SUBJECTS FOR THE VOTERS AP-
PROvAL AT THE FALL ELECTION

= -
In addition TO elScting congress-
men, snpreme court justices. a rail-
road commissioner and various e0am-
ty officers, the voters Of Montana
win express their views on four aR
the measures at the fall eleetion,
Two are initiative, one 3 refsrsndum
and ons proposed constitutional
amendment.
Constitutional Amendment
The 1926 legislature proposed the
amendment Of the constitution to
provide a county unit system Of hail
insurance and taxation therefor. I'm
der the measure, the tax would apply
TO agricultural land only. The Iegis-
Iiature would divide the state into dis
tricts between which the rates May
vary according to the risks incurred.
The legislature, If the amendment Is
approved, would determine whether e
or the state board Of equalixAtioa
shall fix the rates.
No county would come under The
plan until q majority Of It's electors
had voted In favor Of submitting itm
lands and crops TO the tax, but tina
present method is retained to the ex-
tent that a land owner In county
which has not accepted the plan a. q
unit, may come in as individual BY
making application in writing.
Would Increase School Tar
There also was passed onto the
people for their decision measure
which would authorize 3 state tax
Of five mills for use Of the public
schools. It's passage, by the pro-
visions Of another measure approved
by the legislature but which did not
require submission to the voters,
automatically limits the district levy
10 q maximum Of 10 mills IN counties
where all third class districts are adj
ministered as one rural district or. 20
mills In other districts.
Prohibition
The first Of the initiative measures
20 be qualified for sEse ballot simapay
provides for the repeal Of all ths
states prohibition laws with the ex-
ception Of those relating to minors.
Gasoline Tax
The second provides for gasoline
tax Of three cents q gallon, the pro-
ceeds 10 be used by the state high
way commission to match federal aid
In the construction and the mainten-
ace Of the federal aid highway syA-
tenn in Montana. The entire amount
would be reserved for use on design
ated highway system which connects
all county seats. The present 2-cent
tax is divided three ways. Fifty-five
per cent goes equally to the counties
for use on roads. Thirty per cent
goes to the state general fund and is
per cent to the state highway fund.
Allocation
A final paragraph in the proposed
measure allocates roughly the expen-
iiture Of the money b. declaring
hat at shall be the duty Of the state
highway commission, in expendins
Iuch money, to carry forward con
Itruction from year to year, XXX SO
ar as it may be possible within
reasonable development Of thA
whole federal highway system with
n the state), in proportion to the
amount Of mileage still to be con-
Iructed in the various sections Of the
system" Distillate would be relieved
rom taxation under the act.

 If only I had some genuine in- terest, some young associate whom I could introduce into Mary's life. to offset these sinister influences. Persistently there came before me the image of young Noel Veritzen. It was not the first time that had wished l could bring about meet ing between my husbands gifted niece and the brilliant but unhappy and disowned son of Philip Verit- zen. It was a fantastic idea and why it had come to me. did not know, save that l was sure the two young things had temperaments, tastes and ideas which would attract each other.
 Enter Hugh Grantland
 But my position in Philip Verit- zen's official family together with my knowledge of the arrangement between him and his son, made 1t impossible for me to take any initia- tive in bringing him into Mary's life. and 1t was with feeling of impotence to help the child in any other way than by guarding her vigilantly as Katherine and I had planned, that finally, exhausted by my vigil, fell asleep.
 So fatigued was I that l did not hear my alarm o'clock, and as l had no regular hours for my work upon the days when I was not scheduled to appear at the VeritZen offices, the members Of my household thought I did not wish to be dis turbed. It was almost noon therefore when Katie's voice sounded excited ly through the door.

