Tips Worth Takinu


The floor mats should be cleaned
by brushing or with vacuum clean
er, never by shaking. The practice
of shaking a floor mat. after the
fashion of shaking rug. rips off the
binding of the edge.
Form the habit OF opening the
doors from the inside whenever this
is possible. 1t saves wearing off the
nickle from the outside door handles;
and passengers very soon uncon-
sciously initiate the driver.
After the car has been through
light mist or fog is a good time to
remove mud splashes by rubbing
lightly with clean rag, il running
water is not handy.
Leaks around the pet cocks, spark
plugs or manfolds can best be located
by squirting little oil over the sus-
pected parts. Bubbles will reveal
the air leak.

Outdrivino ths Horn

When driving in congested districts
be careful not to out drive" your
horn. The habit is like this: You see
several rows of pedestrians crossing
at a street intersection ahead. You
sound your horn-a trif1e late. The
pedestrians of the first line catch the
signal and hurry out of the way.
Those in the second line. however,
are slower to act for they have not
paid any attention to your horn. be-
ing content to take a tip from the
line which guards them. The third
line are in an even worse predica-
ment, for they do not get out of the
way until your car is almost upon
them. These lines" referred to are
of course, frequently imaginary; that
is, there will be several pedestrians
crossing the street at different dis
tances from the car. In sounding the
horn so late you, therefore, out
drive" the horn. 1t is all just another
way Of urging you to sound your
horn early enough so that if pedes-
TRANS do not respond promptly
there will be ample time to sound
the horn again. or stop.

Watch Rear Wheels

Remember that the position Of the
rear wheels count most in trying to
make parking space. Rear wheels
do not track the front wheels, which
explains why the rear of the car will
be far away from the curb when the
front end is placed exactly where
you want 1t to be. The stunt in

SILVER DYKE MINE AT NEIHART
HAS ORE FOR 10 YEARS MINING

With more than 10000 0 IONS of
ore in sight, enough to guarantee OPP
e~rations from seven to 10 years, the
mill working in full capacity, 400
tons a day, and equipment on the.
way to increase the capacity to 500
tons a day, the Silver Dyke property
in the Neihart district is due to be-
come one of the important mining
properties of Montana, according to.
Howard Young, manager of mines of
the American, Zinc, Lead & Refining
company, principal n of the Sill
yer Dyke, who was in Great Falls
with his family en- route to Mascot,
Tenn.
When asked about operations IN
the Silver Dyke property, Mr.. Young
stated that since his company took
hold of the affairs of the Silver Dyke
in 1921, discoveries have been made
which warranted mining of ore and.
milling for from seven to 10 years.
The ore, more than 1,000,0 600 tons,
is in sight, according to Mr.. Young,
who added that a tunnel had been
driven about lao feet from the sur
face downward. The mine is not a
shaft mine, and the cost of bringing
the ore out will not be as expensive
in mines where shafts are used.
Mr.. Young will return to Montana
late next winter and in the meantime
operations will continue al full ca

Every Year for Four Years Past New
Field Has Been Brought in; Flat

Broadview Possibilities.

Montana's eligibility list of wild
cats probable to develop a 1928 oil
field has narrowed down to eight
drilling wells. -Four of these are
due for completion in the next few
days. -Four others will be completed,
possibly, this month. There are nine
other tests which might upset the
dope sheet between now and Christ
mas.
Every year for four years past,
Montana has developed a new oil
field. Kevin-Sunburst field was the
1922 product. The world is watching
Montana to see what the year 1928
will bring.
Seven structures OF alleged struc-
lures have been eliminated, one by
one, by the blunt nose of a drill
Other wells, as on Flatwillow, have
failed, but still others will be COM
pleted, to further establish the value
of the structure.
Listed as expected early compile
lions are:
Maginnis dome, Fergus county.
Taylor-Owens, Chouteau county.
Bowdoin dome, Phillips county.
Gladys Belle field, Liberty county.
Listed among the probable com-
p%letions of the month are:
Cowboy Creek, Chouteau county.
Bowes structure, Blaine county.
Porcupine dome, Rosebud county.
Jackson dome, Fergus county.
Possible competitions this fall in

There are numerous others, includ-
ing Flatwillow, Brush Greek, Coal

be named among the possibilities
of the year; however it is improbable
that many of these will complete to
the probable productive sands this
year.
Maginnis structure, being drilled
by Henry Sherard, has the center of
interest this week. Sherard picked
this as one of the most likely struc-
in Montana and the drill has
confirmed the accuracy of his geol-
ogy in that he has established that
the structure is closed. He has 700
feet of hole and 1000 feet will reach

