AT HIGHWAY MEET

George DarlintOn, member Of the
board Of county nomnHi nHissiOners, is in
Helena today to attend the meeting
of the state highway commission,
which is holding a three-day session
with county commissioners for the
discussion of Montana road prob
lens.
The prime purpose CT the meeting
is to consider plans for saving the
federal aid money available to Mon
tana under certain conditions. The
1925 legislature left the state high,
way department with limited funds
at its disposal, and the federal gov
ernment now insists that certain
Montana roads must be covered with
four inches of fine crushed gravel to
insure their adequate maintenance
and to conserve the precent invest
ment. The government offers to
contribute Sc per cent of the cost,
and the problem is to provide money
for the states A per cent.
A proposal that the counties give
up for this purpose funds accruing
from the state gasoline tax probably
will be made, and is certain to arouse
a spirited discussion. The attitude Of
the Gallatin county commissioners, it
is understood, is not fully in accord
with this plan. It is felt here that
Imany of the counties might get nc
adequate return for the money thus
voluntarily yielded up, while others
contributing far less, would benefit
in unjust proportion.

companied BY 8 payment of at least

G. A. Rasmussen, Collector Of In-
trenal Revenue for the district Of
Montana, calls attention to the fact
that where a taxpayer, on account Of
sickness or unavoidable absence,
finds it impossible to file a correct
income tax return for the year 1925
on or before March Is, 1926, applica-
tion may be made for extension Of
time within which to file. Such ap-
plicati0n should be made direct to
the Collector Of internal Revenue,
Helena, Montana, instead of to The
Commissioner at Washington, as was
the practice last year.

congress MEETS,
RECEIVES MESSAGE
AND "GETS BUSY

Amid what is characterized by
press dispatches as "colOrful and tur-
buIent scenes in the house and utter
calm in the senate" the Sixty-ninth
congress convened Monday for its
first session.
The fireworks in the house were
started by q small group Ct insur-
gents, but the Republican majority
was victorious IN every test. Eichol-
as Longworth ,f Ohio, former Re
plblican floor leader, was elected
speaker in a three-cornered race in
which the Democrats supported F. j.
Garrett Of Tennessee, their floor
chief, and the insurgents cast their
ballots for Henry Allen Cooper of
Wisconsin. The vote gave Long.
worth 229, Garrett 173, and Cooper
13, with five voting present"
Fight Over Rules
The next test of strength came
when there was proposed an amend.
ment to the rules to make more diff
ficult the discharge of a committee
from the consideration Of legislation
referred to it. Again the Republi-
cans won, but by a narrower margin,
the vote being 2OS to 1876.
In the senate the program mapped
out by the Republican leaders was
carried through without a hitch, the
initial session lasting only 25 min
utes. Three new senators-LaFOl-
lette, Wisconsin,; Robinson, Indiana,
and Williams, MissOuri-were sworn
in. Organization was completed with
the election of Edwin P. Thayer, of
Indianapolis, as secretary.
Presidents Message
Tuesday both houses received and
listened to the reading of President
Coolidge's annual message, embody-
ing recommendation for legislation.
A summary Of its contents will be
found on Page 4 Of this issue of The
Courier. After the message had been
read, house and senate got down to
business, the house first taking up
the 1925, 100000 reduction bill. De-
bate en- the measure will close -Satur-
day night, after which amendments
viii be considered.
Budget Submitted
In budget figures submitted to COR
gress Wednesday President Coolidge
estimated government expenditures
for the fiscal year 1927 at $3,896, ,2O7,-
921, and declared that the minimum
cost of operating the government hac
been reached. The estimate is an in
crease Of S16O, O,O83, 1926 over funds ap.
propriated fer the current fisca
year. The surplus for this year il
estimated at S262,C41 ,756, and fol
1927 at $3.50, 100000.

