Hands OFF for
State Chemists

Helena, April 5.-Chemists or ex-
perts of any of the units Of the Uni
versity of Montana canot engage in
research work Of q character thai
would result in their going voluntar-
lily in the courts as witnesses N civil

This attitude was expressed by the
state board of education Monday
night while considering the demano
upon the board by Hartman G. Ford,
counsel for the Belt Valley Protective
association, in its suit against the
Silver Dyke Mining company in con-
neetion with the pollution Of the wat
ers of Belt creek.

siderable length after the board had
heard read letter from the law firm
protesting against the refusal Of the
State college 70 provide state chemE
ist to analyze the waters Of the
stream and to act as an expert in the
pending court action.
Chancellor Brannon explained that
the association had been advised that
staff members could not be permitted
to engage in research work leading to
and he expressed the con-
viction that is was absolutely impos-
sible to permit the agricultural dept.
Of the college to enter into police
work.
On motion Of Robert c. Line, tho
board directed that the association be
advised that It cOncurs in the letter
Of Manch 1s, written by Chancellor
Brannon in which he expressed the
limitations Of the college work along

What Tomorrow Means to You
Cancer.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
reations peculiar to a Sunday. They
denote an atmosphere of contentment
and tranquility, without displaying
any tendency Of urge in the fields of
achievement. Ambition will be dor
mant. Activities, with any special
goal in sight. will be diSCOura ged.
This is one of those days that will en-
able you to relax and to rest, especial
ly in a mental way, and should serve
to fit you for the struggles of the
coming days of work and worry.
Children born tomorrow will not, in
spite of strong constitutions. display
any visible or external signs of robust
health during infancy. They will be
ailing, although none of their illnesses
will justify alarm or cause anxiety.
Before reaching the age of adde's
cence, however, Vigor and strength
will assert their role. and development
along these lines will finally lead to
a strong adulthood. Their DISPOSE
tons will be Secretive and eyasive.
They will not possess that frankness
and righteousness which is so often
the charm of childhood. They will be
inquisitive, as we'll as retrospective.
many traits that will be disquieting
and displeasing. What they ultimate
ly become will depend entirely on
home environment and parental in
fluence
If tomorrow is your birthday you
possess a very comma nding personal
ity, although by no means an attrac-
tive one, and generally rule by sheer
force of will You do not set much
store by tact or diplomacy, and are
an inveterate foe of compromise in
any form. Your methods are direct
and aggressive. You overcome all
obstacles by grim determination and a
driving power that is unassailable.
You always mean What you say. and
are stranger to the use of words for
the concealment Of thoughts. You
are absolutely sincere and brutally
frank: opposed TO all hypocrisy or
make believe" Your friends value
your friendship, your enemies are
never in doubt as to where YOU stand.
The former give you their full con-
f1dence and the latter steer clear of
you.
You love very deeply, but are not
demonstrative You display your AT
lection by consideration and thought
fulness. aided by strong conception
of duty. You do not deem 1t neces-
sary to give verbal expression to your
sentiments, as you foolishly, perhaps,
think this superfluous.
Well known persons born on that
date are: John Stephenson. manu-
facturer: Stephen c. Foster. song
composer: Felix Angus. soldier and
journalist: Calvin Coolidge, President
of the United States; Sophie Irene
Loeb, writer and social worker;
George Conan, actor.

Clues to Character
Broad Heads, Broad Minded.
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.

Men with broad heads organize and
systematic operative schemes to a de.
gree that is unusual with those who
possess the narrow type. This is due
to perseverance, initiative, originality
and constructive ability.
Men with broad heads are generally
broad minded. 1t is seldom that
man who possesses a broad brain is
not a renutahle success in whatever
department of endeavor he may have
chosen. They are builders OF things
and like to he in business, as they
have the trading instinct we'll devel-
oped.
The man of the broad head is usu-
ally capable and able to take care of
himself and to provide for those de-
pending upon him. His mind runs
toward the practical things Of life.
rather than the metaphysical and alb
stract. They are inclined to be in
dustrious and to be good workers.
Thinking out schemes and means
of accomplishment causes the brain
to expand laterally, and this accounts
for the extra cranial breadth The
term broad" means one that is wide
from side to side. The wilderness is
caused by the development of the side
region of the head. where are located
the motive faculties which make for
accomplishment, thoroughness and ac-
tive work.
These characteristics apply to the
typical broad head, the one that is
developed in width evenly and in due
proportion from forehead to baae.
