DoNGs AT THE UNIVERSITY
Lecture ON Physics - Track Team
Race Declared on.


MOSCOW. Idaho. March 10
Judge o. e. McCuteheon OF Idaho
Falls. the newly appointed regent Of
the state university. was present at
students assembly this morning and
addressed the students briefly. The
reason for the judges presence is
the spring meeting OF the board OF
regents. Both the mandolin club
and the male quartet gave numbers
at the assembly and both were re-
called for encore number. The mu-
steal work of the university has
awakened new interest and Is one
of the most attractive phases of stu
dent life at present.
The assembly address was given
today by DR.. Quincy OF the depart
ment Of physics. He spoke of the
size Of the universe and the methods
of science in measuring It. BY hui
man sensation we can calculate or
know only the smallest fraction OF
either length, or weight. or time
duration. On a decimal scale ex-
tending across the gymnasium front
DR.. Quincy represented the dis
tances, weights and time known to
science, and the part known by hu-
man senses directly was but a small
block In the center of each scale.
In length the scientist measures the
distance of stars and variations Of
length within the many millionth
part of an inch. In weights the mass
OF the sun is the maximum limit and
the weight of an atom the minimum.
In time, though we speak often Of
eternity. the actual space dealt with
by science Is shorter in range than
in either length or weight. The
point Of interest in all this is that
human life is placed on this vast
scale at just the point where It is
possible for human life to exist. II
we moved the human body up one
decimal. made 1t 10 times larger, the
whole physical world would be out
of joint for us. II we made it one
tenth as large the same would be
approximately true. Man is eondi-
toned at just the proper scale to
come to his best development as a
national being.
The neutrality-suspicious. class
scrap that was scheduled as a class
relay race Of 90 men on a side failed
to come OF on st. Patrick's day as
planned. Some member of the soph-
omore class had run up the class
colOrs on the high derrick at the new
administration building and during
the morning the freshmen hauled
them down when but few OF the
sophomores we're present to defend
them, and tied up the defenders. At
meeting of the faculty committee
with the class committees the after
noon race was declared on. The
freshmen posted placards during the
night following in town and on the
campus, which is considered a breach
of truce on the part Of this class.

WILL SECURE JUST RATE
Attorney Believes Commission Will
Favor Spokane.

Favor Spokane.
SPOKANE, Wash, March 10
Henry NJ. Stephens, counsel for the
petitioners in the Spokane rate case
against the Hill and Hartman lines
and also attorney for the Inland EN-
pire lumbermen in their fight for
lower rates, said on his return from
Washington, d. c., where he APP
peared before the Interstate COM
meTce commission:
while l am not able to say when
the Spokane rate case will be deter
mined, l am inclined to think the
decision has been delayed on ac-
count of the disturbances in eastern
financial centers. l feel confident
the ultimate result will be a COM
plete victory for Spokane, and / be-
lieve the case will be determined
without much further delay. 1t
means much to every interior city in
the country.
THE statements filed in the Spo-
kane case show that If terminal rates
are granted the shipments here and
within 100 miles east and west win
just about balance the shipments Of
lumber and other products from this
territory to the east.
The contention of the railroads
in the lumber case is that the lum-
Der rate should be increased because
they bring empty cars from the east.
''If this contention is serious the
railroads should have reduced west
bound rates and filed the empty
cars.
Il have an abiding faith that Oul
westbound rates win be greatly re-
dueed and that the lumber rates will
be reduced below the old rates. II
ESQ. the east and west bound trafiC
will be practically equal and should
result In unbounded prosperity foI
this part OF the country"
