ORATORS To THE FRONT.

There are urgent requests in
the neighboring communities of
western Montana for speakers on
the issue of the war.
We know how these people feel
for we have a similar desire. The
meeting of Dan Reed did more to
arouse the right war spirit in
Missoula than anything that we
can conceive and it is a pity that
we have had no more such meet
ings and speakers of Mr.. Reeds
kind. II would seem the duty of
the bureau of information at
Washington to supply this need,
especially when we think OF the
great mass Of war press stuff
that reaches our office daily and
which would require several adj
ditional pages Of The Muscular,
II we printed all of it.
We think, though that an easy
way may be found TO help our
neighbors who are hungry for
war stuff, il the lawyers, clergy
men and university professors of
our Montana cities will lend their
aid. Let the four-minute men get
out On the firing line, talk war
patriotism, Liberty bonds and
Red Cross TO the people who arc
yearning to hear them and thus
eounteract in great measure, the
work Of the agitator who still
says that this war was made by
the profitecrs for their own bene-
fiji. NE

LAST CALL TO THE WOMEN.

There ore some women in Mis-
sOula- who think the franchise
was given to them as sort Of
toy. that they can play with until
they get tired and then put it
away until the fancy comes to re-
sumo the diversion. AT, least that
is the conclusion that we draw
from the lack of interest of our
women in putting one OF their
number on the school board.
We need hardly rehearse the
reasons why the board should in
cludc o woman, a mother, espe-
cially whose interest in the
schools is closely. related to that
Of her home. The argument is
as plain as the noon-day sun.
At eight o'clock tonight q meet
ing of men and women will be
held at the rooms Of the Y. w. G,
A. to nominate a woman for one
of the two vacancies on the
board, 10 be filled at the election
next week. No urging Of attend
ance should be necessary. The
purpose calls for the heartiest in
terest and enthusiasm and if our
women neglect this opportunity
they should not complain in the
future, If the board is not to their
liking or is oblivious to their
criticisms.
There can be no real progress
of the community unless each
citizen carries his or her share
Of the responsibility.

Draft Farm laboe
Among Ways, Says Y. 3.

1.-THE best way to draft farm labor
Is for you to amend your vagrancy law
SO as to include within its terms every
ble.bodied man who does not do six
days work each week." says an appeal
from the government which was re.
ceived In Missoula yesterday.
States and counties and towns tho
country over are determining that this
is not time, nor theirs q place, for
the federation of idlers," the statement
continues. For instance, q few weeks
ago the sheriff of Grayson county.
Texas. a thickly populated and high.
ly productive agricultural section. an
nounced in the Sherman papers and
by posted proclamations that every
man must go to work. The sheriff
didn't wait for the state legislature
to enact new laws. The old ones arc
strong enough for him. Go to work
or go to JAIL he said crisply. NO man
will be allowed to loaf around this town
or in this county,. because we are at q
point where every mans labor IL sc.
riously needed. for the farms"

Locating Bullets by Telephone

The telephone is now being used in
military hospitals to complete the
work of the x-ray in locating bullets
and shell fragments deeply Embedded
in the flesh of wounded soldiers. The
body Of the patient furnishes the mag
netic current for the operation.
The apparatus consists Of head
piece with two receivers. which fit over
the surgeons ears. One of the wires
leading from the receivers terminates
in a carbon electrode, the other in a
fine probing needle. The carbon is
PLACID in the patients mouth. and the
needle gently inserted in the flesh
where the X-ray has shown the frag-
ment to be. Tho probe touches bone,
but no response comes over the wire.
It goes deeper and brings up against

Here Is Why Cinnamon
Have No Hair on Face.

Most Of US have wondered why the
Chinaman, in distinction from other
men, does not grow a beard. or
course. some members of the race who
belong to the male persuasion are ex-
ceptions to the rule. But the great
majority Of Cinnamon have no hair
upon the face. DIR. A. NJ. Dunlap of
Shanghai, who has given considerable
time to the subject. holds that the old
Chinese custom of wearing queues con-
sumed all OF the energy provided by
nature for the raising of hair. And
row that the queue Is out of fashion in
China Dr. Dunlap thinks that boards
may begin to grow. Writing In an
American medical journal Of recent
date. he tells some very interesting
things about the Chinese barber, the
styles in hair, etc.
THE nationwide cutting off Of the
Manchu invention--the queue--has
created a new class of modern BARRIERS.

of old China has passed, with his
practices. which remind us Of those Of
occidental BARRIERS of ancient times.
Even In as enlightened a city as
Shanghai they are constantly to be

To-day these old men can be seen

hard stool and the barber proceeds to
lather the front part of his scalp and
to shave it. down to the ears. The
scalp finished. the face Is shaved, or
rather passed over with the razor, as
the growth on the average Chinese
face is exceedingly scant.
Just as our BARRIERS ask IL we will
have a shampoo, the Chinese wishes to
know il his customer will have his
ears shaved. I have been unable to
find out how and why this practice
started, but apparently it is very old,
since it is followed by practically all
the oriental races.
Muscular treatment forms another
important function OF the barber. AS

THE HUNS PROGRESS.

The great German offensive
moves onward, though not SO
rapidly and obviously encounter
Ing more difficulties. 1t has not
been stopped and it may continue
several days, or until the allies
have. closed their lines for stand
ut a-chosen location. That is our
reading of conditions from the
news bulletins.
We recall the advance OF Won
sKluck across the Aisne, toward
Paris, sweeping everything like a
torrent with the French retiring,
giving battle as they went and
inflicting tremendous losses. The
French government had left Paris
for Bordeaux in anticipation Of
the capture Of the city.
When the Germans were with
in thirty miles of the French
capital, Joffre paused and sent
Che famous order to his army:
6tanQ or die.
We know what followed. The
next order was from Won Kluck
to his army:
'Foch has pierced our center.
Retire."
With that order came the last
chapter of the battle Of the
Marine. The Germans moved
backward for sixty miles and are
now fighting in the very territory
they abandoned.
When we recall the difference
in the strength OF the allied
armies Of three years and eight
months ago and of these armies
today, we are not at all disheart-
ened.
At the right hour and the
chosen place, the Hun will be
brought up standing and his gaze
thenceforth will be turned to-
ward the east.

"cANNEo EGGS" COMING.

Experiments in canning eggs have
been conducted by a large poultry
dealer with such success that it is now
proposed to develop the process COM
mercially, asserts Popular Mechanics.
Six fresh eggs are broken into a can.
which is then sealed and placed in
steam, where the contents are cooked
inrthe same manner as canned corn or
peas. 1t is said the process keeps the
eggs fresh and fit indefinitely, and on
being opened the coagulated mass can
be sliced and served like meat roll.
A proposed variation of this method
is to place each egg in the can in a
parchment wrapping SO that 1t can be
removed separately when the con-
taiper Is opened.
