of the two men removed from the

After the find by the Washington
officials, extra guards were placed in

under strict survelience day and
night to prevent any untoward move
by either of the two men, who show
every indication of being hardened
criminals.

men, James Mcdonald and Dan Sulli-
van, is being held today. They are
being charged with second degree
burglary, it being alleged that they
broke into the store of J. B. Pollard

quantity of goods. They may also
be tried on several other charges,

WESTON BEATEN $3.50
BY KANSAS CITY FIVE

Chicago-The 40 teams which last
Tuesday played the first round in the
national invitation interscholastic bas-
ketball tournament under the aus
pices of the University of Chicago,
had narrowed down to eight by Tues
day night, which today will go into
the final round preceding the semi
finals.
Weston, southern Idaho high school
which represented the Gem state In
the national tournament, fought nobly
for the honor of the west yesterday
afternoon in a hard contest that was
anybody's victory until the last, when
the Kansas City champions triumphed
by the close score of 33 to 80. Only
the final whistle decided the tussle,
the game having been a tie twice in
the second half. Schmidt, Kansas
City forward, made three baskets in a
row in the last three minutes of play,
which gave the eastern team its vic
tory.
Walla Walla, other western team to
play yesterday, was also eliminated
by the Charleston, S. c. quintet in the
first game of the day by a score of
36 to 26. Walla Walla, through its
forward, CLANCY, made a good show
ing in the second half, coming up
with a big disadvantage against them
and nearly tieing the score several
times.

BUSINESS NOW
NEARLY NORMAL
OFFICIAL REPORTS SHOW EAST
PROSPEROUS AND WEST
IMPROVING.

Washington Declarations were
made in two official quarters that
general business conditions through
out the east were nearly normal. The
central and western parts of the
United States were said, at the same
time, to be making rapid strides to-
wards recovery and the prediction was
offered that those sections soon would
be in better condition than at any
time since the prosperity incident to
the war.
Secretary Mellon asserted on re-
turn from his first vacation since he
became head Of the treasury that the
Industrial and financial situation in
the east appeared Every satisfactory"
The federal reserve board declared
in it's official monthly bulletin issued
later in the day, that continued ac-
tive business conditions in every sec
ton were shown by the maintenance
of high rate of industrial produc-
ton.
The bulletin also called attention
to the unusually low number of COM
mercial failures reported in February,
which, according to it's figures, was
the smallest since September, 1920.
Some concern has been expressed
by government officials recently re-
garding marked tendencies toward in
fiation but these were discounted by
the treasury secretary. He said that
while there undoubtedly was some
speculation, as is true always during
periods of prosperity and expansion,
it need not be considered dangerous.
Mr.. Melons views on this phase
of the situation were substantiated by
10 hI11 LOTT xUh in
crease in the borrowing frop the fed
eral reserve banks. COmmecial
banks which are members of the re-
serve system, however, have greatly
increased their loans and investments
The total of the two items of assets
a few weeks ago was something like
$25,700, 100000, whereas the top point
reached by loans and investments at
the peak of the 1920 expansion was
only four hundred million dollars
greater

LOCAL INSTRUCTOR
AIRS MODERN VIEW
MRS. NJ. L. SARGENT IN SPOKANE
TALK URGES WOMEN TO TAKE
RESPONSIBILITIES

In speech given yesterday morn
ing by Mrs. Margarete l.. Sargent,
professor of romance languages at the
University of Idaho, at the breakfast
of the Executive Womans League of
the Inland Empire Teachers associa-
ton in the Davenport Hotel, Spo-
kane, men were declared to be incOm-
petent to handle the worlds affairs,
and the placing of more women in
national executive positions was ad-
vocated by the speaker
About seventy members of the
league were present at the breakfast,
chatting about convention affairs and
getting acquainted. In enlargening on
her theme, Mrs. Sargent said:
Men particularly showed their in
efficiency in handling affairs of the,
world during the late war. 1t is
time for women to come farther to
the front Sometimes we are a little
jealous. We are not always big
enough to take over the affairs that
need us, but we must keep on striy-
ing. Women alone have the power to
stop wars The women of Europe
today ar eunited in an effort to stop
war, even refusing to bear children
to be fodder for the cannons.'
Must Avoid Publicity
She told of her trip through Eur
ope, saying that in Germany and
other nations women have scattered
placards declaring that there must
never be another war.
we must be able to carry high
esponsibilities without being singled
out" she concluded. 1t must be
common for a woman to have respon-
sibility. Today she gets too much
publicity if she has a high position,
aside from in schools"
Mrs. Sargent pointed out several
women who she said have shown
great executive ability in the history
OF the world, among them Ella Flagg
Young, formerly superintendent of
schools of Chicago, and Mary Carey
Thomas, formerly president of Bryn
Mawr.
Gives Example.
Mrs. Sargent said that when Miss
Thomas was a pioneer candidate for
doctor of philosophy degree, taking
work at John Hopkins university she
was obliged to attend lectures behind
curtains, as no women were allowed
Other women she mentioned were
Jane Adams, settlement worker and
chairman of the international con-
gress for permanent peace; Virginia
G1ldersleeve, dean of Barnard college,
and Aurelia Henry Reinhardt, presi-
dent of Mills college.
Other speakers on the program
were Mrs. Lucy Wood Collier Cali
fornia, representative of the American
child Health association; Miss Julia
Spooner, president of the Grade
Teachers association of Portland, and
MISS Josephine Fitzgerald, head Of
the executive department of the

