Montana's most perfect baby
Will be designated by the official
scorers at the Better Baby" show
to be conducted at Helena as "a
feature of the state fair next week.
At this contest which will be con-
Quoted according to the most mod
ern scientific methods and which
will be open to every baby in the
state between the ages of IL and
90 months, the entrants will be
scored, not upon the basis of beau
ty, but as to their physical and
mental developments.
Beautiful eyes and pretty hair,
which in the past have had much to
do with the judging of a perfect child
are not the factors to be considered
in this contest, but the medical
ers will take into consideration mem
tai alertness, firm muscles, weight,
height and freedom from all physi-
cal im%perfections.
The state fair management is max
ing extensive preparations for the
coming Better Babies" show and a
series of examination rooms with
glass sides is being constructed along
one side of the new dance pavilion IN
the fair grounds.
The show will be open to babies
from all over the state in two classes,
n for children from the cities and
towns of more than 1000 population,
and one for those from the country
and the towns of less than 1000 pop
~ulation.
Examinations at which each baby
will be scored on each of the various
number of points, will be conducted
from ten o'clock in the morning until
noon of Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of the fair week.
On Wednesday examinations will
be conducted by doctors from Great
Falls and Bozeman, on Thursday by
doctors from Butte and Deer Lodge,
they being assisted on these two days
by doctors and dentists from Helena,
while on Friday the work will be at
tended to by Helena physicians. The
show will be under the direction of
DR.. Ida Bradley, director Of child
welfare work for the state board of
health, and Mrs. Sarah e. Morse, Sc
of the Montana Anti-Tuber-
association. The prizes will
be medals, trophies and diplomas. De-
finite plans will be announced when
will be desired so that definite
times for each examination can be as
each contestant.

dams version of an encounter but
this is not easily obtained. The In
dian is reticent, except with his
own people or tried friends, and
white men, as a rule, find difficulty
in learning his side of a story.
The Indian belongs to the child
stage of the human race, and his
~reticence is due to the same shy
ness which makes it hard for a
child to express its feelings.
We have, however, thanks to
that good friend of the red man,
George Bird Grinnell, the Indian
story of the Rosebud fight, which
took place June II, 1876, between
white soldiers and Indians at the
bend of the Rosebud. The result
Of this engagement is generally
claimed as a victory for the white
troops, but it was, says Grinnell,
their defeat.
The origin of this fight, togeth-
er with other Indian troubles Of
the '70's, is known to all who are at
all familiar with the history Of the
West. When gold was discovered
in the Black Hills in 1874, it was
impossible to keep prospectors out
Of hat region. The white men
coveted it because Of the gold it
held; the red men priced it as val
liable hunting ground, and the land
was theirs by right, if the word of
the government could be trusted.
The Indian did not hunt for
sport, but to provide food for him
self and his family. The Black
we're full of deer and bear and
the Indians, looking upon that re-
gion as their storehouse, natural
ly resented its invasion by the
whites.
AS usual the government sought.
to compromise the question; and
as usual called a conference, the
purpose of which was to take from

alizing what it meant for them, re-
fused the offered terms. They
would not exchange their store
house for the white mems mess Of
pottage, nor would they consider
themselves bound by the agreement
Of others. They would fight for
what was theirs, through former
agreements-and they did.
In the spring Of 1876, Generals
Terry and Crook were dispatched
to teach the Indians Of Montana,
Wyoming and North Dakota, who
had not agreed to the treaty, that
they must stop molesting the
whites. General Terry was to go
up the Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers, and from there carry on his
operations towards the south
while General Crook was to 60
north to the headwaters of the
Powder Tongue, Rosebud and Big
Horn rivers. On June 9, when
command had reached the
Tongue river it was attacked by
Indians, and two men were wound
ed.
1t happened in this manner: Lit
tie Hawk had said to the young
men of the village, Come, let us
60 out and steal some horses from
the whites" With their usual love
of adventure, Little Hawks sug-
gestion met with a quick response.
The band of Indians set out for the
place where they expected to find
the horses but on reaching the top
of the hill, they were surprised to
see the plain beneath them covered
with soldiers.
"There are too many for us to
said Little Hawk. Let us
20 back" But the white soldiers
had caught sight of them, and sent
a shower of bullets in their direc-
ton. The Indians returned the
fire wounding two men, and then
retreated.
The fight on the Rosebud was
waged eight days later. While the
official report says the attack of
he Indians was made at the en-
rance to a deep and rocky canyon,
Grinnell, who has been over the
ground, claims that the fight took

plain, inclosed by high bluffs

its coming they discovered a herd

of their number called attention to

BIRTH CONTROL

The theory Of birth control is based
upon a faflacy.
The idea is that, if we breed hu-
man beings like we breed horses and
cattle, or limit the number Of chill
dren in a family, we will produce
better and more useful men and
women.
AS a rule the rich have fewer chill
dren than do people in ordinary cir
cumstances.
They escape the mills Of adversely,
attend college, but know nothing Of
the University of Hard Knocks.
Why do so many children of the
rich make shipwreck of their lives?
Why is it that parents who practice
birth conntrol never produce Lin
coin, or an Edison?
Why is it that eugenics never pro-
duced a Steinmetz, the physical
weakling, who became the worlds
greatest mathematician - the most
marvellous electrical genius of the
age?
Mills of adversity manufacture
MEN.
Great leaders graduate from the
University Of Hard Knocks.
The value Of human being does
not depend upon good looks.
Men are not bred for speed, or for
weight.
The poor in wealth are often rich
in spirit.
People may have weak bodies and
dynamic brains.
People may be physically perfect
and worthless.
The value of a human being de
pends upon character-and character
is a product of education and cul-
ture
1t is not o question Of height,
width, weight, good looks or physical
perfection. True values must be ac-
Quired after we get here.-Branns

ing to accept travelling cards from
sister locals in the same international
received hard jolt when Christopher
Coulter of Pittsburgh was awarded
$3.50 against the Sheetmetal Workers
union for losses he claims he sustain
ed by their refusal to honor his card.
He was unable to obtain work, he de-
clared, because of the policy of the
Cleveland local in restricting member
ship.
The local was backed by the inter
national when Coulter appealed to
higher boards within the union before
taking his case to federal court.

Explosions Caused
By InattentiOn

Washington - If operators would
employ more men to inspect gases in
mines, there would be fewer eXplo-
sions is the intimation contained in
a study of 256 coal mine explosions
by the United States bureau of mines.
The explosions occurred in a period
of Is years. They killed 4,413 men
and injured $40 others.
One explosion, costing nearly 100
lives, without doubt was indirectly
caused by the evident inability Of the
fire boss to inspect his section. In
fact, it was stated at the time of the
explosion that two fire bosses had
formerly been employed for the same
section.
