SIS BY AIR TO PARIS
Tickets for Trip Now on Sale n
London.
Use Bombing Machines for Passenger
Until New Designs Are
Produced.

LOndon.-Tickets are now being sold
at SIS each for journey-by-airplane to
Paris, passenger service. starting as
soon as circumstances permit. The
journey by air will be done in two and
one-half hours, the distance being 24O
miles. Holt Thomas, of the Aircraft
Manufacturing company, is backing
the enterprise, which is expected to
find favor among tourists and business
people. During the war many public
officials have flown from London to
Paris. BOnar Law prefers to go that
way. Allowing a half hour p either
end of the journey to get to and from
the airdromes, the entire journey will
require but three and one-half hours.
Until new designs are produced
bombing machines which can carry q
load of $3.50 pounds, travel 128 miles
al hour and climb 5000 feet in five
minutes will be used. Experiments
have shown that by covering the
fuselage with glass passengers can con-
verse readily, the roar Of the engines
being minimized. Thomas hopes to re-
duce the one-way fare to $25 within 81
few months.

PROMINENT CITIZEN DIED DUR

COMMUNITY SHOCKED

The community was shocked this

country as few of us know it today.
He was married in 1888 at Lewiston

wife have always been devoted to each
other, and the shock was very heavy to
her and her loss is keenly felt. They
have only one son. W..-B. Robinson of
Moscow.

1S years in Genesee and came to Mos

to all. He was a member of the E1ks

so a member of the Shrine.

Hawley had been killed it would have
been reported officially by the mill
tary authorities as the official chan
nels are open for such transmission of
news.
He said the mail has failed to come
through in many instances. He HIM
self had written once each two weeks
to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. A.
Henley, since he had been overseas,
yet they have received but three let
tiers.
Such has been the long anxious

has been stated of Mr.. Hawley's
whereabouts. The above has been

actual news has been received, for
many are the inquiries that come re-
garding him.

S. A. I. C. WAS
HELP TO STUDENTS
EMINENT EDUCATOR DECLARES
ONLY INCOMPETENT WILL
FAIL TO MAKE, GRADES

That only the very resourceless and
handicapped young men will be unable
to finish their years work in college
after they have been helped for three
months by the United States govern
ment, was the statement made by E.
I. Devine, former professor at Column
bia University and now editor of the
Survey. The statement occurs in the
current issue of the Survey in an ar
ticle entitled Farewell to the S. A.
T. c."
Professor Devine says: Everyone
who can should give higher education
at least that much of a chance to
make something out of him. Every
argument in favor of going into col
lege rather than into a regular train
ing camp when there vas a choice,
applies to the more fundamental
choice between trying the business of
life with or without the superior
preparation which the college affords.
1t is no unworthy ambition for the
drafted mar who has the necessary
educational foundation to desire to be-
come an officer, although it is 10 dis
grace to serve in the ranks. Just so
it is a legitimate response to a ma
tional need for intellectual leadership
for all who have the necessary start
to go on to the attainment of a higher
education"
That the S. A. T. C. has never been
a complete success in any college in
the United States is admitted by Mr..
Devine.
"After the war" has come sooner
than we dared hope. The students
find themselves mustered out of serv-
ice in the very colleges where they
were mustered in. They have the
chance to finish their first year of
college at a minimum of expense and
also-alas-at a minimum of mental
exertion. Inertia operates to keep
them in college, rather than, as usual,
to prevent finding what an exceeding
ly pleasant and interesting place it
is. And as a rule they will find that
the Transformation from S. A. t. c.
to a students college will increase the
interest, will reveal more attractive
characters in fellow students, and
more subtle charms in laboratories
and libraries and lectures.
Supervised study has wrought no
miracles; irregularities caused by "fa-
duty" have had no different in
on the work of the classroom
han those caused by ordinary home
distractions have not been
eliminated; incentives to study have
lot been greater than those known in
ordinary times to ordinary students;
he absence of leisure has shown itself
be, as always, inimical to educa-
ion; obedience, even though instant
md willing" has proved to be no sub
for self-discipline.

.REXBURG LAND DEAL

CASE-CHARGE LAND BOARD

court suit to compel the land board tc

celled the sale, when it developed 2
drawing had been held to decide the or
der of bidding, which resulted in ali
but a few pieces of the land going for
the appraised value, believe that the SUI
preme court, in upholding the land board
wholly misunderstood and %misconceiv-
ed the attitude and purpose of the plain
tlffs in engaging in the drawing"
For this reason the bidders have filed
a petition for rehearing, setting out
seven allegations. the gist of which is
that the state received the full value of
the land, that there was no fraud, and
that the court failed to pass upon the
reasons why the drawing was resorted
to.
In his argument the attorney for the
buyers says in part:
Where it All Started.
"The beginning of the difficulty which
developed into the decision of the said
court was had at a meeting of the state
land board held at Rexburg, Idaho, and
which is referred to in the testimony.
eat that time, as shown by the rec
ord, the state land board at a regular
meeting counselled and advised a large
body of citizens present that they should
offer at any state land sale any sum
in excess of the appraised value; that the
state land appraiser would appraise
all state land at its full value, and that
any citizen should offer more than that

and that he would suffer a loss to the
extent that he purchased land in ex
cess OF such appraised value.
The citizens attending such meeting
convinced of the logic OF this
proposition and this advice became

and prompted a drawing which

Favors Interstate Bridge.
A recommendation for the construc-
ton of an interstate bridge across the
Snake involves the appointment of a
legislative committee to act with a like
committee of Oregon solons in the
formulating of definite plans.
Other states and the federal govern
ment have found ii advisable to do state
highway work by force account instead
of by contract, the commission argues
in its recommendation that the present
restriction demanding contract work
only be removed.
Final suggestions touch upon the re-
duction of the bond demanded of con
tractors from 100 per cent to 50 per
cent of the total contract estimate and
upon a suitable law compelling the use
of non-glare headlights.
