"I hacn't got time. I'd like to do
it. No doubt it would do me a great
deal of good, but really I haven't the
time to give to it."
And with this superficial remark
men cat aside opportunities with lit
tle regard. They do not stop to in
vestigate the matter. They take it for
granted that they haven't the time.
:wid they get so accustomed to saying
this excuse that they never -lave time
occupant is forced to extricate him
self from the mass of bedclothes and
either reassemble his bed in the dark
or spenU the remainder of the night
sleeping on the floor.
Xo harm, other than a few bruises,
has thus far resulted from the boyish
prank.
Early Thursday morning some of
these intruders (they work in groups)
entered F. P. Voder's room; evidentally
they had no other imriose in view but
to "dump" him, as evidenced by the
fact that Mr. Voder's roommate was
"dumped." Mr. Voder caught the
bov before he could overturn his bed.
The Jlissourian in Friday's edition
very likely with no harmful inten
tions published the story of the in
truder entering the room. A misun
derstanding of conditions ma'Je it ap
pear as if the boy entered the room
witli evil intent. The story was copied
Saturday morning by a newspaper
which connected the event with other
robberies and housebreakings by giv
ing it a paragraph in a story of these
things.
This letter is presented to relieve
the public of any apprehensions it
may have that a student in the hall is
responsible for these other happen
ings. SV.

KOOST THE HORSE SHOW
Columbia is the best advertised city
in Central Missouri. Mention of Co
lumbia rouses a quick flash of recog
nition; other towns, however, are but
spots on the map.
The I'niversity is, of course, Co-
luminas best advertisement. But it
alone cannot be credited witli the
widespread knowledge of the city. The
events of statewide interest that take
Place here have much to do with Co
lumbia's fame. There are the conven
tions, the Phi Mu Alpha concerts, the
Fanners' Fair, the Commencement
Horse Show, athletic meets and
others. Each of these advertises Co
lumbia.
Such events are possible because of
the enthusiastic support which Co
lumbians give them. Big things can
be put over in Columbia because
everyone is a booster. If you don't
believe this, just watch how Colum
bians will attend the Commencement
Horse Show.
Your watching, of course, should be
done from the grandstand.
The Open Column
Credit to W. (.". Carr.
Editor the Missourian: As a mem
ber of the committee in charge of the
presentation of "The Ancient Mariner"
ly the University High School, may I
correct an omission in your account of
the entertainment? The name of Mr.
M. C. Carr, who gave us most valu
able advice and assistance in the mak
ing of our scenery, should have been
included in the list of those to whom
we aro happy to stand indebted for
generous service.
ROBERT M. DEWEY.
one remains theirs by right, that of
Pullman porter. The solution of such
problems depends on clear thinking
quite as much as good will. Xeither
can be increased by a picture which
has everywhere aroused opposition.
I recently saw the picture in St.
Louis and was afterward quite ready
to believe the reports that it con
tributed to the large vote for negro
segregation there. The scenic ettects
seemed deliberately plaiuid to play on
prejudice and arouse suspicion and
uie e0Keu insses and Jeers very suc
cessfully. I believe that segregation
is undemocratic and indefensible but
it is a worse evil that polices so vital
ly affecting a large number of persons
should in any degree be Vieterimned by
bad feeling and race antagonism. If
one believes in lynch law in extreme
circumstances, he will ot be discour
aged by seeing the play. May I ex
press the hope that all who see it may
remember to associate the story of the
film with the regretable past to -which
it really belongs, instead of with the !
present and its need of constructs e
readjustment?

The best Home and Buildings
in Columbia in 1915 were 1
built of Hollow Tile
I and Brick
This fact demonstrates clearly that Hollow Tile and
Brick are the best Building materials and are recognized as
such. With such materials you can build a home that is
substantial, that will always stand the wear and tear of
years.
Hollow Tile and Brick are also the greatest protector
from moisture; it is absolutely the driest. Further, it is
fireproof and thus the danger of fire is greatly minimized.
