ArbucklC's Rice Owls seem 10 have MT

On the 18th. the Rice five wrecked

Swartz at forward has been especially
gratifying to Arbuckle. This shifty
athlete has displayed great accuracy
at middle-distancc losses and is dead

averaging ten points per game despite
his being a marked player. Fitch. a
sophomore, is playing a wonderful floor
game and Coleman is making his last
season his best. The work of Willis

Secretary Falls Retirement.
(New York Evening Post)

By retiring from the Cabinet on March Secre 'ary Fall Will give President Harding opportunity 10 improve the harmony of his official family IT h2s been reported that the former Senator from Ne" Mexico was dissatisfied with the conciliatorv policy of the Administration towards Mexico In
 ew of ms attitude as Senator this would be natural tn the other hand, well-informed advces have con tradicted this report What is certain is that Mir fall has desired to have certain governmental actvi ties transferred to his department and that this de sire has been strongly opposed. In particular he mas wanted 10 see Alaskan affairs, such as fisheries forests, and railroads, concentrated in the Denart meht or the Interior He has also urged that the forestry Service be similarly transferred All of these matters are now under the supervision of inc Department of Agriculture
 Conseryatoniss dissatisfied with the admin stfalloh ol such Alaskan affairs in the control ei the Interior They hope for concentration of these ahalrs Tn the Department Of Agriculture rather than any enlargement of the authority which the Depart- ment or the Interior now exercises. The same holds true Tor the Forestry Service. Secretary Fall looks upon the work of this bureau in commercial way that arouses apprehension among conservatoniete te Hence their insistence that this work remain undey the direction or the Department of Agriculture
 If President Harding should appoint Hoover os Falls successor the objection to the transfers named would lose much of it's force. Thus he would in, prove the chances of reform which he has close at hoart-departmental reorganization If he apnoipts a man who has the confidence the country he will advance the standing of the entire Cabinet in ponular estimation. In view of the great expectations tbat were created by the forecast of President Hardin oaDinet, his choice of to Secretary E.r will be awaited with unusual interest

The newspapers to the westward and North discussing il seriously. if them show considerable comedy in their scramble for the additional capitol that would have to be built.
 Anchorage, however, is content with the fight for division of the Territory, but wants go one better and for fear that Alaska will be divided and in her desire for capitol building at any cost, IS working for delay in the construction of a new building at Juneau.

The average person of today does not think: he accepts the thoughts of others That is the conclusion of President Marion L. Burton, of the University of Michigan. The average person away from an idea he does not agree with, says Dr. Burton he is afraid of unpopuarty, failing to understand that popularity is merely the casual ideas of a great many people and does not make truth The active mind the doetor adds, looks popularity in the eye and says go to --'; he thinks the truth regardless of pop- uarity. A strong indictment, but when you reflect how many people vote to be tN the winning side and Of like example of the fear of unpopuary, il must be confessed Dr. Burton has it sized up about right EaYe you ever, he asks. made budget of your mind to see how much time you devote to thinking? Not thinking what other people think but reasoning boh sides all sides of a question and making up your mind yourself If tried there would be fewer rubber stamps insthe world
