You Still Can Depend on
Old Man Weather to Play
q Prominent Part in the
Meas.

VXTOMEN, crime and scandal
w gradually are giving place to
sport, politics, industry and science
in the news, according TO Karl A
Bickel, who, as head of the United
Press, should know what he Is talk
ing about.
There are several explanations for
the change, such as the growth of
organized business, the revolution
iSing effect of inventions and the
general increase of intelligence, but
when all is said and done such In
stitutions as the United Press de-
serve, some of the credit.
These institutions, covering as
they do practically all the civilized
world, and portraying the really big
events, make it unnecessary for peo-
pie to feed on the trivialities and
trash they once thought essential.
In the beginning, newspapers
were little more than enlarged edi-
tons of neighborhood gossip and
local politics.
To all intents and purposes they
suppianted the ladies' aid society,
the corrcr grocery group and the
village ring.
Shut off from the outside world,
but compelled to make an impress
sion to survive, they ran to freaks,
fads and follies.
Misfortune. whether caused by
sickness, accident or crime, was
their chief stock in trade, and pub
licity seekers were more than vel
come because of the free copy they
supplied.
Like everything else, Journalism
had to work its way up through the
stew and mistakes Of in1naaturity.

It's Universal

A MOTHER thing about weather
L a is its universally. Though ex-
pressing itself in different forms,
perhaps, it can not be regarded as
local institution.
In earlier days, people believed
that its vagaries could be traced to
minor causes, like the Gulf stream.
the Great Lakes and the Rocky
mountains.
Then they blamed the moon for
it, Now they have gotten as far as
sun spots. Eventually they may
conclude that it depends on combi-
nations of cosmic forces.
The weather, when you come to
think of it, is broadening subject,
which adds to its news appeal.

SCIENCE

Thousands of Tons Of Licoricc
Root Are Imported to u. S.
Annually; Efforts to Grow
1t Here FdiI.

T ICORICE root. an important
~ raw material in the tobacco,
1rug and confectionery industries, is
imported into the United States
rom Spain, Italy, southern Russia,
Asia Minor and southern Asia. At
,empts to produce it on a COM
nercial scale in the United States
so far have proved a failure, ac-
cording to a report by Doctors P. A.
Houseman and H. T. Lacey of the
Mellon Institute of Industrial Re-
search of the University of Pitts
ourgh.
An attempt at large scale licorice
culture in New Jersey, covering a
period Of years, has not proved COM
mercially successful, the two
scientists state in a communication
to the American Chemical Society.
About $4,000 tons of licorice root
are imported annually. About 80
per cent of the extract manufactured
from 1T is used by the tobacco in
duStry.
1t serves a three fold Junction.
there, first, as a fiavoring and
sweetening agent; second, as a
blending agent to make the tobacco
more mild, and third, as an aid to
keep the tobacco moist.
The other 10 per cent is divided
about equally b; - cen the pharma-
ceuticaI and confectionery indus
tries, according to Doctors House
man and Lacey.
The chief role of licorice in phar-
macy is to disguise the unpleasant
taste of various drugs. 1t also is
used in cough sirupS and throat
lozenges of various sorts.

Shrub

II ICOR1CE confectionery has
~ been somewhat under a cloud
in the past, owing to the widespread
substitution of Oil of aniSe for the
genuine licorice flavor" the report
states. 1.-THE use of licorice as a
wholesome ingredient of high-grade
CONNECTIONS is gaining increasing
recognition.
After the licorice extract has been
obtained, a second extract is made
from the root. This is used as a
f1re-extinguishing agent. And in
addition, the residual fiber of the
root is used as a raw material for
making cardboard and building ma
terial.
The licorice plant grows wild over
large areas of Spain, Italy, southern
Russia, Asia Minor and southern
Asia. The plant is a perennial
shrub, reaching a height of one or
two feet in the more fertile valleys.
But while the shrub itself is not
very large, the roots grow to amaz-
ing length. They average twenty
five feet in length and about one
inch in diameter.
During the autumn months peas
ants dig these roots with primitive
tools, such as have been used by
their forefatherS for thousands of
years." the report states nd hault

