ROUNDUP Opening
DELAYED BY SUIT

Civil proceedings in the courts
threatened fer a short time to prevent
the use of the Roundup grounds Mon
day but the opening performance was
begun about an hour late after Judge
Law vacated a Judgment brought last
spring by M. S. Cunningham and
Hans Biering against the roundup as
ISOLATION, and setting the date for
the hearing in the matter for Monday,
August 10.
The sheriff had received the writ
Of attachment and locked the gates
at the stadium, holding thousands
from entering the place for than
two hours. The order Of the count
automatically allowed the sheriff ia
remove the padlocks and the crowds
streamed into the bleachers and

as well as that of the state inasmuch
as their limited knowledge Of agri-

County Committees.
The land settlement program calls
for a committee of five men IN each
county consisting of the county agent
or Smith Hughes man, a farm leader,
two business men and a reliable pub
licity agent to whom new settlers can
be referred for authentic information
and all possible assistance in getting
settled-a poster giving the personnel
Of this committee to be displayed IN
various public places in the county
for the benefit Of settlers who may
come in without any mean Of ac-
quaintance. These committees are
to serve without pay and in the besf
interests of the state, investigating
and reporting to headquarters al
colonization projects in thei cOun
ties, as we'll as in assisting individua
settlers.
The program does not intend t
hamper in any way the real estat
business CT the state other than Sc
that all representations by such firm
are fair. 1t will, rather, in tina
sense support and protect every legit
innate real estate business.
The program also aims to lend as
sistance in furthering cooperation i
farm communities in the productio
and marketing Of products; gatherin
! soil survey information for each coul
ty; and in securing the passage

safeguard public and private int

Practically all Of Montana's counties

purpose Of participating in the event
which will decide which Montana girl,
chosen as a representative Of her

honor Of Queen Of Montana and rep

the four-day whirl incident to the
contest at the State fair the Ameri-
can Legion is planning on intrOduc-
ing the Queen to several the cities Of
Montana prior to the national conven-

The social events at Helena, Omaha
and Tulsa will be the most brilliant

NEW TYPE ROAD
Experiments in Cinder and OH
Crown Are Under Way
at Billings

BillingsZWOrk was started Satur-
day on a new form Of road surfacing,
which, if it proves satisfactory, will
probably be used on many unpaved
streets IN the city. The experiment
is being tried out. on North Twentieth
street from First avenue to Sixth
avenue and consists in surfacing the
road with about five inches of Gin
ders which are mixed thoroughly
with the dirt of the road and after
the surface is well packed a residue
oil is applied.
"The experiment right now is to
determine how the cinders will mix
with the soil here" said E. NJ. Sneck-
enberger, city engineer, who is n
charge of the work, "and to find out
if this type of road surface will prove
satisfactory under the local drainage
conditions"
MI. Sneckenberger returned recent
" from Great Falls where II miles
Of streets are surfaced in this manner
and it has proven very satisfactory
there, he said. One OF, the Difficult
ties to be encountered here, however
is the matter of drainage, because
Great Falls is slightly slOping while
Billings is built upon a flat. The ex.
pertinent en- Twentieth street will b
watched closely and it will probably
be some time before any definite con
clusion can be arrived at on the new
road surface.

he was elected department comm9nd-
er. He took a leave Of absence from
the ScovilI Manufacturing company to
devote himself exclusively to Legion
work.
Great strides in helping the dis
abled in Connecticut were made under
his inspiration and guidance. He or
ganized IA new posts and brought his
department from forty-ifth to second
in percentage of membership gain over
the preceding year. He made a speak
ing tour of the state on behalf of the
Legion program, delivering from one
to four speeches daily for forty-fiye
days. Then after three nights Of rest,
he was off again, this time on a seven
ty-two-day schedule He visited every
post in his department and a number
of cities where posts were being or
ganized.
At the annual department conven-
ton last fall Armstrong was r~e-elect-
ed. He had made strenuous protest.
But the delegates staged a demonstra-
ton for him in Wild West style and
put him back in his job. At the ma
tional convention in st. Paul in 1924
he was chosen as one Of the five ma
tional vice commanders. He resigned
as department commander in order to
devote himself to his work in the ma
tional field. And now he is busy again
with his work for the disabled, devot-
ing himself to the American Legion en-
dowment fund for the disabled and the
orphans of the war.

