SEARCH BEING MADE
 FOR WHISKY BURIED
 BY GENERAL CUSTER

BROADUS, Mont, March 3 (by As sociated Press) ).-Twenty-two barrels of whisky cached in 1874 by Gen eral Custer and General Reno, when they were pursued by Indians, is believed by M. c. Gilmore, 85, said to be Montana's oldest white resi- dent, to be buried somewhere near the fork of the Big Powder river and Cache creek, twenty miles from here.
 MT. Gilmore, who was a member of the party which buried the whisky, has been unable to locate the cache because, he thinks, the course of the the river and the creek have changed many times since 1874
 When the whisky was cached, Mir. Gilmore declared recently the sol diers buried it about four feet under the surface and then trampled down the soil
 A small brass cannon was de- stroyed near the cache at the same time. MT. Gilmore said that up to fifteen years ago pieces of the can- non remained near the forks.

 In the balanced" jury, he added all the points of view of matured per sons would be represented.

CARE OF HAIR IS IMPORTANT
Heat; Good Soap, Brush and Comb Necessary

To prevent the hair from splitting, here are a few things to remember, says the Woman's Home Companion. Avoid drying the hair quickly with artificial heat. Don't use hot curling irons too often. Consider carefully what soap you use. Never use one with drying qualities. See that your hair brush Is in good condition. Worn brlStleS and combs with broken teeth are one cause of split hairs. The best brush to use, whether your hair is dry, oily or normal, Is one not al- ways so easy to get. It has the bris- ties arranged in punches, with the middle bristles the longest. Don't brush your hair while 1t Is damp, and don't use too soft brush. For gen eral use have a brush with moderately stiff bristles. To give luster to the hair soft brush is all right but for daily cleansing use avoid it.

Pressinq Tucks.

To press tucks so they may look decorative and not have the usual tlattenpd appearance, stand the iron up on end and run the tucks over the iron, holding the material firmly be- tween the hands with the tucks run ming downward. In this way the material between and beneath the tucks will be pressed as well as the tuclIS.

that can be gained by the aid of one simple skirt. But that is no reason, surely, why the thing should be done badly and why the wrong blouse should be combined with the wrong skirt. The blouse, in other words, should be used to the full value of It's design and should never be allowed to be that thing which is just thrown on to make something that twill dO."

An Attractive Eur Collar.

The high collar of double furs is a novel idea for wrap coats. For in stance, the collar itself may be made of squirrel, and the lining imitation ermine. Wide cuffs to match should be turned back on the sleeves. These collars are large and picturesque. They can be muflled up round the face or laid fiat on the shoulders like cape.
