OAK MARKS VENERATED SPOT
ed Altar to the Lord Has Been
Carefully Preserved.

1t Is recorded that when Abraham
was promised the possession of the
land of Canaan and was commanded
to walk through the land he 're-
moved his tent, and came and dwelt
in the plain of Mamre which is In
Hebron, and built there an altar to
the Lord This spot is still marked
by a great oak. venerated alike by
Christian, jew and Mohammedan. 1t
Is TO this protection that one must
attribute its preservation In region
cleared of almost all trees by the Inn
provident Turk. The species Is not
uncommon In Palestine and Major
Portal, while stationed at general head
quarters of the British army there,
sent to Kew gardens a small box of
fruit Of Abraham's tree. Sir Joseph
Hooker visited the spot In 1860 and
wanted TO secure a specimen Of the
wood for Kew, but no one would cut
off a bough. II was only when the
snow, which visited Jerusalem in 1855
and which did not spare Hebron, had
broken down one of the oaks branches
he was able to secure a portion of It
which IS to be seen to this day In one
of the Kew museums. But more
practical fame awaits the tree, for il
is with it that the Syrian forests will
probably be rehablitated In the bright
era which Is dawning now that the
Turk no longer rules the land.

VICTORY SCORED
IN FIRST GAME
caesars Defeat Fast University of
Idaho Five in Opening Basket
Ball Game of Season

In the first game of the Northwest
Conference basket ball season the
c,ate College Cougars Tuesday met
and defeated the renowned cham
nionship team representing the Uni
,srsity of Idaho at Moscow by the de-
,,s;ve score of 32-17. The Boiler

.osk that confronted them in meet

tive wears has carried away the con-
ference title, and further instilled be-
cause they were playing without the
aeryices of Copeland, who was out
on account of faculty ruling, never
For one moment stopped the close
Guarding and spectacular basket toss
ing that shattered all hopes for a
Gem State victory.
For an early season game, the con-
rest was unusually fast, both teams
showing excellent team work. As
the fine condition of the Boiler men
was noticeable in comparison to that
Of the Hutchinson men. The Idaho
men entered the contest without the
services of Moe, their mainstay in
the forward position, which no doubt
handicapped their work. Moe
knee is healing rapidly, however, and
probably will be in shape for the next
contest.
The early part of the game was
closely played, the guarding of Nc
Ivor and Kotula preventing the Gem
State forwards from breaking into
the limelight with spectacular shots.
The first hall ended with the score
1913 in favor of the Cougars. The
second half was entirely a Washing
ton State session, the Idaho men add
ing only three points to their score,
while the Boiler men passed the ball
around among themselves seemingly
at will and without interference.
Every man on the team played won
derful ball in this period.
Moss and Hockey contributed the
most points for the State College
victory, but they were assisted in this
by the close guarding of McIvor and
Kotula At center Cisna PLAYED the
major portion of the game and

Birds, Speed Deceptive.

An interesting check on some OF
those gunners who know their bird was
flying 100 miles an hour because they
had to lead him steen feet would be
to paint a duck on n long board at
the end of an express train running
at, say 60 miles an hour, and let the
gunner blaze away at the painted duck
at normal ducksshooting ranges to
check up the speed of the painted bird,
with the '1ead" necessary to give the
charge to hit the wild duck alleged TO
have gone 100 miles per. Neither train
nor long winged honker gives a fair
idea of the actual speed because they
are both large; the little bird often de-
ceiyes.

SURVIVAL OF OLD CUSTOM
Why Mr.. Newlywed Invariably Turns
to Kiss His Bride at Conclusion
Of Ceremony.

"Aw. can't they wait until they get
homer" Is what many little page at
his big sisters wedding has said at
least 10 himself, when. at the conclu-
sion OF ceremony. the happy man
turned and kissed the bride. They
kissed each other. Of course. but II
is he who turned.
No. little brother. they cannot walt.
II is part of the game. This Is a sur
vIvai Of custom Of ancient times
when II preceded by longer time the
ceremony which II now ends.
In the days when public betrothals
or espousals were the general prac.
tice. many on aspiring sutton did not
have the wherewithal to end0w his
prospective bride with the ring which
was supposed to-jcomplete the cere-
mony. However, kiss duly performed
before witnesses was considered suffi-
GENTLY binding.
Who will blame these ancestors OF
ours " they came without rings then,
or having the ring, demanded In addi-
ton the alternative. until the official
seal reverted back to natures own?
And who will blame the modern
bridegroom II for lack OF q ceremony
OF betrothal he has chung to his priv
ilege and transferred II to his wedding
day?

Why Frost Injuries Food.

An egg expands when II Is frozen
and breaks Its shell. Apples contract
so much that a full barrel will shrink
until the top layer Is a foot below the
chine. When the frost Is drawn out
the apples assume their normal size
and ill the barrel again. Certain vari.
cites are not apprecnbly injured by
being frozen II the frost is drawn out
gradually. Apples will carry safely In
refrlgerating car while the mercury
is registering fully 20 degrees below
zero Potatoes, being so largely com
posed of water. are easily frozen. Once
touched by frost they are ruined.

why China Wants Newspapers.

During the last few years the de-
mand' for waste foreign magazines.
pamphlets and newspapers has been
very great In China among hawkers,
who buy these periodicals and pay
nearly one-thlrd of what they cost
originally. Their use is probably to
make soles for sandals for the poorer
classes of Chinese TO wear 10 place Of
shoes.
If the waste magazines contain
some war pictures they will be put
to better use than the making of
soles. Chinese who are too poor to
get an education and who can't read
or write find the best way of getting
some knowledge Of world affairs
through the medium of the pictures in
foreign magazines.
