Mrs. Hughes, the chapter chairman
sends the following directions:
Socks should not be longer than IA
inches in leg and should not be knit II
inches in foot before washing and should
measure about II inches after washing
When yarn is broken off at the toe, it
should be run lengthwise in the sock for
about inches If you desire to finish
with the kitchener toe which is the most
comfortable to wear and it seems too diff
cult for you to do, run the stitches off on
a white cord leaving about yard of yarn
broken off and we will toe them off here
Have "a stitches on needles that is IL on
each needle. We only recommend doing
this when it il hard for your knitters to
make smooth toe.
Impress upon your knitters that the
next two weeks should be used in getting
all the socks that is possible. They are
needed more than anything else now.

WANT NAMES OF ALL
VOLUNTEERS IN SERVICE

| To secure a complete list of
Montana men who have entered
the various branches of military
and naval service, the publicity
and labor committee of the state
council of defense has asked the
county council of defense in this
county to secure the names of all
volunteers as we'll as the names
and address of their immediate
relatives. The county council of
this county has secured from the
local draft board the names of all
selected men and their nearest
relative or relatives, but the task
of securing the names of the vol
unteers from Montana is a hard
one and everyone is asked to CO.
operate with the council of de-
fenSe.
No such list exists in Montana
today and Identification of soldiers
and sailors is difficult. The idea
that such list should be kept in
each county and in the state capi- |
tol originated in Helena where
the commercial club there has a
big roll of honor board containing
the names of every heroic boy
form Lewis and Clark County.
Such a list is now desired from
every county by the committee of
the state council of defense hay
ing the matter in charge.
Relatives and friends of boys
who volunteered from this county
should send in the names of these
soldiers and sailors at once, in
the names and addresses
of the nearest relative or relatives.
These should be mailed at once to
C. A. Thurston, of the Dawson

WALSH IS CHOICE
OF PRESIDENT WILSON

! Washington, July 24-(Special)
Official Washington waited with
some concern the announcement
of Senator Walsh's candidacy for
reelection. 1t was feared by some
| in the confidence of the admins
tration that he might choose to
retire, and in that event President
Wilson was prepared to use his
influence to induce him to become
a candidate, just as he did the
other day in the case of Senator
Lewis of Illinois.
Senator. Walsh is the administra-
ton candidate for the United
States senate in Montana. Presi-
dent Wilson desires his reelection
as ardently as he does that of Sen
-ator Lewis in Illinois, Henry Ford
in Michigan and William ]. Harris
in Georgia. At the proper time
the President will, if he deems it
necessary, make his wishes known
unmistakably.
No senator is regarded more
highly at the White House than
Senator Walsh, and for very good
reasons. He is considered the
ablest lawyer in the senate, and
has more than once been the
spokesman for the administration
on questions involving internation-
al law. His notable speeches in
the senate on the right to purchase
belligerent ships and the right to
arm merchantmen for defense
were the authoritative expression
of the government on these vexed
questions, and they not only won
for Senator Walsh the personal
admiration and thanks of Presi-
dent Wilson but gave him high |
rank asan international statesman.
Senator Walsh has been, more
over, one of the most vigorous
in the senate OF the
administrations war policy. He
voted for war and for everything |
which the President has requested
for its prosecution. At a time
when many senators faltered and
drew down upon themselves the
hot Wilsonian wrath, the Montana
has stood pillar of
loyalty and devotion.
tits recalled, too, that senator
Walsh managed President Wilson's
campaign in the west from the
Chicago headquarters in 1916, and
naturally the White House is more
han ordinarily interested in the
political fortunes of the man who
vas largely responsible for that
memorable result.

Lutherans Hold Meeting

The two day meeting of tht
Glendive Circuit of the Lutheran
Church which was held at Circle
last Sunday and Monday was wei
attended, especially the Sunday
services when fully one hundred
and fifty people were present,
/ The visiting pastors were the
Rt. Rev. Skindlov Of Spokane
Wash, Rev. 0. B. Tufte Of Glen
dive and Rev. Olaf Carlson ol
Fairview, all of whom took part
in the services together with Rev
Graydal, the local pastor. Many
interesting and impressive SER
mons were delivered during the
two day session.
Sunday noon the Lutheran
Ladies Aid served big free din
ner to the the visiting guests
many of whom were from Deer,
Sullivan, Correl and Cow creek,
neighborhoods.
Dedication of the Lutheran
church basement took place Sun
day afternoon, and at the same
time a surprise was sprung OIL the
local pastor and his wife by pre-
senting them with the snug little
sum of $121.50, in appreciation of
their faithful work. This gift was
given to them by the men,
bers of the Circle, Deer creek,
Sullivan and Correl creek congre-
cations that are served by Rev.
Gravdal. Needless to say it was
a real surprise, and a gift that
was highly appreciated.
The meetings OH Monday were
attended. Next Circuit
meeting will be held at Four Mile
near Fairview some time in Octo-
Der and no doubt Circle will be

Ventilate the Cars!