Here the roots are rooted, cleaned,
weighed, and paid for by weight.
THE roots are piled in huge stacks
for curing, where they are left
through the following summer until
they become dry enough for baling.
When dry, the roots are pressed into
bales weighing about three hundred
pounds and shipped to the Unitef
States"

BASKETBALL PRACTICE

The first turnout for basketball was held Tuesday, October IS. The girls practiced in the afternoon and the boys in the evening. A large number of students were present for the first practice.
 Although the girls team has lost two veteran players through the graduation of Violet Lundell and Roberta Fraser, much experienced material remains.
 Since there are less than half as many boys as girls in school, Coach King has a more difficult problem than Miss Pepoon in se- lccting his players and whipping them into a team.
 Coaches King and Durham, oi Juneau, will later meet to arrange @ schedule of games. The first tangle between the Is landers and the Hilltoppers will not take place until after Christmas. Both coaches agree that short, snappy season, is preferable to a long, dragged-out one.

 Barbara, dear, girl, I can't let you go back home without telling you all the splendid, wonderful things you've come to mean to me love you, Barbara, I've loved you right from the first moment I saw you on the boat"
 She knew that she should have stopped him before this, that she had been wrong in not doing SO But the pride in her, hurt by Rays absence, rejoiced in what he was saying.
 What did it matter anyhow did any man honestly mean what he said to a girl when the mystery of a June night put disturbing thoughts into his head? She doubt ed it. Nevertheless she said:
 Please, Hendy-remain the dear friend you've always been-don't spoil it all now"
 But Barbara, I can't be just friend much longer-I can't be- lieve you're happy as things are. I've watched you, my dear, and you have been worried and miser- able-won't you confess it to me?"
 His arms were very close around her. Her voice sounded very small.
 "Yes, I have been, Hendy."
 A triumphant light kindled his eyes, but his tones were still pur- posely tender.
 I've known it and, Barbara, dear, I've been terribly sorry for you, only I knew that you'd hate for me to say it. It makes me mad to think of you thrown away on a brute who doesn't appreciate you"

SYNOPSIS: Barbara, her an- kle injured when her horse fell in making 9 water jump after a fox-hunt, returns to Tender sor's home to learn that Ray has fled to Londcn, pleading manufactured excuse of urgent businesG. She finds a short note, explaining only that he will re- turn in 3 few days. Indignant at Rays behavior, Barbara de- termines to hide the hurt and piunges wildly into a role of gaiety and happiness while she secretly longs for Rays return. A few nights later she and Henderson are paired for a midnight treasure hunt.

 Barbara eyed her distrustfully.
 'Hendy-I don't think I'd better. "
 What rot. A good stiff drink will do you good"
 She shrugged and picked up the glass, studying it absent -mindedly What did it matter anyhow?
 A sense of depression had set tied over her and she was furious with herself that this should be so.
 Hadn't she determined to be gay that night and forget.everything
 The trouble, of course, was Ray She had begun thinking of him again, doubting. worrying. If only he had written her, telephoned her made her understand his ab- sence.

 Bravo" murmured Henderson.
 She grinned at him foolishly, con- scious of a giddy feeling creep ing up into her brain. She saw a stuffed bird in the corner wobbling perilously on it's pedestal as though it contemplated taking flight Her own legs seemed reluctant to obey the dictation of her mind.
 Let's get out into the air." she articulated with difficulty and Hem derson smiled to himself as, with his arm through hers, he led her outside.
 The abbey was not far from the inn and as they came within sight of it, yellowed as it was by float ing balloon of moon, it made an eerie and inspiring picture.
 Barbara, her enthusiasm revived scrambled eagerly out of the car and together she and Henderson picked their way between the crumbling boulders that lay on the outskirts of the ruin.
 This was the monks old dining hall" he told her as they stood within an enclosure, the four walls of which still remained standing.
 She nodded without speaking, momentarily carried away by the romance of past that seemed very near at that moment. With her veneration for everything old she seemed under spell, and Hen derson remained silent, not wishing to break it. tn
 Moonlight and an old ruin can create romance even if the man you arc with is not the right one. Barbara was the only human, and she was obsessed in that very early morning by a nobody loves me- feeling that is eminently dangerous when there is not unattractiVe man in the offing She shivered suddenly cold in the absurdly thin cloak she wore
