INDUSTRIAL GAIN
BUSINESS IN MONTANA ON THE
UPWARD TREND
CONTINUATION IN JUNE LIKELY
Improvement Reflected In Agriculture,
Mining, Oil industry, LAUNDERING
and Railroad Construction

The United States department o.
agriculture has issued survey repor
which shows that Industrial conditions
In Montana on the whole were on q
gradual upward trend during May
with an indication OF continuance OF
this condition during June. The re.
port says in part:
Increased seasonal activities ab-
sOrbed virtually all resident labor In
Montana heretofore unemployed Sew
eral hundred workers were employed
for hand work In the sugar beet fields
particularly in the Billings Sidney and
Chinook districts. Having to COM
mence Immediately will provide en-
ployment for a considerable number
OF additional agricultural workers,
who are reported vareiy ample to meet
requirements. A gradual increase in
activity was reported In practically all
metal mining districts
"Oil field activities continue to show
an increase. particularly In the Kelvin
Sunvurst fields. There are large rail-
road construction programs under way,
Including the laying OF new steel and
bridge work. Other construction IN
der way includes a $1.0O0OOO hotel in
Glacier park on the shore Of WatertOn
lake, an extensive program of tele-
phone construction work. and a can
merry plant at Red Lodge. Municipal
afford employment TO
large number OF chiefly unskllied
laundering continues quite
active. Highway construction In
creased during May, with further in
creases indicated for June. Railroad
shop employment reported steady;
maintenance-of-way employ
ment increased.

Movies over the air Is the next
great achievement Of radio engineers
Moving pictures viii flash across
the continent at the dizzy speed of
1850 miles a second. the speed Of
light, And they will appear on a
screen In natural colors in the homes
OF millions Of radio users.
The introduction OF the radio-visIon
receiving set heralds a new era for
radio sciencei
An unpretentious cabinet converts
radio waves into light and shadows.
This remarkable transformation is
accomplished by means of lamp con-
tained In the box. This lamp lights
and extinguishes a half million times
q second.
A disk or ring, containing small
lenses around It's outer edge, Is con-
tanned in this box. The purpose Of
this disk Is to chop up the light and
shadows into lines and adjacent sue
cessive lines.
Motor In Set.
A small electric motor, likewise con-
tanned in this box, revolves the lens
carrying disk.
A white screen, which may be held
In small picture frame, is placed
on the wall receiving the motion pic
ture.
The light from the lamp inside Of
this box, or small cabinet, Is reflected
onto the miniature screen through a
slit arrangement by means of a prism
reflector, placed on top Of the box.

At meeting Of large landholders

II was decided that as soon as the con-
tract with the government relative to

By the Great Northern to bring settlers

@. Francis Jenkins is the inventor
Of the lamp which performs the won
derful task Of Transforming radio
waves TO light and shadows by light
ing and extinguishing itself half mill
lion times a second.
aAodern Aladdin Lamp
This marvellous globe has earned
for itself the name of the modern
Aladdin lamp"
The Jenkins radio-vision lamp oper-
ates on the Wheatstone bridge prin-
ciple. whereby a little change in cleo
trio voltage gives large change In
light finx or flow.
This lamp bears q relation similar
TO the function performed by a SEN
sitive mineral used at the radio-vision
transmitting station.
This sensitive mineral-pOtassium
for instance the motion pic
ture at the sending station into cleo
trical values for transmission on a
radio carrier wave.
The Jenkins radio-vision lamp re-
verses this process changing the cleo
trio current back to picture values.
Once motion pictures by radio are
introduced into thousands of homes,
this lamp will be as commonplace
as the electric light bulb or radio
vacuum tube.

Use good insuIators and solder all
connections In the aerial.
Headphones should be bought=feE
their ampere turns and not the resist
ance.
Buried metal plate or pipe driven
in moist earth can be used as the
ground.
Metal dIals usually increase the
mlcrofarads.
A common cause Of distortion In
audio application Is poorly designed
transformers.
The length of the aerial Is meas
ured from the extreme end, and In
cludes the lead-In and ground wire.
Radio signals are better 800 miles
from a broadcast transmitter than
they are 300 miles, because fading Is
less and the signal strength is slightly
greater.
One way to stop a radio nuisance
a neighbor who permits his set to o.
cillate continually-is to have a peti.
ton signed and sent to the supervisor
Of radio In the district.
Nearly all interference producers
are Of the regenerative type in the
hands Of an inexperienced operator.
It is needless to expect good work
from a set unless the prongs Of tubes
are making absolute and firm contact
with the tube socket springs. The
least looseness OF contact means
trouble.
Antenna and ground leads to the set
should be as far apart as possible.
Keep one at right angles to the other

The Fulton-Byrne No. IL well in the
Kevin-Sunburst field Is regarded a'
one OF the best oil producers In the
state.
A. c. Grove Is drilling a second well
on the Red Dome Of Carbon county, II

Is down over 800 feet.
Drilling has been resumed at the
Fenholt well at Winifred. Work on
the well was temporarily halted while
titles to certain Of the adjoining land
were cleared.
Drlllers at the Great Northern Mu-
tual test well north Of Vaughn expect
to reach the Madison limestone soon.
Already several light oil showings
have been found.

THE BUDGET MACHINE

Some people like to have fortune eIIers or crystal
gazerS tell them what the future holds in store Others
like to plan what they want the future to bring them
and then set about to make the plans true.
For this second group, the budget machine at the
Womens World Fair in Chicago is of interest. This
machine. devised by the head OF the home economics
department OF a large bank enables its manipulation to
tell instantly what any given family should spend for
food. clothes, rent, welfare and reserves wife ap
proaches the home economies expert and tells the fam
lily income and the number Of children; the machine
and the expert then give her facts and good advice
The average family according to. some Of these
facts should spend for rent apply the purchase
Of home weeks salary month. It should spend
for upkeep-heat, light laundry telephone ice. ETC.
half the amount spent for rent 1t may spend for food
about onefth of its income. and for cloths onetenth
When this schedule is followed closely possible
1t leaves the family another tenth for such things
radio, gifts, recreation and church collection. One
tenth is also available for Insurance. savings
investment and income tax payment.
1t sounds bit Oracular without specific figures
But it's lead in the right direction. And before
the family that prefers to make It's future, rather
than have it revealed by a sOOthsayer, will do we'll
take up The budget machine seriously.

OUTCOME OF BOOZE HEARINGS

The result of the liquor hearings at Washington,
from the wet standpoint, must be considered disap-
pointing. They have not gained what they sought In
spite Of the deIuge of evidence they submitted of
the benefit Of the hearings have accrued
the drys.
The vets forced the hearings and largely deter
mined their character. They submitted vast amount
of testimony dscredtable prohibition enforcement,
but not much dscreditable prohibition in principle,
a national policy.
The scope of their drive was over-es,imated. They
made plea for whiskey gin, and for the sa-
loon. The most they urged was mild beer and wine
under government supervision. And from the public
reaction TO the testimony. for the present. at least,
there is indication Of their getting that-not even
near-beer
1t may be that the next congress, or the one after
will seriously consider plea for liberal inter-
pretaton Of the Eighteenth Amendment allowing beer
as strong it may be without becoming Intoxicating
in fact" say from to per alcoholic. But that
is about all.
Against the remote possibility and the slight cheer
it gives the vets may be reckoned the big reaction
to the testimony Of both sides. which urge toward
vigorous enforcement OF the present prohibition
act. There is mistakng that. The vets have ask
ed for drink with mild kick in it. and they are get
