lilies, father, mother, and
AA sometimes wee babies, live
in dugouts very similar to
those which sheltered our soldiers in
the thick of the fighting in France.
And the life of these families here in
America, especially of mothers and
children, is almost as difficult and
dangerous as that of the soldier boys.
These facts and stories of the life
of these present-day pioneers out
West, have just been made public by
the children's bureau. Homes seventy
to one hundred miles from a railroad,
without telephones, where trails are diff
ficult and good roads almost unknown,
are described in the report, which tells
Of the mothers and babies who suffer
unnecessarily and sometimes die be-
cause the nearest doctor may be fifty
or more miles away and there is no
public health nurse.
Many things are needed to bring
comfort and even safety to these fam
lilies. The first of these, according to
the children's bureau, is the public
health nurse. And the people of the
county studied agree with this recon-
mendation. Since the visit of the
agents of the children's bureau they
have sent this petition to their board
of county commissioners:
1--WE earnestly petition the board
that they appoint county nurse whose
services shall be given to the western
half of 49, county. The legislature of
1917, by the enactment of the child
welfare law, empowered you to make
this appointment. Because of the war,
physicians were called to the service
Of their country and large sections of
the county are left without medical at
ention, which will render the services
of a nurse more necessary than be-
fore in giving health supervision to
school children, and protecting the
health of the community from infec-
tious diseases"
With such nurse, who could make
her rounds by automobile, the lives of
the people of the district would be
much safer.
Isolated Homes in Montana.
So isolated are many of the settlers
at present that illness and even death
may find them alone and without the
possibility of securing help Especial
ly dangerous is the occupation of moth
er out in this pioneer country. At
present, because of the bad roads and
great distances and also because of the
expense, mother after mother has no
doctor and no nurse at the time when
her babies are born. She goes through
her fight for life-a fight as big and as
important as that of soldier on the
battleheld-in the crude surroundings
of her dugout of mud and wood, or her
taxpayer" shack, sod or gumbo-clay
house, without help or only with the
help of an unframed member of the
family or of n neighbor.
For doctor is q luxury to the pi-
oneers of Montana and almost impOssi-
BILE to get. In all the district of $500
square, miles studied by the bureau
there was not single hospital. only
three registered physicians, and not
one public health or travelling nurse.

COUNTY COUNCIL
FINAL COURT ON
ROAD BUILDING
LegaIize Action of Governor in
Borrowing to Support
Defense Council.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 27.-After
three hours of debate on proposed
amendments. the state senate sent
to engrossment the bill making
county units for taxation FOR road
improvements. The Beardsley am
endment providing that on petition
OF one hundred free holders the
county commissioners should lay out
highway plan subject TO the ap-
prevail of a popular vote was de-
feated after much discussion by a
vote of IL 10 80. In it's stead the
senate adopted a proposal by Sen.
DObyns. author of the bill, to give
county councils final jurisdiction in
deciding whether a proposed high
way was a public utility" and as
such should be built. This was to
safeguard the original bill which
provided that on petition of fifty
free holders the county commission
ers should order a highway con-
structed.
A motion by Sen. Duffy TO amend
the bill TO limit bond issues TO two
per cent of the assessed valuation
Of any county instead of four per
cent. was defeated IS 20 %. On mo-
ton of Sen. Mckinley the senate
amended the bill 10 provide that the
commissioners may instead of
shall" construct road on the pc
titiOn of fifty property owners. An
amendment offered by Sen. Van
Auken, removing all doubt as to the
possibility of using limestone, crush
ed rock, gravel and furnace Stag in
constructing roads was carried thirty
to come The senate also amended
the bill TO provide that the commits
sioners shall let separate contracts
fer bridges having a span of twenty
or more feet that county commits
sioners shall have control Of repair
ing all roads when costs do not ex-
coed $4,000; increasing the $4,000
limit: that county commissioners
shall receive their expenses incurr-
ed in the work; and that there is no
limit specified as TO the daily wage
OF the road inspectors.

stitutional rules were suspended and

NO FURTHER
 ACTIVITY IN STACY CASE

Burlington, Vt, Aug. 2S-Follow- ing a conference between Attorney General L. c. Archibald and pr. c. F. Whitney, of the state laboratory this morning, it became. practically certain that no further activity would result in the Stacy shooting as the authorities appear to be convinc- ed from the result of the autopsy that the wounds were self-inficted and the dead man was a suicide.
 No one in authority would be quoted as willing to advance such a finding but from the general aspects of the case today and the attitude found among both local and state of ficials, there appears but little doubt that the final finding will agree with that of Medical Examiner Ravey in his decision that MT Stacy shot him. self while sitting on the floor of his dining room Sunday night. At this time there is no way of accounting for the many unusual developments in the case but 1t is believed that eventually many facts now consider ed a mystery will be explained.
