ENGINEERS WILL SEE
INSTRUCTIVE MOVIES
Picture to Be Shown January 5 Deals
With Evolution of Trans
pOrtatiOA Methods

An interesting three reel education
al film entitled, "The King of the
Rails" will be shown at the mex
meeting of the Associated Engineers
which is to be held on the fifth OF
January, 1921.
This picture deals with the solu-
ton of transportation on land from
the primitive mode of the American
Indian to the modern methods of
steam and electricity. The quaint
manner of dress of the early fifries
along with the old fashion steam
locomotives is highly contrasted with
the powerful moguls of steam and
which now roam over the
picturesque Rockey Mountains. This
film while being of educational value
is extremely interesting and every
engineer is requested to attend.

OPTIMISTIC OVER
STUDENTS RATE BILL
ASSEMBLY AT UNIVERSITY To-
DAY EXPRESSED HOPES OF
PASSAGE OF THE BILL.

Considerable optimism over the
prospects of the student rate bill
being passed by the state legislature
was expressed at the student body
meeting at the university this after
noon. State Chairman Thomas and
sectional chairman Hunt, Darling and
Hobson each gave reports on the
campaign now being waged over the
state. Mrs. Warren Truit gave a
short address in which she said the
rate bill was the one measure which
the State Federation of Women's
clubs would work for this year
President A. H. Upham spoke in
regard to the general appropriation
bill and explained why the amount
asked for was larger than for the
preceding two years First" said
DR.. Upham, sis the problem of sal
aries. Whenever a member of the
faculty resigns we find it extremely
difficult to secure man of equal
ability for this position for the same
salary. Likewise those who have re-
mained here through loyalty to the
university and their work should be
recognized. 1t must be remembered
that when the cost of everything was
going up so rapidly and men in all
other lines were given proportionate
increases in income, the faculty, be-
cause of the limited funds, either ac-
cepted their pre-war salary or re-
signed.
with the steady increased enroll
ment our facilities must be enlarged,
we need more space and more equip
ment. For every new student certain
amount of equipment is necessary
and when hundreds of new students /
enroll no amount of skimping and
economizing can cope with the situa-
tion /
eve must have more room, Gre
buildings, and considerable proper
tion of the increase requested Is for /
this purpose.
"More money is necessary for re-
search, the experiment station and
The extension work. These incluoe
many lines of activity, each of which
must have sufficient funds to cope
With present conditions and present
problems"

MOSCOW 4. S. STARS
ON IDAHO QUINTET
THREE LOCAL BOYS WILL PLAY
WITH VARSITY AGAINST
POTLATCH TOMORROW.

Three former Moscow high schoo
stars and possibly fourth are
thought certain to start at regular
positions on the university basket
ball quintet when the Idaho five
lines up tomorrow night against the
Potlatch Athletic club team for a
game to be played in the university
gymnasium.
! Captain Elra "Squinty" Hunter,
who will open the game at running
guard; Bill Carder, who probably will
start at center, and Alex. Fox, who Is
considered likely candidate for one
Of the forward jobs, are three former
Moscowites thought certain of places
in the first lineup. Adrian Nelson,
another capable forward who is also
a Moscow H. S. graduate, may not
start the game, but he is thought
sure of an opportunity to play some
part of the time
Coach David Mcmillan, who has
been directing the floor work of the
team, has made no definite announce
men as to probable lineup and it is
said he will not pick his team until
late tomorrow afternoon, but uni
versity students who have been
watching recent practices believe
that Alex Fox and Les Moe, for
wards; Bill Carder, center, and Cap
tain Hunter and Gene Hyde, guards,
are the men he will start.
Reports from Potlatch indicate that
the timber town team is confident of
it's ability to make strong showing
against the university five. Several
Potlatch enthusiasts have even ex-
pressed the belief that their aggrega-
ton can take the measure of Coach
men.
Considerable student interest has
been aroused by the shmen-second
varsity contest which is to be played
as curtain raiser for the evenings
principal event The freshmen have
a speedy aggregation and they may |
prove able to hand the varsity substi- i
sutes a drubbing.
This preliminary game will start
promptly at 7:15. The varsity con-
est will begin at o'clock sharp.

there is untold suffering in Armenia

the Near East Relief, formerly the
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, TO save as many OF
these people rs possible. AT Erivan,
the capital of the Armenian republic,
one hot meal is given out daily, and BY
this relief alone the city's death rate
has been cut from thousand daily to
an average of twenty. At Alexandra
pol, where the refugees from Turkish
Armenia were driven by thousands, the
situation is appalling, Miss Dakesian
says. 1t is to avert these wholesale
deaths that Near East Relief is making
a nationwide appeal for funds.

BOY SCOUTS IN
YOUNG ARMENIA
Strangest Troop Of All in Con-
stantInopIe Being Made Into
Good Citizens.

American Boy Scout training is aid
ing prominently in the rehabilitation
of hundreds of little Armenian boy
refugees from the Turkish massacres,
who have been organized into scout
troop in Constantinople as the solution
of one of the most troublesome prob
lens that confronted the Near East Re.
lief workers in that city.
Hounded and driven for four years,
having seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worse by Turks and
Kurds and themselves forced to beg,
steal or do almost anything to exc out
the barest existence, these boys had
completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge in the Near
East Relief orphanges.
The boys had been clad in rags fol-
so long that they had forgotten how to
take care Of clothes. This was a tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need of
every pair of shoes and of every suit
Of clothes for new boys constantly com.
ing in.
Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniforms.
They began to be careful of their
school clothes as well as Of their uni.
forms.
They had been so often hungry they
had come to steal without compunc-
ton. When they first entered the or.
phanages they continued to steal. One
boy stole a purse from his American
teacher. For two or three weeks after
he became Boy Scout he was obvious
ly uneasy. One day he came to her
with the purse in his hand.
II don't want to give 1t back" he
said reluctantly. "But / have to. I'm
Z Boy Scout now"
TO form more scout troops to trans
form these little unfortunates into
