Intermountain played better ballthan usual and held a fast team incheck until late in the contest, whenthey cracked' before a shower of at-tempts that the Mines' scoring ma-chine bombarded their basket with.The Panthers were out in front bya 9-8 score at the half, but aftermaking a fast start in' the secondperiod, they slumped and the ore dig-gers tied the count and then a 15-11lead only to have it tied by the Pan-thers with about four minutes to go.

that can be obtained by attending themeetings of a good active societylike the. Anderson-Carlisle should be-and could be if only greater inter-est were shown in getting the societygoing properly. After the societygets going, then it would undoubted-ly hold the interest of the membersand be of great value to everyone.

A smoker was held in the Engi-nering Building by the society March9, and everyone attending was as-sured by the success of the smokerthat the Anderson-Carlisle society isgoing over big in the future.

The first intercollegiate debate ofthe year for the School of Minessquad was held on January 29 whena team of young women from Mon'-tan a State Normal College stoppedoff in Butte long enough to take themeasu"e of the Ore Diggers in a hot-ly fought argument. The contest washeld in the Chemistry Lecture. roomwith a fair-sized audience in attend-ance. many of them .being visitors tothe hill from people interested in thequestion under discussion. The stu-dent attendance was limited some-what by the fact that so many had toleave to go on Friday night shift.The Pi Kappa Delta national ques-

tion was used, it being, "Resolved,that the constitution' of the UnitedStates should be so amended as topermit Congress to regulate child la-bor." The Miners upheld the affirm- .ative with Archie McPhail, Helen Mc-Gregor, and Harold Johns comprisingthe team. The Teachers' trio includ-ed Mrs. Mary Mahrt of Ovando, MissAnnie Hench of Stevensville, andMiss Alice Bennett of Anaconda. Thejudges were Rev, C. F. Chapman,Earle Genzberger, and J. R. Thomas.Their decision was unanimously in fa-vor of the negative, but they statedafterwards that the contest was close.The speakers on both teams displayedmuch' ability and considerable studyof their subjects: In both construe-tive speeches and in rebuttal therewas much give and take in the argu-ments. The visitors quoted manystatistics and went into more detailthan did the local collegians, but theydid not show as much skill and readi-ness in adjusting their arguments tothe debate while talking.The Miners maintained that state

regulation of child labor has beenlacking in unity and in ~ffectiveness.They showed that efforts .to secureminimum standards of regulation forall of the states by Congressional ac-tion had been halted by adverse de-cisions of the Supreme Court and thatan amendment must be. passed beforeany uniformity could be secured. Suchminimum standards, they argued, arenecessary to protect many childrenwho now have inadequate state lawsto protect them, to secure economicequality among the business men ofthe various states who must meetchild labor competition, and to pro-

OUR UTILITIES LEAD THE WORLDThe per capita use of electricity in the United States is approx-

imately five times that of Great Britain.The United States leads the world in the production and use of

electrical energy, because of the vigor and enterprise' of American. privately-owned electric utility companies.

This country consumes nearly 60,000,000,000 kilowatt hours ofcurrent a year. With the increasing use of electricity in the UnitedStates has come a steady increase in the size of generating units andboilers. Compared with the 50,000 kilowatt steam turbine of today,the 4,000 kilowatt steam turbine of twenty years ago looks like atea kettle.

The World Court campaign properhas passed into the realm of history.It would truly take a good-sizedpiece of historical investigation toascertain the results achieved.

START IN DEBATE

(Continued from Page One)---------------------------------mote the social welfare of the UnitedStates which is injured by having solarge a number of growing up with-out the usual advantages of child-hood.

The Normals contended that theproposal is an invasion of staterights, that the states are meetingthe conditions adequately, that uni-formity in so large a country with somany diqerent economic conditions isundesirable, and that permitting sucha proposition to become a matter ofconstitutional enactment would pavethe way for many radical enactmentsof danger to our governmental insti-tutions. They quoted freely from sta-tistics of many kinds, the chief clashWith the affirmative coming over thecensus figures of :1920.The second intercollegiate debate of

the year came February 24, when theBillings Polytechnic Institute team,on a trip west to take part in fourContests included the School of MinesWith Intermountain, Mount St.Charles, and Montana State on itsschedule. Coach G. A. Holmesbrought with him Harold Morton, Al-fred Bartz and William Hafer, andthey were opposed by Archie McPhail,Belen McGregoT, and Harold Johns.The visitors upheld the negative ofthe child labor amendment question,the Miners again taking the affirma-tive. The contest on the whole wasnot nearly as good as the one withthe Normal College, as the Ore Dig-gers had very little time for the im-~lediate preparation necessary. Thelne of argument taken by each wasVery similar to that in the previousdebate. The judges, J'rincipal J. G.Ragsdale of the Butte high school,lI1:issGer trude Ryan, debate coach atthe Butte high school, and BrotherlI1:cCarthy, principal of the ChristianBrothers' high school, was a two toone vote in favor of the School oflI1:ines. The argument, held at the~utte high school, attracted a fair-slzed crowd considering the other at-tractions of the evening.

