The company was incorporated with a
capital Of $4,000. The stock was .aken
chiefly by business and professional men

buy 500 worth for each purebred Hol-

DOCTOR PERKY LECTURES
Says Free Verse Is Capable of
Greatest Expression,

Modern Poetry" was the subject Of q
well-treated talk by DR.. W. Perky, fol
lowing the regular business meeting OF
the American Association of University
Women yesterday at the Phi Mu house
Free verse embodies more form ard
not less than the Victorian poetry" said
DIR. Perky. 1T is not lawless, freakish
and theatrical, as is often thought. While
it may permit the invasion of a tre-
mendous lot of worthless stuff, it does
admit freedom and is therefore capable
Of greatest expression"
According to the speaker, at the back
Of modern poetry must lie a great SYM
pathy, both muscular and organic. The
exponents Of free verse contend that
anything in life is a subject for poetic
thought, and because of this sincere
conviction they lovingly interpret the
most commonplace institutions. Perhaps
the greatest strength of the modern
school lies in the fact that there is an
endeavor to build up a single image
rather than blur the whole by a sue
cession, as earlier poets Otter did.
Poets are writing better because they
are living more. The singers are in
love with the world. Modern poetry is

History of Past and Present Re-
vealed in Manual-M. u. Civ.
en- Consideration.

Tho Official Manual Of the State ol
Missouri, commonly known as the Blns
Book, has been published. Being .
centennial number. it is dedicated to
the vast army Of loyal and patriotic
men and women who have aided in the
Development and advancement of the
state
In the Manual, which is published by
authority Of an act of the Legislature,
history Of the past as well as that Of
today can be found. The l92l-22 Man
ual contains information that has never
been published in any Of its other publi-
cations and much Of the data was OBJ
tanned after repeated inquiries ard re-
search.
twenty-five thousand copies Of the
Blue Book containing historical, official,
political. statistical and other informa.
tion in regard to the national and state
governments are published as soon as
practical after the organization Of each
General Assembly.
One Of the noticeable features Of the
l92l-22 Blue Book is the space given
to the School of Journalism, in connec.
ton with the educational institutions Of
the state. The history, the purpose and
the courses Of study in the school are
given, also a picture Of Jay H. Neff Hall
and one Of Dean Walter Williams.

tunities which have hardly been touched
thus far and that greater chance foi
moral uplift lies on the screen thar
in any other medium of thought com
munication today. His enthusiasm for
the rev work is typical. He has from
the beginning been tempted to loose
bis energies on it.
And when Mr.. Hays resigns, who
shall take his place in the Cabinet? The
first man who comes to mind is Sen
aior Harry New Of Indiana. He could
have had Cabinet portfolio when MIR.
Harding was in Florida. bat he declined
then as he probably would now. Mr..
New is fitted for Postmaster General
because he is thoroughly trained in ma
tional politics and is himself an organ
izer Of experience, having once been a
Republican National Chairman. But it
is an open secret that he has no inten-
iion Of entering the Cabinet and will
continue his fight for reelection in Ind.

great deal of Harry New and un-
doubtedIy would pick him at once for
Postmaster General If Mr., New would
consent. On the other hand, Mr.. Hard
ing is not at all anxious TO make is
easier for former Senator Beveridge to
come back from Indiana to the national
capital. So in more ways than one the
President has shown his interest in Sen
aior News candidacy and plans to show
it even more definitely later on. That
would seem to dispose Of the rumor that
Harry New would succeed Will Hays.
Another report that can be brushed
aside is that there will be transferring
of Cabinet officers. The President is
loath to lose Will Hays, but if he shifted
the Cabinet it would mean training men
in two positions instead Of one. If the
plans for reorganization Of The govern
ment which are being worked out by
Walter F. Brown of Ohio were COM
pletcd, it might be that Mr.. Harding
would shift Secretary DENLY TO the
Posioffice Department from the Navy
and put Secretary Weeks in charge Of
the new Department Of NaiioDal Defense
which would have jurisdiction over both
the Army ard Nay. This would mean
that Assistant Secetary Theodore Roose-
veii. who has shown an amazing apti-
tude for his job. would Be in virtual
charge Of the Navy under Mr.. Weeks.
The reorganization plan, however. re-
quires the approval Of Congress and it
is so interwoven in other governmental
changes which are likely to become mat

