VICT0RS IN HAVRE
District Judge Makes Permanent
Temporary Injunctions Against
City Officials.

Havre, Dec. 24.-District Judge w.
B. Rhoades has made permanent the
temporary Injunction granted Decem-
Der 18, enjoining the school board, city
officials and board of health of Havre
from preventing Marshall Pailthrope
from attending school. The same
general testimony was given as in the
Lyric theatre last before the court
Wednesday Of last week when a re-
straining order was granted the plain
tiff to prevent an officer being placed
in the lobby of the theater to collect
health certificates from patrons.
George Hurd, of the firm of Norris,
Hurd & Hauge, made the argument
and examined the witnesses for the
petitioner and City Attorney Rose rep
resented the board of health. After
the argument and the taking of testi-
mony were concluded, Judge Rhoades
made the order for a permanent in
junction without comment.
The latest court proceedings prob
ably close the certificate incident in
Havre so far as the schools or picture
shows are concerned. Children are
now being admitted to school without
incubation certificates and patrons Of
both theaters are admitted without be-
ing stopped at the door by an officer
and required to produce a "health GER
~tificate."
The influenza epidemic is now al
most a thing Of the past in Havre as
only a few more cases were reported
the last five or six days and only
few houses Of the city are still under
quarantine.

THOSE RIBBONS
and BADGES

The Montana boys who have been
fighting in France will soon be COM
ing home. Some Of them will be
wearing medals and decorations.
How many people in the state are
there who will be able to tell at a
glance what any particular medal or
service ribbon stands for? 1t is sa1e
to say that there are very few VINO
can do 50.
Does that ribbon with green in 1t
NEAR the Croix de Guerre given by
France or service on the Mexican
border?
What does the distinguished SER
vice medal look like?
How can you tell the difference be-
tween wound stripes and service
stripes?
Nobody wants to mistake a French
war cross for the badge worn by a
sharpshooter OF to say that a soldier
is in the infantry when he wears q
gray hat cord, when in reality the
hat cord denotes that the man is in
the tank corps.
Perhaps the questions asked most
now that many of u heroes have
come home, for a time at least, are
about wound and service stripes
The army's chevrons for six months
foreign service and for a wound are
just alike, a V-shaped gold stripe
for each six months of service, OF fol
each wound. The difference is that
the service stripes are worn on the
left sleeves just above the cuff, thu
wound stripes on the right. There
is also a chevron of light blue fol
less than six months of foreign ser.
vice.
Another subject of inexhaustible
completely is that of decorations anc
interest and well-night inexhaustible
ribbons of various kinds. The diff.
ficulty is simply that there are sc
many of them. W. see many SOL
diers with ribbon bars nowadays
Here are the meaning Of those in
which we are most interested:
The distinguished service cross is
awarded by the president "to any
person who since April s, 1917, has
distinguished himself Or herself by
extraordinary heroism in connection
with direct military operations" Il
is a bronze cross, bearing an eagle
It's ribbon is of red, white and blue
a wide blue center, a narrow white
stripe on each side, a wider rec
stripe at each end.
The distinguished service medal
a round bronze medal bearing tn
eagle, is awarded by the presiden
"to any person who has distinguishes
himself or herself by exceptional,
meritorious service in a duty of grea
responsibility in time of war;" 1t

Of SALOONS
RECALLS PIONEER DAYS
Picturesque Institutions Of the West
Will Close Down Mon
day Night.

Helena, Dec. 24.-State wide pro-
hibition goes into effect in Montana
at midnight of December 80. With
the passing of the saloon there will
disappear one Of the picturesque in
stitutions of the west. At one time
the saloon was an important feature in
the social life of the hardy pioneers
Of the Treasure state.
In the early days when men we're
blazing the western trails, the saloon
followed them and, as a rule, was
among the first industries to set up
and transact business in the commu-
nifty. With a canvas top and a board
bridging two boxes for a bar, hospi-
tally at so much a drink was dis
pensed to the argonauts.
AS communities prospered TIE own
err of the saloon, or "half way house"
waxed prosperous in proportion. The
barkeeper's was a strenuous life, for
those who sought the cheer he dis
pensed included miners, cowboys, In
dian fighters, cattlemen, sheepmen, thu
renegade and the ne'er do we'll. Re-
v~olvers more often than not, were the
arbiters of disputes. The barkeep-
ers armament lay on the bar within
handy reach and in full sight of the
perhaps too ebullient customer tt
remind him that there were limits
within which he must confine his cele.
bration.
Cowpunchers, after months on the
prairies looking after cattle, free Of
restraint and their pockets full Of
money, rode into town scarcely dis
cernable in a cloud of dust, punctuat'
ed with the flash of fire and the re-
port of r%evolvers. Like a tornado they
swirled up to the front of the saloon
refined their ponies back on theil
launches and sometimes rode il
through the swinging doors. Thes'
were profitable days for the barkeep
err, but he needs must be a diploma
if his place remained intact.
Hard on the heels of the salool
came the gambler with his tools o
trade. Then followed the dance hal
adjunct which brought with it tn
"orchestra," such as it was, or tn
automatic musical machines. Al
were part and parcel of the saloon.
Some Of the modern saloons in tn

tions. Until a few years ago Butt

ribbon has a wide center, not so wide
as the center of the ribbon OF the
d. s. c., with a narrow blue stripe
on each side, and wider red stripes
at the ends. These, like the wound
and service chevrons, are rewards
authorized by the president for SER
vice in the present war.
The ribbon of the French war
cross, which many young Americans
have won during the war, is red and
green-a green ground with five
equidistant red stripes.
The badge for service on the Mex
lean border has a wide green center,
thanked by harrow stripes Of blue;
on each side of these r slightly
wider stripes Of yellow; the ends are
narrow stripes Of green. The badge
for foreign service has, as its center,
a narrow stripe Of buff, then on each
side a stripe of red, then n of
white with ends of light blue.
These are a few out of many cam
paign ribbons and badges Of merit,
service or heroism.
Each branch of the army service
has its special cord for the campaign
hat or nondommissioned offer OF
enlisted man. The infantry is gray
blue; cavalry, yellow; artillery, red
aviation, green and black; ordnance
red and black; tanks, clear gray
commissary, green; police reserve
green and white; machine gun, dull
blue with a red ~tassel; quartermaste1
corps, buff; engineers red and white
signal corps, orange and white; chem

cadets, gray and black; chaplain
black; officers training corps, red

THIRD BOAT in SDAYS

Tanker Gulfland Newest YES
sci in Rush Work at N. Y.
Shipyard

The third launching in eight days at
the New York Shipbuilding Company
yard, Camden, was that of the 1850
ton oil tank steamship Gulfland this
afternoon. Immediately workmen start
ed the laying of another keel, which
will be in place before midnight.
This speeding-up work at the New
York Shipyard has put 10000 tons of
shipping into the water in little moro
than week. The other boats launched
were the Margaret Stone, 5000 tons,
which left the ways last Saturday. and
the Mineola. 1000 tons. which took to
the water last Thursday
The Gulfland Is a 7250-tou boat, 400
feet long, 81 feet beam and 80 feet .
inches deep. 1t will have a speed of
11is knots an hour.
The Gulflands sponsor was Mrs. NJ.
Walker. wife of an official of the Gulf
Refining Company, for which the vessel
was built The launching was Wit
messed only by officials of the refining
and the shipbuilding companies. Cow
ernment regulations require that launch
ings shall be private.
II Is likely that the three ships
launched in Camden will be taken over
by the Government, although there has
been no official announcement that all
Of them will be taken.
