FEDERAL ROAD AID
 IS SAVING MILLIONS

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Millions of dollars were saved to an Arkansas community in which a federal-aid road had been completed just before the Mississippi River overfIowed it's bank and the flood began it's course of dew astation, according to the Department of Agriculture.
 During high water in the Missis- sippi word came to Helena, Arkansas, that the levee at Old Town, several miles away, was about to break. The situation was critical, and delay of few hours meant the flooding of thous- ands of acres of rich farming land and endangering of lives. A small army fully equipped with tools and material was required to meet the emergency, and Helena was the only source of aid.
 Every available motor vehicle was pressed into service and more than 600 men, properly equipped for the work, were speeding in short time over the new road to save the levee
 "They arrived in the nick of time," said the department, land by almost superhuman efforts damned back the rising water. Had it been necessary to make the trip over the old road the levee could not have been reached in time and the workers would have needed boats rather than motor ve- hicles."

creasing proportions of divorcees re- marrying we do not find that they are first choice of either brides or grooms. When divorced persons remarry first choice is for a single partner, second for a divorcee and third for widowed. The tendency among divorcees to marry single persons is much more pronounced among brides than grooms.
 Single persons prefer single first, divorcees second and widowed third, the order of choice being the same as for divorced persons, although the percentages vary.
 Among widowed persons the order of choice is single first, widowed sec ond and divorcees third, but among the grooms the widows are about as popular as single girls. Widows, how ever, show a very marked preference for single men,"

LONDON June 17.-Europe rebuilt by Europe's standing armies-that is the plan that has been suggested to the League of Nations by Major A. D. Seventh Battalion Canadian Railway Troops and now director of a steel corporation England.
 Major Watts declares that the standing armies of Europe are vast ing a tremendous energy in maneu- vers and drills and that if these armies were given the constructive task of rebuilding war-torn Europe the economical loss could be almost wiped out.
 q cannot see disarmament ap- proaching," Major Watts said. ''The European nations must maintain small defensice armies, and if so, why should not those armies be used to increase the national wealth instead of being a burden?
 "It would not interfere with indus try, because work on ports, harbors and forests that would be undertaken is work that no one else can afford to do.

"CRASS" WIDOWS LEAD IN RACE FOR HUSBANDS

SACRAMENTO, June 17-Widows and grass-widows are rapidly gaining ground on the single girls of Cali fOrnia in the race to the marriage altar, according to statistics made pub lie today by L. E. Ross, chief of the State Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Board of Health.
 Of special significance is the fact that divorcees are far outdistanclng their widowed rivals and are steadily creeping up on the single contenders in the marriage mart.
 During the last two years 75 per cent of all persons marrying were single, 11:5 per cent were widowed and 13.5 per cent were divorced Eff teen years ago the percentage of single was S5, widowed 9 and divorced 6. Re- marriage by divorcees has made rapid, consistent gain year after year, Ross's report states.
 Rosss report in this respect reads as follows:
 "A study of the marriage statis- tics indicates that there is a gradual, steady change in the proportions of single, widowed and divorced persons marrying in California. The per cent age of single persons is decreasing, and the proportion of widowed and divorced is increasing; that is, while the total number is increasing as the population grows, the widows and di- vorced are gaining ground faster than the singles.
 WIDOWS SHOW GAIN
 During the last two years about 75 per cent of all persons marrying were single; 11.5 per cent were wid- owed and 13.5 per cent were divorced. Fifteen years ago the percentage of singles was S5; widowed, 9 and di- vorced, 6. Remarriage by divorcees has made rapid, consistent gains year after year. The widowed have also advanced, but less rapidly than the divorced

and there is room for great develop ment in hydro-electric power. "
 "There is no reason, too, why her potash deposits should not be better worked"
 Major Watts does not believe the military value of the standing armies would be lessened by their being used for constructive purposes, and he pro- poses that all troops shall have at least two months of intensive mili- tary training each year.
 The armies would develop a high technical efficiency by undertaking re- construction work, Major Watts de- clared, and he pointed out that the World War was really an engineers war and per cent of the time of the armies was spent in engineering pro- jects.
 The plan, which has been submit ted to the League of Nations by Major Watts, provides that the va rious nations shall finance such pub lie works of reconstruction as they shall be able to finance and that the League of Nations shall finance other projects which will work to the ad- vantage of international trade.
 Let us make our armies assets in- stead of liabilities" said Major Watts.

i'm Great Falls.

Butte. Aug. 30.-(By The Associated
Press. )-Testimony regarding attacks
in Billings on shopmen employed by
the Northern Pacific at Laurel was
given Wednesday at the hearing before
Judge Bourquin on petition of the rail-
road for a permanent Injunction re-
straining striking shopmen from inter

HELENA MEN OFFER
AID IN MAKING FAIR
FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Assure State Department That
Active Ticket Selling Cam
paign Will Be Started.
(Tribuue's Helena Bureau

Helena. Aug. 30.-Helena business
will get behind the state department
of agriculture in guaranteeing revenues
for the coming state fair, which 1t is
hoped will be ample to meet the I'M
avoidable expenditures. This was de-
cided upon Wednesday at a joint meet
ing and luncheon of about $50 mem
bers Of the Helena Commercial. Ro-
tary and Kiwanis clubs held in the
Placer hotel.
The meeting was addressed by Ches-
ter c. Davis. state commissioner of
agriculture, who told of the plans made
for a fair to be conducted along n
different from those of the past. told
of the deficit of SIT, 900 from last year
and of the fact that only S5S,O00 was
left available for the fair for 1922, of
which only $4,000 remains on land.
He reported that twice the amount re
ceived last year for concessions had
been assured for the coming fair but
that the revenues of the gate and grand
stand must reach $4,000 in order to
meet the expenses. This, he said, was
the normal admission receipts up to
1921. and as the state could not afford
to carry rain insurance to protect it
in the case of storms it would be pee
essary for the city of Helena to take
some steps to guarantee such an in
come, and he suggested this be done by
the business men putting oil q cam
paign for the advance sale of tickets.
Sam GOA, representing the business
men, outlined q plan for the creation
of a committee of 80, with each of the
80 being given authority to name two
others. thereby making a total of 80
workers who should push the sale of
tickets. He said it was planned to
issue tickets in books, one for S. to
contain II coupons for 80 cents each,
and one for $3.50 to contain six D-cent
coupons. the coupons to be good for
admissions to the gate or the grand
stand on any day of the fair.
The plan was enthusiastically adopt
ed and the committee of 80 was named
to meet Wednesday evening to discuss
and outline its campaign.
