The Treaty of WestphGIia

In the quaint and elaborately orna-

Munster in Westphalia, the celebrated
Treaty of Wostphalia was signed that
ended the Thirty Years War. These
desolating wars had grown out Of the
Reformation. They spread from one
end OF Germany To the other. They
left the land in disaster and desola-
tion, But the art OF war had gained
and this principally by the genius Of
Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. The
"Peace of Westphalia" as 1t is called

DETECT CRIMINALS
BY WORD TEST

The laboratory students of DR.
Reeds psychology courses have proved
themselves successful detectives. Re-
Gently they were given the problem
to determine which of group of IL
persons were guilty 1t being known
that six of them had committed a
crime, but not knowing which indi-
viduals.
The suspects were subjected to an
ordeal that lacked much of the Sc
verify of the third degree but was
somewhat similar to that method.
The method used was the associa-
tive method made famous by the psy-
biologists, Jung and Munsterberg.
Each Of the IL suspects was instruct
ed to respond to each word pronounce
ed by an examiner, with the first word
that came into his mind He respond

ed aloud and the class recorded the re-
Spouse and the reaction time, or the
number of seconds that elapsed be-
tween stimulies and response.
There were so words in the list,
half of which were crucial and related
| to the circumstances of the crime.
Criminals Amateurs.
The crimes varied in character and
degree. Some had secretly studied
some of Rademakers cartoons, while
others had been so reckless as to
glance at a rattle snake picked inr
bottle of alcohol in the geological
storeroom.
1t mattered not how trivial or in
significant the misdemeanor may
have been, the criminals guilt was
brought Enthusiastically to light.
One Escaped.
Five of the six guilty individuals
were detected and the only reason that
one cuIprit escaped is undoubtedly
to be explained by the fact that the
detectives were only amateurs. WHh
a little more practice-sxsne class in
will be in shape to per-
form similar work for other depart
ments in the institution and for IN
dividuals.

BONNERS FERRY FIRST
TO ENTER STATE meet

Bonners Ferry is the first high
school to formally enter a team in
the state high school basketball tour
nament to be held at the university
Thursday and Friday, March 18th
and 14th. Inquiries from Wallace,
Occur d'Alene and other schools in
dictate large attendance from north
Idaho. During the next few days it
is expected that the entry roster will
assume q more definite form.
Some little difficulty was at first
encountered because of the conflict
with the Spokane tournament. How
ever, the schools who were concerned
with the conflict are arranging now
to compete in the battle for the state
title here.
Entertainment for the visitors is
being carefully planned by a commit
tee Of students. Among the features
will probably be a smoker Friday
night in the "Y" at which music, box
ing and wrestling matches, and cigar
cites will combat for popularity, The
tourney will mark the end of the
training season for most of the high
school players.
The fraternities will again house
and feed the visiting athletes. Teams
will be drawn by lot upon the day
before the tourney opens, so that
there will be no confusion.
The ticket campaign will be open
ed next week. Every student in the
university will be expected to pur-
chase an "admit one" at the dollar
rate for the entire meet.

TAKES CAMEL'S PLACE
Jerusalem Is Modernized by Mo.
tortruCk.
Beasts of Burden Are Smothered In
Dust OF Speeding Auto
mobiles.

Jerusalem.-The life of two periods,
distant by many centuries, seems to
flow along the roads that lead to this
ancient city.
The camel, though he has done great
things for the British forces, is losing
his position as the main means of
transport, and the natives driving their
camels carrying huge packs of East
ern merchandise are passed by the big
engines of the evergrowing British
broad-gauge railway, at which the
country people stare with open
mouthed establishment. Then along
will come an Assyrian or an Arab on
his donkey or mule, his wife walking
behind and carrying a great pack on
her head. In this way they transport
much stuff for many miles. Now they
are smothered in dust from the great
quantity of motor transport on the
roads.
The five barley loaves and small
fishes still have to feed good many
people in this country, and women
may still be seen grinding their scanty
cup of corn between stones, but now
with the introduction of good seed the
country already is showing signs of
vast Improvement. Cotton is still
made up into rough material in a
primitive method on a kind of bow.
With the new opportunities now open
ing up the old spinner is likely to be
looking for another job.
Already in quite small towns you
viii see names of well-known London
firms. This has aroused the local
shops to a kind of competition, and all
kinds of important signs over small
shops, with hardly anything to sell, an
nounce: "The Provisions" 1.-THE Up

ountry into a real "land of milk and

FLAX DISTRICT IS RUINED
Belgian City Taken by Germans Shorn
of Barges and Precious
Machinery.

Washington. the war Cour-
trail was a center Tor the production
of flax of European Importance, and
the city harbored for this purpose a
large English and Irish colony. Now
the whole flax district is ruined. The
large barges in which the flax was put
to rot in the Lys were sold by the
Germans as firewood much below their
value.
The copper from the flax mills and
the other precious machines were
requisitioned. The soldiers were quar-
tered in the factories and the cele-
brated 'Ieicweerschen," the plains on
which the flax was bleached, were
plowed and planted with tobacco and
potatoes. Many, indeed, of the fertile
flax fields were turned over several
times and many served as battlefelds.

California and other distant places to
recover from purely imaginary tuber-

Jackson of Pittsburgh in an address
before the American Roentgen Ray So
ciety at the Hotel Traymore. He adj
vocated that persons believed to have
bronchial affections should submit to
the Roentgen ray at least once year.
In a resume of doctors errors, Doc
tor Jackson told Of the discovery of an
inverted staple in man who had been
under treatment for tuberculosis for
IS months, and of the finding of the
top of an atomizer in patient who
had spent much time in California. He
said that the rays had discovered an
umbrella tip in the body of daughter
of a physician after the girl had been
an invalid for six years. of the location
of siX-penny nail which caused "un-
symptoms" of tuberculosis
and of the finding of lacks which also
confused the diagnosticians.