much harm can be done by ill-htting
frames. Spectacles worn constantly,
as Is usually the case with old people,
or those with a serious eye defect,
are apt TO cause considerable irritation,
and very likely will do so, unless they
are made to fit the face and are SO
adjusted as to cause no friction or
Irritation of the skin. This Is espe-
cially important in old persons, as the
skin in old age becomes more sensitive
and more apt to be permanently In
jured by pressure or scratching.
There are three points where spec
tacIes, If not properly fitted, may
aus trouble. These are the bridge
of the nose. where the bridge of the
spectacle frame rests. the ears, where
the wires hook behind the ears. That
spectacles cause irritation at these
points is shown by the fact that we
frequently see old people who have
wrapped the bridge, the sides or the
tips of their spectacles with tape.

prevent rubbing.
Any rubbing or scratching of the

even mild, may cause the skin to be-
come infiamed and finally produce an
ulcer. These ulcers, in the old. are

If your spectacles fit, they won't
cause any trouble. If they don't, get

Safety or Disaster
Matter of Speculation

An amusing story is told illustrating
the comforts of sea travel of a genera
ton or SO ago. 1t concerns a nervous
old lady who booked a passage aboard
a tramp steamer bound from an east
African port to Karachi.
After a few days at sea a terrific
storm broke. and the ramshackle
tramp steamer began to reel and
plunge violently. Clutching her way
along the deck, the passenger presently
reached the captains cabin, where
she found that worthy mariner
porting over a dirty piece of parch-
ment.
"Are we safe?' she gasped.
MADAME" replied the skipper, you

CaUe Pictures Seen as

That there is little new under the

fashions. was pointed out by Ethbert
Brand, curator Of the Rotterdam
(Eng.) museum in the course of a re-
cent lecture. Referring to an nlustra-
ton of ome dancers on the walls
Of a Spanish ave. he said these palae-
olithie bellies were very neal to the
~present-day women with their high
hats, chignons. tight waists and bell
shaped skirts. These cave pictures
were probably the earliest fashion
plates in the world, and we're drawn
about 10000 years ago. declared Mr..
Brand.
Another illustration from Spain
showed a costume very much akin to
that of the modern flapper.

t FOR HEALTH

TASTING, or the voluntary abstain
Il ing from food for a certain period
or a certain number of days, is an old
custom. Whether it originated through
necessity or choice, it is usually found
as a religious observance. 1t is prac-
tically universal.
Savage tribes haves certain days on
which food is taboo. The remains of
ancient civilization, such as Assyria
and Nineveh. Babylon and Egypt.
show that fasting was a part Of the
religious life of these early peoples.
The jews tasted often, as the Old
Testament shows. The early Chris
tians considered fasting an important
part of their religious duty. In the
Middle Ages, fast days were frequent
ly ordered by rulers or priests to pre-
vent or check pestiIence, wars, floods
and other calamities.
Practically all the religious orders
Of monks and nuns required fasting
as a part of their discipline. Fasting.
meditation and prayer" were the three
duties which the young candidate for
admission to any of these orders had
to assume.
The observance of Lent, a forty-day
period Of self-denial by all good Chris
tians, includes a partial fast in the
form of a greatly reduced diet, with
occasional days of complete fasting.
Catholics observe Friday by abstain
ing from meat, which is merely a sur
yival of the earlier custom % marking
the day Of Christ's. death by a COM
plete fast.
Fasting is common in all religions.
Buddhists and Mohammedans fast

tians. On certain fast days. the pious

out food and water but will not even
swallow his own saliva. from sunrise
to sunset.
The object of fasting as a religious
observance Is to purify the soul. But
many men for many centuries have
claimed that fasting was also a valu-
able method Of curing disease, that
going without food stimulated the
body, increased its power of resist
ance and made 1t possible to cast on
certain accumulated poisons. What
ever truth there may be in these
ideas, it is probably true that, barring
eases of extreme poverty and malnu-
triton, most of us eat too much and
q ais a habit rather than from neces-
sity. But the difficulty in proving
anything on these questions is that