Reddy Fox glared up at Mr. Grouse, and Mr. Grouse glared back at Reddy Fox. Mr. Grouse was safely up in tree. Then Reddy Fox turned and glared up at Chatterer the Red Squirrel. and showed all his teeth, and growled, and told what dreadful things he would do to Chatterer. And Chatterer glared back and scolded so fast that his tongue trippled over itself and said all the mean things about Reddy Fox that he could think of made fun of Reddy, and told him that he was glad that MT. Grouse had es- capped.
 But Reddy suddenly remembered Mrs Grouse. He turned his back on Mir. Grouse and Chatterer and eagerly began to sniff under that pile of brush. He was sure that Mrs. Grouse was somewhere under there. How could she be anywhere else? She couldn't fly, because she had been hurt with that terrible gun of the hunter who had come to the Green Forest. Of course, Mir. Grouse had been with her. Now Mir Grouse was up in the tree, so Mrs. Grouse must be somewhere un-, der that brush-pile.
 No longer did Reddy try to be quiet and crafty. He simply began to tear at that brush pile and throw sticks this way and throw sticks that way, pausing every now and then to sniff. At first he smelled Grouse very strongly. Of course. You see, MT. Grouse had left there only few minutes before. But as

Complete Your Sports Wardrobe With a Straight-Line Coat of
 GaiIy Patterned Fur

The smartest furs for sports use are the skins patterned in a definite design such as leopard, chipmunk, civet cat and the myriad stencilled gazelle belts. With the exception of the black and white civet cat, the majority of these gaily pattern cd furs are in the tan. brown and tawny yellow shades-the most sat- isfactory colors for sports wear.
 Sketched today Is straight-line coat of gazelle stencilled in a brown md tan design. Because of the sports nature of this wrap, the collar and cuffs are of the same fur as the rest of the coat The lines, also. are straight and flareless to further accent the tai lored effect.
 The only note of decoration ap- pears on the border which is trimmed with two rows of brown grosgrain piping form of trim ming quite in character with the masculine severity of the other de- tails.
 Almost as decorative as the spotted fur is the lining of tan kasha bordered in henna and white wool embroidery.
 With this youthful coat of stencilled gazelle is worn a small chic hat and a mclon-shaped huff of the same fur.

might have run out on that side. But though he ran this way and he ran that way. with his nose to the ground. he couldn't get the faintest whiff of the scent of Mrs. Grouse.
 Once more Reddy went at that pile of brush. until at last he had 1t all torn to pieces. Mrs Grouse wasn't under it. There was noth- ing under 1t good to eat. "Ha. ha, hal" laughed MT. Grouse up in the tree. "Ho ho, ho! laughed Chat tere- the Red Squirrel. And Sammy Jay, coming up just then. laughed too. although he didn't know what he was laughing about Lots of people laugh when they don't know what they are laughing about
 Black anger filled the heart of Reddy Fox. He knew he was being laughed at and that was bad enough. But 1t was worse not to find that dinner he had been so sure of. It must-it simply must be there somewhere. Reddy sat down to think 1t over. It couldn't be pos sible that Mrs. Grouse was smarter than he. No, sir. Reddy would nev- CT admit that. But where was Mrs. Grouse?

he worked his way under that pile of brush, the smell of Grouse grew fainter and fainter and fainter, until by and by it disappeared al- together. Then Reddy Fox backed out and locked about him with such q puzzled air that Mir. Grouse up above him chuckled
 Were you looking for some one, Reddy?" inquired NIT. Grouse.
 Reddy looked up and glared at MT. Grouse, and if looks could have killed, Mir. Grouse would have dropped right down stone dead. But looks cannot kill. They cannot even hurt. So Mir. Grouse merely chuck led some more. Chatterer the Red Squirrel stopped scolding long enough to chuckle too. This made Reddy angrier than ever. Somehow 1t always does make folks angry to be laughed at when they don't want to be laughed at. Reddy didn't want to be laughed at. He rushed around to the other side of the pile of brush.

