Mrs. Oreta, Member of State
Oontmiuion, Bays Desire Ie
to Please People—Mothers
Inter Objections.
rt l "
I When Mk«d nurdlni a report that
paany Idaho mothers of soldier boys
Who sacrificed their lives for their
^country had spoken strongly against
the Idea of a personal Instead of
goasral type of face being selected for
the soldiers' memorial statua Mrs. J.
0. Orson, the Bolee member of the
Commission said:
'It is true that a bitter protest Is
toeing voiced from a number of the
mother* of Idaho soldiers who lost
their Hves in the service of their coun
try against the adoption by the etate
memorial commission of any personal
type of face to be used in moulding the
model of the American soldier selected
by that body.
MOTHERS OBJECT.
"The mothere feel that the living
Soldiers have received recognition and
Toward from the government and the
approval of their friends.
"The mothers argue that there
should be a general type embodying
the features of strength, of rugged
marking, and of true weetem charac
teristics. They bitterly resent the
placing on a pedestal of tame cither
une or three types when hundiTds of
Idaho sons sacrificed their lives for
their country.
"Many protests are coming in, each
one seemingly more bitter than the
others. I think I may state for the
commission that It desires only to
meet the will of the majority. That
whatever the people desire is their
wish. And surely the Idaho mother
who is left utterly alone has suffered
ths greatest bereavement the world
can know.''_ .

The Way Mr. Walter » Responded to Madge's Invitation.

THEN 'the door had closed behind
Jim. Lillian looked at ms with
eyee In which lurked a twinkle.
" 'Fass up now," aha raid, "that youTa
wendarlng why under the son I didn't
«•nit Until tomorrow morning to tell Jim
what I wanted him to do." .
"Such a thought has crested my al
leged brain," I smilingly admitted.
"I don't blame you," site replied, "and
1 wouldn't have told a man of another
typo than Jim. It will take him all
night to turn the thing over in his mind,
and gat it all settled to his own satis
faction. If he had been compelled to go
rn such an errand—knowing the Impor
tance of It. end the imperative necessity
for eeorecy—with but a few minutes'
notice he would huve been oompiotaly
rattled. As It la, Jim will be a regular
sleuth tomorrow with uervea of stael."
"Who but you coull have read Jim
that way 7" I epclalrned, and Uts words
wera no Idle enea
Whet Lillian Suggested.
"Wrap the noaegays In tinfoil until wa
set through with this business. I
haven't tim« to make a bow now." Lil
lian said Impudently, but I knew that
behind har mirth lay grim truth, and 1
straightened myself Into nn attitude of
attention and waited for hur further di
rer! ions.
"Didn't you aay this Walters chap has
a tiater you know very well?" she asked
after a few mlnu'es' thought.
■'Yea. Esther," I repltod. ' She was a
favorite pupil of mlno lost year."
"Know her well enough to call her up
nod aak har end har brother over this
evening for a game of bridger*
"Of eourse." •
''Then do It, pronto." Lillian rose end
-tretched her arms wnorlly. "Make the
invitation so cordial and Insistent that
when It Is repeated to tha brother he
will suspect there Is something up and
reek any oilier engagement he may
have mad«.'*
Significant Words.
"What'll wo do with tho reat of the
fondly?" I ventured as I turned toward

"I'll drop a word In your father's ear

STANFORD. TO BE
A SUPER-SCHOOL
Stanford University, Cal., Dee. 19.—
A "super" university may be the latest
development in America educational,
circles according to friends of Dr. Ray
Lyman Wilbur, president ond Herbert
Hoover, trustee, of Le land Stanford
Junior university, who have been
watching tho growth of the Institution
during the past few years.
Believing that the first two years of
college work can be done ns well In
"Junior college" departments of public
high schools, Stanford University au
thorities *re sold to be planning to
eliminate freshman and sophomore
work from the nniverelty curriculum.
Fifth and sixth year college of the de
partments, and It I« believed tho "su
per" education, will eventually sup
plant th* elemlntsry cours«« through
out the unlveralty.
Junior collegia hav. been «gtabllshed
In many of tha high schools of Cali
fornia, particularly in tho southern
P"ft of the state.

you
"'Idle as for your moMicr-ln-law,
know that the merest hint to tho effect
that them Is somu mysterious planning
going on will send lier to lier room in
the seventh heaven of thrilling sus
pense."
We both laughed merrily nt the re
membrance of several occasions when
my mother-in-law's fondne.«» for any
thing that savored of melodrama In real
life had reduced her usual arbitrary
hauteur to abject meekness and obedi
ence to ordere.
"As for the Dinky-btrd," Lillian went
on, answering my unspoken question. "It
Isn't likely h -'ll hop '»to too nest before
the atrange birds fly away. But If he
does. leave him to me. I'll clip bis
wings."
I permitted myself a bit of wondering
speculation on my way down the stair«
to the telephone ss to the plan Lillian
had for retting possession of the leak.
That she had some itefinlto course of
action mapped out I was sure, but with
my slower wits I could not guess what
she meant to do. i
I could obey her ordern, however, and
In another minute I had railed the Wal
ters home and w w Hh toning to a drop,
masculine voice, which I recognized at
one« us that of the young: attorney.
"Mr. Arthur Walters »peaking," the
vole* oald crisply.
'How do you do, Mr. Waltere," I
Mid with my very best nlr for the bene
fit of any listening operator. "This 1«
Mre. Graham. Is Hather there?"
"Not Just now »* ho voice held a note
of itTeprcMsible astonishment. "tfho
went out on un errand for mother. Hut
sht? will be back within ten minutes.'*
"Oh, that will he all riffht than?" I
•said. "Mrs. Underwood and I wondered
If you and Esther could not run over
tonight and take a hand at bridge. Mre
urn the only fiends In our families, and
we haven't had a saine in ages. It real
ly le Imperative that you come and Jolr
us."
I tried to throw a significance into my
Inst words that I hoped he woufcl recoz* '
nlsa And I could not repress a smile !
at my description of lAlllsn nud myself 1
as bridge fiends. Lillian, It she chooses. I
plays a brilliant «rame, but the pastime |
bores her to death, while I am one of .
the persons who posmui absolutely no ;
card sense at all.
Mr. Walters waited n minute that '
seesned an hour before answering• When '
he did speak his voice was casual.
•We shall bo very triad to come over.'
