ers operating in European waters
have sunk considerable number OF
submarines in the past few weeks.
This is the official announcement
made through the committee on public
information when the first of a series
of pen pictures describing battles be-
tween destroyers and U-boats was re-
leased to the United Press.
The American vessel headed for its
under water victim the moment first
glimpse was caught of the Hun peris-
cope. says this first descriptive narra-
tive
A heavy charge was dropped as
the destroyer crossed the enemy's
track, but this attempt, in common
with second and third tries made,
proved unsuccessful. When fourth
charge of high explosive was dropped
however, the submarine ceased firing.
A heavy coat of oil spread over the
ocean and an intense boiling was re-
marked. No further trace of the pi-
ratical craft could be discovered.

F|NEIHORSE BARN
lREADY At UNIVERSITY
DEAN IDDINGS REGARDS NEW
STRUCTURE AS BEST OF KIND
IN NORTHWEST

''The new building will be one of the
simplest and at the same time mos1
modern and efficiently arranged horse
barns in the entire northwestern coun-
try
This was Dean E. j. Iddings' char
acterization of the university's new
$4,000 horse barn, which will be COM
pleted on either Thursday or Friday
of next week.
The barn was erected with two pur-
poses In view" said Dean Iddings this
morning, "the first being, of course, to
provide the best possible quarters for
the university's horses and the being
to construct simply planned building
which might serve as model after
which Idaho farmers might fashion
similar barns of their own"
The new edifice, which is the first
agricultural building of any size to be
erected since the dairy barns were
built six years ago, boasts dimensions
of 40x112 feet and a ground-to-c o-comb
height of AZ feet
The need for the building was ur-
gent because of the fact that between
60 and 70 head of beef cattle and 20
head of horses had been cramped into
the cid barn, which according to Dean
Iddings, was not only too small, but,
because of faulty construction, actu-
ally dangerous
The barn has 16 single stalls plus
eight of the box variety and it boasts /
concrete-paved alley-way II feet
wide in which both demonstration |
work and classes in judging can be
conveniently held
The box stalls are 12x14 and the sin
giles have measurements Of 1Ox5.25 In
the loft above there is room for $50
tons of hay in addition to adequate
grain storage bins. The building has
been painted dark gray with furbish-
ings done in white.
An informal barn-warming dance to
be held Friday night will constitute
The official opening of the new struc-
ture. The fantastic tripping will be
lone on the floor OF the huge loft and
hose who attend have been asked to
come plainly attired Both university ,
and townspeople have |
,een invited. Two or three hay-racks i
will be provided as modes of convey +
nee. 7
