nearly perfect observance Of the
plan."
The board went on record as being
in favor Of practical subdivision
OF the amateur wave band between
80 and 220 meters, recommending
that this band be available for spe-
cial license continuous waves trans
mitters that wave lengths between
$50 and 200 meters be open to con-
tinuous wave general transmitters !:
that all modulated services. including
spark, AC. OW, ICW, unfiltered CIV.
and phone be restricted to the band
from 176 to 200 meters; and that all
types Of transmitters be permitted
ito operate at will on any wave
length within the band to which that
type Is eligible.
1t was requested by the board that
the department establish an addi-
tionaI grade of amateur operators
license. an extra first grade amateur
operator. the holding of such a IL
cense being necessary for an operator
to transmit on wave lengths above
200 meters. With reference to re-
quirements for this special license,
the board contends that a knowledge
of radio theory" should be held Sec
ondary to a minimum of two years
experience under a government anna
teur license and the ability to trans
nit and receive the code at a speed
Of twenty words per minute. 1t was
urged that the department do its ut
most to effect elimination OF spark

BASIC PRINCIPLES
OF BUSINESS LIFE
CHICAGO'S BIG BUSINESS MEN
PLAN WAY TO SUCCESS FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS

Chicago-(A P.)-Honesty, integ-
rity and faithfulnesS, character, love
of employer, ambition, personal neat
ness and unlimited cooperation, are
the chief qualities boys and girls
should cultivate in school in order to
become successfully fit for the bust
ness world, according to expressions
of more than score of Chicago's big
gest business men and employers who
were questioned on the subject by the
Association of Commerce. They al
most all said that high school edu-
cation is sufficient to the attainment
of the highest success, provided the
study in school is applied correctly to
the purpose of the future"
Extracts from some of the answers
follow:
'The fundamentals of a successful
business life should not be measured
in dollars and cents, but in achieve
ments," said J. e. German, president
of the Chicago Rock Island and Pa
c'fic railroad. Honesty, loyalty and
ambition may be stated as the basic
principles"
"Cultivate and form the habit of
trying to see the best side of your as
sociates and fellow workers; avoid
and suppress the habit of knocking
and disparaging others; cultivate
neatness tininess and cheerfulness,
courtesy and respect for those in au
thority,' says w. w. K. Sparrow, vice
president, Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul roalroad.
"Take advantage of each opportun-
ity that presents itself daily in your
student associations; hold on to ev-
cry problem until you get the solu-
ton; make the most of the opportun-
ity and you cannot fail to find mea-
sure of success and satisfaction, linn
tied only by the amount of intelli-
gent effort which you put into your
work." writes Albert H. Dyon, indust-
rial relations branch Western Elec-
trio Company.
"The gate of opportunity is wide
open to every young person who is in
real ernest and is in the line of work
most interestig to him; executives
are in constant search for steady-go-
ing young people with ideas and abil-
ity to demonstrate their value" Ell
bert G. Drew, secretary, Illinois Bell
Company.
High school training should give
a discipline in orderly mental habits,
in accuracy dependability and gen
eral attitude of alertness and eager
ness to grow" said John c. Shedd, |
chairman of the board, Marshall Field |
e and Company.
"Chose a task that you can put your
best efforts into and start without de-
lay; what counts most is the way you
go about doing whatever you take up; I
getting ON in business is much like /
a rope hand over hadn,"
Lucius Teter. president, Chicago /
Trust Company
"Pay strict attention to those
.hings for which you attend school,
earn as much as possible; do not dis
the school with which you are
connected. Give the best you have
md show loyalty. Seek to develop,
besides secellence in studies, some
hing which will train your body and
lfford you pleasure" Belvin T. Tray
or, president, First Trust & Savings
Bank

MANY MOSCOW PEOPLE
To SEE PULLMAN GAME

Many Moscow people and Univer-
sity of Idaho students will attend the
Oregon Washington State college
game at Pullman Saturday afternoon.
The annual Homecoming day of
Washington will also be observed and
plans have been made for quite an
extensive celebration in addition to
the important Pacific Coast confer
ence game.
Idaho students will be admitted
for 81 to the Pullman game upon pre-
sentation of University of Idaho stu
dent tickets. w. S. G. students were
admitted to the Idaho-Gonzaga game
on the same basis. Idaho will watch
the outcome of the Oregon-W S. G.
game with interest. Idaho won from
the Cougars, IA to 0, and tied with
Oregon giving Oregon an edge on
comparative scores to win. There are
some football followers who believe,
however, that the w. S. G.. Cougars
will win from Oregon. Idaho's Pa
cific Coast conference standing will
jump above Oregon's in the event of
a W. S. G. victory

take over PULLMAN
TELEPHONE PLANT
A. L. WEST, C. j. LANGDON, OF
MOSCOW CO., MAKE PUR-
CHASE-VALUE $135,000

A. T. West of Spokane and G.. J
Langdon of this city, owners of the
Moscow Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany, closed a deal last evening for
the purchase of the Inland Telephone
company, at Pullman, and will take
possession at once. Mr.. West was a
stockholder in the Pullman company
but the control was owned by J. G.
Ruth. The plant is now owned en-
tirely by Mr.. West and Mr. Langdon.
While the consideration is not made
public, it is known that the property
was appraised few months ago by
Walter Hradinger, former chief en-
gineer of the Washington state pub
lie utilities commission, at $135,000.
The Pullman plant is the same
type of plant as the Moscow plant,
which has been owned for a number
of years by Messrs. West and Lang
don, and is entirely modern, with
the Kellogg equipment throughout.
There are approximately 1900 phones
connected with the Pullman eX-
change The Moscow company al
ready owned the toll line to Spokane,
which has been used by both Pullman
and Moscow.
Mr.. West states that with the towns
so close together, and the conditions
so alike, it will be very easy to con-
duct the two under the same man
agement. While Mr.. Langdon, who
superintends the Moscow plant will
have general supervision over both
plants there will be a local mana
ger at each place. There will be no
change in the policy of the pullman
business and Mr.. Ruth, the former
owner, has kindly agreed to remain
in charge until the first of the year.
The Pullman plant is located in
brick building owned by the company
and included in the purchase The
Moscow plant is located in rented
quarters, but Messrs. West and Lang
don purchased the Skattaboe block
on Main street some months ago, and
expect eventually to fit the building
up for a home for the company.
Mr.. West, when seen by a Star
Mirror representative today, said that
he felt that he and Mr.. Langdon had
two of the most substantial
and prosperous town in the Palouse
country in which to invest, and felt
that both towns would continue to
grow and prosper. 1t is the intention
Of the company to give the best serv-
ice possible to be secured through
modern equipment and efficient en-
ployes.
