ificial skating pond on what was
formerly the Latah county fair
grounds, adjacent to the university
campus, now being used by the city
of Moscow as an athletic field and
auto camping grounds.
ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE
The club, made up of athletes who
have won official letters in major
sports at the institution, has receiv-
ed permission from city officials for
the use of portion of the field and
their assurance of cooperation in
constructing and maintaining a pond,
which will be for the use of both
university students and Moscow citi-
zens, without charge. A suitable por-
tion of ground for the rink will be
surveyed during the next few days
and work is to be done under the
supervision of the 81" club. When
completed, the Moscow volunteer
firemen will see that the pond is
kept filled with water throughout the
winter season.
Walter Casebolt, of Genesee, Law
renee Quinn of Boise, and Lyle Tap
per of Richfield, comprise the COM
mitteee under whose supervision the
skating rink is to be constructed. I
'FULFILLS NEED -
Formerly there has been no facili-
ties for skating within a radius of
many miles of Moscow, and the con-.
struction of the rink will fulfill d
long felt need Later in the year it
is the intention of the "I" club to
stage winter carnival, with skiing,
skating, and tobogan exhibitions and
fraternities will doubtless organize
hockey teams, and it is not impos-
sible that class or even varsity hook
ey teams may spring into being.

 Then Raggedy Ann took her to all the other things and she enjoyed them as much as she had the merry so-round. Do you know what?" she said to Raggedy Ann. After this, shall never use any kind of magic except to bring pleasure to someone else, cause just look a the nice Ma gician, and you can see that he is getting as much fun out of these nice things as anyone else!"
 Indeed, Missus Witch, that is quite true" Raggedy Ann replied. If you just try it, you will sooa find out that whenever you do some thing kindly for another you plant seed inside your heart which grows into a happiness blossom, and for every speck of fun you give another you receive an echo of that fun yourself"

When one is transferring ones self and ones effects from one residence to another there is scant time for sentimentality or idealism.
 Donald Muir urged his ward to move into the Riverside Drive apart nsnt as soon as practicable. If one n d a disagreeable task to do it was well to get it done quickly. More over, since an excellent offer was made for the house, 1t would be wise to sell it at once.
 So it came about that for some days after Sunday evening on which Muir and Rankin had been at her home, Winifred Scott had little leis- ure in which to entertain either of the two men. Both declared them selves at her disposal if they could be of use.
 Perhaps I shall want you to help me- choose my new furniture" she told Donald when he asked if he could serve her in any way. '"I know the style of thing I want-but, as you hold the purse-strings, suppose I ought to consult you as to what l must pay for certain articles"
 Dear child" Donald protested, you have lots of furniture! My

Don't you?' she asked as she put her rag arm around the old Witchs s shoulder.
 T heard all the laughing and fun going on. so I came to see what 1t was!" the old Witch said, and it made me feel very. very sad when saw what nice things the Magician had made for all the woodland crea- lures, and to think how hard l had tried to keep the Magician from working his magic. So I just stood here and cried and cried!"
 well! Don't you cry any more" Raggedy Ann laughed. Just you come along and hop on the merry go-round and see how much fun it Is!'
 At first the old Witch didn't want 10 do this, but Raggedy Ann took her arm and pulled her right over to the merry -go-round and found her a seat upon shiny white wooden horse.
 "Whee" the old Witch cried when the music started and the merry

 To her dismay her guardian shook his head. T must ask you not to plan to do that" he said respectfully. You would get very little for what you sell, and moreover. the pieces you already have are so handsome that 1t would really be an extrava- gance to get others"
 She frowned Then you mean that you forbid it?"
 No, I have no right to forbid 1t. But do advise against 1t. You can not afford to discard handsome ma hogany just because you think 1t old fashioned. am sure that 1t will look we'll in the new rooms. Of course there are some articles that you will have to sell or store for lack of space. But you do not need to buy anything new"
 Not even curtains?" she pleaded.
 He smiled. If you want new cur tains for some of the rooms-your own bedroom, for instance,-of course, you may get them. But. dear. do not look so sad! only protest because 1t would be imprudent to spend money on what is not needed. Your present furnishings are all right.

Raggedy Ann said to her self, wonder if the old Witch Is irving to make the Magicians magic quit working? For if she makes it quit working, all these nice things Will disappear and the little man and the little woodland creatures will not have thing to play upon!"
 So Raggedy Ann hoped from the merry go-round and ran over to where the old Witch stood. "Pleasc, Missus Witch." Raggedy Ann said, do not unmagic the Magician's mag ic. for if you do, you will spoil ev- erybody's fun."

