tinc.ive touch of the artist, an
American built town car Of daring
and luxurious design drew the great
est crowds at the recent Automobile
Salon in the Commodore Hotel, New
York, where the mOnarchs of all the
motor world We'd for honors.
The whole motif of the Salon was
coach artistry. The predictions of
those who have maintained that the
mechanical perfection in motor cars
has about reached its peak and that
new designers will have to look to
their laurels in the field of artistic
creations were fully borne out.
Every car of the 10 entered in the
assembly of automobile nobility was
resplenCcnt in artistic contour and
striking color schemes.
This effort found capitalization in

expression.
All-steel automobiles are not new
by any means, but heretofore such
bodies have been thought suitable
only for the lower priced motors
where quantity production makes
them more economical. But here
beauty and the protective quality Of
steel are combined.
Probably the most striking thing
about this five passenger town car,
at least that feature which first at
tracted the crowds, was the shape of
the front tenders. Unusually wide,
they spread like the hoods of angry
cobras over the wheels, sweeping
down in the front in a continuous
line to the points of the springs.
Their design was in keeping with
the body, which below a two-inch
indented belt-line of Cleopatra green
set off with ivory pin stripes was an
unusual shade of olive green, while
above was a Brewster green, almost

ARTISTS COURSE
COMING SOON
Muenzer Trio, Second Number of
Artists Course to Be Held
In College Gymnasium
on January Is

The Muenzer Trio, second number
of the State College winter entTtain-
ment series, will be heard in the GYM
nasium On Saturday night, January
10. In the eyes of many local lovers
of music, this will be the outstanding
event of the entertainment series,
since this form of trio has always
been popular with musicians and since
the Muenzer Trio is composed OF mu-
sicians who are true artists.
The trio includes Hans Muenzer,
violinist; Hans KOelber, 'celloist, and
Rudolph Wagner, pianist; Herman De
Vries, writing in the Chicago Ameri-
can, said of this Trio: ''The Muenzer
Tri must be counted among the most
artistic groups of ensemble players.
I can ask no finer chamber music
playing than their Interpretation OF
the exquisite Brahms Trio in c minor,
nor wish to hear ensemble tone Of
greater sweetness and charm"
The program to be offered in BOze-
man by this trio will be:

OLD MYTHS ABOUT
SNAKES BASELESS
SuperstitutiOn Leads to I'm
founded Beliefs in Strange
Habits of Reptiles

Superstitious fear Of snakes has
led to persistent belief in various
baseless myths about the habits Of
different species. The "hoOp snake
and "stinging snake" traditions are
among these. The hoop snake is
credited with the power to form it
self into a hoop and roll in pursuit
of it's victim with racehOrse speed. If
the victim lodges and a tree is struck
by the hoop snake, the tree is said to
be sure to die. That any snake could
place it's tail in its mouth and rcll
along is manifestly absurd and an
atomically impossible, say biologists
of the United States department Of
agriculture.
Singing Snake Myth
The sting-snake myth apparently
originated mere than 200 years ago.
It was based on the appearance of
the horn snake, which is harmless.
The tail of this snake has the shape
Of a horn or spike, but it is quite
incapable Of piercing or singing any
thing.
The so-called glass or jointed
snake, people think, can break into
pieces when struck and reassemble it,
self later if its head has not been cap
tured or destroyed. The animal is
really a legless lizard, which, like
many other lizards, has the power Of
dropping it's tail in escaping from g
pursuer. Because Of its food habits
this reptile is Of considerable value
to agriculture.
Another Wild One
The myth Of snakes sucking cow
is entirely untenable. Anyone whl
has ever MIXED a cow knows that thD
pressure required to obtain a flow G.
milk is far greater than any snakI
!, could exert. Furthermore, 8 snak
has two rows Of recurved teeth Il

STUBBORNNESS
OF British Employers ScOr-
ed BY Premier

London, England - In letters to
coal miners and owners, Premier
Baldwin scores the latter for stub
bornness and their incapacity to ad-
just the dispute.
The mine owners are told that "the
premier profoundly disagrees with
your association in attributing the
troubles in the mining industry to
political interference
The communication to the mine
owners opens with the words: 'The
premier greatly regrets that your as
sociation have thought it necessary to
adopt the uncompromising attitude
conveyed in your letter.
'He deplores your associations ap-
parent inability to recognize it was
quite impossible for any government
to have stood aside in matters where
the national well-being was SO vitality
and disastrously affected.
"Your association appears to show
an inadequate appreciation both OF
the nature of the proposal and the
gravity of the present situation"