KRAFT PREDICTS IDAHO
Big Cheese PRODUCER

Idaho is destined to become a great
cheese producing state and within a
few years, the state will be sending
out an output measured by the mil
lions of pounds instead of by the thou
sands, as at present, in an opinion
voiced by J. L. Kraft, in an address
before a sales convention at Chicago
recently. Announcement of his speech
was made at the chamber of COM
merce. Mr.. Kraft, with 25 dairymen
and livestock breeders, last summer
toured the state with a view to MAX
ing a survey of the Gem state dairy
possibilities and the address was
based on the reports made as a re-
suit of the tour, says The Statesman.
Pioneering work has been done in
the state, said Mr. Kraft, principally
in looking toward the establishment
of cheese factories.

WOMEN STUDENTS SAID TO
EXCEL MEN IN PAYING BILLS

London-(A. P.)-The answer to
the question of whether women have
higher moral sense than men will
be found in the affirmative if the
experience of the Carnegie Trust for
the Universities of Scotland is taken
as a deciding factor The trust un-
dertakes to provide funds for stu
dents wishing to enter colleges, and
though they are under no obligation,
they are expected to repay what
money they can
Sir David Prain, at a recent meet
ing of the trustees, said that the num-
Der of women students who repaid
their fees during 1922 was consider
ably larger than the number of men.
Last year 80 former students re-
paid 6 1887 to the fund, making the
total amount repaid 912,500, or one
and third per cent of the money adj
vanced
1t was brought out at the committee
meeting that pre-war conditions had
so far returned as to justify the COM
mittee in reducing the value of the
annual scholarships from 9200 to
ESQ.

11G-0s0 FORDS FOR FEBRUARY
NEW SALES RECORD

Detroit, Mich.-With 116,OSO Ford
cars sold at retail in February a new
record for the shortest month in the
year has been established. February
sales exceeded those of January by
more than $4,000 and marked the
eleventh month in which Ford sales
have topped the 100000 line
This sales record bears out predic-
tions made at the opening of the
year that an acute shotage in Ford
cars is certain and this shortage is
expected to be felt within the next
two months with the increased vol
ume of car buying which is always
attendant upon the spring months.
Even the high production schedule
set at the Ford Motor company's fac
tory here, which will reach 5000 cars
and trucks day about April 1, will
be unable to meet the apparent de-
mand for Ford products.
February sales of 116,O OSO cars were
made in the face of unfavorabIe wea-
ther conditions in many sections of
the country which tied up freight
traffic and prevented many deliveries.
With February the eleventh month
in which Ford car sales have gone
over the 100000 the total for this
period is close to 1,250,000 cars
Peak car sales usually are reached
during the summer months with
drops in the fall and winter This
feature of automobile absorption by
the buying public has been completely
changed during the last few months
through the activities of the Ford
dealer organization which has raised
the peak line to include every
month in the year.

IDAHO-LEWISTON
TANGLE SATURDAY
FIRST GAME OF SEASON WHEN
COLLEGE NINE PLAYS PRACTICE
GAME AT SPRING CAMP.

The University of Idaho baseball
team will get it's first taste of action
Saturday afternoon, when it clashes
with the Lewiston nine, recruited by
J. P. Welker especially to take ad-
vantage of the visit of the college
team to the Snake river CITY, where
they have established spring training
quarters during the past week.
Manager Welker of the Lewiston
club, announced Thursday that he
would probably send Pink Bush
man Of Uniontown, into the box Sat
urday afternoon against the collegi-
ans, while Coach David Macmillan for
the Vandals stated that he would not
know what this batteries would con-
sist until just before the game.
There is good possibility, however,
of Bob Fitzke, most promising re-
cruit from last years freshman squad,
being on the mound at the umpire's
call.
Veterans In Action
Idaho veterans who will see action
in Saturdays game are Kinnison, cat
cher; Wicks, second; Stivers, short
stop; Edwards, third; Al Fox, A. Cob
ley, Ostrander, outfield. Kline, a
new man, will undoubtedly hold down
first, the only vacancy in the Idaho
infield.
!. The Idaho prospects for the coming
season are looking exceptionally
bright, the team being made up al
most entirely of veteran players, aug
mented by recruits from last years
freshman squad who are far above
the average for new material. The
only vacancy in the Idaho lineup at
the opening of practice was that of
first base, caused by the graduation
of Percy O'Brien, 1922 captain. Little
difficulty, however, is being expert
enced in filling the gap, and competi-
tion for all berths is proving unusu-
ally keen.
Idaho faces a hard schedule again
this year, which starts with trip to
the coast, playing the Oregon Aggies
at Corvallis for their first game, con-
tinuing on up the line to Seattle and
back home.
