HOT TIME IN CAL. AND ARR.
douglas internationally

Rev. Hubert L. Sparks, pastor of
the First Baptist church, returned yes
terday from Los Angeles, where he
spent a vacation of ten days, visiting
a brother whom he had not seer in 1S
years and a sister whom he last saw
IL years ago. 1t was pleasant expert
ence. With a friend he took a u out
to Venice, most wicked of Los Angeles
suburbs, took a trip on the roller
coaster, took a trip through the clouds
and did all the other stunts. He could
not swim because of a sore arm pro-
duced by vaccination, but got a chance
to risk one eye on the saucy bathing
suits the women are wearing now. A
few of them, he thought, were just a
little bit too shy of goods and the
wearers spent more time summing them
selves than in dipping themselves.
Mr.. Sparks had a warm trip by train
coming home and a hotter one on his
way to the sunny shore Of the Golden
State. When the train left Yuma in
the morning the thermometer was 10.
AS the day wore on the temperature
went up to 119, and it must have re-
minded Mr.. Sparks of some of his SER
mons on He'll. Where windows were
left open, the air came in off the desert
as from an oven. Accordingly, the
windows were all closed and the cleo
trio fans turned loose.

The famous saying, "Where in HI

when he received a telegram from

the completion of the Espee to that
city, may soon become a familiar ques-

naval academy. The navy depart
ment has been sending out a list of

NO TIME FOR EXPERIMENTS

No matter what the views of the
average American citizen on the
liquor question may be, he is quite LA
Bile TO applaud the stand of President
Wilson on the so-called "bone-dry"
provision Of the food bill forbidding
the manufacture of beer and light
wines. The bill did not forbid the
sale of hundreds of millions of gallons
of whisky now in government bonded
warehouses at highly inflated prices,
1t would have caused widespread re-
sentiment and discomfort by cutting the
laboring man Of the big cities from his
favorite beer and light wine. It was
not denied either that the bill would
have thrown several hundred thousand
honest workmen out Of employment.
would ave stopped hundreds of mill
lions Of federal revenue and would
nave badly disorganized the municipal
finances of thousands of small cities
by cutting off their excise taxes. One
of the ironies Of the situation was that
the %stoppage of beer and wine manu-
facture was asked so that the grain
could be shipped to the English and
French, who by the way are continu-
ing the brewing of beer and the fer
menting Of wine as usual. AS the bill
will stand. grain hitherto used in the
making Of distilled liquors will be
turned into food channels. As in the
past more than half Of the food vAhues
OF grains used in brewing will be re-
claimed when finally fed to dairy and
beef animals. The matter has shown
that just at present is a poor time for
experiments and extremists.

Ralph of the bureau Of engraving and
prn ting, by coincidence, called at the
same time today upon Secretary Me-
Adoo and were referred by him to AS
sistant Secretary Crosby, before whom
they discussed Miss Rankin's protest
against making women in the bureau
work overtime aa.inst their will. The
conference, Miss Rankin said at its
conclusion, was wholly unsatisfactory.
When she undertook to state her COM
plain. Director Ralph insisted that she
give him the names OF girls who COM
planned. This Miss Rankin declined to
do, intimating that they might be sub
jected to unfair treatment. Director
Ralph resented this implication and
left the meeting apparently angry.
Miss Rankin says that unless she is
given positive and public assurance
that complaining women shall not be
injured she will not disclose their
names and will take her case to the
floor OF the house and undertake to
have the matter Investigated by con-
greSS.

ing man could be heard through the

ness" she said. DR. Smith has been
attending him. beside two of the
nurses. His jaw is broken, beside the
fracture. and it is not likely that he
will live out the night"
Knocked Down on Track.
John McHood was not contestant
at the Stampede at the time of his
injury. He was struck and knocked
headlong by Men Lynch's horse at the
north end of the fair grounds track
during the first event of yesterdays
program. the cowboys saddle race.
Two other horses. close on the heels
Of Lynch's flying animal, trampled
over McHood's PROSTATE form as he
lay on the track.
Hurried to Hospital.
w. w. Hunter Of Misoula, who, with
his brother, has several horses at the
track, was one Of the witnesses to the
accident. With several other men he
rushed to McHood as soon as the
horses had passed. 1t was seen at
once that he was very seriously hurt.
A cowboy flung himself in the saddle
and made wild dash toward the
grandstand. where n call was made for
a physician.
Drs. Harrison and MCCULLOUGH re-
sponded and hurried to McHood's side.
They at once found that his jaw was
broken and also believed from a hastv
examination that his skull also had
been fractured. When they arrived,
the injured mans clothing was soaked
with blood and there was danger of
him choking from internal hemorrhage.
They treated him as best they might
and rushed him to the hospital In an
automobile.
Eyewitness Tells Story.
Mr.. Hunter described the accident
as follows:
"McHood and another man, a large.
heavy set man. started to cross the
track just as Sleepy Armstrong. Nep
Lynch and the other riders were COM
ing up the back stretch. They had
been at the corral on the inside of the
track and were crossing to go to the
horse barns. There were several sit :
ting on the fence on the outside of
the track when we saw the men start
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1917-07-04

across. We called to them 10 hurry
up. The large man did hurry and he
got across all right.
Refused to Hurry.
"McHood, however, Just grinned and
didn't hurry at all. Then the horses
rounded the curve and he saw them
almost on him. He made one jump
and thought he had got clear. But
the left flank of Eep's horse hit him
and knocked him 80 feet. Two other
riders were close behind. and before
they could pull up they had ridden
right over him.
Il couldn't see very well on account
Of the dust and l couldn't say posi-
lively that either of these horses
stepped on him but guess they must
have. the way he was smashed up, I
got to him before the dust had begun
to settle. and a bunch of us carried
him over to the side Of the, track and
sent for a doctor. That's all / can tell
about the affair." but if McHood had
hurried up like the other man did he
wouldn't have been hit"
First Fatal Injury.
Should the injuries suffered by Nc
Hood. whose home is In Roman, re-
suit In his death. it will be the first
fatality which has occurred in the
three years of Stampedes in Missoula.
Up to this time there have been no
serious injuries. The accident result :

thorough policing system for the track
