ARMY is SILENT
REGARDING DEFEAT
MAJ. GENERAL HART
Reserve officer Is Elected
President of Quarter
masters Association.

Local regular army officers of the
quartermaster corps and members of
the National Quartermasters Associa-
ton, are silent regarding the defeat
of their candidate. Mai. Gen. William
II. Hart. for the presidency of the
association. General Hart, the quar-
termaster general OF the army. has
been the president of the association
but was defeated for reelection last
week at the biennial meeting Of the
executive board of the association
held in the Hotel Astor, New York.
Brig. Gen. X. c. Marshall. a reserve
officer was elected TO succeed the
Quartermaster general.
A bitter controversy has been GO
ing on between the civilian and
regular army factions of the Quarter
masters Association. and the real
question involved at the New York
meeting was whether Or not the quar-
tcrmaster general of the army should
by custom be the president of the
association. The regular army fac
ton gave all of its support in behalf
of the Inauguration Of such a custom,
but the result of last weeks meeting
proved a decided victory for the
civilian faction.
When civilian members Of the
executive board launched the cam

THE FLAPPER'S BURDEN.

Now it is nature that is conspiring
against the flapper News comes from
Breckenridge, in West Texas, that the
grasshOppers are passing UP the crops
in the field and banGueting off silk
hose and lingerie on clothes lines.
This indeed must be disturbing to
the peace Of mind-or. as some misogy-
nists would have it. the piece of mind
of the flapper. 1t is a sign of mod
ern times. and not so healthful sign,
that eaters generally are turning from
the good old solid foods to the truf-
files. so the grasshopper may be ex-
cused for finding more delight in
crepe de chine than cotton leaves. \
pair of teddies or a cobwebby stock.
ing even on a clothes line is q delect-
able confection that can be expected
to appeal to any creature, whether he
hops or walks with his two hind legs.
But in this is also demonstrated
that the flapper, being pioneer,
must bear the brunt of adverse forces
that otherwise would fall upon her
less forward sisters. The West Texas
grasshoppers, it is said, when silk is
lacking on the clothes line attack cot
ton clothing. So the old fashioned
woman can thank her stars for the
flappers. As long as there are plenty
of them and they continue to wear
stockings and underwear, the grass
hoppers won't bother her. - Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.

A DAMNING CRITICISM.

Mrs. ISABELLE Nitti Crudelle of Chi
cago, one of the two women recently
convicted of murder, and contrary to
the usual American custom, sentenced
to death, has her own explanation of
the reason for her conviction and SEN
tence. Speaking of another woman
recently acquitted of husband murder.
the Offense for which she is condemned
to die, Mrs. Crudelle says:
"Pretty face, shoot husband, no
babee, go free.
"Me, no good look babe no padre,
stay in all"
Mrs. Crudelle, whose ignorance of
everything, including the English Ian
guage, made it difficult for her to
understand her trial, seems neverthe-
less to have made some fairly acute
observations while she has been in this
country. There is nothing to add to
her criticism Of American judicial
methods as they apply to female Grim
inals. 1t is, in the main. just and is
thoroughly Misunderstanding Re

shall, regular army officers tainted
them by claiming disloyalty TO the
cause of the association, and that
many of the regular army officers
would withdraw from the organiza-
ton if it failed to elect the quar-
termaster general of the army as
president.
General Hart sought to stop the
unpleasant discussions by offering his
resignation, but the regular army
faction would not listen to this.
When the ballot was taken. however.
the reserve officer, Brigadier General
Marshall. president of the Marshall
and Maddox Company of New York,
was elected. During the war Gen
eral Marshall was head of the con-
I struction department of the quarter
master corps.
= Other officers elected at the meet
ing last week If the executive coun-
Gil are: First vice president, Brig.
Gen. A. c. Dalton: second vice presi-
dent, Brig. Gen. H. S. Sternberger !;
third vice president, Col. James A.
Moss; fourth vice president. Col.
+. l.. Devereaux fifth vice president,
Col. w. l.. Conrad.
General Hart was at one time sta
toned at Fort Sam Houston and is
well known in San Antonio. As
quartermaster general of the army
he will come to San Antonio on
tour of inspection some time during
October.