WILLHAYS IS
CONSIDERINGA
NEW POSITION
Postmaster General May Be
come Adviser Extraordin-
airy for Moving Pic
ture Industry.
MORE CONCENIAL WORK
President Harding Is Silent as
to Who Will Fill the
Prospective Vacancy
i'm Cabinet.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyrighf, 1927

WASHINGTON, Jan. l3.-Will Hay,
probably will resign as Postmaster Gen
cral and accept the offer to become an
adviser extraordinary to the moving pic
iure indusiry--a sort Of Judge Landis ioI
the film business.
Those friends with whom Mr. Hay,
has discussed the matter say he is
pcrsuaded by the fascinating oppor,un
ip Of the new position rather than its
sl50.O00 year. for when he was con.
sidering a position in the Cabinet it was
admitted that his earning power in the
law business was al least that figure.
Mr. Hays inclination toward the new
Job is based, therefore. on his belief
iha, he can render big service, prob.
ably even greater than in the reorgan.
ization of the mails. The Postoffice De-
partmen is after all big business in
siitution with set ways and regulations
more or less determined by Congress.
The chance for individual work is hard
ly as great as in an entirely new enter
prise like the supervision Of the moving
pictures Of the nation. And Mr.. Hays
loves novelty and organizing tasks. When
he leaves the postal service it will be
because the new position offers even
more congemal work than he has had.
Mr. Hays is a deacon in the Presby-
terian church. He knows what the right
thinking folks of the country believe
ought to be the limits on the screen.
The moving picture leaders themselves
know it. What they fear is that without
regulation some of their own number
may overstep the bound of propriety and
here and there involuniariy start the
machinery of censorship. What they
want Of Will Hays is to take hold Of
the whole thing and regulate the movie
producers as well as handle the public
relations Of the industry. Mr.. Hays would
be expected to deal with legislatures
and Legislative committees everywhere
and present the better side Of the NOV
ing picture business.
But if it were a task of prevention
of censorship alone, Mr. Hays wouldn't
be interested. He is persuaded that the
moving picture has educational oppor-

HONORS OF WAR
FOR ENGINEERS

ish-American War, and the late
World War.
In 1915 the battalion was formed
into the First Regiment as an inde-
pendent unit of the war organiza-
tion. 1t was recruited at the Wash
ington Barracks, Washington, D. c.,
with General NJ. NJ. Patrick. now
chief of the afr service in command
and was one of the first commands
to go overseas. Some of. It's men
wear four service stripes.
In July, 1917, as part OF the First
Division the regiment served in all
engagements in which the division
took part. The Engineers were used
as infantry on several occasions. the
most notable being the capture of
Hill No. 269 in the Muese-Argonne
offensive in October. 1918. This was
a key position and allowed two divi-
sions to move forward after IL was
taken.
One of the features OF the engage
ments was the fact that the En-
gineers were equipped with rifles and
bayonets only, having no machine
guns.
The regiment was awarded the
fourragere for exceptional services
at Catigny and the scissors and the
Muese-Argonne offensives.
The regiment ma, shed into Ger
many In December. 1918. with the
First Division, as a part of the Army
of Occupation. 1t remained there
until August, 1919, when 1t returned
to the United States, arriving In
September. 1919. after a service of
two years in France and Germany.
The Engineers took part in the
parades of the First Division at New
York city and Washington. Fol-
lowing these parades. it proceeded to
Camp Taylor, near Louisville. KY,
for permanent station.
When Camp Taylor was abandoned
In September, 1920. the regiment
was transferred to Camp Dix, n. j.,
FOR permanent station. When the |
War Department decided to separate |
the various units of the First Divi-
sion and assign them to different |
posts along the eastern coast, the |

Here we have a demonstra-
ton Of the we'll known problem
which requires the dissection of
a checkerboard OF 64 squares
into four pieces. which pieces
can be reformed into rect
angle of 65 small squares. OF
course il is an illusion, that will
not stand the test of analysis.
This apparent creation of the
sixty-fifth square is due to the
fact that the edges of the four
pieces, which lie along the
diagonal, do not coincide ex-
actly in direction. In reality
they inclose an elongated gap
whose area is equal TO that of
one of the small squares.
An equally paradoxical pro-
position is presented in those
four pieces by asking how they
can be arranged so as to pro-
duce a figure containing only
SO squares, In other words, in
stead of gaining a square as in
the s by 13 rectangle, we will
ask our puzzleists to cut the
square diagram into its four
parts and regroup them so as
to lose a square.
