FISH FLIRT AND BIRDS
SLEEP UPSIDE DOWN
EXPLORER ALSO TELLS OF
TOOTH-BRUSHING MONKEYS.
OTHER CURIOUS THINGS.

NEW YORK, n. Y.-Fish that tlirt
and that climb trees, monkeys that
brush their teeth after every meal and
birds that sleep upside down are few
of the animals described last night by
Carveth Wells, F. r. G. S., explorer,
in a lecture reciting his six years OF
adventure in the jungles of the Malay
peninsula.
The climbing fish comes out of
the water TO play on the beach.
Oh, Joy!
"When you tickle its tummy it
swel1s up with air and bounces about
for sheer happiness, said Mr. Wells
Another hnny freak is the flirting
fish, the only swimming animal known
to have a genuine wink. The coquettish
creature is known as the peripthalmus
schloseril which is Greek for eye
winker"
Mr.. Wells told OF a live teddy bear,
IS inches high and looking when full
grown like the toy.
Even smaller is the vest pocket
deer, which measures 7 inches from
hoof to horn.
There is lizard that Aips off its
tail at will.
There is a plant so sensitive that
it flattens itself against the ground
when one stamps near it, but yet so
strong that it resists the hercest ty-
phoons.
Brushes Teeth.
There is the hygienic monkey, so
careful of his health that after every
meal and before going to bed at night
he repairs to the nearest stream and
brushes his teeth with the aid OF the
first finger on his right hand.
There is the bird which sleeps up
side down.
But then" Mr. Wells concluded,
everything is upside down in the
Malay jungles.

CONVERSATION
By THOMAS K a
Dean Of Men, University bf
Illinois.

TT is generally conceded, / believe.
4 that the gentle art Of letter-wFiting,
which Once hOurished so freely. has
been lost. am convinced that the
equally refined art OF CONVERSATION
disappeared with it or Il gradually
doing 50.
The Boston train on which / was
going from Chicago to Albany was 7
crowded with college students return
ing to their work after the Christmas
vacation. There were young fellows
bound for Cornell and Harvard and
'Tech," and all Of the well-knOwn col
lege shops Of New England. There
we're young women returning to
Wellesley and Smith and Radcliffe
and they were all talking continuously.
They were not commonplace under
graduates, and they admitted It. The
young fellow across the aisle from me
spent his leisure moments In reading
a monthly magazine, and the young
woman sitting next to him confessed
that at the various educational insti-
tutions which she had attended she
had been introduced to four foreign
languages and that she had something
more than a speaking acquaintance
with at least two OF these. Yet their
conversation never was interesting,
never rose above the eommOnest, most
ordinary plane. It was chatter. silly,
~fOrceIess drivel.
There Is a delicate art In converse
ton which is well worth learning. II
takes infinite skill to listen g~raciOusly,
to drop In the right word when the
talk lags, or needs to be turned IN
another direction. It Is q rare quality
that enables one, especially q woman,
to keep conversation interesting and
yet divert It from unkind personalities
and vulgar, common gossip. It is dif-
heUlt to carry on q conversation long
without getting on to people and with
out saying things that would scarcely
be uttered If the individuals referred
to we're present
) There Is little substance and n'
unity In the ordinary conversation j
requires only a limited Acquaintance
with words and the frailest stock o
ideas to carry it on, whether the scen'
be in L street a or a card party o.
: about a fireplace. A conversation be
tween intelligent people ought to b
. helpful, stimulating, inspiring. ]
should b. a real exchange Of connect
t ed ideas pleasantly expressed. Wha
it really Is you can determine for your
self by listening thOughtfully to til
s. next conversation you hear betwee
d two or three people and then analyz
ing It. You'll be surprised and PEI
haps disappointed

A VICTORY FOR Law ENFORCEMENT

Verdicts for the defendants, Sheriff James
Smith and two of his deputies, in all three damage
suits brought by Higgins and others, in district
court Friday, is a distinct victory for law enforce
ment officers in this state.
This has nothing whatever to do with the fact
hat the plaintiffs in the actions had committed
no crime and were engaged in lawfully traversing
the highway, as they had a right to do.
Judge Law in his instructions to the jury COW
cred this point quite clearly when he pointed out
the fact that if the jury found that the officers
were acting in good faith in the discharge of their
sworn duties, no action for damages could lie for
mistakes in identity.
The officers had reason to believe, and evidently
did believe, from descriptions which they had been
furnished of two automobiles and from the &C
lions of the drivers in failing to halt upon demand,
that the cars in question were engaged in violating
the law, i. e.: transporting liquor.
They were therefore justified in taking any
necessary action to apprehend the drivers. And
they pursued the two cars, shooting at the tires.
A judgment against the officers would have
been an almost irreparable blow to the enforce
ment of the prohibition act and would have acted
as a powerful deterrent to every officer engaged in
the apprehension of suspected criminals.
Such a judgment would have enabled every law
violater travelling in an automobile when ordered
to halt by officers to step on the gas and thumb
his nose at the law. The officers would have
feared to shoot at him lest they be mistaken and
become liable for damages.

