Between October 9Th and Sth the
people of Pullman will be called up
on to raise $500 as this city's share
of the fund necessary to carry on
the Boy Scout work in the Whit
man-Latah scout council. Similar
sums will be raised at ColfaX and
Moscow, with several smaller towns
slated for smaller quotas. Details
of the campaign for the raising of
the Pullman quota will be outlined
at a meeting of the Pullman Scout

WILL EDUCATE FANS
IN FOOTBALL LORE
Coach Gus" WEIGH Plans Instruc-
ton Glasses for Neophytes-WiH
Explain Rules and Forma-
tiOnS

Football instruction classes for To-
cal business men and private citizens
are planned by Coach Gus WEIGH,
who proposes to hold at least two
public meetings here before the open
ing Of the season at which Athletic
Director Boiler, Assistant Coach
Hack" Applequist and he will
explain to the football neophytes the
intricacies of the game. The
changes in the rules will be one OF
the first phases taken up and each
change will be explained in detail,
as we'll as the fundamental rules Of
the game. The various formations
will be discussed and the fans will
be given an idea as to what plays to
expect from the different formations.
Coach Welch is we'll pleased with
the work of his squad of huskies in
preliminary practice but is bending
every effort to develop pair OF
heavy, fast ends. Young Davis, Nc
Kay and Moran will likely be tried
at end positions before the end Of
the week in the coach's effort to
strengthen the extremes.
ITS my guess that the team that
wins the game at Portland October
20 when w, S, c. meets California,
will be the team that wins the Coast
championship, was the forecast
made by the coach He is not over
looking the strength OF the other
conference teams, however, and sees
in each a foe worthy the mettle OF
the Cougars.
Coach Welch is already gathering
together bunch of all-stars to battle
the Cougars October in the first
game of the season and predicts that
the varsity will be lucky to win by
one-touchdown margin. The Sat
ufday following the Cougars will
tourney to Spokane to do battle with
the Gonzagans and Coach WEIGH is
already volunteering the tip that the
Gonzaga game is likely to prove one
of the hardest of the schedule Then
in another week comes the ldaho
game and on October 20 the Call
fornia game at Portland. Oregon
University will be the attraction on
Homecoming" day, November D. on
Rogers field and on Armistice day
November II, the Cougars meet o.
A. C. at Corvallis. Washington Uni
versity has been signed for a game
at Seattle on November "a and De-
cember the Cougars will invade
California to meet Southern Call
fornia at Los Angeles. Notre Dame
is scheduled for a game at Tacoma
on New Years day unless the Cou-
CARS win the championship and are
chosen for the big game with the
eastern champs at Pasadena.

that no objections would be raised
TO building a storm shed at the rear

A second progress warrant was
ordered drawn in favor of the
standard Asphalt Paving company
for work on the North road. Ac-
cording to the estimate of the citv
engineer the work has progressed
to the extent of $2865.50 since the
last warrant was issued. Fifteen
per cent of this amount Will be re-
tanned by the city until the compile
ton of the work, the warrant to be
drawn in the amount of $2435.67.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
Of DIME NOVEL TYPE
nat;ve Damsel Used to Decoy
p.osnectiye Victim-Weir Jumps
When Auto Slows Down

W r. Weir, Pullman business
nan was the victim of an attempted
! rohbery of the dime novel type last
r.,dav evening, but outwitted the
hipbwaymen and "highwaywoman"
nd escaped from the trio with only
,.;nor bruises. Shortly before 500
,,olock last Friday evening Mr. Weir
,tortad to the home of Joe Rima, in
mo east part of the city. When he
roached the concrete bridge on East
Main street he was accosted by a
woman who asked where Main
street was. Mr.. Weir informed her
that she was standing on Main street
and that the business section is to
The west. The woman continued to
carry on rambling conversation,
stating that she came here from Sc
attic, by way of Spokane, and was
more or less lost in the city. Mr..
Weir was in a hurry to reach his des
tinaton so started on, but had gone
only few steps when a large auto
mabile drove up and stopped. A man
Jumped out of the back seat and
thrust a gun in Mr.. Weir's ribs, at
the same time commanding him to
hold up his hands. Mr.. Weir COM
piled with the command and was
searched, but the highwayman over
looked some loose change which he
carried in a back pocket and got
nothing.
Mr.. Weir was then ordered into
the back seat of the automobile,
with the gun man, while the woman
got into the front seat with the driv-
err. The driver started toward Mos
cow, but after they had gone a few
hundred yards, decided to go to Col
fax instead and took the new paved
street to the main section of the
city, Mr.. Weir conversed with his
captors during the trip and made up
his mind to call for help when he
reached Main street. The automo-
bile was travelling at maximum speed
through Main street, however, anC
he deferred his attempt to escape I'M
Ill the car reached the foot of West
Main street. Here the driver slowed
down to shift gears and Mr.. Weir
opened the door and started to jump
out. The highwayman in the back
seat grabbed him by the left arm and
Mr. Weir threw up his right arm and
grabbed the robber by the coat col.
lar pulling him close to the open

