This has grown out of discussions
at the meeting of the National A.
ISOLATION of Retail Clotbiers in Chi

Composite measurements OF ih'
American man do not apply 10 in

Army training and prohibition have
altered the outline of many.
That means more work for the fit
Ter.
Prices for mems suits have incrpas
ed and the buying public has exhibited
distinct antipathy toward paying
and higher figures.
The question. therefore. of how tc
have suits that fit without additional
expense either 10 the buyer or re-
taller. is agitating the minds Of cloth
ing men all the way from Maine t.
California.
A division of the country into zones
for the purpose OF obtaining more ac
curate measurements, suggested b,
Fredericwk Guth of Seattle, has met
with considerable favor.
Climate Affects Physique.
Climatic conditions and modes 81
living have an effect on physique,
Mr.. Guth said today.
For example. men in the North.
west have smaller waists and broad.
or shoulders than men in the South
The weather is cooler out West.
"One must keep moving TO keep
comfortable.
Then too. it is harder TO get beer
and hard linuor.
There has been q more noticeable
shrinkage of the beer tummy in the
West than elsewhere.
And our clothes must be cut &C.
cordinglv."

ferent specifications for different Sec

SELLING PROVES
SUCCESSFUL WITH PORTUGUESE

Washington-(A. PA band of
100 Portuguese farmers, who can
neither read nor write English and
who are working out their economic
freedom through cooperative market
ing, is engaging the attention Of the
Department of Agriculture.
Officials here say these Portuguese
who live about Cape Cod in Massachu-
setts and call themselves the Cape
Cod Strawberry Growers Association,
understand the true principles of CO.
operation. The secret of their success
is a high quality product, carefully
graded and packed which has created
a demand that takes practically all
the berries the association can mar
ket.
This year more than million
quarts of berries were marketed with
a gross return of $133,0O0. The asso-
citation has been in existence eight
years.

DEVELOP Land
in AUSTRALIA
GREAT FUTURE PREDICTED IN
PRODUCTION OF SHEEP AND
OF WHEAT

| Sydney, N. S. wa. P)-West-
ern Australia is looming more ant
more in the affairs of the common
wealth in point of settlement and
land development. This state leads the
others of Australia in the matter OF
group settlements, which have justi-
fled themselves so far in placing and
entirely financing suitable men with
families on the land that the question
of establishing cooperative factories
for handling their dairy and other
products, is now occupying the atten-
ton Of the government.
The western state is demonstrating
it's enterprise and resources beyond
the dreams of the peoples of the old
er states.
A striking demonstration Of this
was furnished by the purchase of
'843 900 acres in the Murchiston dis
trict, Dandarraga station, by E. A.
Brooks, a we'll known South Austral-
ian rancher.
II went to Western Australia ex-
pecting to find a land of sand and
sorrow, but was much mistaken, y
Brooks said on his return here "I
y,
aloud for men and money to develop
it. rode for $500 miles throught pas
toral country only, and then saw not
more than half of their pastoral areas
In the far northwest is grown some of
the finest merino wool or burr, very
high yielding and greatly sought af-
ter by buyers.
Undoubtedly Western Australia
has great future. Big strides must
be made there soon in pastoral mat
ters, and I am of the opinion that
within another Is or 20 years the
country will be carrying more than
2O,OO0000 sheep and will be growing
some of the best wool in Australia I
am convinced that before many years
the country will also be producing
40, 100000 bushels of grain annually"

LIBERAL TRAINING
URGED BY SPEAKER
DIR. H. Il. PLUMB, ELECTRICAL
ENGINEER, SPEAKS ON EDUCA-
ZION AT UNIVERSITY ASSEMBLY

| Early specialization in education
was criticised this morning by DR..
H. t. Pulmb, electrical engineer for
the General Electric company with
headquarters at Salt Lake and vice
president Of the American Institute
of American Engineers, in his address
on Education" at the University of
Idaho assembly. DR.. Plumb illustra-
ted his address with scientific dia-
grams showing the value of educa-
ton.
Education is the highest thing in
life he declared, and illustrated his
point by showing The river of life
leading into the gulf of old age and
the ocean of eternity" Life it but
education, DR.. Pulmb said.
"Why Go to COllege?-
'Why go to college?" was answered
by the speaker when he pointed out
the advantages of education and par
ticularly higher education in the
great money return and the greater
amount of happiness made available
to the college man or woman DR..
Plumb showed that education was in
surance against old age from a mon
etary standpoint and from the stand
point of happiness in appreciation Of
| the things of life.
The speaker encouraged the college
standpoint by saying that the "last
rungs of the ladder of life'' were easi-
er to climb than the first rungs, rep
resented by grammar school and high
school education. One of his dia-
grams showing what was called a
"magnetism> curve demonstrated the
greater earning power of the edu-
Gated man or woman.

IDAHO PARTY LEADERS
SEE COOLIDGE, M ADO0

Calvin Coolidge and w. G. McAdoC
will lead the major political parties
in the 1924 campaign If the opinion
of Idaho politicians, regardless of
party affiliations, can be taken as a
criterion, says the Idaho statesman
Republican, Democrat, Progressive
and Socialist party spokesmen be-
heve that Coolidge will head the Re-
publican forces and that McAdOo will
be the Bourbon leader.
The leaders think Henry Ford may
be a candidate for the presidency but
if he is, it will be on third party
ticket. The Socialist party spokes-
man, however, places Ford as pos
sibility for the Democrats because,
he explains, that his party has always
been the third national party and it
will be solid for Eugene V. Debs.
Hiram Johnson has no more chance
of being the G. o. P. nominee than,
to use the words of Governor Moore,
"a SNOWFALL in Halifax" Members of
all parties are unanimous in the opin-
ion that Coolidge will be nominated
Oscar Underwood and Governor Sam
uel Ralston of Indiana were two
Democrats mentioned as presidential
possibilities.
President Coolidge has the support
of practically all the Republican lead
ers Governor Moore has announced
that he is for the New England presi-
dent. Senator Borah has been report
ed standing on a statement made
shortly after Harding's death, that
Coolidge should have an opportunity
to make good. Congressman Smith
has declared he will support Cool
idge. Senator Gooding and Congress
man French have not made public
statesments of their position but lead
ers believe that both will come out
in the open for Coolidge.

NUMERALED sweaters
To IS FRoSH GRID MEN

Eighteen members of this years s
Idaho freshman football team have
been recommended by Coach David
Macmillan to receive the numeraled
sweater, the official award to partici-
pants in first-year athletics who full
fill the necessary requirements.
Tdaho's freshmen this year did not
duplicate the spectacular showing OF
last seasons yearlings, but from the
standpoint of material the coaches
believe them as good bunch as could
be asked for. Their addition to the
varsity next year will BOLSTER con-
siderably Idaho's chances and will
give Idaho some much needed reserve
strength. None of the freshmen this
year were outstanding players-in
fact several had never been in foot
ball togs before.
Had the schedule been six games
instead of four, the freshmen might
have been developed into more for
midable club, but freshmen teams are
no longer developed as separate en-
titles; the ultimate object is varsity
material.

are B. e. Lindberg, fullbacks, Post
