THINKS COLUMBIA IS OFF ROUTE
I. U. Hanes Says Burlington Seeks
Most Direct Path to Kansas CITY.

L. o. Hanes, secretary of the Com
mercial Club, thinks there is little
chance of getting the proposed route
Of the Burlington railroad through Co.
lumbia. though he thinks the efforts
Of the committee appointed by the
club to investigate the proposition are
worth while.
THE Burlington is planning its new
track primarily to get the most direct
route from Chicago to Kansas City,"
Mr.. Hanes said. important towns in
Missouri and Illinois, which the pro-
posed route runs within three miles
OF. have been unable to get the rail-
road to pass through them. The route
proposed runs direct to Moberly and
from there to Kansas City.
THE Burlington now has a track
from st. Louis to Mexico, and all that
would be necessary to have a direct
route from Kansas City to St. Louis
would be to connect Moberly and Mex
leo. Columbia Is SO far out of the way
OF such a connection that don't see
how We will be able to get on the line"

OLD NEGATIVES IN DEMAND
Photographers Are Selling Glass Back
to Manufacturers.

Photographic plates are the latest
thing to be affected by the European
war The glass required for them is
of a special kind manufactured only
in Bohemia and Belgium, and the
stock of it is now exhausted. Pho
tographic supply houses in the Unit
ed States are buying back used mega
tiveS for the glass. and are paying
about So a thousand for them.
There is only one Photographic
plate manufacturer in this country
who has on hand a large supply of the
European glass. When the war be-
gan he ordered a two years supply,
which was shipped to him. After
year of war. he ordered another two
years supply. and his competitors
laughed at him, saying that he could
get no more of it. Several months
later, however. his ship came in,"

loaf FOR ARTS SAKE, HE SAYS
DIR. John Pickard Praises Painting
Exhibit Now BEING Held.

"Loafing in general is a bad thing"
DR. John Pickard told his students in
art the other day But if you must
do it, come to the archaeological mu-
scum and study one of the pictures for
half an hour. Loafing then will be
both profitable and pleasurable."
The exhibition of paintings in the
Museum of Classical Archaeology in
Academic Hall began January 2S and
will continue through February. The
exhibit includes six paintings repre-
sentative of the Impressionists of the
nineteenth century They belong to
the city Art Museum of st. Louis.
A portrait by George Fuller, "Old
Age" is attracting especial attention.
The fine character of an old lady is
interpreted. "If you will just stand
and look at her face a minute" one
girl exclaimed, "she will become your
own grandmother"
Claude Monet. the greatest French
impressiOnist. is represented by two
paintings. American impressionism
is represented by Childe Hassam's
Diamond Cove, Isle of Shoals
The Dutch School of Impressionism
is represented by Neuhuy's THE

Blommer's "On The Beach"
"Horatio Walker. in his represen-
tation of French peasants on the Isle

Doctor Pickard said in regard to the
painting Milking: Evening" "The
picture is broad and strong in its rem

MISS WISE FINDS JOPLIN
Il NICE. PEACEFUL CITY

always saw to it that 1t was spread to
all he'd meet
That's probably been the case with
joplin. All the stories you ever heard
or read about a mining camp. were full
of blood and thunder. and so, as Jop-
lin started out as a mining camp, log
ically, you would say. it must be as
bad as the rest. And even after all
these years the people couldn't for
get.
But hold, There are exceptions to
every rule. you learned at school.
1t is true of Joplin.
Does the reporter have to carry a
revolver in each pocket when she goes
out on the street? Does she have to
dodge bullets every time she steps out
of the newspaper office? Does she
have only to go to her office window
any moment of the day to see fight
that would make Jack Johnson turn
pale? Does she have to wade through
blood bespattered streets and does she
trip over human bodies? Does she
have a murder as an assignment every
hour or so of the day?
Well. hardly.
She's been here two weeks and she
has come to the conclusion that life.
even in Joplin, can be rather dead"
sometimes. II never could be as near
dead here as elsewhere, she says, for
one thing sure, this town is "alive,"
wide awake and progressive II is in
the people to be all that.
But when it comes to real big sto-
ries-the kind that stir a reporters
blood-they are no more plentiful here
than they were in the polite, correct
town that she left behind. Murders,
bullets. fights. zee blood. Oh, gosh,
where were those folks at?

The Joplin-News Herald publishes
the following about one of its new
reporters, a graduate of the School of
Journalism:
When it was known that she was

where human blood and human souls
are considered as mere trifies'-that

N. U. STUDENT Is A PUBLISHER
b. +. Cook Prints a FOur-Page PAM
phlet in His Room,

Few students, if any, can boast of
having published newspaper or
journal before coming to the Univer-
sity; and TO publish a periodical and
attend university at the same time
is doubtless considered by most per-
sons an impossibility.
The seemingly impossible, however.
is being done at the University Of
Missouri by Benjamin F. Cook of
Lowry Hall.
Mr.. Cook, who comes from Kansas
City, issues monthly the Southwestern
Carmen's Journal, the paper of the
Southwestern Garments Club of Kan
sas City. The Journal is a four-page
publication. 1t was first mimeograph-
ed. Eight years ago, when Mr.. Cooks
father, car inspector in the Kansas
City yards of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railroad Company. became
secretary of the club and also editor
of the publication, the son applied for
the job of printing the journal. Up
on getting the job. he purchased a
hand press and a set of type and
started in on his work as a publisher.
When he decided to enter the Uni
versity, Mr.. Cook was loath to give
up his publishing work; so he shipped
his printing outfit to Columbia. in
stalled it in his room, and continued
his work, shipping the journals to
City each month.

young people of the University" said
Mr.. Sampson, Il would give it through
the president of the freshman class I
would urge him to call meeting of
his classmates for consideration of

of the freshman class would agree that

ing to do with hazing, the problem
would be solved Hazing is a dis
grace to the University"

Bowie Racing Enters on
Last Lap of Spring Meet

Bowie enters upon the last lap Of its
meeting today. the wind-up coming
Friday, after which the ponies move on
tn HaVre de Grace for a thirteen-day
session. Thus far the Southern Mary
lana meeting has proved a great success
in every way.
The backward season has been a han
dicap in that horses trained in this lati-
tuue were not mt enough to race and the
burden has been put upon the nags that
have performed at New Orleans, Ha-
vana and Hot Springs While these win
ter performances are a little lacking in
class, they have made hne racing and
have furnished as much excitement and
gwen The public as many thrills as If
they had been stake horses of the high
cst CalibeT. HaVre de Grace will have
entries OF somewhat better quality, but
il can hardly hope for better contests.
Beginning today. the management at
Bowie will raise the purses. and there
will be no race for less than $500. This
should bring out the best that Is at the
track and make fine programs for the
rest of the meeting.
Worse racing conditions than those of
Saturday could hardly be imagined
Rain, snow and sleet, combined with a
track deep in slop, made things miser-
able for man and beast. A big crowd
however turned out, and only on the
oDening day had things been more lively.
The heavy going upset calculations in
some Instances, but on the whole the
horses ran true to form, and the pub
lie generally picked the winners with
very satisfying regularity.
Brighouse, the Juarez Splinter showed
himself very shifty nag in the going
when he took down the fourth event
very handily from fair field in the good
time OF 1:154-5. Brighouse was entered
