, business men. The pur-
pose of the associated clubs is to
encourage the formation of more
town clubs and to promote bet
ter Advertising and merchandise
ing methods.
Other methods Of extension
work are the issuing of a news
paper desk book, the prepare
ton of advertisements for bust
ness firms, and the holding of the
annual Journalism Week in May
of each year. Regular courses
are given in the summer.

N. U. SERVICE TO
PEOPLE INCREASES

Report of Board of CuratOrs to
Governor Major Tells How
Extension Work Grows.
The University of Missouri is
steadily becoming of more ser
vice to the people of the state.
Not only is the enrolment at
Columbia increasing, but the
number of persons who are re-
ceiving instruction through ex-
tension work is much larger
than ever before.
According to the annual re-
port of the Board of Curators to
Governor Elliott w. Major, many
Improvements have been made
at the University. An apprOp-
ration for a new plant for the
manufacture of hog cholera Sc
rum led to the purchase of APP
p~roximately 80 acres of land
near Columbia. Buildings have
been erected on this site and
are about ready for use. A new
biology building and a livestock
judging pavilion have been COM
pleted during the last year. A
new library building will be oc-
cupied this summer. Consider
siderable improvements have
made in the athletic fields for
both men and women, without
cost to the state, as they have
been paid from the gate receipts
at football and other games.
The Agricultural Experiment
Station has issued nineteen bull
letins and circulars and five re-
search bulletins during the year.
The detailed soil survey has been
completed in five additional
counties, making a total of thir-
ty-nine counties surveyed thus
far. Nineteen soil and crop ex-
pertinent fields are being con-
Quoted. Some of the projects
being carried on by the Agricul-
tural Extension Service are NOV
able schools of agriculture and
home economies, boys and girls
clubs, hog cholera eradication
campaigns, and county agricul-
tural agents. The University
Extension Service also reaches
many persons.
: The total net registration for
the year 1914-15 is 1889, as COM
pared with 1924 for 1914, an
increase of 215.

A SHOOT
~ OF GOLD QUARTZ
W. AT NATIONAL, NEV.
Single Ore Shoot Has Yielded
About $4,000, OOO-Ore Aver
ages $4,000 a Ton.

During the four years follow
ing 1908 a single ore shoot at
National, New, a previously lit
tle-known mining district, yield
ed about $4,000 900 in gold and
is one of the most remarkable
and interesting bodies of high
grade ore discovered in the West.
The district lies on the western
slope of Santa Rosa Range in
Humboldt County near the Ore
gon State line. The mineral de-
posts of this range, like those
of many other parts of New
ada, may be divided into two
principal classes, younger gold
and silver bearing veins that &C.
cur in or near the Tertiary vol
canic rocks, and much older gold
and silver bearing veins that Oc-
cur in s%edimentary and associat-
ed granite rocks. In this area
the older deposits are but poor
ly represented and have Welded
only a small output, but one of
the younger or Tertiary veins
has locally been wonderfully
rich, yielding much ore averag-
ing $50 a pound. During the
early period of activity a few
thousand tons of low-grade ore,
assaying about 500 a ton, were
thrown on the dump of the Nat
ional mine, but the ore shipped
averaged about $50, 900 a ton in
gold having a value of $1,000 an
ounce, the remainder being sill
yer.
The veins are inclosed in latte,
rhyoclite, basalt, basalt tuff, and
trachyte. They consist O. shear
ed rock a few feet wide traversed
by quartz seams containing stib-
mite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsen-
opyrite, zinc blende, and galena.
Cinnabar was found in one of
the veins. Most of the veins
that carry much stibnite are
poor in gold and silver. Native
gold is found principally in the
rich shoot of the National vein
the isolated position of which, in
a district of quartz-stibnite veins
poor in gold and silver, is re-
markable. The several veins ap-

GIVE
AS FAIR PRIZES
Two Counties Will Send Girls to
Short Course for Women at
the University of Mis-

Two Missouri fair associations,
the De Soto County Fair Asso-
cation and the Savannah Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Society,
will give prizes this summer en-
titling the winner to a scholar
ship in the Short Course for
Women given at the University
of Missouri next November.
These scholarships will entitle
each woman to $52, the approx
mate amount which it takes to
cover the expenses of the course.
Contestants will be judged on
bread making, preserving, gar
ment making, and sewing. The
highest all-round score will be
awarded the scholarship in each
case. This short course for
Women at the University of Mis-
souri, lasts seven weeks. Work
is given in those subjects with
which a woman as a practical
hOmemaker should be familiar.
Economy in the management of
household affairs is the key
note of the whole course. The
student learns how to save ma
terial, t ime and labor. The
course affords an opportunity to
obtain the kind of knowledge
which a woman can apply in her
every day homework and rela-
tons to the farm. In addition to
the courses given in home econ
Omics, practically all the work
offered in the two-year winter
course for men is open to wom-
en-.

