SPRING SPORTS CLAIM
ATTENTION AT u. OF /

With the winter sports ended, the
Intramural Athletic league of the
University OF Idaho composed of
teams representing the various mems
groups on the campus, is now turning
its attention to the preliminary
spring sports. The indoor track meet
will be held March in Lewis court

permits the league will repeat each of
these sports outdoors. AT the end of
the season championship cup will

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
team now leads with first place in
basketball, second in football and
fourth in cross-country running.
Candidates for positions on intra-
mural league teams are subject to
stringent training and eligibility rules,
which raise the standard of the con
tests above the ordinary.

was something very daunting in his

IDAHO STUDENTS TO
GIVE SPOKANE PLAY
Select List to Present off" at the
Teachers Convention in Spo-
kane, April a to 6.

| A University of Idaho all-college
cast has been selected to present q
play at the annual convention of the
Inland Empire Teachers association
at Spokane, April 4 to 6, according to
statement by James A. Burke, sec
rotary of the association. Lord Dun
says IF" has been selected as the
vehicle by Professor ]. H. Cushman,
director of dramatics, and work is al
ready going forward Several of the
leading members of the cast have
been chosen.
Preliminary tryouts have resulted
in Pearl Stalker of Boise and Abe
Golf of Walla Walla, Wash, being
chosen for the leading parts. Other
important roles will be played by
Maxwell Sholes of Moscow, Rex Kim
mel of Kicco, Fla, Marie Gauer of
Payette land Mary Kelly of Denver,
Colo With the exception of Miss
Gauer and Miss Kelly, other members
selected so far have appeared in sew
eral other university productions
Being selected to present the main
entertainment at the teachers con-
vention is considered high tribute
to the ability of the actors developed
at the university. The play chosen
is considered unusually difficult for
college students, but Professor Cush-
man believes that he has a cast which
will give a pleasing Interpretation.

THE JOURNEY IN THE WILDER
NESS.

Mountains story, as it was laid
before Sir William Johnson and my
lord, was shorn, of course, of all the
earlier particulars, and the expedition
described to have proceeded unevent-
fully, until the master sickened. But
the latter part, was very forcibly re-
lated, the speaker visibly thrilling to
his recollections; and our situation
then on the fringe of the same desert,
and the private interests of each, gave
him an audience prepared to share in
his emotions For Mountains intelli

my Lord Durrisdeer, but materially
affected the designs of Sir William

bud. Here, on the borders, he learned

INSTALLMENT SO.


Mountain was the first sentry; he
declares he neither slept nor yet sal
down, but kept his watch with per
petual and straining vigilance, and it
was even with unconcern that (when
he saw by the stars his time was up
he drew near the fire to waken his
successor This man Git was Hicks the
shoemaker) slept on the lee-s1de OF
the circle, somewhat further off in
consequence than those to windward,
and in a place darkened by the blow
ing smoke Mountain stopped and took
him by the shoulder; his hand was at
once smeared by some adhesive wet
ness; and (the wind at the moment
veering) the freight shone upon the
sleeper and showed him, like Pinker-
ton, dead and scalped.
1t was clear they had fallen in the
hands of one of those matchless Indian
braves that will sometimes follow
party for days, and, in spite of indie
fatigable travel and unsleeping watch,
continue to keep up with their adj
vance and steal scalp at every rest
ing place. Upon this discovery, the
treasure-seekers, already reduced to
poor half-dozen, fell into mere dismay,
seized a few necessaries, and desert
ing the remainder of their goods, fled
outright into the forest. Their fire

All day they ceased not to flee, eat

and since they feared to sleep, con-
tinued to advance at random even in
the hours of darkness. But the limit
of mans endurance is soon reached;
when they rested at last, it was to
sleep profoundly and when they woke,
it was to find that the enemy was still
upon their heels, and death and mutt

the East Indian was thought to be in
sane, partly from the fact that,
through all the horrors of the flight
and while others were casting away
their very food and weapons, Secundra
continued to stagger forward with
mattock on his shoulder; and partly
because, in the last days and with
great degree of heat and fluency, he
perpetually spoke with himself in his
own language. But he was sane enough
when it came to English.
You think he will be gone quite
away?' he asked, upon their blessed
awakening in safety.

almost with incoherence as he de-

The Old Mechanic Says:

Don't kid the man who keeps his
engine clean. He isn't fussy': he's
precautions. 1t isn't because he
power plant. but because he doesn't
want the repair man TO hold a con-
sultation over it every other day.

keep his engine Spic and span YOU
can make up your mind to two things
he's going to prevent trouble and
find trouble which ordinarily hides
under dirt. You have no idea how
much trouble can iurl under a good
coating of road dust and grease.
The car owner who goes over the
engine with a little Kerosene and Il
few clean rags is bound to discover
Ill the loose nuts. bolts and screws
He fnds the leaks and won't rest in
peace until he has stopped them. He
finds the ignition wires coming loose
or a. break in the insulation of one of
them. He finds things badly in need
Of Ereasing. The rottinG water con-
nections to the radiator catch his eye
and he sometimes discovers that the
oil indicator isn't doing its duty.
"Ali this because he keeps the en-
Eine clean and gets down to the facts.

clean the engine and see where ]

Happiness, 1t is pointed out. is In

Speaking to Dad.

There are more than pecuniary rea-
sons why you should show respect
for your car by taking the best of
care of it, Not the least OF these is
the example you should set before
the younger generation. whose atti-
tude toward property and the care
az it is very largely Influenced by that
displayed by parents
Imagine what splendid citizens the
nations children would grow up to
be IL every housewife decided never
TO dust a piece of furniture nor call
up the plumber the moment some
thing went wrong with the drainage.
Picture the younger generation grow
ing up in atmosphere where
broken window panes in the home
would remain unattended to, where
chandeliers showed half the bulbs
burned out, or where no one ever
look the trouble to sweep up the
cellar
Sounds fanciful. Even in the most
modest homes much effort is daily
expended in keeping things present
able and usable. This process would
continue if only for the good ihflu-
ence a well-cared-for home eXertS
upon those who are brought up in it.
But from appearances the automobile
is not in the same class with the
home.
1t is well TO remember that to
many young people the automobile
stands out conSpicuously. which
means that il is capable OF great
influence on their lives They live"
in the family car large portion Of
the time, and they are keen to OBJ
serve that father shows no evidence
OF valuing 1t. Therefore, why should
they? For is he not dad, the famous

Worth Remembering.

Ever spill water over the radiator
when refilling it and then wonder
how you're going to dry it off SO as
not to leave the core streaked with
rust stains? The best solution to this
problem is to brush off the core OF
the radiator with a whisk broom. This
skaters the water and removes all
traces of streak
When driving through the city it's
a bad idea TO keep the head always
in the same position. Door panels,
rain curtains and the side attach
