This Writer Argues That Too Much
Safety May Breed Weakinge.
In these days Of the placarding of
safety first and the juxtapOsition Of
s'safe and sane." is voice necessarily
chat Of madman if 1t be heard In the
Hand singing the praises of danger and
Glsk? With all our laws and move
ments and committees for the elimina-
fion from our daily life Of all chances
unfavorable to life, limb. health and
property are we In no danger of saving
Che body at the expense of the spirit?
Too great security breeds weaklings,
and too nervous a regard for physical
safety is not only craven but ultimate
liz unwise. Our nation, If it is to be
great and free, must set high value on
the courage, resourcefulness and high
spirit of the individual citizen. Now,
courage is nourished on dangers coped
%ith, and the prudent soul that always
~fplays safe" cannot be called high or
noble. Our evolution up to this point
mas always been conditioned by the
need of self preservation In the face
of innumerable enveloping dangers
The creature that hesitated to take
chances or always avoided threatened
Injury soon ceased to exist, either as
species or individual.
Hence our bodies, our minds, our
very spirits have been evolved, In part
at least, to fulfill this function of cop
lng with some kind of danger. For
what purpose our eyes, our ears, our
nerves, our muscles, our sense of right
and wrong? A removal, then, from
our environment of this element Of
danger tends to be followed by de-
Generacy and atrophy in all parts of
our natures. Indeed, in modern life
we are prone to become stall fed in
body and spirit. This we tacitly con
2ess in our passion for sport, which is
essentially mimic hunting or war and
for the vicarious adventure of roman.

MARBLES OF VERMONT.
They Surpass the Product of Italy's
Famous Quarries.

They Surpass the Product of Itaiy's
Famous Quarres.
The greatest marble producing indus
try in the world is no longer to be
found in the famous Carrara district
OF Italy, but I'm Vermont, where one OF
the richest veins In the world stretches
In an irregular line across the state
So great is. the production of marble
in this section that the inhabitants
have lost much Of their appreciation
of its value and use it for such humble
and utilitarian purposes as paving, un
derpinning for barns, hitching posts,
stepping stones and drinking troughs
FOR horses. This vein is about fifty
seven miles long, from 1,600 to 2,200
feet In width and runs from 375 to
$50 feet in depth, and from 1t Is being
taken in enormous quantities white
Z marble that is equal to the finest Ital
Ian marble as well as an endless va
RAety Of blue, yellow, green and Jet
black marbles.
For quarrying and finishing the mar
lble the most up to date methods and
equipment are used, no part of the
work being done by hand that can
possibly be done by machinery. Hand
methods Of drilling. still in vogue In
Italy, have been entirely superseded
by power driven drills and channeling
machines. The blocks as they come
from the quarry are handled by der
Srlcks and are conveyed in most cases
/; by an inclined railway or a ropeway
shaped by power driven machines, only
the last delicate stage of polishing
being done by hand-Popular Me

Handling Coins.

Coin handling machines have reached
such degree Of perfection that a ma

ADDRESSES VARSITY FORESTEKS
+. Il. Allen of Portland, Lectures on
Practical Forestry Problems.

An instructive lecture was given
Tuesday night to the students of the
forestry club at the university by e. T
Allen, forester for the Western For
estry and Conservation association,
on the various practical problems
that are facing the foresters of the
northwest. Mr.. Allen dealt at some
length with the opportunities in the
forest service that await the men
trained in good forestry schools and
explained how both the national gov
ernment and the states are putting
forth every effort to assist the for
esters in protecting the expansive
timbered areas in the states of the
Pacific northwest.
The association with which Mr.
Allen is affiliated is exercising a tre-
mendous influence in protecting west
ern forests from fire rayages, includ
ing in its membership more than
score of sub-organizations in Idaho,
Oregon, Montana and
northern California. In his lecture
Mr.. Allen estimated that at the pres
ent time one-fourth as much timber
in the states of the northwest is be-
ing destroyed annually by fire as is
being manufactured into marketable

GREAT CLASH ON
BETWEEN RIVALS
TONIGHT MARKS THE OPENING
GAME OF SERIES OF BASKET
BALL IN PULLMAN.
Special Train Leaving Moscow Tonight
Will Carry Enthusiasts to Witness
Championship Contest.

The opening game of the Idaho
Washington championship series will
be palyed tonight in the W. S. C. gym
nasium at Pullman. The series in
cludes three games and the team ta-
king two of this number will claim
the northwest championship title Both
the Idaho and the Washington fives
have played in championship style
since the very opening of the
season and~the two teams finished in
their respective leagues with equal
percentages, each winning ten games
and losing two.
The Seattle team is outweighed by
Coach Griffith's men but its lack of
weight is counterbalanced by speed.
The team is formed of experienced
men and is expected to put up the
hardest fight that the Idaho quintet
has been in this year Coach Grif-
fith's team will be somewhat crippled
by the loss of Keane at guard though
good string of subs" have been
working with the regulars for the past
ten days. Keane has been confined
to his home for the past week by a
severe attack of tonsilitis and will not
be in a condition to enter any of the
games. Gray will work in his place
in tonight's game at least and prob
ably in the two following contests.
On account of this evenings game
coming on a study" night a special
students train could not be arranged
Through the courtesy of a number of
local business men, however, a spe-
cial train has been provided and will
leave here from the Northern Pacific
mediately after the game. In order
to secure the train it was necessary
for the business men to provide
large guarantee and to meet this no
less than 100 tickets must be sold
Many of these will be purchased by
students whose classes will not be
permitted to interfere with an oppor-
tunity to witness the opening of the
series and it is ex-
pected that enough downtown fans"
will be interested to take up the re-
mainder of the fares. Special trains !
for the students will be run tomorrow
and Saturday nights.
