Washington, the capital of the
nation, has more spots of historic i'm
portance and interest than any other
city in America There Is scarcely a
block that does not contain some hal
lowed memory of a great deed done
or of a famous man that marked the
destinies of the nation. Even un-
developed outskirts of the city-the
fields and lanes and rivers-are
crowded with the incidents that
nodded what is now the greatest

The young fruit pods Of the Unison
weed of our fields, when exposed to

producing many new or mutant types

The scientific research work de-
scribed by DR.. eager is being carried

continuation of previous Investigations

ALL-COLLEGE PLAY
choice ANNOUNCED

IT," play by Lord Dunstan, has
been chosen as the all-college dra-
matte vehicle to be put on this spring
by University of Idaho dramatic stu
dents, according to an announcement
from Professor John Cushman, head

taken to Spokane, where it will be
|shown before an audience of approx
mately 1000 people, during the In
land Empire Teachers association
convention, during the first week in
April
The university authorities feel very
much complimented that play given
by University of Idaho students
should be given this preference, and
are promising that this years pro-
duction will be unusually well adapted
to university talent.
The book Of the play is being put
on reserve in the university library,
where all students wishing to try out
for parts may obtain it. Trials will
be given in the near future by Pro-
fessor Cushman.

COAL Mine fires
BURNsMANY|lYEARS

Springfield, Ill.-(A. P.)=Fires
burning for years in coal mines, deep
beneath the ground, are one of the
unsolved problems of coal mining in
Illinois.
Many of these fires, walled up years
Iago. recently have caused trouble in
Isouthern Illinois mines, according to
Robert M. Medill, director of the state
department of mines and minerals.
The Donk brothers mine at Collins
willie, the North mine of the Illinois
and Indiana Coal corporation at Witt,
and several mines near Springfield
| have been compelled recently to seal
up portions of their workings to pre-
vent the spread of those smouldering
| furnaces, which burn without stop
ping in the hidden chambers under
ground One mine was ordered closed
entirely.
The fires start in the refuse which
lis left after the coal is dug and are
|caused by process similar to spon-
|taneous combustion, according to Mr..
Medill. The miners call them "gob
fires" from the word applied by coal
diggers to the debris in the mine
They do not fare up in flame, but
SlOWlyy away luz
years until they eat themselves out of
fuel. Chambers where these fires |
start become a mass of live red Goals |
and must be sealed up to keep the
air from them.
The trouble is caused when a fire |
eats it's way through a wall and
threatens to break through into the |
mine workings. Sometimes the
smouldering Goals eat up the sup
porting coal pillars resulting in
the support for the ground
above.
These fires cannot be extinguished
by water, Mr. Medill stated. Water
only makes them worse 1t is the
resulting from the
mixing of water and the refuse that
causes the original combustion. The
only way to stop the fires is to re-
move the burning Goals from the mine.
Many such fires may be seen on slack
piles on the surface in this section Of
the state These can be flooded with
water and extinguished Mr.. Medill
stated

< HONOR FIRST" is NEW
JOHN GILBERT FILM

With John Gilbert in the star role
| 6 Honor First" his latest William Fox
Feature, will open at the Liberty
! theatre, Thursday and Friday. Press
reports from other cities where this
picture has been shown accord it high
praise. Many who have reviewed the
feature assert that Gilbert is at his
best.
The story deals with the difference
lin character and temperament be-
tween twin brothers, both of whom
lserved in the French army during the
war. Gilbert portrays both brothers.
His work as the cowardly brother is
said to be especially worth while.
This characterization calls for extra
ordinary force in acting.
Not only is the story of the picture
intensely gripping and worth while,
but the photography and direction are
declared to be of the best Jerome
Storm, who is fast becoming one of
the foremost directors in the film
world, staged the picture. gs@
Many of the scenes were photo
gra phed under extraordinary condi-
tions and are described as master
