MERCY! BOYS SWIM
WITHOUT CLOTHES
Police Called to Stop Shock
ing Disgrace.

1t was disgracefu!. Yes, worse
than the German intrigue.
And right where the public had to
pass.
OF course the only thing to do was to
call the police.
A few minutes later S. Their
riault, desk sergeant at the police
station, received a call from a greatly
excited woman. Between gasps she
declared that several boys were in
swimming at Van Buren, street and
that they were entirely naked. She
demanded that the police investigate
at once.
Patrolman Il. V. Burks rushed TO the
scene of the september Morn" cx-
hibition, but when he arrived the
waters of the river flowed along
smoothly without any sign of human
occupants.
After making an investigation Pa
trolman Burks learned that two little
chaps about seven years old had been
! in bathing there a few minutes before.

scouts was held Friday evening and
excitement ran high among the lads.
who had almost given up hope of their
outing because it seemed there would
not be automobiles or other vehicles to
take them.''
The scoutmasters are grateful said
Mr.. Hubert, to those kind friends who
are donating cars and supplies to give
tieNboys this period of happy living
out of doors. The boys have looked
forward for months to this outing.
They have been saving equipment and
nickels in order not to be left out.
No better patriotic duty, the scout
master believes, could be done by cit
liens of Missoula than giving such
boys as these, through the channels of
the scout movement. opportunity to
become more useful and more loyal
citizens.f The scout principles can't
be beaten for development of all that
is good and fine in boy" he says.
Some of the scouts will leave in cars

Sunday morning. All scouts sched-

to be at the postoffice not later than

A NEW JOB.

A new job has been creat ed. It is an easy one and there can be litle doubt but that of. fice-seeking politicians will be hot-foot after it. It pays well and 1t will be strickly a polite al plum with no "silly" civil service handicaps attached to 1t. This new job goes under the title of "Inpector of Ex- piosiyes," D. c. Sargent, of CordoYa, won the plum for this territory.
 n "he duties of the job are re flected in tthe title. The man who holds the office is to be charged with the responsibil- ity of inspecting dynamite, nj troglycerine and other power ful explosives which are not listed in the catalog of things for babies to play with.
 The law creating this new position was passed in the closing days of the recent ses- sion of congress. It slid through without great deal of publicity. It provides that the President, by and with the advice and consent of the sen ate, may appoint ill each state and in Alaska an explosive in speetor whose duty it sh ho" ho under the a'.r. -"', oe' eau of mines, to see that this act is faithfully executed and observed. Each inspector shall receive a salary of $2,400 a year. He may be detailed at any time for service outside his own territory and, of course, will be entitled in that event to expenses.
 In passing this legislation,
 
 congress "handvd onee' to the civil service commission. It waived civil service on the pre- text that the jobs would expire when the war ends and that the work is of such a charact- CT that men best fitted to do it shuold be selected outside of civil service.

"AT. SAVING Whn.

Out of the conservation pro- paganda of Food Commission CT Hoover is coming some in teresting data with respect to the tremendous totals reached in this country in small fam fly wastages. For instance:
 If one ounce of meat a day is saved in each home in the United States for one year it will amount to a total of 465,- 000,000 pounds, Since the av- craze weight of food cattle is 1,200 pounds, this means a say ing of. 3S3,000 animals in a year, "~,.
 One slice of bread saved daily amounts to 365,000, 1000 loaves annually, or enough to supply half a loaf of bread a day for year to 2,0O0,0 1000 peo- pie. -sA1>'-ziasiA sss sAE
 One pat of butter less a day amounts to 100000 porynus u A year saved.
 These figures lead to furth- CT analysis. The making of bread on a large scale is much less wasteful than making ii in the home oven. It is less wasteful for three reasons:
 First-Because 1t is possible with large masses of dough tt secure more complete chemica combinations, and therefore better bread.
 Second-Because it is poss ible in handling large quanti ties, to eliminate the smal wastes. No matter how care ful the housewife may be some dough will stick 10 he1 fingers, some will adhere tt the bread board; some flou will be scattered out of the pal and onto the table or floor, il sitting, and some waste, tLere fore, will occur. 1t will be min or, it is true, but will amour on the average to sometLin ikesan ounce of flour.

tions, are reduced again tc ounces so far as waste is con- oo,,,,oa. >"d converted into loouoS tbra,,oh "e of vast age made possible by larger handling.
 Third-Heat This element enters into the tremendous waste of homemade bread. It is physically impossible for the housewife to secure the economy of fuel in the home oven that is to be had in the larger ovens of the industrial bakeries. It Is not possible for the housewife to load her oven to a capacity proportionate to the heat employed. She must needs waste gas or wood or coal-which means fuel vast age-in heating the oven pre- paratory to putting in her bak- ing, and then must maintain heat sufficient to bake several more loaves of bread than her oven will accommodate in or der properly to cook it m commercla.ii institutions this item of heat wastage proved an enormous one and has been overcome by scientific con- struction of the ovens and the charging of the capacity in loaves.
 If the individual housewife will set down the items of cost in her home baking, including the flour and the potatoes and the yeast and the water and the labor, and then will make note of the time she lights the gas or the fire, and will com pute the cost of the fuel con. sumed, she will find that the homemade loaf costs her mucf more than the bakers loaf.
 This is not an argument fol baker bread. It is a plail statement of fact based on in
 quiries made by attaches O.

Washington, April 3.-Colonel
Roosevelt stopped off here today OH
his way home from Florida to call on
| President Wilson at the White House
and congratulate him on his address
to congress.
Colonel Roosevelt went to The main
door of the executive mansion where
he learned that the president had
gone over to his office. He told the
tween trains and wished to congrat-
ulate the president on his great state
paper" The colonel left his card and
departed without seeing the president.
Colonel Roosevelt, while standing
in the midst OF a great crowd in the
railroad station, dictated the follow
ing statement:
"The presidents message is a great
state paper which will rank in history
among the great state papers of
which Americans in future years will
be proud. 1t now rests with the peo-
in practice the policy the president
mas outlined and that we strike as
hard, as soon and as effectively as
possible in aggressive war against the
government of Germany. We must
send troops to the firing line as rap
idly as possible. Defensive war is
hopeless. We must by vigorous Of
fensive warfare win the right to have
our voice count for civilization and
justice when the time for peace
comes.

Washington, April 3-While Pres.
ident Wilson has indicated the benev.
client policy the government will pur-
sue toward Germans in this country
legal officers OF the administration
today directed attention to a law on
the statute books under which as
soon as congress declares war every
unnaturalized German male, four
teen years of age or over, may be
confined or removed as alien enemies.
Under the old Prussian- American
treaty of 1928, German citizens here
would be to an extent exempt from
the provisions of this law. The
United States, however, has refused
to accede to a proposal of the Berlin
government that the treaty be reaf-
firmed with changes and additions
and it is understood the document
will be declared abrogated if the con-
duct of Germans make such step
necessary.
State department officials revealed
Today that Germany recently replied
to the American note refusing to ac-
cept her proposal regarding the
treaty because of her disregard of
the canons of International courtesy
and her "clear violations of the
treaty itself. While no details were
given out it is understood that Ger
many denied that she had violated
the treaty and evidenced a desire 10
