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.

Finally the colonel haled him to the carpet and demand­ ed: “ Why In the blankety-blank-blank don't you read your army regulations?"

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.

Consequently, ewery man who is shy, bashful or stupid feels that he has an excellent alibi.
