Who Calls Flrst2

Dear Cynthia--I have read your COL

am now taking the liberty TO ask
your advice on one OF my own problems.
Recently one Of my cousins has be-
come engaged 70 be married and we
have had quite a few arguments con-
Cerning the proper steps to take.
I have always thought that It was the
proper thing for the man to take his
intended bride to call upon his relatives
and introduce them. and not the place
Of the mans relatives to call first upon
his fianCee after the engagement has
been announced.
have met my cousins fiancee. but do
not know her very we'll and some Of
my relatives do not know her at all.
CARRIE l.. A.
when letters cam be answered in the
column Cynthia does not send personal
replies. The answer to your problem Is
very simple. When man becomes en-
gagged members OF his family should
always call on his fianCee and her
family. When n girl becomes engaged
she takes her fianCe to call on her
family. but his should always call on
her, and his family should invite her to
dinner after they have called.
II Is not good form to take a girl to
see 4 mans family until members Of
that family have called on her first.

WAR ON PREDATORY
BEASTS AND BIRDS

To stimulate interest in the Mon
tana Sportsmen's associations plan
for a campaign against predatory
birds and beasts, the sportsmen OF
Anaconda are arranging for teams
to work for this purpose. It is pro-
posed to give points for the various
birds or animals killed. The follow
ing is the tentative schedule:
Each maybe killed. five points;
each crow, five points: each sharp
skinned hawk 10 points; each badge,
IS points leach coyote, 100 points
each bobcat, 200 points: each wolf
500 points and each mountain lion
1000 points.
BY killing off the animals and
birds listed above, the state organiza-
ton believes there will be a material
increase in the number Of game
birds next autumn. 1t is we'll
known fact that the predatory ami
mails and birds named are great de-
stroyers of the game birds and
especially in the spring when they
find their nests and eat the eggs.

HIGHEST COMPENSATION
AWARD on RECORD
Miner Who Lost His Sight BY Pre-.

Road Work Will Take His Cash
and Go to Serbia: Will Have For.
tune of 228, 900 Dinars.

Sam Gerovich of Missoula, who
was blinded in both eyes by prema-
ture blast while engaged in road
work in Montana, will receive total
settlement of $4,000 from the state
accident board, the highest amount
ever paid under the Montana compen-
sation law in settling cases Of injur-
les to employees, according to Chair
man A. E. Spriggs.
The payment in cases of blindness
is based on the age of the injured
employee and his expectancy in life.
Gerovich is 26 years old. He went
to Helena to settle with the board.
He said that he is anxious to return
to his home in Serbia and the board
advanced him $4,000 with which to
pay all bills and also for transporta-
ton for himself and his brother from
this state to his home in Serbia.
At first he planned to have the
board give him q money order pay
able in Serbian money which he
would cash on his arrival in Serbia.
His father wrote him, however, that
the Serbian exchange. which is in
dinars, is low and that American
money speaks more loudly and with
more authority than any other cash
in Serbia.
AS a result Gerovich now plans ia
take a draft for American money
payable in his home town in Serbia
with him from Montana. At the
present rate of exchange when ht
presents his American cash for Ser
bian dinars he will receive 228,0O0
Mr.. Spriggs said.
The state accident board has one
other case Of total blindness which
will run higher than the settlement
in this case. It is the case of -
