women aren't more careful in the Sc
lection of their hat pins.
GaItman is an usher at the Bijou
theater. In u letter to The Missoulian
he says that protruding hatpins worn
by women patrons of the theater fire.
quently threaten the eyesight of whole
crowds of movie fans. He thinks that
women should remove or cover their
hatpins when they are caught in
crowds.
Sunday evenings" he writes. I'VE
have very large crowds. l have noticed
ladies with protruding hatpins. 1t is
dangerous to everyone In the crowd
Perhaps they did not know that their
hatpins were protruding. Men and
women were standing on all sides and
If one Of these persons steps forward
or the lady would move. perhaps an
accident would occur.
Whenever l have noticed n pro-
truding hatpin have told the person
il could get to them. It is a hare
task to tell everyone. SO if you car
find space te tell the people it ma,
prevent a person from losing an ey,

WOULD EXPECT US. HELP.
Canadian Officer Thinks We
Should Send Troops in
Case of War.

Boston, Feb l9.--In the event Of the
declaration of war between the United
should send over some troops merely
for the psychological effect, in the
opinion OF Colonel }. l.. McAvity, COM
handing the Twentysixth New Bruins
wick infantry, now home on sick leave
to recruit a new regiment. or the
LOO odd officers and men who went
over with him in December. 1915, there
now remain Oh active duty but three
officers and 80 men.
Il believe in the United States army
and national guard, such as it is he
officers and a good personnel.
But in order to war in the highly
specialized way we have to on the
western front, you will need to develop
experts, of which l doubt ii you have
many. For example, every man in my
command was either an expert bomber
or an expert bayonet man. Every Of
ficcr has to pass examinations in all
three of these phases of attack, which
are, to all intents and purposes, all
the duty one gets as an infantrynan
in the trenches.
My own personal idea is that the
United States should call out such men
as it can teach with it's present in
),Structing force, give them training
Which would make fair soldiers of them
in case of Il nation wide call to arms,
and then retire them on call to civil
| life, calling out another batch for sim
| liar training. This would provide in
! time an army of men who could I'M
! dcrstand and obey commands, the frs,
requisite of military service, and a
| large civilian army which would make
the United States a power to be reck-

FATHERS OLD GUNS
Flintlock Taken From Indian
Warrior Shown With
Other Weapons.

An enlargement of the Oldest pho
tograph of Missoula now IN existence
is the center OF an interesting window
display arranged yesterday by w. Q.
Dickinson in his music store on HiS-
gins avenue. The photograph was TAX
on by w. II. II. Dickinson, the lncr-
chants father in 1876.
Only two buildings which 1917 Mis-
soulians will recognize are shown in
the old photograph. One is the Worden
home on East Pine street: the other is
the old Higgins house. which was torn
down last month by the Salvation
Army. The Wordcn house stood then
where 1t is now. but the Higgins home
was then on the corner Of Higgins
avenue and Main street 1t was moved
to Main and Pattee to make room for
the present Higgins block.
Prairie Where Railroad Is.
The Dickinson photograph was taxi
en- from Waterworks hill. II shows that
in 1875 all the land north of the Wor-
den house on Pine street and Adams
was open prairie The railroad had not
then been built. Indeed. the Worden
place stood all alone IN an open flat.
Nearest 1t was a little white chapel
on the site of the present Methodist
church.
Main street then showed some signs
OF being, but no streets and almost nc
buildings were north of It, North Hig-

The old Worden store, the seed of Mis-

old mill. which was torn down a few
years ago, at the north end. South O
the bridge was nothing. A road lead
ing straight toward the Bitter Root car

even a fenced field. The south sid'
was then all open prairie.

BUYING COUNTRY HOMES

Atlanta, Ga, May 24.-Buying a
country place and beating it far from
the city's maddening crowds is the
hunch which scores of Atlanta family
men are doing to combat the high
cost of food
Real estate men say small farms on
on the fringe Of the city. and further
out in reach of suburban cars are sell
ing faster than ever before The aver
age city man is not much of farmer
except in his own imagination. but he
can keep cow and raise chickens
and eggs. and cultivate vegetable
garden, when compelled by the force
of necessity. which is the mother of
adaptibility as wen as invention.
Others. still in town. have bought
small places and rented them to
tenants for what the tenants can
make, minus only stipulated supply
of milk and butter. eggs. chickens and
vegetables every week.