MONTANA BIRTHS
EXCEED DEATHS BY
MORE Than 5000

Births in Montana for the first
nine months Of this year exceed
deaths by S,9S7, according to figures
made public by the vital statistics di-
vision Of the Montana department Of
public health. The births numbered
7,849, which compares with TITS for
the same period Of last year, and the
deaths 1852, as against S,67s for
uine months Ef 1924,
Two hundred and five cases Of ty,
phoid fever, with IL deaths, were re-
ported in the first 10 months of 1925.
In the same period Of last year there
were 100 cases reported, with 10
deaths. There has been an increase,
the board says, in the number Of
cases but the fatality rate is much
less, being only 1 death for every II
cases reported in 1925, as against 1
death in every IL cases reported IN
1924. 'This shows excellent report
ing on the part of physicians, as it
is generally recognized that where
there are 10 cases reported to death,
the reporting is good"
Christmas Seal Sale
A number of other matters are
taken up in the boards Health Re
view," just issued. Among them is
the campaign for the sale Of Christ
mas seals.
''The indications are that there will
be a recOrd-breaking sale," declares
! the Review" Ninety-five per cent
of the money collected from the seal
sale in Montana is spent in the state
by the Montana tuberculosis assOci-
alton for the prevention Of tubercu-
losis. Mrs. Sara E. Morse is state
executive officer of the association
and has done splendid work The
value Of it is reflected in our vita
statistics figures, which show a grad
ual decrease in the death rate from
tuberculosis. The work of the Tuber-
lculosis association is so well recog,
nized in the state that the people
are beginning to feel that it is nearly
as important to contribute to it's sup
port as it is to pay their taxes"

Ideal Screen Girl.

who is directing Graustark.' the best
way, next to the actual taking of a
screen test, to obtain the most truth
full impression of how a person will
appear on the screen is to look az the
face through a piece of dark blue
glass. Blue glass eliminates all col
oring and makes the face appear as il
would from the screen. This is a
simple test which any girl contemplat-
ing journey to Hollywood can easily
try for herself before she draws out
her savings for railroad ticket. :.
This is what the blue glass should
reveal if you have a camera face: An
oval shaped contour with rather high
but not too prominent cheek bones;
hair with lots of life and CLINT in it
red hair somehow photographs eXcep-
tionally well: eyes set far apart, not
so large as TO be overly prominent, not
so small as to photograph as mere
Sits: we'll defined brows that are not
too thick: a straight nose, preferably
little tilted upward at the tip: d.
well bowed mouth, not too small. that
parts into a smile of definite charm
without lining the face too much and
that reveals small and very even
teeth; softly rounded chin, not too
weak and not too prominent. The
profile should be clear cut. Eivacity,
charm and mobility of expression are
great assets"

when she was restored to her right
full estate by an honorable youth who

cles of wealth and aristocracy, but
her husband drunken Sot, gradually
shifts her interest to Ned Thayer, an
impetuouS young fellow who is tricked
into a false position and thus causes
the disintegration of her home. After
the last pearl is pawned, the last re-
source exhausted and Lady Helen is
about to succumb to the blandlsh-
ments of a persistent sutton, comes
the climax.

husband and Lloyd Hughes as a
poised and interesting lover. Give

What Props" Mean.

DROPS.
This little word shouted out fire.
quently during the making of James
Cruces picture, Welcome Home" be-
wildered several studio visitors, and
they asked:
Who is this 'Props?"
They were informed that props
was an abbreviation of the term prop
critics." which designates all things
used for, by. with and around the
actors who make up scene for a
motion picture.
Properties are divided into three
groups-decorative, hand and action
props. All articles used to enhance
the beauty of a scene or to give it
character. such as vases, statuary, pic
lures and the like. come under the
sharp line of demarcation between set
dressings and decorative props, but
usually furniture. hangings and dra-
peries come in the first category and
smaller articles of decoration come I'M
der the second.
All properties that do not come I'M
der the head of decorative or costume
detail are considered hand props. This
list includes such things as weapons,
military equipment of every period
and nationality, hand luggage, canes.
crutches and, in fact, every variety
OF article required for use in a pic
ture.
When the interior of a drug store.
dry goods store or any type of shop,
saloon, factory. poolroom or cafe is
shown the hand prop department is
required to completely furnish 1t. Au-
diences have become not only discern
ing, but highly critical in recent years.
and directors have become sticklers
for realism and eXactitude.

confront the property department.. for

was necessary to photograph a New
England kitchen. The property de-
partment provided turkeys, hot from
the oven: apple, pumpkin and mince
pies, loaves of bread. celery. apples

make up a feast However, a scene
such as this never fails to give the
property boys especial delight, for

And it will be appreciated just how
really important is this man Props"
when it is understood that all of
these articles must be procured and
set up before the camera on a few
hours notice. If there is any delay
about this hundreds of dollars are
lost. Usually there isn't any delay,
however.
