The Montana Federal Aid Highway
System consists of 400 miles of
Highways, which, wehn completed,
will place every county seat except
three upon graveled highway built
and maintained according to govern
ment specifications.
By the end of 1926, 100 miles of
this system will have been completed.
The U. S. Forest Service will build
500 miles of the system at the rate
of 80 miles per annum, leaving the
state 2100 miles to construct. The
cost Of the construction OF this mile
age and the maintenance of the sys-
tenn while it is being constructed is
estimated to be $36, $50, 10000. The
Federal Government will extend aid
to the amount of $14,S172 25O.00
Increasing the tax on gasoline from
2 cents to cents and providing that
the revenue shall go 100 per cent to
the Highway Commission, it is anti
cipated that within II years the en-,
tire system can be completed, the
Highway Commission will have suf-
ficient revenue from the gasoline tax
to maintain the entire system with
out cost to the counties.
This is a ''pay as you enter" plan
not one cent will be expended for in
terest, not one dollar will be placed
aside as a sinking fund.
The average annual cost to the
Montana car owner will be $3.50
Obviously gravelled roads reduce ma
terialy the cost of car operation.
Your help and support are invited
and your membership in the Montana
Automobile Association which is
managing the initiated measure cam
paign will be appreciated.

AUTO THEFT
CHARGES
Deputies Comb City for
Stolen Cars After
Recovering Six.

While charges were being prepared
against three suspected automobile
thieves Friday morning, deputy sher-
ifs were combing the city for more
and accessories believed to
have been stolen during the epidemic
of car thieyery which has been raging
here for the last two weeks.
Three men under arrest are suspect
ed of being members Of an organized
band Of car thieves which has been
operating over Texas and Mexico.
Two of the men were arrested at a
place recently rented by them in the
northeastern section of the city. and
the third was taken into custody at
his home on the north side of town.
SIX CARS RECOVERED.
Six automobiles were recovered by
Deputy Sheriffs Tony Diaz, Charles
Peters. Angel Barloco and James
Dwyer. who made the arrests. These
deputies have been working on the
case since last Monday, when Sheriff
James Stevens and Chief Deputy Al
fonse Newton declared war on auto
mobile thieves and strippers. The cars
were found in pairs, in widely separ-
ated sections of the city.
Two Of the recovered cars were re-
ported to have been stolen from DR..
W. NJ. BaSsett. \ kit of physicians
instruments was found in one of the
cars. Ownership of the other cars had
not been established.
\ fourth man who was arrested
Friday is held as suspected car
strippcr. He is not believed, however.
to have any connection with the other
three men.
Another trail that may lead TO
further arrests and disclosures was
opened Thursday night by deputy
sheriffs who discovered a large num-
Der of license plates at a house on
the north side. The license plates, 1t
was said, had been removed from au-
tomobiles reported stolen during the
last month. No arrests have been
made in connection with the recovery
of the plates.

Regulation and Control Of
BroadcaSting to Be
Undertaken.

WASHINGTON. u. c. April 2S
pa renewed effort 10 pass radio
legislation at this session = Congress
will be made by Senate leaders in
order that broadcssting. now virtual
" unregulated, may be brought under
government control.
The recent Chicago court decision.
holding that the Commerce Dsart-
ment has not the authority under eX-
istins laws to assign wave lengths or
require division of time in broadcast
ing, has MADE passage of a radio
control bill urgent. in the opinion Of
Senator Curtis. Kansas. Republican
leader. and Chairman Watson Of the
Interstate Commerce committee, which
now has radio legislation under con-
sideration.
TO CONSIDER BILL.
Chairman Watson probably will
call his committee together in the
next few days TO consider the new
Dill bill, introduced yesterday, which
would set M an independent radio
control commission.
The Chicago court decision,
Chairman Watson said. has demon
etrated TO us that legislation on this
important subject is necessary i'm
mediately. The Interstate Commerce
committee will meet soon TO resume
consideration Of the problem and |
can say for a certainty that We will
report out a bill. Whether il can be
enacted, of course, remains to be
seen
SPLIT IN CONGRESS.
There appears TO be little doubt
that any measure the Senate COM
miftee aIproves win contain a pro
vision for some kind of regulatory
commission rather than placing con-
frd directly under the Commerce De
psrtment. The House. on the other
hand, already has passed the White
bill, which would leave regulation in
the hands of the department, and

thar any measure setting up an in

proved by that chamber.
The new Dill bill would create q
commission Of three members TO be
appointed by the President for five
year terms.
TO PREVENT MONOPOLY.
It would be empowered to revoke
br0adcasting licenses, to prevent .
monopoly Of the air, and TO prevent
stations from charging unjust and dis
criminatOry rates for the use of their
facilities. II also would bring "chain
broadcasting" under strict control and
establish a penalty for SANDER over
the radio.
In framing the new bill, Senator
Dill said it was his purpose to en-
courage development Of radio in such
manner as to attract capital to in
vest in broadcaSting stations. The
way must be opened for stations to
make a profit. he declared. and this
can be done by placing the whole

