DIR. LITTLE HAD CONFIDENCE,
REGARD OF FELLOW MEN

The following appreciation of the
life and work of DR.. Charles N.
Little, whose funeral occurred yes
terday, was written by a longtime
friend of the departed educator:
AS a teacher, he always stood for
high ideals and sound fellowship in
all studies. His long work in this
regard will be vouched for by stu
dents who occupy high positions in
Nebraska, California, and Idaho.
His life and his works, unaided
save by himself, won the confidence
and regard of his fellow men. This
is not a scanty eulogy for any man.
His character was kindly and actual
his manhood was genuine and four
square, without pretention and self
righteousness"

MONDELL, HEAD WAR FINANCE
CORPORATION, PLEDGES AID TO
WESTERN FARMERS

The federal government, through
the War Finance corporation or other
agencies, stands ready to lend what
ever aid it has at its command to
wheat growers of the northwest and
the farming and stock raising inter
ests generally, but there is little
likelihood that such aid will take the
form of government price fixing of
wheat, or any other commodity, said
Frank w. Mondell, director of the
War Finance corporation, in Spokane,
Wednesday.
After expressing himself at length
on the matter of government price
fixing, which he opposes, Mr.. Mon
dell said:
"There is no doubt that the wheat
grower this year is confronted by
an unfortunate situation, with an ap-
parent world over-supply of wheat
and general depression of prices in
many other lines. The only remedy
can see lies in the cooperative as
sociations, such as the American
Wheat Growers Associated, Inc, fol-
lowing out their program of orderly
marketing to prevent flooding the
iiioi hCC, anu oOluS WndISfSl may OC
done in stimulating the demand, both
foreign and domestic.
"To accomplish this, the War Fin
ance corporation stands ready to pro-
vide whatever assistance is possible
and consistent with good business in
advancing credit. The problem of the
northwest wheat farmers probably
will be taken up at our district meet
ing here, and it is possible some con-
structive suggestions looking toward
relief for the wheat grower may be
advanced"
The purpose of the meeting in Spo-
kane Mr.. Mondell said, was to dis
cuss credits and loans as affecting
this district. Mr.. Mondell is on a
tour of the district assigned to him,
which includes all states west of the
Dakotas and north Of Texas and New
Mexico.

STRUCTURE
NEAR COLLAPSE
ITALY'S REFUSAL 10 RECOGNIZE
AUTHORITY SHAKES EUROPE
WAR IS FEARED

Geneva-(A. P)-The superstruc-
ture of the league of nations of which
an American president was the chief
architect, is imperiled and, in the
British view, the very foundations OF
present-day Europe are shaken.
Such, briefly, is a summary OF the
situation at Geneva because of Italy's
refusal to recognize the right OF the
league of nations to intervene in her
dispute with Greece.
CONSERVATION and great deal OF
sadness prevail everywhere, for it Is
generally though reluctantly admit
ted that the league has been unable
to withstand the first great test of
its practical use as machinery for
regulating difficulties between ma
tions, since one of it's leading mem
bers has declined to concede to its
competence. Hence, there is grow
ing sentiment among the smaller
countries that, if the league covenant
applies to them, it apparently does
not bind the great powers of Europe.
All the more do they feel convinced
of this because the proportions which
the Italian and Greek conflict have
taken are deemed by them to be un-
justified by the original cause of the
controversy, serious and regrettable
as was the murder of the Italian Of
ficers.
But hope is not abandoned; there
are stout hearts among the statesmen
of the half hundred countries repre-
sented at Geneva who, believing in
the league and in the ideal of concil1-
alton and arbitration which the
league voices, refuse to admit that
the action of any member, powerful
or weak, can succeed in running the
1eage as a power for good.
Signor Salandra's entire argument
was that the questions arising from
the assassinations of the Italian mis-
sion should be settled by the council
of ambassadors, and not by the league
because it was the ambassadorial
body which had appointed the mis-
sion to fix the frontier between Al
bania and Greece. That body was
the living organism of the great con-
ference and was empowered with the
execution of the terms of the treaties.
The developments are regarded
generally as bringing the league right
into the open. with England on one
side. insisting on respect for the
league. and Italy refusing to abide
bv covenants to which she had sub
scribed. Lord Robert Cecil declared
that the issue would be aired in the
assembly.

