TRAIN ROBBERS MAKE
HAUL AT CHAMPAIGN
Take Thousands of Dollars in Registered Mail After Gun Battle
champagne, Ill., Nov. 8.-Six train train robbers equipped with all methods of warfare apparently have made good their escape today with many thousands of dollars in registered mail taken from the Chicago New Orleans train on the Illinois Central.
The robbers used dynamite, odor bombs, gawed-off shotguns, fuses and searchlights in a thrilling forty-five minute gun battle with members of the crew after the train had been disembarked from the train. Faxton, twenty miles north of here.
They escaped with from two to four sacks of registered mail, leaving six. After obtaining their loot they fired the mail car, using sacks of second class matter as the torch and a check of the loot was made difficult.
GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM WILL BE REARRANGED
Specimens Are to be More Systematically Placed and Labeled
A complete rearrangement of the material in the geological and paleontological museum is now under way. This is the first opportunity for this work since the war and is badly needed according to Assistant Professor F L Fleener. The specimens will be placed more accurately made to add to the attractiveness and usefulness of the collection.
The biological collection is to be arranged using material from both recent and fossil specimens to illustrate the different groups of invertebrate animal life. The collection of modern life is not to be mounted to show the fossil record in a single period, but rather to show some of the more striking features.
For beginning students in these departments, the laboratory work in the Museum in correlation with the books is a great aid, say instructors.
In other sections of the museum, the cases will be arranged so that the development of animal life beginning with the earliest period and leading up to the latest will be represented. One thing being done in the betterment of the collection is the changing of the largest part of the necessary identification and information will be used in place of the old typewritten ones. Three new photographs of ancient Devonian sea floor will soon be mounted.
According to Professor Fleener classes meet and study definite assignments in the museum. Actual specimens take the place of pictures and make more lasting impressions on the student. To the person who knows little or nothing of geology, the museum asks them for information. From the written explanations accompanying the specimen a good impression of the geological ages and many other types of geology may be had.

Automatic Whistle Will Bring Peace
Our whistle—the one that has been the cause of more rich, unadulted profanity than any other agency on the Hill—is synchonized daily with the chronometer at the astronomical observatory, according to Prof. Dinsmore Alter.
However, they are not to be blamed too much, thinks Professor Alter. They may be very busy at something els, such as shevoting cool or oiling a hot bearing, and are not always in position to act at precisely the right time.
"The men who are charged with the blowing of the whistle have keys to the observatory, and set their watches by the chronometer," said Prof. Alter, but they don't blow the whistle by their watches."
"What is needed most," said Professor Alter this morning, "if either an automatic attachment to blow the whistle, a signal clock to notify the engineer of the time, or a system of gongs could be installed in the classrooms. However, a gong system would not be heard by those off the Hill, and the best system is the automatic arrangement, which, although it would involve some expense, would be well worth the money."
