APPARATUS FOR
 RADIO TELEPHONE
 IN THE FORESTS
Montana Planning To Use the Radio-Phone for the Purpose of Fire Fight
 ing in Forests

MISSOULA, Mont, June 6.-Plans for the installation of apparatus for the use of radio communication and wireless telephony in the forests of district No. 1 for firefighting work during the present season, are to be considered at Washington in con ference for which R. B. Adams, tele- phone engineer of the forest service with headquarters here, has been summoned to the, capital.
 The feasibility of establishing sev- eral wireless telephone stations in the national forests of Montana and northern Idaho is to be investigated, according to announcement from dis trict headquarters of the forest ser vice here, and it is expected that equipment for two stations in each state will be obtained immediately for the demonstration purposes dur ing the coming field season.
 It is not contemplated that wireless telephony will entirely supplant the system now in use, the statement says, at least for some time to come The plan is to make wireless commu- nication supplemental to the existing system and to use it in connection with the lines installed. It is in the rough, mountainous sections of the country. where ordinary telephone. line construction is difficult and ex pensive, the announcement says, that the wireless will be tried out first. It is declared to be the confident be- lief of forest service officials in Mis- soula that another year will see air planes and wireless telephony defin- ately adopted as parts of the forest nrotective system.

 Never have women had a wider choice in style and line than in the instance of this years party" dress es. While street and day clothes show much divergence of style the evening gown runs the whole gamut from skirts so tight they must be slit for dancing to hoops and crino- lines.
 If the number of formal costumes is limited one of the fin between" kind is worth thinking about. Such a one I have had sketched for to- day because of it's beauty, economy and usefulness.
 While this dress carries out the idea of wide hips it is not bouffant

 Made with Foundation of black satin, the skirt has plain full over skirt of Chantilly lace accentuated at the hip line by means of cascaded side panels. The bodice is nothing more elaborate than tight-fitting folds of the satin held in place by narrow shoulder straps of the same.
 The little touch that makes this dress individual is the bunch of os- trich tips caught at the right side. The original model was trimmed with tips of brilliant Chinese blue. while a feather fan of the same color was an integral part of the dress.
