The popularity of figured fabrics, In

promotes the cause of plain coats this
spring. The plain coat, In u~nassertive
cOlOrs, harm0niZes with any sort Of
dress. These utility coats are entirely
untrimmed and are made of suede
finished cloths, kashaS, twills, tweeds
and other cOatings. They are cut on
smart and easy lines, sometimes with
the raglan type Of sleeve and usually
with double-breast fronts. COlOrs best
liked for them are light brown, russell,
tan and wood shades, beige, sand and
a few blues and green's. A typical
plain coat and street hat for spring are
shown in the picture above.

western, central and eastern Montana
sections follows:
Western Montana -
Hay supplies and other feeds hold
ing out better than expected in Bea-
verhead and Madison counties, due
TO mild weather which has conserved
the shorter supplies. Considerable
stock however, moved earlier in the
season to other parts of the state
for winter feeding and some stock
was forced to market on account of
short feed. Snow in the mountains
throughout the western area is re-
ported favorable for spring range and
irrigation. Low prices and poor de-
mand for beef and high prices for
hay are noted in reporters comments
throughout most of this section
Winter losses Of stock to date have
apparently averaged somewhat less
than usual. Prices quoted on local
sales in the Beaverhead country,
range from 4 to SIC for feeder steers
and up to 612c for fat steers, with
but few reports of sales of calves

able type are being held at $14.OO

COOLIDGE FAVORS
SMOOT MEASURE
Has No New Idea on Question
of Reorganization, But
Will Support 1t.

President Coolidge has no new idea,
Federal Departments, White House
spokesman declared today. He Is
committed to the Smoot bill which
passed the House of Representative
last year. but failed to live through
TIE Senate.
The President Is understood to nave
expressed a strong desire to see a
similar measure providing for the re
partments taken up at the coming ses-
sion Of Congress and passed, and he Is
represented as having intlmated that
he would give such legislation his
hearty support.
At the same time. 1t was said that
the Presidents desire to see the pub
lie buildings program put through Con
gress are the same as last year. He
Is understood TO have expressed q
willingness 10 lend his support and
approval TO a public buildings bill sim
liar to the one that failed Of passage
during the last session of Congress
together with reorganization legisla=
ton.
On the other hand it was pointed
out that Mr.. Coolidge is as determined
as ever TO oppose the passage OF build
ing legislation which might be con
strued as a pork barrel bill. lie
hopes that the coming Congress will
see ut to adopt measure appropriat
Ing a lump sum TO be spent for a Gov
ernment building program both in
Washington and in the States.
Such measure would follow the
general ideas Of the Elliott bill, which
Congress shelved at its last session.
The Elliott bill appropriated 500
900, 900. half of which was to be used
for Federal buildings in the District oC
Columbia. and half in the States. The
entire amount, however. was 20 be
spent under the direction Of the Sec
retary of the Treasury and the Post
master General, thus eliminating the
possibility of the charge being made
that members of Congress had wasted
the state share to entrench their po-
litical prestige.
The President is understood to have
expressed himself as very deeply and
favorably Impressed by the extraordi
nary number of State governors who
have come to Congress and laid before
the House ways and means conmitter
the tax problem of their RESPECTIVE
commonwealthS. President Coolidge
feels that as result OF this informa
ton Congress will be better able 10
consider the reduction of taxes ana
approach the problem with a proper
idea Of what the communities OF the
Nationa need first.
President Coolidge is understood "a
feel that the States should be given
as broad control as possible over their
industrial and financial problems. He
would like to leave these questions a (
much as possible in the hands of the
state authorities and the fact thar
the governors presented their views
on taxation to the proper Congres
sional committee has made ii possible
for any future tax legislation to in
clude justified proposals thus sub
mitted.

the bituminous fields is being held over
the whole situation. The anthracite
strike is said to be merely a lever
whereby the leaders of the miners
union hope to force a change in the
fields.
It is estimated that whereas origin.
ally about 65 per cent of the opera
tions In the soft coal fields were under
union and 30 per cent under non union
conditions, the situation today is that
about 20 per cent, Of the coal is being
mined under non.union and 80 per cent
under union scales. Naturally, John
Lewis will lose his hold on the miners
unless he can get most of the fields
working under union scales. Simi-
larIy his hand will be strengthened
with the non-union men If he can
demonstrate his power to force the
operators to mine most Of the coal
under union scale Of wages. The ques-
ton Is whether the miners in those
union fields. where the operators are
keeping the Jacksonville agreement,
can be induced to strike simply as a
part of a maneuver Of John Lewis to
punish the three operators who broke
their agreements.
So far as officials here are con-
cerned, they don't see why the miners
delay taking their arguments to the
courts to secure respect for contracts
in the same way that other business
folks do.

ture of the Navy will be bright, that
It's tasks will be made easier and
that, indeed, the security of our great
Republic will be forever guaranteed

that the first battleship. propelled
by steam, was authorized. and for
years developments were made along
those lines.
What would John Paul Jones say
could he return to pace once more the
deck Of battleship, and see it sur
rounded and protected by Its screen
Of destroyers and submarines; what
would he say could he see the air
planes gracefully rising from the deck
of Il carrier and disappear in the blue
overhead; what would he say could he
listen in on the radio and hear the re-
ports Of scouts hundreds OF miles
away or the reports of planes direct
ing the fall Of shot over the horizon?
Certainly since the days OF that heroic
figure our Navy has changed in its
material aspect, in its diversified types.
in its tremendous might.
Spirit Praised.
1T is that spirit carried on down
through the generations which causes
the Navy to do whatever II is called
upon to do in spite OF all obstacles.
it Is the same spirit in the Navy OF
today that actuated and inspired our
forefathers when called upon to fight
for their liberties. out of which was
born the glory Of this great Republic;
and e1empli1ied in the wise rules Of
conduct, the scrupulous courtesies Of
the sea, and the high ideals Of duty
as proclaimed and practiced by all
Of our great sea.nen, from John Paul
Jones down; a spirit which will carry
on, and 1t Is our trust and our con-
vicuon, to the enduring glory of our
Navy and our country.
When misfortuneS have fallen to
the lot Of the naval service-and they,
fortunately, have been very few
there have been those who have bit
terly criticized the Navy in general,
even before the cause has been deter
mined or the responsibility has been
fixed. There have been those who, in
spired by the insidious foreign propa-
ganda of the worlds enemies Of law
and order. have sought by every
means in their power to undermine
the interest OF our citizens in their
Navy and to turn their enthusiasm
for the Navy into contempt, and con-
tempt into hatred"

Claims Secret Documents"
Although John Lewis claims to have
secret documents" showing the part
the Federal Government played in the
conference, officials here
insist that these relate only to the
eet-together movement and IN no way
involve the Federal Government In
any responsibility for what was agreed
upon. The only thing the Washing
ton administration did was to assure
operators and miners that II they at
tended the Jacksonville parley they
would not be subject to prosecution
as In the old days for fixing prices
as prohibited under the Serman anti
trust law. Messages Of congratulaton
from President Coolidge To both op-
orators and miners cannot be con-

The contracts were valid, and il

courts for relief-that's the conclusion
officials have reached and they are un-
able to understand why the case isn't
carried there. If the courts will not
recognize the damage done by broken
contracts, then the administration will
feel a responsibility to ask Congress
to determine measures Of relief. Under