the rlghwayman and fell to the pave

FINES IMPOSED FOR
PARKING VIOLATIONS
Students Claim Fines Assessed
Against G. J. Kim and Ralph s.
Marble Unwarranted

Students of the state College are
up in arms" at decision rendered
by the local police court Wednesday
morning, when several students, as
we'll as a number of citizens, were
assessed fines on charges of viola
ton OF the city automobile parking
ordinances. Among the students
cited to appear was c. j. Kim, who,
it was charged, had permitted his
car to remain parked on a residence
street overnight Mr.. Kim stated
that his car was taken from it's
proper parking place late at night
and unknown to him by students to
carry Edward Williams, who was in
Jured in an underclass fTacas, to
fraternity house. Upon returning
the car the students are alleged to
have failed to park it properly and
Wednesday morning the red tag cit
ing the owner to appear in court
was found attached. Mr. Kim told
/ his story to the court but was as
sessed fine OF s. and costs by JUS
tice Henry, despite his protestations
of individual innocence
Friends of Mr.. KIM who is
foreign student, believe that an in
justice has been done and steps will
| be taken to correct the alleged
wrong, either through payment of
| the fine and costs by students or by
carrying the case to a higher court.
Ralph S. Marble is another coll
lege student who was fined So and
costs by Justice Henry under the
ordinance which forbids parking on
a residence street for longer than
four hours. Mr.. Marble argued that
the car had not been parked for
four hours when the red tag was
attached to the machine early We'd
nesday morning and persons who
were in court at the time of the
hearing allege that Chief of Police
/ Bashaw, who filed the information
! - N''Nii'''' nv = l'SiCt " HHuiCd't
that thai clause of the ordinance
| had been violated. Chief Basiaw is
! alleged to have stated in court that
! he did not leave his home until $3.50
in the morning and attached the red
notice tag soon afterward. II Is
pointed out that under these cir
cumslances he had no way of know
ing how long the car had been
parked Marble asked the court 20
read the city ordinance to him aud
was advised that there was no copy
/ handy. He paid his fine and costs
under protest and demanded a re-
ceipt for the money
Many private citizens have voiced
opposition to the assessing Of fines
against newcomers for trivial Yio.a-
tions OF ordinances with which they
are not familiar
Others who paid fines Of s. and
costs for parking law violations in
Justice Henry's court Wednesday
morning are Verl d. Keiser. F. p.

WHEN THE CENTURY BEGAN
Mode of Reckoning Is Simple, Vet the
Matter Is Frequently Subject
of Dispute.

The Twentieth century began on the
first day of January, 1901. In COM
mon usage the First century means
the years A. d. to 100; the Second
century the years 101 to 200; and the
Nineteenth century the years A. d.
1901 to 1900. The Fifth century be-
fore Christ was 500 to 401 B. 9. A
century begins with the beginning of
the first day in its first year, and does
not end until the close of the last day
in it's hundredth year. The mode of
reckoning is often confused with the
common mode of stating the age Of a
person. A person born at the begin
ming of the Christian era would be
called one year old during his second
year, that is during the course of the
year two; he would be called two
during the year three; and forty dur
ing the year forty-one. etc.

ANYWAY, COIN WASN'T THERE
And When You Think of 1t, Johns
Suggestion May Have Been
Pretty Nearly Correct.

He was a good-natured but rather
,simple-minded father, and he said to
his SON.:
"John, I've been informed that If
any one buried a half-dollar in the
garden al. night and let themoon shine
on 1t, the. next morning it would be
tive-dollar gold piece"
"Well, dad" answered the son, 81
should try it; you never know your
luck"
The father agreed. When morning
arrived he hurried into the garden.
The coin had disappeared. He rushed
back into the house and exclaimed to
John:
Its gone, John. How do you ac-
count for that?"
Jehn answered modestly:
"All / can suggest, dad, is that you
got up too late and the sun (son) got
at it."-Houston Post.

never made anything else" There is

Sometimes we come across one of
