The habit of marking up your
books can be made to help you
study, instead of to keep you from
It. Try making notes along the mar
gin. Mark passages you want 70
have explained or want to find out
more about Underscore; the most

"Cramming' for Exams.
Another way to keep from wading
all through a text book to cram"
for an examination is to outline each
lesson very briefly when you first
go through 1t. You'll be glad you
have these outlines when exami-
nation-time rolls around.
A boy friend of the writer's has
worked out a system of outlining
lessons that seems satisfactory. A

takes a very thin piece of paper.

book. and on II writes a short sum

the important points. He places the
summary between the pages az the
end of each lesson Just before an

gether, reads them over carefully
and is 1t any wonder he never wor-

Note-Taking.
Note-taking i'm class is often a
source of trouble. At least 1t was
to the writer until some one told
him to make a code of abbrevia-
tons for common words. For in
stance, imp" was used for I'm
portant." The writer made out a
list of these and used them regu-
larly. II you use this system be
careful to make your notes COM
plete enough to convey the full
meaning.
Here are some helps that one
girl uses in studying history.
l. Find a comfortable place in
which to work. away from noise.
2. Read the lesson over the first
time. making notes for a summary.
3. Read 1t again and afte" each
division stop and try to recits aloud
what has been read.
4. Imagine you are teacher and
ask yourself questions. Those you
can't answer look up later.
5. White out a summary
Not a bad system. Maybe you
can scheme up a better one than this.
Anyway. it's worth trying-isn't It?

Idaho Defeats
Willamette By
Score Of 23-17

Moscow, Idaho, Feb. 15.-In the
most exciting game seen on a 10.
cal floor his season, the University
of Idaho basketball team last
night defeated willamette univer-
sity tossers by a score of 23 to IT.
Idaho maintained a small lead
throughout the session, but it's edge
was so small that at no time was
the outcome certain.
The outstanding feature of the
game was the excellent passing OF
both fives. Willamette was handi-
capped materially in the second
period when Jackson, center, was
sent o the showers. The first half
had ended IA to Z in favor of the
locals.
Wymen. with 10 points, ami
Shafer, with eight, were the stars
of the game. A stiff session is in
prospect when Idaho meets Will
lamette in Salem February %, and
the locals are frank to say they
may be defeated on the Salem
floor.

suggest the purchase of fruit.
Buy 'Em Anyway.
"Prune week" workers insist that
regardless of whether there are
prunes at home, Salemites should
buy the fruit as extensively as pos
sibfe. Prune, it is pointed out, may
be purchased at 10 cents per
pound, and cheaper, and at that
price may be bought by many to
send to friends in the east.

that prunes of like excellence NAV

Senate Votes
Increase In
Two Salaries
Corporation Commits
sioner and Superin-
tendent of Instruc-
tion Get Relief

The senate was in no mood to
delay action on pending legisla-
ton this morning and firmly sat
down on attempts by Senator
Strayer to table senate bills 107
and 100 involving increases in the
salaries of he state superintendent
of public instruction and the state
corporation commissioner.
Both bills were passed through
the upper house by substantial ma
jorities. One increases the salary
of the superintendent from $4,000
to $4,000 a year. The other increas-
es the salary of the corporation
commissioner from $4,000 to S3,-
, 600.
Both bills had the unanimous
endorsement of the committee on
county and state officials. On 9TH
er proposed salary increases, il
was stated by Senator Bell the
] committee was divided and would
probably report them out with two
reports to be threshed out in the
senate.
Consideration of senate bill 242
by Farrell, giving to the child well
I fare commission advisory juris-
diction over all adoptions in this
state whether from a child caring
institution or a private home, oc-
cupied practically half the time of
this mornings session. The bill
came in on a divided report with
a majority favorable to the meas
ure.
Senators Vinton. Eddy and Ry-
an led the attack on the measure
which they insisted, sought to
stitute the child welfare commis-
sion a per-commission with the
right to pry into the private af-
fairs of every home which sought
to adopt a child. This, they declar-
ed, was carrying the supervision
of the commission too far and
could only result adversely to
those children who were seeking
homes.