Don't Argue, Don't Medde And Put The Soft Pedal On Your Speech'-Sure Recipe For A
 Peaceful Home
Peaceful Home

A woman writes me that her home is place of misunderstanding and discord and strife. She wants to know how to pour oil on the troubled waters and still the turmoil and establish an atmosphere of serenity and peace.
 Well, there are three rules for making peaceful home. To follow them requires nerve. grit, an ironclad self-control, and omre readiness to sacrifice oneself than most of us pos sesS.
 But the results are guaranteed to any woman who is willing to pay the price. The dove of peace will roost above her door. all who go from her home will remeber it as a haven of rest in a storm tossed world.
 The first rule for making a peace full home Is not to argue. The only thing on earth that an argument is good for Is to rile the temper and start a quarrel. Nobody was ever convinced by an argument, but every body who engages in one gets hot in the collar and says things he or she didn't mean, and is more stubbornly set in his or her own opinion than he or she was. before.
 An argument in any family circle is as good for a spat and crimination and recrimination. and fearful

Advocates silent Night.

A communication advocating the
establishment OF Il silent night in
Washington was received by the
radio editor last week from William
J. Woods. 1t reads:
"I agree with Mr.. Watson and Mr..
Braden that we who have tube sets
should have a silent night, free from
local broadca sting. such as is had
in many of our northern cities.
ANY progressive merchant en-
deavors to carry Z stock for two

success in life.
1T is my opinion that broadcast
ing stations. especially those whose
owners manufacture radio sets for
the public. should look at broadcast
ing in a business way. inasmuch as
when owners of tube sets are killed
off nightly or forced to sit up until
after l o'clock in order to hear out
of-town stations, it has Z pronounced
tendency to kill both receiving set
sales as well as vacuum tube set
sales.
"One is foolish to buy a tube set to
listen in locally when parts pur-
stores will give first-clasS results.
Where, then. does the local radio
dealer come in and where does the
manufacturer of vacuum tubes in
crease his sales when tubes are not
needed, and If used will be so ehoked
with local music that 1t quickly dis
gusts one from enlarging their tube

The next radio-controlled ship of
the Navy will be the old battleship
North Dakota, authorized in 1907
and commissioned in 1910, but desfg-
mated to be scrapped by the arms
conference. A lack of available
funds for the radio-<0ntrol equip
ment VIII prevent the execution this
year of the Nays plan to carry out
extensive gun-fire and aerial bonn
bardment with this ex-first-line ship
as moving target. She will be
decommissioned and much of her
armament and equipment salvaged in
anticipation of equipping her with
radio control apparatus next year
In the meantime she will be kept
in good condition at her present
berth at the Norfolk navy yard.
How can the Navy afford to sink
vessel whose hull, armor and
machinery alone cost $7.246,6S7 and
whose radio equipment will cost
100000 more, at least? some critics
will ask. In the first place, she is
useless as fighting craft, but the
answer lies in the results of the
aerial bombing and the gun-fire ex-
periments with the old Iowa, now
at rest In Panama Bay. She was the
Navy's first dio-controlled target
ship and the only fuIl-siZed ocean
going craft ever operated by radio

May Consolidate Federal Committees.

There are today in the Capital two
governmental interdepartmental COM
mittees on radio and allied electrical
communication, but they may be COM
bined. Besides the so-called State
Department committee, there is the
one organized by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover in April. 1922, to ad-
wise him pertaining to the admins
tration. of radio matters.
The commerce committee at first
handled only radio broadcasting for
the eight departments concerned and
advised concerning governmental. ra-
dio stations handling official and
emergency public traffic. Later it
broadened its scope to cover all radio
activities of the government, so that
it could serve Secretary Hoover as a
practical advisory committee. similar
TO the committee authorized in the
White radio bill.
The departments represented on the
two committees are practically the
same, except that the Departments of
Interior, Justice and Labor and the
bureau of the budget and Interstate
Commerce Commission are not repre-
sented on the State Department COM
| mittee. The State, Treasury. War.
Post Office, Navy. Asricuiture and
Commerce Departments and the
shipping board have representatives
on both committees, six officials serv-
ing ON both committees.
Although some distinction in the
work to be handled by the two COM
mittees is readily apparent. much of
the departmental co-ordinating work
to be undertaken by the State De-
partment is understood to have been
done or started by the Commerce
committee.
