locals which do.

locals which do.
Express
One difference which never
fails to puzzle Americans is the
absence of any service parallel to
the express" in this country,
whereby articles are forwarded
under receipt and attended by
messengers. The only ways to
send articles are through the mails
and by freight. When special at
tention is necessary or when the
article is to be forwarded to an
other country, the services of the
American Express Company or
some local forwarder are usually
called upon. Even then, however,
the forwarder, being unable to
make exclusive contracts with the
railroads, functions only as the
agent of the shipper instead of
common carrier, as in this coun-
try.
Mail
When it is definitely known at
what hotels one will be, and on
what dates, it is usually more
convenient to have ones letters
sent there; otherwise, it is best to
use the foreign offices of some
travel firm like the American Ex-
press Company. Friends should
be warned that only to British
possessions will 2 cents carry
letter; elsewhere, the minimum
charge is cents. The American
Express Company, whose Paris of
flee during the summer rush
handles as high as 10000 letters
a day, states that 80 per cent of
all letters arriving at that office
for patrons, carry insufficient
postage.
Another thing which causes con-
fusion is that no kilograms or let
tiers can be sent collect, so that
when it is expected that cables
will arrive after ones departure,
a small deposit should be left with
the firm in whose address they will
arrive, in order to cover the cost
of telegraphing them on.
Hotels
Hotel customs do not differ
greatly from those in this country,
although it is amusing that the
American plan" of operation is
found far more frequently than
in the land which gave it birth.
Many hotels now make a surcharge
for service, and in many cities and
some countries there are taxes on
hotel bills. These items are not
included in the prices quoted for
accommodations but are added to
the total of the bill, so that if this
is not taken into consideration,
the total will be considerably more
than expected.
The hall porter, or Concierge"
who has no American counterpart,
is an important individual, and
can do much to make ones stay
more pleasant.
Rooms with bath are always ex-
ira, though sometimes during the
rush it is necessary to put some
one who win not pay extra into a
room with private bath. In such
cases the canny Europeans take
care to turn off the water.
Getting About in Town

sion, it is only in England that

CHAMPION MEMBERSHIP
"GETTER" OF MONTANA

Of all the Legionnaires in Montana
who have demonstrated their ability
as membership "getters" for the
Legion, none have surpassed the rec.
ord made by Bill Layton of Red Lodge
who has 35 to his credit.
Bill, in his usual retiring manner
when asked how he did it replied: "a
just ask them for their dues and they
sign up" And Bill isn't any ex-prize
fighter either.
Out of sc members signed up for
the Red Lodge Post, Bill got over
half of them himself.
And that amt that. Bill is still
going and getting members every day.
Oh! that we had few more Bills.
Come on boys, do your stuff and help
Montana win the Lindsey trophy and
beat Florida. We are in the lead now
but it is going to take hard work and
more hard work to keep her in the
lead. Who's next to bring in a mem
better Prom the Montana Legion

A story of fishing trip to Island

which took place last Labor Day,
seven men composing the party, of
which w. w. Flashman of the P. O.
News Stand was a member, has been
sent by Mr.. Flashman to the National

has recently received acknowledge
ment of the story, and assurances that
it will appear in some issue of the
magazine in the near future.
Island Lake is one of the most beau
tiful camp sites in the Beartooths, and
the party took some fine photographs
of their camp and other scenes and
several of these, including one of a
large brook trout which was caught,
will doubtless appear with the story
in the National Sportsman.

European Children
Send Trinkets to
Indian Children

Seventeen sewing bags filled with
needles, thread, thimbles, and mater
ials have just been received by the
Cutbank Boarding School at Brown
ing, Mont, from the Girls School at
Mehagne, Belgium.
These gifts, according to G. w. Sell
lers, Superintendent of the Cutbank
Boarding School, are the result of an
article on American Indian Life which
appeared some time ago in the Junior
Red Cross News and was translated
into French and published in Youth,
the Belgium Junior Red Cross maga-
zine. The article told how clever the
Indians were with their hands, of the
interesting things the boys and girls
could make, but went on to say that
unfortunately the boys had no tools
and the girls had no sewing accessor-
les, The interest aroused by the ar
ticle resulted in the gift of the sewing
bags just received at the Cutbank
school.
To show their appreciation the In
dian children are planning to prepare
portfolio depicting their life in Mon
tana, which will be sent to the Bel
gium school,
This international correspondence
sponsored by the American Junior
Red Cross aims to bring into closer re-
lationship Juniors Of the United
States and foreign countries. Letters
and portfolios are exchanged, and, by
establishing more intimate under
standing between peoples of various
nationalities, the American Red Cross
has taken the first step toward
permanent world peace. The interna-
tional school correspondence is but
one phase of the Junior Red Cross
program. The purpose of the organi-
zation is to inculcate in the minds of
the children of every country the ideal
and practice Of service, especially in
relation to the care Of their own
health and that Of others, the under
standing and expression Of civic re-
sponsibility, and the cultivation and
maintenance of spirit of friendly
helpfulness toward other children in
every country of the world.
