The late William Dean Howells, one
Of our best loved authors and literary
authorities, said Of Kathleen Norris !:
'She puts the problem, or the fact. or
the trait before you by quick. vivid
touches Of pOrtraiture or action. II
she lacks the final touch Of Frank Nor
ris' power, she has the compromising
gift Of a controlled and concen-
trated observation"
Kathleen Norris is one Of that mod
ern school which is bringing the Pa
cidc Coast into such prominence as a
seat of literary ability. She was born
In San Francisco and has been writing
since 1910. She has contributed short
stories and serials to all the leading
magazines and her books have been
widely read. The latest to 60 into seri-
al form IS Harriet and the Piper"
which will be printed in this paper.
It Is a treat and we hope no present
or prospective reader win miss it.

HOW THE SERVICE MEN STAND
Checking Up at Washington by Legion
Reveals That Many Members
Are in limsiieht

When President Harding replied to
Representative Lamar Jeffers. Ala
bama, and the legislative committee of
the American Legion that there were
no ex-service men Of outstanding
qualifications to be members OF the
American commission to the interna.
tional disarmament conference, there
vas a checking up In Washington to
determine how service men stand In
the eyes Of the American electorate.
A statement later issued by the IR-
gion showed that the President ap-
pointed an eX-service man as secretary
OF the navy and another assistant Sec
rotary. His alien property custodian
was In service during the war. The
assistant postmaster general is an ex-
service man. An A. f.. F. veteran is
head Of the national budget. The
President confided the task Of organ
izing the new veterans bureau to Il
former soldier.
The public has elected &c men who
served either I'm the army or the navy
to the house of representatives and
two to the senate. In nearly a dozen
states service men are the governors.
Eight members Of Secretary Hoover's
national committee ON unemployment
were ex%-service men.

The bulletin insists that providing

ably the most efficient way Of arrang-
ing for proper supervision, it says, is
through an unpaid commission of
three or five members which in tnrn
employs an executive officer. Meth

Claims Of Philetaerus.

The custom Of stealing a poor mans
patent and claiming it as ones owl is
pretty ancient. observes the Detroit
News. Governor Philetaerus of Per
gamum, a city in Mysia, Asia Minor,
is cited as one Of the first examples
among the exalted pilferers, for arche-
Ologists give him the credit Of having
invented tile art of making parchment
in 230 3. c.. though they admit that
It was probably q humble artisan who
first conceived the idea Of preparing
the skins of animals in such a way
that they could be used for writing
purposes.
Phlletaerus. by the way, didd't en-
Joy his laureis over-lOny. He lost
his province to King Attalus in 1874.
And this ruler, taking advantage OF
the existence Of parchment. estab-
iished a library which, in those days,
was considered quite q marvel. 1t
contained all of 500 manuscripts.

That the wool pool is doing some
general good among eastern buyers
giving farmers a better price,
may be judged from q statement re-
centely appearing in one of the Boston
wool market papers, as follows:
ut is probably true that the wool
business must this year be done on
a closer margin than was formerly
usual in normal years. If for no other
reason the attitude of the Western

AMERICAN WOMEN HAVE
MOSTEPOWERFUL LOBBY

OF interest to Moscow club women
and particularly to the members of
the Moscow League of Women Voters
is the article in the Ladies Home
Journal of April entitled "The Most
Powerful Lobby in Washington by
Charles A. Se1den. The article tells
of the accomplishments for human
welfare brought about through the
work of the American woman and of
the power Of the woman vote
'The Most Powerful Lobby in Wash
ington" is characterized as "the pub
lie welfare lobby, backed by seven
million organized American women .
One paragraph Of the article is strik-
ing in its description of the power of
the vote of the American women, as
follows:
Whether honest hater or sincere
sympathizer or one who truckles un-
der because of his dread of the wo-
man vote, the member of Congress
now knows absolutely that these wo-
men organizations, with national
headquarters at Washington, ramify
to every township in the country.
He knows that all these organizations
with their different activities, some
of them superficially wide apart, have
one uniform, fundamental purpose
human welfare and that, when
requires it, they have the
perfected machinery for mobilizing all
their forces on single point of at
tack or defense"

Witha squad of 25, including eight
veterans, the University of Idaho
baseball team will soon take to the
field for a short training period in

conference season April 21 with
Washington State at Pullman.
The veterans on the Vandal squad
are Captain Percy O'Brien, and

and Grover Evans, outfielders; Frank
Kinnison and Rich Fox, catchers.
Coach Macmillan has charge of the
baseball crew.
At present the Idaho team appears
to be weak in pitching material but
this condition may yet be remedied by
the development Of a few of the many
candidates trying out for that posi-
tion.

SPRING FOOTBALL
FAVORED BY men
NO FRESHMAN BALL TEAM-TIME
TAKEN FOR GRIDIRON
PRACTICE

Idaho will have no freshman base
ball" This was the decision reached
by football and baseball men in a
recent meeting, when conditions had so
manifested themselves that it was
necessary to discontinue "frosh" base
ball, in order to allow Coach Thomas
Kelley the few weeks of remaining
school to teach the fundamental tao
tics of varsity football to next falls
squad.
Coach Kelley outlined to the men the
necessity of disseminating freshman
baseball, SO that all the available ma
terla1 for the coming football season
could be put through about six weeks
of signal practice, and rudimentary
workouts
Idaho Has Hard Schedule
Next fall Idaho has one of the
hardest schedules she has ever known
The entrance into the Pacific Coast
conference has placed the leading
teams of the Northwest and Paciffv
coast in the series of games
The first game of the season comes
IN the latter part of September with
Gonzaga, with the consequence that
the Vandals must devote the avail
able few weeks of spring to condi-
tioning for the fall training.
Coach Kelley has asked that all men
who like football or know anything
about it report for practice as soon as
weather conditions permit for active
Idaho must uphold her
standard of football and to do this
must be keen enough to
make the choosing of the team diff
cult.