t For the coming weeks the debate~am has several events ahead. AboutB.a~ch 25 a two-man team will go toI,llhngs for a return contest with Bil-lngS Poly. If arrangements can bel11ade,they will stop at Bozeman for~ talkfest with a Montana State Col-ege team. On Tuesday, March 30,lI1:ountSt. Charles is sending its teamto Butte to argue the repeal of the18th amendment, a question full of in-terest at present. Debates with In-~1'l11ountain, one in Butte and one in. elena, are also being dated. There~ ~ probability too that the StateBnlVersity team will be brought toVutte to debate the amending of the1.01 tead Law to permit the sale oft1,ght Wines and beer, the same ques-lIon the University and the State Col-ege are using in their state tour thisrear. With all these contests in view,'he men out for debate feel that they\Viii g t plenty of practice at theirfavorite indoor sport.

The Freshmen debaters had their r-~-----------~-------------------big time Sunday afternoon, March 7, 1 ZUBICK ART STUDIO Iwhen they tangled with the Butte The Gift that creates no greater obligation than the friendly thought-high school forensic representatives . fulness that prompted it--Your Photograph.before the Butte Open Forum. When I hPone 1843 114 West Broadwayit came to attracting a crowd, arous- ~ ~

ing excitement, and getting all kindsof publicity, the Frosh put it all overanything the varsity has done latelyThe papers the next day gave thembig headlines or front page space,part of which was offset by mistakesmade in the stories themselves.

The contest was arranged to keepthe high school team in practice be-fore their appearance in the statehigh school contest, and to let theMines men get experience and prac-tice. There was to be no formal de-cision of judges, but an audience de-cision that would let the Butte teamscore points for their debate, wasag-reed upon just before the argumentbegan. That this audience decisionwould be in favor of the scholasticswas evident because a public speakingclass in considerable number wasthere taking notes. The question was,"Resolved that the 18th amendmentto the Constitution of the UnitedStates should be repealed." PrincipalJ. G. Ragsdale of the Butte highschool presided, handling the posit.ionin his usual fine style. The open fo-rum style of conclusion was adoptedwith the audience being allowed toask each side five questions whichmust be answered by some member ofthe team.

The surprise of the afternoon wasthe crowd that was attracted by thediscussion. Every available bit ofseating and standing room in the hallat the Butte Y. M. C. A., where theOpen Forum meets, was occupied.Applause for the speakers was fre-quent as they made some telling ar-gument and when it came time for theaudience to ask questions, so manywere on their feet asking for recogni-tion that only a small part of themcould be given a chance. EvidentlyButte people are interested deeply inthe prohibition question and will turnout to hear it argued.Joseph Newton, Tom Hosty, and

William Negherbon, comprising theButte high team, are all good talkersand unusually at home before anaudience. They had the affirmativeof the question and their argumenttook the line of attack on the presentenforcement of the prohibition lawsmore than anything else. Their talkswere interesting and in accord withthe opinion of many in the audience,but from the standpoint of good de-bating they were not very strong inlogical argument and convincingproof. The Freshmen built up amuch more logical and conclusivecase, showing the fundamental, econ-omic and social soundness of the 18thamendment, the definite progressmade toward economic bettermentsince it went into effect, and the re-sults that will be gained in the futurefrom its retention. The 1929 repre-sentatives were Fred Johnson of Spo-kane and Henry Helland and ArchieMcPhail of Butte. The rebuttalspeeches were spirited and at timesalmost hated with the Miners in theopinion of experienced judges of de-

bate having considerably the betterof them.

The vote of the audience presentwas 60 to 52 in favor of the highschool's being the better debaters and55 to 48 in favor of their side of thequestion. The debate and the ques-tions were, as has previously beenmentioned, the subject of big head-lines and long write-ups in the Mon-day papers. That they charged theMiners varsity with an unearned de-feat, is now credited to the papersin the error column with appropriatecomment from all Mines students.
