Because of the Icy condition ot the
highway and lack of train service at
the last minute Pendleton cancelled
their games with the Hermiston boys
an girls which were to be played last
Friday , night. The manager tried
to arrange games at the last minute
with other teams and finally schedul­
ed a game with the first team of Co­
lumbia College of Milton. The Col­
lege boys however, were worn out by
the trip as the game was not arrang­
ed until Friday afternoon, and drop­
ped the game to Hermiston 15-12.
A preliminary game between the
eighth grade girls and the freshmen
girls resulted in a victory for the
eighth grade girls. The score was
21-6.

The technical significance of the per­

make low-powered instruments do the
work which in large commercial sta­

Less than one kilowatt was used by
the amateurs in transmitting three sig­

and sea—for some of those far In the

Through utmost effort Lilian

tells her to leave the house Immedi­

Lilian hurries madly home and

When Lilian comes down to dinner
she finds Dr. Brodie telling about

recognizes Lilian immediately but
does not betray her. Richard’s cur­

the woman and both he and the other
guests suspect Lilian. Lilian in the
meantime manages to get her note
from the desk drawer. Richard fail­

begs her pardon for suspecting her.
After the guests depart Lilian confes-
es that she was the woman, and with
a new understanding between her­
self and her husband they decide to
start life together anew.
