by Department Of Justice agents.
While outrages at homes of men

Government men to believe they we're
part of a national plot of anarchists
IL was not until the arrest in Boston
of Roberta Ella. an alleged anarchist
that their assumptions were proved.
Ella Is alleged to have made CON
fession, which shows the explosions at
the church and the private residence
here were part of a plot of men whose
headquarters were In Boston.
While the Conspirators have not been
arrested, they are known to Government
men.
Besides the bombing in this and other
cities the night of June ., these men
are said TO have been responsible for
the blast outside the New York Sub
Treasury. which caused such terrible
loss of life and property.

to Director for Action
The resolution Of the Keystone Auto
mobile Club requesting that camping
site for touring automobiles be desis-
mated in Philadelphin has been referred
By Mayor Moore TO Director Caven for

Of the face that hundreds of thousands
Of tourists will come 10 this city for

II think the suggestion embodied in the
resolution relative to the camping
ground Is a good one. 1t will certainly
be necessary for the Sesqui- Centennial
Exposition"

Club for the suggestion.

DOROTHY HAGEN CHOSEN
DELEGATE TO BOZENAN
High Honor Conferred on High School
Student by SchoOlmates. Glasgow
Ladies Finance Trip.

AS has been their practice since 1916
the Glasgow Sun Flower Art Club and
the L. M. I. Study Club has assumed
the financial responsibility of sending
one of the Glasgow high school senior
girls to the Girls Vocational Congress
at Bozeman. This sixth conference
will be held at the State college on
November II, 1S and 10. The school
people appreciate the generosity of
the Club women in making this pos
sible from year to year. The selection
of the delegate is left to the school.
The school in turn limits it's choice
to senior girls who have superior
scholarship records and are capable of
bringing back to the Club women and
to the school satisfactory report of
the conference. To be selected as a
delegate is about the highest honor
that the school is able to confer upon
any senior girl, inasmuch as it is rec
ognition of versatility and school en-
thusiasm on the part of the person
selected. Another consideration OBJ
served in selecting the delegate is the
length of time the student has at
tended school in Glasgow. Dorothy
Hagan has spent eleven years in the
Glasgow city schools and meets all
other requirements set down for the
selection of delegates.

CLINIC FOR
GLASGOW CITY SCHOOLS

Miss Graber of the Extension De-
partment of the State College at Boze-
man spent two days in the Glasgow
city schools the past week conducting
a Nutrition Clinic for the children in
| the grades. A month ago Miss Graber
and Miss Erickson weighed all pupils
in the grades up to and including the
seventh grades. Students who were
found to be seven percent underweight
at that time have been placed in a
group for special study and attention
with the hope that the deficiency might
be overcome by change in diet or
habits of rest and recreation. This
week the record of each student was
graphed SO he could see graphically
what progress he had made. This
will be continued for the remaining
months of the year. Different colors
are used for indicating progress or the
lack of progress SO any parents in
terested in this experiment may see
the charts in the south side building in
the room used for the Clinic. This is
an important phase of school work as
there is frequently close relation be-
tween satisfactory school progress and
proper nutrition. The Glasgow school
people appreciate the assistance given
by the State College Extension depart
ment and the local Farm Bureau and
Home Demonstration specialists.
Glasgow is fortunate in being made
one of the laboratories where this new
problem is bein attacked in scientif-
ic manner.

WESTERN ROADS
TO SLASH WAGES
Great Northern and Other Western
Railroads Announced Immediate
Cut of Ten Per Cent.

Managers of the western group of
railroads met at Chicago Monday and
decided upon the immediate posting
OF notices of wage reductions of 10
per cent according to an announcement
Tuesday.
The roads represented at the meet
ing include the Santa Fe Great West
ern, Rock Island and Pacific, Union
Pacific, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern.
In the proposed cuts, all depart
ments would be affected and commit
tees were appointed to draft the no.
tices Immediately so that the roads
may go before the labor board and
ask an early hearing.
Following this meeting the National
Industrial Traffic league announced
that meetings would be held Wednes-
day and Thursday to ask the railroads
to press their claims for wage reduc-
tions on the basis of rate reductions
to shippers. The league represents
many of the important shippers of
the country.
Resolutions for presentation to roads
already have been drawn and include
three salient points:
That railroad wage scales be put on
a level corresponding with those of
other industries.
Abrogation Immediately of national
agreements, made effective during the
period of federal control.
The labor board has announced that
wage reductions will not be consid-
cred until after it has passed upon
working rules and schedules, but the
roads decided to press their wage re-
duction efforts so that they might be
brought to the attention Of the board
as early as possible, it was said.
Settlement of the threatened rail-
road strike, voted by the railroad
brotherhoods for October 80, followed
statement by the railroad labor board
that wage reductions would not be
passed upon until after questions re-
garding rules and working conditions
had been decided.
