Washington, Jan. 18.-The Per-
sffing column will be back in the
United States by March l. This
was stated positively today by
army officers and war department
officials.
The first movement OF troops
home from the border in several
weeks was ordered today when
the war department instructed
General Funston to designate one
company from each of the First,
Second and Third Kentucky in

that there will be a gradual with

border
Nothing has been indicated as
to when the order to Pershing
may be expected, but it is looked
for at any hour.
The first move is the recall OF
some of the guard now on the Dor

drrs to at least one more regiment
of militia to return home. Then
will come the order to the Perish.

GOOD LOOKING MEN ARE
NOT THE MOST POPULAR
M. U. Students in Sociology Tell
of Requirements for Future
Wives and Husbands.

What the young women WouIT
require of their future husbands:
l. Good moral habits.
2. Good income.
3. Social position and good
family connections.
4. Congenialty and good treat

$. Education and intellectual
ability.
What the young men would r,s-
uuire Of their future wives:
!. Reputation for good name,
2. Physical attraction.
3. Social grarrS.
t. Youth.
). Training for the home.
The idea that women desire mcM
who are romantic, dashing and at

wives who are "hOmc bodies
was rcfuted in the above list com
piled in the class in sociology Of
forty-onc girls and twrnty-scven
men at the University of Missouri
The consensus of the women =
opinion was in favor Of the steady,
moral, economical and intellectual
man, while the men-~thcy seem
content to choose fine butterfly.

majority III each ease.
The lists were all unsi gncd-nu
one knew the requirements of thu.
other. One of the women stated
that one of her requirements was
that the man should be good
>prndcr, while one man wanted a
wife who would be economical.
SO there You are.
There were other requirements
that received scattering votes.
Many girls said their husbands
would have to be young, but not
too young. One preferred a mid
die aged man. Another girl made
handsomencSs her first rcqulrs'
mrnt. Still another, more roman

The men entirely overlooked the
T idea Of money. One practical
young man gave common sense as

wife.
These are all, of course, merely
ideals not hing more.

sought to escape the penalty Of his
rash participation in the pact, for he
loved life and wanted to live. But the
memory Of the passing of his class
mates obsesSed him, his mind broke
and he kept the pact to escape further
mental torture.
Intimate friends Of the young man
knew of the suicide agreement, for
Gish had cOnfided to them his fear
that he would not be able to keep his
faith with his comrades and had been
bu0yed up by his friends attempts to
relieve his mind. He had promised
them that he would forget the past.
Each student in Gish'S class had
learned trade and had gone from the
school to more or less success. AS
each took MS life, some by shooting,
some by poison and some by the
moose, the word was sent to those who
remained. They kept in touch with
each other until only Gish survived.
The eighth member Of the class shot
himself two years ago.
Gish had learned piano tuning. He
lived with his father on Il ranch. He
left with his friends Il record of the
graduation class and its tragedies,
with the request that they be kept in
confidence until certain length Of
time after his death.
