Doable Header Lost to Athena
The double header basketball game
at Athena last Friday night resulted
in a defeat for Hermiston.
The girl's game wag the fastest
and most exciting game of the sea­
son. The score at the end of the first
half was 14-15 and a few minutes
before the end of the game Hermiston
was leading by 3 points. Although the
ball wag in the Hermiston territory
practically three-fourth of the time
the forwards seemed unable to put
It through the hoOp. A t this time
Margaret Neary, playing guard, was
disqualified for personal fouls and
Orrel Campbell was substituted. The
wakness this caused the team prob­
ably accounts for the immediate rise
in Athena's score and their final vic­
tory 21-18. The fight put up by the
Hermiston girls in the last game of
their season was commendable.
The girl's lineup wag as follows:
Forwards, Bensel, Sullivan: Guards
Addleman, Neary, Robinson, Me.
Naught; Substitutes, Campbell for
Neary.
The boys of Athena high seemed
to outplay the Hermiston boys In
every department of the game, and
the final score wa8 33-13.

cording to the American Legion Week­
ly. Due rookie medico had a 75-bed
ward thrust upon him the first day of
his array career. He struggled valiant­
ly with his professional work, but
failed to realize that he was now a
soldier. He forgot the sacred morning
report*, lie forgot to make out the
sacred mesa regulations. He exasper­
ated everybody. Finally the colonel
haled him to the carpet and demand­
ed: “ Why In the blankety-blank-blank

The young doctor looked at him In
sleepy-eyed surprise. “Army regula­

WRONG IDEAS ABOUT ALASKA
Winters There Are Mild, Thermometer
In Region of Juneau Barely
Reaching Zero.
I met a family In Juneau, Alaska,
that had formerly resided in Cleve­
land. I asked the indy of the house 11
it wasn't somewhat difficult to stand
the rigors of the northern climate,
writes Sherman Rogers In the Outlook.
She laughed outright
•‘Well," she answered, “we endured
Cleveland winters, and Juneau Is cer­
tainly a- paradise compared with Cleve­
land, either in winter or summer. We
have been north eight years In a ll;
spent five winters here, and three
hack home; the five years we have
lived here during the winter months
the thermometer has never reached
zero. Do you Imagine it takes a rig­
orous person to stand such a climate?"
Thia was followed by peals of laugh­
ter and further remarks about the
silly Ideas of people In the States re­
garding the climate of Alaska.
Southeastern Alaska has an Oregon-
Washington climate, due to the Jap­
anese current, which has the same ef­
fect from Ketchikan to Cape Spencer
as It has on Puget sound, resulting In
very mild winters and extremely de­
lightful summers. Very seldom. In the
last 20 years, has the thermometer
reached zero in this entire section.
The interior of Alaska, made famous
by exaggerating novelists, has a cli­
mate closely duplicating Minnesota in
the winter, and Maine or Oregon In
summer.

Girl With Experience Is Disillusioned
Concerning Qualities of the
“Strong, Silent Man."
“Deliver me," said the girl with ex­
perience, “from any more of these
strong, silent men. They make very
good fiction heroes, lint personally 1

strength does nut. lie in his breaking
all records for silence, I like a man
who knows the value of a pause or a
moment in which no one says any­
thing, but in which unutterable things
are felt.
“A man who shatters a time like
that, or doesn’t even know when it
comes along, is, as we say, ‘impossi­
ble.’ I f there’s anything worse than
a female chatterbox, it’s a mnle chat­
terbox, but that's no reason why a man
enn’t answer ‘Yes’ when you say, ‘Isn't
It a lovely (lay?’ without thinking that
he Is violating a secret.
“Writers are to blame, I believe, for
building up the fictionally perfect, but
realistically terrible, type of man,
whose stock In trade is an enigmatical
smile. Consequently, ewery man who
is shy, bashful or stupid feels that he
has an excellent alibi. A girl who is
not versed In the ways of men, but
knows her story books bnckward and
forward, is led to believe that the man
who listens alike to her prattling, her
small talk and’ her profoundest re­
marks wltli a mere quirk to the left
side of his mouth, is a fiction hero
come to life. After a season or two. de­
pending on her perspicacity, she knows,
alas, that he is generally just a very
dull man. Of course, If he is dull. It’s
much better that he should be dumb as
well. The only pity Is that he appears,
at first, to be what he decidedly Is
not"

Great progress has been made in the

Irrigated In the United Stales amount­
ed to approximately 19.000,000 acres
