All the couturiers assure us that
black for evening wear has definitely
been abandoned, says Vogue. They be.
lieve in its persistence for the day
time, some of them rather despairing-
", others with recognition of its APP
| propriateness to the times we live in.
At the same time, many feel that
brown will be q serious rival of black
for the street. Rodier believes firmly
in the beige tones for daytime wear,
as a rival of gray: navy blue is too
useful to be neglected; and. SO, while
the sun shines. we expect to see
neutral tones predominating. as usual
but, in the evening. the spell will be
%loosened, and color will triumphantly
make its appearance.
The rose tones promise especially
well. Premet, for example, is pushing
them; and, in several of the millinery
collections. notably those of Maria Guy
and Verlaine. rose tones. from pale to
deep American beauty color. are fea-
4Ared. Odd tangerine shades. half or
Mge and half rose. have been en-
ployed for the Riviera models by some
houses. The jade green's are too popu-
lar to be displaced. while the vogue of
mauve is far from being at an end.
Black and white. or white alone, are
still excellent. Rumor is talking of a
new shade of bright plum color, and
Chinese yellow has it's devotees. Lam
win will certainly feature her pervenche
blue, but. in general, the stronger
shades seem more likely of success
than the pastel ones. 1t seems as
though women were saying: IF we
must give up our beloved black. at least

barded nightly by ether waves from
across their borders.
THE number of licenses issued in a
state is not a true index. however, to
that states Importance in the broad
casting field. Between so and 100 of
the licenses so far issued are held by
local electrical supply shops and similar
concerns, and many of them send only
once a week and with rather weak
transmitting sets. The United States
and sections of Canada and Mexico
is really covered adequately by
broadcasting stations in a dozen or
fewer locations. Among the most i'm
portant of these are the stations In
or near Springfield. Mass. New York
City, Schenectady, n. Y, Washington,
d. c., Pittsburg. Detroit. Chicago,
Kansas City. Dallas. Denver, Los An
egles. San Francisco and Seattle.
Powerful Stations Few
1.-The waves from the great majority
OF the local stations broadcasting con
certs are not heard beyond a radius
OF 100 watts Or one-tenth of q kilo-
watt of power. In contrast, most of
the leading broadcasting stations, which
are heard sometimes at distances of
1,0UO to 1000 miles. use from one to
one and a half kilowatts.
THE station which has received of
fetal permission to use the greatest
power in transmitting concerts is To-
Gated at Newark. Nj 1t is licensed
to use up to three kilowatts. but norm
ally does not reach This maximum. A
Pittsburg station is licensed to use
two kilowatts, and a station at Sche-
nectady, n. T.. one and one-half kilo-
watts. The experimental station Of
the naval radio service at Anacostia in
the edge of Washington. ID. c., also
uses one and one-half kilowatts.
"The United States is practically
alone in the magnitude and type of its
broadcasting development. Broadcast
ing reached considerable proportions
first in Germany. but on a different
basis. The German government broad
casted grand opera from Berlin and
then added reports on market condi-
tons. stock quotations and govern
mental activities. In England the
post office is sending out concerts
from a few points. A closer approach
to American broadcasting methods IA
being made now in France where ether
concerts are becoming commoner than
elsewhere in the eastern hemisphere.
In no other countries besides the
United States. however. have large
numbers of pris9te companies. insti-
tutions and individuals been licensed
to broadcast"

the 70s the Missouri steamboats, were
used extensively by the army in the
Sioux campaigns, and navigation was
extended up the Yellowstone river as
far as the point where Billings stands
today. The Far West, one of the most
famous of the river boats, carried Re-
nos wounded to Bismarck after the
Custer disaster.
Two of the principal problems at
tending the long river trip were fuel

needed for the furnaces, the principal
supply being cottonwood. which grows
in %profusion along the river. As traf-

Properly ~Shampooing
an Invalid's Hair

After an illness the question of car.
ing for the hair is often a serious one.
With every nerve in the body weary the
mere sight of a comb and hair brush en-
tails much misery on the part of the
patient, who doesn't realize how much
unkempt and long, unshampoosed hair
add to the discomfort of lying in bed.
1t is so comfortable when lying in
bed to have ones hair well brushed and
ones scalp massaged gently and the
needed shampoo accomplished by dry
cleaning. Dry cleaning? Yes, and it
is q very simple operation and carefully
performed will give no sense of dis
comfort to the patient.
First, spread a big towel across the
patients pillow under the aching head.
Then. carefully separate the strands of
hair. brushing it well with long, even
strokes. BY taking a little strand Of
hair ~ n time the dreaded snarls and
pulling fail to materialize.