Nelson's Home From South

PrOfessOr B. Nelson, director Of the

and Mrs. Nelson, have arrived at
home after two months trip through
California, by automobile. During
their stay in southern California they
made San Diego their headquarters,
driving from here to that city in
eight days. The trip south was made
over the Pacific highway, and the
return trip over the coast highway
to Portland, and then north over the
Columbia highway. While in south
ern California short trip was made

tions across the line, however, did
not appeal to Mr.. Nelson, who said
the principal thing in evidence was
saloons and gambling houses.

to Hide True Facts.

Men are popularity supposed to be

apparel Mothers. wives and sisters,
indeed, are held to have such poor
taste In the matter that the Christmas
necktie joke has come to be one Of
civilizations most honored and ancient
bits Of humor. But there is another
side to the story.
The inevitable statistician tells us
that 80 per cent Of the trading done in
the countrys haberdasheries is done
by women. So now the secret is out.
1t may be that the necktie joke has
been perpetuated as sort of smoke
screen to hide the true facts. If so
per cent of the haberdasher's trade
comes from women, 1t is easy to be-

RIGHT ESTIMATE
OF STEEP GRADE
Not One Driver in Hundred Has
Proper Calculation of In
cline of Road.

tBy ERWIN GREER, President OF Greer
College Of Automotive Engineering. Chi
cago.)
''How steep is the grade on that
road? WelI,s / should say that it is
all of 30 or IS per cent. But didn't
have any trouble in making it with
my car. No sir. She pulled it like
house afire. Made it on high all
the way. Passed two cars laboring
along in second"
Has Not Projer Estimate.
How often, with variations, do we
hear these words from drivers proud
Of the achievements of their cars fire.
quently to the disparagement of high
er-priced cars from which, presumably,
a better performance should be ex-
pected. After listening to statements
of this kind from hundreds Of tour
lists anxious to tell of their trips and
the remarkable exploits of their cars,
one Is at least convinced that not one
man in a hundred has the proper esti-
mate of the percentage Of grade en-
countered. No reliance is to be placed
on such estimates expressed by any
other than one who knows from ac-
tual measurements with gradometer.
Approaching an ascent the grade
naturally appears sleeper than it ac-
tually is. This, coupled with the per-
Torrance of the individual car which
may or may not make the grade in
high gear gives rise to an incorrect
estimate of the percentage of the
grade.
Many motorists do not understand
the process by which the designation
Of grade percentage is arrived at,
believing that 20 per cent grade, for
instance, is one which rises at an
angle of 20 degrees from the hori-
zontal. This is erroneous.
How to Find Percentage.
The designation of 20 per cent to
grade means that in the grade there
is a perpendicular rise of 20 feet in
100 horizontal feet In other words,
to generalize the numerical percentage
of a grade indicates that number of
feet perpendicular rise in 100 hori-
will be found that grade percentage
properly arrived at in this way forms
an angle equal to about one-half of
the angle formed when the numerical
expression is taken to mean degrees.
Definitely. a 80 per cent grade is
about one-half as steep as the grade
formed by 30-degree angle from the
horizontal.
The steepest grade on which car
can obtain traction is As per cent, and
this is a very stiff grade, indeed. You
can be reasonably certain that if you
have estimated grade as 80 or 50
per cent and your car pulls 1t in high
gear that your estimate of the roads
steepness is probably double or even
more than it actually is.

highest percentage of members as COM
pared with the membership total for
the year 1922 will win the MacNider
cup, which is presented by the Iowa
department The Georgia department
won this cup at the New Orleans con-
vention and is leading in the race this
year.
