1922 DRYEST YEAR
since 1911 HERE
RAINFALL TOTAL BUT 1853 MS
THIRD LOWEST AMOUNT OF
PRECIPITATION.

The year 1922 in Moscow was the
dryest year since 1911 and the third
dryest year in the history of the CO.
operative weather bureau station,
established in 1892, according to the
monthly meteorological report issued
by F. L. Burkart, cooperative obser-
yer at the University of Idaho agricul-
tural experiment station. The total
rainfall for 1922 was 1859 inches.
In 1911 Moscow experienced her
lowest amount of rainfall, 1886 inches,
and in 1904 there were but 15.45
inches of rainfall The year 1922
therefore is a close contender for
second honors in the comparison Of
dry years.
The average annual rainfall in
Moscow for 80 years is 1924 inches.
During the month of December,
1922, there were three clear days, nine
part cloudy days, and 19 cloudy days.
The average temperature Of the month
just closed was 24.6 degrees with a
maximum of 296 degrees and a mean
minimum of 1877 degrees. The high
est temperature of AZ degrees came
on December "a, and the lowest tenn
perature was II degrees below on
December IL. There was 1851 inches
of snowfall during the month.

COST
IS Low AT idaho
COST OF INSTRUCTING EACH
STUDENT AT UNIVERSITY
BUT $33S

The cost of instructing each stu
dent at the University of Idaho is so
low that few state institutions can
compare with it, according to figures
from the United States bureau OF
education for 1922. In tabula-
tion of 20 representative institutions
the University of Idaho ranks eigh-
teenth, with the per capita cost of
instruction at 1898. Massachusetts
Agricultural college heads the list at
$1181, with Michigan Agricultural
college second with $500. There are
but two institutions on the list lower
than the University of Idaho. They
are Oregon Agricultural college and
the University of Montana, both list
ed at $312.
The figures in this tabulation are
believed by university officials to be
somewhat high, since they are based
on the number of students resident
in college courses and take no ac-
count of short course and summer
school students.
Salary Scale Low
Another report from the United
States bureau of education shows
that the average salaries of instruc-
tors at the University of Idaho are
among the lowest in America. 1t is
the lowest in the list of state insti-
tutions with an enrolment over 1000
and only seven other schools, with
of 500 or less, are lower
in the scale. This means, according
to university officials, that in select
ing new faculty members the Uni
versity of Idaho can compete only |
with these seven institutions, or that |
all but these seven can give such at
-ractive offers to present faculty
members that their services may be
ost to Idaho.
"I much appreciate the loyalty of
faculty. members who have retained
heir connection with the university,
lespite the comparatively low scale
# salaries said President A. H. /
Jpham. ''I know of several who
lave received attractive offers with
n the last biennium."

LOOKS like HAGAN
FOR SPEAkERSHIP

Boise-L r. Thomas of Blackfoot,
veteran senator from southeast Ida
ho, will be president pro tenn of the
senate of the seventeenth session OF
the Idaho state legislature, which
convenes here January in the
opinion Of members of the upper
house and political prognosticabOrs
assembled in the capital city. Chris
Hagan, Moscow merchant and presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce in
his city, seems to have the inside
track for the speakership of the
house, according to the same author
tiles. This feeling is strengthened by
the evidence of support which the
north Idaho man is getting from the
southern and southeastern counties.
The selection of Mr.. Hagan would
side track the ambition of another
north Idaho man, Nj. A. Kiger, of
speaker of the fifteenth ses-
sion and also that of Lloyd A. Fenn,
representative from Idaho county who
had similar aspiration Approximate
ly one-half of the membership of the
incoming legislative bodies has arrived

UNIVERSITY CLUB
DISCUSSES TESTS
INTELLIGENCE EXAMINATIONS
NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE AC-
CORDING TO OPINIONS