dog Fannie do all the work. Instead
of this there will be tracts of 100 acre:
or smaller with Il wire fence around it
The roads will be flooded during peri
DDS in the summer with irrigation
water so the farmer can extract s:
from motorists for pulling their Pack
ards out of the mud hole. Each farm
will have its dozen milk cows which
must be MIXED before dawn in the
morning and after dark at night.
Instead of the roundup cooks cry of
grub pile the rooster will fling forth
his challenge to the new day and as the
farmer comes to consciousness. he re-
members that today. besides his usual
duties of tending to the chickens. ducks,
geese. turkeys, pigs. sheep, COW and
horses, the alfalfa must be cut, the
oats irrigated. the sugar beets cult
waited and the potatoes paris greened.
Surely. a full day. but irrigated farm
ing is nc lazy mans job. 1t has work
for every day in the year. Work. where
aside from serving the Lord faithfully
every day, one must also lay up some
thing with which to send the children
to school and lay up something which
will allow him in his old age to live in
town, where he will wish every day
that he were back on the farm.
Project Is a Favorable One
This picture, it will be said, has as
yet only been painted in words and will
require a long while in painting in re-
atty. Not as long as one may think.
Visualize the changes that have occur
red since the visit of Lewis and Clark,
only a little more than 100 years ago.
and remember that today the world
changes more in one year than it did
in 10 in those times.
The project has everything in its
favor from an irrigation standpoint
a soil on which was raised more than
so bushels of wheat to the acre during
the good seasons of 1915-16; a topog-
raphy which couldn't be improved upon
if built for the purpose in producing
natural drainage. and ease of irrigation.
The long days of continual sunshine,
warm soil, and little rainfall during the
summer make ideal growing conditions
after %irrigating water is available. The
dry air and lack of storms enable har-
to be done at the right time

weather.
The crops that will be grown under
irrigation are such as will find a ready

to this great arid area will yield
agricultural. dairy and livestock pro-
which will add greatly to the
wealth of the state of Montana.

Story of Stolen Steamboat
Many strange craft made their way
up the Missouri. One of the most
amazing stories having to do with these
is that Of the Richmond. which locked
at Fort Benton, July %, 1867, after
steaming from the Red river in Texas
across the gulf, up the Mississippi and
onward up the Missouri. She carried
no stores of merchandise. At her
masthead flew a black flag. Her crew
were pirates and outlaws, whose mis-
sion in fighting their way up the turgid
currents of the Missouri was one of
revenge and death.
The story of her crew dates from
the ending of the Civil war, when these
men, who were a band of Quantrell's

Guerillas. went to Texas, where they
committed many murders and robber-
les. Strife arose among them and
their leader, known as Farmer Peel
decamped with the loot which they had
accumulated. after turning traitor and
informing on his men in exchange for
a safe conduct out of the country. The
men whom he betrayed escaped and
swore vengeance. Learning that he
had gone to Montana's gold fields, they
seized the steamer Richmond and
started for Fort Benton. After adven-
lures that make a romance worthy of
the pen of a Stevenson, they reached
that port, only to find that Peel had
been shot to death in a gambling brawl
in Helena a few weeks before. They
sent a committee to Helena, it is said,
and exhumed his body TO be sure that
they had not been deceived in the re-
port of his ending. Their boat, the
Richmond. was seized by federal off
GERS on the down-river trip, the outlaw
crew escaping to the Idaho gold fields.

THE Mississippi river, which
has it's source through the
confluence of the Gallatin,
Jefferson and Madison rivers
in southwestern Montana, has
had probably as far-reaching
an influence on the growth and
development of the United
States as any waterway of the
nation. The story of the navi-
cation of this stream from as
early at 1870, when the first
French voyageurs penetrated
as far as the Mandan villages in
the Dakotas, to 1890, when the
last commercial steamboat left
Fort Benton on a downstream
trip, to replete with romance,
adventure and untold stirring
incidents in the long-fought
battle to conquer a vast empire
Of undeveloped wealth.
Captain John La Barge, the
great Missouri river pilot, a
few months before his death a
score Of years ago said: 81,
alone, could easily name a hum
dred points along the river
where l have buried passengers
or members of crews of nv
boats. It will never be knows
and cannot now be even con-
jectured how many of these
long-forgotten graves there
are, but l can say with truth
that there are enough to make
the shores of the Missouri one
continuous graveyard from it's
source to its mouth. The river
men of the Missouri class
who filled a great place in the
history of the west and who to-
day are practically forgotten
used to tell many thrilling tales
OF tragedies along the stream.
Countless stories of desperate
battles against overwhelming

odds in the wilderness are, with

MIssourI's Mighty Influence

Mississippi and the Pacific coast by
