HENRY FORD SEEKS

to contain about 60 pounds of lead.
And, if rumors prove to be true, it
soon may be that when a Montanan

his automobile may be close to its

For rumor has it that Henry Ford
has entered the west in his search for
raw materials which he use in such
huge quantities. 1t is said that he IS
engaged in. prospecting for lead in the
Lemhi district, just a short distance
south Of the Bitter Root valley.
The tale came to Misscula fast on
the heels of the announcement that
a highway was to be built from Sal
mon City, Idaho, to the Montana line,
at the top of the Big Hole mountain.
This highway, it is said, win do much

it is said, the information leaked out
that Henry Ford was behind the prof

Confirmation Of the announcement
that the proposed highway had re

of forest service and bureau Of pub

E. Theme, district engineer of the
forest service, who attended the meet

The highway was agreed on two
years ago, but was not put through
because the bureau of public roads
and the forest service could not agree
on the standard of road to be built.

NEAR-WAR EXISTS
ON RED FRONTIER
Sanguinary Raids Frequent
on Western Border-Death
Penalty for Crossing Line.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

Correspondence OF The Star and the Chicago
Daily News.
PARIS, France. september 13.-The
red frontier which separate Western
civilization from Soviet Russia is
probably the most interesting and GER
tainly the most dangerous interna-
tional boundary in the world. Except
at four or five points where. under
strict surveillance, trains are allowed
to pass. it is closed along its entire
length from the Arctic to the Black
Sea. Any one observed trying to
cross surreptitiously IS fired upon.
AS il is an almost entirely artificial
boundary devoid OF natural demarca-
tions it is exceedingly difficult to
guard. The difficulty is increased by
the fact that it frequently divides
rural communities that for centuries
have been in close relationship and
that on both sides of il are mixed pop
ulations Of doubtful loyalty. On the
Soviet side 1t is patrolled night and
day by a special corps. which Is in
reality the pick of the red army. In
most Of the western border states
similar crack patrols keep constant
vigil with field telephones at every
outpost ready to give instant alarm.

Edward e Bartlett, former presi-
dent of the New York Cotton EX-
change, considers that the last Gov
crnment cotton report has convinced
tho cotton trade of the futility of the
present system of mid-monthly crop
estimates, and has demonstrated that
the early season estimate of the crop
reporting bureau is nothing more
than a guess" What was theoret-
ically intended for a service and guide
10 the trade, he said. has proved in
practice "A failure and positive detrt-
ment, due in all probability to the
impossibility of the task. The only
purpose an early estimate serves, he
asserted, was to demoraliZe the mar
ket periodically.

al reflection after having seen a great
deal of life on our own side and some
thing, of the other. One thing is that
while we lack in historical settings,
ancient buildings and such things OF
charm we have what is far more I'M
portant-a wider, happier, more pros
porous living status for the common
people. They all admit that on the
other side. And most of them espe-
cially the young and adventurous,
would like to come over with us. Per-
haps part of this is due to our greater
resources, the fewer of us to enjoy
them, the democratic tradition of
equal opportunity, and the American
commercial and industrial system,
creating work and means for all.
And another thing is that to an Am
erican his own people are kinder,
more democratic and better company
than any other people on earth. They
have quicker minds and they have
more go and class.

A Sad Sight
The number of women cigaret adj
diets YOU SEQ abroad and on the
steamers is amazing. All ages hit the
little pills but the saddest sight of all
is to see some dolled-up old grandma,
short skirts, bobbed gray hair and
cosmetized complexion putting away
ON a Gold Flake. They all carry their
little ornamental cases and pull a lot
of devil-may-care poses. 1t may be all
right but the average American man
even though he might smoke with
them, would privately think ID
sight more of them if they would cut
out the tobacco and drink. Of course
you see hundreds of women who do
neither and you see lots of women
who punish an inordinate amount OF
cocktails and seem none the worse for
it. Somehow you are just as well
pleased the smoking-drinking kind are
not women folks of yours. Most of the
men express the same beliefs-to each
other.
