gresham French providing that sol
diers be permitted to retain their uni
forms and other articles of wearing
apparel, also certain souvenirs that

the House today embodying all the

tions of American patriotism These
have made possible chapter of honor
able achievement for Idaho.
We trust that those students who
came to the University for the first time
this fall will recognize that, owing to
military exigencies and the quarantine
they have not had opportunity to know
University life as it is known and
cherished by the multitudes of college
men and women. AS the University next
quarter returns to its normal activities
they may have that opportunity.
AS the men joined the S. A. T. c.
prepared to make sacrifices for the com
mon good, may we not urge that they
make some sacrifice to continue their
college courses. Statistics show that
men of college training have ten times
as good chance for success in life as
those without such education. Don't
wait until next year. If possible, make
the sacrifice and go forward now As
you were willing to give all that you
have and all that you are" for war, pre-
pare to give your. country the service
of trained and disciplined mind in the
trying days of reconstruction
With best wishes for happy Christ
mas.

SPANGLE, WASH, HAS
A WOMAN MAYOR NOW

Spangle, Wash, has a woman
mayor in the person of Mrs. C. L.
Mood. The voters who placed her in
office also elected her husband, DR..
c. L. Mood, councilman, consequently
Mrs. Mood is sure of bossing her hus-
band at least one evening a week.
The new mayor has been very active
in fraternal circles and Red Cross
work. She also manages a large
stock ranch at Odessa.

CHAPTER So.

I suppose this being a war book
should ought to write something
about soldiers and Of course writing
about American soldiers, And there
certainly is some American soldiers
that l would like to open up about.
There is some birds over here who
have got these little imitation gold
stripes on the bottom of their left
coat sleeves for being here six
months. but II you could see them
birds staggering around YOU would
think that they had been here six
years hnd was the only surviving
heroes Of the Battle Of the Marine.
Then there is some other American
birds who have got little funny look
ing ribbons on their chests that Cor
poral Jake Wart says is honor medals
give them by the French and Ameri-
can can, govs. for bravery under fire.
medal winners had just been elected
governor Of Oklahoma by the way
they walk around. but others is very
modest and backward about telling
sSw they Iss won grss, them guess II they
vision get up there in the firing line
we will show the world how to grab
some medals. Sandy Splitz says he
is going to get some Iron Crosses
from Fritzes that he captures, let
alone winning the things that French
and U. Sam gives you.
But must say that US Ameri-
cans over here leave an awful good
impression physically. We being
picked men we are about two sizes
bigger than most everybody else is
and the ordinary American hera
looms up like a country church in
fog. And especially are these here
American soldiers working unloading
ships, ETC., built from the feet up.

VIENNESE DAINTIES GONE.
Famous Dishes Vanish and Coffee
Disappears,

Correspondence Of The Evening Star
and Chicago Daily News.
STOCKHOLM. Sweden. April "A
delayed letter. passed By the Austrian
censor and received here recently
6romsa Swede living In Vienna, gives
some interesting Information about
conditions there. Once q gourmet's
mecca, Vienna has become a city Of
scarcity.
Pork has become a rarity. Mutton
is scarce and beef has greatly de-
Perforated in quality. The scarcity
of fodder has hit the Austrian cattle
breeding industry most severely. Tho
population has to take its chance
with meat rations.
Practically all the famous -four
dishes of Vienna have vanished and
the city's dietary now contains only
q small number OF dishes. which con-
tinually recur. One can still buy
Russian caviar. however. and Scan
dinavian anchovfes.
There is practically no cofee In
Austria The same applies to us in
Sweden. We drink odd messes OF
coffee dust, acorns and dandelion
roots. But in Sweden one is always
given a little Jug Of milk with it.
authorities forbade milk being served
with coffee substitute. 80 the hapless
Austrian sadly misses his favortte
"melange."
Street lighting has been consid-
erably reduced. For transit citizens
have to depend on the electric street
cars, for the "stadbahn" is almost ex-
clusively occupied with military and
freight transport. There is much
grumbling that the city had not built
an overhead or tube electric railway
before the war The street cars are
grossly overcrowded and automobiles
and public vehicles have disappeared
from the streets.

But what started to tell in this
chapter was what an old regular
army top sergeant told some Of US
boys about the Trenches. We was
sitting around casing and Sandy he
said he didn't see how they could be
much fighters II the ones we had
seen in the town was typical. They
wasn't very snappy and their uni
forms was different colors. and some
was old and faded and the men had
different kinds of guns and equip
ment, and they wore beards\ and
broke all kinds of rules, and when
they marched 1t was like our route
step. and they smoked and chatted in
the ranks. They certainly didn't look
much at all.
Boy" this old regular top said to
Sandy, wait till you been up there
where the music Is and wait till you
see these sky blue solgers eat UP
them boche. All we got to be is as
good as them lads and then we'll be
the best In the world. Don't kid
yourself none about these Trenches:
they been fighting for almost four
years-.-and they're good for four
more"
Sandy didn't say nothing, but the
next time he passed one of these
Frog Eaters he Just about broke his
arm saluting him.

The soil Of this tract is extremely

fetal contemplated developing the
whole area as a recreation ground.
He aimed to put in an eighteen-hole
golf course, three or four base ball

and a clubhouse which would ac-
commodate several hundred players.
His first experiment was the con-

The diminutive course was thronged

Harlan suggested certain changes in

the employment Of Walter ]. Travis.

the man who became master of the
game after reaching the age Of thirty
five. Mr.. Travis was engaged and
drew the plans for an eighteen-hole
course. The ground is level. conse-
quently all hazards must be artificial,
but there were no restrictions as to
room and, in a sense, as to money,

preparation of $5e,000. with more in