1 Pneumonia today is the most seri- ous acute disease with which the l physician is confronted.
 It is due to infection by a germ known as the pneumococcus, which passes with the discharges from the mouth and nose of healthy persons as well as from those infected with the disease. The healthy person is called a carrier
 The disease apparently Is not de- creasing in this country. Sanitari- ans are convinced that overcrowding and other factors of civilization tend to favor it's spread and to make per- sons less resistant The study of many cases indicates that one at tack of the disease does not provide any protection against further at tacks.
 Vaccincs and Serums From time to time various vac cines and serums have been offered to the medical profession with the claim that they exerted specific pro- tective properties against pneumon- ia or that they would make the at tack of the disease lighter.
 Not one Of these vaccines has been established as exerting definite pro- tective power. To protect himself as much as possible against pneumonia the individual must bring his per sonal resistance to the highest pos sible point
 This he does by keeping his body well nourished, by avoiding over-ex- posture to the clements without ade- quate protection for body warmth, by exercising temperance in the use of alcohol which may create false sense of warmth and by protecting himself as far as possible against the sneezing, splitting, coughing and other bad respiratory habits of his neighbors In public. Obviously his methods of protection are not spe- cific and not likely to be 100 per cent perfect.
 Isolation
 In some cities persons with pneu monia are isolated as with other serious infectious disorders. It is hoped by this method to lower great ly the incidence of the disease.
 xThe time has been too short to permit an accurate estimation of the worth of this procedure but there is reason to believe that it's effect may be definitely for good.
 When the person is isolated the utensils, bed-clothing, personal clothing. handkerchiefs. and other material in close contact with him should be sterilized. They should be handled separately to prevent them from contaminating the ma terials used by the remaining mem- bers of the family.
 The persons attending a patient with pneumonia should wear clean gown. which is changed before renewing contact with other per- sons. The hands should be thorough ly cleansed with soap and water be- fore and after attending the pa tient. The room of the patient should be kept as clean as possible and thoroughly aired, washed and summed after the patients recovery.

 ments, etc.. but also to fixtures. not ably some of the extravaycnt cleo tric lighting equipment which ul- timately will decorate the main lobby.

Aadge Receives Two Morning
 Surprise Visitors

I found Mary sound asleep when made my second trip to the third floor. ostensibly to visit Junior, but in reality to assure myself that Dickys tempestuous young niece had put out her light, and that the two corridor doors of her room were securely bolted.
 But it was long time before any sign of slumber came to my own pillow, for I was sorely troubled about Mary. Over and over I con- sidered my fears for her-fears at first vague. which had been growing with the weeks until now they were well defined apprehensions.
 Back of them all was the convic- ton, which Lillian and l shared, that Philip Neritzen's rigid regime, almost .inhuman when applied to girl so young and full of tempera- ment and tempestuous joy of life as Mary Harrison. was an unwise thing, with great possibilities of danger both to the young girl and the plans of the great producer for her future.
 Curbing her natural inclinations thus was like holding down tightly the cover of steam boiler. and l greatly feared that Mary's tempera- ment-and temper--were danger ously near an explosion.
 Jack Leslie's Shadow
 The possibility of this was bad enough in itself without its being complicated by the sinister figure of Jack Leslie, who, I was certain. must be counted as a menacing pos sibility in the youns girls life, al- though he appeared to have dropped out of it. But physically I was aware of the cabaret dancers interest in Dicky's niece and his determination to carry on the acquaintance he al- ready had begun with her.
 Less threatening, but still a source of distinct uneasiness to me was the odd association of the young girl with the queer lodger on the fourth floor. Since my first experience with Mrs. Baker, and

"You're In the Navy Now" said to outclass Behind the Front" and Shoulder Arms" as comedy, is coming 10 the Capitol. Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton are fea- tured.
 The Lyceum theater opens the coming week with a double feature bill which includes Monty Banks in Alta Boy" and Young April" Obviously, the first is comedy while Young April" is a great comedy drama. The featured players are Joseph and Rudolph Schildkraut and Bessie Love. It is the romantic comedy of the love of crown prince and grand duchess in a mythical kingdom. The picture opens with bang as the prince, just be- throthed to the duchess, whom he never had seen, goes to Paris for one last fling as a bachelor.
 For Thursday, as one of the holi- day double feature program, the Lyceum brings Marie Provost in "For Wives Only" This picture is said to 'prove conclusively that no man is as clever as clever woman. It's a tale of man who left his wife in the custody of three friends and almost had cause to regret 1t. It made him realize that the only safe place for pretty woman is steel cage.
 Among the coming attractions an- nounced by the Lyceum are "Pals in Paradise" Peter B. Kyne story, enacted by Marguerite De LaMotte, John Bowers and Rudolph Schild- kraut, and Corporal Kate" with Vera Reynolds as the leading lady. It is a story of woman's part in the war.