last December, the postmaster gen.
eral strongly favored recognizing the
hardships of night work by the es-
tablishment of a pay differential. Two
months later, on February 10, the
postmaster general blandly advised
congress that we was against his own
proposition because it was in con-
f1ict with the financial policy of the
president.
"In sharp contrast to the depart
ment's position on remedial measures
sponsored by the bona fide labor or
ganizations is it's attempt to foist a
far-fetched group insurance project
upon employees. Congress was told
that this proposal was suggested by
representatives of the employees. The
testimony developed, however, that
the idea originated in the postal bu-
reaucracy and was approved only by
representatives of few small groups
of employees who are enjoying special
privileges from the postmaster gen
eral. When congress ascertained
there was no real sentiment for the
|group insurance proposal among the
bona fide organizations it was prompt
ly discarded"

POSTAL WORKERS
Effort to Better Conditions
Blocked By Reaction

Washington. With postal labor
costs lower than at any time in the
departments history the postal adj
ministration resists every attempt of
these employees to improve conditions,
says the Union Postal Clerk. This
publication is the official magazine of
the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks.
While favoring sensible economies
and the curtailment of unnecessary
expenditures, Editor Flaherty says
"the word economy is becoming
shop worm"
1t is serving as an excuse for back
ward looking administrators to deny
rights and just concessions to the
postal workers, says the editor, who
declares that "the pendulum of re-
action has swung far downward" and
that "it is plainly apparent that en-
ployes can not expect sympathetic or
helpful consideration from the pres
ent postal administration in any at
tempt to IMPROVE work standards.
"In his annual report to congress

the estimated wealth, and 13 per cent
of the number of decedents owned
over 80 per cent"
Concentration of wealth diminished
in the later years of the 1912-1922
period, but in counties having city
of more than $4,000 population the
average estate was larger and the
concentration greater.
The concentration in ownership OF
natural resources is most pronounced
In 1922, the summary said, "six COM
panies controlled about one third OF
the developed water power, eight
companies, three-fourths of the un.
mined anthracite coal; two companies
over one-half of the iron ore reserves;
four companies, nearly one-half of the
copper reserves"

MUSCLE SHOALS
Should Be Held By Uncle
Sam, Say Alabama
Workers

Sheffield, Ala. - The leasing of
Muscle Shoals would create great
capitalistic dominion over the people
of the SOUTH" declared the convention
of the Alabama State Federation of
Labor.
The delegates unanimously in
structed officials to write to the presi-
dent, to members of congress and to
VIM. Green, president of the A. F. of
L., condemnation of the efforts of
the power trust and allied interests
which seek to control the Shoals.
Instead of being utilized for broad
benefit, as originally designed, and
for which the hard learned dollars of
American taxpayers were used" the
resolution states, Muscle Shoals is
in the shadow of capitalistic domina-
ton, protected by the dark forces of
political intrigue
"The possession of Muscle Shoals
by private interests that would ex-
plot these great properties for their
own selfish aims is in opposition to
the purposes of the development of
the Shoals and is an insult to the in
tegrity and stability of American
government"
The convention urged each delegate
to give the widest publicity to these
sentiments that this great natural
resource may not be lost to the people

ANTI-LYNCHlNC
BILL DEAD

Washington.-Th federal lynching
bill, introduced in the senate by Mr..
Mckinley, of Illinois, and in the house
by Mr.. Dyer, of Missouri, is killed
for this session. In an executive ses-
sion the senate judiciary committee
voted against a favorable report.
The bill would give federal courts
jurisdiction in lynching cases. Any
county in which lynching occurred
would be liable to a fine of $4,000,
the money to be donated to the family
of the victim.
Opponents of the bill insist this is
an invasion of states rights, and the
beginning of federal interference in
cases that are purely state affairs.
1t is claimed that favorable report
would start a record filibuster in the
senate. The bill has twice passed the
house.

was held in connection with the dedi-

declared.
eve are especially concerned to do
this for our own membership, because
we know that the unintelligent, in the
ranks of labor, are much more likely
to make mistakes, and do things that
are wrong, than are intelligent, well
informed men and women.
Everywhere the trade union move
ment is working to store the minds of
its membership with knowledge, based
on truth and the facts in connection
with the problems of life, to their de-
velopment mentally, so that they will
have the most complete understand
ing possible; also to develop those
higher attributes within them.
II believe that our educational in
stitutions want to lend their assist
ance in solving these questions, and
if they fail, it is because they do not
understand. The labor movement
wants the help of our educational in
stitutions for human betterment."
