fully. Fig. shows the sizes of the
pieces of metal, together with the
designs which are to be perforated
upon them. First prepare the wood
blocks for the base, upright and top
pieces, making them 1-16 inch less
than the dimensions given upon the
patterns, to allow for the thickness
of the metal. Before fastening the
blocks together, prepare the metal
pieces, nail them in place, lay out the
designs and perforate them. The sides
should be cut in one piece and bent
around the corners. The upper COW
ering of the top and base pieces should
project about lie inch as shown in
Fig. 6. After mailing the blocks to-
gether, glue strip of felt to the bot
tom of the base.
Lay out the candle shade by the
pattern shown in Fig. s. AS the land
scape design is very simple to draw
out, it will not be necessary to en-.
large it by squares. After piercing
and cutting out the piece of brass,
snip the top and bottom edges, cut
ting out small triangular pieces as
shown, and then bend over the little
flaps thus formed and hammer them
down fiat against the inside face OF
the shade. The edge of one end Of
the piece should also be turned in
(see dotted line on pattern), and the
opposite edge turned out, and one
hooked into the other as the edges Of
a tin can are joined, and the two ham.
mered down so as to make a neat
edge. If you make the shade out OF
brass, fasten brass chain fringe to
the edge. This can be purchased at a
hardware store. Cut the chain into
3-inch lengths, and hook and clinch
the end links of the chains through
holes pierced through the edge of the
shade. A candle shade holder such
as shown in Fig. 9 can be purchased
at light fixture store for 10 cents.
All the metal work of these articles
must be polished, and this can be done
by rubbing with metal polish or scour-
ing powder. Lacquers may be pur-
chased at the art stores for keeping
brass from furnishing.

only one in ten is SO engaged, and the

Money for New Field.

Many persons are unfamiliar with
the fact that the students are now pre-
pairing a new athletic field. Formerly
the Latah County Fair association and
the Associated Students owned togeth-
er the property on Sixth street. The
interest of the students was sold by
them to holding company for $4,000
| in cash and release from further obli-
cations in certain arranged payments

pus, convenient to the gymnasium
sum of $4,000 has already been expend-
ed in getting it in condition. or this
amount $4,000 was given by the last
Legislature and $4,000 came from the
sale of the old field. The work of
grading is now all done. And the field
needs only some further leyeling,
bleachers, grand stand, and track. Be-
fore the work is all done, several
thousand more dollars will have to
be spent. 1t is planned to spend the
$40 now in the treasury for that pur-
pose and to add to it the sum of s16o
in order that the students may claim |
the $1,000 promised to them last sea-
son on condition that they would raise |
a thousand themselves. The students |
naturally feel very jubilant that they |
can meet the offer of the administra-
ton and are confident that with the
of the money they have on
hand and the thousand dollars that was
promised to the student body last year
by the acting president, they can have
a field of which any college might be
proud. The athletic field is located on
a piece of ground about 400 feet wide
and 1900 feet long, Immediately south

GRAD. MANAGER
CLEARS DEFICITS
COOPERATION SECURED FROM
UNIVERSITY REGENTS AS
FIRST STEP IN AID.
Seems Now a Timely Opportunity to
Extend Work of Graduate Manager
and Increase Interest.

(The first section of an article on
progress of athletics at the universe
ty appeared in Tuesdays Star-Mirror
and the following are the concluding
remarks.-Ed.)
Just before the old board of regents
retired from office, Mr. Larson asked
them to increase from $500 to $500
the registration fee paid by every
student, at the beginning of each Sc
mester and to give to the students in
return the privilege OF attending free
of charge all athletic contests at the
university. This was granted; and,
beginning with last fall, all the stu
dents in the university by merely pay
ing two dollars extra during the aca-
demic year have the right to be present
at all the games and athletic events.
The revenue derived from the increase
of registration fee amounts to about
$4,000, and this sum is put at the dis
posal of the graduate manager to be
expended in transporting teams, buy
ing equipment, and improving the ath-
letic field. The scheme has given the
most complete satisfaction to the stu
dents and to the management.