Members of the University club at
their recent weekly meeting discuss
ed the intelligence test following the
giving of the paper of the evening
"Misuses Of the Intelligence Test"
by Dr. M. F. Angel, dean of the Uni
versity of Idaho college of letters and
science. The paper pointed out the
shortcomings of the modern psyche
logical tests in measuring the native
intelligence Of the individual.
The meeting was we'll attended and
there was a great deal of discussion
following Dean AngelPs paper. Among
those entering into the discussion were
Dean Francis A. Thomson, Professor
]. w. Barton, Professor James M.
O'Gorman, Professor Dahm, Virgil
Kirkham, and c.. w. Hungerford.
Not Entirely Reliable
1t was generally conceded that the
intelligence test in its present state
of development is far from a reliable
indicator of ability that some appli-
cations have led psychologists to be-
lieve. However, the opinion was ex-
pressed by many that the future use
Of the intelligence test should aid
greatly in choosing the members OF
the commonwealth that should more
rightly deserve educational exploit
alton and backing.
The faculty men entering in the
discussion expressed the belief that
the intelligence test found it's first
use and good use in the army. The
use of the intelligence test in the
high school is not good, according to
opinions expressed, in that expert
enced people are not always in
charge. The definite use of the test
must be modified and the future use
depends upon thorough development

CANADIAN PARLIAMENT
TURNS DOWN DRY BILLS

Two bills submitted as amendments
to the Canadian national temperance
act which would curb the expectation
of liquor, were defeated in Parliament
on June 81, says an Ottawa, Ont, dis
patch. The first introduced in the
Senate by Sir George Foster, would
have made it unlawful to ship liquor
to any foreign country until a coun-
sullar certificate from that country had
been granted certifying that under its
laws the importation was legal. The
second would have made it unlawful
to export liquor to any vessel which
had previously been in the liquor trade
unless the owners showed proof that
its former cargo had reached its port
of destination.

it none too strong. When you laugh

REPEATER
LEADS TO BIG DRUNK

The effect of the repeal OF the dry
enforcement code in New York is
seen in the ever increasing number OF
DRINKS and the unusual activity Of the
bootleggers. The New York Tribune
of June Is says:
New York gunner serving as
mercenaries in the forces of rum
runners operating on eastern
Long Island have succeeded in
terrorizing the people of that re-
gion into state of tolerance and
in winning an immunity from off,
cial interference such as has not
been enjoyed by smugglcrs since

press the criminals who have been en-.
couraged by the repeal of the state
code. ....

CONFIDENCE OF TAMMANY

Wetness of New Empire State
United States Senator Is

FEAR COPELAND is DRY
Comforting of College Honors
on New Senator Arouses
Dark Suspicious

According to the Washington corr
respondent OF the Detroit Free Press,
Tammany Hall has become dubious
about the supposed wet attitude of the
new Democratic Senator from the
Empire State, Royal S. Copeland.
Tammany helped to elect DR.. Cope
land last November along with Gov
ernor Smith, and took it for gra tied
that the Doctor was a subscriber to
the wet doctrines of Al Smith.
Charles F. Murphy and his asSo-
ciates have been keeping tabs on Sea.

cording to reports that reach Wash.

when the time comes next winter fcr
Royal S. Copeland to rise in his place
in the United States Senate and de-
clare his position he is going to be
found voting with the drys, says the
Detroit Free Press correspondent
The story continues:
"Tammany men rubbed their eyes
two weeks ago when the announce
ment was made in Syracuse that Mr..
Copeland had been elected trustee
OF Syracuse University and that the
college had given him all IL. D. This
was followed in few days by the
announcement that he had been elect
ed trustee of the Carmel Seminary
for young women, also a Methodist
institution"

responsible for every murder commit
ted by bootleggers.
Harsh words, do you say? Yes, they
may sound harsh, but they are true.
The bootlegger could not exist except
through the buying of his whisky by
the bootlegger's copartner, the buyer
and the drinker of his whisky.
Every criminal act committed by the
bootlegger goes straight back to its
origin in. the purchase or the drinking
Of the bootlegger's whisky.
Every act of yours which helps on
the bootlegger business is an encour-
agement of immortality; perhaps unre-
allied by you at the present time but
certain to be seen in the future; and
the encouragement to violation of any
or all laws by your daughters OF. your
sons, or all with whom you are in

ASTOR PROTESTS WET
ENGLISH ANTI AMERI-
CAN PROPAGANDA

Lord Astor, speaking before
a charity organization OF Lon
don on June Is, on the subject
of prohibition, said that ever
since the United States had in
augurated its great experiment
on the. liquor problem, the Brit
ish liquor trade had been carry
ing on anti-American propa-
ganda. He condemned the de-
liberate attempts to misrepre-
sent everything associated with
the United States. 1t was a
tragic thing, he said, that while
anti-British propaganda in the
United States had ceased, people
were working in England to
misrepresent the attitude and
actions of America. Lord As
tor charged that the liquor
trade in England had a power
full organization which was de-
termined to turn Lady Astor
out of public life.
