They are unconsciously educating
themselves in science and mechanics
and putting themselves in touch with
some of the best the world has to
offer in education and entertainment.
The writer was informed recently
by the president Of leading trans
former company which developed an
exceptionally efficient and simple Cir
cult of the reflex type, that he esti-
mated conservatively that more than
100000 people had built circuits of
that type. This company in the past
two years has distributed more than
100000 copies. of simple, popular
handbook on set building entitled
"Amplification Without Distortion"
For what boys and young men have
done for radio, radio is returning ben
efits manifold and of great variety.
Not only does it make home life
brighter and better for the American
boy and keep him away from pool
rooms and other trashy amusements
and from bad companions, but nothing
builds up boys gray matter like
studying out radio circuit and stick
ing to it until he makes it work.
It trains him to use his mind, and it
also trains him to use his hands. He
learns how to interpret diagrams, to
use tools, and variety of materials,
many kinds of wood, rubber, wire, in
sulation, steel and many metals. 1t
gives him a sense of values when he
compares the saving which he makes
in buying the materials and construct
ing his own set, with what he would
have to pay in buying set ready
made. Who knows but some of the
boys who have been experimenting
with radio during the past five years
(many of them already hold important
positions in the Industry, and other
boys and young men who are now ex.
perimenting with it, will become the
Edisons and the Steinmetzes Of the
future.

IDAHO BASKETBALL COACH INTRODUCES
NEW ssPASS SYSTEM, FOR COAST COLLEGES

by practically all large universities
on the Coast.
By using this es'pass SYSTEM" which
he learned while playing professional
basketball in the East, Mr. Macmillan
| turned out championship teams which
dazzled the western sport world.
Macmillan came to the University
of Idaho in 1920. The following two
years he coached Pacific Coast cham
pionship teams.
In coaching baseball he has been
equally successful, having trained
! such men as Vernon, "Skippy" Stiv-
ers, who joined the San Francisco
Seals Immediately after graduation,
and now is utility infelder for that
club; Sylvester Kleffner, who also re-
ceived an offer from the Seals; and
Robert Fitzke, who is now with the
Decatur, ILL.,, club of the "Three I"
League. He trained with the Cleve-
land club this spring.
Macmillan is an athlete of no mean
! ability. Basketball has been his ia
vorite sport. He learned the funda-
mentals Of the game in high school
and Savage College, New York, where
he was student for two years. After
graduation he played professional
basketball in New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania.
When Macmillan first started to
play basketball it was a very minor
sport and had not become nationally
popular as had baseball and football.
When basketball was out of season
Mr.. Macmillan played baseball. AS a
first baseman he played semi-profes-
sional ball in New York and New Jer-
sey, and in 1915 the Brooklyn profess
sional club made him an offer.

Judge Dietrich in most favorable
light and Senator Borah is quite hope
full he will be named If another va
cancy occurs on the circuit bench.
Dietrich's appointment in that event
would give to the northwest all three
judges on the circuit bench, for Judge
Rudkin, the third judge, was appoint
ed from Washington.
Judge Dietrich, beyond a doubt,
would have been appointed to the
circuit court of appeals but for the
fact that Mr.. McCamant, as delegate
to the republican national convention
at Chicago in 1920, had placed Calvin
Coolidge in nomination for vice