"The ventilators of this car must be
kept openw That sign appears in
every street car in the District, and
yet in many Of the cars in operation it
is ignored. Car after car runs over
the lines, packed to the doors, with
no open windows or ventilators, the
air foul to the point of asphyxiation.
The rule for open ventilators has
been issued as means of preventing
the spread of dangerous infective
disease. It is carried by the air and is
especially likely to be communicated
in a crowd. Rare is the Washington
street car that is not crowded, and
these vehicles are recognized as cen
tiers Of possible infection.
Enforcement of the rule is jmpera-
tive if the community is to be pro-
tected from the influenza, which is
rising in prevalence again at distress
ing rate. The fact that the outside
air is chilly does not warrant the tight
closing of all ventilating means. Cool
air is not as dangerous as foul air.
Conductors should be especially in
structed by the companies to see that
the ventilators are kept open through
out the day. Better still, means should
be adopted to fasten them open so
that they cannot be closed by persons
Who do not appreciate the danger of
bad air in the cars. The presence of
the printed order in tightly sealed
car is mockery. The closed venti-
lators are direct menace to the health
of every passenger.

stitution defines q quorum As 3 ma
jofity Of each house and provides
that each house may fx tho rules Of
its proceedings, and the House and
Senate having adopted the rule that
two-thirds Of the House and Senate
means two.thirds Of quorum present
and voting, the Constitution has been
fully complied with when resolution
is adopted proposing an amendment
by two-thirds Of quorum.
When the Supreme Court comes to
act upon the Kansas case under the
Webb Kenyon act this point will be
definitely settled. If it should rule
that two-thirds of a quorum sufices
for the passage Of bill over a>veto
its ruling will unquestionably cover
the case of a constitutional amend
ment, and thus confirm the submission
Of the prohibition amendment to the
states. If, on the other hand, it rules
that two.thirds Of quorum does not
meet the constitutional requirement all
the proceedings for the submission OF
the prohibition amendment to the
states fail and the work must be re-
newed from the beginning. Congress
sional precedents have always regarded
the vote of thirds Of those present
and voting, quorum being present, as
suficing for all two-thirds votes, in
Guiding those cast for the submission
of amendments to the Constitution.
The Supreme Court, however, has not

An Extra Session.

Should there be an extra session of
| the Sixtysixth Congresss
Those who take the affirmative point
out two things. First, the desirable
ness of organizing that body as soon
as possible. A contest for the speaker
ship of the House is on the card, and
as that is decided 50 will be some i'm
portant committee chairmanships. Not
that there is any trading in progress
or in prospect, but that, in the nature
of things, if the speakership goes east,
the west and the middle country will
be entitled to compensating recogni-
ton in other things, and vice versa.
About matters of such great impor-
lance as bearing on probable 1egisla-
ton the country should not be kept
waiting.
The work of that Congress will be
heavy. The routine will include the
supply bills. which will carry large
sums, and. therefore, should be care
! fully prepared and thoroughly debated,
and then will come questions relating
to reconstruction, which may be nu-
merous. and certainly will command
close attention. Hence, it is plain that
if the new Congress does not begin
work until December of next year, it
cannot hope to complete its labors be.
fore the meeting-time Of the next ma
tional conventions. The task will be
too great.
The President, of course, will decide
the question, and may be expected to
consider it somewhat from the politi-
cal point of view. There is politics in
it; and he plays the game diligently.
As The Star stated the other day, he
is likely to return home bit tagged.
He will hold more conferences while
abroad during a short stay than he
has held at home during his whole six
years in the White House. Here, he
can see persons or not, as he chooses;
and he seems not to desire to see many.
But cover there" he has business with
a good many, and wants to see them
all. And when not in conference he
will be travelling, and the object wher-
ever he goes of much attention. IF he
is not jaded at the close he will have
reason to thank his stars.
When Congress is in session the
President keeps his EYE on the gun,
and often has his say before measures
IRE presented to him for his signature.
The next Congress, it is true, will be
republican, but his friends, although
in the minority, may need his counsel
more than ever. So that should he call
an extra session for early spring he
will provide a good deal of work for
himself before altogether recovering
from his journey and experience
abroad.
