Authors Writing
More Nov Than
Ever In History

London Feb, 25.-More books are
being written today than ever before
IN the history Of publishing says John
Murray widely known publisher TIE
average is better than ii was 80 or 10
years ago he added. Great num-
bcrs of people have contracted a fever
ish desire to write novels, but many Of
them have no real knowledge or the
authors craft, and are sadly uneuuai
to the task they undertake. And sue
cessruI novel now seems to call into
oXistance a yertable host Of aspirants
who are fired to emulate the happy
author. .
Two vital qualities which are often
lacking in the novelist of today. are a
sense of humor and really c.cyer
working out Of the plot.
ut is too early yet to say what will
be the eject Of the war on fiction.
Recently there has been tendency
for novelists to deal with sex problems
In their stories, | sincerely hope this
is passing phase. My experience is
that the wholesome novel meets with
success just now"
MI Murray said the present demand
In war books is for histories of regi
men's and divisions, many of which
are being written. and win form th,
material for permanent history of
the war. This he said could not bc
written for many years,

IDAHO TAKES THIRD

The University of Idaho basketball
team last night tightened their hold
upon the loop game championship OF
the Northwest Conference when they
saddled 50 to 23 drubbing on the
! Willamette Bearcats on the armory
floor
1t was Idaho's game from start to
finish, with the outcome never IN
doubt for a minute. Nothing can keep
/ the Moscow aggregation from the top
rung of the conference ladder if they
continue to play the brand of ball they
demonstrated TO Salem fans last even
ing. Basketball teams have "on" nights
and off nights and Idaho was "on"
last night, while the Bearcats were
off"
Nothing short of a broad cover lcr
the baskets could have kept the visi-
tors from scoring last evening, and
from no mater what angle, nor with
what abandon they shot, they con
nected With the scoring loop, But
luck does not entirely explain the vic
tory of the visitors. They played real
basketball, passing fast and accurate

they are and presenting defense
which willamette could not dent
Had willamette been able to keep
Hunter Idaho's star guard, covered
the tale might have been not quite SO
sad, for he scored and scored and kept
on scoring from whatever angle sno

Bearcats were "off, 1t just wasn't
their night and no amount of deter

going on the right track. They show

Three substitutions during the game

displayed.
As in the game of Tuesday night,
Wapato, at forward, was the luminary
for the Bear1ats Fighting every min

Wapato scored % of the % points

The teams lined up as follows:

Miss Waugh's "Talk.o

Miss Pearl Waugh's Tuesday
morning Talk" was devoted to a
consideration of the instruments of
the orchestra by sight and sound.
1t was stated that intelligent study
of all orchestral music requires a
knowledge of the individual instru-
ments which make that music -
their physical aspects and the tone
quality which characterizes each of
them. Miss Waugh illustrated her
subject by the use of colored charts
which showed the exact appearance
of each instrument, the manner in
which they are played, and the
physical properties Of each instru-
mont. Phonograph records giving
the sounds Of the different instru-
mcnts were also used in making this
talk" one of great value to the
musical student. These interesting
talks" are held every Tuesday
morning at IL o'clock at the Wom-

the exquisite costume of the French
colonial period.
The production was staged by