Montana Lily Pitkanen, for that's

takes her exercises regularly and
avoids many circumstances that Other
people actually seek.
For instance, she does not excite
her nerves by engaging in excessive
hilarity. Neither does she allow her
self to become emotional in other res
poets. She avoids dances and par
ties, but occasionally goes to a NOV
ing picture show. She never touches
coffee.
But she does not condemn these
traits in other people. Neither does
she deprive herself of pleasure. She
finds her chief pleasure in life, how
ever, in glowing health.
people become accustomed to GER
tain traits which, if suddenly broken
off, would be injurious to them"
she declares. For example, if a per-
son is a habitual coffee drinker I
would not advise them to quit sud-
denly. The heart and sys-
tenn have become accustomed to this
stimulant. To quit without proper
preparations would cause a reaction,
which in turn would cause the col
lapse of a portion of the system. This
would be more injurious than a con-
tinuation of the habit.
As to Exercises
1.-THE same applies to calisthenics.
After a period, the heart becomes ac-
customed to this added stimulant. To
cease suddenly would produce a SINH
lar reaction"
Although DR.. Pitkanen has had re-
results in caring for chill
dren, she is extremely modest about
her accomplishments. 81 am not sure
whether I have had more than my
share of luck, or whether my methods
supply a missing link in the care of
infants during the first few months"
admits DR.. Pitkanen.
At any rate, she is contemplating
no change in her methods and even
physicians, long experienced in the
profession, as well as the public in
general, are watching with interest
he results of her efforts.

of a big leather couch in her office
may be seen any hour of the day q
tiny bundle of clothes. Swathed in
cotton and bathed in olive oil is Elsie
Myriam Lahti, who weighs just one
pound.
DR.. Pitkanen has set for herself
the task of nourishing this bit of hui
mainly along until it some day be-
comes a picture of health, like Mon
tana Lily. Though the odds are great
ly against her, the foster mother de-
clares it can be done even though old
and inexperienced physicians told
her the child could not be raised out
side of an incubator.
Elsie Myriam is without a doubt
the smallest baby ever born in Mon
tana that has lived. Now she is near
ly a week old and is getting stronger
every day. If she survives the rigors
of another week DR.. Pitkanen de-
clares she will have a normal chance
to live, while her foster parent will
have proved what other physicians
declared could not be done.

Other babies of about her weight
have lived, but invariably they have
spent the first three months of their
lives in an incubator. Too small to
take nourishment of her own accord,
Elsie Myriam is fed through a medi-
cine dropper. At first the matter of
feeding her was a problem, but now

|DINOSAUR BONES
OF ADAMS TIME
RUNKEL UNEARTHS REMARK
ABLE TREASURE NEAR
BILLINGS

A find of antiques which antedatt
those discovered in King Tut's toni
by several million years has been un
earthed almost under the noses o.
Billings citizens, in the discovery Of
four vertebrae of a species of dino
saur which lived anywhere from 49,
100000 to lao, 1000, 900 years ago.
The our bones are real bones and
not fossils or quartz requirements,
and were discovered late this summer
by F. F. Runkel, secretary of the
Montana Development association,
while he was out inspecting fields
during the summer tillage campaign.
1t seems that Mr.. Runkel took a day
off and went wandering down the
banks of a certain creek in south
central Montana, in search of the
famous mountain beauties of that
section.
1t is reported that he stumbled
over a projection in the loose soil and
picking himself up, looked to ascer-
tain the cause of his downfall. This
he perceived to be some rather queer
looking bones, and after loosening
one he decided that it was not the
remains of any species of mammal,
bird or fish on earth today.
Digging around in the earth with
his hands, he uncovered four of the
strange specimens and brought them
back to Billings with him on his re-
turn. He took several pictures of the
bones and sen them to S. C. Simms,
in charge of the Field Museum of
Natural History at Chicago. There
they were pronounced undoubtedly
to be the remains of a dinosaur speci-
men, probably a brontosaurus.
These animals lived from 10000
900 to 100000 years ago and
sometimes grew to the enormous
lengths of SO feet and IL feet in
height. They were some of the later
reptiles during the Jurassic and Gre
taceous periods, and were on earth
at about the same time that the inn
mense coal fields west of the Missis-
sippi river were formed.
The remarkable feature about the
specimens is that they are actual
bones and not requirements, some
thing that is but little found. An
expedition has but recently departed
Chicago for a two years trip
to South America in search of these
very specimens, only that fossils are
expected to be recovered, not bones.
The bones are in a remarkable state
of preservation, appearing to be
about 20 years old instead of several
million.
1t is thought that the remaining
parts of the animal are beyond doubt
in the same section, and further ex-
cavations are being promised by Mr..
Runkel.
The four specimens each are prong
ed with what appears to be a rib, and
of them are closely connected
while the fourth would appear to
have fitted in somewhere about 20
feet from the other three, indicating
hat the animal which once wore"
was at least that long, and prob
twice that estimate. This is al
most the first archaeological speci-
men to be found in Montana, and the
TACT that the pieces are real bone
makes the discovery much more in
.eresting.