years old may attend" say
Miss Louise Stanley, assistant
professor of home economics.

care and responsibility Of manag-
ing a house will find much that
will interest them, and because
of their experience viii derive
even greater benefit from the
course than girls who are less
experienced There are no en-
trance examinations to tn e
course.

Scientifc Rarbarism.

airships and aeroplanes have
caused the neutral world to
shudder. The horror has be-
come so common that our sensi-
bilities are being dulled, yet ev-
cry new report of airship raids,
with their toll of death to women
and children, excites new detes-
tation of the cruelties and
scientific barbarism of the pres
ent war.
When the Germans made their
first air attack upon sleeping
Paris, a cry of protests went up
around the entire globe. The
military authorities made an eX-
tremely technical defense Of the
act by saying that it was legiti-
mate to lombard defended cities
and that Paris has defenses.
They made the same excuse
later when their cruisers attack
ed some coast towns of England
and killed civilians, and a little
later when airships began drop
ping bombs into sleeping viii
lagos. They practically claimed
that every village and hamlet of
France and England is subject
to attack under their technical
ruling that they are in some
sense defended or have soldiers
quartered in them.
This purely technical justifca-
ton Of what is in essence a wan
ton violation Of the plain pro-
visions of The Hague conven-
lions and of the spirit of civiliz-
ed warfare, has never brought
world approval.
But the Germans are not the
only air raiders. English,
French and other aeroplanes
have raided behind the enemy
lines and dropped bombs which
have caused death of many nom
combatants.
It has been advanced in justi-
fication of these raids not that
they had a right to drop bombs
upon the residence districts on
theory of a siege of a defended
town, but that bombs were all
directed at property actually
used for military purposes, and
the death of noncombatants was
incidental and accidental.
There is, to be sure, a distinct
ion in the morals of the two
cases. One deliberately attacks
noncombatants and residence
districts of cities under a plea
of military justification, thus
committing what international
law calls murder intentionally
with a justification avoidance
which, however it may satisfy
the purely military mind, car
never reach the conscience OF
the world.
The other merely ignores the
danger tn non-combatants in it's
attack upon military auxiliaries
The final result, however, is the
same. Bombs dropped from the
sky snuff out the lives and de-
stroy the homes of noncombat-
ants, men, women and children.
Unfortunately.
The fatalities at Karlsruhe
show that it makes little practi-
cal difference whether bombs are
intended to fall upon the heads
of civilians or not, so long as
they actually do So.
The French claim that their at
tack was directed at the railway
station, important in the move

mate objects of attack, yet look
at the result.

AMERICAN CIRCUS
TAUGHT THE KAISER
Big Show Gave Ideas for Military
Kitchens and Entraining Armies
IN Germany i'm 1899.

Secrets Of the German military eff
cheney were laid bare yesterday when
George BOWles made a call on TheO-
dore Bauer, assistant manager Of the
Claridge. At one time in his career
Mr.. Bowles was with Tody Hamilton
in the press department of Barnum
& Bailey's Circus, and he went to Eu
rope fifteen years ago with that ag-
gregatiOn. Mr.. Bauer has been more
or less concealing the fact that he,
too was in the same outfit at the time
with Mr. Bowles, says the New York
Times.
Mr.. Bowles and Mr.. Bauer agreed
yesterday that the Kaiser got the idea
for his military kitchen and his idea
for entraining an army from inspect
ing Barnum q Bailey'S Circus, and
having his officers make inquiries into
thesce two things The circus kitch-
en- and the circus fashion Of loading a
train have been faithfully copied by
the Germans. Mr.. BOWles and Mr..
Bauer insist, and both are, Of course,
American ideas. This information
| came out really by accident.
| After Mr. Bowles had told the
story of the dog that belonged to the
ticket seller of the side show, which
was accustomed to bury bone al
night between the two front wheels
of his masters residential wagon
and who would get out of the vehicie
in the morning, after a stop had beer
made in town twenty miles or more
away, and become peevish because
the bone was not to be found between
the two front wheels, the converse