THE NAVY TODAY

Upon another page is a comprehensive article
dealing with the United States navy, telling of
the many opportunities afforded young men to
learn any of the 55 trades in which specialists are
required to maintain Uncle Sans first line of de-
tense.
The article is from the pen of Lieutenant Com
mander J. T. Alexander, in charge of the naval
recruiting office at Salt Lake City and is there
fore authoritative.
The writer knew two young men who went
around the world with Fighting Bob Evans during
the Roosevelt administration. These boys went
into the navy as unframed youngsters, coming out
as experts, one in electricity and the other in
plumbing. With the knowledge acquired and the
money saved from their pay they returned to theil
home town and established a plumbing and cleo
trical business as partners.
No better training school can be found than tn
United States navy. It offers a splendid oppOr
tunity to young men who have no fixed ambition
in life.

- eA

where no sproletariat' exitss. Those who are fear
full of communist u~prisings in the United States
are afraid. of something chat cannot happen until
the faith of the American people in their ~institu-
tions have been more effectively undermined than
it is now. The present danger lies in another de
rection.
"The institutions of this country make it unnec-
essary to have bloodshed in order to effect the
overthrow of our form of government, and the
complete betrayal of every idea and ideal for
which this country stands. Whoever can make a
conquest of public opinion in the United States
can capture the nation. The federal Constitution
offers some obstacles in its bin of rights, but
once a president is elected on a platform holding
that the supreme court has no power to declare
invalid any executive or legislative action in viO-
lation of the. reserved rights Of the people, that
impeachment can be quickly swept away, if need
be by mere presidential fiat.
"The sole defense of American institutions is in
a public opinion which co%mprehends, appreciates
and stands up for them. Let that opinion become
misguided and the nation itself win veer from the
course upon which it was set by the founders.
cit is not enough to counter-attack these assail-
ants of fundamental Americanism. The guarantee
of the continued faith of Americans in our form
of government lies in the affirmative appeal. 1t
is necessary to hold up before the American peo-
pie the ideals, traditions and beliefs in which our
institutions are embedded to create wider famil-
iarity with the wise words and brave deeds Of the
heroes and sages who have made and kept us 3
nation, and i~neulcate constantly a growing love Of
country in an era when the teaching is all too
common that patriotism is the mark of narrow
minds. Thus may we avoid the danger of a peace
full revolution through the poisoning of men'i
minds, which would as completely extirpate tn,
republic Of Washington and Lincoln as if it ha,
been violently torn down by blOody-handed trea
son."

mission, one will be held in Montana,
according to E. G. ToOmey, counsel
for the Montana railroad commission
w. L. Stockton, president Of the

commission to discuss the campaign
which viii be made to prevent dis
continuance Of the preferential rate

It is proposed to make a canvass 81

efforts to continue the present rates.
It is expected that, if any hearings

early in July.

A N HELD BACK
Great Falls Tribune)

The Billings Gazette quite consistently asks the
question-What do the various oil companies of
the state of Montana expect to do with the gaso-
line tax which they collected during the first quar-
ter of 1925 and which has not been turned over to
the state treasurer?
The amount Of money so collected is about
$135, 200. One company has paid its collections
from this source into the state treasury. One
other company has decided, we believe, to make
payment with a protest pending a decision upon
the constitutionality of the old gasoline tax law by
the highest court.
The interesting question is what dc the oil COM
panies expect to do with this money provided the
old statute is finally declared unconstitutional ?
The people of the state certainly will not consent
that they keep this cash.
On the other hand, it will be absolutely impos-
sible for them to turn it back to the dealers and
bring about a redistribution to the consumer in
this way. That would be physically impossible.
Therefore, why hold back these funds that belong
to the people, whether the statute under which
they were collected be unconstitutional or not?
This money having been paid in taxation, can on
d ly get back to the people through the avenues that
were provided under the old gasoline law in accord
i with the provisions Of which 40 per cent would
n go to the general fund Of the state, 40 per cent Il
the counties, and 20 per cent to the state highway
fund. Both the general fund Of the state and tn
l. state highway fund are sadly in need Of money
In the one case it would reduce a deficit and in tn
it other, it would simply enable a better maints
nance of the federal highways that have alrea
re been built.
o. We understand that the records in Helena sho'
o. that the one oil company has even refused to a
l. low a checking up Of its books covering the cole
tion Of this tax for the first quarter Of 1926
Now everybody wishes to use the oil compani
a. fairly. We have been rejoicing il their prospe
a. ity, but that is no reason why S135,000 Of mon,
1T which belongs to the people should be held back
to the treasures Of these various companies.

THE CONSTITUTION

President Coolidge has taken the stand that the
American Constitution should be taught in Amer
lean schools. And he is meeting with commenda-
ton from all over the land.
True, the Constitution has been taught" for
many years as a part of American history.
But its teaching has been perfunctory. Too Of
ten it has been passed by as too dry and u%ninter-
esting for study, with the result that the student
has a very hazy idea as to Just what this great
charter. of liberty really means to the individual.
Lack of proper understanding Of the rights and
guarantees to the citizen under the Constitution
is general.
To this fact is probably due the many encroach-
ments upon our personal liberty which have al
ready been made and many more which vOciferous
minOrities are awaiting an opportunity to put
over.
And unless students in our public schools are
given thorough instruction by teachers who IN
derstand the Constitution and believe in its pro
visions, its overthrow and the end Of the Ameri
can republic as now constituted is only a matte
of time.
George B. Lockwood, in an editorial in the Ma
tional Republic for June, declares that this ma
ton stands in no immediate danger from violen
revolution But he points out the danger t
American Institutions through subverted or mis-
guided public opinion. He says:
