HUSK|ES HOLD
OREGON TO TIE

Seattle, Wash, Dec. In the
fourth quarter of a football game
in which a wonderful spirit of
fight made spectators marvel, the
University of Washington yester-
day afternoon managed to annex
the three points necessary to tie
the three counters made in the
first period by the University OF
Oregon.
Four unsuccessful kicks from
placement were attempted by Hal
Chapman, Oregon quarter, and
one of these, from the 40-yard line
missed it's mark by only a short
distance. Five times, during the
game, the Oregon machine drove
its way down the fold to points
near. the Washington goal but
only on the one occasion was il
able to score.
Washington also threatened OF
more than one occasion, but the
Oregon forwards, in their own ter
ritory, could not be passed FOL
necessary yardage.
AS a result Of the tie, no team
can now claim the championship
of the northwest conference.

ANTI SALOON

At BOOZE TEST

washington, Dec. THE Anti
saloon league is opposed to the
Sronosal that congress, with a
yiew to possible amendment Of
Tho volstead act, appoint "scien-
tific commission" to determine
what is intoxicating liquor.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel Of the organization, an
nouncing today that representa-
t,vos of the league and prohibit
tion workers from As states and
.ho District of Columbia had voted
,nanimously at a meeting to fight
such a resolution, declared "the
findings of such a commission
would serve no helpful purpose in
determining what legislation is
necessary to enforce the eigh-
teenth amendment"
1--WE believe this movement fol
so-called scientific commission
initiated by wet interests many
months ago, is not designed tc
work a solution Of thel aw enforce
ment problem" contended Mr.
Wheeler, "but on the other hand
IN confuse the issue, break dowr
law enforcement and ultimately
to secure the repeal OF the l8tf
amendment.
No scientific commission car

CHAPTER iX-Continued.

Then while Robert was telling her
love for her and his desire to help her
read and study, they walked slowly
back along the ragged rocks in the d.
rection Of the shanty.
They were almost at Polly's home
before he left her. She watched him
stride up the hill, and, after he had
disappeared, she threw herself fiat
upon the earth; and mingled with the
birds song in the willow trees, and the
rippling of the waves upon the shore,
came her cry:
"Oh, God dear l can't marry Oscar,
can't! You'll have to help the squat
ters some other way, darlin'."
The days that followed, bringing
with the spring flowers flocks Of sum
mer birds, seemed an eternity to Polly
Hopkins. She went about her duties
as one in dream. In spite of Rob
ert's efforts, several of the fishermen
had been sent to the Ithaca jail fo
petty crimes.
Two men had been trapped in tn
Bad Mans ravine and taken off to tn
iail without so much as farewell t
their families. Polly had groaned witt

too. Evelyn went white; and an
ejaculation fell from Mrs. Robertson's
lips.
Throwing a questioning glance from
one to the other, the girls eyes set
tied at last on Roberts face.
"They've took my Daddy Hopkins to

The expression of woe died in the

CHAPTER X.

As in nightmare the sQuatter girl
blundered along the path. back to the
hut, carrying Wee Jerry in her arms.
Granny Hope was hobbling from the
coop-hole when the girl stumbled over
the threshold.
Something awful's happened, huh,
Pollyop?" the woman faltered, and
limping across the floor, she bent and
gathered the thin small boy to her.
"Come to grandma, Jerry DEAR" she
coaxed, IAN hear wee bit about
Love-"
The grooming voice, choked with en-
treaty, touched the edge of Polly Hop
kins' soul. She swayed forward to her
knees, caught the one withered hand
extended to her and clung there.
'Tn set, my bird" mumbled Mrs.
Hope weakly, and she dropped into a
chair with Jerry in her lap. "There

Out of the shower of glistening curls
appeared a wan, fearful face.
"Daddy's been took to JAIL Granny

Mrs. Hopes sudden trembling broke
off the girls words; and Polly wep'
again in hopeless misery as the won

"God can't go in dirty Jail"
Then her face, lighted by radian
thought, lost its drabness; and for
