AUTO TOURISTS
WERE VALUABLE
TO STATE IN 1924.

Helena, March 1s.-Six lalllion dol
lars Is estimated as the value to Mon
tana of automobile tourist travel in
1924 based on a summary of reports
from commercial clubs of the state
received in the office of the Division
of Publicity. 1t is estimated that
$4,000 tourist cars crossed Montana
last year bound for the parks and
points on the west coast, or to eastern
states. The heaviest travel was west
ward. Main criticisms from tourists
were the conditions of the roads and
lack of uniform marking or direction.
All tourists seemed to be strongly
impressed with the good camping ia
cilities; variety of scenery, and fair
treatment received from business men
and people of the state wherever they
stopped. The size of Montana, variety
and extent of its agriculture and agri-
cultural progress and good crops were
reported to be surprise to moss tour
lists who had not expected to find the
state developed on such an extended
scale.
An average of 3ih people per
car gave total estimate of A.
$4,000 tourists who enjoyed Mon
tana's scenic attractions and one
or both of the National parks
in 1924. Practically all Of the cars
made at least FIVE over night stops in
crossing the state, and spent approx
mately $500 per car at each stop.
Commercial club secretaries suggest
greater advertising especially of
scenic attractions off the main high
ways, more personal attention to tour
lists, uniform marking system Of roads,
and more careful attention to giving
directions, as Immediate steps in build
ing up the tourist service of the state.

vantage. A soapstone sink Is often
chosen because of its clay color, but
it is worse selection because it is
porous, and thus takes up both grease
and dirt.
1t seems, therefore, that the enam-

the vitreous china sink are in class

construction is concerned. They may
all be obtainable with drain boards

makes them both attractive in appear

When Marriage is an Endurance Contest

Dear Miss Foo
have many times read Of the wife
who fails to keep pace with her hus-
band or the man who has lost step
with progressive wife but our case
apparently is one which both have lost
interest in everything, including each
other. After the high cost of pota-
toes is considered, or how the neigh
hors new car appears, or yet again
how my husband talked up to the boss,
we have exhausted all topics of con-
versation, and complete silence-or

hard all day and can't stay up all
hours of the night dancing. He doesn't

Consequently, we neither of us have
many friends. We become more intol-
Grant every day, and our marriage
seems to be nothing more than an en-
durance contest. We live in a fairly
good sized town. are in moderate cir
cumstances, but unfortunately we
have no children. We have thought of
adopting youngster, but we both feel
that we would be taking too much of
chance--not knowing how the child
would turn out.
What would you advise? Nora.

happy together.
Has it ever occurred to you that
your husband is working to support
you, and that no doubt he is tired
when he comes home in the evening?
Neither does he realize that, because
you are in the house all day, busy with
he problems of housewife, you want

The only solution in that case is for
zach to unbend a little. Why not

The strongest bond, the interest
which always is greatest, is unfortun-
ately denied you. Children would UNI
questionably furnish the mutual inter-
est which you seem to lack. Because
of this very lack of a great bond, you
both should make every effort to re-
place it with other common interests.
Neither Of you are companionable
enough. You need new contacts.
Every one needs variety of inter-
ests-and especially is this true of
childless couple.
Friends are necessary-not a great
number, but those who are stimulating
in their ideas, active mentally, and
what is even more important, inteIli-
gent.
A good show now and then, some
music, a lecture thrown in, good books,
movies, radio, activity in community
affairs afford the husband and wife
mutual interests.
In your case, a child would save
everything. In living to make the
child happy, you would both forget
yourself.
Perhaps you do take chance when
you adopt child. However, it is
always possible TO secure all the facts
surrounding the child's birth. For
that matter, parents are never quite
sure how their own children will turn
out, and it is chance every one with
children must take.
With proper training, proper en-.
and love, the average child
will in most cases develop into just the
sort of person you want 1t to be,
in spite of any unfavorable qualities
the child may have inherited from It's
parents and long line Of ancestors.

College of Washington.)

The custom of playing tricks on the
first day of April is so old that the
( record of its origin has been lost, but
we do know that India, as far back as
history traces, has celebrated the
spring festival of Hull which ends
March 81, with tricks and pranks play
ing large part in the merriment.
In France such customs were in
force back in the 18th century. The
victim of the hoax was called an

CONDNCTOR HAS EASY
JOB WITH ORCHESTRA

All conductors do not have RS
easy time as the director OF the
orchestra in Past and Present"
has It.
While playing June Night" IA an
encore requested by the music pub
fishers" the conductor comes down
and sits with the audience. telling all
those present to buy a copy because
he is in on the royalties. He gets a
good laugh from this stunt.
The entire idea with this orchestra
act is different from the regular run.
They first appear as an old-fashioned
band and then suddenly are trans
formed into a modern cabaret or
chestra.
They play lively music. The en-
tire act gets over with ease. We
have had many band acts this sea-
son, but the way people responded
to this one convinces me that they
are still popular.

the title suggests. II is the old i'm.

Bone-Dry

GlNDIANA now has gone to the extreme in
l prohibition laws. If there is any future
movement it must be in the direction of more
moisture Certainly we can not approach
much nearer to legal aridity.
Under the new law, it is dangerous even
to think about taking a drink. 1t is mis-
demeanor punishable by Imprisonment to &C.
cept one.
This new law should 60 a long way toward
determining the question of whether prohibi-
ton really can prohibit. 1t is much more strin-
gent than the Federal laws or any law of its
kind ever before enacted in Indiana.
Apparently there are few legal loopholes
for the thirsty citizen or for the bootlegger.
Under the Wright bill the whole problem
seems to have simmered down to the question
Of getting the evidence and presenting it in
court.
How thoroughly this law will be enforced
or can be enforced is hard to tell. Complete
enforcement and the consequent disappearance
of the stuff that cheers is more than can be ex-
pected
The immediate result probably will be an
increase in the price of hooch and feverish
activity on the part of owners of private stock
in disposing of their wet goods.
