The sortie of the iron-clad Merri-
mac into the federal fleet of wooden
ships in Hampton roads in Civil war
days brought nc greater evolution IN
the navy than have electricity and
steam. Along with changes in hull
construction improved machinery
and higher steam pressures have made
over the naval ships from wallowing
barges into unsinkable fortresses.
Hand in hand with these changes
have brought problems Of personnel.
For the navy as the first line of de-
ferse to use successfully the many
modern inventions has demanded the
intensive education Of its men to keep
abreast with each improved device Tor
maintaining cur navy as second to
none in progress and enterprise.
Take for instance the adoption Of
oil as fuel, no resort could be made ~
the merchant marine personnel as
ccal was then the source Of energy
IN commercial ships.
The navy met its needs by estab-
fishing its fuel oil schools from which
the service has drawn its many in
structors now capable of developing
in few months time, its boiler en-
gineers who can be trusted to the
work of generating steam power.
In radio the navy has led the world
in its communication. The high pow
er trans-oceanic stations, the radio
compass stations on both coasts, It's
telephones and at last automatic re-
ceptiOn and underwater sound signals
are examples Of the navy radio pro-
gress.
All this activity was made possible
by the navy training. From no out
side source could trained personnel be
drawn.
The navy's adoption of electric
drive for its capital ships added K
an already saturated point demand
for electricians. Even today, the two
service schools can not meet the de
mands for qualified electricians, Con
sequently on board each ship ther,
are men under practical training anC
one branch Of f'the navy education an'
study courses. is used to develop cap
able operators.
In every one Of its 55 trades tn
demand for specialists has been tn

Annual Memorial Service Held

Sunday Morning

"Honoring the Memory of the Com

R. P. Smith of the First Methodist
church at the memorial services held
Sunday morning by the Modern
Woodmen and Royal Neighbors.
While the deeds of great men are
remembered and their birthday ami
versaries are observed more or less
elaborately, the millions Of common
citizens whose labors, and whose as
sistsnce made these men famous lest

He pointed out the Importance Of
fraternsl organizations and called at
tentiOn tc their efforts to make the
lot of the common citizen more pleas
ant and to smooth the path of his
loved ones in times of sorrow.
Musical numbers were rendered by
Mrs. H. F. Schwartz and her son, Hen

From penmanship and typing to me-
chanical drawing and motor winding,
the modern blue-jacket keeps abreast
with progress.
A radical change in the instruction
of apprentice seamen has occurred
due primarily to changing naval con-
ditions. The period of training 1t
shore stations has been reduced to
eight weeks. The embryo sea-dcgs
are then sent to training divisions on
board ship where under competent
instructors the finishing touches are
added to the instruction. AS the spe-
cialists have developed, Uncle Sam
has been generous in his acknowledg.
ment Of improved skill by assigning
a liberal pay and liberal retirement
laws as rewards for industry and
progress.
The trained bluejacket of today is
well fitted to assume the trust ant
responsibility of the nations first
line .of defense.

Trial
Case Growing Out of Shooting
Up of Cars in BridgeH
Canyon Settled

After deliberating but 9lshOrt
time the jury in the thre dam
age suits brought again5t Sher-
iff James Smith and no depu-
ties, w. H. PattersODl and Max
Howell, by Carl Higgins, Fred
Rinderknecht and CT. Kirk, in
which Judgment aggfegating more
thai $4,000 was demanded,
brought in a verdict for defend
ants in all cases. A POLL of the
jury showed the verdict to be
unanimous.
The cases were consolidated as the
evidence was identical in each, the
jury being instructed to bring in
separate verdict for each of the three
plaintiffs, fixing the amount of dam
ages awarded, if any, in each case.
The Cause of Action.
Higgins, Rinderknecht and Kirk,
with their wives, were returning from
a dance up Bridger canyon on the
night of June 8, 1923, in two Ford
cars. Near the mouth of the canyon
and about So miles from Bozeman,
they were intercepted by the deputy
sheriffs, who were lying in wait for
two Ford cars reported. to be on the
way to Bozeman with a cargo of
booze.
When ordered to halt by the Off
ce-s, F;Cgins and Kirk stepped on
the gas and speeded for Bozeman, the
officers in hot pursuit, firing at the
fugitives' tires.
The officers said they stepped in
frcc Of The approaching cars, which
they declared answered the descrip-
tion of those they were looking for,
signalled with flashlights, held up
their hands and yelled "Halt!" at the
drivers. They said they were forced
to the side of the road to avoid being
run over. Plaintiffs and all theil
witnesses flatly contradicted these
statements.
Suspected HOldup.
Plaintiffs testified that they did
not recognize the officers, but feared
they were being held up by high
waymen. Hence they endeavored Il
escape.
Higgins was overhauled at the low
er mill and informed he was unde,
arrest but was Immediately released
when his identity was learned.
Kirk said he drove his car to tn
city hall in Bozeman and, still think
ing he was pursued by holdup mer
called for help. Deputy Howell fol
lowed the Kirk car to the city hal
and satisfied himself as to the driv
er's identity.
A tire on the Higgins car was punC
tured by a bullet fired by the depu
ties in their efforts to stop the fug
tives, and this was the only actus
damage shown to have been sustaine
by the plaintiffs.
Sheriff James Smith was not pre-:
ent at the shooting. He declared b
was at Salesville that night and di
not know Of the trouble until the ne7
day. He was made a party to I'll
suit, however, as his deputies wei

The originator of DR.. Pierce'S Gold
en- Medical Discovery for the blood,
as we'll as the "Favorite Prescription
for women, was DR.. Ray V. Pierce, a
practising physician in Western
Pennsylvania right after the Civil
War. He early moved to Buffalo,
n. Y, and established The Invalids'
Hotel, then he put up his home rene
dies in the Worlds Dispensary,
where they were carefully prepared
from roots. barks and herbs, and
placed them with druggists all over
the United States.
For over half century, DR..
Pierce's Discovery. for the blood has
been sold in larger Quantities by
druggists all over the United States
than any other medicine. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is a tonic
in its effect on the stomach and di-
gestive apparatus; an Alternative in
it's action on the blood. liver and
skin. 1t increases the appetite, slim
ulates the digestion. enriches the
blood. clears the skin of eruptions
and blemishes. and makes both men
and women feel as they did when
they were young and care free.

IN THE INTEREST OF TRUTH

Some may feel toward those who
disprove a popular superstition that
they have deprived mortals of an
old if not tried and true companion
to their thoughts. and in some de-
gree experience the sense Of being
bereft. In the interest of truth,
however, they should recognize its
mightiness and hold fast to the con-
clusion that it will prevail, paying
tribute to the courage required to
enable it to do so.
Possibly those who have a dread
Of falling from some great height
have found comfort in the belief that
they would be dead or unconscious
before impact with solid earth. If
so they no longer are permitted to
entertain that solace. 1t required
courage to demonstrate the falsity
Of the theory that those falling q
long distance lose consciousness.
Two army aviators at the Long Is
land field recently risked their lives
in the interest of truth. From a
height of 5000 feet they leaped over
and did not open their parachutes
until they had fallen a thousand
feet. Not many, however. would
care to make similar offer Of them
selves on behalf Of verify.