WHITE COLLAR JOBS

During the five years since the war,
when wages and prices have competed
80 strenuously for supremacy that
both have risen to fanciful levels, it
has been revealed that certain classes
OF employees can not be lured away
from their jobs by wages. Many school
teachers left behind in the general
wage advance refused to give up. They
contended that they liked their work
and could get along somehow.
In time they won a general wage
increase largely because the public felt
that they should benefit by the "cir-
cular staircase" attempt to keep the
wage level above the cost of living.
Bank clerks, another class of en-
ployes overlooked in the rush, now
seem to be in line for more pay. The
movement has started in New York,
where some of the larger banks, with
as many as 1000 employees, have de-
cided to eliminate bonuses in dealing
with their employees and to apply the
bonus money to salary increases based
on efficiency and faithful service.
These banks have said that the flat
bonus system, amounting TO profit
sharing, and in which special reward
for special service plays no part, is
an exnedient of doubtful value. 1t
has been related that employees depend
on the bonus and il it is not forth
coming they are discouraged and their
value is impaired when they pay debit
contracted in anticipation Of the
bonus.
Much is said about the disparity
between wages in the skilled. organiz-
ed trades and wages in the so-called
white collar callings. In investigating
the attitude of employees toward
the wage scale, several New York
banks found that their employed re-
garded bank work as especially desir-
able. and that. in view of opportuni-
ties for promotion to highly paid exc
cutiye positions. they were not bitter
because bricklayers made twice as
much as they did. This probably ex-
plains why no bank clerks union has
been a success. and also why men and
women in the banks and similar insti-
tutions work for small wages in spite
of the better paid positions always
open to them.-Indianapolis News.

laid upon physical education. Five
periods weekly will be given over to
physical training in each of the
grades. Physical training is cOmpul-
sorry. Another innovation is that of a
pre-vocational course in the seventh

OREGONIAN SPORTS WRITER
DESCRIBES VANDALS AS ZERO
CIOUS AFTER TOUR OF CAMPS

l.. H. Gregory, sports editor of the
Portland Oregonian, has established
himself in the minds of students and
followers of the University of Idaho
Vandals as a real judge of football
clubs.
During the week before the Wash
ington State-Idaho game, which open
ed the 1928 Coast conference season,
Gregory made a tour of the football
camps of the northwest conference
members. He visited the silver and
marks make Idaho students and
alumni sort of feel that the least will
come first, or thereabouts.
Best In Northwest
you Portland football fans are
not on the Idaho playing schedule
this year, and it's pity" Is the way
he starts out his writeup on the Ida
no football situation. ct means you
will miss seeing in action the snappi-
est, scrappiest, happiest, cockiest,
spunkiest, hardest charging football
crew this writer has looked at to date
on his tour of the northwest colleges.
How these boys charged That's
the outstanding feature of their play
that and the stream of scrappy, en-
couraging chatter, one to another
that floats up from the field after
every down. We saw 'em in scrim-
mage and we've been digging men
tally ever since for the proper adj
jctive. 1t was more than just fierce
or savage-it was ferocious.
IdahO's Tough Schedule
Idaho has a murderous schedule,
but if it can stand the hammering
you'll hear from it.
Idaho looms as most formidable
dark horse but she can hardly hope
to get over her schedule without hit
ing something tough. Our belief is
that she will acquit herself well, but
that next year not this, should be
Matty's big year"
The above quotations are merely
from column and half /
which this noted western sports
writer devoted to the University of
IDAHO squad.

race would be exception
lily tight, but like other critics, was
lisinclined to give any team other

AN INTERESTING AND
MOST NOVEL SCREEN PLOT

Conway Earle in a new Selznick
Picture, after Midnight" is the fea-
ture production which on next We'd
nesday will begin a two-day engage
ment at the Kenworthy theatre. "Af-
ter Midnight" is Ralph Ince pro-
duction, written by John Lynch and
scenarized by Edward j. Montague,
which has for its principal back
ground that mystifying section of
New Yory City-Chinatown.
In this new production the star
enacts dual role-that of twin
brothers who, years before, had
quarreled and parted. They meet
again, one a down-and-out wanderer
and the other affluent, but degener-
ated into a drink and drug addict.
Seeing the helplessness of the one,
the other takes his place in society
and at home where he finds a suffer-

establishment, has remained loyal

Fix Ridge Farmers Prosper

Julius Giese, one of the prosperous
farmers of Fix Ridge, was a Gene
see visitor Monday. Mr.. Giese stated
that he had fine bean crop this year
and that he received good price for
same, in addition to the several hun
bred acres of grain raised by him. Mr..
Giese believes in diversified farming
and says that he believes every farm
er should have few COWS, pigs and
chickens. He has about hundred
head of hogs at this time, some 27 or
% COWS and many dozens of chick
ens-all of which help to keep money
in the till" He farms several hun
dred acres and has work the year
around.-Genesee News.
