JUNIOR PROM TO BE
PLEASING EVENT

The 1921 Junior prom slated for
this Friday evening promises to be
one of the most pleasing social
events of the season. The juniors
have worked untiringly to carry out
well arranged plans to make the af-
fair success.
The hall has been decorated most
artistically and individually with
the class colors, and the walls and
ceiling arc interlaced with net
work of black and gold. The coy
corners and punch booth have been
made most enticing and the suppo-
sition is that the merry dancers will
regret that an evening so full Of
real pleasure lasts but such a short
while.

NO AIRPLANE PATROL
FOR IDAHO FORESTS

ldaho's hopes Of forest airplane
patorls were very weak Tuesday
following receipt of telegram from
Addison T. Smith, member of con-
gress, who had been asked to take
up with executive officials the re-
ported army plan to limit the patrol
to California and Oregon only.
The congressman said:
Western members are co-operat-
ing towards securing if possible adj
ditional appropriations to permit ex-
tending aerial patrol forest service.
Secretary of War Baker contends
that under existing appropriation it
is impossible for him to extend the
service to Idaho, Washington and
Montana"

Red-Haired Old Maids
Scarce, Says Briton

London.-"Have you noticed
that there are very few red-hair-
ed old maids?" said an authorita-
tive anthropologist. "Red-hair-
ed people are Of very high or
der of intelligence. Consequent
ly red-haired girls have many adj
mirers and marry young"
His opinion was expressed
relative to the statement of a
cinema producer that brunettes
are cleverer than blondes. Sew
eral scientists agreed generally
that both men and women of
dark complexion are quick-wit-
ted and imaginative, while the
great majority of fair people are
more hardheaded but a little
slower in mental response.

FAMINE IN GAS
Can Be HALTED
Judicious Use of Fuel
Oil Will Help, Says
Expert

From 1909 to 1918 the number oil
cars and trucks in service has in.
creased about 100 per cent, and
during the same period gasoline pro.
duction made gain of Sc per cent
while crude oil increased only 95
per cent in the United States. This
combined with q growing demand
for fuel oil for marine purposes and
the fact that production of gasoline
is rapidly approaching limit, means
a possible famine, or at least an i'm
portant increase in the price of gas
oline, according to N. c. A. Smith
OF the bureau of mines, department
of the interior.
This problem may be solved by the
judicious use of fuel oil, which con-
stitutes more than so per cent of the
products obtained from crude oil re-
fined in this country, and which, if
used in raising steam under boilers
and in internal combustion engines
of the Diesel type, would be more
profitable.
IF engineers are able to design
an automobile or truck engine"
states Mr.. Smith, that will use fuel
oil in satisfactory manner, they
will relieve the danger of the i'm
pending shortage and make possible
the desirable extension of the use
OF the automobile truck.
"The last ten years." declared
Mr.. Smith, "have seen an enormous
increase in the demand for petrole-
UNI products. This increased demand
has been felt in all phases of the oil
refining industry, especially in the
fuel, Illuminating and lubricating
oil branches. The biggest increase
OF all, however, has been in the de-
mand for motor gasoline, which has
been caused by the tremendously
rapid growth in the use of the auto
mobile. The number of trucks and
cars in service increased about LOO
per cent from 1909 to 1913"