REFORM OF
CALENDAR

EHRESH stimulus has recently
been given to the reform of
the calendar by the action OF
the committee OF inquiry Of the
League of Nations in calling
representatives of the Roman.
Greek, and other orthodo OK
churches of the East, the An,
glican Church OF Great Brit
ain, and about 100 Protestant
churches to discuss the advisa-
bility Of making Easter a fixed
instead of a movable date. de-
pendent on the ruIl moon. The
first or second Sunday in April
has been suggested.
Further sessions of the com
mittee of inquiry are to be held
soon to make definite recon-
mendations to the League OF Ma
tions regarding plans for cal
endar reform. Enthusiastic sup
port has been given in many
quarters to the plan that would
divide the year into 13 28-day
months. with an extra year day
at the end of the last week In
December. Every four years a
leap day would be inserted at
the end Of June. The change,
1t is said. could be made easily
on January /, 1923. as that will
be Sunday.
Prof. c. r. Marvin. chief of
the Weather Bureau of the
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, Endorses the 13-month
year because 1t would greatly
simplify meteorological and other
scientific records. He points out
also that there are innumerable
advantages to economic, agricul-
tural, civic, educational, and bust
ness interests in having all
months and quarters exactly
alike, and the numbered days of
each month always falling on the
same day of the week. Many
difficulties now existing In COM
piling accurate comparative sta
tistics, in accounting, banking,
or computing interest would be
done away with.
An interesting fact in connec-
ton with the proposed calendar
Is that it harmonizes in many
respects with the plan of the
old calendar used by the Israe-
lites.

INSECT SLAUGHTER
By Garrett P. Seryiss

; How countless the muItitudes,
then, that hover over the thous-
ands OF square miles through
which the roads run. And around
houses, stables and farm yards
they are often as thick as stars
in the Milky Way.
But the birds suffer, too, which
Ii mostly a pity. On his expert
mental trip don't suppose he
undertook 1t purposeIy for that
besides the pint of insects, Prof.
Dill's auto killed twenty-five red
headed woodpeckerS, one catbird,
one sparrow-hawk, one cow-bird,
one garter-snake, two striped
spermophiles. two skunks, three
rabbits and thirty chickens.
The chickens, as always APP
parently outnum0er all the other
victims except the insects. Why
does checker, or a grown and
usually sensible-looking hen or
rooster, always run across the
road in front of an automobile?
Some psychologists, who do not
disdain the animal mind, say 1t
is only because they are fright
ened and lose their heads. But
that hypothesis fails to account
for the fact that they never run
away from the car, but always
run in front OF 1t.
Even when the barn or hem
yard is on the same side of the
road where they are when the
car approaches, they almost in
variably take flight to the oppo-
site side, crossing in front of the
car. | have myself seen a rooster
racing desperately alongside a
car, trying to get ahead and cross
over in front.
Fate Of Flies
The fate of even such light
creatures as flies when struck by
the windshield of swift-running
auto is q startling lesson in the
meaning of momentum. People
don't often calculate the speed of
their cars in feet per second. It
is easier to reckon it in miles
per hour--and generally, no doubt.
more useful.
But consider that running at so
moderate speed as Is miles All
hour means % feet per second.
80 miles an hour is Al feet per
second. as miles an hour is Sc
feet per second. It Is not Won
derful that bees, flies, butterflies,
moths, beetles, grasshoppers, etc.
are unable, with all their aerial
experience and agility, to get out
of the way of such monster OF
speed bearing down upon them.
Sometimes when an insect
meets a windshield head-on in its
flight, the tiny collision sounds
ho ~ fnI yo;z u
sanguinary spot on the glass is
all that is left to tell the story
of the miniature tragedy.
1t Is because people are not in
the habit of thinking in feet per
second that when a serious col
Hsion occurs, and q car is thrown
across the road as il shot from a
gun, so much surprise is ex-
pressed that such an easy gait"
could produce so much projectilO
force.
