How Coats Of Arms Originated

The idea of coats of arms, by which
we distinguish old families, originated
in the time when each section Of a
country was controlled by chief or
lord, who was in q sense responsible
fought for him in battle and he pro.
bility Of providing them with food and
shelter. During attacks by the enemy
the people gathered within the walls Of
the castle with him and defended it.
Sometimes the fight was in the open,
and number Of chiefs and their people
made common warfare on others. The
lords led their people in battle in those
days. They were in the front of the
fighting line. As the common soldier
could not read, each leader carried q
banner on which various designs and
figures were painted. People could
understand pictures before they could
read. These designs included figures Of
the lion. lily, dragon, or any other de-
sign which was picked out by the lord
Often the design for the banner was Sc
lected because of some incident in the
history of the family. The banner en-
abled the common soldier to keep near
his chief. For the same reasons the de-
sign was put on the outside garments,
so that the soldier would know when
he met some one of superior rank. and
in that way the leader became the rep
rescntative of the particular sign or
crest. The, practice of displaying the
family coat of arms or crest today is
preserved by some families as mark
of their descent from one of the lords
or chiefs who were the little kings Of
their day. g.. ..

A famous economist tells story of
an irritable young man holding. to a
strap In an elevated train. who was un-
duly annoyed whenever an older man
next to him happened TO be swung
against him by the motion of the car.
At last the young man so far forgot
himself as to speak angrlly TO the eld-
erly passenger
Later in the day he had an important
appointment which meant a new and
wonderful opportunity for him. When
he was shown into the Cffice, there sa,
the arbiter of his destiny, the old gen

most every Paris designer has sent over

A favorite type with the three. piece

the little loose paletot. Still another
has the jacket blousing into q hip line

novelty by providing smart straight line

asked if it would be possible to
tell from the income tax returns what
1t had cost to, produce or run sheep.
lie said the system of ascertaining
costs of production by the use of in
v%entories had been followed since 1896;
that, of course, it was difficult to de-
termine the cost of running sheep from
OF any particular govern
ment return unless it was shown when
the particular sheep were acquired,
but that the government had provided
a schedule on the back of the returns
to be filled out by which the cost of
could be determined, but
on this particular return for 1917
the schedule had not been filled out,
indicating that the company
had no figures to submit on that fea-
ture of income.

Specia Ito The Tribune.
Missoula, May 1O.-Pi Delta Alpha,
local law fraternity at the State Uni
yersity, has been granted a charter of
Phi Delta Phi, international legal
fraternity, according to a telegram re-
ceived Saturday from Indianapolis.
where the Phi Delta Phi convention
was held in May.
The Pi Delta Alpha developed from
a society called the Twelfth Chancery,
organized in the school Of law at the
state university in 1912. In 1917, a
petition was presented to the general
convention of Phi Delta Phi, but owing
to the war no action was taken on the
petition. During the war every man
was in the service and afterwards only
two members returned to school. As
a result ri Delta Alpha was not organ
lied until October, 1920, when it again
petitioned for q charter from Phi Delta
Phi.
Honorable Theodore Brantly, chief
justice of the Montana supreme court,
DR.. Clayberg, first dean of the law
school of the state university, and G.
w. Leaphart, present dean of the law
school are honorary members of ri
Delta Alpha.
