TWO LIBBY MEN MAKE RECORD
AT BOWLING TOURNAMENT

Libby's bowling teams at the Spo-
kane tournament failed to make much
of a record but better success resulted
from the work of John Lovick and ]
D. Hargreaves in the singles anc
doubles contests. Libby men all bowled
in Class c and in that classification
up to Tuesday night, Lovick was high
man with a score of 625 pins in three
games. Lovick and Hargreaves also
held first place in the same classified
ton in the two-man team contests
they having rolled total Of 1922 il
three games
Those composing the Libby team a
the tournament were John Lovick, J
D. Hargreaves, ]. W. Barrett, John
KuklinsE and William Dedrick. A
second team was also present from
Libby, among whom were Harold Mil
Ter, Kenneth Reid, Jim Leonard and
w. H. Kemp.
The tournament continues through
this week and the final winners will
not be known until the close

TROY WINS.

Missing setup after setup, crippled
Purple and Gold Terrier team went
down to defeat before an inspired Troy
five
Rusher started the scoring when he
made a neat onehanded shot from the
foul but Thorton, Troy's ace, soon had
the score tied when he also put in a
one handed shot from the foulline.
At half time Libby lead 8 to 8 but
in the first minute of the second half
Thorton sunk one field goal and two
free shots that put his team ahead.
From that time on Troy was never
headed although Libby staged several
desperate rallies. Thornton starred for
Troy while Rusher played stellar
role for the locals.

ART EXHIBIT.

Although the receipts were not Of
any great amount the people who saw
the exhibit we're well pleased with the
pictures on display
This exhibit gave every school child
chance to study and learn famous
painters and pictures.
The Lions Club and the Seniors are
both planning to buy pictures
The play, Bargain Day., was also
very good. Millett Keller was the hus-
band and Edna Mae Karnes the wife
who forgot her child while shopping.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the members of the Civic club for the
splendid exhibit.

Now that the end of the six weeks

will be many students who have beer

and worry. Many of the pupils do moi
work after tests-not until they are
given again when report cards are
given. Generally low and barely pas
sable grades are gotten and these dc
not bring determination and the de-
sire to do better. Remember that sue
cessful efforts during the six week.

GOLD


| Not long ago told in this column
of foolish millionaire who put mil
lion dollars in gold into safe-deposi,
box Several persons have written to
me saying my figures were wrong as
to the size of the box it would take
to hold so much gold. My banker
friend who told me the story said that
box 171a inches square and 1871
inches deep would hold million in
gold
The superintendent of the u. S. assay
office in New York gave me some cor
roborative figures. "A million dollars
in gold bullion would occupy a space
of 4,752 cubic inches or 2A cubic feet,
he said, land would weigh 1916 pounds
fpvoirdupois or 1.58 tons. We weigh
gold bars by grains, and an ounce Of
gold is troy ounce, which contains
480 grains; but when we ship gold bars
we weigh them, for freight purposes,
in avoidupois pounds, of 1000 grains
to the pound. 1t takes rs $40 grains
Of coin gold to make a dollar, so the
$40 goldpiece, or double eagle, contains
little more than an ounce of coin
gold and a little less than a troy ounce
Of pure gold"
BOOKS
This year there will be fewer books
published, but they will be better
books, the publishers say. For several
years it has been possible for almost
anybody to get a book published
whether the author knew how to
write and had something to say, or
not The country was flooded with
volumes from the pens Of young writers
whose ambitions outran their abilities,
who had never taken the trouble
to learn how to write and who, quite
generally, were interested in nothing
but indecency.
The reading public is getting dis
gusted with books which reflect no
emotions above the level Of animal
ism, recognize no spiritual forces or
values in life. Readers are turning
back to the sound old classics. More
young folk are reading Robinson Cruz
soc than have for years turned to that
great book, which ranks next to the
Bible and Shakespeare in its enduring

Hello Everybody!

Libby.
This is what an observer heard when
he attended the basketball games of
Libby high school The Peptomist girls
have been appearing in their attractive
purple and white costumes down in the
gymnasium for the past four weeks
between the halves of basketball games.
Though their steps may be clumsy
there're well meant though their voices
rusty, don't resent it for Pep is their
motto and Pep" is their creed, they
are the Pep, Pep, Peptomist!
Friday night was the last perform
ance Of the Peptomists. The skit was
supposed to represent the seige of Troy
with the wooden horse but as the Pep
tomists put on their program at the
end of the game instead of the half
the program, due to Lbby's defeat,
underwent a change, Because this pro-
gram failed to function in the proper
way the Peptonists cannot be blamed
for it was absolutely no fault Of theirs.
We do appreciate the fact that the
Peptomists continued their program
and endeavored to give the Libby
rooters an idea in spite of the defeat.

ABILITY
| think we are coming toward the
end Of the time when incompetence
could put itself over" by blatant ad-
vertising Of inferior products. People
are not buying poor quality products
now and are not so ready to believe
what plausible promoters tell them. It
is going to be harder, for few years
at any rate, for swindlers to sell worth
less stocks and bonds and for self
styled artists to PALM off their socalled
modern paintings and sculptures as
real works of art.
Ability is going to come into its own
again. The principal trouble with the
nation and the world today is that sec
ond-rate and third-rate men have been
ballyhooed as first-raters and getting
away with it
HOUSING
Lewis Munford, distinguished New
York architect, says that the home has
again become the family recreational
center, and that the home Of the future
must be much more comfortable and
beautiful At the Museum Of Modern
Art many other architects have shown
that they agree with him, exhibiting
pictures and models Of houses designed
to meet modern conditions, some OF
which are actually built or building.
Glass is used literally, both for outer
walls and partitions, giving every room
ample air and sunlight Homes built
in rows, if properly planned, are now
held to give more privacy than de-
tached houses, and they cost less to
build. Soundproof walls are insisted
upon. Large living rooms facing gar
dens, and kitchens built to save labor
are regarded as essential Roofs will
be utilized for recreation in the cities
and towns of the future, and all homes
will have ample balconies besides.
Some of the plans and pictures Of
these modern homes look odd to eyes
accustomed to conventional forms, but
! find young minds accepting them en-
Enthusiastically. This first international
exhibition of modern architecture is to
be shown in Philadelphia, Hartford,
Los Angeles, Buffalo, Cleveland, Mil
waukee, Cincinnati, Toledo, Rochester,
Worchester and Cambridge after it
closes in New York on March %. and
it will be worth making a trip to see.
