The escorts who take the mail to the station are arm ed; the postoffice messengers are also arm ed, and the mail cars are guarded by employees and also by the Marines, who are armed with Colt revolvers, sawed-off shotguns and rifles. A rew ard of $5,000 has been offered by the post­ m aster-general to any person who captures, either dead or alive, any person who the is trying mail, or who tries to en ter a mail car or postoffice when told to stay back. to steal if Mr. Spain, when asked they would really shoot anyone for trying to g et into a mail car, answered If “Ju st try it, buddy, ju st try it.” they are this much in earnest about stopping mail looting, they certainly ought to succeed.

This was used as a p a rt of the general program of education week, which is a national movement sponsored by the National Education Association, U nited States Bureau of Education and the American Legion, the last two bodies co-operating. — - ......

The m ajor­ ity of the exam inations are oral, but a few are w ritten.

This may be either solo work o r class work. the A u t h o r Gives Vivid and In te r­ esting In te rp re ta tio n of His W orks the characterized Unusual enthusiasm and apprecia­ tion audience which heard A lbert E. Trom bly’s reading of his own poems at the pub­ lic reading yesterday afternoon. Mr. Trombly divided his poems into four groups: Nature poems, love poems, ballads and meditative verses, rea d ­ ing selections from each group. In the nature poem group Mr. Trombly read a num ber of poems on Texas themes. In “The N orther” he catches the spirit of Texas w inter w eather and portrays with adm irable effectiveness its changes. Again in a group of poems entitled “November in Texas” he develops the same idea. sudden Besides being a poet of accepted m erit,' Mr. Trombly is a reader of charm and ability. Where the lite r­ ary and historical allusions m ight be puzzling, he prepared his audience for a b etter understanding of the poem by developing the background of the poem before proceeding with its reading. His reading was char­ acterized by a power and vividness of the author himself can give to his work- Mr. Trombly is an adjunct profes­ sor in the romance language d ep art­ m ent of the U niversity and is one of the first men outside the English de­ partm ent to conduct the public read­ ing hour. Today’s reading is the last for this term . They will be resum ed a fte r the holidays. interpretation only th at Y. W . C. A.

SYMPTOMS An entertaining study In sta­ tistics probably would be prt- ^ented if figures could be se­ cured showing the small propor­ tion of sick excuses requested during the last week of classes in each term compared to the number asked for or granted during any preceding week of the same term. The student body of the U ni­ versity is neither malicious nor en route to* the proverbial bad man. But there are some who fear to drink too deep of the liouid knowledge and who are willing before the catacylsmic fear of finals besets them to im­ agine their ills more pretentious than poignant. These students, employing for themselves an elastic interpretation of the hon­ or 8j stem, remain away from classes under the pretext of ill­ ness when their trouble is per­ haps no more serious than what a little negro boy once called a “bad case of symptoms." Such a practice is far among from common student body to be sure. And yet it is well enough known that eva­ sions of faculty mandates some­ times occur in this manner that the present writer does not feel th at he Is announcing a it s riling discovery. the Be th at as It may, the fig tre e which might be computed as ’a tte s te d would he very en­ lightening as to the psychologi­ cal influence of the approach of final examinations upon the col- lectve student mind.

It is only necessary to align on the one hand the student wno is, generally speaking, frivolous; and on the o t h e r , who is, a c c o r d i n g maying; what the p o p u l a r n o t i o n , own; and to over-serious. W i t h w h a t mis t a k e understanding f o r m e r : often accuses the latter of an inky-colored conception of Uni­ versity thoroughly t o o bound with book knowledge to be flexible and usable. And with what the lack of sympathy scorned one will often decry the childishness of the accuser, be­ innocent little his generally pleasures and m utter with incor­ rigible disdain at his frivolity. in the second place, I desire, o r j.ruiCipie, lo cuter a protest against me .nods ox some of your re A.u iu rs . aw ice lately, once in an .atervmw a snort wade ago, anc in a very ‘ small” talk made *«»l evening, I have been quotec aitu represented so awry from my .rue spleen m at rn the printed re­ vert I could not recogmxe my own ..oms.

EARL RACEY, Pres. NEW WIRELESS TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE IN- STALLED By the Tyler Commercial College, of Tyler, Texas. It is the beat and most modern outfit obtainable from the Westinghouse Co., and has a guaranteed radius of 1200 miles. In ordinary weather, it will pick up mes­ sages from all over the United States, and in clear cold weather, it is possible to communicate across the Atlantic Ocean with the high-powered stations of Europe. The news from the present Inter­ national Conference on Disarmament is being sent out by wireless and in our own opinion communication by wireless telegraph and telephone will eventually be as widely commercial­ ized as Morse Telegraphy has been. At this time, a large number of wireless stations are being operated all over the United States, not only by the Government and by commer­ cial concerns, but by individuals as well, and the demand for operators is rapidly increasing. Excellent salaries are paid. Many young people have already realized this need and have inquired of us at different times why we did not teach this work. It is particularly ap­ pealing to young people because it is a comparatively new and unlimited field. Our initial class will be limited to fifty. Naturally, those who first ap­ ply will be allowed to enroll first in this work. Our teacher is one of the very best to be had and our radio plant will always be in the charge of an operator licensed by the United States Government. Fill out the coupon below and mail immediately so that you can enter the first class that is now being organized. Name .......................................................
